Flooding in Point breaks 60-year record

By Dave Pearce Records appear to be falling in Point Township. But the water level isn’t.

That is not a good thing if you are a resident of the area and have seen what has happened to the area during the Flood of 2011.

“Point Township is going to crest at 55 and the old record is 54,” Federal Emergency Management Director Larry Robb said on Sunday afternoon. “That record of 54 was set in 1950. This will be a full foot above that 1950 level. This will be the fourth highest level ever recorded at the J.T. Myers Locks and Dam.” Robb pointed out that while residents of the area have done everything they could do, there are houses that are currently sustaining damage in Posey’s southwestern-most region.

“There’s just no way to know how bad the damage is until the water goes down.” Robb said. “Point Township has evacuated a lot of people in the last week or so. A lot of people saw

it coming and took steps way in advance of it getting to the critical level.”

Just as in years past, Point Township Church of the Nazarene has served as a shelter for those seeking refuge from the excessive water but while the people there will remain dry, Robb said that even the main road to the church would be closed later on Sunday evening to everything but large vehicles.

“Bonebank Road will be closed and all the other roads around it are flooded,” Robb explained. “But again, you are looking at a 60-year record flood.”

Robb said that the church has generously opened its facilities but that many in the area are staying with friends and family while a few have brought campers to the church parking lot.

“They are a hard-working group of people down there and they look out for each other,”

Americans celebrate death of bin Laden The mastermind of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks -- the worst terrorist attacks on American soil -- was killed by U.S. forces Monday in a mansion in Abbottabad, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, U.S. officials said.

Washington is nine hours behind Pakistan.

Four others in the compound also were killed. One of them was bin Laden’s adult son, and another was a woman being used as a shield by a male combatant, the officials said.

Brennan said it is his understanding that the woman was one of bin Laden’s wives, and that she “reportedly was used as a shield to shield bin Laden from the incoming fire.”

Cynthiana alums to meet

Marrs Fire Dept. opens house

Port info meeting set

The Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana-Posey County Committee will host a noon meeting on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at Western Hills Country Club to learn more about the Port of Indiana- Mount Vernon, its businesses and its affect on our region.

ThePCN

(USPS 439-500)

He added that it was his understanding that bin Laden picked up a weapon and was killed in the firefight with the U.S. forces carrying out the assault. “He was engaged in a firefight,” Brennan said of bin Laden.

“Whether or not he got off any rounds, I don’t know.”

As reactions poured in from all over the world to the announcement that terrorist leader bin Laden was killed Sunday in a U.S. operation, Obama declared Monday “a good day for America.”

“Our country kept its commitment to see that justice is done,” Obama said. The world, he said, is a better place because of bin Laden’s death, and the successful operation reminds Americans that there is “nothing we can’t do” when they work together.

Sewer rate hike is less than expected

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon City Council unanimously approved the third and final reading of the sewer rate ordinance (numbered 11-02) at the Monday, April 11, meeting. Council could pass along good news to city sewer customers: the rate increase for sewer only has dropped from a proposed 25.4 percent to 19.3 percent.

After the meeting, Mayor John Tucker explained what the increase would mean in dollars and cents.

Sewer customers now pay $7.40 per 1,000 gallons usage; the new rate will go up $1.43 to $8.83 per 1,000 gallons usage. The average monthly sewer bill runs $29.60 per 4,000 gallons; now, the monthly bill will run $35.32 per 4,000 gallons—a $5.72 average monthly increase.

When set alongside sewer rates for 13 nearby cities, including Evansville, Newburgh, Rockport, Dale and Elberfeld, the new sewer rate falls squarely in the middle.

Tucker said that he could sleep easier at night knowing the new sewer rate is lower than estimated earlier.

By Pam Robinson The Posey County Alcohol Board voted a unanimous “no” Tuesday and thus denied the license of the Peerless Too Tavern, located at 133 Main Street in Mount Vernon. The three-member board includes President Keith Weidman, Secretary Jackson Higgins and New Harmony resident Ivan Alsop. Recording and witnessing the meeting was Walter Scott Bidwell, a 21-year veteran with the Indiana State Excise Police, the law enforcement division of the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission.

Bidwell advised Peerless Too owner Steve Loehr, present for the entire proceeding, that he has the right to appeal the decision through the State of Indiana. In a telephone interview, Bidwell explained that the Posey County Alcohol Board’s action and recommendation would be presented to the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission in Indianapolis the beginning of May. The commission will then weigh in with its vote on the future of Peerless Too. If the commission also votes to deny the tavern its license, Loehr may then appeal its decision within 15 days. Bidwell added that the Peerless Too may remain open during this process.

The Peerless Too was deemed to have committed repeated violations that called for the board’s action.

Bidwell and the board noted that Loehr had been warned about and cited with violations in past hearings, but that conditions at the tavern had become “worse and worse.”

No remonstrators had been present at previous meetings of the board, but prominent community leaders appeared to present evidence that Peerless Too’s operation threatens public safety and presents a public nuisance. Kay Cox and Judy Winiger of the Cox-Winiger Development group, Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers, Detective Thomas Rueger of the Mount Vernon Police Department and Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat.

Winiger, Clowers and Rueger testified with prepared statements and supporting documents. Beloat spoke briefly also.

A 10-year veteran of the Mount Vernon Police Department assigned to the night shift, Rueger provided the bulk of the scathing evidence. He testified to 52 complaints through dispatch against Peerless Too since January 2010. Rueger stated the complaints did not include cell phone calls from individuals “too scared to identify themselves.”

He noted the shooting outside Peerless Too in February 2008, and two stabbing incidents there on January 10 and February 7 this year, when responding officers received cooperation from no one inside.

Foot patrol reports broken bottles outside the tavern every night.

Rueger testified also that former

Fine Arts open house set

The Posey County News • Serving the county since 1882 • www.poseycountynews.com

The Mount Vernon Senior High School Fine Arts Academy will host an Open House on Thursday, May 12 at 7 p.m.

Students and families interested in the Academy are encouraged to attend and to learn how they might take advantage of the comprehensive arts curriculum offered to students.

Following a brief overview of the Academy, participants will have an opportunity to meet with faculty, staff and current students.Of special interest are opportunities available to home schooled students and students from area high schools where the arts receive less attention and support. Dana Taylor, Director of Vocal Music notes, “while all schools support the arts, it seems that Mount Vernon Senior High School is the only school in the area that celebrates them by offering such rich and varied opportunities in theatre, music and the visual arts.”

Rate Hike, from Page 1A million to complete the $14 million sewer project. The remaining $6.5 million is covered by a grant awarded by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs for the project. The interest rate for the loan

has been finalized at a low 2.62 percent, lower than expected, so city sewer customers benefit with a lower rate increase on their bills.

The bond ordinance for the sewer project (numbered 11-01) passed final reading as well.

In other business: •The second reading of the truck ordinance to limit semi-truck traffic on Kimball and neighboring streets was voted down. Of the five council members, Andy Hoehn was the only member to cast a yes vote.

In discussion prior to the vote, council cited safety concerns with trucks exiting to the left out of Southwind Port and emphasized that truck traffic on Kimball and

surrounding streets is temporary until a traffic light can be installed at the port, hopefully within a year and a half.

•Councilman Steve Fuelling presented a draft copy of an amendment to the trash and garbage ordinances. Fuelling is proposing the use of city-owned trash containers and switching to an automated pick up and dump system. The system could help eliminate the crow problem since open food sources would be eliminated, and it could potentially reduce employee injuries.

•When meeting as the water utility board, council awarded Clark Dietz the engineering on Phase 3 of the water works project.

•Resident L.B. Jackson appeared before council to request bringing taxi cab service back to Mount Vernon. He was directed to appear before the Board of Works as outlined by the city ordinance concerning this issue.

•Mayor Tucker presented a silo demolition update. He explained that the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM, shuts down asbestos removal at the silos when the wind velocity goes over 10 mph. Thus, Klenck has been delayed in tearing down the silos.

The Mount Vernon City Council will meet again Monday, April 25, 2011, at 7 p.m. in the city hall annex.

employees at Peerless Too have said they are told not to call police in case of trouble and that bartenders carry pepper spray to protect themselves.

The unwritten rule for Mount Vernon police officers, Rueger said, is never go in Peerless Too with less than one person to assist.

A barge worker from New Orleans arrested at Peerless Too advised, according to Detective Rueger, that the Peerless Too carries the reputation among New Orleans’ river workers as a place “to go get guns, to go get drugs and to get in fights.”

TURKEY BBQ DIRECTIONS 1. Pat the turkey pieces dry with paper towels. Salt the turkey pieces well all over. Let sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.

2. Make the sauce. Sauté the onions in butter until soft (but not browned), about 3-4 minutes on medium heat. Add the other sauce ingredients and simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.

3. Prepare your grill for high direct heat on one side, and quite low indirect heat on the other side. To do this using a gas grill turn on only half of the burners. If using a charcoal grill, leave one side of your grill free of coals. If using a gas grill, preheat covered for at least 15 minutes.

4. Rub oil all over the turkey pieces. Clean the grill grates with a grill grate scraper. Wipe down the grates with a paper towel soaked in oil.

5. Lay the turkey pieces down on the hot grill, skin side down, to get an initial sear on the turkey. Pay attention because the fat in the turkey may cause flare ups. If this happens be prepared to move the piece to a cooler side of the grill temporarily, or have a spay bottle of water on hand to douse the flames a bit if they get too high. Sear the turkey on the skin side for 3-4 minutes. Once the skin of a piece starts to get browned, move the piece to the cool side of the grill, turning it over so that the skin side is now up. This way the fat under the skin will melt into the meat, basting it, during the next slow-cooking phase.

6. Once you’ve moved all the turkey to the cool side of the grill, cover the grill and let the turkey slow-cook for 20 minutes without looking. Check every 15-20 minutes after that, because everyone’s grill is different. The turkey should cook for at least 1 1/2 hours after the initial sear, probably longer.

(I think we cooked these pictured for 2 1/2 hours.) Barbecue by definition must be slow cooking over low heat.

7. After about an hour, start to paint the turkey with the barbecue sauce. Paint only the top part (skin side) to start.

Cover and wait another 20 minutes or so. Then flip the turkey over and paint the undersides. Why wait? You want the sauce to sink in, adhere to the turkey and solidify a little; this way it will not drip down into the grill as much. Cover and wait another 15 to 20 minutes.

Depending on how big your turkey pieces are, and your specific grill set up, the time it takes for your turkey pieces to be done will vary. To test for doneness you can insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, not touching the bone. Take the turkey off the grill at 170°F to 175°F for thighs and legs, 165°F for breasts.

Or if you don’t have a meat thermometer, cut into one of the pieces with a knife. The juices should run clear.

If they run pink, the meat needs to be cooked longer.

You can continue to baste with the sauce every 15 minutes or so until the meat is done.

8. When the meat is just about ready to take off the grill, you can do a final sear on the skin side. Just place the pieces skin side down on the hot part of the grill. Watch it so that it just browns, not burns. It should take 1-2 minutes..

Serve with extra sauce and plenty of napkins!

Serves 4-8.

Assignments after ordination included associate pastor, St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral, Bard-

stown, Kentucky, and chaplain of Bethlehem High School, Bardstown, 1987-1990; part-time associate pastor, St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Louisville, 1992-1993; metropolitan judicial vicar and director of tribunals, 1993-1998; administrator, St. Peter Claver Parish, Louisville, 1994-1996; chaplain, Presentation Academy, Louisville, 1995-1997; pastor, St. Augustine Parish, Lebanon, Kentucky, 1996-2002; defender of the bond and judge of the diocesan tribunal, 1998-2008; pastor, Holy Trinity Parish, 2002-present and vicar general, 2008-present.

David Vibbert to lead services on May 8 The evangelist and singer Dave Vibbert will be ministering at the Independent Pentecostal Assembly Church, located at 312 Mulberry Street in Mount Vernon on Sunday,

May 8, 2011. There will be two services- one in the morning at 10:30 a.m. and the second service will be during the evening 6 p.m. services. The public is invited to attend.

ment, military, media, education, churches, family and business. The service will include praise band music intermixed with prayer.

Local churches have marked the National Day of Prayer for three consecutive years now. This year is the first year worshippers have gathered at the high school football field.

Ousley hopes to boost participation in the service.

Organizers include Harvestime Temple, First Baptist

Church and Mount Vernon General Baptist Church all in Mount Vernon along with Lighthouse Assembly of God in New Harmony and Mount Zion General Baptist Church in Wadesville.

“I think it’s important for the Christians in this community to unite together and to be praying for our nation,” Ousley comments.

“Several Scriptures come to mind—praying for kings and those in authority in I

Timothy. We can just be in prayer for the place that God has put us and to desire to see God at work in the particular nation where we are, and for us as Bible believing Christians to unite together and stand on that purpose.”

For more information, Ousley notes the local Facebook page, Mount Vernon National Day of Prayer, and the National Day of Prayer website at www.nationaldayofprayer.org.

Mount Zion General Baptist Church ordains two new Deacons Mt. Zion GBC celebrates 136 years of ministry in the community this year and the excitement just keeps on building steam. As pastor I am proud that God has permitted Lisa and I to serve alongside of some great people. Since this is the only church I have served in as pastor I must say that I am only learning with each day how to do my job.

One lesson I have learned over the past few years is that I am not alone. I have my wife to lend her tremendous wisdom and for that I am glad. Most importantly I have learned that there is noth-

ing I do outside of the grace of God. I have watched as God established His purpose in our church and the community which comprises the church. In doing so we have witnessed Mt. Zion grow into a stronger church, more than doubling in size in the past few years.

What is the cause of this growth? I believe that primarily the responsibility for this growth is discovered in the Bible.

Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make

disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

(Matthew 28:18-20 NRSV) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8 NRSV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Fa-

ther except through me. (John 14:6 NRSV) The Bible is full of instruction for the church if we will only give it the full consideration it deserves. Because of this Mt. Zion GBC has witnessed continual growth and honestly, I don’t expect to see an end in this growth. The Bible is clear on this matter. The church is never given permission to stop reaching out to people with the Message of Jesus Christ.

The role of ministry has also changed at Mt. Zion GBC. Historically speaking, the church relied upon

Mt. Zion recently held an ordination service to welcome two new Deacons to their Ministry Team. Front row (left to right): Wanda Redman, (Betty Stierley), Annette Slygh, Patty Lutton, Zelma Holbrook and Lisa Sellers. Back row (left to right): Martin Redman, Art Stierley, Kevin Slygh, Eric Lutton, Tom Holbrook and Pastor Rick Sellers.

the pastor to do most of the work with the help of a few individuals. This work begins to be quite cumbersome however, when the church experiences the type of growth we have had.

A few years ago the church began searching for biblically qualified men to step up to the leadership role in the ministry of the church. On March 22, 2009 Mt. Zion set one such man aside to lead God’s church in the role of deacon.

Eric Lutton (his wife Patty) serves God at Mt. Zion GBC with his compassion and concern for all the people of the church.

On April 3, 2011, just a month ago we held another ordination service for two more men. Tom Holbrook (and his wife Zelma) and Kevin Slygh (and his wife Annette) have both met the biblical qualification and have been chosen to assist in the growing needs of the church and although there service has only been in force for a few short weeks they have been a tremendous asset to the church in their individual and collective roles.

The deacon ministry team at Mt. Zion GBC is changing in dynamics. Was there something wrong with the previous ministry team? No, they served well and some continue to do so today lending their wisdom and advice to the

“new kids on the block.” In the words of our news guys, “we need all the wisdom that we can get from our deacons, Art Stierley and Martin Redman.” I can’t agree more.

Mt. Zion GBC will continue to be a strong force in our community because we firmly believe in the premise of following Jesus. Because of this, there will always be something going on at Mt. Zion.

Mt. Zion is affiliated with the General Association of General Baptists and our beliefs are simple.

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word, Jesus is the only way to know God and spend eternity in heaven and the church is God’s chosen method of reaching the world with this truth.

Mt. Zion GBC is located just off of Springfield Rd. between Wadesville and Mt. Vernon at 1425 Oliver Rd. N. For more information about Mt. Zion GBC or if you would just like to have someone pray for you please call the church at 783-2337 or you can reach me (Rev. Rick S. Sellers) at 781-9298.

You can also check us out at www.mzgb.org or email us at mt.ziongb@gmail.com.

If you are looking for a church family come be our guests. We would be proud to have you in our fellowship.

sions.

The ACT website, www. actstudent.org, has helpful information, free sample items, and options to order inexpensive test prep materials to assist test takers get ready for the exam.

Peebles Department Store in Mount Vernon becomes a Goody’s

By Pam Robinson Goody’s will soon replace the Peebles Department Store in Mount Vernon’s Southwind Shopping Plaza. A grand opening celebration will mark the occasion on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 8:45 a.m. with Mayor John Tucker, members of the local offices of the Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana and area business leaders. The Mount Vernon Marching Wildcats Band will perform at the festivities from 8:30 to 9 a.m.

Store manager Misty Reese says the first 150 customers at the grand openWorkers were busy last week putting up the new Goody’s sign at the Peeble’s Store ing will receive free canvas totes. Coupons and specials at the Southwind Shopping Plaza in Mount Vernon. Photo by Tammy Bergstrom

will be available that day also.

For two weeks after the grand opening, Goody’s will treat customers to extended hours: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., May 18-21; 12 noon to 6 p.m., May 22; and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., May 23-28.

Customers will notice a wider variety of merchandise in the new Goody’s, particularly in juniors extended sizes, infants’ wear and young men’s clothing.

Reese says the new store name and greater selection are the only changes to expect. The same 14 parttime employees will remain along with Reese to provide the same great service.

Goody’s, like Peebles, is part of a family of five de-

partment stores also including Bealls, Palais Royal and Stage. Corporate offices are located in Houston and South Hills, Va. Previously, Stage Department Store operated in the space now occupied by Peebles. Peebles held its grand opening here just three years ago on May 6, 2008.

Reese says the Goody’s name is widely recognized in the area, and management hopes the name works as a magnet to attract customers in the Poseyville and New Harmony areas as well as in Mount Vernon.

Reese hopes to realize her goal of drawing more customers so the bigger volume of sales will require a store expansion.

St. Mary's begins patient-Led Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group St. Mary’s Medical Center has started a new Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group specifically for patients with pulmonary fibrosis and their families.

Mike is a pulmonary fibrosis patient who received a lung transplant about one year ago. His

wife, Christa, is also helping to lead the support group. Steve is undergoing medical treatment for his disease.

The patient-led Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group will meet the second Monday of each month from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. in the St. Mary’s Cardiac Conference Room, which is located on the second floor of the Center for Advanced Medicine.

For more information about this support group, please call the following phone numbers: ·Mike and Christa Shore: 812-963-9543 ·Steve Williams: 812925-6894 ·St. Mary’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Department: 812-4855230 Pulmonary Fibrosis is a condition in which the lungs are scarred. This

makes breathing difficult, and over time as scarring worsens, breathing becomes impossible without the aid of an oxygen tank.

One of the most common causes of pulmonary fibrosis is Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, or IPF. IPF has no known cause.

Worldwide, approximately five million people suffer from IPF. The disease Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker talks with visitors kills as many people as from Marrs Elementary School during a visit from the stubreast cancer. dents to his office this week. Photo courtesy of Lori Higgins

SABIC wins two ACC Energy Efficiency Awards Wilson and Kemmerling receive white coats On April 18, SABIC Innovative Plastics was honored by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) with two Responsible Care® Energy Efficiency Awards. The company’s Mount Vernon, Ind., resin unit was recognized for significant manufacturing improvement after it rede-

signed its facility to simplify and optimize the resin purification process, leading to reduced use of steam and electrical energy.

Additionally, the company’s plastics manufacturing plant in Selkirk, N.Y. took the ACC “Exceptional Merit” designation for a recently installed steam

turbine generator to capture energy that was previously lost during pressure reduction. These prestigious awards demonstrate SABIC Innovative Plastics’ strong, ongoing investment in sustainable practices to benefit the environment as a whole, communities where it operates and its customers.

Department of Defense announces awards The Department of Defense announced three Indiana employers have been selected as semifinalists for the 2011 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. The Freedom Award is the DoD’s highest recognition given to employers for exceptional support of their employees serving in the Guard and Reserve. Indiana’s semifinalists stood out for their support of military employees as nationwide nominations for the Freedom Award rose 64 percent over last year.

Among the 148 semifinalists are Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates, Evansville; Lt. Governor's Office, State Of Indiana, Indianapolis; and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., Indianapolis. These Indiana employers distinguished themselves from a pool of 4,049 nominations submitted by service members

in 2011. Employers chosen as semifinalists support their Guard and Reserve employees through a variety of formal and informal initiatives, including providing the difference between military and civilian salary during deployments, continuation of full benefits, sending care packages and supporting the families of employees fulfilling military obligations.

“Our nation’s ability to rely on the Guard and Reserve through nearly 10 years of war and during historic natural disasters is made possible by the tremendous support of employers,” said ESGR National Chair James G. Rebholz. “The employers selected as semifinalists have distinguished themselves by going above and beyond what the law requires, and I want to thank them for their critical support on behalf of our service members and our nation.”

Local financial advisor honored Thomas Ruder, a financial advisor for Edward Jones in Evansville, was recently honored by the firm for his job perfomance.

Ruder was one of only 300 out of more than 12,000 Edward Jones financial advisors invited to attend the conference.

This recognition earned Ruder an invitation to Edward Jones’ annual Managing Partner’s Conference in April at the firm’s regional camput in Phoenix. the three-day meeting pools Edward Jones’ most successful representatives for a discussion with James D. Weddle, Edward Jones’ managing partner, on issues facing the firm and the financial services industry as a whole.

Ruder has been an Edward Jones financial advisor for 33 years.

Edward Jones, which ranked No. 11 on Fortune Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” in 2011, is headquarterd in St. Louis.

The Edward Jones web site is located at www.edwardjones.com, and its recruiting web site is www.careers.edwardjones.com.

OPINION

Basement looking favorable for ‘man cave’ as new room takes shape It was an idea whose time had come.

Several of you can remember all the fuss I made about being mover, removed, and bantered about our home as I searched for a place to call my own “man cave” just a few months ago.

Although our house TRUTH... doesn’t really appear to be a STRANGER huge home, there is quite a THAN bit of space on the inside. As FICTION a matter of fact, an educated BY DAVE guess, including unfinished PEARCE basement space, would put us at over 4,000 square feet for the two of us.

As I was bounced from room to room last year searching for a place where I could be out of the way, I eventually found a corner in the dining room to park my computer and the other couple of belongings that only I use. It is probably a 4 by 4 square.

But as I sat here in my little world day after day and night after night, I came up with an idea. Since we have a porch all the way across the front of our home, why couldn’t I enclose about two-thirds of it. That way, we would still have a 10 by 10 area under roof yet I would also have a space 20X10 completely enclosed yet on the outside of the house to use as the new man cave.

It didn’t take a lot of talking for me to convince my wife that the best place for me was on the outside of the house. I could put my little computer desk out there and since the porch was already under roof, it wouldn’t

take a whole lot of money and I would finally have a place to call my own.

It was settled. I was going to look for ideas and before long, I would have my own little corner of the world.

As I explained before, I had lost my first “man cave” to the sewing room whose path led between the couch and Monday Night Football.

And once we found out there was a wedding in the works, I lost any chance at having any portion of the 1400-square feet we have in two large bedrooms upstairs.

I contemplated a move to the basement but that seemed too dark and musty so I agreed to keep my “stuff” in the corner of the dining room.

Although I will have to admit I am not a neat freak, I have seen places that are not as neat and clean as my little corner of the house. No, Martha Stewart probably would not want to shoot a segment there but then again, it doesn’t belong to Martha Stewart. It was my own little corner of the house.

But excitement built as work began on enclosing a good portion of the front porch. I even decided to make it mostly windows so if I were in the mood for sunlight, I could open the blinds. If I were in the mood to get away from everything, I could close the blinds and have some time to myself… outside of the house.

Well, a funny thing has happened on the

way to completion. It seems that construction was not progressing fast enough and one day last week I came home and the new man cave had a new coat of paint on the inside. It was the loveliest shade of light yellow I had ever seen. And when that was contrasted with the even lighter yellow that had been painted on the baseboards, one thought went through my head.

Oh, sure, I could live with the yellow. But the main thought was that I was realizing I was never going to get a chance. Yes, this latest man cave was going to be taken over before I never got to put a stick of furniture in it. As a matter of fact, she even picked out the gaudiest bright green ultra-modern sofa I had ever laid eyes on. And I had no choice but to say, “Of course I like it.” And, “of course that would be the one I would have chosen.”

So on Sunday afternoon as I was dragged from store to store to pick out ornamental lighting and ceiling fans, it was tough to get too excited about what was, just a couple of weeks ago, going to be the ultimate in man caves!

So now, left without space on either the inside or the outside of the house, that plan in the basement is starting to look attractive again. Oh sure, it’s dark and musty down there but it is likely that if I just set up a card table and a chair, no one will want to take it away from me.

I can drink Diet Pepsis and if I decided to wait until the next day to throw away the bottle, I will just leave it set. Its cold and damp in both the winter and the summer so I doubt there will be any competition for that space.

After all, why would there be?

Letters to the Editor Thanks for support of Plein Air Paintout Our sincere thanks to the townspeople in New Harmony for making the 13th Annual First Brush of Spring Paint Out a huge success! The volunteerism exhibited by all the various committees was exceptional. You were greatly appreciated by all the artists in attendance. We had 154 registered artists this year. The weather cooperated on Thursday and Friday afternoon, but dampness did not seem to dampen any of the artists' spirits. We

appreciate the newspaper's coverage. Your pictures help to capture the creativity of the event. I am sure that your coverage sparks interest and awareness of the Paint Out. Our heartfelt thanks to all who volunteered, attended the events, and supported the Art Sales. We look forward to seeing you at next year's Paint Out on April 19-21, 2012.

Sincerely, George & Peggy Rapp

Paper Social Security checks to disappear in May Dear Editor A historic change is coming May 1, which will affect your readers: The U.S. Department of the Treasury is retiring the paper Social Security check for millions of baby boomers and others applying for federal benefits, a move that will save taxpayers $1 billion over the next 10 years. Beginning May 1, anyone newly applying for Social Security, Veterans Affairs (VA) or other federal benefits will need to choose an electronic payment method. Paper checks will no longer be an option.

People currently receiving their federal benefits by paper check must switch to direct deposit by March 1, 2013.

In Indiana, nearly 386,000 baby boomers

are expected to reach retirement age over the next five years and current federal benefit recipients in the state rely on nearly 177,000 Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) paper check payments each month. If everyone in Indiana switched to electronic payment, approximately $2 million would be saved each year.

Yesterday, Treasurer of the United States Rosie Rios highlighted these savings by signing a ceremonial check for $1 billion made out to the American taxpayer at the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington, D.C. Regards, Christine Scroggins

Unsung farm wife “mom” celebrated Mother’s Day is the perfect time to thank an unsung hero of modern agriculture: the American farm mom. Women have extremely diverse roles on the farm, and all are critically important. “Farm Moms” juggle the common demands in raising a family, managing a household and caring for the children but often take on additional responsibilities of the farm including the books, and often the fieldwork between planting, spraying, harvesting and caring for the livestock. Many also volunteer within their communities; and help educate their urban counterparts on the path their food and fiber travels from field to home – all while raising the next generation of American farmers.

It is often said that there is no job more challenging or more rewarding than being a mother, but I know first-hand that no job is more challenging than being a farm mom.

Farm moms work long hours; they don’t do

it for the recognition, but for the passion they have for the land they farm and the desire they have to someday pass it down to the next generation.

I’m sure those of us fortunate enough to have ties to rural America know a remarkable farm mom who puts her focus on her family, farm, community and industry. I personally encourage your readers to take a few minutes to nominate their favorite farm mom for America’s Farmers Mom of the Year 2011.

They can do so by visiting AmericasFarmers.com before Mother’s Day and sharing her story – winners will receive a cash prize in recognition of her contributions and one will be selected as Farm Mom of the Year.

A sincere “thank you” this Mother’s Day to all American farm moms for the hard work they do every day to put food on our tables and clothes on our backs.

Guest Editorial --- Have Special Interests corrupted the IURC? Secrecy and the clout of the special interests outweigh the public good. For the third year, elected officials have blocked utility reform. And, the agency overseeing the utility tree trimming investigation, the IURC, has seen serious ethical lapses with former employees now under State and possibly federal investigation.

Lax oversight as reported in The Indianapolis Star's editorial "Pricey toll for lax oversight" on Saturday 4-16-2011 is not a problem exclusively with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). The root of the problems at the IURC lie with the State Legislature and the Governor. They have effectively tied the hands of the IURC denying them the ability to keep all utility customers fully informed and preventing the IURC from enforcing it's own rules. Now under new leadership, will the IURC establish higher ethical standards and give the public equal consideration and rights versus the power of the special interest groups?

The Legislature and the Governor's Administration, who have been repeatedly warned of serious utility problems by the Indiana Tree Alliance, have chosen to remain silent knowing the current tree trimming investigation by the IURC cannot fix many of the problems.

The Legislature and the Governor, to date, have not given the IURC the statutory authority they need to ensure the public is well informed. 3.5 to 4 million Hoosiers remain uninformed about a Statewide tree trimming investigation and the current rule making by the IURC - rule making that will define a homeowner's property rights versus the utility rights to trim and remove trees on private property near overhead electrical lines.

Further, the IURC will not be able to enforce their own vegetation management rules now being created. Instead, a voluntary honor code has been adopted. If a utility does indeed damage property, as before, the only means of recourse will be "a civil action" in court which most homeowners state-wide cannot afford. This is the method most preferred by the utilities as they know their eco-

nomic power can intimidate most property owners in any legal action. Consequently, the utilities win by economic default.

Are the millions of lobbying dollars spent by the electric utility industry (utility bill payer's dollars) and the thousands of dollars given to both parties in campaign donations influencing the lack of legislative action by all parties and the lack of leadership on this topic by the Governor? The right of all Hoosiers to know what is happening and why, and to participate in this Statewide utility tree trimming investigation has been seriously compromised in the absence of full disclosure from the utilities. Have campaign donations tilted legislation towards the utilities?

Must more homeowners seek expensive legal help to recover utility damages, curb outdated easements or respond to undisclosed utility easement restrictions on their properties? Will homeowners get relief or will they too be told, "Take this to court yourself - no state governmental agency or commission has the statutory authority to help you?" One group in central Indiana has asked the State's Attorney General for Help due to the lack of full disclosure of severe utility restrictions before they built their homes in an upscale housing development.

Do homeowners know what utility restrictions are imposed on their property by the gas, electric, water, cable and/or telephone companies? Do property owners know where easements sit in conjunction with their property lines?

Are Hoosiers concerned, angry or just plain disappointed that information about restrictions on property, IURC rule making and the investigation itself has been kept quiet?

If so they need to contact their State Senator and State Representative and ask why they have done nothing to fix this problem. Will their representatives now support a legislative review this summer? We hope so...stay tuned.

Gavel Gamut’s “Just the Facts” This year’s Mock Trial pits students from North Posey High School against students from Mt. Vernon High School.

New Harmony High School will decide the outcome.

As with real cases, the decision must be based on the facts as disclosed by the evidence. The attorneys and witnesses for both sides have the opportunity to interpret the facts as they see them. While the evidence is as the evidence is, each side may fairly present the case to their best advantage. And as with real cases, imaginative approaches may be helpful, but nothing replaces perspiration.

The following scenario is what the students must analyze and adapt. If you wish, Gentle Reader, you may test yourself against the students’ interpretations. However, as a word of caution, my experience with students in 26 previous Mock Trials leads me to believe one will be hard pressed to best Posey County’s high schoolers.

FACTS Gowdy Bowl Technical Institute and Reyfert Hogart College were in the finals

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE of the National Chess Club Championship. The set of matches were held February 2, 2011. By special invitation of President Barach Obama, the matches were held at the Whitehouse in the Lincoln Drawing Room.

Each school fielded a team of five players. As the matches progressed each team won four. Therefore, the championship depended upon who won the fifth and final competition between the team captains.

Tech’s captain was Angelina Bradley and RHC’s was Prothro Herrington the third.

Angelina and Prothro had met

812-682-3950 • 641 3rd St. • New Harmony, IN 47631 812-838-9920 • 607 E 4th St. • Mount Vernon, IN 47620 FAX 812-682-3944 • www.PoseyCountyNews.com

through prior chess activities.

They had been engaged to be married until Angelina traveled to Haiti in 2010 to help Haitian orphans and Prothro met Cissalee Dowdy at a political rally.

When Angelina returned from Haiti her best friend and fellow chess player, Agatha Kristol, told her about Cissalee. Angelina ended the engagement and returned Prothro’s engagement ring that Prothro then gave to Cissalee.

Just as Angelina and Prothro were sitting down to start their championship match Prothro received a text message from Facebook that he had been tagged in a photograph. Prothro clicked on the tag and brought up a photograph of Prothro across which was the statement: “Sic Semper Cheaters”.

Secret Service Agent Norbert Nellie was monitoring all incoming communications and remembered that “Sic Semper Tyrannis” was what

John Wilkes Booth had shouted just after he shot President Lincoln. Agent Nellie become nervous and issued a code red security alert.

The chess competition was terminated and the students were ordered to leave.

The prize of $25,000.00 for the winning school was not awarded by the sponsor, Toys R Us, and the students did not get to meet President Obama.

Gowdy Bowl Tech and Reyfert Hogart College each sued the other claiming that supporters of the opposing school were responsible for the termination of the competition.

RHC claimed the posting was an obvious threat and, since the White House was involved, any reasonable person would have realized what might happen.

Tech claimed there was no proof of any threat and that the fault lay with Prothro, who failed to use the readily available security that would have prevented the posting.

Tech claimed that the school, itself, could not be held responsible for the actions of whoever posted the photograph of Prothro.

And RHC claimed that it had no right or ability to control Prothro’s Facebook account.

Each school is suing the other for $25,000.00.

Angelina Bradley and Prothro Herrington, III are each suing the other for losing the opportunity of winning the competition and meeting President.Obama.

Well, there they are. By the time you read this the students will have presented their ver-

sions. I hope you took the opportunity to attend this year’s Mock Trial on Monday, May 2 at 9:00 a.m. in the Posey Circuit Court courtroom so you could compare your approach to the students.

Talk of curriculum coach draws difference of opinion from New Harmony NEA

By Pam Robinson Personnel issues brought discussion at Thursday’s meeting of the New Harmony School Board. Rick Johnson, president of New Harmony School’s local chapter of the National Education Association, or NEA, presented the group’s position on retaining a school curriculum coach. Johnson said the chapter believes the money spent on a curriculum coach could be better spent on curriculum itself.

In response to Johnson, Superintendent Fran Thoele pointed out that NEA representatives were not available for a pre-bargaining meeting held earlier in the week on Tuesday evening. After the meeting, Johnson said that Kathy Heck of the Indiana State Teachers’ Association had not gotten the word to him about the meeting. He stated that the issue of retaining a curriculum coach is probably a bargaining issue because of funding for the position. Teacher contracts end at New Harmony School on June 30.

Minutes later, the board voted to extend the contract of the curriculum coach, Andrea Greaney,

for the 2011-2012 academic year only. Curt Schmitt cast the only nay vote in this matter. After the meeting, Schmitt said that he voted no because he wanted more time to consider the subject.

In other business: •The board approved a rainy day transfer resolution to place $250,000 into the rainy day fund from the capital projects fund.

•The board approved the following additional personnel matters in one vote: 1) added one hour per week to Debbie Lyke’s aide position effective March 28, 2011 (to compensate for an additional student placed under her care); 2) hired Stephanie Rhodes as summer school coordinator to staff the summer school for a total of 48 hours at $15 an hour; 3) hired Cody Peerman as half-time baseball assistant; 4) accepted the resignation of guidance counselor Stacey Hall effective at the end of the school year; and 5) approved Don Wilhelmus as volunteer baseball coach.

•The board approved a five-cent increase in school lunch prices as

authorized by the federal government. Superintendent Thoele explained that the school lunch prices cannot fall below the federal reimbursement rate for free lunch.

•The board approved the following classes and textbooks: high school skills class and the accompanying Prentice Hall Skill Intervention Kit for the High School; high school environmental science class and the accompany Pearson Environmental Science textbook; Prentice Hall Health for high school health; Pearson Interactive Science for 7th and 8th grade science; Pearson Biology for Biology I; Pearson Chemistry for Chemistry I; Glencoe Math Connects for grade 7 math; Power-Algebra for Algebra I along with the waiver for Algebra I; Key Curriculum From Discovering Geometry for geometry class; Key Curriculum Discovering Advanced Algebra for Algebra II; Pearson Precalculus for precalculus class; Indiana Science Initiative for kindergarten through grade 6 science.

• Superintendent Thoele expressed concern about the increase

in textbook rental fees in the upcoming school year. She said the administration was working hard to keep the increase to between $5 and $13—and even less if at all possible. The board will vote on textbook rental fees at the May meeting.

•The board approved the purchase of 13 laptop computers from CDI for $5,800 and for software from CDW-G for $649.74.

•The board approved the continued use of Standard Insurance as the long term disability provider.

•Jim Little, head boys’ basketball coach, and the board recognized senior Kristopher Scarafia, the son of Board President Jim Scarafia and his wife Carol, for his recent selection as Boys’ Honorable Mention Academic All-State by the Indiana Basketball Coaches’ Association.

Little said that Scarafia received the award primarily for his excellent academic record as well as for his scores on the ACT and SAT. •The board approved acceptance of the following donations: 1) for the after prom--$200 from the Posey County Treasurer, $50 from

New Harmony Kiwanis Club, $50 from David and Vicki Campbell, $50 from G & K F Enterprises, $100 from Beuligmann Heating and Air Conditioning, $25 from Allan Knapp, $100 from Posey County Co-op, $120 from Deaconess Hospital, $50 from Infinity Molding and Assembly, $50 from Working Distributors, $50 from Clem Dassel and Company, $50 from Allyn and Givens; 2) for baseball--$100 from Expressway, $330 from Brian Stegall, $250 from Tedra and Jim Little, $25 from J.L. Farm Equipment, $250 from E & B Paving, $100 from ProRehab; 3) for baseball and 2011-12 basketball---$100 from Prime Foods; 4) for drama--$100 from USI/Historic New Harmony; 5) for the Harmonie Hundred-$200 from the Red Geranium and $200 from Deaconess Hospital, $500 from Toyota, $1,000 from USI; and 6) for Tales & Scales, $600 from Under the Beams.

The New Harmony School Board will meet again on Thursday, May 12, 2011, at 6 p.m. in the school media center.

Flood, from Page 1A Robb said. “We anticipate the flood levels will continue at flood stage or just under flood stage until at least Thursday or Friday.

And several county roads will continue to be closed for probably a week-and-a-half or more. It just depends on how fast the water levels come down.”

While Robb was complimentary of everyone who had taken early shelter and of others who had assisted, he admitted that with the new record, his agency was facing some “un-

charted waters.”

“Just watch the weather and be aware of what is around you,” Robb advised those in flood-proned areas. “I’m not sure that when the river changed down in Point that it did not effect the way it reacts here. I have taken lots of pictures that can hopefully help us in the future.”

Robb said his organization has had great cooperation from the State of Indiana and that State Representative Wendy McNamara

had visited the New Harmony site on Sunday afternoon to get a first-hand look at the flooding, which had made its way almost to the steps of the Atheneum in New Harmony.

Members of the Indiana National Guard have made what is beginning to seem like their annual spring pilgrimage to New Harmony with week as storms with lots of rain have made their way through the area.

There have been as many as 40 members of the Indiana National Guard helping in New Harmony at any one time. But once the worst of the work was done, the groups began to rotate and had about 15 on-site at any given time.

“They are just a great group of men and women and we couldn’t have done it without them,” Robb said of the Guard. “Our local resources have worked hard and had their own issue to take care of.”

Members of the guard began coming into the area last Monday and by Tuesday, they were on hand in full force.

“Here in New Harmony, we’re still watching the levee,” Robb said. “We have had little difficulties through the day but the military has been great and they have worked on it and have corrected it.”

Robb was hoping that the Wabash would crest overnight on Sunday at around 22.8 feet. That is slightly above the level of the 2008 flood and just below the level of the 2005 flood.

“As the threat of spring storms continues, this is an opportunity for everyone to review their preparedness plans so they know how to react should severe weather strike,” said Andrew Velasquez III, FEMA Region V administrator. “When putting together your family emergency plan, remember the unique needs of your family. Make sure you plan for the needs of infants and small children, older adults, people with disabilities, as well as your pets.”

Individuals, families, and businesses can take steps now to prepare by: •Preparing emergency supply kits that includes: •a three-day supply of nonperishable food

and bottled water •battery-powered weather radio •flashlight with extra batteries •first aid kit •prescription medications and glasses •pet food and extra water for your pet •copies of important documents, including driver’s license, Social Security card, proof of residence, insurance policies, wills, deeds, birth and marriage certificates, tax records, etc.

•Having a disaster plan so your family knows how to contact one another, how you will get back together, and what you will do in different situations. Also, be sure to have copies of plans developed by your school and workplace.

•Identifying evacuation routes and a site away from the disaster area where family members can meet.

•Identifying business operations that are critical to survival and recovery. Communicate your plan with your employees, and develop systems to keep in touch with them should a disaster occur.

•Heeding all local warnings-listen to news and directions from your local and state officials. If told to evacuate, do so. Familiarize yourself with the terms that are used to identify the various hazards, and know the difference between a watch and a warning.

“We have heard no reports of injuries and there have been no deaths,” Robb said. “We have been very fortunate and very proactive this year and that’s the way we have to be.”

But Robb was quick to point out that while Posey residents are displaced and have been inconvenienced by the flood waters, there are people not that far away who are in a lot worse shape than residents of Posey County.

“Our flood event pales when you compare it to what has happened in the south,” Robb said. “With all the tornadoes. We look at the weather that has gone south of us and realize that there are people worse off than we are.

We pray for those people down south and just thank God that it didn’t happen here. They have lost a lot of lives and we have been inconvenienced. It could have been worse.”

PC Pound Puppies gets grant to vaccinate dogs PC Pound Puppies, Mount Vernon, now has help in protecting dogs against canine

influenza virus (CIV), a highly contagious disease that spreads easily from dog to dog, especially those in close proximity.

The shelter received a grant for the vaccines as part of a Petfinder.com Foundation program to build community immunity against this respiratory infection. The foundation partnered with Intervet/ScheringPlough Animal Health, a global animal health company and makers of the NOBIVAC(r) Canine Flu H3N8 vaccine, to fund the grant.

Because CIV is relatively new, most dogs have not built up immunity to the disease.

Dogs can get the disease by being exposed to those that have it, as well as playing with toys or drinking from bowls used by other dogs. People can also unwittingly spread the germ if they come in contact with infected dogs.

"Shelters and rescue organizations are often the first places that new diseases already in the community become evident. Dogs come in from the community and are released back into it, and often move to and from states with confirmed cases," said Liz Neuschatz, director of the Petfinder.com Foundation. "Canine flu can be a real problem for shelters, where one sick dog can cause an outbreak through an entire facility. We are pleased to be part of this effort to help protect the community by providing canine flu vaccine to PC Pound Puppies."

Dog flu is a growing problem throughout the U.S. It has been confirmed in 35 states so far, but tracking the disease is hard because it is so difficult to diagnose. Dogs are contagious before they show any symptoms. By the time the dog starts coughing, it's too late. Virtually all dogs exposed to the virus will become infected, and some will get more serious infections, such as pneumonia, which can be fatal. Dogs that go to doggie daycare, boarding facilities,

groomers and shows and are vaccinated for canine cough (Bordetella) are also at risk for canine flu. Information about canine flu is available at www. doginfluenza.com.

The grant for Building Community Immunity seeks to protect all at-risk dogs in the community, including those in close proximity with other dogs, as is the case with shelters and rescue facilities.

It also provides greater assurance to adopting families that their new pets will be healthier and much less likely to be sick or get more serious, and sometimes fatal, infections. The grant further links Petfinder. com member shelter and rescue grant recipients with local veterinarians to protect all adoptable dogs in their care.

The program promotes veterinary visits for wellness exams and, when appropriate, the second dose administration of Nobivac Canine Flu vaccine.

About Petfinder.com Foundation The Petfinder.com Foundation was created in 2003 to respond to needs of its Petfinder member shelters and rescue groups and to assist them in ensuring that no pet is euthanized for lack of a home. The vaccine grant will help keep dogs healthy and adoptable.

FINAL DAY! Parmenter serves up good things in school, community

WEATHER WOES!!!

New Harmony School, or NHS, Cafeteria Director Carrie Parmenter knows how to serve up good things in both the cafeteria and the community. A stay-athome mom for nine years, Parmenter worked first as an environmental educator for the Soil and Water Conservation District in Vanderburgh County. Her work at NHS allows her to once again help educate the public about an important issueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;nutrition.

In a little under two years on the job, Parmenter has successfully applied for two cafeteria grants and helped to transform the dining experience for NHS students, faculty and staff.

The first grant came from the National Dairy Association, seeking innovative ways to encourage kids to

enjoy dairy products. Parmenter held a student mooing contest for ice cream.

The school was awarded a milk cooler for its champion moos.

The second grant, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fuel Up to Play,â&#x20AC;? came from the NFL. NHS received a $3,000 award to encourage healthy eating and exercise for at least 60 minutes every day. The grant allowed Parmenter to offer Taste Test Tuesdays so students could sample a variety of healthy foods. This spring, a family fitness festival celebrated the grant award with nutritious foods and fitness activities, including a romp on giant inflatables.

Parmenter is now looking into a $10,000 grant from the Hidden Valley dressing company. It sup-

ports food services in the quest to provide fresh fruits and vegetables and nutrition education to its consumers. Parmenter said Hidden Valley awards these highly competitive grants each year to only 10 food services in the nation.

Outside of work, Parmenter is dedicated to her community. She and her husband Ryan lead Cub Scout Pack #372 in Farmersville. In addition, they are very active in their church, the Turning Pointe

in Evansville. She teaches Sunday school for kindergarten through fifth grade.

Not surprisingly, she enjoys being one of the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kitchen Angels, who prepare meals for funeral dinners, for those recovering from illness and for a wide

variety of church events.

The Parmenters will celebrate 16 years of marriage this month. They have three sons: Jacob (11), Ethan (8) and Isaac (6). The family enjoys lots of outdoor activitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;camping, hiking, gardening and fishing.

Lady Wildcats come up just short of Invitational title

Cross-county sprint rivals Kate Cox of Mount Vernon and Megan Bender of North Posey race side-by-side down the track during the preliminaries of the 100m dash at the Mount Vernon Girls Invitational on Saturday morning. Both girls made it to the finals of the same competition. Photo by Terri Koch

By Steve Joos Olivia Goebel won two events, the girls who unusually come through for the Mount Vernon girls track team performed well and Lady Wildcats were close enough to beat an-

other group of lady Wildcats.

That, in a nutshell, is how the Mount Vernon Invitational played out Saturday.

Goebel took both distance races as the North Posey Lady Vikings finished seventh

in the meet with 36 points, while some of the usual suspects (Erica McCormick, Katie Cox and Jenny Koch) came through with strong performances as Mount Vernon did well, but came up just a bit short in the team standings, losing 89-82 to Mater Dei. Mount Vernon coach Jackie Maier thought her girls took advantage of the pleasant springtime conditions, although the high winds negated any chances that new records might be set.

“I was pleased,” she said. “I think that they ran well. It was a beautiful day. The winds were a bit of a hindrance, there were certainly no records set today, but they gave it a great effort. I’m proud of them.”

The Lady Wildcats my not have set many records, but they did bring home some blue ribbons, so round up the usual suspects, like Cox, who won the 200-dash in :27.04, and McCormick, who took the 800-run in 2:28.99.

Those two Lady Cat mainstays each ran a leg on one of Mount Vernon’s two first-place relay teams. Cox joined Ellen Foster, Lacy Johnson and Lauren Stemple to take the 400relay in 52.91, while McCormick teamed up with Stemple, Koch and Montana Eaton to win the 3,200-relay in 10:39.73.

“I’ve really got quite a few dependable kids,” Maier said. “Not only Kate and Erica, but you know Jenny Koch is a senior and one of those dependable kids. Lauren Stemple is strong and ran in four events, including one back-to-back tonight.”

Cox is getting stronger each time, competing in the preliminaries and finals for the sprints, with the long jump in between (she was second in both the long jump and the 100Vikings’ sprinter Mackenzie Orlik works dash).

Lady Rappites forget to bring their ‘A’ game against Lanesville

By Steve Joos The New Harmony softball team got to play Saturday, but they didn’t seem to show up.

Coach Jeff Moore put a considerable amount of time trying to get the field ready for Saturday’s game with Lanesville and when the Lady Eagles arrived, it wasn’t pretty, as the visitors clawed the Lady Rappites 10-1.

“They were good,” Moore said. “They were probably the best team we’ve played so far this season. They may even be better than Mount Vernon. They were good and they played good, but we didn’t play very well.”

The Lady Rappites only managed five hits off a quick Lanesville pitcher but they ran into trouble in the field with five errors.

“We had as many hits (five) as we did errors,” Moore said. “You’re not going to do very well with that. Morgan Matthews didn’t pitch that bad a game, but we gave up a lot of unearned runs.”

Matthews scattered eight hits and gave up six earned runs while on the mound for New Harmony.

Alyssa Scherzinger had two of New Harmony’s hits and drove in the team’s only run of the game. Madison Worman scored that run and had one of the other hits. She continues to hit the ball well, at a .417 clip. Kendall Morris and Andrea Smotherman had the other New Harmony hits.

New Harmony played its first reserve game Saturday, losing to Lanesville 9-2. The reserves committed only three errors in that contest, while New Harmony had to deal with a pitcher who was even quicker than the Lady Eagle varsity hurler.

Heather Williams started and took the loss for the Lady Rappites, while Kelsey Owen had two hits.

The heavy rains which hit the area early last week took their toll on the Lady Rappites’ schedule, as what could have been a The Lady Rappites gather around the mound to offer encouragement during a key test against Tecumseh was rained out. recent rough spot. Photo by Dave Pearce

Vikings dress to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Members of the North Posey High softball team are introduced in their Breast Cancer Awareness outfits just prior to the beginning of the game this week against Heritage hills. The Lady Vikings were able to overcome the weather after a long rain and lightning delay but unforutnately, they came out on the short end of a 6-3 score in the lonely game the team was able to get in this week. The Lady Viking loss pretty much eliminated them from Pocket Athletic Conference title contention but the team will continue to build toward the sectional.

The Lady Vikings continue to play well and look forward to tournament time.

Mount Vernon Invitational, from B1 Mater Dei has a very talented team this season (they topped Mount Vernon in a close dual meet earlier in the season) and that was much of the difference between the two teams Saturday.

“Very, very fantastic,” North Posey assistant coach Mike Kuhn said of his team’s efforts. “They’ve been running very well.

They made the finals in many of the races and they’ve scored. We’re really proud of Olivia (Goebel) and Emma (Werry, who scored in the meet) and Kenzie (Orlik) and our throwers, who didn’t score, but had some personal bests.”

Kuhn went on to list some other Lady Vikings who performed well Saturday, including Meagan Bender and Jessica Smith, but it was Geobel who really came through for North Posey, taking the 1,600-meters in 5:49 and the 3,200 in 13:26.70, holding off a charging Courtney Naas of Gibson Southern by eighttenths of a second to win the two-mile after outpacing runner-up Emily Blankenberger of Mater Dei by nine seconds in the mile.

Goebel couldn’t say much, other than she tried to get a good start and maintain her pace during the two races.

Memorial was third in the meet with 73 points, Gibson Southern (59) and Central (52) round out the top five. North Posey was seven points behind sixth-place Bosse (43), while Vincennes (30) and Marshall County (28) rounded out the field.

The county track teams did something Tuesday that not a lot of other sports teams in Southwestern Indiana were able to do.

They had a meet.

The Lady Wildcats emerged from a tight pack to finish third at the Forest Park Invitational with 82 and one-half points, beating out Tell City (80 and one-half) and Northeast Dubois (80 and one-third). North Posey finished eighth with 25 points.

Cox and McCormick each won individual events for the Lady Cats and each ran a leg on a first-place relay team. Cox won the 100dash in 12.77 and teamed up with Foster, Stemple and Johnson to claim the 400-meter relay (:52.78), while McCormick took the 800-meters (2:49) and joined Randall, Eaton and Gerst to win the 3,200-relay (10:32.18).

The Lady Cats improved at Forest Park, North Posey hurdler Emma Werry displays excellent form during the preliminaries of the 100-meter hurdles competition at the Mount Vernon Girls Track Invitational. but they also had personal bests Saturday.

Conditions weren’t the best, but Maier was Photo by Terri Koch

pleased with her team’s effort at Ferdinand.

“It was not a fantastic night,” she said.

“But I certainly wasn’t disappointed by any means. It was a tough night weather-wise, with all the rain and we had a storm delay, but overall, I think we did fine.”

The team has some decisions to make regarding where the girls are placed for the Big Eight, Maier added.

Kuhn felt that the team did a better job of scoring at the Mount Vernon meet than they did at Forest Park and they did what was necessary to compete in big meets, especially the upcoming Pocket Athletic Conference meet.

“We’ve got no injuries,” the coach said.

“We’ve got kids who’ve developed into some pretty fine racers, so we’re looking forward to (the PAC Meet).”

Kuhn was in charge of the team Saturday due to the absence of coach Leah Stormont.

Floyd Central (95) and Harrison (56 and two-third) finished sixth and seventh ahead of the Lady Vikings. The host Lady Rangers on the meet with 127 points, while Corydon Central (95) came in second.

Arena Rain, Southridge wash out Lady Vikings

Brittlebank pools schedule announced

Didn’t anybody avoid getting rained out last week?

For instance, the North Posey girls’ tennis team had all but finished its meet at Southridge Tuesday night before the skies opened up, leading North Posey with a 3-1 loss at the hands of the Lady Raiders.

The Lady Vikings almost completely escaped the rain Tuesday, but the second singles match at Southridge was stopped with Natalie Thomas down 1-0 after taking the first set 6-4.

The Lady Raiders won the meet 3-1, as Katelyn Esche and Lindsay Droege took the only spot of the day for North Posey, beating Lynette Whitsitt and Candace Thompson 6-1, 6-4 at second doubles.

At first doubles, Wendi Simpson and Kendall Reidford pushed Kenzi Buschkoetter and Meagan Dippel before falling 6-3, 7-5.

Meagan Durcholz lost to Mackenzie Seib 6-2, 6-3 at first singles, while third singles went to Sara Lange 6-2, 6-2 over Nichole Perry.

The Lady Viking reserves did pull out a 1-0 win over Southridge in their meet.

Davenport to continue college, basketball at Franklin College

By Steve Joos North Posey boys’ basketball standout Dillon Davenport has decided to attend Franklin College and play for the NCAA Division III Grizzlies.

Franklin recruits its players on strength of character and academics, according to coach Kerry Prather, and Davenport filled those criteria well.

The Grizzlies’ coach didn’t think he was that bad of a basketball player, either.

“Dillon has a lot of upside in his current skills,” Prather said. “And he has the potential to be an even better college player than he was a high school player.”

The Franklin coach called Davenport “a classic gym rat” while praising his work ethic and the North posey guard’s offensive and defensive abilities.

Prather went on to explain that Franklin’s offensive style will be conducive to Davenport’s abilities, as well.

That emphasis, especially on academics, drew Davenport to Franklin as well.

“It’s a good academic school to go to,” he

said. “I tried to find a school that would be a good for my academics and Franklin looked like a good academic school and it seemed like a good fit to further my career in basketball.”

Davenport averaged 12.1 points per game in helping the Vikings to a 17-5 record and a berth in the Class 2A Sectional championship game, while earning spots on the All-Pocket Athletic Conference and Evansville Courtier and Press All-Area teams.

In addition, Davenport averaged four assists, three rebounds and two steals per contest.

A three-year varsity starter at North Posey, Davenport left a lasting mark in the North Posey record book. This season, he recorded the highest free throw percentage in school history (82 percent) and helped lead the Vikings to a school-record 18 wins and its first PAC title since 1983 as a junior. The Vikings were 44-20 during his varsity career.

Davenport also scored 12 points for the West All-Star team in the recent Hoosier Basketball coaches’ Association All-Star

game at Tecumseh, won by the East All-Stars 118-116.

Davenport has the potential to contribute right away and added said that the coaches want him to come in and work hard with the hopes of immediate contribution.

Davenport said that playing for the Vikings and Coach Matt Wadsworth has prepared him well for playing collegiate basketball and beyond.

“Coach Wadsworth has been a good for me to prepare me for later in life,” he said.

“Not only for basketball, but also for my future career and other things later in life.”

For his part, Wadsworth said that Davenport has a good opportunity to play for Franklin.

“Franklin plays a style that Dillon is well suited for,” the Viking coach said. “His speed and ball-handling ability will work well in their fast-paced, guard-heavy offenses. He has the opportunity to play right away.”

Wadsworth praised Davenport’s contributions to the Vikings’ run over the past two seasons, which have earned him All-PAC

honors in both his junior and senior seasons.

“As a coach, you’re always trying to produced the best team you can,” he said. “But you also want to try and create opportunities for anyone who wants to try and take their skills beyond the high school level.”

The son of Lori and Dennis Davenport of rural Evansville, Davenport is uncertain about a college major at this time, with criminal justice and business finance possibilities.

He chose Franklin over Hanover, Indiana University-East, Maryville and Southern Indiana.

“I’m very excited about moving on to the next level,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to play college basketball and this is a good opportunity to play.”

Franklin College is a residential, four-year liberal arts institution located 20 minutes south of Indianapolis. The school maintains a voluntary association with the American Baptist Churches USA. The Grizzlies were 8-17 last season with a 6-12 record in the Hoosier Collegiate Athletic Conference, finishing eighth.

Lackluster effort costs Cats in 11-1 drubbing at North

By Steve Joos Like most over area athletic squads, the Mount Vernon baseball team has been struggling with the weather lately.

Not only has the wet weather washed out games, its also cut into practice time and it’s disrupted the players’ rhythm and timing.

The Cats hadn’t played in a week prior to Thursday’s game with North (which had been pushed back a night due to wet grounds) and it showed, as the visiting Huskies roughed up Mount Vernon for nine runs in the first two innings and went on to post an 11-1 win in five innings under the 10-run rule.

“We had a lot of mishaps,” coach Paul Quinzer said. “Our starter (Canada) just had a bad day and we didn’t help him in the field.”

A few mishaps?

Try a pair of errors in right field, a misread in center, a bad throw from shortstop and a couple of slow rollers to the infield. All of those mishaps combined to break the Wildcats’ back, especially in the first few innings.

Offensively, the Cats didn’t battle, according to the coach.

“We’d been off a week,” Quinzer said. “And it sure seemed like we weren’t the same team. We stopped a week ago.”

In some instances, blaming a long weather-related layoff might sound like an excuse, but wasn’t the case here, Quinzer said, explaining that not only are games rained out, but also practice time is hampered by wet weather.

He added that Mount Vernon just didn’t play like a team, especially in the first two innings.

After scoring four runs in the top of the first, North came

back in the second by putting its first four batters on base and loading the bases to chase Canada. Devin Williams greeted reliever Caleb Hames with a two-run double before the Mount Vernon reliever was able to record the first out the inning (on a sacrifice fly). Two more runs scored on a stolen base, bad throw and a pair of wild pitches, as well as a dropped third strike before Hames finally stopped the bleeding.

The relief pitching was a bright spot on the night, even if the damage control wasn’t enough to make the contest go the full seven innings.

“I expected that out of Caleb (Hames) and Troy (Paris),” Quinzer said. “I expected that out of my 1-2. We fell behind by nine runs, but I thing the most disappointing thing about it was how we didn’t battle at the plate.”

The Cats got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth when River VanZant and Bo Harris each singled, moved up on a double steal and VanZant scored on a bad throw from North catcher Max Mooney.

Three straight hits (one of them a double by Isaac Gilkey), a walk and a throwing error produced North’s last two runs of the night in the top of the fifth.

Mount Vernon scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning Friday night en route to a 7-1 make-up win over Tecumseh.

Hank Dausmann and Peter Fink combined to pitch a fivehitter and the Cats overcame four errors to beat the Braves.

Last week’s game with Mater Dei was cancelled due to the weather, as was Tuesday’s game with Princeton. The Cats and Tigers will make up their Big Eight Conference contest on Friday, May 13.

season, the Marksmen had an answer for the Vikings. The 8-4 loss at the hands of Tell City left the Vikings sitting at just over .500 (7-6) overall and at 3-2 in the Pocket Athletic Conference.

Had the Vikings been able to gain a win over the sixthranked Marksmen, they would have been in control of their own conference destiny as they would face topranked Forest Park as well as Pike Central and Gibson Southern as the season began to wind down.

But despite playing fairly well at Tell City, North Posey Coach Scott Reid said the Vikings simply could not get enough timely hits. They actually outhit the Marksmen but were not able to turn those hits into runs. The Vikings also had two home runs in the contest but both came with no one on.

“Our kids just seem to have something about going to Tell City and playing.

And honestly, it just didn’t seem like Nick (Scheller) had his best stuff today,” Reid said the night of the game. “We’re definitely go-

ing to have to get over that before sectionals because that’s where we play the sectional this year.”

While Reid acknowledged that his team lost to the Marksmen on Saturday, he also was quick to point out that he doesn’t believe there is much difference between the two teams.

On Saturday, the Vikings got a look at Tell City’s Ace, Weidman, but were able to outhit the Marksmen.

Weidman has already signed to play college baseball.

“I’ve said it all year and I still believe it,” Reid said.

“This team is as good as any team around here. They know the mechanics of the game and they have a good understanding of how the game is played.”

The Vikings proved that earlier in the week when they unloaded on Tecumseh for nine runs in the bottom of the first inning and eventually claimed a 9-3 win over the Braves, playing on a wet field and dodging rainstorms to get the game in.

During that contest, the Vikings had only three strikeouts going into the final inning but the Tecumseh hurler struck out the side in the final inning and the Vikings reached the six strikeout plateau, which Reid believes is too many. Shane Neumann started for the Vikings and gave the team five quality innings.

But against Mount Carmel on Friday, the Vikings had only four strikeouts on their way to a 16-6 10-run rule win over Mount Carmel and their Golden Aces.

Nathan Spahn was the starter in that contest.

“I think it is coming,” Reid said of the offense, “I don’t want to take anything away from our guys but it is just a fact that we haven’t faced the kind of pitching in the past two games that we were facing earlier in the year.”

But Reid said his team still missed out on some opportunities to gain early kills against Tecumseh as they scored all nine of their runs in the first inning.

“We are preaching for them not to become complacent and to put their feet on their opponent’s throat when they have them down,” Reid said. “It really took us a couple more innings tonight than I would like to have seen. But that just comes down to a mentality and we have to make sure we finish them off when we have them on the ropes like that.”

But the Vikings continue to do many of the things that makes winners and gives them hopes of playing well into the post-season, despite having four ranked teams in

their sectional.

“I don’t want to jinx the guys but this team can defend,” Reid said. “This is the best middle infield I have ever had. That shortstop-second base combination can play with anybody.

And we are strong at the corners, whether it is Brandon (Spahn) or Austin (Bender) at third. And we are getting it done in the outfield. We just have to keep getting the innings we need on the mound.”

K.D. Patton came in and got a couple or three innings in the win over Tecumseh and that was good to see.

Innings have been a tough commodity this year as record rainfalls have thrown the spring sports schedule into a complete havok. The Vikings have rescheduled the county rival game with Mount Vernon twice and with heavy rains on Sunday evening and cooler temperatures forecast, it doesn’t seem likely that the game will take place tonight (Monday) either.

“Like I have said all year long, if our hitting comes around and we start putting some runs on the board, and we continue to pitch and defend like we are, we should be in every ballgame with a chance to win,” Reid Said.

Scheller continues to lead the team in hitting but sophomore Alec Werry, if he can get enough at-bats, may challenge for that position.

“Alec is smooth and has some natural ability,” Reid said. “His approach at the plate may be as good as we have. He tracks the ball well at the plate and has good balance. He is aggressive in the zone and if he gets a chance to go after a pitch, he goes after it and he has a nice stroke.”

Werry had one home run during the Tecumseh game and had a second one called back because of a balk called on the pitcher. He also found a dinger against Mount Carmel.

“Then we had a freshman who came in and is catching for us and got his first varsity hit tonight,” Reid said of Ryan Gish. “He is going to be the future there. He got a great RBI tonight.”

Reid also had some kind words for senior Cooper Martin.

“I had been on Cooper a little bit for just not being mentally tenacious,” Reid said. “But tonight he competed on the mound and at the plate. He wasn’t 100 percent because he had some tightness but he gave us three quality innings.”

The Vikings will continue to attempt to get the spring season in between rainstorms.

SPORTS PO P ORT Bobcats dominate Viking junior high track It was a long night for the North Posey Junior High track teams when they traveled to Mount Vernon Tuesday night.

The junior high boys fell to Mount Vernon 99-1, as only one boy placed (Shawn Burks, who finished third in the discus).

The Lady Bobcats also routed the girls 9010.

Lori Willis and Shelby Newcomer scored all the North Posey points, Willis with a second-place finish in the 110-hurdles and a third in the 100-dash, while Newcomer finished second in the 400-dash and the long jump.

The junior high Viking boys recently hosted South Gibson in the first meet where the Gibson Southern feeder schools (Fort Branch and Owensville) consolidated to form a team prior to the Middle School Pocket Athletic Conference meet.

The outcome wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty for either North Posey team, as the boys fell 102-3 and the girls dropped a 79-26 decision.

Caleb Mayer was the only junior Viking boy to score points in the meet, with a second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, while the girls managed to bring home three blue ribbons. They were Newcomer, with a 12-8 long jump, Williams with a :13.8 in the 100dash and the seventh grade 400-meter relay team. Newcomer and Willis were joined by Brandi Garner and Erin Will to post a winning time of 1:00.66.

North Posey also struggled in an earlier meet with Wood Memorial, as the Trojans took the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meet 89 ½-24 ½, while the girls posted an 82-32 victory.

Maier won the 1,600-meters in the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meet (5:42), while Willis and Lauren Gibbs were double winners in the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meet.

Gibbs took blue ribbons in the 100-dash (:14.05) the 100-hurdles (in :19.62, leading a 1-2-3 finish with Maddie Feldrake and Savannah King) , while Gibbs claimed blue ribbons in the shot put (25-2) and the discus (81-8).

By Steve Joos Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ladies and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s women.

Unfortunately for the Mount Vernon softball team, there were plenty of women in the other dugouts last week and the result was somewhat unladylike for the Lady Wildcats in a pair of one-sided losses in games which got away from the Lady Cats.

On Friday, Mount Venron shook off one 10-run deficit to make things closer with Jasper, but still wound up losing by the 10run rule 17-6 one night after dropping an 11-2 make up decision at Tecumseh.

Then the Lady Cats came back right away after visiting Heritage Hills scored four runs in the first two innings on Saturday. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last for long, as the Lady Patriots erupted for nine runs in the fourth and fifth inning to hand the Lady Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a second straight 10-run rule loss 13-3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting seasoned every game,â&#x20AC;?

Wildcat coach Jeff Crabtree said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going up against 18-year-old women and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got girls going out there, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting seasoned in a hurry.â&#x20AC;?

The Lady Cats roughed up Boonville in the early going Friday, but they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hang around that much after cutting the lead in the bottom or the third inning with five runs. A recurring problem for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team struck again against Jasper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking about our defense all year long,â&#x20AC;? Crabtree said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And our defense absolutely just kept us out of the ballgame.

A lot of bad decisions, a lot of not getting the ball, some balls that should have been caught, some errors, mental decisions. We scored six runs on Jasper, which is pretty good, but they scored 17. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that?â&#x20AC;?

One of the things was that it had to be a six run-second inning.

Singles by Tylyn Tanner and Amy Seifert, a stolen base and Megan Montgomeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacrifice fly resulted in a run which cut the Jasper lead to 2-1 in the bottom of the first inning, but the visitors came back with six runs in the top of the second.

A throwing error by starting pitcher Madison Denning, along with doubles by Taylor Main and Darian Bravo and a triple by Samantha Gerber highlighted the second inning, when Jasper stretched the 2-1 advantage to 8-1. They took advantage of some more bad decisions making on the part of the Mount Vernon defense and added three more runs in the top of the third to make the score 11-1 before Mount Vernon was able to show that it could score bunches of runs, too.

Rhylee Ford led off the bottom of the third with a single, Brittany Wilson walked and Tanner was hit by a pitch to load the

bases. Ford scored when she beat the throw on a grounder to second by Seifert, which left the sacks juiced.

Montgomery fanned, but Livia Hopper doubled in two runs and McKenzie Stratton singled in another, shrinking the deficit to 11-5. Hopper crossed the plate on Kira Ironsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grounder to short for the last run of the inning.

That would be all the runs Mount Vernon would get and Jasper came right back, scoring two runs in the top of the fourth before applying the death blow with a four-run fifth.

Jasper coach Tom Ruppert scouted Mount Vernon when they played at Forest Park and had a good game plan, according to Crabtree, so Mount Vernon switched pitchers, going with Denning at the start, but Jasper was ready for her as well.

And they took advantage of Mount Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive breakdowns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working hard,â&#x20AC;? Crabtree said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We scored five, six runs, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them come out and score six.â&#x20AC;?

Especially if some of those runs were unearned.

The Lady Cats have been focusing on first-pitch strikes and the coaches were able to figure out which pitches coming and getting the team to make the right choices, Crabtree said.

The Lady Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; week got off to a late, rainy start Thursday night with an 11-2 loss at Tecumseh.

Once again, Mount Vernon was competitive for a little while. It was 5-2 going into the bottom of the fifth inning when the Lady Braves struck for six runs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were pumped up,â&#x20AC;? Crabtree said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had several lightning delays and we were having fun during the delays. We were down 5-1, but we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep the runs off the board (in the fifth).â&#x20AC;?

Wet conditions in the outfield hampered Mount Vernon, according to the coach, as Tecumseh unleashed a 12-hit attack.

Then on Saturday, the Lady Cats once again got close to their opponents, but once again, the opposition got away from them.

This time, the visiting Heritage Hills Lady Patriots scored nine runs in the fourth and fifth innings for a 14-3 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little disappointed,â&#x20AC;? Crabtree said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started out halfway decent, we were fairly close early. I knew how he (Lady Patriotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach Joe Asbury) was going to use his pitching rotation, he was going to start out with senior and lets her go for two or three innings and then go from there.â&#x20AC;?

The Lady Wildcats got some good hits, but they were still being a little timid at the plate, while the pitchers were giving up a

Viking Junior High tracksters improve Three members of the North Posey Junior High track teams won two blue ribbons each as the Junior High Vikings participated in a recent triangular meet at Pike Central.

The junior high boys finished third and the girls second in a recent triangular meet at Petersburg which pitted North Posey against Pike Central and Tecumseh.

Mac Wright won the 800-meters with time of 2:34.33 as the boys scored 29 points.

Wright also anchored the blue-ribbon winning 1,600-meter relay squad along with Aaron Droste, Alex Taylor and Gabe Mayer (4:40.85).

Lauren Gibbs and Loryn Willis were double winners, with Willis running a leg on the 1,600-relay team as North Poseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls came in second with 47 and one-half points.

Gibbs won the shot put (26 feet and an inch) and the discus (81-six and one-half), going 1-2 in that event with Jasmine Martin (68-five and one half).

Willis took the 100-hurdles (:19.53) and the 100-dash (:13.75), while running a leg on the 1,600-relay with Brandi Carner, Shelby Newcomer and Savannah King (5:15.43).

Newcomer turned in the only other North Posey blue ribbon performance, winning the 400 in 1:09.53. Carner (1:25.72) was fourth in that race, while Newcomer also posted a

second place finish with a 12-fot, three inch long jump.

Viking golfers continue to score well

By Steve Joos The North Posey boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; golf team only played once last week and that may have been just as well, except for the visiting Wood Memorial Trojans.

Dylan Krohn fired a 37 Friday to help put North Posey past Wood Memorial 169184 at Cambridge.

Rainy weather has been playing havoc with just about every athletic schedule in the Tri-State, but the North Posey golfers.

Their lone competition of the week was limited to one of its few good days and the Vikings made the most of it.

In addition to Krohn, the rest of the Viking foursome out shot the Trojans-even Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low scorer.

Alex Wadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 43 was one

which put them either a stroke behind number-two Bear Joe Harrison (40), or a stroke ahead of Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third man, John Berkamp (42). Trevor Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 42 was five shots better than the fifth Bear, Alex Fehr (47), but Dillon was well ahead of everyone else.

The Wildcats were the home team Thursday and they wasted little time getting back on the winning track with a 159-189 drubbing of Reitz.

Grant carded a 37 to lead that pack of Wildcats past the Panthers.

Scheffer came in with a 40, while Key, Reinitz and a non-scoring Andrew Higgins each fired 41s for Mount Vernon. All of those scores were lower than Reitzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low man Eric Hicks.

Wildcat golfers finally lose...barely The Mount Vernon boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; golf team suffered its first loss of the season Tuesday, but the Wildcats didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay down for long.

The rains which soaked Southwestern Indiana Tuesday seemed to miss Evansvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fendrich golf course, which is where the Central Bears dealt visiting Mount Vernon its first dual meet loss of the season 161-163.

The Cats had that tight pack again, as four strokes separated the Mount Vernon foursome, led by Kyle Shefferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 39, but is wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to overcome Cory Dillon, who shot like a Golden Bear, registering a 32 to claim medalist honors and help build a Central cushion the Wildcats just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome.

Sam Key and Joe Reinitz each carded 41s,

stroke behind the numberone Trojan (Kyle McDaniel with a 42), but he and the rest of the Vikingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foursome had enough to get between McDaniel and the rest of the Wood foursome. Ty Butler added a 44 and Clint Cox a 45, matching Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-lowest score, returned in

Castle dominates Wildcat Invitational, Cats win battle for second

beat two Castle hurdlers in the process, which got the Cats off to a good start.

Aaron Straub was second with a six-foot, five-inch high jump, losing to Mater Dei’s Jace Hartz on misses.

Straub’s leap was a personal best, while Reubenacker was fourth at six-three.

Then there was O’Connell.

“Teddy O’Connell threw a personal best,” Brenton said. “I think it was 147-11. That’s tremendous.”

Will Terbeck registered a personal best in the long jump, finished second in the 200-meters and ran a leg on the 400-relar team, all while being a bit under the weather, Brenton said, while John Hoehn had a good run in the 800-meters and Davis went 5-6 in the 300hurdles with Tyler Ritzert.

“A lot of good things were going on tonight,” Brenton said. “They really competed. They really did well.”

The Wildcats have answered the call each time out, Brenton said, adding that the team is motivated to do well due to a number of seniors who want to “put their pictures on the wall” as conference champions.

As for the Vikings, it was all in how the individual athletes did against their previous performances.

“We’re getting some (personal bests) tonight against some really good competition,” North Posey coach Kevin Gengelbach said. It gives us a good idea of how the Sectional is going to be.”

Hunter Motz finished second in the 1,600-meters and third in the 3,200 for North Posey’s best places of the night, while Kurt Seibert (discus), Mitchell Kuhn (400dash) and several other athletes came out and showed improvement, which is what Gengelbach and the rest of the North Posey coaches are looking for.

“We’ve got our work cut out for us,” Gengelbach said of North Posey’s chances in the postseason. “You always do anytime you’re up against the city schools and Mount Vernon, but we’re going to keep working, go in and compete, do the best we can and see if we can get some kids to go on.”

Motz scored most of North Posey’s points, although Kuhn finished and Butch Dessauer each sixth in the 400 and the 110-hurdles to give the Vikings their 16 points.

The Cats were in a fairly comfortable position regarding second place in their invite, finishing nearly 13 points in front of third-place Tell City (62 and one-third).

Memorial (55 and one-third) was fourth, followed by Mater Dei (52), South Spencer (41) and Gibson Southern (39 and one-third). Signature School rounded out the field with nine points.

Both teams were to have participated in the Wednesday’s Princeton Invitational meet, but it was rained out.

Not competing in Princeton may have hampered the Vikings, Gengelbach said, as did the disruptions in practice schedules during the rest of the week.

Brenton, on the other hand, wanted to see how his team would have done against prospective conference competition, since most of the Big Eight schools would have run Wednesday.

By Steve Joos Castle has a very good boys’ track team.

That was one lesson to be learned from Friday’s Mount Vern Invitational meet.

Of course, the host team had its moments as well.

The Wildcats parlayed a series of high finishes to win the battle for second in the meet, scoring 75 points, but they were still well behind the Knights, who dominated the field with 148.

North Posey was ninth in the meet with 16 points.

Teddy O’Connell won the discus with a 147-foot, 11-inch toss as the Wild cats mainly piled up second and third-place finishes to nail what might have been the real race at the meet, thanks to the juggernaut from Warrick County.

Wildcats’ coach Steve Brenton was pleased with the way his team ran, not so much under the circumstances of Friday (a clear evening with pleasant temperatures and moderate winds), but considering the days leading up to the invite.

“Considering the kind of week we’ve had, we really competed well. We only had practice on Tuesday and Thursday,” Brenton said. “Wednesday, we had a meet called off, so I thought we really competed well.”

Brenton was pleased with Dylan Reubenacker and Tim Davis, who went 2-3 in the 110-meter hurdles and

Rynkiewich an asset in the classroom, on the court at UMSL

By Steve Joos Former Mount Vernon girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tennis standout Katie Rynkiewich didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the best day when the MissouriSt. Louis Lady Tritons visited Evansville to play Southern Indiana Wednesday, but she did have something to smile about.

Well, more than one thing.

UMSL nipped USI 5-4, as the Rynkiewich family (her parents, Mike and Teresa Rynkiewich of Mount Vernon, her uncle Paul Rynkiewich, a teacher and coach at North Posey and cousin Freak Rynkiewich a student at USI) came out to watch.

Katie is a junior at Missouri-St. Louis and while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been having trouble being consistent in the ďŹ rst half of the season, Rynkiewich feels sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been getting better with each meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going pretty good,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my third year and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been improving every year. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been having a little trouble at the beginning of this season.â&#x20AC;?

Rynkiewich has been a

major addition to the Lady Triton tennis program, according to coach Rick Gyllenborg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great asset,â&#x20AC;? Gyllenborg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten better every year, she works hard in the off-season, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the hardest workers during the season. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got leadership skills that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to seeing in her senior year.â&#x20AC;?

A lot of close matches in windy conditions have hampered UMSL, as the Lady Tritons are 7-6 through Saturday, when they posted their fourth straight win, 6-3 at Quincy University.

Missouri-St. Louis dropped

its season opener to Bellarmine 5-4 and the team has had its ups and downs throughout the season.

Rynkiewich was 8-12 at fourth singles (they play extra spots at both singles and doubles) and a combined 10-8 at doubles, paired with three different partners (Louisa Werner, Leticia Garcia and Aya Gombo) heading into Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match with Truman State.

Against the Lady Eagles, Rynkiewich and Gombo fell to Logan Ackerman and Stephanie Smith 8-3 at third singles and then Rynkiewich dropped a 2-6, 7-6(7-5), (10-4) decision to Elena Stumpf at fourth singles in a match that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided until after the Lady Tritons had clinched the meet.

Instead of a third set, two players in collegiate tennis (in this case, Rynkiewich and Stumpf) play a â&#x20AC;&#x153;supertiebreakerâ&#x20AC;? to determine a match thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadlocked after two sets. The ďŹ rst player to win 10 games gets the point and match under super tie-breaker rules.

indicative of the kind of season she and the Lady Tritons as a whole, have had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Katie had a tough time in the singles match, but it came down to the wire,â&#x20AC;?

Gyllenborg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inconsistent is a good way to describe it. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a little inconsistent.â&#x20AC;?

She showed considerable improvement over her ďŹ rst two seasons, jumping from 3-11 at singles as a freshman to 12-8 last season. Rynkiewich has been a bit more stable as a doubles player, going 8-11 as a freshman and 8-12 as a sophomore.

She had a 5-3 doubles mark her freshman year.

Rynkiewich has worked on developing her serve at UMSL, trying to use a forehand grip with topspin.

The Lady Tritons have traveled to Alabama and Michigan over the years, while their participation in Great Lakes Valley Conference takes them all over Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin, as well as Indiana.

She topped Clair Conner 6-2, 6-4 in her singles match and then teamed with Garcia for an 8-3 victory over Connor and Brooke Tweedy at third doubles.

On Saturday, Rynkiewich split her matches at Quincy, teaming with Garcia to beat Ashley Ganer and Allison Callihan 9-8 at doubles, but dropping a 6-3, 3-6, 1-0 decision to Anelle Noval at fourth singles as UMSL beat the Hawks 6-3.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more pressure at the college level, Rynkiewich said, adding that that she played more for enjoyment in high school and now she has to follow through more as a collegian. The competition is a lot stronger, Rynkiewich added.

The UMSL coach described Rynkiewichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season as â&#x20AC;&#x153;steadyâ&#x20AC;? and that like the rest of the team, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost some matches that she should have won and viceversa.

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She does a great job of opening up the court,â&#x20AC;? the coach explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She needs to ďŹ nd that once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created the opening, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to ďŹ nd that opening to ďŹ nish the point off.â&#x20AC;?

Rynkiewich has made progress toward using the whole court over the course of her career, the coach added.

A four-year letterwinner who earned All-Big Eight and honorable mention Allstate honors while in high school, Rynkiewich especially credited former coach Tony Bacon for teaching her a lot about composure and staying focused during a match.

She is majoring in anthropology at UMSL, with hopes of going on to graduate school. She is currently weighing several options regarding her postgraduate studies.

But for now, Rynkiewich is working on bettering her game and developing a more consistent game, along with the rest of the team at UMSLâ&#x20AC;Śwhere sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an asset.
