By Pam Robinson The New Harmony Town Council voted Thursday night to set the ribbon cutting and open house for the new fire and emergency medical services, or EMS, station. On Saturday, May 12, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the town will celebrate the completion of this much-needed station. Hot dogs and hamburgers, chips, and cold drinks will be served to welcome the public on this special occasion. Councilman Joe Straw added that within the next few days, officials will be signing off on the completion of the fire/EMS sta-
tion. He noted that EMS personnel are moving into the building on Monday, April 23, and that firefighters are already in the process of moving in. Special guests will include New Harmony/Harmony Township Fire Department volunteers, Posey County Emergency Medical Services personnel; M. Bud Erny, architect, Erny and Associates of Vincennes; Dan Jones, president, Danco Construction, Inc.; David White, president, Premier Electric, Inc.; Roy Ritzert, president, Ritzert Company, Inc.; and representatives of the Economic De-
velopment Coalition of Southwest Indiana. The 6,500-square-foot facility consists of three drive-through bays for fire trucks, living quarters for EMS personnel, an office and training room, ADA-equipped restroom, a utility room and storage/ maintenance space. The cost of construction was approximately $650,000 with $500,000 obtained through a Community Focus Fund Grant from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs. The Community Focus Fund falls under the auspices of the State Community Development Block

Grant (CDBG) program. This program is funded by Title I of the federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The New Harmony Fire Station and EMS facility was also completed using approximately $150,000 in non-CDBG funds, which were derived from the Town’s General Fund, along with several philanthropic gifts, including major donations from the University of Southern Indiana, the Robert Lee Blaffer Foundation, and a Posey County Community Foundation
billing service was first presented, that the county would continue to handle the billing. Then, after a period of time, the billing service would take over attempting collection on bills that weren’t paid. Chuck Thompson explained that was not the case and the billing service has done a much better job collecting money for the ambulance service than they have ever done. In the past six months, a total of $668,000 has been collected. This is just about
By Valerie Werkmeister It would appear that the fate of New Harmony School is now in Posey County’s hands. New Harmony Town Council President David Campbell has approached both the Posey County Council and the commissioners in hopes of persuading them to pay $40,000 to help maintain the property. As it stands now, the MSD of North Posey will take possession of the New Harmony School building and property assets after June 30. Campbell stated he had spoken to New Harmony School Board President Jim Scarafia, who noted that North Posey officials are not interested in utilizing the school building. They would be required to maintain the property for a period of four years, an expense they do not relish. Campbell stated that Indiana code allows for the school to transfer its assets to a government entity for a nominal fee. The Town of New Harmony would like to take control of the school now in case future developments could be determined. “We don’t have plans for it now, but we also don’t want to wait until 2016 when it has deteriorated,” Campbell said.

County discusses collection processes By Valerie Werkmeister Posey County has received its fair share of mishandled state funds. Posey County Auditor Nick Wildeman reported to the Posey County Council members on April 10, that $1,016,773 was received from the Indiana Department of Revenue. At the time of the meeting, he was still awaiting word from the state on how to disburse those funds to the various areas throughout the county. After some debate, Posey County Council members approved $50,000 in additional appropriations for the
Emergency Medical Services Department. The funds will be used towards the ambulance billing service that collects for the county. Councilman Ralph Weinzapfel explained his position on why he voted against the measure when it was first presented. “I just wondered why can’t the county collect as well as the billing service can and also the concern for the county worker who is employed in that position,” he said. Bob Gentil stated he thought that when the idea of using the ambulance
New Harmony students make final trek to Washington DC By Pam Robinson New Harmony School, or NHS, officials and students faced another poignant experience during the send-off Sunday night for the school’s week-long Washington, D.C., trip. Better known as DC VI, the sixth school trip to D.C., brought out school supporters to witness the last NHS group leave. All the travelers wore a special tshirt, “Thank you for sending me to D.C.,” and smiled to hide the tears on this special occasion. Speaking Sunday night were NHS teachers Fred Frayser and Rick Johnson. Both teachers have accompanied students on every D.C. trip. In fact, the D.C. trip is Frayser’s brainchild. School board
president Jim Scarafia also addressed the students. NHS Principal Doug Mills, the group leader, is one of eight adults acting as chaperones on the trip. His colleagues include Sue Saxe, R.N., Fred Frayser, Don Kissell, Rick Johnson, Jessica South, Michelle Keepes and Ashley Temple. They will direct 44 students, grades 8 through 11, until they return to New Harmony on Saturday, May 5. The senior class has already traveled to D.C. as freshmen for the inauguration of President Obama. Unlike the previous five DC trips, DC VI was put together in just a little over three months instead of the typical two years of planning and fundraising. Since
NHS sixth-grade teacher Fred Frayser organized the first DC trip, all subsequent trips until now have coincided with the Presidential inauguration. DC VI is taking place six months before that auspicious event. As a result, students will enjoy springtime at the Capitol and follow a bit different itinerary than earlier groups. Stops include the Smithsonian, the Capitol building, Arlington Cemetery, the National Cathedral, Lazy Susan Dinner Theater, Ford’s Theater, Twilight Tattoo performance, Lincoln Memorial, Korean Memorial, FDR Memorial and the Pentagon Memorial along with a number of special restaurants. As always, stu-
dents will visit the Vietnam Memorial Wall and honor fallen soldiers, including Rappite James Alexander Myer. Principal Doug Mills said the total cost of the DC VI trip for the 52 travelers totaled roughly $46,000, or around $880 per person—all donated by the community. He singled out school board president Jim Scarafia and others for raising the largest portion of the cost through the Harmonie Hundred bike race. In addition, he noted that Fred Frayser, the Kiwanis and Tim Tilford (corporate liaison) were instrumental in fundraising. The DC VI group will return, no doubt to a hero’s welcome, on Saturday, May 5.
NP Honors and Graduation North Posey High School will hold its annual Honors Program on Thursday, May 17, 2012 in the high school main gym. The program will begin at 8:15 a.m. with the presentation of academic and scholastic awards. Graduation is May 25 at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium.
The entire New Harmony School prepares for their final trip to Washington D.C. The group got a huge send-off from townspeople
as the last group to take part in this New Harmony tradition. The school will close at the end of the year. Photo by Pam Robinson

School Building, from Page 1A designated fund setup by the volunteer fire department. New Harmony’s previous Fire Department on East Tavern Street was housed in a building that dates back to 1899, and the previous EMS was located in the former Tree of Life medical clinic, built in 1976, on South Street. The new building is located at 400 Old Fairgrounds Road, near the intersection of SR 66 & SR 69, at the east entrance to New Harmony. Later in the meeting, another building drew attention from council: the soon-to-be vacated New Harmony School building. Council President David Campbell reported his appearances before the Posey County Council and the Posey County Commissioners. The Town of New Harmony is asking for $40,000 per year for three years from the county’s economic development income tax, or EDIT, revenue—if the Town of New Harmony acquires the school property on July 1, 2012. In turn, the Town of New Harmony would match the $40,000 EDIT contribution during the three-year commitment. Campbell said the commissioners were receptive to the proposal, which goes back to the county council for a decision at their Tuesday, May 8, meeting. In other business: •Parks Board President Jeanne Maudlin highlighted the May 24 WNIN program, “Forests at Work,” airing at 8 p.m. The program will feature trees planted in New Harmony. She presented council members with promotional items regarding New Harmony’s designation as Tree City USA for the 9th year running. She reported that 13 trees had been planted recently and provided council members with an accounting of the trees’ location and cost—all covered through a generous grant from the Blaffer Trust and earnings from the Chili Cookoff last fall. restroom. •Clerk-Treasure Karla Atkins announced that Veolia would be delivering townspeople 95-gallon waste containers on Friday, May 4, with their use required starting the week of May 11.

School Building, from Page 1A Campbell explained they have estimated it will cost approximately $89,000 per year to maintain the school and property. He approached the council during their April 10, meeting to seek $40,000 to help defray some of the costs for the town. In turn, the town would then pay the other half of the maintenance costs. The property includes the building and parking lot, along with the baseball and soccer fields and approximately 25-30 acres. Council president Bob Gentil corroborated Campbell’s claim that North Posey does not have an interest in the property as he had spoken with Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp also. Council members asked Campbell to present his idea to the commissioners in order to get their ideas or directions for a plan. Once he had done that, he could return to them for a decision during their May meeting. When Campbell presented the plan to the commissioners during their April 17, meeting he had another proponent by
his side. Posey County Economic Development Director, John Taylor, spoke highly in favor of the county coming to New Harmony’s aide. “In two to three years, the property could look a lot like some of the empty car dealerships in this town with grass growing through the concrete and broken windows not being repaired,” Taylor said. “What I see of $40,000 is not a lot of expense to enhance a community. I just don’t think you want to let it sit for four years,” he added. Campbell added his concern for the neighboring subdivision and community in general if the building is allowed to deteriorate. “The county is getting back $513,000 in EDIT funds that it didn’t know it was getting. If now isn’t the time to find $160,000, I don’t know when is,” Taylor said. The commissioners chose to take the matter under advisement and will state their opinion on their support during their regular meeting on May 1, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House.
Collections, from Page 1A the same amount that was collected from April 2011 to March 2012. Tracy Ripple feels that the billing service is more driven to collect versus any person the county can employ. This is due to the fact that the billing service is only paid a percentage of what they are able to collect. It was also pointed out that the billing service is aware of all the current medical billing processes and Medicare updates. It would be difficult to ensure that a person the county employs would possess the same knowledge or have access to the information. Ripple also pointed out that they have the option to cancel the contract with the billing service at any time. Larry Robb, Posey County’s Emergency Management Agency Director, informed the council that the county’s emergency warning system, Code Red, is up and running now. Interested Posey County residents can sign up for emergency warnings that include both weather related and city or area specific warnings. Robb explained the benefit to utilizing Code Red over another type of weather emergency alert service is that Code Red is site specific. A tornado warning intended for Mt. Vernon residents will be sent out via text message to residents in that area, rather than the entire county. The system can also be used for boil orders, police or hazmat emergencies. Robb stated residents should visit www.poseycountygov.org and click on the Code Red button. He advised to uncheck the box next to “flash floods” since that type of alert is not for our intended area. Robb also explained that residents who do not have computer access can contact his office at 838-1333, provide their contact information and he will ensure they are signed up on the system. Sabrina Harms informed council members that as of July 1, the state is changing the 911 fee schedules for landline and wireless phones. Currently, 911 collects $.50 for wireless and $1.85 for landline phones. After July 1, the fees for both will change to $.90 each. To justify the loss in funds for the landline

fees, the state devised a plan to add the past three year’s average. The state then guarantees that amount to be disbursed to the county. According to Posey County Auditor, Nick Wildeman, the county can expect to receive $370,858. However, a total of $407,725 was budgeted created a $36,867 shortfall that the county must now fund. Every county throughout the state is facing a budget shortfall in 911 funding. Wildeman advised the state is taking the remainder of the 911 wireless funds. It will not be shared with the counties. It is one of the many ways in which the state has devised a way not to increase taxes, but has still managed to take money away. Harms also advised the county that its radio equipment will need to be updated by the end of the year. The FCC is requiring a comprehensive move to narrow banding of radio frequencies. Posey County’s radios and consoles are outdated and cannot be upgraded. They will need to be replaced with digital technology. However, the good news is that once the purchase has been made, it will not need to be replaced again in the near future. Wildeman brought it to the council’s attention that a fund exists in which they could possibly borrow money from. When congressional school township lands were sold, the money was placed in a fund that could never be depleted. It can be loaned, but must be repaid. Currently, there is $44,555.22 in this account which earns approximately .02% in interest. The interest is divided among the school districts each year. Wildeman said that some county auditors are transferring the bookkeeping duties for this fund to the state. This move then disallows any chance of borrowing from the fund at the county level. Council members decided to keep this funds’ maintenance and bookkeeping at the county level in case the need to borrow from it ever arises. • Reinstated the plat book secretary’s salary to the budget that was inadvertently omitted during budget time.

Historic New Harmony Happenings By Missy Parkinson Summer is a busy time in New Harmony, and, as usual, there will be plenty of new faces in town. Here is information about two USI faculty projects that will be going on. • Dr. Michael Strezewski, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Southern Indiana, will conduct another archaeological field school May 9 through June 8, 2012, in New Harmony. Dr. Strezewski and his students will continue the excavation of the Harmonist kiln site, located at the corner of North and West streets, where Harmonist potter Christoph Weber manufactured redware pottery from 1815 to 1824. • This year Dr. Strezewski and his students will focus on exposing more of the kiln itself and exploring some deposits of discarded shards. About a dozen students will be working at the site, which will be open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except Memorial Day. An open house is planned for Saturday, May 19. • Dr. Eric McCloud, associate professor
of biology at the University of Southern Indiana, has begun work on his project, “Development of a Modern Collection of Thomas Says’ Insects at New Harmony.” Dr. McCloud and two undergraduate student research assistants are preparing to begin the process of collecting specimens in the New Harmony area. This collection will take place over the next year. The home base for Dr. McCloud and his students will be the Beal House on Church Street. They welcome discussion with residents and visitors while they are at work in the field or in their “lab.” This project is supported by the New Harmony Outreach and Engagement Fund. Please let us know if you have any questions about these faculty projects. You can contact Historic New Harmony at 812/6824488 or harmony@usi.edu.

Food Drive critical for Posey County Annual Letter Carrier’s event is county’s largest The National Association of Letter Carriers’ Food Drive will be on Saturday, May 12, 2012. Your Postal Service letter carrier is asking everyone to place non-perishable food items by their mailbox on this day, for pickup by their letter carrier as they make their appointed rounds. All of the canned goods and other food items collected by the Mount Vernon city and rural carriers during this food drive will stay in Mount Vernon, to help families in need in our community. The Mount Vernon postal employees and their family members and local volunteers including volunteers with the United Way of Posey County will be helping to collect the donated food. United Way of Posey County volunteers are also working with the Post Office in New Harmony to have a food collection box at the New Harmony Post Office May 7 to May 12 for everyone in the New Harmony area to be able to participate. Local postal employees are asking everyone to help stamp out hunger May 12th for those less fortunate in our communities. If you live on a rural route, or a mounted section of a city route, you can leave your donation of canned goods and other nonperishable foods hanging on your mailbox out on the street early on Saturday. If your letter carrier walks by your house each day,
simply leave your food donation by or on your mailbox early on Saturday. Your letter carrier and local volunteers will gladly pick up your donation. Please do not include items that have expired or those in glass containers. If it is more convenient, you can also drop off your non-perishable food donation at the collection sites at McKim’s IGA, Wesselman’s or CVS the week before May 12th, thanks to the help of Larry Williams, McKim’s IGA manager; Jim Grove, Wesselman’s manager; and Brian Brown, manager at CVS. The food collected in the letter carrier sponsored food drive provided a muchneeded supply at a time of year when food bank supplies tend to be low. This is the 20th Annual Letter Carriers Food Drive and postal employees ask for your donation of non-perishable food items to make this the best drive yet. John Hurd, Mount Vernon postmaster, with the assistance of Don Stratton, city carrier in Mount Vernon, will be working on the food drive in Mount Vernon. John Hurd said “This is a great program that has been going on for years and we’d like to thank everyone for their help – especially in these economic times.” Everyone is urged to help with our local food drives and help local individuals and families in need.

Savings sought for Hovey House utilities By Valerie Werkmeister They just don’t build them like they used to. In the case of the Hovey House, that’s ok as a recent energy efficiency audit reveals the aging building is in dire need of insulation. Posey County Commissioners recently authorized their approval for building commissioner, Ed Battieger, to seek an energy efficiency audit. They were preparing to purchase new windows for the Hovey House thinking this would help with the air drafts and cold room temperatures in the winter. They had received a $155,000 quote from Pella Windows to match the windows that are currently in place. It’s a good thing they decided to wait on those windows. The audit revealed the windows were not the culprits in air drafts or an energy loss. It turns out the lack of insulation in the ceiling and second floor offices are largely to blame. Also, the doors cause a lot of energy loss. However, the commissioners had already approved an $8, 430 bid from Danco in March to replace the door with a matching one. Battieger stated that once the proper insulation is installed in the building, they can address the problems with the heating and cooling. The insulation will help reduce the number of units that may be necessary. The commissioners agreed with the audit’s findings and asked Battieger to obtain quotes on insulating the building. They added they would like to ensure the basement and crawl space is properly insulated as well. In other business, the commissioners: •Approved an $181,000
per year reassessment contract bid from Nexus Group. The contract will run from 2013-2015. •Signed a refuse operating permit for Tri State Disposal, Veolia, Larry Marshall, Allied Waste and Springfield Environmental. •Signed a signature page that required an update for the comprehensive emergency management plan required by the state. •Heard a report from the county’s emergency management director, Larry Robb, that a new storage unit had recently been placed by the Poseyville Police Department to house county supplies that might be needed in an emergency. •Discussed they have
not heard from the City of Mount Vernon regarding the tax sale certificate assignment. They tabled the action until their next meeting. •Heard a request from promoters of a 5k run in St. Wendel. Commissioners gave approval for the entity to use county road barricades if necessary as long as they are picked up and dropped off during county highway business hours. •Noted that volunteers are still needed to fill positions on the Wadesville Blairsville Regional Sewer District Board and the Workforce Investment Board. The next regular meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 1, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House.

NH Kiwanis to hold fundraiser on May 9 Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. The deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.
To eliminate MNT from the earth, more than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, and thousands of skilled staff. We can improve and possibly save a life for only $1.80 to support the dedicated work of UNICEF. The New Harmony Kiwanis is serving a spaghetti
dinner at the Catholic Community Center and all proceeds will go towards saving these lives. You will not only have all you can eat but also have the satisfaction of knowing you will save a life or two. Wednesday May 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Catholic Community Center. Adults $10, students $5, and under 6 are free. Tickets available at the door.

SCHOOL Legislation extends NHS employee benefits By Pam Robinson Employees of New Harmony School, or NHS, closing on May 22, 2012, were advised their state-provided healthcare insurance would end on June 30, 2012. Current retirees were expecting to pay $1,100 more a month to continue healthcare coverage. At the same time, employees hired by North Posey were told their premiums would go up even more than $1,100 a month. New Harmony School Superintendent Fran Thoele approached Posey County legislators to make a difference in improving the quality of life for these educators. With the help of their colleagues, Indiana Senator Jim Tomes and Indiana Representative Wendy McNamara proposed House Bill 1192, signed by Governor Mitch Daniels on March 19, 2012. The bill allows NHS’s current retirees and active employees moving to North Posey to remain covered by the state-provided health insurance plan. “After being contacted by school superintendent Fran Thoele concerning the New Harmony teacher’s health plan and how it would be affected by the consolidation [with North Posey],” Sen. Tomes commented, “I met with Sen. Luke Kenley to discuss this situation. Sen. Kenley agreed that the
teachers should be able to stay on their current health plan and that language was included in House Bill 1192. I was happy to work with Sen. Kenley in getting satisfactory results.” Likewise, Representative McNamara worked to help NHS personnel. “The Superintendent of New Harmony Schools came to me this year expressing concerns about the healthcare of retired employees and current employees being dissolved when the schools closed. Upon hearing these concerns, I looked into the matter during the 2012 legislative session. House Enrolled Act 1192 addressed issues similar to this, but I, like Supt. Thoele, wanted to ensure that these retired and current employees would be able to maintain their healthcare," said Rep. McNamara. "I made sure that the bill allowed for the continued maintenance of healthcare for these employees through the state healthcare program.” Superintendent Thoele expressed her thanks for this legislative action: “I truly appreciate Sen. Tomes and Rep. McNamara working on this,” she stated. “It is going to save New Harmony retirees and employees money on health insurance.”

Poseyville Dollar General earns national corporate recognition
With plaque in hand, Poseyville Dollar General manager Donella Hunter celebrates the store’s accomplishments with employees. By Dave Pearce Shoppers at the Poseyville Dollar General Store have really done it this time. Store Manager Donella Hunter and her staff were recognized this week for the first time ever for surpassing the $2 million mark in gross sales for the year. There are now 10,000 Dollar General Stores in America and the majority of them are larger in size and in towns with more population than the one in Posey County. For the store manager, that makes the award even sweeter. But with success comes a price. The store began staying open until 10 p.m. just this week and while it seems to have been slow the first week, she believes as soon as customers realize that they can come in up until 10 p.m., business in that final hour will pick up. “Mount Vernon hit it a long time ago but they have a lot larger store and a lot more people to draw from,� she said. “We did it with just two registers open while they have as many as six registers going sometimes.� So why was the Poseyville store able to accomplish such a feat. “It’s just a matter of local people wanting to shop locally,� she said, bragging on her town and her store’s loyal
customers. “The draw to the Dollar Store is the location and the prices.� “This is not about me or us but is about what the people who shop here have helped us accomplish this year,� said Hunter, as she proudly displayed the Dollar General Store’s $2 million plaque. “The customers that come in here are my family. Very few of them realize what they have done for me as a person. It is a lot of long hours and it is a lot of hard work and no matter how hard I try, I can’t always make everybody happy. But I do the best that I can and that seems to be good enough for most of our customers.� She started with Dollar General 16 years ago when the store opened in Poseyville. Being here from the very beginning gave her a le up when corporate was looking for a permanent store manager. Hunter accepted the position and has been the only Dollar General manger in Poseyville. “I started out with an empty building here. But even though we are a local store and we have local people here, I am not always the one who has the final say in what goes on here at the store,� she said with a smile. “As far as donations are concerned and ads that can and can’t be put up in the store, I have to adhere to the company rules.� But the Stewartsville resident admits that there have been times when she has donated to local causes and while Dollar General might get the credit, the donation actually was a personal donation. But she feels as if that is fair, considering what the company has done for her and what the community does for her store. “I have lost a lot of good customers down through the years,� she said, staring off into space. “Some have passed away and some have moved away. I have shared tears with them and I have laughed with them.� But the customers are not the only thing that has changed down through the years. The original store was just over 3,800 square feet and has grown to 8,000 square feet. With the extra space brings more product and with more product brings more time to get the merchandise on the shelves, She continues to look for creative ways to make the most of the space she has in the store. Despite the presence of a devoted grocery store in Poseyville, Hunter says her best-selling items are food
items. She attributes that to longer hours and availability of items that are not carried by the grocery store just down the street.. “Our suppliers come in about the same time the same day of every week,â€? she explained. “We have a system down and we work very well with all of them. Out big truck comes in on Wednesday morning and that’s our big day to get everything out on the shelves. We like to hear customer requests and if it is Dollar General-approved we will try and get it in here for them.â€? She attributes some of her business to the “oh mom, I forgot but I need‌â€? customers who realize at the last minute that they have to have something and this is the only local place to get it. Several North Posey High School students got their first job at the local Dollar Store and some have gone on to careers in nursing or have pursued other professional careers. “I would never do anything to hold them back, although I would take most of them back in a heartbeat,â€? Hunter says. “But I think that everyone should have to work with the public for a year or so before they head out into the ‘real’ world. Then they would realize what it is like to be the person standing on the other side of that counter. There would be more respect there.â€? But while the people of the area are the ones she feels deserves the credit for this particular honor, she believes that all her employees and customers deserve the respect she gives them. “I try to treat all of them the way I would want to be treated,â€? she said with a smile. “I don’t want to disrespect them or berate them because we all learn something new every day. I had a wonderful lady who helped me and gave me the vote of confidence I needed to do this job. She is still in the business and I could pick up the phone and call her right now with any problem and she would be there for me. Because of that, I am trying to pass that along to the people I come into contact with.â€? She also gives credit to her husband, Charles, for his support and for standing behind her even though things haven’t always been rosy at the store. He has always had faith in her and is her biggest cheerleader.
New Harmony Garden Club beautifies park On April 23, the Garden Club of New Harmony kicked-off its beautification project at Redbud Park in the center of New Harmony. The Garden Club will remake the park as its contribution to the 2014 New Harmony Bicentennial observance. During the Harmonist period, the Redbud Park location was the site of Harmonist Dormitory No. 3. The Garden Club’s beautification project will be done in three phases: Phase One – Remove 13 aged/diseased Eastern Redbud trees and replant with three varieties of Redbuds: Eastern, Forest Pansy and Twisted Weeping; Phase Two – Add park benches and flowering plants; and Phase Three – Add a centrally located BicentenJim Brown operates his tree stump grinder in New Harmony’s Red Bud Park as part nial commemorative feature. of the Garden Club’s beautification project. Photo submitted The tree removal occurred on Monday, April
23, and new trees will be planted in the fall of 2012. The plan is to have the benches and flowers in place by spring of 2013. The Garden Club is considering an interactive sculpture as the Bicentennial commemorative feature. The goal is to have this last phase complete by early 2014. Redbud Park currently is used for the annual Kunstfest (German Festival) in September. The park receives very little use the remainder of the year. Club members hope the park will attract more activity once it has been reworked. The project is a cooperative effort of the Garden Club of New Harmony, Historic New Harmony, and the Town of New Harmony. Historic New Harmony is a unified program of the University of Southern Indiana and the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites.
Lawrence seeks city funding help for subdivision expansion By Pam Robinson When the Mount Vernon City Council met as the Water Utility Board, Monday, April 23, board members entertained a request from Mount Vernon developer Charlie Lawrence to help with expenses in preparing a subdivision north of Country Club Estates. Lawrence said he has purchased 20 acres of new land in that area and brought a blueprint showing three streets and lots for building around 20 new homes. Lawrence attended the water utility board meeting to discuss his needs for water mains and sewer. Lawrence added his timeline for the project is this year. Lawrence is requesting the City of Mount Vernon incur the expense for the water main on the first of the three streets in the proposed subdivision. At the recommendation of Water Chairman Bill Curtis, Lawrence is meeting with City Water Superintendent Chuck Gray and City Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Givens to review his plans and to see the property. Subsequently, Lawrence will return with a funding figure for the board to consider. Water Superintendent Gray stated the water pressure is good in the area under consideration. In other business: • Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker has announced the City of Mount Vernon has received its share of the $206 million recently found by the state of Indiana. In closing comments for the Mount Vernon City Council meeting, Tucker said the city received a total of $204,164.15. Of that money, $93,285.89 was placed in the county optional income tax, or COIT, budget and $110,878.26, in the economic development income tax, or EDIT, budget. • Council directed City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins to draw up an ordinance for vote to change the Water Utility Board and city council meetings to every other Thursday at 7 p.m. to follow the 4 p.m. Board of Works meetings. The ordinance will also specify no meeting of the Water Utility Board and council
on months with an extra week, keeping those meetings to 24 per year although Board of Works meets 26 times per year. • Council directed City Attorney Higgins to present sample ordinances from other cities regarding safety regulations for wheelchairs and scooters used as transportation. • Mindy Bourne from the Area Plan Commission appeared before council to recommend the rezoning of 121 Vista Drive from O, office, to RS, residential. Formerly known as Tygart Funeral Home, the property has been purchased by Tom Pace for use as a residence. Bourne stated the Area Plan Commission had approved the rezoning with a roll call vote of 7-0. Council approved first reading of the ordinance allowing the rezoning. In two weeks, council will hear any comments about the rezoning and entertain second reading. • When meeting as the Water Utility Board, council heard Mayor Tucker report on the bond sale for the current Phase 3 of water works improvement. He said a very good rating had been received on the bonds. City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins added that Standard & Poor was extremely happy. She said a B+ rating would have made everyone happy, so the higher rating made everyone very happy. Water Chairman Bill Curtis agreed the rating was great and the [interest] rate was very good. • When meeting as the Water Utility Board, council heard a report from Water Superintendent Chuck Gray. He stated the survey crew has a barge on the way and two posts will be driven into the ground to get core samples. The samples will determine when a permit is issued, and it looks as if it will be no later than August 1. Currently, he added, a permit is in place with the Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, Gray reported that the clear well had been taken down, pressure washed and drained and was expected back in service on Tuesday, April 24. Recalling the fluoride issue in 2005, Gray said a lot of fluoride had built up in the tank, and it was all washed out. • Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Givens reported that
United Way introduces Bank on Posey program 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 is being 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 educa-

the city is now waiting for county officials to sign off on plans for removing the sewer line from the bridge on Old Highway 62. After council discussion, City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins stated she would ask for a place on the County Commissioners’ agenda. She advised Superintendent Givens that he could put bid packets together to send out after the city gets county approval. • Council tabled a request by Councilwoman Becky Higgins to place a 3-way stop at Water and Locust until further data is collected for decision-making. • After reviewing parking on the north side of 3rd Street between Main and Walnut, council has directed City Attorney Higgins to draw up an ordinance that will change the three angled slots (between the drive at the courthouse) into two parallel parking slots and that will eliminated the first angled slot coming out of the courthouse parking lot to the west. • Councilman Curtis reported that City Street Commissioner Roy Maynard is reviewing the standard operating procedures for tree removal. • An inconclusive discussion was held regarding parking for boaters. • Councilmen Steve Fuelling and Bill Curtis agreed the city needs to look at the problem with stray cats. • Councilwoman Higgins reported she still believes a doggy station needs to go in at the riverfront. The Mount Vernon City Council will meet again Monday, May 14, 2012, 7 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.
Denning to attend Campaign School Johnna Denning, a member of Posey County Young Professionals, has been chosen to attend the Women's Campaign School at Yale University. The Women's Campaign School at Yale University is a non-partisan, issue neutral leadership program, whose mission is to increase the number and influence of women in elected and appointed office in the United States and around the globe. Their mission is to provide the very best training in the world for women who want to run for office or who want to
move up the ladder to higher elective office. The program trains women to run political campaigns and advance their careers in public service. The program also values leaders who are capable of building relationships regardless of political point-of-view. Denning will be attending their program in June. She is the founder of the Posey County Young Professionals, an organization that seeks to foster an atmosphere to attract and retain young professionals in Posey County.
Deadline nearing for Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award applications The deadline for submitting applications for the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award is rapidly nearing. The Award, in the amount of $500, is given annually to a high school junior who resides in Posey County and who is involved in community activities in Posey County. Applications must be postmarked no later than May 4, 2012, for consideration. The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was created in September 2007 in honor of Elizabeth D. Baier’s 25th Anniversary as Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County. Michelle Hudson, chairperson of the committee charged with the task of selecting an Award recipient, said “ The United Way of Posey
County wanted to recognize Elizabeth for her service to the United Way, but we also wanted to honor her for her many years of leadership, community involvement, and volunteer services to Posey County. An award recognizing exemplary volunteerism by young people had been a dream of Elizabeth’s for many years, so the creation of the Youth Spirit Award in her name seemed to be the perfect way to honor her.� Funding for the Award was obtained entirely through private donations. An applicant for the Award must be a Posey County resident but may attend high school in Posey, Gibson, or Vanderburgh Counties or may be home schooled. Applicants for this year’s Award
must currently be in their junior year in high school and a member of the graduating class of 2013. The award is not based upon scholarship, but applicants must have exhibited outstanding leadership, volunteerism, and community involvement. Two or three letters of recommendation must accompany the application. The Award recipient will be notified no later than June 15, 2012. An organization may nominate a student for the Award and provide supporting letters, but the nominated student must complete the application. The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was given for the first time in 2009 and was awarded to Abbigail Mayer, a student at North
Posey Senior High School. The 2010 recipient was Johnathan Bradford, a student at Mount Vernon Senior High School, and last year’s recipient was Jillian Koester, a student at North Posey Senior High School. The Award for 2012 will be presented at the United Way of Posey County Leadership Giving Dinner in August. Applications for the Award have been mailed to schools, churches, clubs and civic organizations. Any student wishing to apply for the Award may also obtain an application at the office of the United Way of Posey County, 128 West Third Street, Mount Vernon, Indiana.

OPINION
Newer house means few changes, but could help golf game I really have no idea why my wife stays with me. For those of you who have followed my columns over time, you know that I am relentless on giving my wife so much grief about everything that goes on around our house. As most of you know, we TRUTH... have made a big move over STRANGER the past few days. We moved THAN from an older home on FICTION South Cale Street to a newer BY DAVE home on North Church in PEARCE Poseyville. Rationale would tell you that there would be fewer problems with a new home than an older one. But rationale is not always correct. On morning this past week, after a late night, I woke up to my wife’s squeals as she was preparing for work. I jumped up to see what was the matter and found out that the commode had overflowed. To make a long story short, when plumbing and pipes have not been used in some time, it is sometimes tough to get them back on a regular routine. Or as one of our dear friends described the situation, “someone nears more fiber in their
diet.” And that’s all I am going to say about that. When we have problems with the house, it seems like it is always centered around the plumbing. One other morning last week, we came to the startling realization that you cannot hang five gallons of shampoo and three quarts of conditioner on an “over the plastic shower head pipe” wire holder and expect it to hold it indefinitely. We found out pretty quickly that the length of time it will actually hold it is definitely finite. It all came crashing down and water (again) went everywhere. Otherwise, things are going pretty well in the house on the north end of town. The neighborhood is great, the neighbors are friendly, and the weather has allowed me a few minutes to enjoy the outside this week.. On day last week, I even found time to get in what seems to have become my “annual” golf game with my son, Eric. Hopefully, this year, we are going to try and make
‘Calling All Dawns’ brings city culture to small town On Sunday, May 6, 2 p.m., a cast of around 130 will bring our community a special musical program at the Performing Arts Center, Mount Vernon High School, LIVING or MVHS. The performance FOR THE will feature the Evansville JOURNEY Philharmonic Orchestra, the BY PAM Evansville Philharmonic ROBINSON Youth Orchestra, the MVHS Fine Arts Academy Choirs and the MVHS Percussion Ensemble—all led by Maestro Alfred Savia. In addition, the MVHS visual art students have prepared art to illustrate the music. All these groups will combine their talents to present “Calling All Dawns,” a Grammy-award winning debut album, composed by Christopher Tin. Indeed, composer Christopher Tin will arrive here in Mount Vernon tomorrow to rehearse with all performers over the next few days before appearing at the program on Sunday. The City of Mount Vernon has designated Friday, May 4, 2012, as Christopher Tin Day in Tin’s honor. “This is exactly what Mount Vernon needs,” comments MVHS Vocal Music Director Dana Taylor. “We don’t readily see such a performance in every community, especially a community this size.” Taylor extends a warm welcome to the
community for the performance of “Calling All Dawns.” Tickets are only $8 each and may be purchased in advance at the main office of the high school or at the door, if seating remains, on Sunday. In addition, tickets may be purchased in Mount Vernon at the Chamber of Commerce, United Fidelity Bank and Old National Bank and in Cynthiana at CSB Bank. “Calling All Dawns” is a song cycle in three movements: day, night and dawn. Each movement corresponds to a different phase of life—life, death and rebirth— and how several different world religions respond to those phases. The song cycle presents five songs about life, three about death and four about rebirth. For those hooked on pop, Taylor promises them this classical music will still appeal to their taste. “A lot of the music is fun,” he says. “Some of it is thoughtful. It’s all very lively and a little over-the-top. It’s rhythmic and appeals to the younger generation. It definitely appeals to our kids.” If anyone wants to enjoy something out of the ordinary in Mount Vernon, Taylor says, the Sunday afternoon performance of “Calling All Dawns” will deliver that extraordinary experience.
it more frequent. But upon completion of my golf game, I came home to find an email from my old buddy Dennis Webb. It contained a lot of information I could have used earlier in the week. I was totally unaware of most of the changes that have recently been made in golf but I just want everyone to know that I fully support the new rules for seniors and I plan to abide by each and every one of them. They are as follows: Rule 1.a.5 A ball sliced or hooked into the rough shall be lifted and placed on the fairway at a point equal to the distance it carried or rolled into the rough with no penalty. The senior should not be penalized for tall grass which groundkeepers failed to mow. Rule 2.d.6 (B) A ball hitting a tree shall be deemed not to have hit the tree. This is simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game. The senior player must estimate the distance the ball would have traveled if it had not hit the tree and play the ball from there. Rule 3.B.3 (G) There shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The missing ball is on or near the course and will eventually be found and pocketed by someone else, making it a stolen ball. The player is not to compound the felony by charging himself or herself with a penalty.
Guest Column by State Rep Wendy McNamara
In a few weeks, the final bell will sound signaling the end of another school year with our kids setting their sights on summer activities. They relish the reprieve from the rigors of learning and enjoy time spent outdoors. While summer is a wonderful time, as an educator, I worry that students will have “brain drain” from not keeping their minds actively engaged. According to study by John Hopkins University’s School of Education almost all school-age children experience annual academic slide to some degree upon returning from summer vacation. To combat this, students must continue to engage in brain stimulating activates during the summer months. Southern Indiana has a multitude of summer programs and camps designed to keep students engaged and having fun at the same time. The University of Southern Indiana (USI) offers Super Summer Enrichment weeks. The program consists of two one-week sessions, held June 11-15 at USI and July 16-20 on Evansville’s east side. Children from preschool to 9th grade can enroll in morning, afternoon or all day classes. In years past, classes have focused on art, science, forensics, The Appellate Court Judges who heard the Oral Argument on Law Day.

Rule 4.c.7 (h) If a putt passes over a hole without dropping, it is deemed to have dropped. The Law of Gravity supersedes the Rules of Golf. Rule 5 Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than three inches from the hole. No one wants to make a travesty of the game. Rule 6.a.9 (k) There is no penalty for so-called “out of bounds.” If penny-pinching golf course owners bought sufficient land, this would not occur. The senior golfer deserves an apology, not a penalty. Rule 7..G.15 (z) There is no penalty for a ball in a water hazard, as golf balls should float. Senior golfers should not be penalized for manufacturers’ shortcomings. Rule 8.k.9 (S) Advertisements claim that golf scores can be improved by purchasing new golf equipment. Since this is financially impractical for many senior golfers, one-half stroke per hole may be subtracted for using old equipment. Please advise all your senior friends of these important rule changes. They are written well enough that most of you should be able to read them!

for elementary students who need additional academic help. The morning is educational programming, and the afternoon programing is in conjunction with the Evansville Parks & Recreation Department. During this time, students will participate in traditional summer activities with some special adventures too. For more information, contact your child’s local school. Exploring 4-H is an enriching program tailored to K-2 students that promotes hands-on learning. This is a year-round program and is free of charge to all Posey County students. For more information contact Cheven May, Posey County 4-H Youth Educator at 812838-1331. The University of Evansville has a residential summer camp for high school and middle school girls to explore careers in engineering and computer science through interactive projects and fun activities. The camp exposes girls to the many facets of science and engineering. Space is limited, so it is better to apply early. For more information, call Tina Newman at (812)488-2651 or email at tn2@evansville. edu. This is just a couple of the summer camps and programs available in our community. The Mesker Park Zoo has a great summer camp as well as Burdette Park and the Children's Museum of Evansville. Keeping students engaged and learning during the summer months will ensure that they return to school in the fall ready and able to learn new material.

love throughout my working career. Seeing the many smiles and successes of both the students and staff has made each school day and year special and meaningful. While I will miss the exemplary staff and the wonderful students and families of MVJHS, I am please that Kyle Jones will be taking over as principal as he brings enthusiasm and an understanding of the needs of the middle level child. I am confident that he and his staff will continue the good work that has been accomplished and continue to chart a positive course for the future, taking what has always been our fundamental belief that all students can learn, and bringing Mount Vernon Junior High School even further forward in excellence. I know I am leaving the school in very capable hands. I would be remiss if I did not say “thanks” to my wife, Cheryl, and children, Kristen and Kyle, as they have always lovingly supported me and offered encouragement throughout the long days of this remarkable and wonderful ride. They truly are so special in my heart. Again, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your children’s middle school years. It has been my honor to be a mentor and to serve as their principal.

Wildcats turn on offense, whip Mater Dei, Washington By Steve Joos One couldn’t complain about how the Mount Vernon baseball team hit the ball early last week when Mater Dei came calling. Especially in the first inning. The home team struck for eight runs in the first inning, banged out nine hits and basically showed Mater Dei why they received votes in the previous week’s Class 3A State rankings with a 12-3 win. “We came out swinging the sticks,” Coach Paul Quinzer said. “We put up eight runs in the first inning, Ross Canada put up a nice ball game, threw six innings. You’ve got to kind of like that.” River VanZant led off the Mount Vernon first with a single and after that, the flood gates opened. Jevin Redman singled, Craig Beeson drove in two runs with a single and just about everyone hit the ball, the coach added. Mount Vernon also took advantage of some wildness on the part of Mater Dei’s starting pitcher, who walked three and hit a batter in the bottom of the first. Mater Dei came right back in the top of the second with two runs of their own and added another in the third before Mount Vernon opened up some more room in the bottom of that frame. With one out, consecutive singles by VanZant, Redman, Troy Paris, Clay Ford and Aaron Roberts led to three runs and an 11-3 Mount Vernon advantage. Mount Vernon nearly polished off Mater
Dei in six innings under the 10-run rule, but that was nipped when Roberts was thrown out trying to score on Trevor Vieck’s fly ball to right field. Ford and Roberts had opened the sixth with singles and Ford crossed the plate on a grounder by Drake McNamara. Hank Dausmann was given an intentional walk and Seth Reeves was hit by a pitch ahead the double play. Paris, Ford and Roberts each had two hits, with Ford collecting a double, backing up the pitching of Canada, who scattered eight hits before giving way to Vieck in the seventh inning. On Wednesday night, the Cats needed a seventh-inning rally to nip another visiting Evansville school. This time it was North, and Roberts lashed a two-out single to center, scoring Redman with the winning run in a 4-3 walk off victory over the Huskies. After Dausmann got off to a shaky start, yielding three runs in the top of the first inning, Mount Vernon all but answered North starter Cameron Davis with two runs in the bottom of the second. That score held until the Cats knotted things up at 3-3 in the bottom of the fifth, but they couldn’t get anything across the plate until the final inning. Redman and Paris each walked with one out in the bottom of the seventh, but Ford flew out to shallow left field. A ball moved up the runners before Roberts delivered the

Vikings take three of four in busy spring baseball week By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings enjoyed a good week of baseball. It appeared that they had most of their cylinders clicking. They got wins over Gibson Southern, Tecumseh, and Mount Carmel earlier in the week. And then there was Saturday. “I don’t think we have had a game all year like this where I felt like we simply did not come out and compete,” North Posey Viking Coach Kevin Smith said, following a lop-sided 10-3 loss to Pocket Athletic Conference foe Tell City on Saturday. “They jumped on us with four runs in the first inning and even though we hung around until it was 5-2, they had a five-run sixth inning and put us away. We just never were really in the game this week.” But it was like the Marksmen had been waiting to unload on someone and they chose the Vikings. “We just ran into a buzzsaw,” Smith said. “They played very well. They had 10 runs on 10 hits and they played well defensively, too. Their pitcher did a nice job around the plate. That game was simply controlled by Tell City. They just did a nice job.” Kyle Voegel started for the Vikings against Tell City and Viking pitching walked five and three of the five scored. In the first inning, we made a one-out error on what could have been a double play and then they had a double and a home run and jumped out 4-0. But the Viking skipper acknowledged that up until SaturNorth Posey senior and lead-off batter Austin Bender gets around the Mount Carmel catcher who is attempting
to block the plate and then slides in for the score during Friday’s 12-6 win over the Golden Aces. Photo by Dave Pearce

Lady Wildcats leave an opening, Bosse takes the edge in Invite By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ track team was competitive for most of the day at Saturday’s invitational meet, but “Bulldog Nation” pulled away at the end. The Lady Wildcats dueled with Bosse for most of the day, but once the Lady Bulldogs got a lead, they never looked back, beating the host Lady Cats 103-89 for the title. North Posey turned in its strong level of personal improvement while finishing fifth with 49 points. The Lady Vikings were just four points behind fourth-place Memorial (53), but they were nine in front of sixthplace Mater Dei (40) in a meet where just about everybody settled into one place and stayed there as Mount Vernon finished 20 points in front of third place Gibson Southern (63). Freshman Toni Waddell won the 1,600-meters with a time of 5:38.81, Ellen Foster took the high jump with a five-foot, one-inch leap
and the 3,200-meter relay team won their race in 11:02.06, as Montana Eaton, Megan Randall and Lauren Stemple joined Waddell to win that race. The Lady Cats went back and forth with Bosse for most of the meet, leading by eight points after eight events, but the Lady Bulldogs took over after 10 events and never looked back. So even with that, Mount Vernon coach Jackie Maier had to be pleased with the performance, if not the outcome, right? “We’re making progress,” Maier said. “We had some real good runs and we had some kids that looked a little tired. Overall, I was pleased. The positives outweighed the negatives.” The Lady Cats worked hard in practice prior to Saturday and hadn’t tapered off in preparation for the team’s major meets, Mai-

Posey County schools take back seat in Mount Vernon Invite By Steve Joos Jon Hoehn had a good night Friday. The Mount Vernon senior won the 400-meter dash at the Wildcats’ invitational boys’ track meet, posting a time of :51.40, but that was just about the only highlight of the night for the Posey County cinder teams. The Wildcats edged South Spencer 48-47 for fifth place in the eight-team meet, while North Posey scored two points and came in
well behind Tell City (32). It was Mount Vernon’s invitational, but it was more like Castle’s, as the Knights dominated the meet, winning with 136 points. Gibson Southern was a distant second with 97, followed by Mater Dei (70) and Memorial (61). The competition in general and the Castle Knights in particular made the Mount Vernon invite a lot tougher than the Princeton

Invitational earlier in the week, according to Wildcats’ coach Steve Brenton. “Castle or Harrison are going to be the toughest teams south of Indianapolis,” Brenton said. “Castle beat them (Harrison) by 20 points this year in a dual meet, so they’re tough. Gibson Southern is tough this year, Memorial, Mater Dei, Tell City, South Spencer--it was good competition tonight.” Mount Vernon’s highlights started with Hoehn, who was pushed throughout the race by South Spencer’s Caleb Epley, who nipped at Hoehn heels, but had to settle for second as the Wildcat sprinter registered a personal best to take the race. While Hoehn had the blue ribbon, a number of his teammates also turned in good performances. Isaac Redman had a 20-foot long jump,
while fellow freshman Charlie Schneider ran a pair of good 200-meter dash heats and took second in that race. First-year sophomore Austin Guthrie registered a :16.58 and finished second in the 110-hurdles. “We had a lot of good things tonight,” Brenton said. “A lot of good things.” There weren’t any other blue ribbon winners other than Hoehn for either the Cats or Vikings, but the competition may have had something to do with that. Fatigue after running in the Princeton invite on Wednesday may have led to some tired legs for the Cats and that may have contributed to a good performance, but not the best, according to Brenton. Sage Irons ran a 4:46 in the 1,600-me-

Beth Pace sets the pace for helping those in need Mount Vernon native Beth Pace just doesn’t let up helping those in need. From her day job to her volunteer work to her reading preferences, Pace reaches out to her less fortunate neighbors. As Customer Outreach Representative for Vectren, she works in the low-income program area. She works with the people who help customers pay their utility bills—for example, kind-hearted philanthropists, churches, Community Action Program of Evansville (or CAPE), Black Township Trustees in Mount Vernon, St.Vincent DePaul, Community Emergency Assistance Board in Mount Vernon, and the list goes on across Vanderburgh and Posey counties and 72 more counties receiving utility assistance. Since she just can’t waste a 40 percent off coupon from Joann’s Fabrics, Pace crochets in winter. Last year, she alone crocheted 65 scarves and donated them to the community-wide charitable Christmas program overseen by Trinity United Church of Christ in Mount Vernon. The scarves, suitable for men, women and children, were delivered to families along with their Christmas baskets. Summers allow Pace to dig into her beloved gardening. A friend supplies the land, and Pace and her husband supplies the labor. She is especially fond of tomatoes to make her famous salsa. She sells the salsa for $5 a jar, donating everything after expenses to the Mount Vernon Homeless Shelter, for which she has served on the board since 2008 and is current treasurer. Otherwise, she divides her garden produce with family, friends and co-workers. Anything left over is delivered to the Mount Vernon Food Pantry to share with clients.
When Pace isn’t actively caring for those in need, she’s actively contemplating it. She chooses books on poverty and homeless prevention. Small wonder, she has been accepted at the University of Evansville to work toward her master’s degree in public service administration, beginning in August. She says her therapy is hanging out with her neighbors in Park Ridge, fellow graduates of Mount Vernon High School, or MVHS. In the summer, they all migrate from backyard to backyard for food and fun. Any one of them might say, “Mi casa es su casa,” without exaggeration. “We’re always there for each other,” Pace says. Beth and her husband Chris will celebrate 24 years of marriage in September. Chris enjoys fishing and handling all repairs at the Mount Vernon Homeless Shelter. The Paces are blessed with three children, all teens now: 19-year-old Logan and 16-year-old twins Katelyn and Cortland. Logan participated in football and track all four years at MVHS and was named AllConference in his senior year. Cortland loves to hunt and fish and to pamper his new ’85 Camaro. Mom describes Katelyn as her “social butterfly.” Guard dog Millie protects the whole family.
Pace feels blessed also that her parents and two sisters live nearby in Posey County. She is grateful her 94-year-old grandmother Margaret is still living, making her residence in neighboring Vanderburgh County.

Mount Vernon Invite, from Page B1 which wasn’t bad for his second time running the mile, Brenton said, while Sean Ritzert bettered his time in the 3,200 by 20 seconds. Brenton felt that some of his kids ran better at Princeton than they did at Mount Vernon, while others didn’t. “We weren’t real happy with Princeton,” the Cats’ coach said. “We talked about it afterwards, we felt that some of the kids could have run better, but that’s why we run the meets, to see who’s going to show up and run.” The Cats were third at Princeton and once again, Hoehn led the way, winning the 800 in 2:02. Brenton feels that the Big Eight should be wide open this season, with as many as six teams capable of winning the title and whichever team comes in first may score in the 80s since the team is so balanced. The 400-relay team came in third (:46.14), while the 1.600-relay team took second. Michael Cannato ran a strong time in the 400, showing the potential to take over once Hoehn graduates after this season. Mitchell Kuhn scored all of North Posey’s points with a fifth-place finish in the 400-meters (:52.45) as the Vikings continued to struggle with inexperience and a lack of depth. “We found out this past week and a half at our invites that we’re to where some of these teams are,” North Posey coach Kevin Gengelbach said. “We’re young, we’re working hard, we’re still getting (personal bests) out of some of the kids. They’re learning how to run the races by seeing some of the competition, so this has been a good learning experience for them.” And just like the other two invitationals, Kuhn virtually was the team as far as point production was concerned. He scored in the 400100-meters at the recent
Southridge Invitational, while winning 400 at Wednesday’s Princeton Invitational (:52.90), and he registered a personal best at Mount Vernon. Kurt Seibert was third in the shot put at Princeton, giving the Vikings two sources of points in the invitationals, the coach added. As for the rest of the team, the Vikings’ coach said that they are working hard and continuing to improve. The lack of results may be due to who the Vikings are running against, Gengelbach added. “We’ve faced some very good competition at these invitaitonals,” he said. “The competition has been strong and the teams have been very strong. There have been a lot of good times. We’ve just got to get in the weight room and get stronger.” Gengelbach thought the Vikings ran about the same at Mount Vernon, as well as Princeton and Southridge, adding that the team has been achieving some personal bests, but the strength of the competition and the team’s inexperience have been troublesome, as has a lack of depth. North Posey had just 18 runners at Southridge after injuries to Austin Little and Lance Inkenbrandt shrunk the team.

Wildcat golfers find their groove, win as a team By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ golf had to give up medalist honors in last week’s home dual meet, but that was all right, since they had the pack. Dylan Mayer shot a 36 for the visiting Central Bears in Tuesday’s dual meet at Western Hills, but after that, it was all Cats as Mount Vernon dominated the meet 157-187. Trevor Grant shot a 37 to place the Wildcats, while Mitchell Jackson and Andrew Higgins each carded 39s. Todd Sheffer rounded out the foursome with a 42 as all Mount Vernon golfers came in between Mayer and number two Bear, Austin Vanbritson (44). Joe Reinitz and Brandon Lauderdale each carded 43s for the Wildcats’ other scores. Tuesday’s win was part of a 3-0 week for the Cats which included a pair of road wins under difficult circumstances. Mount Vernon nipped Reitz 171-173 on Thursday at Helfrich Hills in Evansville, and started the week with a win over Gibson Southern. Against the Panthers, Grant once again turned in the Wildcat Trevor Grant hits on to the green, as Mount Vernon played host to Central, in a match held at West- low score, shooting a 41 on a back nine that Mount Vernon coach Doug Blair rated as more difficult than other parts of ern Hills Country Club.

the West side course. Lauderdale fired a 42, while Higgins and Reinitz each carded 45s for the Cats. Sheffer completed the team with a 51. Grant snared medalist honors early in the week, as the Cats shot down Gibson Southern 180-201 at very windy Cambridge. Higgins carded a 43 to come in three strokes ahead of the Titans’ top man, Austin Elpers (46). Reinitz shot a 47 and Sheffer a 49. Jackson and Lauderdale each carded 50s to round out the Mount Vernon contingent. “We’ve had a good week,” Blair said. “All six kids on the team have improved this season.” Grant is a consistent top scorer, while Lauderdale, another senior, has improved throughout the year. Blair feels that the team’s depth is as good as any in the area and that the Cats have shown a balanced attack over the course of the second. Right now, they’re working on getting ready for the Big Eight Conference meet, where Jasper is considered the favorite and Vincennes will also be a force to be reckoned with.
Lady Rappites get a ‘W’ before leaving for D.C. By Steve Joos The New Harmony softball team doesn’t have any games this week as the student body takes one last trip to Washington, D.C. But the Lady Rappites will head for the nation’s Capitol in style after claiming their first win of the season. New Harmony picked up its first win of the season recently, beating Bosse 7-5 on the road. “I was happy that we beat Bosse,” coach Jeff Moore said. “I was happy to get a win.” The Lady Rappites struggled after that, losing two games including a 7-4 decision at Olney Friday, but Moore is still happy with the way the team has played. “We’re playing hard,” the coach said. “We’re hitting the ball; we’re still going at it. We didn’t quit.” The Lady Rappites actually had their chances against the Lady Tigers, a Class 3A Illinois school which entered the game with a 15-10 record. The Lady Rappites had the tying runs on base in the top of the seventh inning, but Kelsey Owen’s screaming line drive was snagged by the Olney left
fielder for the final out of the game. Kendall Morris had two hits against Olney, as each of the girls hit the ball well, even if some of those blows were right at the other team’s fielders. Moore was also pleased with how Morgan Matthews pitched, especially against Olney and Bosse. “We’re playing well,” he said. “I don’t like to lose, but these girls are playing much better.” He is concerned about the layoff as the team goes to Washington, but he hopes they will develop some confidence for the rest of the season. The Lady Rappites started hitting the ball better in Evansville, Moore said, adding that the team was able to make some progress against the Lady Bulldogs. Abby Deckard collected three hits against Bosse, while Madison Worman added two. Deckard drove in three runs, while Matthews picked up a pair of RBIs. That win was followed by a trip to Lanesville and a headon collision with a state-ranked buzzsaw, with Lanesville taking a 10-0 victory in six innings under the 10-run rule.

Lady Wildcats break out of slump with 11-2 thrashing of Memorial
rial plated both of its runs. The boys walloped Mater Dei in their first game of the week, beating the visiting team in a game shortened by the 10-run rule. On Wednesday, the Lady Cats took out nearly a week’s worth of frustration on Evansville’s other parochial school in a similar fashion. After the Lady Tigers got on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth, Mount Vernon answered. Tanner walked, stole second and scored on a single by Seifert, who came around on a double by Ford. The Lady Cats could have added more after Tucker was hit by a pitch and the runners moved up on a double steal, but that uprising was stopped when Erica Winger hit a sharp liner to short and Tucker was caught off second. In the sixth, Ford led off the inning with a solo home run and Tucker walked. The Lady Wildcat outfielder took second on Brittany Wilson’s ground out, and then came around on a single by Winiger, beating a throw to the plate. Winiger moved to second on the

Alyssa Like joins MSU Women’s Basketball Murray State women’s basketball Head Coach R LOrDss announced the signing of 5-7 Olney Central Junior College All-America guard Alyssa Like, who will join the program in the fall as a junior. “We are very excited to have Alyssa join a recruiting class that we believe is going to help meet our programs needs on the court and off,” Cross said. “The first thing we noticed about Alyssa is that she is a hard-nosed competitor and plays full bore at all times. Her willingness to lay it all on the line and do whatever her team needs is extraordinary.” Like, from Poseyville, Ind., played her prep basketball at North Posey High School where she was a multiple-sport athlete who earned 12 varsity letters and four in basketball. She was named All- Pocket Athletic Conference (PAC) First Team as a junior and senior. The last two seasons, Like has excelled at Olney Central where she was the player of the year (2011-12) in both
the Great Rivers Athletic Conference and Region-24 in the National Junior College Athletics Association. After she posted 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, she was named to the NJCAA All-America
Alyssa Like Team. Like finished her sophomore season shooting 44 percent from 3-point range, 47 percent from the field and 80 percent from the free throw line. She was also named to the GRAC and NJCAA Region-24 team as a freshman (2010-11). “Alyssa is a great three point shooter and should be able to contribute immediately because of her experi-
ence, toughness and versatility,” Cross added. “Alyssa is an outstanding student and person that will be a positive addition to the Racer Family and the community of Murray.” Like played for Clint Burns at Olney Central. “Alyssa is one the hardest working kids I’ve had at Olney men or women,” Burns said. “She was great to be around every day and she came to work and gave you everything she had every day. Alyssa loves the game and did whatever you needed her to do to win games. The sky’s the limit for her at Murray State.” This marks the second straight year that Murray State has signed a NJCAA All-American and Region 24 Player of the Year. Last year, the Racers welcomed Iasc out of John A. Logan College. Like joins Kelsey Dirks (Robinson, Ill.), Erika Sisk (Oxford, Miss.) and Christy Soldo (Hopkinsville, Ky.) as part of the Racers’ 2012 recruiting class.
Lady Cats split with Sectional foes By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ tennis team faced off against two teams they might face when the Sectional rolls around and they had some mixed results last week, as they beat one but lost to another in a pair of meets against two of the Evansville schools feeding into the Lady Wildcats’ Sectional. The Lady Wildcats shuffled their lineup and got some contributions from different corners Friday night, but it wasn’t enough as Mount Venon dropped a 3-2 decision to visiting Reitz. Jenna Reidford moved up to first singles and was a big winner, posting a 6-0, 6-0 victory over the Lady Panthers’ Lauren Schenellenburg, as the Lady Cats took the top two singles spots, but nothing else. Haley Salaman went to second singles and posted a 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 win over Olivia Gaslin, but after that, Reitz took over. Leah Adams claimed a 6-2, 7-5 decision over Sara O’Neill at third singles, while both doubles spots also went back to Evansville. At first doubles, it was Alyssa Brothers and Tara Bawel over Audrey Sum-
mers and Livia Hopper 6-1, 6-4, while Cassidy Osborne and Shelby Beavin dispatched Lexi Willis and Zoe Burkhart 6-4, 6-0. The doubles teams were challenged in three sets Thursday, but they came around and helped the Lady Cats out-duel Central 4-1. At first doubles, Hopper and Audrey Summers opened and closed strong to post a 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 win over Melissa Blythe and Lily Weaver, while Salaman and Burkhart came away with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Lana Duhaish and Tori Flowers at second doubles. Reidford and O’Neil both found the same winning score, if not the same winning formula, in taking their matches. Reidford topped Kaci Nisswandt 6-2, 6-1 at second singles,
while that was the same score (6-2, 6-1) at third singles as O’Neill dispatched Devon Bray. Claire Schroeder wasn’t as fortunate at first singles, losing to Jessica Kim 6-3, 6-2. Tuesday’s meet at Washington was postponed due to rain. JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT.

Amy Seifert singled, then Abby Oden singled and Katie Tucker, and McKenzie Stratton. The hits kept coming until six runs had crossed the plate and the Lady Wildcats were well on their way to an 11-2 romp over visiting Memorial, snapping a four-game losing streak. “We hit the ball well tonight,” coach Dave Bell said. “The girls played a good game. Everybody hit the ball and we had a good game.” The Lady Cats reeled off five straight hits in the bottom of the first while pounding out 14 blows on the night. Tanner doubled twice, while Rhylee Ford collected a pair of hits, as did Seifert and Tucker. On the other side of the ball, Stratton tossed a five-hitter, with most of those blows coming in the top of the fourth, when Memo-
Mount Vernon’s struggles in the field were aggravated by a lack of clutch hitting in th bottom of th fourth inning, when the Lady Cats loaded the bases on a single by Tanner, an error on Seiftert’s grounder to second and a walk Winiger. That threat was dashed when Ford fanned, Tucker fouled out and Wilson flew out. “We couldn’t get the ball out of the infield,” Bell said. “When you’ve got the bases loaded and nobody out, then you don’t get the ball out of the infield to score a run, that just comes back to haunt you everytime. There’s runs there waiting to score and you don’t do anything to get them in, that really hurts.” There’s always another game in softball, and Bell hopes his team will be able to bounce back. They did make some adjustments at the plate after pitcher Tiffany Summers blew through the Lady Cats in the first three innings, stepping up and doing things better, Bell said. “We can play with anybody,” he said. “Tecumseh’s one of the top five teams in the state (in Class 1A) and we can play with them.” The coach was also pleased with Denning, who pitched well despite having some defensive problems behind her. The week got off to a rough start with a tough Big Eight Conference loss to Jasper 9-6, followed by a 10-0 disaster at Gibson Southern on Tuesday, Mount Vernon hit the ball hard, but all too often right at someone against Jasper, Bell said. Mount Vernon managed 10 hits, but Jasper jumped out to a 8-2 lead in through the first four innings and Mount Vernon couldn’t recover. Seifert had three hits at jasper, while Weilbrenner added two. Ford doubled in two runs, while Denning singled and drove in two more. And Gibson Southern? Don’t ask. “We weren’t ready to play,” Bell said. “This was the worst I’ve seen us play this season. This was the first time we’ve been run-ruled this year.” The Lady Titans’ Jessica Barton belted a three-run homer in the bottom of the fifth inning as Gibson Southern banged out 12 hits and took advantage of three Mount Vernon errors. The Lady Wildcats were limited to four hits, two of them by Dick.

throw and she crossed the plate on a single by Madison Denning. Ford and Denning each had three hits against Memorial, with each Lady cat driving in three runs. Tanner and Seifert each collected a pair of blows. Unfortunately for the Lady Cats, they went right back into the doldrums Thursday, losing 8-6 to visiting Tecumseh. Denning tossed a five-hitter, but four Lady Wildcat errors proved to be the team’s undoing as the Lady Braves posted the win. “We played a really good ball club tonight,” Bell said. “We gave them too many runs, we scored six and they had eight and out of those eight I think we gave them three. We didn’t make the plays like we did (against Memorial); we didn’t hit the ball until the fifth or sixth inning.” Add in some mental mistakes and the Lady Cats just plain had a bad night. A bunt single, a stolen base, a scramble to third on a dropped third strike and a single gave Tecumseh a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Mount Vernon attempted a comeback in the bottom of the fifth, as a walk to Megan Montgomery and a single by Denning put the first two runners on base. Andrea Dick forced Denning at second, but Tanner walked to load the bases and Seifert lifted a fly ball to left, scoring Montgomery. Another walk, a pair of wild pitches and a single by Ford led to three more runs and enabled the Lady Cats to cut the deficit to 6-4. Two more errors, however, the worst one a shot off the bat of Brenna Floyd which went through the legs of the Lady Wildcat second baseman, resulted in two more runs for the Lady Braves. Mount Vernon attempted a comeback in the bottom of the seventh, cutting the lead to 8-6 on singles by Dick, Seifert, Ford and Tucker, along with a pair of walks, a wild pitch and an error, but it wasn’t enough as Wilson popped out with the tying runs on base to end the game. A hit batsman, a walk, a wild pitch and a two-run single by Kara Snow highlighted a three-run third for the Lady Braves, stretching the lead ot 4-0, then an infield single, a walk and a squeeze play brought in two more runs in the top of the fourth, stretching Tecumseh’s advantage to 6-0.

Lady Vikes play well despite 1-2 week scored on the next play. But that would be the only run the Vikings could produce on the night as the Rebels tied the game in the fifth and then took control in the sixth when one of the Rebels got all of an Ashley Shoor offering and sent it over the center field fence for the first home run of her career. With one on, the score went to 3-1. “That one hit we just couldn’t overcome,” Gentil said. “I thought we fought hard and played really well. Mater Dei is probably the favorite in our sectional but I think either South Spencer, us, or Forest Park could win it.” But the defense turned in a stellar performance as Redman and Elpers both made some outstanding defensive plays to keep the Rebels at bay. “That combination of Megan Redman and Allie Elpers has turned out really nice for us on defense this year,” Gentil said. “They both hit the ball really well. But that gap up the middle is a lot of room to cover and both of them have just been outstanding this year. Their outstanding defense has saved our pitchers a few times this year and we have already turned more double plays this year than we have in the past couple of years. We have four old-fashioned 6-4-3 double plays this year.” But the Vikings never say die and with two out in the bottom of the seventh, Haylee Harness reached and Baehl took advantage of a rare infield error. Lead-off hitter Megan Redman then fired a single to load the bases for another senior, Jordan Wassmer. Wassmer battled, taking the count to full and fouling off several pitches before she finally succumbed to a fly ball that ended the game. “We’ll take our chances any time with Jordan Wassmer up there at the plate,” Gentil said of the confidence he has in his senior pitcher/outfielder. “The bases were loaded and she has had so many tremendous key hits for us throughout the year. We will go into any game with about any of our hitters going up there in that situation.” It was a hard-fought ballgame between two good teams and it is just a sad thing that one of the teams has to lose,” Gentil said. “We made her pitch a lot of pitches and we hit a lot of foul balls and had some hard hits but they made some good defensive plays, just like we did.” This week, the Vikings are on the road again as they host Bosse on Monday before traveling to Southridge on Wednesday and to Vincennes Lincoln on Thursday.

By Dave Pearce When a softball team wins one of three games during a week, you usually hear criticism from the coach. But despite the pair of lasses this week, North Posey Coach Gary Gentil was upbeat about his team and their effort this week in a win over North Knox and a pair of losses (in conference play). “On Monday night we played at Heritage Hills and they have a pretty good team and we were in it for six innings,” Gentil said. “At that point, it was 1-0 and we were matched up pretty well with them. But in the bottom of the sixth, they got hot and we just couldn’t get it back. They took control and beat us 9-1.” But Gentil was proud of the way his team battled when it traveled to North Knox later in the week as the Big Three of Megan Redman, Morgan Stierley, and Deana Lindauer led an offensive assault that resulted in a 12-2 five-inning game because of the 10-run rule. Stierley had a double and a walk. Her only out was a fly ball snagged on the warning track. Lindauer finished 2-for-3 on the night while Redman finished 3-for-4. Allie Elpers finished the night 2-for-2 while Megan Baehl had a hit. Elpers, Lindauer and Stierly each had a pair of RBIs while Redman and Elpers each had a pair of stolen bases. Gentil was pleased with the team’s effort there because sometimes, when you are playing a mediocre team and are having to ride a bus for almost two hours to get there, it is easy to let your guard down and play to the level of the competition. That was not the case for the Lady Vikings. “The whole team hit well up there and we could have let down but we kept going hard and got it done in five innings,” Gentil said. But the heartbreaker of the week came on Friday night when the South Spencer Rebels came to North Posey in what proved to be a fast-paced ballgame that was basically decided by a single hit. The teams were obviously evenly-matched and the outcome, a 3-1 win by the Rebels, attested to that fact as the Vikings left the bases loaded in both the first and the seventh innings. “The scouting report was that we looked like a mirror image of each other,” Gentil said of the Lady Rebels. “Their pitcher had a little more speed but Ashley (Shoor) probably does a little better job of placing her pitches. Early in the game, the Vikings on the board first when Baehl hit a dribbler down the first-base line and was called safe as the first baseman fielded the ball and attempted to reach out and tag the runner.

Lady Vikings take out frustrations on Braves It was a rough week for the North Posey girls’ tennis team until Wednesday. That’s when Tecumseh showed up. The Lady Vikings shook off two losses on Wednesday and aced the Lady Braves 4-1, salvaging one of their three dual meets this week. Lindsey Droege and Bri Brown were exceptions to the rule last week, as the North Posey second doubles duo went 3-0, completing their run with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Tecumseh’s Kayla Bennett and A.J. Fischer. Meanwhile, at second singles, Natalie Thomas won her second match of the week, dispatching Kaylee Hill in three sets, 2-6, 6-4, 6-0. After trouble with the first two meets, coach Brandon Barrett moved around some girls and found success, as Wendi Simpson moved from first doubles to third singles and toppled the Lady Braves’ Lindsay Wira 6-3, 6-4, while Megan Durchholz teamed up with Kendall Reidford to post a 6-0, 6-0
victory over Rhylee Ubelhor and Ruth Bruce at first doubles. First singles was the only down spot for the Lady Vikings, as Shelby Ackerman lost to Tori Fromm 6-4, 6-1. The reserves raised their record to 7-0-1 with just one win, that one over Tecumseh’s lone reserve player 1-0. It was all seconds for he Lady Vikings Tuesday, as they won at second singles and second doubles, but fell at Southridge 3-2. Thomas won at second singles when Lynette Winsett retired after the two second singles players split their first two sets; with Thomas posting a 6-4 victory after Winsett won the first set 6-2. Brown and Droege won their second match of the week at second doubles, beating Teresa Bowling and Olivia Springer 6-3, 6-1. Durcholz was competitive at third singles, at least according to the score sheet, but she dropped a 6-3, 6-4 decision to Alexandra Herron, At first singles, Aman-
da Morrison was a 6-2, 6-0 winner over Ackerman and the first doubles combo of Megan Dippel and Kenzie Buckotter topped Simpson and Reidford 6-4, 6-0. For the first time this season, the North Posey reserves failed to win a meet, tying Southridge 2-2. Droege and Brown were the lone victors in the Lady Vikings’ 4-1 loss to visiting Mater Dei earlier in the week, defeating Jamie Logel and Megan Steinkamp 6-2, 6-3 at second doubles. Thomas pushed Katherine Bender at second singles before falling 7-6(1), 6-4 at second singles. The Lady Wildcats’ first doubles team of Jenna Smith and Victoria Richmond also needed a tiebreaker to shake off Simpson and Reidford 6-4, 7-6(2). At third singles, Durcholz dropped a 6-2, 6-2 decision to Emily McAtee, while Ackerman lost to Claire Alvey 6-1, 6-1 at first singles. The Lady Viking reserves nipped Mater Dei 4-3 to win their meet.

Viking baseball, from Page B1 urday’s debacle, the team seemed to have been putting more aspects of the game together at the same time, the thing he feels is necessary if the team is to have post-season aspirations. Following Friday evening’s hammering of the Mount Carmel Golden Aces, Smith said he was proud of his team and the way they came out and took care of business against the Big Eight Conference school from Southern Illinois. “It’s nice to get a win, especially the way we played offensively,” Smith said of his team’s 12 runs on 13 hits. “Tonight we played really well offensively, which is the complete opposite of the way we played at Tecumseh.” The Vikings squeaked out a 2-1 conference win over the Braves as neither team was able to generate much offense in the game played in Warrick County. “We really struggled up there and were offbalance a little bit but I thought tonight that we came out aggressive and we had baserunners and we put the ball into play on some pitches,” Smith said. “When we can do that, we are a pretty good offensive team. It felt good to see the kids come out offensively and play well against a pretty good team. They hit the ball well, too. It was a fun game to play.” Despite the early-week success, Smith preferred not to discuss the overall effect of the good early part of the week only to say that his team wants to take it one day at a time and be undefeated for the day each day they play. And perhaps Smith knows his team better than anyone as he discussed the upcoming game against the Marksmen. “They are an improving team and they have played some really good teams very close and have beaten some very good teams,” Smith said before Saturday’s game. “But we still, by far, have not yet played our best game of baseball in all facets.” “Tonight, we walked a lot of guys but I thought Christian Jones did a really nice job the last inning for us,” Smith said. “Starter Alec Werry and then Colton Motz both did a nice job of battling for us and they made some good pitches when we needed them to keep Mount Carmel from having any really big innings. But defensively, we were only about a six on a scale of ten and we know we are capable of being up there in the eight, nine or ten area.” Smith had kind words for senior Casey Voelker who came in and replaced starting catcher Ryan Gish when he took a foul ball off his fingertip and appeared to have lost at
least a portion of his fingernail. “Casey did a nice job coming in there even though Ryan probably could have played but there just wasn’t any reason to risk anything,” Smith said. Casey Voelker is a good tough young kid and his brother Cody had a nice game defensively. And Cody is really starting to mold into a solid outfielder for us. He is getting good jumps on the ball and getting to some balls that earlier in the year we were not getting to.” Casey actually threw out the first batter of the inning after he swung at a wild pitch. Voelker’s throw beat the runner by less than a half-step but the important thing was the out. North Posey’s pitching got a real test and a workout this week as Smith used four pitchers in the win at Gibson Southern. “We’ve got Shane Neumann who has been giving us some good innings and we have three sophomores who are pitching really well, as well,” Smith said. “If we can throw strikes, catch the ball and throw them out, we’ll be OK.” But despite Saturday’s loss, the team ran its record to 11-6 on the year and Smith thought his team played well for the most part. “Austin Bender moved to the lead-off spot about four games ago and he has just done a tremendous job,” Smith said of the senior. “He was 2-for-2 with four runs scored against Mount Carmel and he went 4-for-12 on the week.” But Bender wasn’t the only player who had a good week. “Kyle Voegel went 5-for-13 for the week at the number two spot,” Smith said. “He scored two runs and had three RBIs for us. He thing about Kyle is that he swings a lefthanded stick and can bat anywhere from second to fifth and can really help our offense.” But perhaps the biggest hitter this week was senior Cody Voelker, who went 7-for-14 from the plate for the week. “He has really been a sparkplug for us,” Smith said. “We have Austin Bender, Cody Voelker and Jared Meliff, three seniors there who are rally doing a good job of getting on base. But we are still leaving quite a few guys on base. We left nine on base against Tell City and had some opportunities we didn’t cash in on offensively.” The loss on Saturday leaves the team at 11-6. “If we ever get to the point to where we get all three facets of the game clicking at the same time, we can be a pretty good baseball team,” Smith concluded.
er explained. That and a good night at Forest Park earlier in the week may have caused a little fatigue among the Lady Cats. It didn’t seem to bother Waddell in the early going. First, she ran in the 3,200-meter relay, and then she entered the mile, running that in a time which was six seconds slower than her time at Ferdinand, but was enough to hold off North Posey’s Olivia Goebel. With Erica McCormick unable to compete due to a prior obligation, several other girls had to step up and they performed well, Maier said, especially Madison Seib in the 800-meters and did well despite not scoring. Stemple led off the 3,200-relay and posted a time of 2:34, which would have been good enough for second in the open race, then turned around and made the finals in the 100-dash. Coach Maier was also pleased with her pole vaulter, Maggie Maier, who registered career best vault of eight feet. The Lady Wildcats were hurting in a number of areas and may have been victimized by some adversity which cost them the team title. First-year runner Taylor Cullman was called for a false start and was disqualified in the 400dash, while Amanda Duckworth fell in the stretch during the 300-hurdles. Those hurt, but Mount Vernon also got a strong performance from Kellen Ray, who came close to the school record in the 100-hurdles, despite a third-place finish. “It gives me a lot of hope (heading into the conference and Sectional),” Maier said. “We’re working hard and we’re going to have to be game on conference night.” Katie McDonald and Rachel Cash performed well in the 3,200-meters, while sophomore Cheyenne Strobel registered a person best in the shot put. Lady Vikings’ coach Leah Stormont was looking for personal improvement and got it, but North Posey got to take home a blue ribbon as well when Goebel took first in the 3,200-meters with a time of 12:59.13, but overall Stormont felt that her team performed well. “We’ve had some personal bests today,” the coach said. “Mackenzie Orlik in the 400 and Emma Werry (on a hand-held timer), broke the school record (in the 300-meter hurdles). I’m not sure yet, but she might have broken her own record, so that’s exciting. We’ve thrown well too.” Caitlin Herrmann was consistent in the discus and shot put, even through she missed scoring points for North Posey. Places and points may not be as important now as consistency is, Stormont explained. “When they’re up against bigger competition at the PAC and Sectional, then they can run their hearts out,” the coach said. “Now we’re looking for consistency.” The Lady Vikings came into the meet on a high note after a strong performance at Tuesday’s Forest Park Invitational, where the team doubled its point total over last year. That confidence helped North Posey Saturday, and Stormont thinks it will help in the upcoming Pocket Athletic Conference and Sectional meets. Central and Vincennes did tie for seventh place with 36 points each, four in back of Mater Dei. Signature School rounded out the field with 10 tallies. The individual stars for both county schools shone at Tuesday s Forest park Invitational,
even though the Lady Vikings were well near the back of the pack and Mount Venron had a frustrating day in Ferdinand. Mount Vernon finished third with 99 points, just missing second by three tallies behind Forest Park (102), while North Posey came in sixth with 56. “It turned out to be a nice evening,” Maier said. “Again, we had some real good performances.” Waddell was a double winner, taking the 1,600 in 5:35.3, and the 3,200 in 12:18.35, while also running a leg of the first-place 3,200-relay team. She joined Stemple, McKenzie McClarney and Seib to post a time of 10.24.44. McCormick won the 800 in 2:29.26 for another Wildcat blue ribbon. Waddell was winded after running her personal best in both distance races, while Foster brought home a blue ribbon in the long jump. “It was a little bit of a frustrating evening for us,” Maier said of the team standings. “We were third out of eight teams, however Northeast Dubois won it with 108 points and Forest Park was second with 102, just three points out of second.” The outcome was a learning experience for the team, Maier said, as it stressed the importance of every point and she hoped the Lady Cats would gain from that experience. Werry brought home a blue ribbon for the Lady Vikings, winning the 300-hurdles in :49.96. Northeast Dubois (108) won the meet, while Floyd Central and Corydon Central went 4-5. Tell City was seventh with 48 points and Harrison (46) rounded out the field.

Wildcat baseball, from Page B1 walk-off hit. Quinzer thought that his team played well, but they left too many runners on base and struggled to get a clutch until Roberts came through in the seventh. The coach credited Dausmann with keeping the Cats in the game until the offense could complete the comeback. • Paris scattered seven hits Saturday as the Cats pulled out a clutch 3-2 Big Eight Conference win over the visiting Washington Hatchets. The Cats had to rally twice to pull out the victory, scoring two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull out the win. The senior hurler only walked one and scored Mount Vernon’s first run of the day when he tripled in the bottom of the third inning and scored on a sacrifice fly by Clay Ford.
That knotted the score at 1-1. The Hatchets retook the lead top of the fifth inning before the Cats came back once more. Craig Beeson singled and Dausmann doubled to open the Wildcat fifth. Bryce Newman walked with one out and Redman laced a single back up the middle with two outs to drive in the go-ahead runs. The Cats are now 3-1 in the Big Eight Conference following an 8-4 victory at Princeton Tuesday. Roberts collected three hits and drove in two runs, while Mount Vernon took advantage of three Princeton errors and some wildness on the part of the Tiger pitchers to back up the pitching of McNamara and Newman. Roberts’ fourth inning single helped break the game open after four straight hits started the inning.

ount Vernon High School senior Jon Hoehn o iiss back his third year by popular ded this weekend during ring Arts in mand Harmony—Saturday, May 5, 9 unday, a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, May 6, noon to 4 p.m. At sthe New Harmony festival, Hoehn will offerr his Indian Creek Garden Art, unique rustic sculpture created from scrap metal and wood on his dad’s farm. For three years now, the recently crowned prom king has bright-de ened corners outside and even inside with his d his wiry floral bouquets and mals. In whimsical bugs and animals. ilitarian art, addition, he creates utilitarian namely garden trellises. He recognizes his mom as his inspiration. “My mom loves flowers. She has tons of flowers in her gardens, and she has gardens all around our house. One day she told wer me that one of her flower d gardens really needed something for the middle of it. She told me to go to the shop and come back with something cool. I was up there maybe two hours or so, and I came back with a huge bird. She absolutely loved it. I wass ver, like, ‘Yeah, OK, whatever, Mom. You’re my mom; you have to love it,’” Hoehn recalls. What happened next truly surst. “Then, my prised the young artist. mom’s friends came over, and they loved it. Then, they told their friends and they told d different theirs, and they wanted ma [Lothings. Then, my grandma omeretta Hoehn] wanted somemething, and I built somer. thing different for her. People saw that one, and they wanted one. It all spider-webbed from then on out,” he explains. Hoehn is quick to mention additional supporters. A fellow parishioner at St. Mat-di, thew, Michele Gondi, appreciated his work and n touch recommended he get in irector of with Maggie Rapp, Director er Salon. Rapp New Harmony’s Hoosier i H h tto succeed d att was instrumental in helping Hoehn his first Arts in Harmony. Equally as imunt Vernon portant, Hoehn says Mount High School art teacher Kendra m treGlaser has helped him mendously. es His favorite sculptures include peacocks (the “prettiest,” he says) and pigs (the “most realistic,” he notes). Mount Vernon’s Hawg N’ Sauce showcases one of Hoehn’s pigs inside the barbecue restaurant. As the piecee exhibits, the finds in his dad’s scrap metal barn definitely keep their rustic ambiver up the ance. Hoehn doesn’t cover rust with paint. Hoehn emphasizes hiss work will never be mistaken for cookie-cutter art. “It’s all truly one of
a kind,” he says. “It’s always a different animal since it’s made from a different piece of scrap meta metal in a different way.” When he starts classes this fall as an undecided major at Wes Western Kentucky Universit sity in Bowling Green, H Hoehn says a career in art will be in the back of his mind. He’s taken 2D or 3D art every single year in high school. “I really enjoy art. Everything that I’ve done in my high sschool career, I’ve real ally enjoyed—whether it w was painting, drawing, throw throwing pieces [on the potter’s wheel], wh making animals in metal sculp sculpture. I’ve always had a blast,” he says. The son of Mount Vernon natives Mark and Edith Hoehn, Jon has enjoyed and excelled in high school sports also. In football, foot he was a four-time lette letter winner and served as tea team captain for two years. F For wrestling, he was a two-time state qualifier and went to semi-state once. In addition, he was MVP and team captain two years running for the wrestling team. He is excited he h has run with the track te team that won conference and looks forward to high stand standings this year. Visito Visitors to Hoehn’s Indian Creek Gar Garden Art booth will be pleased to meet tthe personable young artist. He is one of more than 40 artists featured this Saturday and Sunday in outdoor booths along Main Mai and Tavern streets in New Harmony H as well as inside the old Ribeyre Gym on Main. Four food booths w will serve up favorite loccal eats to keep everyone energized. This year’s Arts in Harmony promises something for all art lovers—baskets, jewelry, painting and purses, woodcarving a more. New Harmony and Sc School will be showing c off ceramic tiles and similar items for the last time. Harmonie Ha Haus Cinema is featuring the Academy Award winning movie, “Th A ti t ” all ll weekend. k d Locally and nationally “The Artist,” recognized musicians will play outside, weather per permitting. Indeed, for the first time this Indeed year, Arts in Harmony will put on a street dance Saturday ni night after the festival closees. The dance is meant to appeal to the younger set and a mixed crowd with tunes selected by New Harmony business owner Owen Lewis, celebrated as a deejay in Kathmandu, Nepal. W With this combination of tal talent, food, entertainment and fun, no wonder people brag su such things happen “only H in New Harmony.” Story by Pam Robinson. St Photos and layout by Zach Straw.
