By Pam Robinson As the 44 students, grades 8 through 11, of New Harmony School prepared to board the buses for the last D.C. trip a couple of weeks ago, speakers reminded them to express their gratitude for the town supporting them. Students were encouraged to “give back” to their community through alumni donations. It was announced that the biggest fundraiser for the D.C. trips, Harmonie Hundred, will continue, with proceeds benefitting the Ribeyre Gymnasium Restoration Group.

NH School Concert tonight New Harmony School will be having its Music Concert at 7 p.m. tonight at Murphy Auditorium. It will feature the Junior High/High School Band and K-6 students.

Your help needed The Posey County Sheriff’s Department is investigating an incident that occurred Sunday May 13, in the area of Denzer and St. Philips Road. Anyone having information regarding a person (or persons) who were discharging firearms in the area of Denzer and St. Philips Road during the evening hours of Sunday May 13, is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 838-1321.

The D.C. trip seems to have served as a catalyst for a number of events timed to deliver a grand finale in honor of New Harmony School’s last days. Just this past Tuesday, May 8, the school thanked members of the New Harmony community with a dinner.

Tonight, New Harmony School’s final music performance will take place in Murphy Auditorium at 7 p.m. The junior high and high school band as well as the elementary music classes will perform.

Ongoing until Monday, May 21, at 8 p.m. CDT is the online only

auction of New Harmony School memorabilia. All proceeds will benefit the New Harmony School Foundation. Memorabilia lovers may visit Proxibid.com/wilsonauctions for the full inventory and photos.

The last day of school, Tuesday, May 22, will leave New Harmony students with priceless memories.

Just two days before the school’s last graduation ceremonies, the New Harmony School Celebration Day focuses on students only from 7:40 a.m. until 2 p.m. Beginning at 2 p.m., the celebration will be open

to the public. A photo session, balloon release, singing of the school song, retiring of the flags—all will happen before the final bell sounds from 2:59 to 3 p.m.

New Harmony School alumni will have much to discuss at their banquet on Saturday, May 26, set for two days after graduation.

Surely in recalling the grand finale to New Harmony School, they will be comforted by the words of Dr. Seuss: “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

See the trip photo on page C4 of The Posey County News.

Everyone is invited to attend.

By Pam Robinson A 2008 North Posey graduate, Elias Theodosis turned his tassel as a new Purdue graduate this past Sunday, creating a Mother’s Day memory both his parents will always remember.

Purdue has dubbed the first generation college graduate an “Opportunity Maker,” a special monthly Purdue recognition of its top students.

Theodosis’s strong work ethic and love of learning have, indeed, provided him with an enviable opportunity: he will start his Ph.D. in psychology at Northwestern University this fall with the award of a full-tuition scholarship, a $24,000 per year research stipend and complete health insurance coverage.

He attributes his success foremost to his parents, Chris and Lisa Theodosis, owners of Theodosis Auto in Mount Vernon. The young Theodosis expresses deepest gratitude that his parents got him in the position to take care of himself.

He explains that his parents provided him with as many opportunities as they could afford while he was in high school. When he started 8th grade and until he was a junior in high school, for example, his parents paid for three-week, all-day intensive summer camps sponsored by Northwestern. Yet, Theodosis understood his parents’ modest income couldn’t accommodate college costs.

“They backed me as best they could during high school. College was a whole different ballgame,” he comments. “We’re talking thousands and thousands a year unless you can get scholarships and government support. My parents

couldn’t keep up with that.”

Theodosis won several scholarships to defray costs at Purdue. In addition, he has worked about 20 hours a week at Auto Zone in Lafayette, where he will continue to earn a paycheck this summer. Purdue and Northwestern may have taken the boy out of the body shop, but the body shop hasn’t left the boy in spite of his high achievements.

Nonetheless, Theodosis has been rewarded most through work performed for no monetary compensation. For two and a half years, on top of his classes and his job, he served as a counselor on an all-volunteer call line for the Lafayette Crisis Center. He usually worked the night shift to help provide short-term crisis intervention— and responded to urgent calls of distress during those dark hours when thoughts of suicide seem to spike.

Just this past summer, he also interned for Wabash Valley, Riverbend Hospital as a psychiatric technician. He was assigned to work with a couple of patients in this short-term mental health facility and work on their treatment plans.

Again, the work provided priceless experience.

Somehow, Theodosis has still possessed the energy to work with his valued mentor, Professor Jeff Karpicke, as one of only seven students in Purdue’s Research Focus Honors Program.

As a second semester junior, Theodosis started the program and has learned how to conduct

Click it or ticket to boost seat belt use begins Memorial Day Motorists who refuse to wear their seat belts — beware. Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat announced that Indiana’s 2012 Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement will begin Friday, May 18.

This national mobilization will take place over the Memorial Day holiday period and is supported by by Thousands of law enforcement agencies and traffic safety advocates across the country.

In Indiana, more than 250 law enforcement agencies will conduct special patrols — day and night, to identify and ticket unrestrained motorists. The effort will conclude on June 3.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2010 nationally, 61 percent of the 10,647 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed in motor vehicle crashes overnight (6 p.m. to 5:59 am.) were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the fatal crase compared to 42 percent during the daytime hours.

In Indiana, there were 3,322 crashes involving unrestrained drivers/occupants in 2011 and 2012 fatalities involved unrestrained drivers/occupants.

Although Indiana’s current Seat belt usage rate is 93.2 percent significant number ofdrivers who are at an increased risk for death or injury because they still fail to buckle up on a regular basis,” Officer Brennan Reese the

Click it of Ticket Project Coordinator said. Just last year in Indiana, 1,024 people were ejected from their motor vehicles due to being unrestrained.

Nationwide, younger motorists and men are particularly at risk.

NHTSA data shows that among teen and young adult passenger vehicle occupants in 2010, ages 18-34 who were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes, 62 percent were not buckled up at the time of the crash — the highest percent of any age group. The number jumps to 66 percent when just men in this age group are included.

“Although Click it or Ticket has been credited with increasing Indiana’s seat belt usage rate from 63 percent in 1995 to an observed usage rate of 93 percent in 2011. we still have work to do. In 2010, 52 percent of all occupants killed in crashes were unrestrained in Indiana. Research consistently shows that wearing your seat belt increases your chances of surviving a crash by more than 50 percent.” stated Chief Beloat.

“Mount Vernon motorists should be prepared to see more law enforcement on the roads during this 15- day period,” continued Chief Beloat. Officer Reese concluded by stating that “Special patrols will take place around the clock, and if law enforcement finds you on the road unbuckled at any time, you can expect to get a ticket. No excuses and no exceptions.”

OBITUARIES Imogene Bonds

Olin Davis

Ethel Imogene Bonds, 90, passed away on Friday, May 11, 2012, at West River Health Campus in Evansville.

She was born on April 18, 1922, in Posey County, Ind., to Dallas and Alpha (Burnett) Huck.

Imogene was a graduate of New Harmony High School and attended school to become an LPN. She was a longtime member of St. John’s Episcopal Church. Imogene had worked for Dr. John Crist and Dr. David Julian.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Merle W. Bonds in 1988; son, Teddy Earl Bonds in 2005; and her sister, Virginia “Shorty” Warren.

Imogene is survived by her daughters, Judy Maurer (Paul), and Ginny Althoff (Gerald) all of Mount Vernon; granddaughter, Tammy Weatherford (Michael); great granddaughters, Savannah and Hadley Weatherford; and her cousin, Charlie Huck (Sally) of New Harmony.

The family would like to say a special thank you to the Charles Ford Home, Southern Care Hospice, and West River Health Campus for their dedicated care and support.

Funeral services were held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 13, 2012, at Schneider Funeral Home 512 Main St. in Mount Vernon with the Rev. Allen Rutherford officiating with burial in Bellefontaine Cemetery.

Visitation was held from 1:30 p.m. until the 3 p.m. service time on Sunday, May 13, 2012, at the funeral home.

Memorial contributions may be made to Southern Care Hospice or the Posey County Council on Aging.

He had worked as a truck driver in the oil fields and was a member of the Wadesville General Baptist Church.

Theodosis, from Page 1A conducted research in the Cognition and Learning Lab. He and Karpicke study the relationship between learning and memory— specifically, metacognition, or thinking about one’s own thinking. Theodosis will continue to learn about and produce such research under the guidance of Dr. David Rapp at Northwestern.

The Savah native may be best remembered as the kicker for the North Posey football team in his sophomore year and as a member of North Posey’s champion high school spell bowl team. Others will connect him with his one sister, Elisha Farrar, who lives with her husband Jon and their daughter Isabela near New Harmony.

Once he completes his doctorate in psychology, Theodosis wants to continue with research and to teach as well. For him, the transition from cars to cognition seems natural.

“Cars are something I grew up with. [Helping with] cars is something I’ve always been able to do and something I’ve always been interested in,” he states. “I’ve also liked to talk with people and know what people are thinking and why they are thinking that. So when I came up here [to Purdue], I reevaluated things, and I went into psychology.”

He leads one to believe, however, he will probably always change the oil in his own car.

Olin B. Davis, 58, born to Cecil and Jewel (Eaton) Davis on December 19, 1953, in New Harmony, Ind., died Friday, May 11, 2012, at his home in New Harmony, after losing his battle with cancer.

A graduate of New Harmony High School in 1971, he worked for the Town of New Harmony for over 21 years, and a member of the Town of New Harmony Parks and Recreation Tree Board for five years.

He was also member of the Sons of the American Legion Post 370, for over 35 years and held the office of the adjutant.

Olin was a huge fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Indiana Hoosiers. He loved to dance and he loved “his girls” Lady and Baby his dogs. You could always tell where Olin lived because he placed his concrete Dalmatian (which was recently trimmed in pink by his niece) in his front yard. He wanted to make sure to give a shout out to the “sock sucker” boys, and you know who you are!

Olin is survived by his wife: Angela (Happe) whom he married on November 8, 1997; three sons: Scott (Rebecca) Fischer of Carmi, Ill., and Bryan Happe and Zack Davis both of New Harmony, Ind. Also surviving are four grandchildren: Brody Fischer, Austin Fischer, Noah Fischer and Carter Happe; siblings: Kathy (David) Nickelson and Jenny Davis, both of Evansville, Ind., Robert (Nicole) Davis of New Harmony, Ind., Rocky (Judy) Davis of Evansville, Ind., and Debbie Drake of the St. Louis area, along with several foster siblings; nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws. Olin had more friends than can be listed, but a good start would be the entire town of New Harmony, and then some.

Olin was preceded in death by his parents; a sister: Jackie Davis and a grandson: Dimitri Fischer.

Funeral Services will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 15, 2012, at the Werry Funeral Home in New Harmony, Ind., with burial in Maple Hill Cemetery.

Friends called at the funeral home from 4 until 8 p.m. on Monday, May 14, 2012. There was a reception to follow at the American Legion Post.

Donations can be made to the Town of New Harmony, Parks and Recreation/Tree Board, 520 Church Street, PO Box 340, New Harmony, Indiana 47631.

Thanks to all the friends, family and Southern Care “hospice” for helping us through this rough time.

Obesity is now a problem for unborn babies By: Gordon Filepas Obesity isn’t just an American problem; in Britain, doctors have begun administering the diabetes drug metformin to the unborn babies of morbidly obese mothers-to-be to reduce the fetuses’ weight.

The reason: dangerously overweight pregnant women create excessive amounts of insulin, which results in “sumo babies” weighing 11 pounds or more. These extra-large newborns have twice the chance of becoming obese adults, and their numbers have risen by 50 percent in the past four years. Obese pregnant women are at a higher risk of dying while pregnant, and their babies are more likely to be stillborn.

“I don’t know how many more signs we need in Western society before we really get serious about our health,” says Gordon Filepas, author of Lean And Healthy To 100 (www. adviceformychildren.com), a guide for achieving optimal health based on studying cultures where long lives are the norm.

“Are we really treating unborn babies for obesity?”

In his research, Filepas found many common practices and characteristics in especially healthy cultures. They include: • Calories: It’s not necessary to count calories; people in healthy cultures don’t! Once you give your body what

it needs, you’ll naturally consume fewer calories. This puts significantly less stress on the digestive system and reduces the potential of ingesting toxins.

• Heavy on nutrients: Human beings evolved as hunters and gatherers who took every opportunity for caloric intake.

In the process, a wide spectrum of nutrients became the norm, and that is what bodies still crave today.

• Focus on whole and unprocessed foods, fats, and oils: Examples include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and grains. Meat, which is usually the main dish in Western culture, is often treated as a side dish in the cultures Filepas studied.

• Limited toxins: This includes few, if any, pollutants from processed food, water and other beverages, medicine and air.

• A sense of purpose: Individuals from these cultures feel like they are making a difference beyond earning money, and tend to work long days, six days a week.

• Innate exercise: Virtually no additional form of exercise is needed beyond their daily activity.

• Alcohol: Every culture has alcohol. Healthy populations drink regularly, but in moderation. And, they take a greater sense of responsibility for their health.

• Traditional cooking methods: This means low-tech methods, absent of microwaves.

Beef Kebabs Recipe

Featured Animal of The Posey County Humane Society Call The Posey Humane Society at 838-3211 to arrange a time to look at your future pet. General public hours are Mon - Tue 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Wed - Fri 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. - 5 p.m. Sat 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. Sunday Closed

• • • • • • •

MARINADE INGREDIENTS 1/3 cup olive oil 1/3 cup soy sauce 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar 1/4 cup honey 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger Freshly ground black pepper to taste

• • • • •

MARINADE INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes 1 large bell pepper 1-2 medium red onions 1/2 to a pound button mushrooms About 20 bamboo or wooden skewers

DIRECTIONS 1. Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and add the meat. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably several hours or even overnight. (Heck, I’ve kept the meat marinating for a couple days, still great.)

1. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from completely burning up on the grill.

1. Cut the vegetables into chunks roughly the width of the beef pieces. Taking care not to poke yourself, thread the meat and vegetables onto double bamboo skewers. One way to do this safely is to put the piece that you are trying to pierce on a cutting board, and then push the skewers through the piece to the board. Using double skewers will help you turn the kebabs on the grill. If you keep a little space between the pieces, they will grill more evenly. Paint the kebabs with some of the remaining marinade.

1. Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is, and how done you would like your meat, turning occasionally. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Yield: Serves 4-6

Mrs. Deig's first grade class studied the importance of dairy products for proper nutrition and then visited Ritzert Dairy farm to see where their milk comes from. Students watched cows being milked and even felt what that's like for that cow, bottle fed a calf, and saw many of the machines used to make the food they eat every day. Photo submitted

In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together.

Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate

to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others. Today, there are 3.2 million Girl Scouts—2.3 million girl members and 890,000 adult members working primarily as volunteers.

Testimonial

By Lucas W. Ricketts What do you do with the guy who has been diagnosed with several mental illnesses? Or the guy who spent his childhood in group homes, treatment centers, and juvenile detention facilities? Even worse than that, what would you do with the felon who has abused every drug on the face of the earth and spent most of their adult life in prison? Here in Mount Vernon you let them loose in your church! My name is Lucas Ricketts. I am a convicted felon who has spent his life in detention centers, treatment facilities and prison.

Now I am a summer missionary at Mt. Vernon General Baptist Church and this is my story.

I grew up in this town. I’m not sure what the average person would say the “normal” childhood was like but that was not me. I was adopted at the age of two. Both my parents struggled with drug addiction which brought with it a plethora of other issues. These issues coupled with my natural human tendency towards sin quickly brought out the worst in me. By Jr. High my life was a wreck. I was stealing, using and selling drugs, and causing chaos everywhere I went. This behavior brought my scholastic career to an abrupt end and the authorities were not happy. This led to the evaluations, treatment facilities and eventually, South Western Indiana Youth Villages (SIRYV). They all had an idea about the problem but not the answer. At the age of 18 they had no choice but to let me loose on society in the same condition they found me.

My adult life is more of the same. Before I turned 19 I had multiple felony charges and a list of misdemeanors in Vanderburgh County. I was in prison for my 19th birthday and spent the next five years there getting smarter and stronger. I went in with a GED that I received at SIRYV and came out with an Associate degree from Oakland City University. I went in at 124lbs and came out 203. Did that time change me? Absolutely! It changed everything but my heart which was the real problem.

Because nothing changed-nothing changed! I was out for five and a half months and found myself in the Henderson County Detention Center for the same things. This time it was an eight year sentence and this is the place where the story changes. You are expecting me to say I decided to change my life but that’s not how it went. As I sit in that cell helplessly bound by my sinful heart and resolved to live through this new prison time with as much ease as possible God reached down in his mercy. He sent a man to present me the Gospel of Jesus Christ and convict me of my sin.

The real problem was my heart as a result of my separation from God. My sin had me in this position and only Christ could rescue me. This man knew the answer that the rest of the world was searching for!

That day changed me forever. I went forth in my new relationship with God determined to be the man that he intended me to be. Throughout my time I received theological training that has allowed me to serve him as a minister of the Gospel. Upon my release I married the mother of my daughters and became the man that God has intended me to be for them. I worked for a while until God opened up the

door for us to move to Louisville so I could attend Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and further my training as a minister of the Gospel. That is where we live even as a serve here at Mt. Vernon General Baptist Church.

Jesus’ redemptive work is the answer to our sinful condition. The answer is found in Him and Him alone. That is

the source of transformation in my life and the source of transformation available to the one who will believe on His name. This is the reason I am a minister of the Gospel. I believe there is hope in Christ. If you are in need of this hope or know someone who is in need feel free to contact me or another minister at Mt. Vernon General Baptist Church.

Vocal ensemble Angelus receives national attention The MVHS Fine Arts Academy’s vocal ensemble Angelus has learned that their audience grew significantly over the weekend.

“Celtic Connections”, a nationally subscribed radio program based at WSIU (Carbondale, Ill.) used two of the ensembles tracks from their newest recording “Michael

McGlynn: Music for Women’s Voices”. Music director Dana Taylor discovered last weekends playlist at the radio programs website and saw that the host had included the tracks “Geantrai” and “Bean Phaidin”, two Irish language pieces recorded last summer following the ensembles tour to San Francisco. “Needless

to say we were surprised and pleased to have been included on the program”, notes Taylor.

Angelus performs a significant number of works by Dublin based composer Michael McGlynn and have found his works to be enjoyable yet challenging. McGlynn’s own ensemble “Anuna” is noted as one of “Angelus’” influences.

Their new recording includes the tracks mentioned as well as “Mariam Matrem Virginem”, “The Wild Song”, “Jerusalem”, “Media Vita”, “Hymn to the Virgin”, “Pie Jesu”, “Incantations”, and “Lorica”.

“Celtic Connections” host Bryan Kelso Crow said of “Angelus” that “they deserve widespread recognition for their work!” “Celtic Connections” is broadcast on Friday nights at 7 on 88.3 WNIN and nationally over 90 affiliated stations ranging from Alaska to Florida each week with a potential audience of two million listeners.

Individuals interested in the ensembles CD’s should contact Dana Taylor at taylordw@ MVSHS student Audrey Summers displays her artmsdmv.k12.in.us or by calling work. She was selected to receive the Presidential Merit812-833-5932.

The award, presented each year at Spring Commencement, recognizes high academic performance, a commitment to service, outstanding leadership, and diverse involvement in campus activities. The winner is chosen by a committee of UE students and faculty.

Fricke, a North Posey High School alumna, graduated from UE today with a Bachelor of Science in communication with emphases in public relations, advertising, and

multimedia production, and a minor in legal studies.

Since her sophomore year, Fricke has been a leader in the growth of the University's digital media presence through AcesTV, a studentrun broadcast media program that produces videos for University departments, events, and television commercials. She has also been involved with Student Activities Board, International Club, and Admission Ambassadors, and spent a semester at Harlaxton College, UE's British campus in Grantham, England.

Bank on Posey to bring services to residents without accounts Elizabeth Baier, Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County, announced that the United Way of Posey County is introducing the Bank On Posey County program which was launched with the first financial education class on April 27, 2012. The Bank On program provides the “unbanked” a safe place to keep their funds, establish financial records and keep more of their money instead of paying high check cashing fees. As they continue to use traditional banking services, the unbanked will also begin to build a credit file which is the first step in establishing a credit rating. This will also benefit those who will have

to receive funds by electronic deposit.

The Bank On Posey County program brings together local financial institutions and community partners to create improved access to mainstream financial services and financial education. This initiative is being launched with the support of the United Way of Posey County, Family Matters, and Township Trustees.

The next class is scheduled for Tuesday, May 22, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. at Family Matters, Hedges Central, Room 132, 716 Locust Street, Mt. Vernon. Use Entrance #8 on Eighth Street.

To register or for more information, please contact the

United Way of Posey County at 812-838-3637 or Family Matters at 812-838-6875.

Point Township native Tammy Arbary inherited a green thumb from her grandparents, the late J.L. and Pearl Robinson.

She has always divided her bountiful harvest of vegetables among friends and family. Now, she is also sharing her growing secrets with the youth at her church, Harvestime Temple, in Mount Vernon.

About three weeks ago, the Harvestime kids, from toddlers to teens, planted their community vegetable garden on the church campus under Arbary’s supervision. As part of their Wednesday night Christian training, the kids have worked in three shifts to weed, water, and fertilize their plants as they reach toward the sun.

They trust and appre-

ciate Arbary, for she’s a hands-on worker, visible to them in a number of roles at Harvestime. On Sunday mornings, she teachers a Bible lesson, for this & other great deals! sign language and song to the “Legos” class of boys and girls, aged 3-6 years old (pre-K to K). On Wednesday evenings, she teaches a class of girls, the Prims, grades K-3.

In addition, she is active in the church women’s group and leads the new women’s craft night one Friday a month (usually the third or fourth Friday). So far, the women have enjoyed creating beaded jewelry bookmarks, scrapbooks and homemade spa items.

This month, they will create a stepping stone at Hasting Plants & Produce in Point Township.

For four years, Arbary

Larry Bennett’s

served also as the director of Harvestime’s outreach for Angel Food Ministries, now closed.

Arbary and her husband Cecil will celebrate 18 years of marriage on September 10. The couple has focused on their family—April (23), Mollie (20) and Joshua (6). Arbary has homeschooled her children, embarking upon this adventure 20 years ago. She provides childcare for her only grandchild so far, Nevaeh (18 mos.) as well.

Needless to say, Arbary tends her own large vegetable garden and numerous flower beds in addition to canning and freezing her produce.

To get away from it all, she reads and sometimes helps at Michelle’s Icing on the Cake in Mount Vernon.

Mount Vernon boys are Big Eight champs, girls second

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ track team had a good night at their Big Eight Conference meet and the boys had an even better one.

The Wildcats captured two of three relays, got a blue ribbon performance from Austin Guthrie and racked up enough lower finishes to come away with first place in the conference meet, edging Washington 95-92 Thursday at Princeton.

Ericka McCormick won the 800-meters and the Lady Wildcats swept the relays, but it wasn’t enough as Mount Vernon took second in the Big Eight Conference girls’ meet, scoring 118 points, also at Princeton.

Depth played a major role in the success of both Mount Vernon teams, as each squad had one individual blue ribbon winner.

For the boys, it was Guthrie, taking the 110-meter hurdles in a time of :15.99, while McCormick captured the 800 in 2:30.92.

What the teams lacked in individual strength, they made up for with depth, which also meant some of the Cats’ other mainstays scored points in more ways than one.

Jon Hoehn was second in the 400-meters, for instance, but he teamed with Adam Hoehn, Alex DeKemper and Ryan Dick to win the 1,600-meter relay in 3:33.06, after Sage Irons joined the Hoehns and Dick to take the 3,200-relay (8:27.99).

A 4-5 finish by Charlie Schneider and Devin McCune in the 200-dash scored points for the Wildcats, as did Jon Hoehn and Michael Cammato’s 2-3 finish in the 400, while DeKemper followed Guthrie with a third-place finish in the 110-hurdles, and the two combined for a 2-4 finish in the 300-hurdles.

Being the sum of their parts also led to good things for the Lady Cats in their meet.

Not only did McCormick win the 800-meters, she also finished third in the 400-dash, while many of her teammates scored points in their individual events, teaming up to give the Lady Cats a sweep of the relays.

Toni Waddell was second in both the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs, but she joined forces with Lauren Stemple, Montana Eaton and Megan Randall to win the 3,200-relay (10:21.62). Waddell and Stemple ran the last two legs of the first-place 1,600-relay squad (4:16.07) with Abby Randall and Ellen Foster helping out. Stemple, Foster, Megan Randall and Kellen Ray gave Mount Vernon a sweep of the relays by posting a time of :52.99 in the 400-relay.

Did we mention that Ray was also second in the 300-hurdles? Or that Foster was second in the long jump, in addition to her efforts in the relays?

Unfortunately for Mount Vernon, Jasper‘s girls picked up six blue ribbons and that was enough to give them the championship.

Mount Carmel finished third in the girls’ meet with 98 points, while Washington was an even more distant fourth with 66 tallies. Princeton (43), Vincennes (23) and Vincennes (11) rounded out the girls’ field.

The boys won out in a close field where just under five points covered the top four teams.

Vincennes barely missed second place with 91.60 points, while Jasper was fourth with 90.30 and Boonville wasn’t that far out of the picture either, finishing fifth with 85. Mount Vernon boys’ coach Steve Brenton said that the conference was wide open prior to the meet and the Big Eight lived up to that reputation.

Princeton (30) and Mount Carmel (11) rounded out the boys’ meet.

The Mount Vernon Girls Track team traveled to Princeton this week with high hopes of a Big 8 Conference title. The team came totaled enough points for second place but came away with five Conference Titles, including sweeping all three relay races, which is becoming a Wildcat tradition. Conference champions for 2012 are, front row: Megan Randall, 4x800 relay; Erika McCormick, 800 meter run, 4x800 relay and 4x400 relay; and Toni Waddell, 4x800 relay.

The team as a whole also placed several second - sixth place finishes to show their depth as a team is rounding out.

Seventh inning heroics give Vikes win over Memorial, a 3-0 week

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings turned into animals this week, winning all three of the games they played. But perhaps none was bigger or more exciting than Saturday morning’s comefrom-behind 3-2 win over Evansville Memorial.

“We played some pretty good baseball this week,” Viking Coach Kevin Smith said of the week. “We are starting to see the results of the work the kids have been putting in, both on and off the field. Things are starting to come together. I was patient with the way we were patient at the plate.”

Smith said that early in April, the team lacked some experience and had to learn some things the hard way. But they learned the lessons and have put them to good use over the past few games and have run their record to 16-7.

“I just want our kids to continue to improve day after day, whether it is in practice or in a game situation,” Smith said. “I’m pretty pleased with where the kids are right now attitude-wise, and how they are approaching each and every pitch and each and every game.”

The Tigers came to North Posey fresh off an old-fashioned thrashing of SIAC opponent and possible Viking sectional opponent Mater Dei. But after a rough start, the Vikings settled down and took the most of the opportunities they were given to win the game.

“That’s probably the best feeling that I have had this year,” Smith said after the Memorial game. “I think it is a sign that we are starting to reach the point we need to be heading into the final week of play. We still certainly have a lot of work to do but we are making progress. It is good to see the kids rewarded for the hard work and the effort they put in.”

Smith was aware of the Tigers’ impressive offensive showing against Mater Dei. The Tigers used a potent offense to run-rule the Wildcats. So he knew his team was going to have to play excellent baseball if they were going to have a chance to win the game.

“They jumped out on us 2-0 there in the beginning. Colton Martin struggled there a little bit in that first inning, throwing 26 pitches,” Smith said. “He struggled finding the strike zone and his release point location. But after that, he just pitched a tremendous game and kept us close. Our batters did a good North Posey first baseman Shane Neumann attempts job of potting the ball in play and in fact, we were able to tie to make this catch on Saturday against Memorial. Neu- the game there in the sixth inning.” mann would deliver the game-winning RBI for the ViThe Vikings got a few hits but left several runners on base kings.Photo by Dave Pearce

through the first five innings but their defense stiffened, allowing them the opportunity to stay within striking distance.

“Shane Neumann then came in and pitched a scoreless top of the seventh inning after we had tied the game in the sixth and he ended up getting the game-winning hit there in the bottom of the seventh,” Smith said with satisfaction. “It was pleasing to see that we had two seniors come through for us there in the seventh.”

With two out in the seventh, shortstop Jared Meliff singled.

The speedy senior then stole second and then third. That allowed him to score the game-winning run on Neumann’s single.

“From a coaching perspective, there is nothing more enjoyable than seeing the young men come through with the hard work they have put in all season long and they have a chance to stand in the box and be on the base at the right time to deliver in that setting,” Smith said. “In this game, that doesn’t always happen. But I thought Saturday was just an accumulation of things, about our kids battling and battling and battling and not giving up and getting a win against what I thought was a pretty good ballclub.”

In the sixth, Cody Voelker led off with a walk and stole second. Meliff then walked and a wild pitch put Voelker on third. He scored on a sacrifice fly by Martin. Kyle Voegel then singled, moving Meliff to third before an Alec Werry grounder to short was mishandled, allowing the Vikings to score the tying run.

Earlier in the week, the Paoli Rams were no match for the Vikings as the team traveled down only to be run-ruled by the host Vikings. Then at Boonville, the Vikings again played solid baseball, taking an 8-2 decision from the Pioneers on their field in Warrick County.

“We’ve obviously been dinged up a little here and there but I can’t think of a single player who isn’t working hard to get better,” Smith said. “Ryan Gish got hurt but Zack Stoneberger stepped in and had filled the catching spot that we needed to have filled. He is getting some good experience and has thrown out a couple of baserunners for us. I would just say everyone from top to bottom has made the right kind of strides, both offensively and defensively.”

Meliff and Voelker, two seniors, are leading the team in hitting while Smith said everyone on the team has been solid

Lady Vikings deliver knock-out blow in bottom of seventh

the final inning of play. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes high school athletics fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amy Brandenstein has been hitting the ball well for us but she was coming back off a hard-hit ball that went off her palm in the top of the inning,â&#x20AC;? Gentil said of his third baseman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was still hurting her. But she has batted about .335 this year and she and Haylee Harness have accepted that role. We decide who is going to play third base on a given night, based on the scouting report from the team we are facing.â&#x20AC;?

It was a good call that Brandenstein was at the plate with it all on the line on Friday.

With one out, Morgan Stierley smacked a double to the fence to set the tone. Deana Lindauer then singled. Maddie Elpers, subbing for her sister Ally, came up with a base hit to load the bases. Taylor Patton then got a single for the first RBI of the inning.

Then pitcher Ashley Schoor, who had committed one of the fourth inning errors, redeemed herself with a hit to load the bases.

She gave way to a pinch runner and Megan Baehl then fought her way to a good at-bat and walked in a run to set up the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She went with the pitch and got us two big RBIs tonight,â&#x20AC;? Gentil said proudly of Brandensteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game-winning heroics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was 2-for-4 tonight, as was Megan Redman. Stierley and Wassmer each had a pair of hits and Redman and Stierley each had doubles. Wassmer had a nice sacrifice for us and she had a triple there in the second inning.â&#x20AC;?

Wood Memorial was coming off a lopsided win over Southridge, a Pocket Athletic Conference opponent and possible sectional opponent.

Against the Chargers earlier in the week, the Vikings dominated to the tune of 8-1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just played a fantastic game against them. Everyone was on the top of their game,â&#x20AC;?

Gentil said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taylor Patton was 2-for-3 with a double and Megan Baehl was 2-for-2 with three RBIs. Haylee Harness also had a good night at the plate against Pike.â&#x20AC;?

For the season, Megan Redman is batting over .440 while Stierley had been in a little slump until she hammered the big double against Wood Memorial. The senior catcher is still batting well over .400.

Coming off a very good week, the Vikings will enter their final week of regular season competition with an 11-11 record. They have two games this week before entering sectional play next week. The Vikings open the Forest Park Regional and will face the team that has eliminated them each of the past two years, the Tell City Lady Marksmen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like our draw,â&#x20AC;? Gentil said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are familiar with Tell City. They will probably pitch the Hayes girl, a lefty. She will bring some stuff and we will have to come realizing that it is post-season and everyone is fighting for their lives to keep playing.â&#x20AC;?

The winner of the Viking-Tell City game will face the winner of the Mater Dei-Southridge game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have to win three games to win the sectional,â&#x20AC;? Gentil said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I have said this all along. Mater Dei is probably the favorite but Forest Park, South Spencer, Southridge and us are all playing well now.

Prior to the sectional, the Vikings will host Washington on senior night on Thursday before facing Boonville on Saturday before the sectional.

Lady Rappites earn 13-10 win over Gallatin

By Steve Joos On a night when spring sports at New Harmony High School were honored for the last time, the softball team picked up a big win in dramatic fashion.

The Lady Rappites plated eight runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and then held off the visiting Gallatin County Lady Hawks for a 13-10 victory.

The key to the win was a simple one, according to coach Jeff Moore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you hit the ball, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a good chance of winning,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We scored 13 runs and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been preaching.

The last three out of four games weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually started hitting the ball. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving me gray hairs, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

a lot more fun when you hit, you score runs and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re winning.â&#x20AC;?

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy, as the Lady Rappites fell behind 8-3 after an inning and one half in their first contest since returning from a class trip to Washington, DC, and going 10 days without practicing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew we could come back on them,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best of teams, but they were a decent ball club. We kept pecking away here and there; I tried to keep them upbeat and everything. It seemed to work out.â&#x20AC;?

The Lady Rappites started pecking away early, plating three runs in the bottom of the first and cutting a 4-0 deficit down to 4-3. They added another in the bottom

of the second, but Gallatin County scored another four runs, chasing starting pitcher Kelsey Owen. Morgan Matthews took over and shut the Lady Hawks down for most of the next five innings.

After cutting the Gallatin County edge to 8-5 in the bottom of the fourth, New Harmony broke loose in the last of the fifth.

A walk to Kendall Morris opened the inning, followed by a single by Madison Worman and another walk, this time to Owen, which followed a double steal. Abby Deckard signaled in a pair of runs, pulling the Lady Rappites to within two runs.

Two more singles brought in another run, and then Kendall Wilson doubled in the game-tying and goahead runs. Four more runs scoffed as New Harmony opened a 13-8 lead.

Wilson finished the night with three hits, while Worman and Deckard each banged out two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good to pick a win up,â&#x20AC;? Moore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won the games we wanted to, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to hit the ball and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing good defense. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always played good defense, but when you only get one hit, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win that many games.â&#x20AC;?

Moore also thanked the fans for their support over the course of the season.

A veteran youth and high school coach, Moore is retiring after this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you make errors, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose.â&#x20AC;?

That was all Moore had to say after the Lady Rappites were victimized by two rough defensive games at Shoals Saturday, losing a doubleheader to the Lady Jug Rox 17-7 and 15-12.

In the opener, New Harmony committed five errors in one inning, and then committed another five miscues in one inning of the nightcap.

Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled game at Gallatin County was cancelled.

Vikings, from B1 and steady defensively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get this far and feel good about the team without everyone accepting their roles,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just expect that we can just walk onto the field and win but we know that we can go out every night and compete. We know we have some kids that can go out and make the defensive plays, and some kids that can get to the plate and get on base for us and give us a chance. And we have quite a few kids that can step on the rubber and can give us a chance from the first windup and as long as they are in the game. It is just a collective effort. We feel well about where we are.â&#x20AC;?

Tyler Stoltz got the win against Paoli and Alec Werry went nearly six innings at Boonville to get the win.

Neumann came in and got the final four batters on a total of 11 pitches.

Wildcats continue to improve, make the most of opportunities

By Steve Joos A run here, a run there and pretty soon, the Mount Vernon baseball team had a big win Wednesday night.

The Wildcats strung together a few hits over the course of their game with Harrison and slammed the door by scoring three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to put away the visiting Warriors 8-2, shaking off a tough 3-2 loss at Jasper Tuesday.

“We just tried to move the baseball and tried to move the guys around,” Coach Paul Quinzer said. “That (the fifth inning) was a nice inning for us, to get something going to get more than a run.”

Quinzer was hoping that the Cats would get more than just a run or two in an inning and said that the team had its chances before the bottom of the fifth but couldn’t put anything major together, but they did take a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the fifth, answering a 1-0 Harrison advantage in the top of the first with two runs in the bottom of the inning.

Harrison squared the set in the top of the third, but Mount Vernon pushed a go-ahead run

across the plate in the bottom of the inning and held on until the fifth, when they took advantage of a tired pitcher and some Harrison miscues to score three runs and open things up.

“That’s what you try to do,” Quinzer said. “You try and work the pitcher, you try and get good pitches, and you try and get the pitch count high and see if he’ll make mistakes.”

Ross Canada scattered seven hits and threw a wide variety of pitches, both fast balls and breaking balls, to get the win. He helped himself at the plate with a walk in the bottom of the sixth inning, as the Cats scored their last two runs.

The Wildcat hurler led off the bottom of the sixth with a walk and River VanZant followed with a single. After VanZant and courtesy runner J.T. Silvers moved into scoring position, Jevin Redman doubled both runners home.

“When Ross is getting over all his pitches for strikes, he’s tough to beat,” Quinzer said.

“Tonight was one of the nights that he was one and he pitched a good ball game.”

Ford drove in a run with a single in the first, while Troy Paris and Aaron Roberts each

Carmi Lady Bulldogs pull out a 3-2 victory with three runs in the top of the seventh, then on Thursday, the Vincennes Lady Alices did all their damage in the early going and held off the Lady Cats, 10-5, dampening Mount Vernon’s senior night.

“I was disappointed the last two nights,” Coach Dave Bell said. “I just thought we should have played a little better and won two ball games, instead we lost two ball games. That’s kind of disheartening.”

It appeared that Wednesday’s game would come down to which team got the breaks—and Mount Vernon broke through first.

The two teams battled through a scoreless tie for five and one-half innings, with the Lady Cats unsuccessful in three attempts with runners in scoring position. Each time, the batters took called third strikes.

Andrea Dick led off the bottom of the sixth with a walk and moved all the way to third when Lady Bulldog catcher Jessica Money threw away Tylyn Tanner’s bunt up the third base line.

Dick scored the first run of the game by beating the throw to the plate on Amy Seifert’s grounder to short. Seifert was sage on that play and stole second, but Tanner was gunned down at the plate when she tried to score on Ellie Weilbrenner’s grounder back to the mound. Rhylee Ford lifted a sacrifice fly to center, scoring Seifert.

That sent pitcher McKenzie Stratton back to the mound with a 2-0 lead and what was needed were three outs.

That didn’t happen.

Bailey Winter and Emma Bachmann cracked back-to-back doubles to open the top of the seventh, cutting the lead to 2-1.

A passed ball sent Hardeson to third base and a one-out single

by Briley Attebury brought in Hardeson with the tying run.

Attebury went to second on the throw to the plate and came around on singles by Bailey Bratcher and Emilie Turentine.

Mount Vernon had a chance to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh when Brittany Wilson led off with a walk and went to third on a pair of ground outs, but Dick ended the game with a line drive back to the mound.

“We scored two runs in the sixth inning and had a 2-0 lead,” Bell said. “We thought we had the ball game won, but they came back in the seventh with three runs. We’ve still got some work to do.”

Bell complements the defense and pitching, but felt that things got away in the seventh inning.

“We played well,” he said. “Just not well enough to win the game.”

The opposite was true on Thursday, as Vincennes broke open a 2-2 tie with three runs in the second inning and then tacked on another four in the top of the third, building a 10-2 lead that held until the bottom of the fifth.

“I don’t know,” Bell said. “We didn’t seem to have a whole lot of fire tonight. I don’t know if it’s because we lost a heartbreaker (against Carmi) or what, but I was disappointed with the effort at the start. We dug a hole and then we played with them for a while, but I wish I could put a finger on it. We didn’t do the job we were supposed to tonight.”

The Lady Cats struggled with runners in scoring position, leaving a number on base over the course of the game. A twoout double by Ford was wasted in the bottom of the third inning when Tanner popped too short.

Seifert singled with one out in the fourth, but was forced at second by Weilbrenner ahead of Ford’s two-bagger. Tanner’s pop-up stranded both runners.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Mount Vernon finally put something together. Tucker was hit by a pitch to open the frame, went to second when the throw on an attempted double play sailed past the Lady Alice first baseman, moved to third on a ground out and scored on Denning’s single. Dick reached on an error and then Tanner and Seifert each singled scoring Denning. An illegal pitch brought in Dick and moved the other runners into scoring position, but they died there when Winiger grounded to second.

“We’re having a hard time deciding that we can hit with runners on base,” Bell said. “Some of us go up there already knowing what’s going to happen before we get up to the plate. We’ve been playing good ball all year and now here at the end of the year is not the time to change that.”

Stratton missed her spots at times, Bell said, adding that the Mount Vernon defense kicked a few balls and Vincennes hit a few. She was relieved in the fifth inning by Denning after being riddled for 10 runs by Vincennes and going the distance against Carmi.

Bell said that the team made some adjustments late in the game which enabled them to hit the ball better. They played good defense, which is necessary for the Lady Cats to compete.

Two errors, a bunt single and a bases-clearing double by Alex Kotter highlighted Vincennes’ four-run third inning, which stretched the lead from 5-2 to 9-2. The Lady Alices scored their last run of the night in the top of the fourth.

Silver Bell wins two, Hoehn wins first The Silver Bell won twice and Hoehn Plastics won for the first time this season in St. Wendel Softball League action Friday at the Athletic Club field.

The Silber Bell, a perennial powerhouse in the Friday night loop, slammed Sandy’s Pizza 11-1 in the first game of the night and then accepted a forfeit after DT’s did not arrive for the conclusion of their game, which was suspended due to rain on May 4.

The score of that game at

the time it was called, 12-0, was allowed to stand.

Hoehn Plastics, which merged with Mason for this year’s competition, pounded the Multiple Scoregasms 15-1, for their first win in three tries so far this year.

When DT’s did arrive, they were bombed by MAP Oil 11-1.

The league will go on a two-week break until June 1, due to the Memorial Day weekend and a conflict with the St. Wendel Pony League team. Games originally set

for this weekend will be played on June 22.

The two wins gave the Silver Bell a 3-0 record on the season and a share of first place with MAP Oil. Standings: MAP Oil 3-0, Silver Bell 3-0, DT’s 1-2, Sandy’s Pizza 1-2, Hoehn Plastics 1-2, Cole Ackerman with his first place finish at the Posey Multiple Scoregasms 0-3.

Mount Vernon golfers soften the blow with a good finish at Big Eight

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; golf team was having a bad week before going to the Big Eight Conference meet Saturday.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where things got better.

The Cats turned in some of their better rounds of the season and nearly finished second in the meet, but a strong showing by Vincennesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Austin Leonard on the 18th hole dropped Mount Vernon in the meet, with a score of 324, five strokes behind the runner-up Alicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 319.

Getting ready for the Big Eight wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that pleasant for the Cats as they dropped one dual meet and finished second in a triangular prior to the conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The week turned out good,â&#x20AC;? Coach Doug Blair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was disappointed with the way we played during the week, but I was happy with the kids at the Big Eight.â&#x20AC;?

The strong conference meet capped a week where Mount Vernon suffered an off round against Harrison at McDonald, losing 142-169, and then finished second in a triangular with South Spencer and Boonville at the usually friendly confines of Western Hills Country Club.

Going for number two in the conference was sort of an objective for the Cats, Blair explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew going in that Jasper was the team to beat,â&#x20AC;? Blair said of the eventual conference champions, who shot a 296 and ran away from the rest of the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the top 10 teams in the state, so I wanted our goal to be getting as close to Vincennes as possible.â&#x20AC;?

They gave that a good shot and were even holding on to second place until the last foursome finished their rounds.

Trevor Grant paced the Cats with a 77, while Brandon Lauderdale and Todd Sheffer each carded 81s. Andrew Higgins rounded out the foursome with an 85, while Mitchell Jackson recovered nicely on the back side to slice 11 strokes off his score and finish with a 95 (53-42).

Jackson was teamed with a somewhat slow and methodical Jasper golfer and that pace frustrated him early, Blair said, adding that he was finally able to shake the jitters on the back side.

Sheffer knocked six strokes off his score, while Grant could have been in the lower 70s, but was done in by a set of three-putts.

The Cats came in well ahead of fourth-place Washington (352), while Princeton (357) and Boonville (381) rounded out the field.

On Thursday, Mount Vernon carded a 162 and finished second behind South Spencer (158). Boonville ended third with a score of 188.

Joe Reinitz carded a 38 to pace the Cats, but the Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Joe Davis shot a 35 on the Western Hills course and captured medalist honors while all but putting South Spencer past the host Wildcats.

Higgins carded a 40 and Grant a 41, but Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 43 was one stroke behind Austin Enright (42) and that difference at the back of the two teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respective foursomes was the rest of the difference.

Scheffer and Lauderdale each carded 47s to round out the Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contingent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golf is supposed to have the best home field advantage of any sport,â&#x20AC;? Blair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just did not shoot well and they had a kid (Davis) shoot a 35.â&#x20AC;?

John Maple paced the Pioneers with a 45.

On Tuesday, the Cats ran into trouble on Evansvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McDonald Golf Course and were routed by Harrison 142-169.

Jordan Wildt carded a 34 as the entire Warrior foursome broke 40, while the closest Mount Vernon golfers (Grant and Scheffer) only managed a pair of 41s.

Jackson shot a 42 and Lauderdale a 45 to round out the foursome, while Reinitz carded a 47 and Ryan McGruder a 53 for the other Mount Vernon scores.

Blair was hoping for a better showing on Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home course, but the Wildcats just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything going.

North Posey Babe Ruth begins exciting season in style

By Steve Joos North Posey Red scored four runs in the first two innings and then pulled away with six in the top of the sixth to pull away from North Posey Black 12-4 in the South Gibson Babe Ruth League season opener for both teams Saturday night at the high school baseball field.

Connor Voegel singled and reached base all five times he went to the plate for Red. In addition to the hit, Voegel walked three times and was hit by a pitch. He also stole a base and scored four runs, while Cale O’Risky collected three blows, including a bases-clearing double in the sixth which scored three runs.

O’Risky scored two runs and Grant Scheller scored two runs on a single, walk and hit by pitch. In all, 16 Red batters either walked or were hit by a pitch as the Black hurlers struggled with control troubles.

“Part of that was that their pitcher struggled,” Red coach Zach Voegel said. “We did a good job of laying off pitches, we laid off a couple of 3-2 pitches that were just outside the (strike) zone. Whenever they’ve got a struggling pitcher, you don’t want to help him, so we did a good job of that tonight.”

Voegel also struck out five and scattered five hits before giving way to Dalton Rankin, who fanned four in two hitless innings of relief.

“Overall, I thought we had a good effort tonight,” Voegel said. “Both teams are still missing guys because of the high school team, so it’s kind of even. I thought our younger kids did a good job of stepping up.

Our younger kids have got to play, its good experience for the guys and I thought they did a good job.”

Red has some good young pitching and Voegel thinks they can hold the fort down until 15-year-olds Zach Stoneberger and Bo Cox, who can pitch as well as work behind the plate (Stoneberger is the Vikings’ varsity catcher) come back.

Black was without pitchers James Marshall and Christian Jones, both of whom are still playing high school ball and could be for a while as members of the Vikings’ Sectional team.

Josh Wiggins and Jared Hostettler each doubled for Black, which scored three runs in the bottom of the third and didn’t generate much offensive after that.

FRAGRANT FARMS

A PASSION FOR THE PERFUME OF PEONIES

T

he Owen family has long sought to cultivate cu ultltitiv ivate the best in human nature. Likeiva wise, their Fragrant Farms brings out the best in Mother Nature. Their signature peonies add a soft scent to the breeze as it winds through New Harmony to recipients all across the United States.

Just a week ago, on May 7, Fragrant Farms shipped 2,300 stems of peonies via FedEx. Kathy Fridley, manager of Fragrant Farms since 2005, says when the season ends this month, she and her two part-time laborers will have picked a total of 19,000 stems.

That harvest is all the more remarkable, given this year’s early proliferation of blooms. Typically, the cut flower season runs throughout May to early or mid-June.

This year, Fridley says, the first stem was ready to cut April 4.

A former teacher at Memorial High School for 18 years, Fridley explains that the peonies are cut at just the right stage of tight bud. Otherwise, the buds will never open.

Similarly, care must be taken to choose just the right length stem, not too short and not too long. The Signature Collection consists of 14 stems placed in a box with a card. The stems are placed in coolers until shipped overnight via FedEx. Grown in 40 varieties in 5,000 plants, the

peonies are especially popular with three large florists in Indianapolis, Nashville and Detroit. In particular demand are the whites and the light pinks, Fridley comments. In fact, she says that florists can’t seem to get enough of the white bouquets for Mother’s Day, the all-important holiday during peony season. Fragrant Farms usually runs out of whites due to the demand for weddings also.

One-gallon potted peonies are available now for $10 each for spring planting, and again in September during New Harmony’s Kunstfest for fall planting. For those hoping to plant peonies now instead of waiting for the fall planting season, Fridley says they need to get the peonies in the ground soon—the sooner, the better. She notes that the peony is a hardy plant that needs lots of sun.

Once the season ends, Fridley remarks that all the peonies left in the field must be deadheaded, or the blooms cut off. When the stems turn brown in the fall, the plants are cut back to around four inches from the ground.

After the peony harvest, Fragrant Farms prepares for the speedy hand harvesting of grapes over three or four days in August— the quick turnaround required to prevent birds from eating all the luscious fruit. The bounty from four acres of Cayuga White grapes and two acres of Chambourcin red grapes is all delivered to Easley Winery in Indianapolis.

This year, Fragrant Farms will also sell four different varieties of grapes for local, home winemakers.

Of course, the grapes, as they say, are another story.

For that story and for more information about Fragrant Farms, readers may visit the website at www.fragrantfarms. com. Before visiting the farm office at 413 Woods Avenue to buy a potted peony, Fridley recommends calling 682-4406 concerning availability.

OPINION

Complaints and comments are part on MY job, not workers It was a little eery on Sunday evening around 9 p.m. when Poseyville friend Steve Ahrens was behind me in line at the Dollar General Store. Steve TRUTH... looked me directly STRANGER in the eye and asked THAN me a simple quesFICTION tion. “Did you have a good week this BY DAVE week?” I was a little PEARCE taken aback because I really did not have a good week.

But in an effort to keep the rhetorical question in perspective, I simply answered “Yes.” But as I got in the vehicle and headed home, I began to think more about Steve’s question. Did I have a good week this week? Actually, No, I didn’t. As a matter of fact, it has been a long time since I have had a week like this one. I thought maybe Steve had received word about my week. But I will just assume he was asking just to be nice.

My week began with people on the southern end of the county complaining that they do not get equal coverage with the northern end of the County. The question was posed (where else but Facebook), “isn’t it called the Posey County News?”

The complaint was that the names of the individual winners of the North Posey/Mount Vernon junior high track meet had been submitted and printed while the names of the Mount Vernon athletes were not reported and therefore were not printed. I did my best to point out that with the small number of people that we have on staff, we do the best we can.

Then, upon once again looking at the Posey County News Facebook account on Tuesday, I was again chastised because the Mount Vernon and North Posey students’ pictures “are always” on Facebook.

Where are the New Harmony pictures? Upon reminding the writer that the New Harmony student body spent the week in Washington DC and cancelled all their sports activities last week, I was again reminded that there are “always more” pictures of the two larger schools than the smaller one.

Most of the time I can let those things roll off my back. It has been four years (to the week) that we agreed to take a chance on The Posey County News and give the people of Posey County a choice as to what they wanted to read. We decided to go into debt and purchase the paper, knowing there would be little to no revenue in it. But it would be a labor of love. It would be our way of giving back to the community How bad could it be, right?

Then on Wednesday morning, I found out. I walked into the office to find my two “anchor full-time employees” in a bad state of mind.

Both were complaining that it had almost reached the point that they didn’t want to leave the building to eat lunch or do their local business because of comments being made about what is and isn’t covered in our newspaper. I think that might have put me over the edge.

I was not feeling well anyhow. As most of you know, I am diabetic and my numbers had been running incredibly high last week. Only someone with this disease knows what that can do to you. I like to think of myself as a tolerant and patient person. But the combination of things had taken its toll on me.

The longer I sat and thought about it, the more I stewed. The more I

stewed, the more upset I got. I would like to thinik that I really am not one to care much about what people think of me, personally. I have been lied to, lied about, slandered and bantered about. Anyone who has ever worked with the public knows what this is like. I have been cursed to my face and probably much more behind my back. But when people bring the employees who work so hard for me (and the public who is bashing them) into the conversation, they have pushed the wrong button.

I left the office in a whirlwind.

Unfortunately, there was little time to cool off before the two or three stops I was planning to make. Realizing that my staff for looking to me for relief from the constant pressure and nagging, I blew my stack.

Am I proud of what I did? NO, I’m not. Am I proud of the words I used? No, I’m not. But did I mean what I said? Yes, I did. My staff and I are doing the best job we can possibly do. They give unselfishly of their time and talents to cover events that would be of little interest to most people. Believe it or not, there are a number of opinions as to where our limited staff should be on a given night, after they have worked all day in the office. While most of those in “normal” jobs go home at 5 o’clock and do the things you enjoy doing, my small staff is generally just gearing up for the event or events they are adding to their schedule for the convenience of our readers that evening. I’m sorry if it is not the event that you feel should be covered. But there is someone else in the community who feels just as strongly that their event should be covered. One person even went so far as to suggest that the staff member who was sent to their event wasn’t the one they would have liked.

Guest Column by State Rep Wendy McNamara Scholarship Opportunity for young women Politics has primarily been thought of as a man’s world.

The saying used to be behind every great man, stands a great woman, but no longer do women need to stand behind a man to be great. Due to the profound efforts of some organizations, women are now encouraged to take on bigger roles in politics and leadership.

In Congress women hold 16.6 percent of the seats and in state legislatures nationwide women make up 23.3 percent. More specifically, women represent 19 percent of the Indiana General Assembly. As a female legislator, I would like to see this number continue to climb. In order to do so, I believe we must start with encouraging young women early on to understand the political field.

Gavel Gamut’s

The National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) and the National Rifle Association are cosponsoring their annual academic scholarship contest for young women who are high school juniors and seniors.

Seven winners will receive a $3,000 college scholarship award and will be invited to attend NFWL’s annual conference with all expenses paid. At the conference, they will learn about public policy, receive leadership training and be given the opportunity to network with lawmakers from all over the country.

Part of the selection process requires applicants to write an essay. This year’s essay topic is entitled “The Constitution and States' Rights: How federalism im-

pacts women and historically underrepresented populations.” The essay needs to be centered on how various public policies impact women and underrepresented populations when decided at the state or federal level.

All applicants must be sponsored by a woman legislator from their respective state. If you are interested in being sponsored, please contact me at H76@in.gov.

For all contest information and materials visit: www. womenlegislators.org The scholarship is an incredible opportunity, and I encourage all eligible young women to apply. This opportunity will inspire young women by showing them now that they are needed in politics and that they too can attain a seat in public office.

Posey County, also, has made use of other structures. Our first “courthouse” was the living room of Absolom Duckworth’s home (18151816). Then, at a cost of less than $100.00, we built a one room courthouse near Caborn (1816-1817). And when Frederick Rapp, Father Rapp’s adopted son, offered free land for a new courthouse, we built one in Springfield (1817-1825).

When Indiana reorganized our counties and Mt. Vernon became the county seat (1825), we built a fine brick courthouse on the village square. This structure served us from 1825 to 1876 when it was razed and our current courthouse was built at a cost of $99,000.00 on the same location.

Although there have been numerous repairs, improvements and minor changes to our courthouse, it remains almost indistinguishable from the courthouse in which Alvin P. Hovey, John Pitcher and William Harrow practiced law.

John Pitcher loaned Abraham Lincoln his first law books then shared the same books with Alvin Hovey. William Harrow came to Posey County after he rode the law circuit with Lincoln in Illinois. Abraham Lincoln spoke at the dedication of the new bridge at Grafton in 1844 when he was campaigning for Henry Clay. And, when Lincoln became President, Hovey, Harrow and John Pitcher’s son, Thomas, all became Union army generals.

Perhaps the foresight of such citizens as Hovey, Pitcher and Harrow is captured in our beautiful and functional courthouse. As we totally refurbished it only six years ago, it appears our seat of justice will continue serving our citizens far into the future.

ing…again as a community service.

So, to answer your question honestly, Steve, I did not have a good week. I said some things I’m not proud of. But I spoke up for my employees.

As I said repeatedly this week, my email address appears at the bottom of this page each and every week and has for four years now. If you have an issue with something, feel free to email me and I will try my best to find the time to talk with you about it. But this week alone, thanks to the generous support of our advertisers, we are putting together a 42-page paper. How big is your daily paper?

You might want to compare!

But if it is equal Facebook coverage that you want, I can think of only one way to have TOTALLY equal Facebook coverage. That would be to post no pictures at all.

It’s not what I want nor what the other staff members want but many weeks like this one, and that will be the perfect solution. We can use that time to actually have a little bit of life for ourselves!

Letters to the Editor “Thanks” for Senior Carnival

“ It’s Still Working ”

Sherry Willis, who works with Mt. Vernon Mayor John Tucker, asked me to prepare the following short history of our Posey County courthouse.

She plans to include it among GAVEL items describing local fea- GAMUT tures of interest and value.

When it comes to antiques, BY JUDGE such as our one hundred and JIM REDWINE thirty-six year old courthouse, they tend to fall into two major categories: those that are pretty or of interest and those that are still useful. Our courthouse is both.

Let me ask you a personal question: Is your home paid for, and, if it is, is it still in good repair? Well, our courthouse has been paid for since 1876 and it still provides services to our citizens every day and looks good doing it both inside and out. As to the grounds we can thank our maintenance manager, Sharon Carr, and the ladies of the Mt. Vernon Garden Club.

The next time you have business at the courthouse stop in and say “hey” to Posey County Clerk Betty Postletheweight and her staff or us at the court. You might, also, want to let the Garden Club know you appreciate all their hard work; I sure do.

Our Courthouse is the iconic symbol of Posey County. Countless photographs, etchings, and paintings of our courthouse exist.

When we think of a representative structure for Posey County we invariably envision our one hundred and thirty-six year old palladium of justice. But, our courthouse is much more than symbolic. It continues as a living venue for resolving conflicts and administering legal matters. Whereas Vanderburgh County built its “old” courthouse twenty years after ours was in full use and closed it in 1969, our courthouse remains an integral part of our legal system.

Here’s the reality of the situation.

My staff is doing all they can. I cannot possibly ask them to pile more work onto what they are already doing. On a personal note, I am working a full time job in addition to covering the events that I cover during a week’s time. Then someone has to write the stories and put the pages together. I do my share of that, as well. At least half of every weekend is spent on a computer somewhere.

And furthermore, the pictures posted on Facebook are not intended to be a contest to which school or event gets the most pictures or best coverage. This is a FREE and timeconsuming service that we provide to both subscribers and non-subscribers. Anyone can look at the thousands upon thousands of pictures that we have posted online. They are free to be downloaded, despite the fact that it is a little-known fact that once a picture is posted on Facebook, it actually becomes the property of Facebook. But anyone is welcome to look at the pictures. It is something that, given time, we enjoy provid-

We greatly appreciate your generous donations and continued commitment to the MVHS After Prom. This enjoyable and safe alternative for our teenagers is only possible with your support and involvement. Again, we thank you and applaud your community spirit!

Guest Column by Senator Jim Tomes Senate Updates SealCorp USA has decided to expand in the Evansville community, bringing 35 new job opportunities to our area. I applaud this choice and believe it creates a winwin situation. Not only will Hoosiers in southwest Indiana benefit from the added jobs this investment brings, but SealCorp will remain in a state known nationwide for its stable low-tax environment and solid financial footing.

I look forward to helping them foster more growth in the future. Economic development and jobs remain a top priority for me in the Indiana Senate.

SealCorp USA supplies customers in the roofing, automotive, construction, electrical and telecommunication industries with sealants and adhesives. The company currently employs 47 full-time associates in Indiana.

As your Indiana senator, I want to assure you I’m here when you need help with

both local and state matters.

While Indiana does have a part-time legislature, I believe the most important work really begins when the legislative session ends. That’s when I have the opportunity and time to travel throughout southwest Indiana and meet with constituents like you.

So far this interim, I’ve met with a wide variety of groups, employers and individuals: Duke Energy Edwardsport, Posey County’s “Tardy Tuckers” 4-H Club, Indiana Utility Shareholders Association, Hillcrest Evansville, Methodist Youth Home Evansville and Local Schools But I know there are still many more Hoosiers who have opinions they’d like to share with me. I’m here in our local communities, accessible and willing to listen.

Please contact me if you need help with state agency or community issues at Senator.

Hoosiers have reported text message scams that claim to offer free gift cards from companies such as Walmart, Best Buy and Apple. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller warns Hoosiers not to reply to these spam text messages or click any embedded links.

Consumers who respond to these texts are asked to enter personal information – including credit card and social security numbers – in order to receive a gift. Offering this information can lead to credit card theft and identity fraud.

Even declining such offers via text can confirm that your number is accurate and lead to further solicitations.

Signing up for Indiana’s Do Not Call list can help block unwanted texts from reputable companies but will not necessarily prevent scam texts. If you receive such a text and are already on the Do Not Call list, you can file a complaint by visiting www. indianaconsumer.com.

NATIONAL POLICE WEEK 2012

Again this year, communities across the United States will come together during National Police Week—May 13-19—to honor and remember those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the family members, friends and fellow officers they left behind.

This year, the names of 362 officers killed in the line of duty are being added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC. These 362 officers include 162 officers who were killed during 2011, plus 199 officers who died in previ-ous years but whose stories of sacrifice had been lost st to history until now.

Police officers might have one of the most thankless jobss in the United States. While we see them everywhere and at all times of the day, most people only have personal contact with an officer when they have broken the law or become the victim of a crime. They are the men and women who are willing to step into danger to enforce our laws and are willing to lay down their lives to protect others. Mt. Vernon F.O.P. Lodge #133 Auxiliary would like to take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to all Posey County law enforcement officers. We truly appreciate your hard work and dedication. May God bless each and every one of you...

What to look for when researching a graduate program Today’s college graduates are facing a difficult job mar- will be pursuing an advanced degree in the hopes it will help ket, one that is flooded with unemployed professionals but few job openings. As a result, many college juniors, seniors and even recent graduates are considering the pursuit of an advanced degree. When researching different graduate programs, prospective applicants should take the following under consideration. * Admission standards. Applicants should be looking for schools with tough admissions standards. Schools with low admissions standards won’t necessarily provide a degree that’s valued by prospective employers. Since many students

them stand out in a crowded pool of applicants, that advanced degree should be one that has substantial value and not one that was easy to pursue and obtain. * Assistance. A good graduate program will boast a career development program that helps place graduates in desirable careers. Ask about past graduates of the program, and where they are currently working and what they’re earning. * Faculty. When researching graduate programs, look for one whose faculty are well known in your desired field. Most school Web sites list faculty biographies.

It is never too early to plan ahead More and more people are choosing to live solo. While there are plenty of resources for home improvement, a new survey shows singles could use some help getting their financial house in order.

Many single workers lack an adequate financial safety net that would protect their income if they were unable to work due to an illness or off-the-job injury, according to The Hartford Benefits For Tomorrow Study, a national survey of 1,000 full-time workers ages 18 to 64.

The annual poll showed only 44 percent of single Americans have disability insurance. This is despite the fact that singles would be hard hit by an unexpected health issue. In fact, 87 percent of single survey participants said they would need to make lifestyle changes to meet expenses if they lost income for three to six months.

Mike Fish, vice president of voluntary benefits for The Hartford. says “That means singles without paycheck protection are not only putting their current finances - and independence - at risk, but their golden years, too.”

Keeping accounts safe can be simple, common sense oriented For most people, it is rare to go a day without going online or using a mobile device. While having access to the information you want and need makes life a lot easier, it’s most important to use the Web wisely.

Today, keeping personal information safe is a concern for virtually anyone using a computer or a mobile device to access the Internet. Given the fast pace at which technology develops, staying up to date on the latest ways to protect yourself is vital to guarding your personal information.

Keith Gordon, Security, Fraud and Enrollments executive at Bank of America, which was named “Best in Class” for se-

CONGRATULATIONS!

curity and prevention for seven consecutive years by Javelin Strategy & Research, answers some common questions about how to keep your online information safe: Q: What can I do to protect my online accounts and personal information from hackers?

A: Protecting your personal information is as easy as keeping all your passwords private. Create different passwords for your various online logins to guard against hackers gaining access to several of your accounts with one passcode. Using a variety of strong passwords (consisting of letters and numbers) helps to keep your information as safe as possible.

Communications degree, always in demand

Weintraut, Alex

The Posey County News Call 682-3950

Communication is the backbone of all businesses - regardless of size or industry. In the modern business environment, the ability to transmit and store information is vital to productivity - and thus, success. But no communication system runs itself - it’s the people behind the scenes who ensure that a business thrives. This means huge career potential for individuals who can design, implement, secure and manage communication networks and keep them running smoothly.

This widespread demand is one of the reasons CNN.

com listed database administrators and systems administrators among its “Best Jobs in America for Fast Growth.”

Candidates for these positions are expected to have an educational background in network and communications management or similar subjects.

Bachelor’s degree programs in network and communications management prepare students for maintaining network security and system efficiency, as well as designing computer communications systems.

Students of the Network and Communications Man-
