Three plead guilty to drug charges, face stiff sentences
Coaching changes coming According to information received on Sunday afternoon, North Posey High School will have at least two new head coaches in athletics this year. The North Posey basketball camp was postponed this week as Coach Matt Wadsworth will apparently be leaving. According to information given to players, Wadsworth’s employment by Whiteland High School, a Class 4A school of around 1700 students, simply needs confirmation by the school board there. His resignation from North Posey will be acted upon at the next school board meeting. Gary Gentil, after 18 years of involvement with the North Posey volleyball program, the past three as head coach, will not serve in that capacity this year.

Mount Vernon rewards Kopatich’s fiscal efforts By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon School Board extended the employment contract, scheduled to expire June 30, 2013, for Superintendent Tom Kopatich at the Monday, May 21, meeting. The new employment contract between Kopatich and the Board will run from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2016. It was stated that the salary would be reflected in the wage and benefit package for management and non-unit personnel. The board cited their approval of Kopatich’s sound budgetary management of the school district during difficult times and his rapport with administrators, teachers, staff and community. Board member Beth McFadin Higgins perhaps spoke most eloquently, stating, “Certainly, we’ve seen the landscape of education continuously change. As soon as we think we have something predicted, that’s changed. And Dr. Kopatich has really been a good lighthouse in that sense. He’s really given us direction, and we appreciate it.”
Your help needed The Posey County Sheriff’s Department is investigating an incident that occurred Sunday May 13, in the area of Denzer and St. Philips Road. Anyone having information regarding a person (or persons) who were discharging firearms in the area of Denzer and St. Philips Road during the evening hours of Sunday May 13, is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 838-1321.
Kopatich thanked the board and emphasized, “It’s an honor to be working for the school district, the school board and the community of Mount Vernon.” After the meeting, Kopatich confirmed that his salary is $93,780 after the 5.5 percent pay decrease. He works year-round with 15 days of vacation that may be used any time. If the superintendent wants to go away for spring break or Christmas break, for example, he must use vacation time. Kopatich receives basically the same benefit package as other personnel. In addition, the board confirmed the employment of several teachers and key personnel in the school district. Those new hires include Ashley Burke as high school English and language arts teacher; Nathan Ellis as junior high social studies teacher; Christine Franklin as junior high English and language arts teacher; Sarah Hall as junior high math teacher;

OPINION
Stand up for something or you will fall for anything...’upgrade!’ As I woke up this morning I was thinking how nice it was that I didn’t have to get up early because today was a holiday but I started pondering what Memorial Day really means. THE Last Friday I wore a red, WAY white and blue shirt in honor I SEE of the upcoming Memo- IT... rial Day holiday to work. A young lady I work with and BY CONNIE PEARCE I were discussing me wearing that shirt. She asked me what being patriotic had to do with this particular holiday. In her words she thought it was a day to remember the ones who have passed on before us. While I agree with her I went on to tell it there was much, much more to this day that we celebrate on the last Monday of every May. Memorial Day was a day that was set aside to honor those have fought and died to keep our country free. So many dedicated men and women have severed to keep it that way. This year it is a little extra special to me. I now have a nephew who is proudly serving in the Air Force and my niece’s finance has just completed his basic training in the Marines. I also have a cousin who is a commander in the Navy who followed the footsteps of his father, my uncle, who retired as a captain in the same branch of armed forces. Yesterday at our church our minister’s sermon was on the topic of freedom and what it means to live in America. He reminded me even more of the true history of celebrating Memorial Day. He talked a lot about the process of how our country was founded. He even read the Bill of Rights from beginning to end. I loved history and government when I was in school but I have to admit that was probably the last time I had read the Bill of Rights from start to finish. As I sat there and listened to him read about how our coun-
try, the United States of America was founded and how the process was established to keep it that way so many thoughts crossed my mind. The minister was discussing our freedom of religion and his concern in today’s world of those privileges getting taken away. One thought keeps coming to my mind about how much we as Americans have changed over the years. It is my belief that we have become so loose in standing up for what the Bible teaches us that we are letting our freedoms slip away. Not only our religious freedoms but all freedoms. It seems like we have the attitude that we don’t have to speak up and do our job to defend the Constitution but that we will let someone else do it. And I believe that those someone else’s are doing just that. It is not being done by changing the foundation of our country the way it was intended to be done but every so quietly while we are not paying attention. We are getting away from being founded “Under God.” Do we really want to go there, I think not. I realize it is easier to stand by and let things happen than to say what is right and take a chance that we are going to get criticized, ridiculed or even fired from our jobs but I believe we have to take these stands or we are not going to have the freedom to say what we think or the freedom to choose what jobs we work. It is even happening in our churches across America. Most churches were formed with a constitution and by-laws and how many times do we see ministers or leaders of the church just start doing things a little different one thing at a time where people don’t really notice. Before you know it you have a church that has completely changed without a vote ever being taken. This is what is happening to our country as well. The constitution and bylaws were established for reason whether it be for our churches, civic organizations or our country. There are processes for changing them and as
members or citizens, it is our responsibility to make sure it is done correctly. Health care is another topic in which we all have an interest. We all want the best health insurance plans but we tend to sit back and let politicians make the rules. These rules may not be in our best interest. As election time comes around in November I challenge you to do your homework and find out what the candidates true beliefs are before going to the polls. Vote for the person who stands for what you believe, be knowledgeable. As you reflect this week on how you spent your Memorial Day holiday in 2012 with family and friends go a little deeper and ponder on what you need to be doing and saying to defend America and what our country was founded on. Most of us are not going to serve physically in the military during our lifetimes but we do have friends and family members who have severed and those who currently are protecting our country but we can support them in some way. Take every opportunity to say thank you to those men and women. Many of you may have seen the commercials that run on our local television stations about “What is your upgrade?” It is referring mostly to health issues like drinking more water, taking a 20-minute walk every day, eating one less donut a week but take that concept a bit further and find one thing you can “upgrade” to protect the United States of America and the freedoms we have today. I realize by the time you read this another Memorial Day has come and gone but I challenge you to extend your thoughts throughout the year to honor those who have passed on before us whether it be from military service or otherwise and thank and love the ones you still have. Remember we are a Christian nation and we need to stand up and take back America as a nation established “Under God.” What will be your “upgrade”?
It takes a village to raise a family—sometimes an entire community Many people swear by the now cliché saying, “It takes a village to raise a child.” No one has ever admitted, however, within my earshot, “It takes a village to raise a family.” Yes, I believe LIVING adults need a strong support FOR THE system, the same as chilJOURNEY dren—at least in my family. BY PAM This past week, as my ROBINSON husband Jim saved us literally hundreds of dollars for landscaping, I started thinking about how many people
I owe for a comfortable life, including him. I remember several years ago, when stay-at-home moms felt the need to justify their existence, media tabulated the cost of a mom’s “jobs”—daycare worker, chef, maid, chauffeur. They amounted, of course, to many thousands of dollars. Although I’ve shouldered all these responsibilities at one time or another, I must confess I have always shared them with my husband. I could not, and would not, take credit for holding a monopoly on childcare and housework. Jim has always helped me with caring for our home, inside and out, and its occupants, including the dogs. Both Jim and I must extend credit, nonetheless, to a
Guest Column by State Rep Wendy McNamara Bringing jobs to Indiana Last month, Indiana led the nation in private sector job growth by adding 15,400 jobs making our private sector grow at six times the national rate. This marks the fourth largest onemonth increase in 22 years. The Commissioner of the Department of Workforce Development Scott Sanders said, “The Hoosier state has not seen economic growth on this level in a generation.” It has become imperative, more now than ever before, to encourage economic development policies that we have put in place. The economy has always been my top priority. During the last two years, the legislature has closely studied Indiana’s economic situation
Gavel Gamut’s Saint Patrick lived from about 387 AD to about 460 AD or, if one legend is fact, until 493 AD. Patrick’s life is subject to interpretation even to the point some scholars believe “he” might have been two people. Another legend that is most likely just myth is that Patrick drove all of Ireland’s snakes into the sea after snakes attacked him during a forty day fast he was enduring to commemorate Christ’s forty days in the wilderness. However, there is no evidence there ever were snakes in Ireland due to its isolation caused during Ireland’s post-glacial period. The Saint Patrick/Ireland snake legend probably arose out of an attempt to connect Patrick to the biblical Moses who was credited with conning the Pharaoh into letting the Hebrews go by turning Moses’ staff into a snake. Regardless, most of us recognize March 17th, Patrick’s assumed date of death, by wearing green and repeating the myth of his driving the non-existing snakes out of Ireland. Now, I have no wish to dis St. Patrick as history
and implemented legislation that fosters economic growth and creates more jobs within our borders. I authored legislation that has had an immediate impact on the landscape of the Hoosier economy. House Enrolled Act 1004, signed into law in 2011, cuts the corporate tax rate two percent, down to 6.5 percent over four years and significantly increases access to start-up capital for new companies. Additionally, Right to Work (RTW) legislation was signed into law this session making Indiana the 23rd RTW state in the nation. Businesses have already heralded this policy as a key factor in choosing to expand and locate their business in Indiana. Recent job an-
nouncements highlight that we are already seeing an increase in economic development opportunities for Indiana because of the passage of these key economic bills. This unprecedented job growth is good news for Indiana and our community. To date, 45 companies have told the Indiana Economic Development Commission that RTW will be a factor in deciding whether to come to Indiana. Of those companies, 10 having already agreed to set up shop in Indiana and four specifically cited that RTW played a role in their decision. One of those companies, SealCorp USA, will be setting up shop here in Evansville. SealCorp USA will bring needed jobs and
investment to the community, and I am pleased that the company chose to make Evansville their home. The legislature’s stance to build a pro-business, pro-taxpayer environment over the past two years will continue to lead to more companies deciding to call Indiana home. Bringing jobs to southwestern Indiana will remain at the forefront of my priorities throughout my tenure as a state representative.
number of family and friends. Without them, our Robinson household would not look like it does today. One example alone proves my indebtedness to others for the well-being of my family. Nearly 14 years ago, not long after Jim and I brought home our daughter Jessica from China, I suffered from debilitating anxiety and depression. Instead of seeing me go to the hospital, my sisterin-law Penny Capes came into my home daily for about six weeks to help me with cooking, cleaning, and, most important, caring for my beloved toddler Jessica. I was so frazzled, I hesitated to even boil water, but Penny patiently guided me until I learned to trust myself again and mind my own home. Penny and her husband Steve were caring for their own three school-aged children, yet they never complained about helping Jim, Jessica and me. I can never thank them enough for their sacrifice. Yet, that one example hardly tells the whole story. The late J.L. and Pearl Robinson, Jim’s parents, raised an entire clan of givers. In addition, my sister Shirley Carver has been a blessing to us since she moved to Cloverleaf a few years ago. In ways too numerous to mention, everyone has supported us emotionally and sometimes even financially. Likewise, Jim and I would never get by without a little help from our friends. I mention none of them by name for fear of leaving someone out. God has sent such good people to help look out for my family. To me, they’re all earth angels. As my daughter Jessica approaches her sophomore year in high school, I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has touched our lives. We truly couldn’t live if living were without any of you.

ing with snakes I respectfully refuse to take a back seat to a myth. Just last weekend, I modestly submit, I sprang into the type of action St. Patrick is incorrectly credited with (I know that’s a preposition). Those few of you who peruse this column may recall that as a result of a skiing accident on March 19, 2012 (please note, Gentle Reader, this was near St. Patrick’s Day), I have been perambulating with the aid of crutches. So when Peg came bare flip-flop toe to hissing head with the largest copperhead snake I have ever seen, the wily varmint had me at a disadvantage. Peg says that would have been true had there been no skiing accident. Be that as it may, when Peg did her best interpre-
tation of a reaction to the curse of Eve, I was right beside her in the backyard of JPeg Ranch. As the copperhead coiled up and prepared to assert his dominance over the hapless humans in his wake, I dropped my right crutch and grabbed my left crutch with both hands -- I suspect, Gentle Reader, you can envision the result. What is so obvious to you and me too, now, was not on my mind as I prepared to go forth into the maw of danger. As I began to list obliquely toward my broken right leg I kept an eye on the serpent. My arms extended my left crutch which I flailed wildly in the direction of the swaying reptile. Its forked tongue rapidly flicked in and out and it had a cold-eye sneer. Just about that time, as I winced in pain and struggled to keep from falling onto the snake, I perceived a change in the creature’s attitude. It relaxed its coils and stretched out on the grass as it slowly turned to slither away. It was puzzling to me to observe an expression on the pyramid shaped head of the evil monster I did not know snakes could muster; I believe it was smirking.

Mount Vernon School Board Margaret Heckman as 50 percent art teacher for Marrs; Laura Kissel as junior high art teacher; Cory Mullins as junior and senior high school band director; and Kate Scates as home/school advisor for both Marrs and the junior high. Kopatich stated that the district was close to having everyone hired—noting the need to select another junior high social studies teacher, a preschool teacher and a counselor at both the junior high and high school—except the teacher assistants. The employment postings for teacher assistants were placed on the website last week. Two resignations were accepted: one from John Kozloski as a counselor and extracurricular monitor (1/2 stipend) and one from Stephaine Sharber as academic coach, newspaper and yearbook sponsor and assistant girls’ track coach, all at the junior high. The resignations were effective at the end of the 2011-12 school year. In other business: •The board accepted the low bid from Felts Lock and Alarm in the amount of $339,065.50 for the access control systems at Mount Vernon Junior High School, Marrs Elementary School and Hedges Central. In addition, the board accepted alternate #1 bid from Felts in the amount of $33,093.75 for the vehicular gate at the junior high. •The board set 2012-13

Three plead guilty drug sentences were handed down this week and a third defendant entered a guilty plea. Malissa Linder, one of 21 who was arrested in the big October drug raid in Posey County, pled guilty this week to two counts of dealing in methamphetamine, both Class B felonies. She was sentenced to eight years on each count with the sentences to run concurrently. The sentencing was Tuesday and her trial date in July was vacated because of the guilty plea. In an unrelated drug case involving Joseph Trapp and Susan Lewis, both of Wadesville, Parkhurst said the pair was charged in November with several counts of dealing in methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine, possession or precursors, as well as maintaining a common nuisance.
The pair was arrested and charged with drug charges involving two residences in Wadesville, one at 4239 Princeton and the other at 4230 High Street. Trapp pled guilty to three counts of dealing methamphetamine, possession of chemical precursors with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine, and maintaining a common nuisance. He was sentenced this week in Posey Court to 12 years in prison. Lewis pled guilty dealing in methamphetamines, possession of chemical precursors with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine, and resisting law enforcement. Lewis will be sentenced on July 3 to eight years for her part in the drug charges.

Stroke screening to be offered to area residents Everyone has risk associated with Stroke. Knowing your risk and getting a fast and painless stroke screening are your best defenses against a life threatening or life-altering event. Many people go through their daily routines without realizing how close they are to suffering a life-threatening stroke. And, unfortunately, most people don’t have symptoms or signs before a stroke occurs. That’s why stroke is commonly referred to as the “silent killer,” ranking as the third leading cause of death in the United States. But new mobile technology is available today to help individuals determine their stroke risk in advance so they can take steps to improve their health. A stroke screening will help to identify these blood flow blockages. Stoke Detection Plus, a mobile vascular screening company, uses ultrasound technology to find blockages in the body’s blood vessels that could lead to a stroke. “Ultrasound technology is something that’s been around
for over 50 years. Medical professionals have used the visual, non-invasive technology in many applications. Pregnancy is probably the most well-known application of ultrasound,” says Scott McGlothlen, Stroke Detection Plus President. Ultrasound can also help doctors see blocked blood vessels without performing an angiogram, an invasive procedure in which a tiny catheter tube is inserted into a blood vessel. “Unlike an angiogram, the Stroke Detection Plus ultrasound screening is performed without needles or injections,” McGlothlen says. Patients remain fully clothed as the technician moves an ultrasound probe over specific areas of the body to detect potential blood vessel blockages. “In five minutes, we can tell people if they have blockage. And they get these results confidentially, so it doesn’t affect their health premium,” he says. During a Stroke Detection Plus screening, a certified ultrasound technician performs four tests. “If the
ultrasound test discovers a potential health problem, an on-staff nurse for Stroke Detection Plus will follow up with a phone consultation to encourage patients to visit their doctor for diagnosis and treatment,” McGlothlen says. People over the age of 40 are encouraged to get tested especially with one or more of the following risk factors: high blood pressure, diabetes, more than 20 pounds overweight, smoke, have high cholesterol, inactive lifestyle, or have a family medical history of heart disease or stroke. Stroke Detection Plus will be screening on Wednesday June 6 8:00 - 3:00at Posey County Council on Aging located at 611 West 8th Street. A complete wellness profile costs $135 or you can opt for individual tests at just $45 each. A two minute virtual tour of the screenings being offered can be found on the Stroke Detection Plus website, www.strokedetectionplus.com Appointments are necessary. To set up an appointment, call toll-free 1-877732-8258. At left: Kayla Beuligmann is New Harmonie Healthcares new Social Service Director.

COMMUNITY
Public hearing brings full support for New Harmony storm sewer project By Pam Robinson As part of the May 17 meeting of the New Harmony Town Council, the second public hearing was held regarding the storm water system improvements project. Debbie Bennett-Stearsman of the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana facilitated the hearing. All comments addressed the need for resolving issues with flooding and standing water, particularly at Murphy Park and nearby neighborhood yards, after rains. Several community leaders spoke to the urgency of the project, including New Harmony School Superintendent Fran Thoele; the co-owner of Cook’s on Brewery, David Flanders; and residents Richard and Margaret Diemer. All five council members lent their support to the comments. The public hearing represents just part of the preparation for submitting an application for a Community Focus Fund grant administered through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, or OCRA. New Harmony will submit its application on June 8, 2012, requesting a half million dollars from OCRA and committing to another $168,500 in matching funds. Residents and business owners may continue to submit letters of support for the project to Town Hall until June 1, 2012. Council approved all necessary documents for the project and authorized Town President David Campbell to submit the grant application for the Town of New Harmony and to confirm the town has the matching funds required. As outlined by the engineer for the project, Derick Wiggins of Midwestern Englneers, Inc., the proposed $658,500 storm water system improvements will cover a lot of ground. The system will run along South Road to correct the storm water runoff from several large hills to the south. The runoff flows north, inundating the park, the school, and other areas around the school. The plan includes a large collection structure in the valley to capture the
runoff—running west across Main Street and across the south side of the labyrinth property into an existing ditch to the west. The remaining parts of the project are along East Street, Park Street and Brewery Street. The plan is to tie into an existing storm sewer that runs along the north side of South Street. The size of the storm sewer ranges from 54inch down to 12-inch laterals that will act to collect storm water and convey it to the main line. In total, approximately 1,340 feet of 54inch storm sewer will be placed along with 270 feet of 48-inch, 1,310 feet of 36-inch, 540 feet of 30-inch and 360 feet of 12-inch. The project also includes approximately 30 storm water inlets, storm water manholes, reinforced concrete storm water headwall structures and associated stone, backfill, pavement resurfacing and sidewalk replacement. OCRA will announce grant awards around August 31, 2012. Pending funding, construction would start around March, 2013, on the storm water system improvements project and end around November, 2013. In other business: • Council approved the fireworks ordinance (2012-6) that prohibits the use of fireworks on any municipal, public or school property. The ordinance also prohibits the use of fireworks or the residue from spent fireworks on a neighbor’s property. • Council authorized Town President David Campbell to negotiate a two-year lease between the Town of New Harmony and the North Posey School District regarding the use of the vacated New Harmony School. Campbell said the way it looks now, the town will take the title to the school on July 1, 2012. He also reported that the Posey County Commissioners rejected the idea of helping the town with school upkeep. • Council approved the Maple Hill Cemetery Rules as presented.

You may have noticed that anything distributed by Historic New Harmony is accompanied by the tagline: Historic New Harmony is a unified program of the University of Southern Indian and the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. What does that mean? Prior to 1991, the New Harmony State Historic Site, managed by the Indiana Department of National Resources (DNR), Division of State Museum and Historic Sites, operated several historic sites in New Harmony. Today, the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites (ISMHS) owns Community House No. 2, the Fauntleroy House, Thrall’s Opera House, the Scholle House, the Harmonist Labyrinth, and the Harmonist Cemetery. These sites were free and open to the public. In addition to their staff of seven, several volunteers helped to interpret the sites to the public. Historic New Harmony, Inc. was founded in 1974 as a private not-for-profit organization committed to the acquisition and preservation of significant structures in New Harmony and items significant to New Harmony’s development. HNH, Inc. acquired a significant number of properties and artifacts related to New Harmony’s history, and offered fee-based tours of its sites. In 1985, the University of Southern Indiana assumed responsibility for the operations of Historic New Harmony, Inc. In 1989, the State of Indi-

ana, through the Sunset Commission, recommended that there be a unified program for all of New Harmony’s historic museum activities to eliminate the divided flow of state funding to the project. This recommendation led to the unification of the DNRowned historic sites in New Harmony with the USI-owned historic properties through the Unified Program Contract of Agreement. The Contract established USI as the manager of the sites with the DNR providing curatorial support for the entire project. In 1991, the Unified Program went into effect.

MV River Days ‘Smoke on the Ohio’ entry deadline set for August 20 "Smoke on the Ohio," in its fourth year, has become a crowd favorite with visitors to Mount Vernon River Days. The barbecue cookoff is back again in 2012 with as many as 25 teams "Smokin’ & Serving." Ed Adams is the coordinator of Smoke on the Ohio, which will be located on Water Street just a few hundred yards from the "Beautiful Ohio." "The whole downtown area will be overcome by the sweet smoky aroma of slow cooked BBQ as these teams are competing for both cash and unique trophies; but,
most of all, some will walk away knowing that they beat those that were up for the challenge," Adams remarked. Judging will be in three categories: ribs, chicken and pork butts. Judging results will be announced on the main stage at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. The teams are allowed to sell any type of BBQ to the public and are not limited to the three competition categories; teams in the past have sold slabs of ribs, half chickens, BBQ sandwiches, smoked pork chops...all of competition quality. Selling
will take place on both Friday and Saturday, September 7 and 8. They will not be selling on Sunday. Adams may be reached via email at adamsed85@yahoo. com or by phone at 812838-0035. It is hoped that as many as 25 teams will be signed up by the August 20, 2012 deadline. Last year 16 teams competed. Teams will move in on Thursday night, September 6 and be ready for competition and selling to the public by the time the River Days Festival opens at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 7.

CHURCH/GENERAL Seeds of the Sower When the West was wild, a rancher went to town for supplies. He hitched his team, and went into the general store to shop. Suddenly a gunslinger engaged a stranger in a gun fight, and the shots caused the horses to bolt in terror. Instantly the farmer ran for his team. He stopped his horses, but was trampled under their feet.

“Was your wagon worth it?” asked the doctor. “Yes,” said the dying man. “My children were in it.” Should you ask God if it was worth it to send His Son to die for our sins, I know He’d say, “It was!” And the Bible says, “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.”

Sermon of the Week By The Rev. Sean Esterline, Messiah Lutheran Church Read John 15:11-13. "Greater love has no man that this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." These words of our Lord come right after His command that we love one another. Selfsacrifice is remembered in our observation of Memorial Day. Our national custom to commemorate those whom we respect and honor started after the Civil War as a tribute to the casualties and as a symbol of national reconciliation. Today, Memorial Day services are held to remember all who are no longer living, especially loved ones from our family and friends, members of our congregations, and countless others now in eternal peace and rest with our Lord Jesus Christ. We thank God that we live in a country where our freedoms have been well established and protected. Especially as Christians we are mindful of the blessing in our freedom of worship. We have the freedom to profess our own personal faith, to worship our God, how, where, and when we wish; and to receive religious instruction without fear or restriction from the state or government. Many have suffered much so that these freedoms could be preserved in our nation today; we do not forget them. Today we do not forget the men and women in the Armed Forces who have been read to serve and defend our country. Some have even suffered and died for us. And they are well know to us, because many from our midst have worn the military uniform and served our nation in war and peace in all parts of the world. You may think of your parents, your brothers or sisters, your sons or daughters, your relatives or friends. Today, thousands of our church members are serving
in the armed forces, and our church body has not forgotten them and their sacrifice on our behalf. However, every Christian memorial service must also recall the sacrificial love of our Lord Jesus Christ: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16) We know that our Lord was ready to lay down His perfect life for us. While Jesus was with His disciples on earth, He would again and again alert them to the certainty of His own crucifixion and death. Even before returning to Jerusalem for the last time, Jesus had clearly told His disciples about His readiness to lay down His life for us. While traveling near Caesarea Philippi, Simon Peter made his wonderful confession, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God," and "from that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must got to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised." Peter had been quick to criticize Jesus' intentions: "God forbid it Lord! This shall never happen to you." Remember our Lord's response to Peter? "Get behind me Satan! You are a hindrance to Me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men." (Matthew 16:13-23) Jesus' act of sacrificial love is no surprise because it had been predicted many years before by the prophet Isaiah: "Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He
was bruised for our iniquities, upon Him was the chastisement that made us whole, and by His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:4-5) In fact, don't we regularly remember the sacrificial love of our Lord whenever we partake of the Lord's Supper? It also becomes a memorial service, as Paul reminded the church in Corinth: "For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'This is My body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes." (I Corinthians 11:23-26) What greater significance can any memorial service have for you and me? In the end, though, the overtone of any Christian memorial service is a victorious one. "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:35-39) Thanks be to Jesus Christ that all your sins have been forgiven, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Reading is important over the summer As summer recess approaches, please encourage your child to read over the summer. According to the experts, students who make it a practice to read over the summer months do better in their school work as it improves their reading skills and writing skills. The following are some suggestions for you to
encourage your young reader: 1. Leave all sorts of reading materials including books, magazines, and colorful catalogs in conspicuous places around your home. 2. Let your children see you reading for pleasure in your spare time. Be a role model for reading. 3. Encourage your child to go
to the Alexandrian Public Library on a regular basis. Check out the Young Hoosier Books! The Summer Reading Program kicks off on May 30 at 6 p.m. with refreshments and magician Don Baggett. 4. When planning a summer trip, encourage your child to read up on the local point of interests. Then discuss these together as a family. 5. Encourage your middle school child to read to the younger children in the family. 6. Play games that are reading-related, i.e. board games that require players to read spaces, cards, and directions. 7. Read aloud to your child, and then encourage your child to read aloud to you and other family members. 8. If your child has difficulty reading, check out some books-on-CD from the public library.

overall health and wellness in everyday life. It also allows for screenings on possible health risks such as diabetes or heart disease. Wellness Committee members have toured other area clinics and feel that it would decrease future health insurance premium increases. North Elementary teacher, Susie Dougan, felt that many teachers have been forced to minimize or avoid doctor visits due to high out-of-pockets costs. “With the high deductible plans, I really don’t think people are going to the doctor as much,” she said. South Terrace Elementary School nurse, Julie Koester stated she felt teachers would utilize the clinic for preventive and sick care. “I think it’s a smart choice,” she added. The clinic would not only benefit those who take the school’s health insurance plan, it would be open to all employees and their families. Clinic users would also not have to give up their current primary care doctor. The clinic would merely supplement their current health care services. The only services it would not cover is acute care or broken bones. Amy Motz, North Posey’s Human Resource Manager, stated there are currently 41 clinics in place in northern area school districts. Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp stated that a two-year agreement must be entered in order to implement the clinic. The only risk involved for the district would be non-utilization, but he felt that would not be the case.

By Valerie Werkmeister The MSD of North Posey is considering a bold step towards reducing healthcare costs and rising insurance premiums for district employees and their families. An idea for an on-site clinic was presented by Wellness Committee members during last week’s, May 14, school board meeting. Establishing a clinic here could provide multiple advantages including increased focus on preventive care, less time away from work, increased screenings for possible health risks and big financial savings to employees as there would not be a cost for office visits, prescriptions or labs completed via the clinic. Sound too good to be true? Perhaps. One quote for start-up costs came to $127,000 and did not include a building. A separate building with its own entrance that is centrally located between all North Posey schools is desired. This would ensure a sense of privacy for those that chose to visit the clinic. Yet, Wellness Committee members insist the idea is a good, sound investment that needs to be implemented. The Wellness Committee was formed and has been meeting the past six months following a 30 percent increase in health insurance premiums. Their chief priority: to reduce premiums. They determined one way was to hold annual health fairs. In April, Welborn held a health fair at no cost to the district. Forty-two employees participated in the event that boasts
A North Posey junior was selected as a delegate to the 2012 Hoosier Girls State sponsored by the Indiana American Legion Auxiliary. The delegate chosen is Megan Baehl. Micah Ruholl was selected as an alternate. The event will be held June 17-23 on the campus of Indiana State University in Terre Haute. The Ladies Auxiliary of Oliver Marquis Post 278 of Poseyville is the sponsor for these delegates. Megan is the daughter of Mike and Judy Baehl of Poseyville. She is a three-year member of the volleyball and softball teams. She is also a three-year member of the Student Council and the German Club. Megan serves as the Vice President of the Class of 2013. She has been a member of the Varsity Club and P.E.E.R.S for two years. She is a member of the National Honors Society and has volunteered with the Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights. She is active with the Relay For Life and serves as a team captain and committee member for the relay. Megan is also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary. After graduation from high school, Megan plans to attend college and obtain a degree in physical therapy or nursing. Micah is the daughter of Mark and Sarah Ruholl of Poseyville. She received the Academic Excellence Award in 2010 and 2011. She was a member of the German Club for two years and is currently a member of the History Club. She is also a member of the Hoosier Academic Bowl History Team. She has volunteered with St. Anthony’s oupp Kitchen tc e and a d the t e CreCe Soup
scendo Club. After graduation, Megan plans to attend the University of Southern Indiana and major in history and education. Delegates to Hoosier Girls State must have an interest in government, have leadership abilities, meet scholarship criteria, and be of good character. The young woman must be willing to show proper respect to the American Flag and display a love for God and country. The Girls State tradition began in the late 1930s. Each summer 25,000 enthusiastic young ladies across the nation participate in Girls State
sessions. The objective of the Girls State program is to develop leadership and pride in American citizens, educate delegates about our system of government, instill a greater understanding of American traditions among our youth, and stimulate the desire to maintain and participate in our democratic government. At the close of Girls State sessions, two delegates are selected to represent their state as “Senators” at Girl Nation. At Girl Nation, which is held in Washington, D.C., they learn about government and the democratic process on a national level.

Vikings show defensive side, live to play on Memorial Day
North Posey’s Austin Bender lays down a near-perfect bunt during the win over Perry Central. Photo by Dave Pearce By Dave Pearce Members of the North Posey Viking baseball team had a lot on their minds this week. With several members of the team facing graduation on Friday night following Thursday night’s game, it would have been easy for the team to be distracted.
But the Vikings appeared to be focused from the first pitch of the game and the end result was a 5-0 sectional win over Perry Central and a date with Mater Dei in the sectional semifinal on Memorial Day at Legion Park in Huntingburg. But as must good baseball games do, this one focused on pitching and defense. “Colton Martin did an exceptional job tonight,” Viking skipper Kevin Smith said, following the game. “He was efficient and effective. I think he had only had one walk and he got out in front in the count and was just smooth tonight.” Aside from Martin, whose pitching performance was near flawless, the Viking offense found a way to give Martin all the runs he would need. The first one came in the first inning when Jared Meliff drew a walk with two out. Opposing teams know about Meliff’s speed and after a couple attempts at holding him on at first base, Meliff went to second on a wild pitch. Meliff got the green light to steal third and the throw from the catcher went into left field, allowing the Vikings to score the first run of the game without a hit in the first inning. “Jared’s speed alone is like having a triple standing in the batter’s box,” Smith said of the speedy shortstop. “He did a nice job of getting the steal and then the overthrow was just a bonus. But you have to give Perry (Central) credit. They hung around and hung around and I was concerned because sometimes when a team hangs around and starts putting the bat on the ball, they can be trouble.” But Martin took over in the bottom of the first and never looked back. He struck out the first batter he faced and Colton Motz snagged a line shot at first base and the first two outs somewhat set the tone for the remainder of the game. “Colton Motz is our quarterback and our heartbeat,” Smith said. “When he made that play in the first inning and it was a hard-hit ball and he laid out for it. Any time you have a senior giving his body and himself up, everybody else picks
up on it.” Martin struck out the next batter, facing only three in the first inning. “You have to give Colton (Martin)a lot of credit for getting his rhythm and wind-up back and getting control of his pitches,” Smith said of the junior hurler. “He moved the ball around on them and changed the eye level on them and it made a lot of difference.” But the Viking offense didn’t give Martin a whole lot of room for error until late in the game. Alec Werry lined a 3-0 pitch at the shortstop and reached first base on the single to open the second inning. But Werry was promptly picked off first base. Tyler Stolz then lined a shot to the warning track that was caught in the big Triple A baseball complex. Martin faced only three batters in the second and the Vikings appeared they could give martin a little insurance in the top of the third. Motz singled down the first base line and Austin Bender reached on an error. Cody Voeler then bunted in an attempt to move the runners over but the play went to third instead and the lead runner was cut down. A pair of fly balls ended the Viking threat. Martin gave up a single in the bottom of the third with one out but got out of the jam with ground balls and solid defense. The fourth inning saw a total of seven batters come to the plate as a Tyler Stolz walk accounted for the only baserunner. It wasn’t until the sixth inning that the Vikings finally gave Martin and their coach a bit of breathing room. Again it was Meliff who provided the spark as a misplayed ball resulted in Meliff winding up on third base. Martin then helped his own cause with a deep fly ball over the head of the center fielder that scored Meliff. Voegel moved Martin to third before a line-out and a deep fly ball stalled the inning. Again, Martin faced only four batters in the bottom of the sixth.

Lady Rappites fail to find the groove in final softball game

By Steve Joos One bad inning and an era ends. The Tecumseh Lady Braves erupted for seven runs in the top of the second inning with two outs last week and that was really all that was needed in their Class 1A Sectional softball game with New Harmony. From that point on, the Lady Braves dominated the contest, ending the last softball season in New Harmony’s history with a 13-0 rout in five innings under the 10-run rule. Sophomore pitcher Tiffany Summers pitched a perfect game, fanning nine Lady Rappites, including five in a row over the second and third innings. Seven of her nine whiffs came in the middle three frames, while the defending Class 1A State champions were building their 13-0 cushion. “She (Summers) was good, she brought it quick, she had a rise ball,” Lady Rappites’ Coach Jeff Moore explained. “Once she got two strikes, she threw that rise ball and we just couldn’t catch up to it.” Then there was the top of the second. “The second inning doomed us,” he said. “It should have been 3-0, but we didn’t give up. I’m really sad for these girls, I would have liked to have at least scored against this bunch, but we did what we could.” Allie Beard started things off in the top of the second with a walk, stole second and moved to second on a single by Mackenzie Duncan. She scored after being caught in a rundown between home and third, but getting in under third baseman Madison Worman’s throw to the plate. Emily Bailey beat an infield single to load the bases, and Katie Burkett drew a walk to force in a run and that made it 3-0. Then the errors came. A bobbled tap to second and a dropped fly ball in right field were sandwiched around a double by Cherish Lamborn and a single by Rachel Morris to score three more runs, and then Brenna Floyd singled in the last two tallies to make it 7-0 Tecumseh. “We had a pop fly that was dropped and that opened the flood gates,” Moore said. “We had some bad throws here and there and they all come back to haunt you against a good team. They’re ranked fifth for a reason. They’re good.”
Three more hits, one on a misplayed bunt, a hit batsman, a fielder’s choice and a passed ball resulted in three more runs in the top of the third, while three more runs crossed the plate in the fourth on a single by Duncan, a bunt by Tiera Rush, a walk and RBI singles by Kara Snow and Lamborn. Tecumseh was banging out 14 hits, while the Lady Rappites had trouble making contact. Kendall Morris led off the bottom of the first inning with a hard smash right at the Tecumseh second baseman and Worman lifted a high fly ball that the Lady Braves shortstop hauled in, but otherwise New Harmony couldn’t make a lot of contact. Between Worman’s pop up to third leading off the bottom of the second and Morris’ grounder to short, opening the New Harmony fourth, the Lady Rappites weren’t making any contact at all. In the fifth, after Worman flew out, Kelsey Owen hit a foul pop up which Snow was able to catch and Kendall Wilson (Coach Moore’s niece) became Summers’ ninth strikeout victim, closing the book on New Harmony’s last softball season. Moore complimented Tecumseh coach Gordon Wood and his staff for their efforts over the years and the program they’ve built. New Harmony closed its last campaign with a 4-9 record, not what Moore had hoped for at the outset of the year. ”It wasn’t what we expected, but towards the end of the year, we were playing better softball,” he said. “I know a lot of it had to do with the school closing. That was riding on a lot of their minds right now, but that’s okay. I feel for these girls.” But that one bad inning sealed the Lady Rappites’ doom. Moore thanked the fans for their support and thanked Shawn Worman for hiring him as a youth league coach in 2005. “If Shawn Worman hadn’t asked me to be a coach seven years ago, I wouldn’t be doing this right now, Moore said. Last week’s game was Moore’s last as a high school or youth softball coach. His teams went 43-5 in Rural Girls’ softball, while the Lady Rappites won 11 games during his high school tenure.
Regional loss does not tarnish tennis team’s accomplishments By Dave Pearce No matter how long North Posey High School exists, this year’s Lady Viking tennis team did something that no other tennis team will ever be able to lay claim to. They are the first girls’ team ever to win a sectional tennis championship at North Posey. Granted, North Posey’s regional matchup included perhaps the state’s best and No. 1-ranked team (in a sport without a class system). The regional also included the Pocket Athletic Conference champion Gibson Southern Titans, whose 16-1 record meant that the top two teams in the regional had a combined record of 46-1. So what did that mean for Coach Brandon Barrett’s 12-6 squad going into the regional. “I just told them that no matter what, they had done something that no other North Posey team had ever done,” Barrett said. “So just go out and play loose and enjoy the opportunity.” But the sectional championship was not by accident. Ironically, it comes in Barrett’s fourth year of coaching the sport he loves. “My first year of coaching we were 6-9 and by second year we were 13-4 and this year we were 12-6 in the regular season,” Barrett explained. “To get 25 wins in two years, that’s really saying something about the girls and the program and hopefully, that is where we are headed in the future.” If the coach’s efforts and hard work pay off, the tennis program has a bright future. “Hopefully we can build on that,” Barrett
said. “I told the girls tonight that now when they come back to North Posey’s gym, they can look up at the banner and see where the team in 2012 won the first sectional. But we really wanted to win tonight so we could advance and play the No. 1 team in the state but that didn’t happen.” Cory Titzer of Gibson Southern defeated Shelby Ackerman at No. 1 singles by a score of 6-1, 6-0. At, No. 2 singles, Alyssa Goedde defeated Natalie Thomas by a score of 6-4, 6-2. At No. 3 singles, Haylee Decker of Gibson Southern defeated Bri Brown by a score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. At No 1 doubles, the senior combination of Wendi Simpson and Kendall Reidford was defeated by Rachel Sensmeier and Alyssa Kiesel by a count of 6-3, 7-5. At No. 2 doubles, Sydney Fenton and Mariah Chamberlain defeated Lindsay Droegge and Megan Durchholz by scores of 6-3, 6-3. So did this come as a surprise to the coach? “Actually, no,” Barrett said. “Since day one this year, even the girls have brought this up, that the day after the call-out meeting I told them that with the talent we have, which is the best I have ever had, I knew we had something special going and I knew that we could win the sectional. We have said that throughout the season. This is the first time I have had a team hit their stride at just the right time.” But in order to do so, the Vikings would have to come back and beat the defending sectional Mater Dei Wildcats, a team that had defeated the Lady Vikings with relative

Split of sectional games not good enough, Vikings finish at .500 By Dave Pearce In smaller schools, one sports team generally knows how another sports team fares. Such must have been the case for the Mater Dei softball Wildcats. After watching their highly-favored tennis team go down to North Posey in the finals of last week’s sectional, the Lady Wildcats were at the top of their game on Thursday. The result was a 6-1 win for Mater Dei. “We just couldn’t get any hits going for us,” North Posey Coach Gary Gentil said after the game. “You have to give credit to their pitcher as she moved the ball around quite a bit on us and did a heck of a job.” Early on, it appeared that the Lady Wildcats, who drew home team status at Forest Park, might have a slight case of nerves. The first defensive play of the game resulted in an error and lead-off hitter Megan Redman winding up on first base. But after that, the Lady Wildcats tightened up the ship and the only North Posey run came on a Deana Lindauer home run in the top of the seventh inning. “I don’t know if it was a case of nerves or what but we were just never able to get our timing down with their pitcher,” Gentil said. Conversely, the Lady Wildcats were able to find a groove on North Posey sophomore hurler Ashley Schoor in the second inning. With two out, the Lady Wildcats got backto-back doubles and a slap bunt allowed the Wildcats to score two runs. But Schoor and her teammates were able to able to get out of the jam with a ground ball. But the Lady Vikings still trailed 2-0 at the end of two innings. “Ashley has done a heck of a job all year,” Gentil said. “One of the main things she has been working on is placement of the ball. She works so hard with Jordan Redman, the pitching coach. Losing the players we did last year and then Shelly Schmitt, a four-year pitcher, most people thought we probably wouldn’t make it to double digits in wins this year. But we finished at 13-13. And we let some games get away from us. And we were able to finish 4-4 in a tough conference.” The Vikings were unable to make any noise in the top of the third but Mater Dei picked up where they left off as the first batter of the third inning lined a single up the middle. Gentil thought that a little bit different look might keep the Lady Vikes in the game so he brought in freshman hurler Hay-

really nice ball club and we came on strong these last couple of weeks.” On a night where both teams had times when they didn’t answer opportunity’s knock, Gibson Southern got a break when Miley Eberhard led off the eleventh inning with a single, stole second and moved to third on a bunt by Kayleigh Fox. Norris then followed with a shot over the left field fence which put the Lady Titans in front. “She yanked it out,” Bell said. “We missed a spot, put the ball up and she didn’t miss the pitch. She put the ball out of the park.” Norris helped put the game into extra innings when she scored the tying run in the top of the seventh inning, after scoring Gibson Southern’s first run of the night in the top of the sixth. Fox walked with one out in the top of the seventh, but pinch runner Halee Baehl was forced a second by Norris, leaving the Lady Cats an out away from a berth in the Sectional championship game, but then Maggie Ritter beat out a sharp grounder to second and Megan Ritter doubled home Norris with the tying run. Still, Mount Vernon had a chance in the bottom of the seventh as Amy Siebert led off with a double and went to third on an error. Walks to Ellie Weilbrenner and Erica Winiger loaded the bases with nobody out. Abby Oden lifted a fly ball to right field and Seifert attempted to score, but she was thrown
out at the plate, so instead of the winning run coming in, all of a sudden there were two outs. Andrea Dick walked to reload the bases, but McKenzie Stratton fanned, sending the game into extra innings. “We didn’t run third base well,” Bell said of the sacrifice fly turned double play. “We kind of hesitated on getting back to the bag and tagging up. Their girl made a great throw and I still thought we got around her (and the ball apparently came out of Lady Titan catcher Kaylee Rexing’s glove). Of course, I would have thought that she got around if she’d been standing there waiting for her. If we scored on that play, we’d have won the ball game, but it didn’t happen.” The Lady Cats left the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh, one of four times when they juiced the sacks and couldn’t cash in. Bell credited Gibson Southern pitcher BreAnna Wilzbacher with getting the ball in when she needed to, adding that were several Lady Cats who left runners on by not producing themselves. Seifert did collect five hits on the night, while a number of Lady Cats had two hits each. For their struggles with bunting and clutch hits, the Lady Cats were able to take

a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third when Oden beat out a bunt, Seibert tripled her in and Weilbrenner singled in the Mount Vernon shortstop. That big inning was short-circuited when the next three batters struck out. Norris also put Gibson Southern on the scoreboard in the top of the sixth with a leadoff single, and then she came around on hits by Ritter and Alissa Luigs, breaking a Sectional scoreless streak of 12 and two-thirds innings for Stratton. “If we get a couple more hits and make a couple more plays, we win the ball game,” Bell said. “Our pitcher (Stratton) threw well both tonight and last night. I’m really disappointed for her.” The Lady Wildcats just didn’t put the Lady Titans away, Bell said, adding that the coaches have been talking about that all year with the team. Stratton has a strong defense behind her, but her pitching keeps a lot of opposing batters under warps, mainly because she moves her pitches around. Wilzbacher’s off-speed offerings kept the Lady Cats off-balance, the coach added. And those offerings came

By Steve Joos Jon Hoehn was doing pretty well in his 400-meter dash heat at Thursday’s Evansville Regional boys’ track meet, leading as the runners entered their final turn. But then he started winding down. The Mount Vernon senior seemed to run out of steam in the stretch and fell back, finally finishing fifth in the heat and posting a time of :51.23. “I feel for sorry for Jon,â€? Wildcats’ Coach Steve Brenton said. “I’m disappointed. He had the lead with what‌ about 350 or so and lanes four, five and six came up on him. We knew about lanes four and five. Lane six (Forest Park’s Victor Wayer) was kind of unknown. I thought Jon could get him, I thought he ran a nice race. That’s one of the best races of the year. He left it all on the track. You hate to see somebody finish fourth and think that you could have done more, but Jon finished fifth and left it all on the track. He had a good day’s work.â€? The top three finishers in each event moved on to this weekend’s state meet at Bloomington. Wayer grabbed that last qualifying spot with a time of: 50.68, just over a half-second faster than Hoehn. After the Sectional, Bren-
point ahead of Princeton and Tell City (which tied for 33rd place with four points) and a point behind the deadlock at 29th place between South Putnam, Heritage Hills and North Putnam. Harrison won the meet with 83 points, well ahead of Terre Haute South (58). Terre Haute North (48) Gibson Southern (42) and North (35) rounded out the top five. *Among the girls, “Erica just had a fantastic race,� Lady Wildcats Coach Jackie Maier said. “She finished strong, which she sometimes struggles to do since she goes out so hard. She just ran a perfect race and didn’t give up. I was just so proud of her.� Maier wasn’t unhappy with the way the team performed, even though some of the expectations for the meet weren’t met. The 400-meter relay team, for instance, hoped to break the school record in that event, which they almost accomplished a week earlier at the Sectional. The team was unable to do that, which left Maier disappointed for them, but she could not fault their effort. “They ran a respectable time,� she said. “But they would have to run just an exceptional race to make it to the state level. We have a very tough Regional.� McCormick will run in
the first heat at Bloomington, which is considered the slower heat. Maier said that the senior’s goal is to better her own school record and end her career on a good note, representing the school. McCormick also anchored the 3,200-meter relay team and she will be missed in that event next year, but Maier is excited about a number of girls who will be back. Most of the 400-relay team will be back, which is promising in light of the team’s assault on the school record in that event. Foster, who qualified in two events, is just a sophomore and has been an impressive performer most of the time, Maier said, but a case of the nerves may have hampered her at the Regional. “It’s a learning experience,� the coach said. “I told that to all the young ones, Toni (Waddell) included. They’ll all use that experience.� Waddell ran the 1,600-meters after running the leadoff leg of the 3,200-relay and didn’t perform up to her expectations in that event, once again a victim of nerves. Kellen Ray was highly seeded in the 300-relays and placed as a freshman, which also has the Lady Wildcats excited about the future, Maier said.
Young Viking Tennis Camp is slated for June 11-13 The boy’s and girl’s tennis camp will take place June 11-June 13 at the North Posey High School tennis courts. June 15 will be a rain make-up day.

ton was concerned about how Hoehn started out when he had a slow start. This time, the senior took the first corner better and had the wind at his back on back side. “You could tell he had the obvious lead,� the coach said. “I was hoping that at this time of year, he would have enough, but he was out of gas. And when you car runs out of gas, you’re not going anywhere and when your body runs out of oxygen you’re not going anywhere.� Hoehn was in anaerobic oxygen debt over the last 10 meters, as his movements became more erratic and he stumbled across the finish line. It was a rough way to end a great season, Brenton said. “We were hoping to get him up there (the state meet) with Erica (McCormick, who qualified for the girls’ meet),� he said. “One boy, one girl, go up there and watch some good track meets. We’ll just go up there and cheer Erica on.� As it turned out, it will just be one Lady Wildcat at Bloomington. There could have been a boy, but he ran out of gas at the end. The four points Hoehn scored in the Regional put Mount Vernon in 32nd place among the teams participating at Central Stadium, a

at the worst possible moment for the Lady Wildcats. On Tuesday, the Lady Cats made the plays as they blanked Princeton 3-0 in their tourney opener. Stratton tossed a two-hitter and the defense made the plays behind her as the Mount Vernon sophomore allowed just baserunners en route to the win. “When you get pitching like that and you get good defense behind a pitcher who’s throwing like that, good things are going to happen,” Bell said. “We got some big hits when we needed to right there in the second inning and then scratched out another one later on and with McKenzie throwing the way she was and the kids playing defense, that’s the name of the game.” Stratton’s ball was moving up, in and all around to keep the Lady Tigers off-balance. Kristin Burrell doubled with two out in the bottom of the second inning and D’Nell Greenwell got on leading off the third when Seifert’s throw on her grounder to short pulled Weilbrenner off the bag. Those were the only Lady Tigers to reach base. A pair of ground outs enabled Greenwell to make it to third, but that was as close to scoring as Princeton would get. Mount Vernon gave Stratton all the runs she would need in the top of the second inning. Weilbrenner led off with a single and after Rhylee Ford and Oden each fanned, Dick slapped an RCI double to left field. Stratton and Madison Denning brought the Lady Wildcat outfielder around with two-out singles. “We got some good hits that one inning and the rest of the night, we couldn’t get any hits,” Bell said. “We got some good hits, but we just couldn’t get them put together.” An infield single by Seifert, a ground out by Weilbrenner and a two-out single by Oden produced an insurance run for the Lady Wildcats in the top of the sixth. Mount Vernon fielders victimized Princeton catcher Kennedy Christy twice Tuesday. In the first inning, Tylyn Tanner’s running catch in center field robbed Christy of extra bases and a stab by Seifert retired Christy on her next trip to the plate. Mount Vernon closed out its season with a 15-13 record.

untimely errors and a lack of timely hitting put the team in a hole that they couldn’t climb out of, despite a late rally as they fell to visiting Owensville 8-6. “At the beginning of the game, we started off making errors and striking out a lot,” Coach Zach Voegel said. “But towards the end, we played better defense and our bats came around. We were down by six early, but we only lost by two, so I was proud of the way we battled back at the end.” Owensville took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but Red came back to knot things up in the bottom of the inning, only to have the Gibson County team tack on five more tallies in the next two innings to open an 8-3 lead. Red battled back with three runs in the sixth inning and put the first two runners on base in the bottom of the seventh, but were unable to get anything else going. “We left about 12 runners on base,” Voegel said. “This is something that you don’t want to do, but it was an im-

provement over the last few games that we’ve had. I’m glad to see the kids come together as a team.” Carson Martin came in after an injury and collected two hits off the bench for Red. Caleb O’Risky had two hits, while Bo Cox and Michael Sims each had hits. Dalton Rankin was on base three times, drawing a pair of walks while being hit once, while Christian Lebhart walked and Ethan Rose beat out an infield single. Cox doubled in the first inning, while Martin doubled in the seventh as Red loaded the bases on a single by O’Risky, Martin’s two-bagger and when Grant Scheller was hit by a pitch. They were stranded, however, as Cox and Martin both fanned and Conner Voegel flew out to right field. No games were played Monday due to the Memorial Day holiday. Red did get enough offense to pull to within two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Martin and O’Risky each
singled, and then everybody was safe when the Owensville third baseman couldn’t come up with a place to throw a hot smash by Cox. Sims singled in two runs, but was thrown out when he got a late start on a hit by Ryan Daugherty. Cox scored on that play, but Red couldn’t get anyone else in. The game was a major improvement over Wednesday’s contest, when VFW rocked Red 14-0 in five innings at Fort Branch. Red stranded 19 runners in that game, while once again struggling with a porous defense, at least in the early going. Last week’s game with Oakland City was called because of Sectional practice at the North Posey baseball field. On Wednesday, St. Wendel whitewashed homestanding Owensville 9-0 behind the pitching of Kurt Wildeman after posting a victory over the visiting Haubstadt Merchants earlier in the week.
21 girls playing this year and I think we can plug some of these girls in and compete. And our jayvee team has lost only one match in the past two years (24-1) and that says something about the jayvee program.” “Chris Clements at Mater Dei is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and I saw what she was doing with her feeder programs,” Barrett said. “I knew I had to get the camps going in the summer and get a little interest as fourth graders and then get them into the middle school program as sixth graders. Once they get to jayvee because by the time they get here, they know what to expect so now instead of getting freshmen that are raw and have never played, I am starting to see them coming in knowing how to hit the ball and when they come in at jayvee, they already know what they are
doing and we can go out there and get some work done instead of just teaching them how to hit the ball.” Barrett says he sees nothing but blue skies for the future of North Posey tennis. After all, it had to start somewhere and now it has!
North Posey Tennis, from Page B1 played with a different lineup.” Using the same girls, Barrett settled Brown at No. 3 singles and switched her with Megan Durchholz who went to No. 2 doubles. “It worked out just perfect,” Barrett said. “Actually, the line-up we used the last two weeks and in the sectional was the line-up I had put together for the very first match of the year. I switched it at match 2 and went with that line-up for a good ten matches. Then, we went back to the original line-up and that worked out.” But Barrett said even the sectional draw favored the Vikings. He wanted to stay away from Mount Vernon, a team that had defeated the Lady Vikings just three weeks ago by sweeping all three singles spots. But Mater Dei eliminated Mount Vernon and the Lady Vikings defeated Evansville Central.
“Going into the final, we hadn’t beaten Mater Dei in three years but I knew we had a shot,” Barrett said. “I thought we might sneak out a win in singles and Bri Brown came through at No. 3 singles. Two of the biggest upsets I have seen as a coach was us beating Mater Dei and then Bri Brown winning at No. 3 singles. She played a girl who has played singles all her career. She played No. 2 singles all last year and this year played three singles all year. Bri had played maybe seven singles matches. Bri won that first set in a tiebreak and then wins the second set 6-1. Who would have thought.” Barrett will have to replace four seniors come next season but the setback in the regional has only strengthened Barrett’s resolve to his team and the program. “The program is on the up,” Barrett said. “I have had

Viking baseball, from Page B1 Wes Harness was hit by a pitch to open the seventh Jake Bender then came in to provided a pinch-hit single to left. Austin Bender then laid down the perfect sacrifice bunt to put two runners in scoring position. Voelker then singled up the middle to score two runs, brining up Meliff. He doubled to leave runners at second and third . With one out, the Commodores brought in a new pitcher to face Martin but Martin flied deep to center to score Voelker and that was more than enough. “I didn’t really feel safe until the last out but getting those three runs in the top of the seventh allowed Colton to continue to relax,” Smith said. “He didn’t have to throw a bunch of pitches to get the outs.” Martin faced only three batters in the bottom of the seventh as one flew out and the others grounded to short. That set up the stage for a renewal of the rivalry between North Posey and Mater Dei. The Vikings edged the Wildcats 6-5 early in the season at North Posey. “You can call our win tonight ‘small ball’ but it is just the fundamentals of baseball executed,” Smith said. We haven’t always done that but tonight shows you what can happen positively if you can do it.”

hee New Harmony School students and personnel released hhen bblue l and white balloons into the bright, sunny sky on Tuesday, they showed their true colors. The closing of their beda loved school dampened, but could not defeat, their spirits. lo School Board President Jim Scarafia shared some of his fondest memories of New Harmony School, or NHS. Scarafia has served on the school board for 10 years, the past eight as president. Both his children, Katie and Kristopher, graduated from NHS in 2008 and 2011, respectively. “I’ll always remember the camaraderie among everyone and the willingness to help pitch in to do whatever it is—whether it is to set up a banquet or work at a concession stand or to raise money. I like the ability of all of the kids to be involved in everything; there’s no one that gets left out,” he states. “I will always remember the commitment of the teachers and the years of service they have put in.” Scarafia reserves a special place in his heart for the annual Harmonie Hundred bike ride. He has organized the successful event to help finance Washington, D.C. trips for students. Indeed, Harmonie Hundred has brought in around 70 percent of the funding for these once-in-a-lifetime trips. “One special memory is the Harmonie Hundred Ride that has raised money for the D.C. trips, and both of my kids have been able to go on different trips,” he comments and then adds, “I’ve enjoyed watching both of my kids play in all of their sports and being able to attend their school events.” For her part, New Harmony alum Dawn Worman remembers the school as a family affair. Her husband Shawn received his diploma with the final graduating class at the old school in 1987. In 1988, Dawn marched to “Pomp and Circumstance” with the first graduating class at the new (current) building. She followed in the footsteps of her sister, a 1980 graduate, and her mother, a 1956 graduate. “We had 23 kids in my [graduating] class, and I pretty much know where every single one of them is. We still stay in contact through Facebook, email. I don’t think that many classes can actually say that,” she says. “It really is like family. I know sometimes that’s hard for people to grasp that and understand that, but when you go through year after year after year with the same core set of kids, they almost become like brothers and sisters to you instead of just classmates.” The Wormans’ son Blayne graduated from NHS last year, and they had hoped their daughter Madison, a junior this fall, would continue the family tradition. “We suspected this day could be coming. It’s been a threat as long as I can remember. We really hoped this day wouldn’t come,” she admits. “Even though we all had been prepared for it for years, it’s a little bit different when it actually does happen and actually hits home. It’s been a tough day.” Another NHS alum and retired teacher Becky Smyth relates that she was relieved to be scheduled to work at Harmonie State Park during the closing ceremonies at NHS. She said she didn’t think she could have stood to see the retiring of the U.S. and Indiana flags. The American Legion Color Guard played “Taps” while the fourth-graders lowered the flags for the last time. “A special memory for me is coming to New Harmony in the spring of 1959 from Pennsylvania,” she recalls. “I thought I had come to a wonderful place. For sure, I did. I was in the 8th grade, and the 8th grade class was very special. I’m still friends with them.” In fact, she is married to one of them, Fred Martin. Eight years after she, Fred and her classmates graduated in 1963, Smyth returned to NHS as a third grade teacher, a post she held for three years before a transfer to the first grade class, where she stayed another 28 years. “As a teacher, nothing is more special than to see students learn after they’ve struggled really hard with something—to see when they finally get it,” she reflects. “It’s an honor to earn their faith and trust and to see the kids grow up to be successful, happy adults.” Smyth leaves no doubt that her life in New Harmony, where she and her husband still reside, has blessed her richly. “I’m thankful for my life and thankful I could participate in New Harmony School as a student and a teacher,” she says. During the closing ceremonies at NHS, students and personnel made their gratitude clear as well. They wore t-shirts with these words from Dr. Seuss: “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” They all leave with a legacy of excellence that will remain theirs, no matter the places they will go.

Marilyn Scurlock, long led by the B-I-B-L-E Marilyn Scurlock of Mount Vernon has long been led by the B-I-B-LE. Not long after she and her husband Jack moved here from the Indianapolis area in 1966, she joined a nondenominational Bible study at the home of Audry Knight Blackburn, a Southern Baptist preacher’s wife. Later, she joined the Bible study at Mount Vernon General Baptist Church, where she has been a long-time member. For seven years, she studied also with Bible Study Fellowship in Evansville, digging deep into several books of the Bible.
Certainly, Scurlock lives by biblical teaching and applies the Golden Rule to her relationships. For several years, she has visited with residents at Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on Thursday afternoons, before and after the 2 p.m. church service there led by Rev. Dallas Robinson, Beverly Tucker and Sharon Cox. She has helped to provide dozens of quilts to warm the hearts and bodies of area residents through quilting with the Mount Vernon General Baptist quilting circle.
She helps those in her immediate neighborhood as well. Whenever she cooks a meal, she shares it with a lifelong friend, and she organizes collections for neighbors, for example, when floral arrangements are needed for a funeral. In times past, she has also enjoyed cooking for ministers and staff and still helps with funeral dinners at Mount Vernon General Baptist Church. In her leisure, Scurlock remains an avid exercise enthusiast. She has been a member of Curves in Mount Vernon for almost 11 years.

In addition, she participates in the Tuesday senior exercise class offered by the Posey County Council on Aging. She and her husband Jack will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on December 17, 2012. They have been blessed with two children and five grown grandchildren in addition to one great granddaughter, their beloved Lily. Marilyn is a retired customer service representative for Sigeco while Jack is a retired custodian from the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon.
