and the school board understand the existing options. Amick has experience as a teacher, principal and superintendent and has worked as a consultant to schools for the last seven years. “My role at New Harmony is to make sure that I research the options available to the board and to provide some understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each option,” Amick explained during the meeting. She outlined three major issues facing the school district. The first is the state of the economy in general. During the current economic slump, state funding has decreased and the method of determining funding has changed, negatively affecting the cash flow for the local

New Harmony School, community face tough choices By Rhys Mathew “A Great Place to Learn.” This statement graces the crest of New Harmony School. However, the future of the school is in a grave position and the things learned in New Harmony this week were not to the desire of most of the town’s residents or the school’s graduates. A town hall-style meeting was held on Oct. 27 at Murphy Auditorium to inform the community about the possible future of New Harmony School and to allow the community to ask questions and provide input. The New Harmony School Board hired Dr. Phyllis Amick about six weeks ago to gather and analyze technical and financial information to help the community

Positive use of idle time is goal of jail library
Legion Old Unifrom night set
By Dave Pearce An escape plan is being instigated at the Posey County Jail. However, unlike other escape plans, this one is legal and is being supervised by and has the blessing of Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth. Gail Lee, a seven-year former employee of the Alexandrian Public Library (she left in 2009) and a recent masters degree graduate of Indiana University, has recently began providing a library for inmates in the Posey County Jail. Lee participated in a fellowship program. The fellowship was called “Librarians Leading in Diversity.” “I actually was taking a class at IU and a staff member from the Monroe County Jail came to speak to the class about their jail library program,” Lee explained. “From then on, I was hooked and I did an internship at the Monroe County Public Library in the outreach department and part of my job was working at the jail.” Lee said she returned to Indiana University to earn her master’s degree to be able to get the most out of her education. But Lee’s interest took her further into the subject of how to study how to best provide library service to inmates of the Vanderburgh County Jail. “I surveyed the inmates. I passed out a questionnaire and of the 460 that went out, 244 came back,” Lee explained. “I had all these people and I asked them why they wanted to read. Did it help relieve stress or was it simply boredom. Then I actually asked what types of books they would like to read.” Lee said that one of the surprising parts of the survey was that even those the questions were “closed-end” questions, inmates were responding with comments on what kinds of books they would like to read and how it might help them. “So I thought that rather than doing it just on paper, I should begin to do it in real life,” Lee explained. “So I held book drives and I had a really good turnout. The Junior League of Evansville donated a lot of

school. “The impact of the economy on the national level has filtered down to the states,” Amick explained. Increased mandates in regards to personnel benefits, specifically insurance, are costing the schools more, and the number of families requiring assistance has increased. Amick has also completed research on the cause of declining enrollment in New Harmony and found that a change in state policy was a major cause of the decline. “Students are now able to attend practically any school with minimal tuition cost and vouchers are available for students this year,” she stated, explaining why enroll-

By Valerie Werkmeister Republican candidate Nancy Grimes hopes to reconnect with the Poseyville community if elected as Town Clerk-Treasurer on November 8. The 16-year Poseyville resident is currently working in the accounting and auditing department at the University of Evansville (UE). When you work outside of town for eight hours a day, it’s hard to keep up with everyone. I really want to work in Poseyville,” Grimes said. Grimes is not a newcomer to the position. She held the same office from 2000-2004 before being defeated by Chris Lupfer. Lupfer held the position until December 2010 when she resigned. She was later arrested and charged with eight felonies for stealing town funds. She stated her daily respon-
sibilities at UE include working with budgets, taking part in the audit process and working with cash flow analysis, similar things a clerk-treasurer would do. She has worked at UE since 2004 and has earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies during this time. Grimes will also draw upon her experience in the banking industry during her four years of employment at Fifth Third Bank in Poseyville before being elected in 2000. She feels she will be a good clerk-treasurer because she is familiar with the job. “It is an important responsibility to be accountable for the town’s funds,” she said. Grimes’ family includes husband, Chris, and sons Charlie, 23, and Fred, 20. Her extended family lives in Bedford, IN however she stated she has lived in Poseyville

Grimes Shell longer than anyplace else. She considers this home and in that regard wants to serve her community well. “I like taking care of the town and just feel this is the right thing to do,” Grimes said. Charlie is currently attending Ivy Tech and is the seventh grade basketball coach and the high school boys’ tennis coach at North Posey. Fred was sent to Afghanistan in April, where he serves in the infantry as a sawgunner. He received a Purple Heart after he was wounded when his camp was bombed. Bits of bomb shrapnel were lodged inside him, but did not seriously would him. “I’ll believe Fred’s home when I see him walk in the back door,” Grimes said. Until then, she is focusing on winning the election and hopes that people will take the time to come out and vote. Poseyville newcomer, Jennifer Shell is the Democratic opponent of Grimes in the upcoming Poseyville Town Clerk-Treasurer race. Shell has lived in Poseyville for two-and-one-half years and has a desire to show Poseyville citizens that trust can be placed in the clerk-treasurer’s office again. She vowed transparency while stating, “I can perform the job the way it should be done.” Shell’s experience speaks for itself. Like Grimes, she also has been in office before. She served as Clerk-Treasurer for the City of Gaston, Ind., for six years. Currently, she is the Deputy Clerk-
Treasurer in Princeton. Her credentials include being an Indiana Accredited Municipal Clerk, Certified Municipal Clerk through the Indiana Association for Municipal Clerks, a Certified Elected Official through the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns and is working toward her certification as a Certified Public Financial Administrator through the Treasurers of Canada. She is also nearly complete with certification that will qualify her as a Master Municipal Clerk through the International Institute of Municipal Clerks. Her position as Deputy Clerk in Princeton affords her the ability to continue with state mandated training that will benefit her if elected as the next clerk-treasurer. She is learning how to use the software that will be required to submit budgets in the following year. Aside from the technical aspect of the job, Shell stated she likes the social side as well. “I like to be around people and I want to serve the citizens. I like helping in the budget process. I guess I like the challenge of the job. I will do my best to ensure good audits that will later aid the town in qualifying for grants,” Shell said. Shell and her husband, Tony, have been married 12 years and together they have two children. Haleigh, 11, is in sixth grade and 10-year-old Andrew is in fifth grade at North Elementary. Most of her spare time is spent cheering her children on during their various sporting events. Shell hopes to see a good turnout at the polls on November 8. She plans to spend the day at the Poseyville Community Center with family and friends as she awaits the final vote tally in the evening.

These are human beings and they care. They just don’t know what direction to take and I am hoping that these books can take their mind off their situation for a little while. But hopefully they are able to find resources in there to draw from down the road.” Lee said she is preparing to go to Minneapolis where they have an incredible jail library system. It includes programming and they help prepare the inmate for the time when he or she will reenter society. “They have resources such as computers in a library but they also have books on how to write a resume or how to answer questions during an interview,” Lee said. “You have to decide how much you want to divulge and how you want to do it. There are ways to do it that are smart. I’m not advocating anything dishonest but there are ways of presenting that information that are better than others.” Lee said the program has been so successful in Vanderburgh County, she wants to try and obtain a grant to enhance or even expand the program but she has to visit a prison, a juvenile detention center, and a county jail. “They all have a library service but they all do it differently,” Lee explained. “I want to take those ideas and take the best of each of them and combine them into a program that will work as well as possible.” For the time being, the program at the Posey County Jail will allow inmates to check out books once a week (on Thursdays) and Lee will take written requests from the inmates as to what books and what types of books they want to read. “I have a couple of volunteers through Willard Library,” Lee explained. “I have another person who helps me and her name is Debbie and she will come here once a week and pick up requests and fill them and

Jail library, from Page 1A good books and I now have between six and seven thousand books.” Such was the beginning of the program in the Vanderburgh County Jail. Lee goes every weekend but the program has been so successful, she thought perhaps she should branch out. “It was actually an inmate who told me ‘We could really use a book program at the Posey County Jail’,” Lee said. “So I thought about it and I have enough books so I thought, ‘why not,’ and here I am.” Lee said that much of the credit for the success of the program goes to God for putting her in the right places at the right times. “I wanted to go back and get my masters because you can’t really do much with a library science degree without a masters,” she said. “So I applied for a fellowship through the Indiana State Library Association and received 100 percent of her tuition paid as well as a small stipend for each month while she attended school.” While only in its initial stages in Posey County, Lee said requests for books have been overwhelming. “The people in here are just like you and me,” Lee said of the inmates. “They have just made some bad choices. A lot of these people are good people and we need to face the fact that 95 percent of the people in here are going to be coming out. So we should help them use this time wisely. A lot of them will check out books on parenting or on how to repair relationships.” But one of Lee’s favorite stories to tell was of an inmate who checked out a cookbook. She asked him if he was a chef or why he was checking out that particular book. “He said ‘I get out in a week and I want to plan my menu of what I can cook for my wife for dinner’,” Lee said. “These are the things that people don’t realize.

then we can actually drop them off.” Lee said that many of the inmates see her as much smarter than she actually is, modestly stating that much of her knowledge has come from the patrons she served while working at the Alexandrian Public Library. “I would hear people talking about different books and if someone asked about that particular book, I would recall what the patron had said about it,” Lee said. “They jump to the conclusion that I have actually read all those books. I probably don’t even read as much as I should but I do have a pretty good idea what a lot of books are about.” Lee said that personal contact is important in such a program and that reading gives the inmate a chance to “look at pictures in National Geographic and escape just for a few minutes.” The library offers the inmates an opportunity to make some choices of their own in an environment where they are often told when to eat and when to sleep. “It is amazing to me some of the books these inmates ask for,” Lee said. “They want mathematics, chemistry or algebra and some of them love the classics. And while some read at a higher level than others, once they get started in the program, it is hard to keep up with them. They have a lot of time to read and they catch up really quickly.”
And with the Posey County Jail operating over capacity, Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth said that anything the inmates can do to relieve stress or better prepare themselves for life after they serve their terms is welcomed. “I want to continue to branch out,” Lee said. “Eventually what I would like to do is get more volunteers and go into other surrounding counties.” Lee said that if an individual or a group in the community is interested in helping with the program, donations of any size or type are always appreciated. The library can always use clean (not old, dingy, or moldy) books, since the hardback covers must be removed before the book can be brought into the jail. The books are now being received at the Mount Vernon and New Harmony branches of the Posey County News. In Mount Vernon, the books may be dropped off at the News office inside Guilty Pleasures In New Harmony, the books may be dropped off at the News office at 641 Third Street inside the Jeff Koester Construction Building. In Poseyville, residents may call and leave book information at 812-459-4206. For more information as to how you may become involved or can help, please contact the Posey County Sheriff’s Department at 8383541. The Posey County Sheriff will pass the information along to Lee.

Winter tips for outdoor animals Colder weather is on the way. Are you outside pets ready? Now is the time of year to make sure that your animals are ready for the cold days ahead. Do they have a well constructed dog house that is sized for their body? An animal’s house should be large enough they can stand up and turn around comfortably, but not bigger then they need. Their house needs to be able to contain
their body heat and help to keep them warm. Too large, and they will not be able to keep warm. Too small, and they cannot fit in it comfortably. Be sure it is well sealed and there are no leaks in the roof or walls. Place it so the wind does not blow into the house. Be sure it does not sit in a low spot where it will be standing in water or water runs into the house. Houses should have straw or cedar

chips. Do not use blankets for bedding. Straw will allow air to circulate and be able to stay dry. Cloth bedding, once it gets wet, stays wet and freezes. When this happens, the bedding does nothing to help keep the animal warm or comfortable. Food and water are equally important. Be sure your animals have access to fresh water. Watch to make sure that the water does not freeze. With the colder weather, your animals will need to eat more to help maintain their body temperature. Be sure all food is fresh and in bowls. Do not pour food directly on the ground. Please check your pets regularly for any signs of injury or sores. As animals age, they do not heal as quickly and just like with humans, arthritis and stiff joints can be a problem. Whenever possible, keep animals indoors especially when the weather is extremely cold or wet. For more tips on animal care, contact your veterinarian or Posey Humane Society at 812-838-3211.

Another meth lab found in Mount Vernon By Dave Pearce Police in Posey County have destroyed yet another methamphetamine lab, this time on South Elm Street in Mount Vernon. According to Kenneth Rose, Supervisor of the Posey County Narcotics Unit, members of the Mount Vernon Police Department were dispatched to an area of South Elm Street where a tip had come in regarding a chemical odor.
Rose indicated that the odor was coming from a residence located at 246 South Elm Street in Mount Vernon. According to information given to officers, the property owner gave the police information that another person was living at the home. During the initial search, Mount Vernon Police officers located items related to the clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine. The officers then requested
personnel from the Posey County Narcotic Unit to respond to the scene for further investigation. Narcotics unit personnel used self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical suits along with other protective gear to process the scene. Units from the Mount Vernon Fire Department were also summoned to the scene for safety reasons and to render logistical support while on site.
A clandestine meth lab team from the Indiana State Police was also summoned to the residence to transport hazardous items for proper disposal. Rose indicated that samples from the residence were taken to the Indiana State Police crime lab to be analyzed. No one was in the home at the time of the investigation but a “person of interest” is being sought in the investigation as it continues.

STEW INGREDIENTS 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 4 cups onions, thinly sliced 1 Tbsp sugar 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 Tbsp caraway seeds, toasted and ground 1 1/2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika 1 teaspoon spicy Hungarian paprika 2 Tbsp minced fresh marjoram leaves 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves 1 bay leaf 3 Tbsp tomato paste 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 4 cups chicken stock 2 1/2 pounds chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes (remove excess fat) • 1 teaspoon kosher salt • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• • • • •
DUMPLING INGREDIENTS 2 cups cake flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup milk 2 Tbsp melted butter
DIRECTIONS 1. In a large covered sauté pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions and sugar until caramelized. Add the garlic and caraway seed. Cook another minute. 2. Add the sweet and spicy paprika, marjoram, thyme and bay leaf. Sauté another minute, until fragrant. 3. Add the tomato paste. Deglaze with the vinegar and the stock and add the pieces of beef, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cover and cook until very tender, about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. 4. To prepare the dumplings, sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Combine with the milk and melted butter, mixing lightly. After the stew has cooked until tender in step 3, drop the dumpling batter by (heaping) teaspoonfuls into the simmering stew. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Once you have covered the pan, do not uncover while the dumplings are cooking! In order for them to be light and fluffy, they must steam. If you uncover the pan, the steam will escape and the dumplings will boil instead. After 15 minutes, test the dumplings with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the dumplings are done. Yield: Serves 4 to 6.
By Rhys Mathew Many community members, New Harmony School alumni and parents worry about the future of the school as was seen at the town hall meeting held on Oct. 27 at Murphy Auditorium. To much of the community, New Harmony School is a valuable resource and an essential part of the community. Parent Angela Deckard said she has read all the information sent home by the school, but hoped to learn more at the meeting. Deckard has one child currently in first grade at New Harmony, two children in preschool and two younger children she hopes will be able to attend the school. “I love the small class size here and I’m afraid my kids would get lost in a large class if the schools were to consolidate,” Deckard said. Deckard, as well as other parents, hope that at the least the school is retained as an elementary school. Parent Tori Osban mentioned the uniqueness of the small classes, explaining that larger classes can often feel like an assembly line where children are pushed through a cookie-cutter curriculum. However, Dr. Phyllis Amick, a consultant hired by the New Harmony School Board, explained that the merging school district would have to agree to keep the building as an elementary, which isn’t likely. “All schools need all the students they can get right now, and keeping this building as an elementary would mean giving up students from one of their existing elementary schools,” Amick explained. As for the older students, some believe that the small school is not able to prepare students for the real world they will face after graduation. A New Harmony alumnus Lindsay (Creek) Wilhoyte says this scenario is not at all the case. Wilhoyte said, “No one can say that my education at New Harmony did not prepare me for college.” Wilhoyte was able to take both Advanced Placement and dual-credit classes that allowed her to earn college credits while still in high school. Wilhoyte also said that every student was encouraged to participate and the atmosphere of both the school and town has always been very friendly; these qualities made it easy for her to make friends and get involved once she reached college. Wilhoyte has earned a master’s degree and is now pursuing a teaching degree. She said, “I was greatly influenced by the teachers I had and the education I experienced at New Harmony.” One of Wilhoyte’s classmates works on Capitol Hill and another lives in Africa working as a nurse. New Harmony School offers a great atmosphere for many students and is a valuable resource. Wilhoyte explained, “I hope the school is able to remain in the community in some form, and that it will be able to retain its own identity.” Many community members are also worried about the impact that closing the school would have on the businesses and property values in the area. Dan Bussler, whose daughter graduated from New Harmony last year, said “We chose New Harmony out of the three area schools six years ago because of the fantastic educational experience and the attentive staff.” When Bussler questioned the impact that losing the school would have on the community, Amick stated that she had not looked at the impact on the community because there is no
reliable research on this topic. The board hopes to be able to make a decision on the future of the school sometime this December. There will be another town hall-style meeting on Nov. 3 at Murphy Auditorium at 7 p.m. Community members are encouraged to attend to ask questions and present concerns to the school board and Dr. Amick.

As a part of the recent Arbor Day celebrations, New Harmony School students drew pictures celebrating the importance of trees, and especially the Sweet Gum, which was the tree that was planted here in New Harmony.

If you haven’t had a chance to stop by and admire the students’ handiwork, please do so. These young folks are talented!

Philharmonic to perform concerts for students The Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra and Guild will present their fall Lollipop Concerts to over twelve hundred preschoolers and kindergarten students on November 2, 3, and 4, at the Victory Theatre in downtown Evansville. These funfilled performances will be presented twice daily beginning at 9 and 10 a.m. Admission to the concerts is $1 per child, and $1 per adult (payable at the door). Due to limited concert space, pre-registration is required. The Lollipop Concerts are a series of 45-minute “informances” presented by eleven of the principal musicians of the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Music Director, Alfred Savia. The goal of these concerts is to introduce children to the instruments of the orchestra and basic musical concepts, while providing personal contact with musicians and an opportunity for teachers to reinforce audience skills. In this year's Lollipop Concerts, the orchestra will take the children to far off kingdoms, and make the most beloved fairytales and fables come to life in a fun-filled presentation of Anthony Plog's Aesop's Fables and Maurice Ravel's Mother Goose Suite. Children will hear the stories of Sleeping Beauty,
Beauty and the Beast, The Tortoise and The Hare, The Mouse and The Lion, and others as never heard before - told by violins, flutes, horns and a small army of percussion instruments. These classics have been delighting children and adults of all ages with their whimsical plots and valuable morals for centuries. Add to the mix a narrator and dancers Caitlyn Prosser and Braje Goines, and children will experience these stories through a multi-sensory integration of music, word, dance, audience-participation, and imagination! The Lollipop Concerts are presented in partnership with the Evansville Philharmonic Guild and sponsored by Lewis Bakeries. For information or registration, please contact the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra Education Department, 812-4255050, ext. 316, or sbennett@evansvillephilharmonic.org. The Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra is the largest arts institution in the Tri-State area. Throughout its 77 year history, the Philharmonic has been committed to providing high-quality music education, outreach and entertainment programs for the entire Tri-State. It is dedicated to sharing the powerful experience of live symphonic music with everyone, from pre-schoolers to the elderly.

Seeds of the Sower

A skinny boy turned out for the first practice of a college football team.The coach handed him the ball and said, “Let’s see what you can do.” He tucked the ball under his arm and began to run down the field. A big fellow grabbed his left leg, and another his right leg, and said, “Make a wish.” That’s when he quit. There was a time when St. Paul felt he was about to be torn apart. But he didn’t quit. He said, “I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

God who takes away the sin of the world. God makes us holy by covering us with the righteousness that Jesus Christ earned for us with His suffering and death on the cross. That means that all who believe in Jesus Christ are saints of God. So today, on All Saints Day, we remember those believers, those saints who are now at rest with their savior. What is the God pleasing way to do that? The writer of Hebrews gives us an excellent example as he remembers the saints of the Old Testament in Hebrews chapter eleven: By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain; By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. Then as the writer realized that he was quickly running out of space, he continued: And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets…—This chapter in the Bible remembers past saints by remembering their con-

Sermon of the week Lots of people study genealogies as a hobby. It’s interesting to learn about the foibles of our ancestors. Maybe we’re related to some great historical character like the commander of the Alamo or a president or two. Maybe there’s a black sheep in our family tree - a skeleton in the closet. Maybe an ancestor fought in the Civil War or even the Revolutionary War. Maybe you have ancestors who came over on the Mayflower. My great grandfather Adam, for example, came to American in the 1850’s. Some are even able to trace their ancestors back to the old country and learn of their history over there. Genealogies can be very interesting. On this day of All Saints, we’re going take a moment to focus on a different kind of genealogy - a spiritual genealogy. Who are our ancestors in the faith? Who are the saints of God who have gone before us and confessed their faith back then so that we today can also be saints of God? Wait a minute—we’re saints? Yes, we are called saints of God because according to the Bible, saints are the people who have been made holy by the blood of the Lamb of
JUMC to sell ham loaves
By Sean Esterline fession of faith. That confession of faith is summarized perfectly in today's reading: See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. In this confession, we see that the genealogy of faith is very different from a biological genealogy. In a biological genealogy, there are fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, aunts and uncles, cousins, and so on. In the genealogy of faith, there is only one father, and there are no grandparents, aunts, uncles, and so forth—all the saints are brothers and sisters in Christ and children of God the Father. It wasn't always this way. There was a time that we were not saints - not children of God. We were once a part of the genealogy of unbelief - a family tree of unbelievers. When God created Adam and Eve, they were His children. He created them in His image. They, along with all of creation, were very good. God had arranged everything so that Adam and Eve were the beginning of what could have been one, great big, happy family one united family of God.
Then that ancient serpent, the devil, came along and convinced them that they would be better off without God as their father. He actually convinced them that they would be better off as orphans. As Adam and Eve rebelled against God, they planted the family tree of unbelief - a family tree populated by orphans. How the family tree of unbelievers is full of orphans? The problem is the law. God planted the law in the heart of man. It was a great blessing to Adam and Eve. Through the law, they had a strong, family relationship with God as their father. When Adam and Eve sinned, they broke that relationship. They rebelled against God as their Father and rejected Him. They became spiritual orphans - estranged from God their Father. When Adam and Eve had children, they did not come forth in the image of God. Instead, they came from the image of Adam. Like their father Adam, they wanted nothing to do with God the Father. Ever since sin came into the world, this is the natural state of all people. We all inherit the image of our biological parents and so reject God as our Father. We are
all born as spiritual orphans. There is one Son who did not break His relationship with God the Father. This Son came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary and was made man. When we see this Son, we see what kind of love the Father has given to us. As the Father's gift of love to us, Jesus lived in a perfect relationship with the Father. Even when the Father's will was for Jesus to suffer on the cross, Jesus held true to the relationship. He submitted to the will of the Father. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried. In this way [Romans 5:8] God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. So, while we were busy being born as orphans, God already had a plan in place to reconcile us with Him. He already had a plan to bring us back into the family - to once again become our Father. That plan reached its complete fulfillment when His only Begotten Son hung on a cross. In the shame of the cross, we see the glory of the Father's love. When we see the Father's only begotten Son on the cross,
we see what kind of love the Father has given to us. As the Son pours forth the love of the Father from the cross, He adopts us into the family tree of faith. We are no longer orphans. Instead we are saints and children of the heavenly Father. Today's reading tells us about the blessing we receive as Children of God. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. Because of His victory on the cross His victory over sin, death, and the power of the devil all Children of God do not remain in the grave after death. Instead, our bodies will rise to live in heaven forever. We will rise in our own bodies, but the sin and death will be gone. We will be sinless and immortal, living forever with God as His children. We shall be like [Jesus], because we shall see [our risen Lord] as He is—and we will fully realize then that thanks to Jesus Christ, all our sins have been forgiven, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

New Harmony School, from Page 1A ment seems to be declining. While 26 students have currently transferred out of New Harmony School district, 22 students have transferred into the district. “If you pull out the 2011-12 school year, there were ten transfers [out of the district] and there were three [students] who came in from outside of [the district],” Amick explained, stating that athletic and academic opportunities were the two most common reasons for transfers, both in and out of the district. The general population in Posey County has also declined in recent years, while the population of the State of Indiana is actually increasing only slightly. The greatest loss has been seen in children ages zero to four; this group is down 4.5 percent. These ages represent the students who would be coming into the schools. The loss of school age children in Harmony Township was very high at 105 students, approximately 33 percent. The classes with the lowest enrollment at New Harmony are preschool, with only two students, and third grade where only four students are enrolled. The state average class size is 22 students. The funding formula rules have changed radically in recent years, affecting schools with smaller enrollments. The state recently abolished the minimum guarantee that assured a school that it would receive no less in state funding than it had received the year before. Amick explained, “The state now bases a significant part of the funding formula on enrollment. If you don’t have the students, you won’t get the money.” The basic tuition support has also decreased each year. The
NOVEMBER 1, 2011 • PAGE A8
total projected loss of funding from declining enrollment, elimination of grants and basic tuition support for 2012 is $546,423; this amount represents 36 percent of New Harmony School’s total operating budget. Reducing staff and supplies, condensing of bus routes and a group purchasing effort with EVSC has allowed the district to save some money in recent years. Amick then presented the options she sees for the board. She first discussed continued existence through creative funding. “This means somehow, someway, someone would begin a campaign and raise enough money to keep the school open and operating,” Amick explained. “It’s more than just one year, because this is ongoing.” The primary disadvantages for this option are continued decreases in state funding, unpredictability in enrollment and the long-term stability in creative funding. This option would require continued financial support every year the school remains open. “Another option is consolidate but retain the school in the community,” she explained. A tax increase would come with this option, and there would be a loss of school corporation control. The operational cost of the facility would remain with fewer students, and there may not be a school district willing to consolidate under these conditions. Total consolidation would remove the school from the community completely. This option also represents a tax increase and a total loss of control. The consolidating school
district would take on responsibility for all of the assets and liabilities of New Harmony School. A general fund referendum is the most expensive option to the taxpayers of the community. The success of a referendum is unpredictable, and a levy can only exist for seven years. “[Restructuring the school corporation] was the most difficult to outline. You might do things so differently that it wouldn’t even look like itself anymore,” she explained. Amick mentioned possibilities such as online learning and transfer tuition under this course of action. Again, the decreasing budget would remain a factor in the school’s future. However, the hope is that this option would open up possibilities for improved enrollment, but some students may have to attend school elsewhere for certain opportunities. The possibility of a charter school has been discussed, but there are drawbacks with this option as well. “You cannot charter a school unless you are a failing school, and you still have to offer public school opportunities for students who don’t want to be part of the charter,” Amick explained. There is currently no four-year university able or willing to sponsor New Harmony School as a charter. Another town hall-style meeting with the school board and Amick will be held on Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. at Murphy Auditorium. A list of frequently asked questions can be found on the school’s website. Community members are encouraged to look at the website and to attend the next meeting.

On October 13, 2011 the new International Club at Mount Vernon Senior High School had their first official meeting. The International Club was created to promote Internationalism among students and to encourage students to learn about, accept, and even embrace other cultures. The students meet after school periodically to hear from guest speakers from other countries. The guest speakers share history, culture, and even food from their country. On October 13, 2011, the International Club Members had the pleasure of welcoming five guests from Saudi Arabia and one guest from Kuwait. The guests shared information about the history of Saudi Arabia, their economy, their culture, and their food. They even discussed the stereotypes that they deal with on a daily ba-
sis and shared some stereotypes of Americans. The students learned about general dress for both men and women, weddings, family practices and much more. Each student also received a card with his or her name written in Arabic. On the back of the card were pronunciation tables and short sayings in Arabic, such as “Hello, Thank you and You’re welcome”. The students had the opportunity to try three different Saudi Arabian dishes and a common hot tea. They were also given the chance to ask any questions that
they had about Saudi Arabia. When asked what he thought about Saudi Arabia night, student Brendon Schmitt commented “Well, I really like their “coffee” and they were all really nice people. I had a good time.” Lexi Willis said “I really enjoyed meeting the Saudi Arabians, they were very nice. The rice that they brought was delicious.” A great time was had by all, and the students had an amazing opportunity to learn about a new country. The next meeting will take place in November and will be about Ecuador.

OPINION
Change is perpetual, students urged to make the best of it All this talk of closing New Harmony School brings back a lot of memories. I grew up in a small town in southern Illinois and I can remember talk, nearly every year, TRUTH... centered around the fact that STRANGER we were never sure whether THAN there would be a school in FICTION BY DAVE Enfield the following year. Somehow, there was both PEARCE a grade school and high school in Enfield for at least a few more years even after I graduated. Every year, it would be rumored that our school was going to be closed and we would have to consolidate, probably with Carmi High School. During those days, Carmi High School was a large school. Somewhere between the size of North Posey High School and Mount Vernon High School. Now, even with students coming in from Crossville, Carmi-White County High School is not near as big as North Posey High School.
Guest Column:
Things change. When I look back and remember my early years in high school, I can remember how I thought I would move to another town or go and live with my sister in Indiana if the powers that be decided they were going to close Enfield High School down. I loved the smallness and intimacy of my small school. But in all reality, looking back about 35 years, I really didn’t know what was best for me. All I knew was that I wanted no part of this “change.” I can certainly understand how students in New Harmony feel. I can also look back and see now how alumni from Enfield High School must have felt about losing their “home.” Looking back, it probably would have been a good thing for me to go to a larger school (I’m not saying it would be best for

A place to call home Did you know that one out of every three homeless individuals is a veteran? To me, this is completely unacceptable and hopefully is to you too. Veterans have fought for the freedoms we enjoy and we must do more to support them. Everyone deserves a home to go to each night especially our U.S veterans. Help is on the way though for many homeless veterans and they will soon have a place to call home. In just two days, Lucas Place II is having their grand opening. Lucas Place II will be a place for our veteran heroes to live and to rebuild their lives. Here, veterans will live in one bedroom apartments
and be provided a menu of services tailored to their needs. There is a real need for veteran housing in our community and I am pleased and grateful that Echo Housing Corporation along with many other community partners is making this available to our veterans. Lucas Place II will also help meet the goals of Project Home, Evansville’s 10 year plan to end homelessness for good. As a community we must work together to eradicate homelessness. You can help support Lucas Place II and our veterans by participating in the Vets Day 5K Walk, Run, Roll on
November 13. This event is being put on by the Student Veteran’s Organization from the University of Evansville, University of Southern Indiana and Ivy Tech Community College. This will be the first annual run and it is my hope that this will become a tradition. If you can, sign up for this walk and support our veterans. Their service to us and to our country has been invaluable. All proceeds will go to Lucas Place II and you can register at: www.raceit.com/ register/?event=6327.
everyone). But for those who attend a small school, you have no idea how many new things and new people are out there in the big world for you to see and get to know. Even though I served as president of my senior class, I never considered myself part of the “clique.” After I graduated and went away to college, I finally realized that I was an individual just like everyone else and I had a right to choose my own friends. Coming from a small school, I was identified by the house where I grew up and the people I spent time with. I never had an opportunity to establish my own identity because it had already been established for me. I was one of the “Pearce” kids and we grew up on the poor side of town and even though I had the desire to better myself, I had to fight for everything I got. In some ways, that was a good thing. It prepared me for the many things that would come my way later in life. I learned young how to be a fighter. But it also had its drawbacks. My classmates, too, were identified by the family they were raised in and the home where they lived. In such a small school in such a small community, it seemed like everyone knew everything about you when in reality, they actually knew little about you. They identified you by the financial class of your family and by the brothers and sisters or parents who had gone before you through the school system. It was great for some people. They were able to establish friends and be popular because their family before them was popular and did well in school. When I was awarded good grades, I had to earn them. I guess the point I am attempting to make here is that while it appears New Harmony is probably headed for consolidation, take heart New Harmony School
students and residents. While it may seem like the end of the world now, you will soon realize that there are a lot more important things out there than where you attend school. There are friends to be made and relationships to establish and eventually, you are going to have to do it on your own. If New Harmony is indeed forced into consolidation, please look at it as an opportunity, not a detriment. This will be an opportunity to make more friends, (you’ll even realize there are other people out there who are much more like you than you ever dreamed). Use it as an opportunity to take advantage of the programs a larger school has to offer. The more money that comes into a particular school district, the more broad-based is the number of programs that can be offered. I know this is a very tough time for students, parents, and community leaders alike. But take heart in knowing that you can make the best of what appears to be a bad situation. And when you do, you will have learned one more of life’s lessons. Change is perpetual and the sooner you learn to adapt to it, the better off you will be. High school ends for all of us and the real world awaits. If things go as they appear to be headed, take advantage of the new wings you have been given and soar. They only thing stopping you is yourself.
Youth First urges campaign participation Starting today, Youth First’s Most of Us Campaign to prevent underage drinking is moving into the community to reach parents and other adults. During the first phase of the campaign, Most of Us messages were primarily directed at students and emphasized the good news that 7 out of 10 local teens never or rarely drink alcohol. Rarely is defined as two or fewer drinks in a year. Promoting positive social norms through Most of Us is one of the proven strategies to strengthen youth, families, and communities, but we cannot do it alone. Parents and other adults must also engage in the conversation and help kids make the safe
and healthy choice to steer clear of alcohol. Adults can help in the following ways: • Talk with children early and often about the dangers of alcohol and other drugs. • Set clear rules and follow through with consequences if rules are broken. • Be a positive role model, knowing that children pay attention to actions as well as words. • Enjoy friends and family time together without the presence of alcohol. • Discuss the results of the Most of Us survey and the messages, helping youth realize that the true norm in high school is not to drink.

“The Wild Horse of the Osage”
Should you have been locked in your basement with nothing to read but last week’s Gavel Gamut, you might know that the topic was a phantom football game from 1924. Therefore, you might be puzzled by the title of this week’s column which most sports observers apply to St. Louis Cardinals baseball player, Johnny Leonard Roosevelt Martin, who was better known as Pepper Martin and who was, also, a great football player. However, since I am writing this after watching the Cardinals stage two incredible comebacks to win game six of the 2011 World Series, Pepper Martin’s heroics in the 1931 World Series where the Cards beat the heavily favored Philadelphia Athletics trumped his football heroics in the clandestine football game seven years earlier. Of course, game seven of the 2011 Series will have been played by the time you read this and you can take me to task on my prediction: Cardinals 7, Rangers 4. But, first, let’s get back to the 1931 Series. Legendary Connie Mack was the Athletics’ manager and that
team included Lefty Grove, Mickey Cochrane and Jimmie Foxx among several other great players. Twenty seven year old

GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE Pepper Martin was a full blood Osage Indian from Oklahoma who slid head first as he stole five bases, got twelve hits and batted in five runs. He batted .500 for the series. I wish the Cardinals had him for tonight’s seventh game. Most people think Pepper Martin, a/k/a the Wild Horse of the Osage, got his nickname for his all out baseball play including his head first slides. However, the Osage tribe is more prone to believe he got it for his spectacular ability to run with a football. So here we are back to last week’s topic, whether tiny Haskell Indian Institute near Lawrence, Kansas could shake out enough Osage oil money to build a new stadium. You may re-
call Haskell’s coach, Frank W. McDonald, came up with the idea of playing on Indian pride and their lust for football to grease the contributions. He set up a “black ops” game and brought his All American, John Levi, to join Martin and other Indian greats. There were Osage, Arapaho, Sac and Fox, Cheyenne, Pawnee, Otoe, Creek, Seminole, Kiowa, Comanche and Cherokee Indian football players on the team from Hominy, Oklahoma, known as the Hominy Giants. Their opponents were made up of ringers from a professional football team from Kansas City named The Cowboys. The game and the identities of the players were kept secret from college administrators to protect the eligibility of the amateurs. Of course, this, also, helped mislead the many who wished to wager on the game. It is estimated that about $200,000.00 dollars changed hands. While the details have been blurred by history, it is clear that The Wild Horse of the Osage ran the football along with John Levi who WRITER / REPORTER RHYS MATHEW WRITER / REPORTER VALERIE WERKMEISTER STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERS THE DAVE & TERRI KOCH FAMILY
was called Big John and Skee. The Indians won on the final drive of the game and the wealthy Osages were so grateful they helped finance Haskell’s new stadium that opened two years later. It was one of the few stadiums in America with lights. The team at Haskell continued its winning ways for several more years hardly ever losing a home game. One reason for this was the opening ceremony where the National Anthem would be played then all the lights would be turned off. As the visiting team’s hair rose on the backs of their necks, the Haskell Indians would let forth chilling Indian war whoops. I took much of the material for this and last week’s columns from accounts in the Kansas City Star (1972), the Bartlesville, Oklahoma Examiner Enterprise (1998), the Hominy, Oklahoma Osage News, and a column by Arthur Shoemaker called “Coffin Corner”: Vol. 14, No. 5 (1992). I wish to, also, thank Barbara Pease of the Osage County Historical Museum for her help with this article. BOOKKEEPING CONNIE PEARCE Pocobooks@aol.com

Great Wildcat effort cannot overcome Jasper power
Mount Vernon Wildcats bow out in regional, finish with 27-7 record By Steve Joos Keeping the other team out of its offense has been a key to the Mount Vernon volleyball team’s success this season. It helped them win a Sectional title, but they couldn’t pull it off in Tuesday night’s Class 3A Regional match. Mount Vernon got behind early in three of the four sets and rally bids in two came up short as they fell in Regional action at Jasper 26-24, 18-25, 25-12, 25-18. “We were playing catch up the whole time,” coach Andi Allford said. “The second game was the only one that we really had control of. Other than that, it was they had control, we caught up, they had control, and we caught up. We were always playing catch up and it’s hard to win when you’re always trying to stay alive.” Getting momentum, especially when they had the ball, was a particular problem for Mount Vernon Tuesday night. In the first game, Mount Vernon had trouble keeping the ball for more than two points at a time. They held a 12-10 lead after Mea-
gan Montgomery served two points, but Jasper reeled off six straight tallies with Meagan Sternberg at the line and took a 16-13 lead. A cat-an-mouse game ensued, with Mount Vernon closing to within a point and then losing the ball. They were able to tie the match at 22-22 on a Jasper hitting error and forged a 24-24 game-point deadlock with Montgomery at the line, but a short return broke the senior middle hitter’s serve and a blocking error gave the game to Jasper. Mount Vernon came out excited and confident in the first game and played with confidence despite falling short at the end. Allford said that the team was more confident in the second set. “We didn’t question the ball,” she said. “We picked it up, if it was close, we took it, we were making smart decisions. All the way around they were playing smart.” But they also had to come from behind midway through the set. Four points with Livia Hopper serving turned that 9-7 deficit into an 11-10 advantage that Mount Vernon gradually built on over the rest of the game.
The Mount Vernon Boys Tennis team held their end-of-season banquet recently at the high school, celebrating a very successful season including a sectional championship. Major award winners are: Logan Brown, Reserve Award; Curt Crabtree, Most Improved and Honorable Mention Academic All-State; Layton Hopper, Coach’s Award and first team Academic All-State; Jevin Redman, Most Valuable Player, Big 8 All Conference, and All District 5; and Ross Canada, Big 8 All Conference.

Wildcats honored for success in tennis
Mount Vernon posts 16-5 record, wins sectional title By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ tennis team had a very good season in 2011. The Wildcats posted a 16-5 record, finished second in the Big Eight Conference and won the school’s first Sectional title in five years. Those accomplishments were reviewed and honored Tuesday night, at the team’s banquet and awards ceremony at the high school cafeteria. “It was a great season,” coach Vicki Oelmer said. “We fell short at Regionals, but we achieved everything we wanted to in the season. We lost a couple of matches that maybe we could have won, but our record was as good or better than what we’d hoped and we won Sectional, which was our main goal. We got back on track there (the Cats have won 12 Sectional titles over the past 20 years).” Oelmer and assistant Hunter Stevens presented varsity letters to Curt Crabtree, Layton Hopper, Ross Canada, Jevin Redman, Seth Reeves, Todd Sheffer and Hunter Wilson, who earned his first varsity letter and a freshman numeral. Crabtree and Hopper are both seniors. “They (Crabtree and Hopper) were great seniors who provided solid leadership both in the classroom and on the court,” the coach said. “You can’t ask for a better combination than smart athletes who are good leaders. I can’t say enough about them. They were two of my better leaders and they motivated the guys to have a winning team.” In addition to the Sectional, the Cats also won their invitational tournament, as well as
the Washington invite. Redman was named the team’s most valuable player, while Crabtree was the most improved and Hopper the earned the mental attitude award. Redman was named to the All-District Five and All-Big Eight Conference teams. Canada also earned all-conference honors, while Sheffer just win missed being the third All-Big Eight player on the team. They are among the five underclassmen on this year’s team, one which Oelmer said settled down as a lineup early and stayed in their positions. “Our singles players were all underclassmen and that means we’re going to come back with a solid base for next year,” Oelmer said “The singles players were the ones that came through for us all season and the other players, the younger players have a ton of skills for us and that’s what we’ll be looking at, who’s going to battle it out for the open spots.” That’s a good problem to have and something the Cats haven’t had for some time, the coach added. “We’re glad to have the tradition back and going again,” she said. “That’s’ something we haven’t had in a while.” The reserves may have a good chance to have that tradition continue, as they went 9-4 on the season. Reserve letters went to Jacob Rynkiewich, Michael Clark, Logan Brown, Austin Krizan, Garrett Kitterman and Brandon McCarty. Brown, Krizan, Kitterman and McCarty each received freshman numerals.
They went up by seven points at 23-16 when Lauren Stemple served a tally and moved Mount Vernon to game point, but they lost the ball out of bounds. Jasper’s Lynda Scherle served a point and cut the lead to six, but a four-hit call ended the game with Mount Vernon in front 25-18 and that squared the match at a game apiece. That would also be Mount Vernon’s last win of the season. They took an early 4-2 lead in the third set, but Jasper went on a seven-point run Rachel Bartley at the line and broke open what had been a close match. Mount Venon tried to stay within striking distance, but another long run all but finished things out as Jasper posted a 25-12 win. The fourth set got off to a start that was just as ominous for Mount Vernon, as Jasper went up 10-4, but Mount Vernon went on a four-point run with Brittany Wallis serving and tied the game at 13-13 before a dump kill gave the ball back to Jasper with the lead. Once again, Mount Vernon tried to hang around, but a four-pint Jasper run all but
ended the match and Mount Vernon’s season. “Jasper had a lot stronger attackers than we have played recently,” Allford said. “One of our strategies has been to be aggressive and take them out of their offense. It was hard to take them out of their offense. They presented a new game to us.” Despite the loss, Allford was not disappointed with her team, which closed out the season with a 27-7 record. “I’m proud,” she said. “They’ve accomplished amazing things this season. I’m very proud of my girls.” If only they could have gotten some momentum in Jasper, however. Jacey Ritzert had 17 kills for Mount Vernon, while she and Montgomery each registered two blocks. Meagan Martin did her thing with 40 assists, while Hopper had five aces and Stemple 27 digs. Sternberg led Jasper with 22 kills, while she and Bartley each had three aces. Jaclyn Schmitt had 30 digs and Shelby Merder four blocks.
By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon cross country teams were honored for their seasons with a banquet and awards ceremony last week at the high school cafeteria. Girls’ coach Jackie Maier reviewed her team’s season and presented awards to her team, which included a in freshman Toni Waddell. The Lady Cats were second in both the Big Eight Conference meet and the Princeton Invitational, while taking third in the Mater Dei Invite and fourth in the Boonville meet. “We had a fantastic group of girls,” Lady Cats’ coach Jackie Maier said. “They worked had and worked together.” The coach was disappointed that the girls’ team didn’t advance out of the Sectional, something she took the blame for. Despite a bad night which happened to be at the Sectional, the Lady Cats had a good season, Maier added. The Lady Cats were sixth in the Sectional, but Waddell moved on as an individual, finishing sixth at USI and 15th in the Pride’s Creek regional and qualifying for the Brown County Semistate. Varsity letters went to Waddell, Olivia Baldwin, Brianna Reis, Rachel Cash, Chelsea Bell, McKenzie McClarney, Ashton Fuelling and Tiffany Collins. Waddell earned her first letter and a freshman numeral. Reserve letters went to Lauren Grabert, Callie Schisler, Grace Baldwin, Heather Zwingleberg and manager Alex Zwingleberg.
Waddell earned the team’s most valuable award, while Baldwin received the senior award. The boys were second in the conference and seventh in the Sectional, while taking third among the 1A-2A-3A race at the Hopewell Gibson Southern Invitational. Coach Tim Searcy reviewed the season and presented awards to varsity lettermen Sean Ritzert, Ryan Dick, D.J. Dickens, Adam Hoehn, Collin Knight, Dane Wilson and Mitchell Jackson. With only two seniors on the roster, Searcy is optimistic about the team’s future. “The future is bright,” the coach said. “Even with us graduating two seniors who have been a big part of this team for the last four years. Sean and Ryan have been a big help to me throughout the season.” Ritzert was recovering from a track injury coming into the season and could have done even better if healthy, Searcy said, but the senior runner still had a great season and will graduate as a four-year letterwinner. Dick will graduate as a three-time letterman and showed great leadership to the younger runners, the coach added. Reserve certificates went to Andrew Stevens, Brandon Ray and Dillon Ray. Ray earned a freshman numeral, while Jackson earned a numeral in addition to his first varsity letter. Dickens also received his first varsity letter. Ritzert was the team’s most valuable runner, while Dick was the most improved.

LEGALS Not a licensed driver or driving while suspended you’re just a snapshot away from being stopped When you hear talk about hazardous driving conditions, most people think of poor weather driving conditions or road hazards. There are other circumstances that create hazardous driving conditions. They’re people that drive without ever having had a valid driver’s license or are such poor drivers they’ve had their license suspended or revoked. These people are driving all around us and they’re a hazard to every other driver on the road. And they aren’t discovered until they commit a traffic violation, or worse, they cause a crash resulting in injury or death. Of the more than 4 million licensed drivers in Indiana there are more than 222,000 suspended drivers and over 30,000 other drivers who have had their license to drive revoked for five to ten years or even for the rest of their life.
Now the Indiana State Police is using technology to find these unlicensed drivers before they crash into your family. The technology is a License Plate Reader (LPR) system mounted to the trunk deck of a state police cruiser. The use of LPR’s by the Indiana State Police is a pilot program that started in June of 2011. Over the last several months refinements were made to the LPR software to meet the needs of reading Indiana license plates and reduce the potential for false alerts. Presently there are four LPR equipped state police vehicles deployed across Indiana. These permanently equipped LPR cruisers are assigned to troopers at the Lowell, Bremen, Putnamville and Sellersburg state police posts. By the end of 2011 the LPR’s will be linked into the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicle (BMV)
Daviess County Chief Deputy indicted Friday afternoon, October 28, a grand jury indicted Daviess County Chief Deputy Ronald Morgan, 47, of Washington, on charges of Bribery and Assisting a criminal. Vanderburgh County Special Prosecutor Stan Levco presented the case to the grand jury. Morgan was arrested at approximately 4:30 p.m. after turning himself in at the Daviess County Jail. He was later released after posting a $750 bond. On September 13, Indiana State Police Detective Brad Chandler initiated a criminal investigation regarding
an allegation of official misconduct by Morgan. The allegation surfaced during an earlier drug investigation by Daviess County Sheriff’s Department. On September 6, Daviess County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a 29-year-old Washington woman for manufacturing methamphetamine. During the investigation deputies received information the female had been able to avoid arrest in the past because she had been receiving tips from Morgan. Morgan allegedly asked her to perform sexual favors with him and in return offered his ability to
protect her from arrest. Further investigation revealed Morgan allegedly shared privileged information to her on several occasions for sexual favors between August 2005 and July 2009. No further information will be released. ARRESTED AND CHARGES: Ronald W. Morgan, 47, Washington, Ind. 1. Bribery, Class C Felony 2.
