Regardless of school decision, Harmony taxes to go up Without quick decision, school could face loss of ‘window of opportunity’ for choices

By Dave Pearce The sound and optimism of basketball practice in a nearby gymnasium was overcome by distraught looks on the faces of almost everyone present at the New Harmony School Board meeting on Thursday evening. The board gathered for their regular meeting with some 21 citizens also on hand to hear the presentation of analysis done by educational consultant Phyllis Amick regarding the future of New Harmony School.

It was obvious the consultant had painstakingly done her homework but none of the six options was what some in the audience had hoped for…a way to keep a school in New Harmony. But regardless of the decision, which is to be made at the December 8 school board meeting, one thing is sure. Taxes for residents of Harmony Town-

ship are about to go up. The board’s decision will help decide just how much. With full consolidation, the tax rate would likely go up somewhere between 19 to 46 cents per $1000 of assessed property valuation.

With board president Jim Scarafia absent, vice president Jason Wilson turned the floor over to Amick who assured those in attendance that the board and the administration has done a great job with what they have had to work with. The two critical portions of that equation include declining enrollment and funding cuts.

Amick said the administration and board have been caught in a “perfect storm,” as dropping enrollment at the local level and funding cuts at the state level have gone hand-in-hand to make it all but impossible for a school of any kind to

operate in New Harmony.

Amick said that it is imperative that the board act with some haste because of the way school funding comes about. While the amount of money the district receives for the following school year is determined in early September, the school’s budget is done on a calendar year. Therefore changes made much later than December of 2011 or the early part of 2012, put the school in danger of running completely out of funding as moneys from a referendum, should one be approved, would not be available until 2013.

Currently, the school has enough in the Rainy Day fund that it could still be in a good position to pay School consultant Dr. Phyllis Amick, far right, addresses members its way through a “transitioning period.” However, if that money of the board with the results of the analysis of the recently-completed study of the future of New Harmony School.

Grimes Bates is newest Habitat ‘Home’owner will serve as clerk of Poseyville

By Valerie Werkmeister Last Tuesday night, Nancy Grimes was fighting back tears in between congratulatory phone calls.

Shortly after the polls closed at 6 p.m., she received word that she had won the election as the new Poseyville Clerk-Treasurer. She defeated her Democratic challenger, Jennifer Shell, with a total of 167 votes to Shell’s 47.

Grimes, although tired from day-long campaigning, was somewhat emotional with the win.

She brushed away tears as she said, “I’m Grimes humbled that the townspeople had enough confidence in me. I know it’s not going to be an easy job. I know the town and the girls in the office have gone above and beyond to make things right again. I just want to help out as much as I can.”

Grimes was referencing the aftermath left behind by former clerk-

By Dave Pearce On Thursday evening at 5:30 p.m., Shawnte Bates had a house full of company and she didn’t even have the keys to the house yet.

But only moments later, in front of a room filled with workers, contributors, friends and wellwishers, Bates received the keys to Mount Vernon’s newest Habitat for Humanity home, located at thee corner of Second and Kimball streets in Mount Vernon.

An emotional Bates cited several scripture readings in her pledge to make this reality not only a house but first and foremost a home for her family. She tearfully thanked all who had a hand in any portion of the project, completed in Mount Vernon under the auspices of the Evansville Habitat for Humanity.

The home, whose primary sponsors were the Mount Vernon Ministerial Association and Countrymark, was completed in just about six weeks as workers from several local employers and organizations donated their time to see that Bates and her son Malachi will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving in their new Mount Vernon home this year.

MSDMV looks at insurance options

By Rhys Mathew The Mount Vernon School Board has decided to research new group insurance possibilities, particularly health insurance.

At it regular meeting on Monday, Nov. 10 at the Mount Vernon Junior High School media center the board approved a contract with Education Services Company. ESC is a well-known source for professional support for Indiana schools.

ESC will assist the board in designing a Request for Proposal, advertising to consultants and in selecting and interviewing finalists. ESC will also prepare a recommendation for the board regarding group insurance consulting.

The district currently works with Aon Consulting for group insurance, but plans to take proposals from other consultants because of the decreasing ability of the district to provide additional funding toward employee benefits. This decrease in funding has meant that employees have had to pick up the slack and pay more.

At the meeting, the board also

Public sends loud, clear message in Mount Vernon, Tucker re-elected

Upon official notification that he had won a second term as mayor of Mount Vernon, John Tucker pulls out a pipe, a trademark of longtime Mount Vernon Mayor Jackson Higgins, and gives the mayor a “thumbs up.” Tucker said he is honored that the people of Mount Vernon had enough confidence in him to allow him to remain in office and complete several projects began under his administration.

By Dave Pearce Elections in Posey County returned to what Posey County people have come to know as “normal” last Tuesday after John Tucker defeated his GOP opponent Paul Watzlavik 1,345 to 753. Democrats have held a virtual lock on the Mount Vernon Mayor’s office since Democrat Jackson Higgins served for nearly 35 years beginning in the late 1970s.

Last year’s swing toward the Republican Party with a nearly nation-wide success enjoyed by all the GOP candidates, including most of Posey County’s elected offices, came to a halt in Mount Vernon on Tuesday. Sue Shelton defeated Ron Sallee 265-130 in Ward One and Becky Higgins defeated John Gerton 1227-847 in the race for Council at Large. The only Republican to win in Mount Vernon was incumbent Andy Hoehn, who narrowly defeated political newcomer Ed Adams 291-279 to retain his seat in District Three of the Mount Vernon City Council. Democratic Clerk-Treasurer candidate Denise Dike ran unopposed for the position being vacated by Democrat Kristi Saltzman.

While the Democrats were celebrating at the Posey County Senior Center in Kiwanis Park this year, due to some construction work, the theme was the same as John Tucker said following the election.

“We have some really big projects going on here in Mount Vernon and most of them are being done with grants and stimulus money,” Tucker said. “I just appreciate the fact that the people of Mount Vernon thought enough of me to give me a chance to see these projects through to completion.”

Tucker said he has been very conscientious and when he ran four years ago, he kept a record or a log of what the people of the community indicated they

wanted the most. He has concentrated on those items.

His devotion to the job and his ability to obtain funding for the projects won over at least one Mount Vernon businessman.

“I don’t mind saying that I did not vote for John in the last Primary election four years ago,” manager of McKim’s IGA in Mount Vernon. “But he has kept his promises and he has tried to do everything he said he would do. That’s all you can ask for. I definitely voted for him this time.”

“I heard ‘John, get that waterworks fixed because we are tired of boil orders’,” Tucker said. “’John, get the sewer plant fixed because we are tired of flushing the toilets and the sewage going where it is not supposed to go,’ and ‘John, do something with that riverfront.’ So we did.”

But Tucker was the first to admit that the repairs did not come without a price. However, he said the key to the improvements in Mount Vernon has been surrounding himself with good people who were willing to work long and hard to find grant money to complete the projects without using tax money from the town’s residents.

Tucker’s opponent in the race Paul Watzlavik was gracious in defeat as the Republicans again met at the Elks Club in Mount Vernon.

“We fought the good fight and came up a little short,” Watzlavik said following the election. “The public has spoken and now we need to get behind our mayor and try to make Mount Vernon an even better place to live.”

“We ran a campaign that we can be proud of,” said Holly Watzlavik, wife of the mayoral candidate.

Election, From Page 1A

After the election, Tucker reported that a lease has been approved and signed that will move the Mount Vernon Parks and Recreation Department from the present location above the old skating rink in Mount Vernon to the recentlyevacuated Hedges Central School building.

“We are hoping that by the end of the year or the first of next that we can get the youth center moved to the Hedges building,” Tucker said. “We are going to rent both gymnasiums and that way they will be able to continue to have skating and the other gym will be used for volleyball and basketball. The Parks

and Recreation Department, it is my understanding, has already signed the contracts.”

So what will happen to the old Armory Building where the Parks Department and the skating rink are presently located?

“The Landing,” Tucker said with a smile. “This is a $7.9 million project which will be part of a long-term lease. We will retain ownership. The advantage to that is that they will be accountable to the state as to how the Landing is run but they will also have accountability to the city. If we see it is not being run the way it should, we will have the option to get involved.”

Tucker said the margin of victory was somewhat of a surprise to him as many

people had told him that the election would be close.

But when the election was over, nearly two-thirds of the voters of Mount Vernon gave Tucker a continuing opportunity to complete projects which are currently going on.

In Poseyville, Republican Nancy Grimes was elected clerk-treasurer, defeating Jennifer Shell 16747.

Republican Scott Cox was the top vote-getter in the Cynthiana Town Council race with 65 votes. Joining him on the council will be Democrats Gary Smith, with 60 votes and James Sheets, who garnered 56.

Daniel Rice received 39 votes, Jo Franklin, 42, Jeffrey Taylor, 14, and John Hall, 44.

approved new hires, including Melissa Bachicha as a speech/language pathologist for Marrs Elementary, Sherri Schroeder as a computer lab and teacher assistant for West, Jennifer Schmidt as assistant girls’ basketball coach at the junior high, and John Schelhorn as assistant boys’ basketball coach and Kevin Brown as assistant baseball coach, both at the high school.

Community members were appointed to the Community Textbook Advisory Committee. The committee will be reviewing textbooks for miscellaneous subjects this year, including Art, Music, Business, Industrial Technology and Family/Consumer Sciences.

The Mount Vernon School Board’s next meeting will take place on Nov. 21 at 5:45 p.m. at the Junior High School.

Grimes, from Page 1A treasurer Chris Lupfer, who stole over $45,000 in funds from the town.

When asked about her current employer’s thoughts on the election, she stated she had their support.

“They knew this is what I wanted and they wished me the best of luck,” she said. “I look forward to being back in Poseyville fulltime and seeing the people that voted for me on a daily basis,” she added.

Poseyville Town Coun-

cil President Bruce Baker stated he was pleased with the voter turn-out and looked forward to working with Nancy again. He hoped to have a good experience with Grimes as the town moves forward and continues its work toward future economic development and protecting the interests of its townspeople.

This will mark Grimes’ second time in office. She also served as clerk-treasurer from 2000-2004.

vember 15, 2011. The goal is to encourage broader participation by area artists.

According to Logo Committee Co-Chair, Maggie Rapp, the judges met to review logo submissions and decided that none of the entries, to date, expressed the logo in a way that captured the past, present and future of New Harmony.

Also, several of the design entries would not reduce or enlarge well for use on commemorative merchandising, such as mugs, glasses, or key chains. With these stipulations in mind, it was decided to solicit additional

entries by extending the contest deadline, and to allow artists, who had previously submitted entries, the opportunity to modify their designs. The specifications that only one logo design can be submitted per artist and that each logo must include the phrase “New Harmony Bicentennial” and “1814-2014,” still apply. Also, all entries must be original designs.

More information and contest rules are available at www.usi.edu/nhgallery and at www.hoosiersalon. org/newharmony.html, or you may call 812-682-3156.

Applications can also be picked up at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art, 506 Main Street.

Artwork will be judged on artistic merit, creativity, and relevance to the history of New Harmony. Completed applications, along with logo designs must be submitted no later than November 15, 2011, at 5 p.m.

State Police increase patrols for Holidays In an effort to make the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday travel period safer, Indiana State Police along with nearly 250 other Indiana law enforcement agencies will be participating in the annual Click it or Ticket - Safe Family Travel campaign. Beginning Friday, November 11th, Indiana State Police will be conducting high visibility enforcement efforts including sobriety check points and saturation patrols targeting impaired drivers and unrestrained motorists.

Last year 135 people were killed on Hoosier highways involving an impaired driver. Nearly 25 percent of all fatal collisions were alcohol related. Since 2006, approximately one in every five fatal crashes on Indiana roadways involved an impaired driver.

Troopers want to remind all motorists and passengers the importance of buckling up. Of the 754 people killed on Indiana roadways in 2010, 54 percent were found to be unrestrained. Your chances of survival in a rollover crash increase by 75 percent if you are restrained, according to NHTSA. Please help do your part to make the Thanksgiving holiday travel period safe by observing the following safety tips.

If you are planning to travel make sure you are well rested, a fatigued driver is a dangerous driver.Avoid tailgating; remember the two-second rule. Make sure everyone is buckled up. Don’t use your cell phone while driving. Don’t drink and drive. Move over, and slow down for emergency and highway service vehicles.

Sermon of the Week: Dreaming God Dreams

By Pastor Rick Sellers Mount Zion General Baptist Church When God began this world (Genesis 1) by speaking every part into its specific place He did so with timing and perfection. Everything God made, everything He set into motion truly is above our ability to fully comprehend.

Every day, science is making new discoveries in the far reaches of space which declare the glory of our God. This is really big! To discover that there are planets and solar systems gazillions of miles out there is just far too big for me to comprehend. This is really huge!

Discoveries deep in the ground also intrigue the minds of those who study to learn more about our very own planet. When I learned that our planet, without the gravitational pull, would “fling” every one of us out into space because of earth is spinning so fast, I return to the amazing fact that this was God’s doing.

God is responsible for establishing every aspect of this planets design in order to hold us in place, to live and breathe and accomplish so much.

Then, again this goes back to those first six days of our planet’s existence, to discover the ways in which our human bodies successfully function is another wonder to behold. All of our senses function together. When those of us who have the lack of one or more of those senses there seems to be compensation in one or more of the other senses which take over.

How the heart pumps blood to all the major organs and all throughout the body, to the firing of the brains electronic pulses which maintain the activity of the heart and all those very same organs. The fact that human beings were made in the image of God, a blessing which exemplifies God’s desire to establish mankind above all of His great works…This is truly amazing!

To understand all that our God has accomplished and to see things the way He sees them is certainly a valid and important point which should not be missed.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish” – Proverbs 29:18a (KJV) Without an understanding of God’s vision there really is no understanding at all. Science

can explore the far reaches of space, the depths of planet earth and all the intrinsic workings of the human body and never fully comprehend how everything can function so perfectly. This is because when God created all things He set everything in motion with purpose and reason.

God had a dream that all creation would stand up and take notice, especially the greatest of His creation, mankind. It is interesting that of all His creation, He invested so much more into the care and positioning of mankind for the purpose of elevating all praise to Him, the Creator?

God had a cream that all would remain in communion with Him. The Scriptures remind us of the will of God. Hear the Words of Jesus Himself: 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and be-

lieves in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” – John 6:3840 (NKJV) It was, and still is God’s dream that His creation will stand up and bring honor to Him. To honor God’s dream it is the responsibility of all Christ followers to point to their Creator. If it is the will and purpose of God that all have eternal life then all those who have been enlightened ought to share in that same dream.

The farthest expanse of space, the depths and workings of our planet and the intrinsic workings of the human body are entirely too much to wrap my mind around. But the dream of God to reach our world with this great message of hope, now that is something I can grasp!

What is your dream? Where is your eternal destination? Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6 (NKJV) If heaven is your goal then Jesus Christ must be the “door” through which you enter. Enter in through Him. When you do, you will know what God’s dream is all about.

more money. Amick said this option was not attractive because the New Harmony School Corporation would have to cease to exist financially and operationally for a Charter School to even be a consideration.

Option Six calls for a restructuring of the current school system which Amick said might work well through a transitional period but certainly not for the long term. This option would entail teacher and program cuts while a resolution to the issue is attained. In a study done by the New Harmony Student Council, 24 percent of the students have indicated they will not attend New Harmony School next year if it appears consolidation is imminent. That would mean less money and less funding in the near future.

Based on the information presented, Amick added that it appears that the school and the county population will continue to decline as will student state funding, now at $7000 per student in New Harmony. She continued that a reduction in force (teacher cuts) and program cuts would need to begin immediately and would make the transition even more difficult.

Amick said a delay of the decision would do nothing but delay the possibility of getting a consolidation or a referendum on the May 2012 ballot.

Board members asked multiple questions of Amick but perhaps the most significant was a direct question by school board member Brenda Butman.

“What you are saying, if I hear you correctly, is that in a year, we will not have what here what we have now,” Butman mused.

“And if we either get it done in 2012 or we will have to delay it a whole year and lose out on our window of opportunity for the other options.”

“That is correct,” Amick replied.

Board member Jason Wilson pointed out that while 13 seniors will graduate this year, an incoming kindergarten class is expected to replace that class with only two new students, a net result of the loss of 11 more students, or $77,000.

Board member Curt Schmitt, with some quick math, glanced at the possibility of private funding or grants and realized that it is virtually guaranteed that at the very best case scenario, the district would have to raise $1.8 million over the next four years and be moving toward sustainability to remain open.

Board member Jim Egan addressed the issue of a referendum and what would happen if the school were to remain open and get a referendum on the ballot and the referendum passed but continued declining enrollment and state cuts made it impossible to keep the school open. What then?

Amick responded that the school could then be in uncharted waters as there have been very few consolidations since the late 1960s and current law does not address some situations, including this one.

Teacher Rick Johnson, a self-proclaimed “eternal optimist” asked the board if exit sessions had been done with students and teachers leaving the district to find out why, He also asked if the board had considered some type of buy-out for teachers at or nearing retirement age to hire younger teachers and save money.

Townspeople Debbie Like said it is the communities responsibility to provide an education for students while New Harmony Town Council member expressed concern over the tax rate increase given some of the options. Local business operator Chris Laughbaum expressed concern over the added tax burden on local businesses who are already struggling.

Former Board Member Ken Meyer said that he commended the board and he hopes that whatever decision is made, the people of the community will realize how much time and sleepless nights have gone into this difficult decision.

The board meets again on Dec. 8, 2012 at the New Harmony School Library. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. and a decision is expected to be made during the meeting.

The entire 72-page document is available on a link at poseycountynews.com.

New Harmony School, from Page 1A for day-to-day operational expenses and enrollment should spiral downward in anticipation of a school closure, the board could find itself in a dire situation.

The other deadline the school faces is that for New Harmony School Corporation to consolidate with any other school corporation, it requires that a plan be drawn up and the other school corporation must be solvent enough to be willing to take on both the assets and the debts at New Harmony. Currently, adding New Harmony to one of the other county school corporations would probably be seen as positive in their eyes. However, if New Harmony runs completely out of funds, not only would the consolidation be less attractive to nearby school corporations but it would also be unlikely that the state would allow either of the two school corporations to take on New Harmony if it is in an economically challenged situation. Any consolidation plan must be approved by the Indiana Department of Education.

Amick presented the six options to the board, just as she has done in at least two town hall-type meetings but on Thursday, Amick gave her analysis at to which one she felt was the most desirable. She qualified her statements with the fact that she is just a consultant and that the board could consider her findings and use one or parts of them or could go back and start over again. Her findings were given to the board in a 72-page document which she summarized as follows during the meeting.

Option One called for school continuation in New Harmony through creative funding and private donations. Amick said that such a plan is not a realistic option because it would require the raising of and additional $500,000 to $700,000 annually based on current state funding and current enrollment.

Should either of those numbers decline, the amount of money required annually would increase. Should grants be sought to help the situation, it typically takes one to two years for grants to be awarded and by that time New Harmony School would most likely be

running in the red with no promise of future funding. Grants traditionally require movement toward self-sustainability and that could also deter the procurement of grants.

Option Two called for the district to consolidate but keep an elementary school in New Harmony. Amick also called this option “unlikely.” If the current trend continues, a New Harmony School elementary school would have only 40 students. This option would have the same effect on taxpayers and would make consolidation with New Harmony unattractive to either of the other two corporations in the county.

Option Three calls for complete consolidation of the school corporation. Amick presented this as the most logical choice “when you think with your head and not year heart.”

This option would allow students greater curriculum and athletic opportunities, particularly at the high school level where state scores were expected to be less than desirable when presented this year.

While Amick acknowledged that losing its school is always a negative impact for a community, this option is the one that appears to be the best for long-term sustainability for the students and the citizens’ obligation to provide education for them.

A consolidation plan could be placed on the May (Primary) 2012 election ballot of both New Harmony and the new consolidation district. If approved, transitional steps could begin. If either of the communities should vote against the consolidation, the option could not be brought to a vote again for a period of one full year.

Option Four calls for a tax referendum to be on the Harmony Township ballot in 2012.

Amick said that this option would likely result in a tax increase of about 300 percent based on current enrollment and funding with no guarantee of sustainability should the district continue to lose students and/or state funding.

Option Five calls for a charter school in New Harmony but the scenario would remain the same as less students would mean

BUSINESS

Restaurant Review -- Nisbet celebrates 99th year with fond memories

By Rhys Mathew I visited the Nisbet Inn on Friday, Nov. 11, to celebrate the tavern’s 99th anniversary. Owners Jim and Becky Harl sat down to a delicious lunch with me to share some of the history of the business as well as the troubles and rewards of owning a small business.

The Harl’s have owned the business since Oct. 21, 2004; surprisingly, after almost a hundred years of operation, the Harl’s are only the sixth owners. Jim Harl said, “I rode the bus by this place when I was a kid, and I remember thinking how beautiful it was. I wanted this particular place, and it happened to be for sale at the right time at the right price.”

The Nisbet Inn was originally opened as a railroad stop, with a tavern, grocery store and six boarding rooms. The tavern survived the Prohibition by functioning as a granary; a hard ware store was added in the 1950s.

The tavern boasts original tin ceilings and the original bar mirror, which returned to the Nisbet after traveling around the area and staying for a short while at the Knights of Saint John in Saint Wendel. Original murals in the family room are rumored to have been painted by a penniless Frenchman in exchange for room and board.

The front of the building was damaged in the past months’ tornadoes, but Becky Harl said they worked hard to restore the building with time-period accurate details.

“We had work done by a specialty business to repair the balcony, and we had hoped to have a replica of the sign made, but the art-

ist who repaired the sign in the past wasn’t able to do the work. We ended up being able to use the frame of the original sign around the new tin sign.”

A homey, welcoming feel distinguishes this tavern from others in the area. The walls are covered with both antique signs and photos of previous owners and operators. Becky Harl smokes all the meat and the kitchen offers classic recipes such as German potato salad. Homemade deserts include “Better Than Your Husband”, a mixture of chocolate and vanilla pudding with in a crust, and delicious coconut pie topped with a light meringue. The final touch on the atmosphere is a clear frontwindow view of nothing but farmland, not a common landscape for today’s tavern or restaurant.

The Harls keep this tavern operating smoothly, but like operating any small business, it isn’t easy. Becky Harl believes the hardest part of owning a small business is juggling the business with family time.

“The reason we’re able to do that and be successful is the great help we have here,” Becky said. Bobby Beaven, Dana Thornburg and Danielle Crawford have been with us since the beginning.”

But Jim says owning the business is also very rewarding. “It’s a chance to be a part of something special. The stories and memories that are passed down and the relationships you form make it worth while.”

Becky Harl agreed, adding, “The people who pass through the area a few times a year but always stop in are a great sign of our success here.”

is the first time the vehicle will be exported outside of North America. Shipments are scheduled to begin in early November.

Sienna exports to South Korea are forecasted initially at about 600 units annually.

TMMI President Norm Bafunno and Corporate Adviser Kaz Oi were in Seoul for the kickoff event.

“TMMI just celebrated its 15th anniversary,” Bafunno told the audience in Korea.

“During that time, our team members worked hard to earn a reputation among customers for building high-quality vehicles.”

Bafunno described the Sienna exports as “an exciting new opportunity to expand TMMI’s reputation

internationally.”

Toyota began exporting U.S.-built vehicles in 1988.

These exports increased 30 percent in 2010 to about 100,000 units. With the start of these shipments to South Korea, Toyota will now export U.S.-assembled vehicles to 19 countries around the world.

Other exported vehicles include the TMMI-produced Sequoia SUV; the Kentucky-built Avalon sedan; and the Texas-assembled Tacoma and Tundra pickup trucks. Combined, these three U.S. plants directly employ more than 12,500 team members.

They also are responsible for an estimated 65,000 other U.S. jobs at vendors and suppliers.

“Toyota’s North American operations are constantly working to identify and expand new export opportunities for the vehicles we produce here, building on our extensive investment in auto production, research and development in the U.S. and helping to maintain a strong, stable base of jobs,” said Yoshimi Inaba, president and chief operating officer of Toyota Motor North America. “With this development and other possible achievements in the future, we hope to continue boosting exports from our North American operations.”

Keith Spurgeon, Chairman of the 2011 United Way of Posey County campaign, announced today that the campaign drive has reached 26% of the $640,000 goal.

He asked everyone to make a contribution or pledge to help reach the goal. “It is important to have a successful United Way campaign so that needs of the people in our community are met in whatever situation arises. Our United Way of Posey County is a local organization and funds raised stay here to provide services to everyone in Posey County.

This is about Local People helping Local People, and it is even more important now in the current economy.”

Contributions will help to fund United Way programs such as the local Gifts In Kind program and Information and Referral Assistance

as well as 20 local agencies receiving funds this year that provide services to the people of Posey County, including: Albion Fellows Bacon Center, American Red Cross Posey County Chapter, Boy Scouts of America Buffalo Trace Council, Catholic Charities, Children’s Learning Center, Christian Church Day Care Center, Community Emergency Assistance, ECHO Community Health Care, Family Matters, Homeless Shelter of Mount Vernon, Indiana Legal Services, Lampion Center, New Harmony Ministry Association, Posey County Council on Aging, Posey County Rehabilitation Services, Rehabilitation Center, Salvation Army, Visiting Nurse Association of Southwestern Indiana, WNIN Radio Reading Program, and Willow Tree of Posey County.

Other services provided for Posey County are 2-1-1, the easily-remembered number to call for access to information about resources and assistance in Posey County, and the prescription drug discount program.

Jon Neufelder, President of the United Way of Posey County, said “When we all work together to have a great United Way campaign in Posey County, we can be sure services and programs are available. Thank you to the Posey County community for your continued generosity and support.”

Contributions may be sent to the United Way of Posey County at P.O. Box 562, Mount Vernon, Ind. 47620.

4-H show arena project becoming a reality Some time ago several interested persons determined that the livestock barns and show arena at the Posey County Fairgrounds needed attention. Many of the structures were built in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although many donations in time and materials have been made through the years the current facilities aren’t adequate to provide for the number of exhibits, the proper safety for both participants and the general public as well as the animals.

For those reasons a number of ideas were put forth to improve the facilities some of these involving new buildings while other suggested refurbishing existing shelters.

At a recent Fair Board meeting approval to purchase a 60’ X 80’ Steel Structure was given contingent on a report that is forthcoming from DNR regarding elevation requirements. Once the engineering report is received the purchase will be finalized with hoped for plans to begin erection by early spring. A fund raising effort

has yielded approximately 75 percent of the amount needed to purchase the building and provide for its erection but that is only about 45 percent of the total projected cost which includes engineering, excavation, ventilation, and electrical. The project is proceeding based on the confidence that our community will add to the $41,000 that we now have in the bank providing the balance of the funds by the time they are needed.

If you would like to become part of this effort please send your donations to “BARNS PROJECT “ P. O. Box 565 Mount Vernon, Ind. 47620. Jim Swinney, Funds Chairman; B. J. Reynolds, Building Chairman; Jon Neufelder, County Extension Agent or any of the members of the Posey County Fair Board would be pleased to answer questions on this project. The facility being planned should make a major improvement to the grounds for many years to come.

OPINION

Mind travel, a new, less expensive alternative to going someplace Men are masterminds.

I’m not sure a lot of women will agree with that statement but let me take you through some of the steps that led me to this conclusion and the “real” reason for declar- TRUTH... ing myself a member of STRANGER the “masterminds.”

THAN If things at your house FICTION are like mine, more things happen in your mind than BY DAVE in reality. Therefore, PEARCE that qualifies you to be a member of the masterminds club. I could go on and on with this but I’ll bet there are a few men out there reading this that could write their own columns about the same subject. But if they did, I’ll bet even more would have to go on in their minds than in their homes. I’ll just leave it at that for the time being.

But this week, my wife gave me an awesome opportunity.

While I have admitted that I have had a little bit of a break between sports seasons, it hasn’t kept my mind from working overtime. You see, I have always loved to camp and fish. I have hunted a little but never was too successful but when it comes to camping out and fishing, I can hang with the best of them.

I’m not sure I have been “camping” since I got married well over 20 years ago. There was one or two nights I took the church youth group on a campout and there were a couple of times when we got close to camping…we spent the night in a camping trailer one time and another night or two we spent in a lodge but real camping, not sure my wife has ever been and at this point in her life and our married lives, I doubt she ever will.

But this week she went on a camping

trip with me and she never even knew it. Again, you have to be a mastermind.

With the fall temperatures almost perfect for camping out late last week, I began to think about the days when I used to camp.

I carried a Coleman tent about every where I went and when I got the opportunity to use it, I did.

I also carried a “blowup” air mattress. I’m guessing it was easier to sleep on one of them back then than it would be today but again, I’m going with the mastermind theory.

So on Monday, I beat my wife home from work. That is a rare happening because I am usually busy putting the paper together long after she has arrived home from her job at the bank. But I decided I would try and make things a little more pleasant for the evening.

I got to Hirsh’s before closing time and bought some fresh chicken breasts and some of their fresh ground beef. If you haven’t had it, you need to try it.

Not sure there’s any around here like it anymore. But that’s another subject.

So I got home and took the cover off the grill. I lit the gas grill (all the while imagining I was lighting the charcoal) and decided to come on into the house to let the grill get good and hot.

I walked through the door and decided that if I were going to camp out, I would need some paper plates and paper towels for napkins. When my wife got home, she had a project to work on so almost immediately went upstairs.

She left me downstairs to fend off the varmits that might come around while I was fixin supper.

So I sat things us just as nice as they are on the picnic table in the woods and

I shaped the hamburgers and took the chicken breasts out to the grill and I was having myself a throwback party.

We had noticed earlier in the week there had been a few fruitfly-looking bugs in the house but I just figured I had let the bananas lay on the counter too long and when I threw out the bananas, the flies would go too.

But as I brought in the bounty of the day’s meal, I noticed there seemed to be more of the flies than I had seen before.

So between my wife and I, we were determined to find out where they were coming from.

As we sat down to eat, it was camping just like I remembered it. Food cooked on the grill and eating on paper plates and drinking out of tin cans. And on this night, we even had to combat the flies while we ate. How much more genuine could it get?

As the meal finished up and we were

putting things away, I noticed the flies seemed to be mostly around something we used to keep onions in the refrigerator. It was the shape of an onion and looked just like an onion but it was used to keep the smell of the onion from getting into other foods when it was in the refrigerator. I assumed it was empty.

My wife picked it up and opened it and bam, we have figured out where the flies were coming from. That onion had a green stalk on it four or five inches long that had grown and wrapped around the onion that had been left on the counter, for maybe months.

I couldn’t help but smile as she threw it in the trash and got it out of the kitchen. She hadn’t realized it but the little onion container had added some authenticity to my imaginary camping trip. Hey, stay tuned. Who knows where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing this time next week…at least in my mind.

Letters to the Editor United Way gives community opportunity to shine The United Way of Posey County Campaign is in full swing. It is exciting and truly gratifying to read about all the citizens of Posey County who have made a difference in their community by donating to the United Way each week in the local papers.

I’m especially proud of and thankful for all the parents, teachers and students in our local schools who have participated in some way, to make a donation to help those less fortunate in our community.

I hope that you will join me and all your neighbors in making a donation to this year’s campaign. As you may be aware, the United Way of Posey County been approved for a matching grant of over $65,000, if we can raise a matching amount in new funds, over what our campaign tallied last year. If we are successful in raising this match amount, it will go to help establish Big Brothers and Big Sisters here in Posey County; provide funds to help more people in our community who strug-

gle from paycheck to paycheck through the Neighbor to Neighbor program; and provide additional needed funding for ECHO Community Health Care to help provide services for those in need, right here in our Posey County communities.

If you would like more information on the agencies we fund, would like to make a donation, or need help for yourself or someone you know, please call the United Way of Posey County at: 838-3637 or 211.

County Clerk acknowledges, appreciates election help The Mount Vernon Municipal Election of November 2011 is history for Mount Vernon.

Voting is a privilege for U.S citizens over the age of 18 should cherish. Some countries no longer have the right to vote. Our great country still allows it and we should be proud.

Behind the scenes of this activity is a group of hard workers. They don’t come to the front line and get little recognition but the process is totally impossible without them.

I’m speaking of: Election room workers who handle the registration process, keep records accurate, current and confidential. This would be Kay Kilgore, Chelsea Blackburn and Susan Harrison.

There are the office workers who help with the phones during this long process. They step in willingly.

None of us know all the answers but we take messages, and return calls as needed. This team consists of: Brittney Givens, Jaime Simpson and Donna Curtis.

The Travel team Barbara McCoy and Anna Droege are appointees who gathered for a day to ensure shut-ins could exercise this privilege.

The Inspectors, Judges and Clerks you meet at the

Polls gave a day to help the citizens of Mount Vernon.

They sit through and evening of training prior to the day to learn of new laws and different ideas about how to best do the job expected of them. Their day is long, beginning at 5 p.m .and working until closing at 6 p.m.; then through the count and take down of equipment, usually ending more than an hour later than polls close.

Some even find themselves delivering information to the Courthouse.

There’s our sheriff ever ready for our protection should we have a rowdy crowd gather.

The company representatives who prepare the machines; and our on-the-job field tech Keith Oeth, ready to fix any problems.

The Election Board members who met several times to discuss laws and changes to improved ways of serving the public; Brenda Goff and Ron Bennett.

The volunteers who open the buildings so other volunteers can deliver and set up the voting machines and tables; the cooks who so willingly serve the meals; and then there’s a group who arrives the day after election to gather and return the equipment delivered 2 days prior. With another week of behind the scenes

The process went smoothly because of all of you. Please know all you did for Mount Vernon and Posey County is appreciated.

Gavel Gamut’s The American Criminal Justice System is not broken, but we may go broke if we do not modify our approach to it. Normally when we see studies or read news accounts or experience the criminal justice system ourselves we think of modifying the behavior or those who violate the law. But the criminal justice equation has two sides: (1) the criminal; and (2) the system. And, as we learned in high school algebra, when you modify an equation by simply addressing one side, you end up with a skewed result. The same is true with our approach to solving our culture’s emphasis on punishing a miscreant for illegal behavior while we fail to adequately factor in the need to alter our own approach.

It is reminiscent to me of the old adage about the definition of insanity. When one, or a society, repeats the same behavior and expects a different result, we might question our rationality.

Last week we were discussing reconation, i.e., the process of altering the process of decision making by concentrating on the confluence of the body, mind and spirit. Naturally, those of us who work within the criminal justice system think first, and

United-we can make a difference Many non-profits are feeling the impact of the recent economic downturn. They are seeing increased need and decreased donation.

These charities provide invaluable services in our community. It is important to me that I advocate for local support of these organizations, which is why I have been highlighting various charities throughout the past few weeks.

When a community unites together to solve problems, real differences can be made.

United Way of Southwestern Indiana and United Way of Posey County work every day to provide for many in need.

The key to United Way’s success is that they bring individuals from diverse backgrounds and professions together to accumulate the expertise that will lead to lasting change in Southwestern, Indiana.

I feel passionate about United Way’s mission in that they are not just focused on putting band-aids on problems, but on addressing the underlying roots. Too often, we work to fix problems after they have already occurred, but to see systematic change we must address the issues before they become problems.

United Way has identified education, in-

come and health as three most critical aspects to a person’s success. Education is power, power to rise out of poverty and power to attain a job. When a steady job has been attained, a family can be provided for and good health creates a higher quality of life.

Everyone deserves to live a quality life and united together, we can make this happen in our community. Volunteering or donating to United Way is great way to start. I encourage you to support these wonderful organizations in any way you can.

United Way of Posey County will be celebrating their 50th anniversary next year. They have launched a United Way Campaign to celebrate this monumental achievement and they need your help to reach their goals of raising $640,000.

Your donations will go toward supporting programs that provide job training, healthcare and many other needed services. To find out more information on donating call: (812) 838-3637.

The United Way of Southwestern Indiana is currently holding their annual fundraising campaign. To donate visit: https://www.unitedwayswi.org/online_giving.asp.

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE viewpoint. But how can we improve the system if we concentrate only on the raw material that enters the production line and ignore the line itself?

There is no shortage of expert and other opinion as to what makes criminals tick, or, in other words, what is wrong with “those people”.

However, there is a dearth of scholarly or even coffee table opinions on what is counterproductive with the rest of us.

If one watches the glut of special programs and news reports about our drug and alcohol problem, child abuse, theft, etc., there is little room for doubt: lock ‘em up where the sun doesn’t shine, an understandable emotion but satisfying for only the nonce.

Soon reality sets in and the costs overwhelm us.

So for a little while, if you have the time and inclina-

tion, I would like for us to think about ourselves more than the criminals. Let’s put society first and ponder our own reconation. Perhaps that most puzzling of factors, collective revenge, might be a good place to start.

But just before we delve into the dark world of our knee jerk reaction to bad behavior by other people, a short thought about the state of our economy might shed some light. If we ignore the per criminal cost of judges, prosecutors, probation and parole officers, court reporters, courtrooms and law enforcement officers and just consider the cost per incarcerated inmate per year, we Hoosiers spend about $20,000. Now just imagine that cost with factors for all those other items. And we have not mentioned lost productivity and family welfare costs.

Okay, back to our Pound of Flesh. As the ancient Greeks and William Shakespeare have already mined revenge for all its dark value, I will simply refer to the lessons they have tried to teach us.

Starting with Aeschylus’s Oresteia we learn that revenge has no end. From generation to generation the sins of the parents are visited WRITER / REPORTER RHYS MATHEW WRITER / REPORTER VALERIE WERKMEISTER STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERS THE DAVE & TERRI KOCH FAMILY

on the descendants and vice versa. Of course, Portia in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice explains to Shylock why for his own good he should forego his pound of flesh. As she says in Act IV, scene 1: “The quality of mercy is not strained, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath.”

“It is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. …It is an attribute to God himself …Though justice be thy plea consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation.”

And that brilliant contemporary of Shakespeare, Francis Bacon (1561-1626), said of revenge: “Revenge is a kind of wild justice; which the more man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out. …This is certain, that a man that studieth revenge, keeps his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.”

It is not that society should not protect itself from criminals. It is that there may be better ways to do so. We’ll keep looking next week.

Lady Wildcats thump Central, Bosse to open season

By Steve Joos Three Bosse Lady Bulldogs hit double figures in Saturday’s girls’ basketball game with visiting Mount Vernon.

The Lady Bulldogs also drained five threepoint baskets, to none for the Lady Wildcats.

And Mount Vernon still came away with its second win of the year.

Jacey Ritzert, Ellen Foster and Megan Randall each scored nine points to lead the Lady Cats’ second balanced offensive night of the season as Mount Vernon pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 50-44 victory. That win followed a 54-30 rout of visiting Central in Thursday’s season opener.

Jacey Ritzert poured in 15 points against the Lady Bears in the opener, but on Saturday night, the committee took over, as three Lady Cats scored nine points, Amy Seifert put in seven and two other Mount Vernon players (Jade Dixon and Lauren Stemple) each dropped six on Bosse.

And the game was closer than the sixpoint margin of victory indicated.

“It was a hard-fought game the whole way,” coach Steve Mitchell said. “They stayed in it with I think they hit five threes and we didn’t hit any and that’s how they stayed in the ballgame. I think if we’d shot a little better, the game could have been different, but some of the girls are just coming out of volleyball and their legs aren’t under them, plus Bosse gives you good pressure.”

The Lady Bulldogs’ aggressiveness and pressure gave Mount Vernon trouble, as did some of the confusion they spread defensively, Mitchell added. The unconventional nature of Bosse’s zone defense made it tough to contend with them.

Bosse’s Janisha Lindsay dropped a gamehigh 19 points on the Lady Wildcats, while Jasmine Washington put in 11 and Montera Copeland added 10, but Mount Vernon came back at the Lady Bulldogs from all directions, and they had to.

Consecutive three-pointers enabled the Lady Bulldogs to open an 8-4 first quarter lead enroute to a 14-8 advantage at the break, but Mount Vernon went on a 10-0 run to open the second chapter, as Foster downed a pair of free throws to put the Lady Cats in the

driver’s seat.

Bosse was able to get back to within two points, but Mount Vernon stretched things out some more and that six-point first quarter gap turned into a 25-20 halftime lead.

Randall opened the third quarter with a bucket to give Mount Vernon a 27-20 advantage, but once again, Bosse refused to go away, answering Randall with a 13-5 spurt which resulted in a 33-32 Lady Bulldog lead heading into the final eight minutes.

The two teams traded one-point leads until Foster converted a three-point play with about three minutes to go in the game which put Mount Vernon up 42-39. The Lady Cats tacked on another five to open a 47-39 lead before Lindsay scored 1:56 to go.

Mitchell was pleased with the balance, but he did want to see a little more in one area.

“I like to see the balanced scoring because that makes you harder to defend,” the coach said. “But I would like to see a few girls get a few more shots because you do need a goto person, you need someone to go to when the game’s on the line. I like the balanced scoring, but I’d like to see someone become a little more selfish because they passed up some shots.”

But Mitchell will take the win, adding that his team hustled and got some shots in the fourth quarter, which enabled them to go to the four corners down the stretch.

Rachel Cash and Charlotte Roberts each put in two points for Mount Vernon.

The Lady Wildcat reserves posted their first win of the season in the preliminary, controlling Bosse 26-10.

Abby Randall matched big sister Megan’s output with a team-high nine points for the reserves, while Kellin Ray added six points, Erin Wolf four and Cheynne Strobel three. Shelby Ritzert and Stefanie Bulla each chipped in two points.

The Lady Cats opened the season a night early—and completely dominated the visiting Central Lady Bears.

Lady Wildcats honor soccer team, individuals in banquet

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ soccer team reviewed its season with a banquet and awards ceremony last week at the Mount Vernon United Methodist Church’s Wesley Hall.

“We were really pleased with our season,” coach Liz Castle said. “We ended up 8-8, which puts us at .500. We were pleased that we didn’t go into negative territory, that we had an equal amount of wins as we did losses. We still have a number of things that we need to work on and there were a few games, like the Boonville game, which went into double overtime the last two years, that we could have won.”

The Lady Cats will need to learn how to identify and contain the other team’s top offensive threats, while scoring early and not letting down after they’re scored on, Castle said.

Castle and assistant Jamey Thomas presented awards and discussed the season, which got off a solid 5-0 start and then stalled against tougher competition. Other than the Boonville game, Mount Vernon either won by a large margin or lost by a similar gap.

Varsity letters went to Zoe Brown, Lizzy Watzlavik, Jenna Reidford, Haley Thorne, Kinsey Johnson, Sam Alsop, Charity Konrath, Abby Randall, Stefanie Bulla, Cheyenne Schumuck, Erin Wolf, Kate Cox, Kellen Ray, Megan Randall, Hollie Robinson, Cassie Jones, Cassie Keitel, Lexi Wallis, Ally Kershaw, Allyson Blunt and December Davis.

Davis, Jones, Robinson, Ray, Wolf, Schmuck, Bulla, Brown and Abby Randall each received freshman numerals.

Alsop, Reidford and Megan Randall were the three senior Lady Wildcats on this season’s roster.

“They (the seniors) leave three very big spots to fill,” Castle said “They are very hard workers, they’re dedicated to this team and they have been leaders both on an off the field.”

The underclassmen contributed to the effort as well, especially one junior forward.

Kate Cox earned the team’s most available player award the best offensive player. She also earned Golden Boot Award after scoring 24 goals and helping out with 11 assists this season. She was also named to the All-Big Eight Conference team along with Jenna Reidford and earned a spot on the All-District Six team.

Alsop received the best defensive player and top team player awards, while other awards went to Watzlavik (Pride of the Wildcats) and Schmuck (most improved). Blunt, Reidford and Megan Randall each earned academic all-conference recognition.

Castle is hoping that the team will step up and that with a large freshman class out this year, along with an equally siz-

This group of seniors started out with a 6-9-2 record and finished with a 34-33-2 mark over the course of their careers at Mount Vernon. The team seems to have regressed a bit since winning 11 games in 2009 and Castle is hopeful that trend can be reversed.

“I just want to thank everyone who supported us both on and off the field this season,” Castle said. “We also thank them for their help in the breast cancer game and the float at River Days. This is a great community in Mount Vernon and we appreciate the support that we get.”

The Lady Cats raised $314 for the Susan G. Komen foun-

Mount Vernon honors football team with annual banquet

By Steve Joos As far as wins and losses are concerned, the Mount Vernon football team didn’t have a good year in 2011, going 3-7, with a 2-4 Big Eight Conference record.

But it was an opportunity to learn, according to coach Paul Maier.

“Very much I think it was kind of a learning process for our guys,” Maier said after the team was honored at the annual POPS hog roast and awards ceremony Sunday at the Mount Vernon United Methodist Church’s Wesley Hall. “We played a lot of younger players at key positions and they improved during the course of the year. I was happy with the effort we got and wish the seniors the best.”

Maier spoke briefly about the team’s season and presented varsity letters and awards, while his assistants talked about each of the team’s seniors.

Senior lettermen were Tyler Osborne, John Guggenheim, Calvin King, Nick Theodosis, Tyler Ritzert, Jon Hoehn, Steve Blanford, Brandon Lauderdale, Jared Simpkins, Kurt Bilskie, Aaron Roberts, Kyle Smith and Drew Tolbert.

“I wish the seniors well,” Maier said. “It don’t matter what kind of a year you’ve had, you’re always going to miss the seniors. You’re going to miss their experi-

ence, you’re always going to miss their leadership. They know what to do, they know what to expect and their leadership is key to their success.”

Underclass lettermen were River VanZant, Craig Isaac, Ethan VanZant, Will Russell, Brian Koch, J.T. Silvers, Austin Guthrie, Chris McKinney, Craig Dick, Michael Rynkiewich, Aric White, Hank Dausman, Clay Ford, Dakota Knowles, Alex Pepper, Luke Ripple, Hunter Brooks, Austin Sitzman and manager Robert RaineyCombs.

First-time lettermen were Guthrie, McKinney, White, Ford, Knowles, Ripple, Brooks, Sitzman and Rainey-Combs.

Ripple and Brooks also received freshman numerals.

“We’re very excited about the underclassmen and the potential they have,” Maier said. “The big thing that our underclassmen have to understand is that they have to be leaders, they have to work at it, and they have to be unselfish. If they can do that, they will be successful.”

Reserve certificates went to Charlie Schneider, Wyatt Dixon, Cory Word, Sam Carroll, Caleb Stewart, Kendric Givens, Cleo Rainey, Tyler Hurley, Dalton Schafer, Josh Norrington, Justin Trevino, Zach Allyn, Hunter Reese, Jaycob Stewart, Aus-

Perfect blend of academics, athletics draws Wildcat’s Mary Klueh to IUPUI

By Steve Joos Get a Klueh.

The Indiana-Purdue University women’s swim team had to go to Mount Vernon in order to get one.

Mary Klueh, that is.

One of a group of five seniors the Lady Wet Wildcats are counting on this season, Klueh signed a national letter of intent last week to attend IUPUI and swim for the Lady Jaguars.

“I chose my top four schools on the basis of academics and narrowed it down to the schools I felt the closest to,” Klueh said. “I wound up choosing IUPUI in the end on the basis of the closeness of the team and they have some opportunities in the medical area (she hopes to get into a pre-med curriculum).”

The Lady Jags are looking at Klueh in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke, as well as the sprint freestyle relay and the breaststroke leg of the medley relay.

The move to the next level shows just how far Klueh has come in her four years with the Mount Vernon swim team.

“It changed completely once I came here,” she said “Larry (Lady Wet Cats’ coach Larry Zoller) has helped me a lot, he’s helped me improve my stroke, improve my work ethic, he’s really taught me a lot. That’s going to really take me far.”

How far?

She’s shooting for the top eight in the state in the 100-breaststroke, the top 16 in the individual medley and the Lady Wet Cats are aiming for the top five as a team.

“Mary has come a long way in the last two years since she’s been here,” Zoller said.

“She has gone from being a better than average swimmer to a D-I (Division I) swimmer, which is quite an improvement. She has just had a phenomenal season last year, where she dropped from 1:13 in the 100-breastroke,

which is a good Sectional time, to a time that puts her among the best in the state.”

That time is faster than her school record time. Zoller also praised Klueh’s versatility, which he said would be helpful when she goes to Indianapolis.

“She also gets to swim in a fantastic pool (the IUPUI Natatorium) and she has some great academic opportunities too,” Zoller added.

Klueh chose IUPUI over Evansville, Southern Illinois Carbondale and St. Louis University. She is excited about moving on and is looking forward to swimming at the IUPUI Natatorium, which is where she swam age group meets while growing up and where the Lady Wet Wildcats have swum in a Christmas break major meet, as well as the state finals. She also swam at the Grand Prix meet, a national-level age-group meet, at the Natatorium.

Familiarity with the Natatorium will help, Zoller said, but the Lady Jaguars have a new coach this season in Matt Bos. “I think Mary will have a great opportunity to swim well,” Zoller said. “I’m happy to see Mary’s career go in this direction, based on the hard work that she’s put in over the last couple of years.”

The Lady Jaguars will go into the 2012-13 swim season with a number of things and the team will definitely have a Klueh, courtesy of Mount Vernon.

The youngest of three children, Klueh watched her brother Michael and sister, Elizabeth Frietag, swim at the Natatorium as well. They went on to swim at Texas and Butler, respectively.

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Klueh of Mount Vernon, Mary plans to major in pre-med at IUPUI and also hopes to get a degree in biology.

Congratulations to the undefeated 8- and 9-year-old St Wendel Fall Ball Team.

USI thumps ODU in season opener

University of Southern Indiana senior guard Brandon Hogg (Edwardsville, Illinois) posted a career-high 30 points to lead the 12th-ranked Screaming Eagles to a 7148 victory over Ohio Dominican University Sunday afternoon at the Physical Activities Center.

USI records a season-opening win for the 25th straight year, while ODU falls to 1-1 on the young season. Hogg was red hot from the field in both halves to record his 30 points.

The senior guard dropped in 7-of-12 from the field in the first half, including three threepoint field goals, for 17 points, while hitting 4-of-7 in the second half with two longrange buckets and three free throws for 13 points. For the contest, Hogg was 11-of-19 from the field, including five three-pointers, and three-of-four from the line. He also had six rebounds, five on the defensive end, and three assists.

The Eagles methodically built a first half advantage and used a 14-2 run to build a 15-point lead, 33-18, and take command. The Panthers would fight back into the contest and cut the Eagles’ lead to 10 points, 37-27, by the intermission.

USI bounced out of the locker room in the second half and extended the lead to 19 points, 47-28, with 13:43 left. The Eagles’ lead expanded to as many as 23 points by end of the contest and was the final score of 7148.

Following Hogg in the scoring column were sophomore forward Taylor Wischmeier (Brownstown, Indiana) and junior guard Melvyn Little (Cincinnati, Ohio). Wischmeier dropped in a career-high 12 points and Three members of the North Posey Junior High eighth grade team are around the grabbed a career-best eight rebounds in the ball during the team’s season-opening win over the Pike Central Chargers.

Aces christen new Ford Center with dramatic overtime win over Bulldogs

Five Aces finished in double figures as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team officially opened up the Ford Center and the 2011-12 season with a wild 80-77 overtime win against Butler on Saturday afternoon.

“Overall, you saw a bunch of guys competing very hard against each other. It was one of those games where you hate to see anybody lose, everyone played so hard,” head coach Marty Simmons said. “We’re thrilled to death to come out on top.”

Colt Ryan led all players with 23 points while Jordan Jahr and Denver Holmes tallied 15. Lewis Jones finished with 12 points while Kenneth Harris had 10.

A defensive battle ensued early in the first half as the teams combined to miss their first six shots before Khyle Marshall hit a layup to give Butler (0-1) a 6-4 lead with 15:41 left in the first half. Jahr responded with a bucket of his own as UE (1-0) would tie the game on four occasions leading to a 22-22 score with 5:55 left in the period.

The Bulldogs were able to gain control at that point, finish the half on a 15-6 run to take a 37-28 lead at the break. Andrew Smith, who notched ten points in the half, knocked down a trey with six seconds remaining to cement the BU lead.

Butler continued to add to its advantage over the first five minutes of the second half, going up 52-39. With the Bulldogs up 54-43, Evansville made its run, scoring 11-straight over a span of four minutes to tie the game up at 54-54 with 8:24 left in the game. Butler was 0-4 from the floor over that span while turning the ball over three times. Jones recorded a pair of field goals in the run.

Ronald Nored scored to give the lead back to BU before a Harris three-pointer gave the Aces their first lead since early in the first half. Nored drained a three on the ensuing trip down the floor and with 6:46 remaining, a pair of free throws put Butler up 61-57.

Buckets by Holmes and Jahr helped Evansville tie the game back up, but a pair of Chrishawn Hopkins threes in a span of 30 seconds turned a 2-point Aces lead into a 4-point deficit.

The Aces did not relent as Holmes struck again, hitting a layup and a free throw to cut the deficit to a point, 67-66. A free throw by Nored put Butler up 69-66 with just over a minute remaining and that is where the fun began. Colt Ryan connected on a shot with 44 seconds left to cut the BU lead to one.

Following a Bulldog turnover, the Aces had the ball down one with a chance at the final shot. Ned Cox attempted a jumper with seven second left with Ryan grabbing the miss. He was fouled by Jackson Aldridge and went to the line with under a second remaining. After missing the first, he would make the second to tie the game at 69.

Overtime seemed to be the likely destination, but Butler had other ideas. The Bulldogs heaved the ball the full length of the floor to Andrew Smith, who was fouled on an attempt as time was running out. Smith went to the line needing just one free throw to seal the win, but missed both to send the game to the extra period.

After a pair of ties, a pair of Ryan free throws with two minutes remaining gave Evansville the lead for good. He recorded the final six UE points as the Aces would hang on for the 80-77 victory.

Aside from his team high of 23 points, Ryan led UE with seven boards. He was 14-of-18 from the free throw line while dishing out three assists and stealing the ball five times.

Jahr was an efficient 5-7 from the floor, including 3-for-5 from long range.

Chrishawn Hopkins led the Bulldogs with 22 points on 8-19 shooting. Andrew Smith was close behind with 21.

The Aces will look to make it 2-0 on the season as they host Indiana at 7 p.m. Wednesday evening at the Ford Center.

Lady Wildcats, from Page B1

due to Central’s participation in the Class 3A football Regional.

“Anytime you can start with a win and beat an Evansville team, that’s a good way to start the season,” Mitchell said. “We work real hard on our defense, we work on our ball pressure and we try to make it hard of the other team to run their offense, shut down the passing lanes and get some steals. We also give our gjrls the opportunity to trap somebody in the corner.

We do a lot of those things, we don’t do anything special, just try to play good, hardnosed defense.”

That hard-nosed defense was on full display from the start, as Mount Vernon scored the first eight points of the game and held central to one bucket in the third quarter.

Megan Randall dropped in shot to get the Lady Wildcats off and running in the first quarter. Foster downed a A representative from the United States Marine Corps came to North Posey High School recently to award Nick free throw, Ritzert connected Neidig with a trophy for Player of the Game from the Heritage Hills game. The trophy reads “US Marine Corps/ from three-point range and Channel 7 Player of the Game”. Pictured are Coach Carl “Joe” Gengelbach, Jenifer Neidig, Nick Neidig, and Ser- then Foster put down another to make the score 8-0 before geant Jones, representing the Marines.

Jenny Reiter finally put Central on the scoreboard with 1:44 left in the opening chapter.

Seifert answered for the Lady Cats and Mount Vernon scored the last six points of the period to go up 14-2 at the break. Another six unanswered points to open the second quarter put Mount Vernon up 20-2 before Central scored again. The Lady Bears managed an 8-4 run later in the period, but once again the Lady Cats closed things out, scoring the last four points before halftime to go up 30-11 at the intermission.

Central only needed two minutes to get on the scoreboard in the second half, as Reiter drained a trey with 6:05 to go, but the Lady Wildcats had stretched the lead to 26-14 by then and those were

the Lady Bears’ only points in the period as Mount Vernon took a 38-14 bulge into the final eight minutes.

Ritzert got by with lots of help from her friends, as Dixon and Foster each pumped in seven points, while Randall and Seifert each chipped in six.

“That’s what it’s going to take,” Mitchell said. “We have to have a balanced effort, because if you have one scorer, the other teams try to take that away, but you’re pretty hard to defend if you’ve got three, our or five kids who can put it in the basket.”

Ritzert, Dixon, Foster, Randall and Seifert. That’s five players who put it in the basket for Mount Vernon.

Mitchell wanted the team to slow down a bit offensively, but he was also pleased with the way the used its quickness to push the ball up the floor and added that both the varsity and reserve squads did a good job on the boards.

The varsity Lady Cats had 18 offensive rebounds, with Seifert grabbing six caroms to pace the team.

That will also be important as the Lady Cats prepare for the rest of the season.

Strobel added five points for Mount Vernon, while Stemple, Roberts, Cash and Bailey Schelhorn each put in two.

Ciara Cissen led Central with nine points on the strength of three three-point baskets. The Lady Bears drained six from long range.

The news wasn’t as good from the preliminary as the Central reserves rallied from a halftime deficit to post a 2623 victory.

Shelby Ritzert scored nine points to lead the Reserve Lady Cats, while Ray, Bulla and Strobel each chipped in three. Kaysie Collins and Abby Randall each scored two points, while Wolf added one.
