Future of New Harmony bridge causes troubled waters By Valerie Werkmeister A meeting about the fate of the Wabash River bridge in New Harmony may have left more questions than answers. While it’s clear the bridge is important, it’s not clear how to save the bridge. A public meeting was held last Thursday evening that brought a large gathering of people that included Posey County officials, State of Indiana officials and a few State of Illinois officials together with members of the White County Bridge Commission at the Rapp Granary in New Harmony. Posey County Commissioner Jim Alsop facilitated the meeting and explained the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the new option for the bridge. “We’ve been on this road for a number of years. We’ve been sitting in the middle for a number of years. Its time to move in one direction or the other. We don’t know what

that’s going to be yet, we have to sit down and decide what that is,” Alsop said. The Wabash Bridge was built in 192930 and is privately owned by the Wabash County Bridge Commission, a three-member panel appointed by Congress. Funding for the commission is limited and the bridge is in need of approximately $8 million to rehabilitate it. Since it is a privately owned entity, the commission is unable to seek out government assistance or grants. Thus, it would seem the only solution is to transfer the ownership of the bridge. Therein lies the problem. Neither Posey County, the State of Indiana or the State of Illinois officials are rushing to the front of the line to declare ownership. “The bridge is important to the community in New Harmony. The bridge is important to the businesses in New Harmony. The bridge is important to tourism. It’s also important to

the people in the State of Illinois. It’s important for medical services who cross the bridge to go to our hospitals. People of Illinois also cross the bridge to come to work. We have to take a look and see if we can find a viable option for the bridge,” Alsop said. Taking over the bridge comes with a hefty price tag, one that none of the entities are sure they can handle on their own. State or federally-funded grants often require matching funds in order to qualify. To help locate matching funds, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) drafted a proposal to the Posey County Commissioners. INDOT would transfer 35 miles of low-traffic highways to Posey County in exchange for $2.7 million. Alsop explained the proposal is not one the commissioners are ‘crazy about’. “The $2.7 million is a one time deal. Ten years from now, we still have to maintain

those roads, fill the potholes and mow the shoulders. It’s difficult for me to make that commitment for the 26,000 people in Posey County,” Alsop said. Alsop further added that the commissioners asked their highway superintendant, Steve Schenk, to put together estimated costs to the county if they did take over the roads. He estimated that it would cost the county $1 million in the first year. They would need to purchase new trucks with salt beds and salt spreaders. They would also need to hire additional employees and purchase new mowers. Posey County currently has 13 bridges that require care at a total estimated cost of $10 million. Alsop also explained that they would not be able to secure liability insurance on the bridge in its current condition. Members of the White County Bridge Commission

Ungethiems have a little added incentive this Thanksgiving By Dave Pearce There are certain words that we learn as young children that are inappropriate. When it comes to profanity, it is the “F” word. When it comes to racism, it is the “N” word. But when it comes to health issues, it is the “C” word. When the Rob Ungethiem family sits down for Thanksgiving dinner this year, there will be reasons to be thankful for all members of the family who sit around the table. Rob is a survivor now for three years of lung cancer. But while Ungethiem has undergone the pain and duress that go with the terrible disease, he knows that his families’ lives have all been changed since that day, back in 2009, when he visited an Evansville doctor for chronic shoulder pain. “My left shoulder started hurting really bad and I let it go for a long time,” Ungethiem said. “I thought I might have just thrown it out throwing a football or a baseball. My wife kept telling me to go to the doctor but I didn’t really even have a family physician.” The 45-year-old Ungethiem, with wife Julie (Andry) and children Cody, Rachel, and Logan seemingly was in the prime of his life and had everything going his way. He works at SABIC in Mount Vernon and Julie is a special education teacher’s assistant in Mount Vernon. They live in a beautiful home in a rural Posey County neighborhood and the children excel both academically and athletically. “Finally, she got me to go to the doctor and he did a chest xray and noticed all the fluid on my left lung,” Ungethiem said. “He said we needed to drain the fluid and as soon as he did that, I felt better instantly.” Ungethiem recalls sleeping in a chair to get relief from the nagging pain in his shoulder. He says he tried about everything but once at the doctor, he learned that the fluid was pushing on a nerve, causing all the pain and discomfort. “They tested the fluid and that’s when it came back positive for Adenocarcinoma,” wife Julie explained. “It is lung cancer in a non-smoker. And it’s not so uncommon anymore. It is the sixth most common cause of cancer death in the United States…non-smoker lung cancer.” Julie said the stigma attached with lung cancer has caused lung cancer research to lag far behind other cancers. She said that the public, in general, is reluctant to give to lung

Voting Districts in Marrs headed for change By Dave Pearce Posey County Commissioners are considering a couple of scenarios following the announcement at a recent commissioner’s meeting that a realignment of precincts to meet state voting statutes. The need for changes in the precincts have come about because Indiana law requires the Commissioners to establish precincts for voting purposes. This is required to be done the year after a census, and the critical piece to look at is the number of “active voters” in each precinct. Indiana law further limits the number of active voters in each precinct to 1,200. Because of the growth of Marrs Township, the number of active voters in Marrs Center has now reached 1,350. Thus, it became necessary for Marrs Center to be changed to reduce the number of active voters. Since the number of active voters in Marrs North is 1,090, nearing the 1,200 limit, an approach was taken to correct Marrs Center while also recognizing the potential for Marrs North to continue growing past the limit. The number of active voters in Marrs South is 806 so there is room for growth there. The Commissioners wanted to disrupt as few voters as possible so attention was paid to existing precinct lines. In the drawings, the dark highlighted lines are the current boundaries. Everything south of SR62 is Marrs South. Middle Mount Vernon Road, Ford Road and Barter Road provided the boundaries for Marrs Center and North. Commissioners are considering the following two scenarios. Scenario One used Ford Road as a boundary to create a new precinct. Middle Mount Vernon Road then became the boundary for

Marrs Center and Marrs North. The problem with Scenario One is that while it did reduce the number of active voters in Marrs Center it did not reduce it enough. Marrs Center has a high density of population in the eastern part of the precinct. Since Scenario One does not solve the main problem of reducing the number of active voters, the boundary had to be moved east into the precinct to capture some of the population, which in turn means active voters. Scenario Two creates a new precinct by coming down Ford Road from to Middle Mount Vernon, then east on Middle Mount Vernon to Hartman Road, then south on Hartman Road to Wolfinger Road, east on Wolfinger to Overpass Road, south on Overpass to SR 62, then west on SR 62 to Gun Club Road. Scenario Two solves the active voter issue in Marrs Center, and at the same time brings the precincts more in line from a population standpoint. An important item taken into account by the Commissioners is the fact a voting precinct does not have to be located in the precinct. As voting centers become used more often, it will be possible for the Commissioners to centralize voting locations in Marrs, as well as other places throughout the county. The numbers on the drawings are the population of each precinct. Population plays a role in establishing county council districts. Indiana law requires the four districts to be as equal in population as possible and contiguous. In determining the population you look for what the average district would be, which in the county’s case would be 6,477 (Total 2010 county population of 25,910 divided by 4 = 6,477). You then look at the population of each district to see how much it “deviates”

from the average district. Past court cases have said you should try to get the deviation at or below 10 percent. With the current set up of the council, District 3 (Don Mattingly) has a 19 percent deviation. District 1 (Tom Schneider) is at 4 percent, District 2 (Alan Blackburn) is at 8 percent and District 4 (Tracy Ripple) is at 6percent. As you can see, District 3 needs to be adjusted. This district includes all of Marrs Center and Marrs North. This comes as no surprise considering recent population growth. The need to reduce the number of active voters for precinct purposes also helps alleviate the population requirements of the council districts. By creating a new precinct in Marrs, the County will be able to move some of the population out of District 3 and into District 2. This will also cause some of District 2 to be moved into District 1. If the precinct changes are made, then the Commissioners are considering the following changes to the council districts: Lynn Township and Black 2 would be moved from District 2 to District 1. Black 8 would be moved from District 1 to District 2, and the new Marrs precinct would be added to District 2. District 3 would then consist of Robinson Township and the newly configured precincts of Marrs Center and Marrs North. District 4 would not be changed. If these changes are adopted the deviations for each district would be: District 1 = 3 percent; District 2 = 7 percent; District 3 = 3 percent; and District 4 = 6 percent, all well within state guidelines. Commissioners will discuss the changes at their next meeting.

Here are some tips on how you can enjoy the season without inducing an overspending hangover in January. Make a list of everyone on your gift list. Try to limit it to close family and friends, and set a maximum amount to spend for each recipient. Calculate this total; if too high, revise the individual limits to keep the total reasonable. If you have overspent already, review the list to see where you may be able to give meaningful gifts without spending.

Parmesan Chicken

• • • • • • • • • •

INGREDIENTS 1 clove garlic, minced 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup or 1/4 pound), melted 1 cup dried bread crumbs 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or 2/3 cup if you are using a Microplane zester) 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt A large pinch of Italian seasoning (herb mix) 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 lbs of skinless, boneless, chicken meat, cut into pieces no larger than 2x2 inches

DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. 2. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic with the melted butter. In another bowl mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Dip chicken pieces into garlic butter, then into crumb mixture to coat. 3. Place coated chicken pieces on to a 9x13 baking dish. Try to leave a little room between each piece. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter and bake uncovered 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Note that the chicken will get much more browned on the bottom side than on the top. Yield: Serves 4-6.

and place the cash in envelopes with each person’s name and amount on the envelope. Take these envelopes with you on your shopping excursion. Stick with your list, and when the cash is gone, it’s gone. With social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook, you also may be able to find additional money-saving coupons and discounts. If you have adequate storage space, one of the best times to do your Christmas shopping is in January, when retailers are clearing out their merchandise from the holidays. Along this line, think of shopping for stocking stuffers during the year, as these trinkets can become costly if bought during the holiday rush. To make the most of your holiday season, sit back and take a moment to enjoy the meaning of the season and the opportunity to gather with family and friends and all those you hold dear. Then take a deep breath, and shop wisely.

and bustle of shopping malls, you may prefer to stay home and shop online, which saves on travel expense. To maximize the value of virtual shopping, look for free-shipping promotions. Another option is to check with nearby retailers to see if they can save you on shipping costs if your item is shipped to the store, instead of to your home address. Many people use credit cards for their holiday shopping in order to increase frequent flier miles and other rewards offered by their credit card company. There are benefits to this strategy, but keep in mind that will need to budget for the charges arriving in January; they will need to be paid off to avoid incurring large credit card interest. You might opt to use cash for Christmas shopping. Decide on an amount for each person, total the amounts, and take cash from your checking account. Divide the cash into your predetermined amounts for each person,

But there are a variety of safe travel options for people of all ages. The real need is a broader awareness of the solutions, rather than a narrow focus on the problem. AOTA’s Older Driver Safety Awareness Week (December 5–9, 2011) aims

to promote understanding of the importance of mobility and transportation to ensuring older adults remain active in the community—shopping, working or volunteering—with the confidence that transportation will not be the barrier to strand them at home.

BBBS of Posey County receives grant from Women’s Fund Big Brothers Big Sisters of Posey County received a grant from the Posey County Community Foundation Women’s Fund in October. The mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters is to help children reach their potential

through professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that have a measurable impact on youth. The grant of $1450 will fund matches of children with adult volunteer mentors. Specifically, the funds

will be used to recruit children and volunteer mentors; to conduct extensive background checks; to interview children, parents, and mentors; to make the matches; to train mentors; and to provide professional match su-

pervision. Big Brothers Big Sisters is the oldest, largest, and most successful mentoring organization in the United States and has been serving the Tri-State area for over 50 years. The organization in Posey County has a school-based mentoring program at North Posey Junior and Senior High Schools.

Bridge, from Page 1A mission explained the bridge is safe and they do currently have liability insurance. Members of the bridge commission are hopeful that a bi-state entity can be formed. Alsop encouraged a meeting between White County government officials or other State of Illinois officials to sit down with the commissioners to discuss a possible solution. Indiana State Representative Wendy McNamara and Indiana State Senator Jim Tomes attended the meeting and offered unpopular information to the crowd. McNamara stated that she sits on the roads and transportation committee and they are looking at the state’s priority projects. She said it would be difficult for the state to consider the Wabash Bridge in New Harmony a priority since the bridge in Mount Vernon is

functioning. Members of the audience challenged Tomes and McNamara to do more for their community. Tomes and McNamara both claimed that were working hard for the town of New Harmony stating they have a lot of other serious matters including the school and and the problems with the erosion along the river. “We have been doing our best to put a face on the New Harmony in Indianapolis,” said McNamara. The worst case scenario for the bridge would be if no entity is able to take it over, it will fall into disrepair. Permanent barriers will be placed on either side to stop traffic Friends of Dr. Kyle and Sherry Rapp planned a surpiorse birthday party for Dr. on the bridge. Alsop stated they hope to make a decision before the end of the year. Rapp over the weekend. Photo submitted

Ungethiems, from Page 1A in his mind that he was going to fight the disease with all he had. Ungethiem began eight months of chemo in Evansville and he was beginning to feel better. At that point, the oncologist put him on a “maintenance” schedule that lasted six to eight months. But the maintenance ended and the cancer began to grow back. Doctors then told him he had about three months. That’s when Julie went into action. “I started doing research on my own, talking to people online and seeking advice from oncologists at University hospitals,” Julie explained. “I kept coming across something called ALK mutation. This was something that had been discovered by Japanese experimentalists in 2007. At the time, there was an experimental drug called Crizotinib that shuts off the mutation which drives the cancer to produce. The only problem was, only three percent of the population has this mutation.” Julie felt that doctors had given up but she would not give up. She checked with the local oncologist who told her he had never heard of the drug. The doctor also insisted that Ungethiem would be negative of the mutation, since 97 percent of the population is negative. “I looked up all the information on the drug and I faxed it to him. I insisted that they test him anyhow,” Julie said. “The

results came back positive for the ALK mutation. He was accepted at Vanderbilt University in a clinical trial for the new drug. He has had excellent results with the drug, which is now FDA approved.” But nothing came easy. The first sample was mixed up with another patient’s sample. The second time, there was not enough taken to properly do the sample. But the third time was a charm. Ungethiem credits his wife’s persistence, Vanderbilt doctors, and his own outlook as reasons why he is feeling fine again and the cancer has stopped growing. “Only God knows when it is our time and I did some bargaining with him,” Ungethiem said with a smile. “I told him that when it was time for me to go up there, I would help him up there but for now, I really wanted to stay down here.” Ungethiem still travels to Vanderbilt every three weeks for testing and prescriptions but it has been three years since the original diagnosis and his hair has grown back and he enjoys doing all the things he did before the diagnosis. “You have to keep a positive attitude and stay busy,” Ungethiem said. “Even on those days when I had chemo, I would come home and just wash my truck or do something outside.” Julie said doctor’s told him that he had hit the “Lottery for

Cancer” with the positive test for the mutation. He is one of only four people ever at Vanderbilt and one of only about 500 world-wide. This particular cancer has hit four middle-aged men all from this part of the country. “We were blessed to get a caring, intelligent, and wonderful oncologist at Vanderbilt in Dr. Horn,” Julie said with a smile. Although the couple realizes this is not a cure, however, it is a breakthrough for non-smokers with non-small cell lung cancer. Doctors have told Ungethiem that he will have to take six pills a day for the remainder of his life. When the current treatment is no longer effective, a follow-up treatment drug has already been made to again battle the cancer. But Ungethiem has already beaten the odds once and he believes he can do it again. “I really don’t think I will have to take the medicine for the rest of my life,” Ungethiem said with a determined stare. “Only the man upstairs knows when it will be my turn to go. Sometimes I start to get a little down and I just look at one of my children. Then I know that I want to be here to watch my grandchildren grow up.” With the odds he has already beaten, smart money probably wouldn’t bet against him.

SWCD wins district showcase award When the Posey, Gibson, Vanderburgh and Warrick County SWCDs banded together last fall to introduce a multi-county cover crop initiative, the last thing anyone thought was that their joint conservation project would be one of four recognized in the State by the Indiana Conservation Partnership (ICP) consisting of the Indiana Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts (IASWCD), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA), Purdue Extension and the Indiana Farm Bureau. When the notification came, staffs of these Districts hustled to get a program ready for an official visit by the ICP. On November 3, nearly 40

people, mostly representatives of the ICP, paid a visit to the Ziliak Farm near Haubstadt in SW Indiana to view the project and talk to District representatives about this and future projects aimed at reducing nutrient and pesticide runoff to improve water quality. Cost-share funds from a Clean Water Indiana grant matched with the Districts’ own budgets were offered to encourage producers to have their highly erodible fields seeded from the air into standing crops to prevent erosion over the winter months. Producers in all four Districts took advantage of the program and had over 3,100 acres of cover crops seeded by plane, preventing about 15,000 tons of topsoil from leaving their fields after harvest. The SWCDs’ staffs would like express their sincere thanks to the ICP and to all

who helped to make their visit a pleasurable one (in spite of the day-long rain!). Special thanks to the Ziliak family for the use of their farm shop and the work setting up for the event, to the Princeton media (newspaper and radio), NRCS and ISDA staff , Mr. Larry Ordner (representing Sen. Lugar’s office), Warrick County Commissioner and farmer Tim Mosbey, District Supervisors from Posey, Gibson and Vanderburgh SWCDs and to retired NRCS district conservationist Darrell Rice. Representatives of these four SWCDs will be presented with a beautiful plaque at the IASWCD’s Annual Conference in January. This is the second time this award has been received by this team of SWCDs since the District Showcase Award’s inception in 2008. We’re looking forward to our next multi-county project.

On November 10 the North Posey FFA Chapter held its annual Hog Roast. The Hog Roast is an opportunity for the chapter to thank the individuals and businesses who donated their time, equipment, seed, and fertilizer for the success of the test plot. This year’s attendance was over 180 people, which is larger than past year’s. A special thank you goes out to Nancy Dougan for donating her time and some of the meal expenses. The Chapter would like to thank Jerry Nottingham for cooking the meat, and all the parents who brought side dishes and desserts.

Donna Creek Keeth Belt conducted a game related to “Pumpkin Pie” and gave homemade mini loaves of bread to the winners. Christina Seifert donated fall holiday items to the door prizes and luretta Bambei, Sally Huck, Darrell Creek and Myles Belt were the lucky winners. Everett Hein gave a humorous reading “House Keeper” before adjorment. The December 13 Christmas party will be held at the Don and Linda home at 6 p.m. Members brought canned goods to the Thanksgiving meeting and are urged to bring again to the Christmas Party.

Due to heavy rains, the 2011 plot had to be replanted in June. Therefore, the chapter could not provide any useful data to area seed dealers. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The junior FFA members will sponsor a Round up Ready Corn test plot for the 2012 years. One variety will be accepted from each company. Please call the agriculture department at 673-4299 to reserve a spot in the plot. On Wednesday, November 16 several members of the chapter traveled to Vanderburgh County Fairgrounds to compete in the Area 3 Forest-

ry, Crops, and Entomology Contest. Competing for the chapter in Entomology Judging were Jordan Lyke and Dakota Hurt. In the Forestry competition, the team Daniel Motz, Kayla Hoenert, Anna Will, and Olivia Goebel place sixth and qualified for State completion. Olivia was the high scorer for the chapter and was the 11th overall individual. Also competing for the chapter were Brooke Sturgell, Kari Hoenert, Kylen Lohman, Dale Bender, Hunter Clifford, and Parker Sturgell. The chapter would like to thank Bernie Goebel for helping transport the members home from the contest.

United Way involves Posey County people Keith Spurgeon, chairman of the 2011 United Way of Posey County campaign announced today that the campaign drive has reached 80% of its goal of $640,000. He urged everyone to make a contribution to the Posey County campaign. “Your contributions stay here to provide services to the people of Posey County. The United Way of Posey County campaign is about local people helping local people and we need everyone’s help to have a successful campaign.” Spurgeon noted that November 15 was National Philanthropy Day. He said “This is a time to recognize the people and organizations that give so much to our community and work to improve the quality of life for all our people. Thank you to those

who contribute their talents and funds to help make a difference.” Spurgeon announced that special events to support the United Way campaign in Posey County continue through the generosity of local businesses. On November 30, Pizza Hut in Mount Vernon will donate 20% of sales for that day if a customer provides a coupon, a copy of an ad or newspaper article, voucher or flyer about United Way, or mentions United Way. Also, the Posey Grill in Mount Vernon will donate 10% of sales on December 2 and December 9 and be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both these days and Fridays from now on. Also, Santa is coming to the Posey Grill on Saturday, December 10, from 7 to 11 a.m. There will be free pictures with Santa and Santa pancakes for only $1 during Santa’s visit and United Way donations will be accepted.

USI Trustees approve summer session cost reduction In a special meeting on November 18, the University of Southern Indiana Board of Trustees reduced the price per credit hour of summer session courses for in-state undergraduate students by approximately 20 percent, beginning in summer 2012. The move reduces the current $193.07 per credit hour for Indiana undergraduates to $154.50 per credit hour in summer 2012 and $162.30 per credit hour in summer 2013. For an undergraduate taking a full-time summer load of 12 credit hours, this new program will cut costs by $463 in summer 2012 and $510 in summer 2013. "The University of Southern Indiana Board of Trustees takes very seriously the issue of affordability and access," Board Chair Ted C. Ziemer

Jr. said. "This program for summer sessions will help reduce the cost of excellent higher education for Hoosiers and is in line with USI's history of affordability. By offering classes in the summer at a lower price, the University will make it more attractive for students to speed up their achievement of a college degree and, by increasing the number of students it serves in the summer, make better use of our resources." President Linda L. M. Bennett said, "The reduction of summer session costs will encourage our students to take advantage of earning credits in the summer and will help with timely degree completion, a priority for the state and for the University." "For students from Evansville and the southwest Indi-

ana region home for the summer from other colleges and universities, this price reduction also will be a benefit," Bennett added. "They can earn credits at USI that apply toward their degree completion, most likely at a much lower cost." USI's 2012 summer sessions begin May 9 and June 18, with more than 560 courses scheduled. Last summer, 4,455 students were enrolled in summer courses, an increase of over nine percent or 400 students over the last five years. The University anticipates increased enrollment in summer sessions and more efficient use of statefunded facilities. For more about summer sessions at USI, see www. usi.edu/summer.

Local students to perform in UE Opera Production Local students at the University of Evansville will perform this weekend in Die Fiedermaus, a UE Schmidt Opera Series production. Jaclyn Hostettler of Wadesville, majoring in Music Performance, will play the role of Prince Orlofsky. Sara Buente of Evansville, majoring in Spanish, will play the role of Chorus. Mistaken identity, love, betrayal, social climbing, and practical jokes are just a few of the elements that create Johann Strauss’ beloved operatic comedy Die Fledermaus, running November 1819 in UE’s Wheeler Concert Hall. Sung in English with occasional German (translated for the audience above the stage), Die Fledermaus includes spoken dialogue like a musical and - like all UE Schmidt Opera Series pro-

ductions - features full costumes, sets, and lighting. The lighthearted operetta follows Gabriel von Eisenstein, a wealthy gentleman who must serve an eight-day jail term after committing a petty crime. He tells his wife, Rosalinde, he is going to jail, but instead decides to postpone his surrender one day in order to attend a formal ball. With her husband out of the house, Rosalinde is visited by her former lover, Alfredo. Madcap chaos ensues when the prison warden arrives, mistakes Alfredo for the master of the house, and takes him to jail. Later, at the ball, Eisenstein falls for the guest of honor - his own wife disguised as a Hungarian countess. Finally, all comes to a happy end when the intrigues are revealed at the prison later that evening. The 37-member cast of

Die Fledermaus will perform under the direction of Jon Truitt, associate professor in UE’s Department of Music, who serves as head of the voice area and director of opera. “What audiences will love about this piece is its infectious fun. You can’t help but laugh at the situations and get caught up in the beautiful music,” Truitt said. “The students have really put a lot of time and effort into both singing and acting these difficult roles. This is particularly remarkable when you consider that the majority of the cast is sophomore age and younger.” The UE Schmidt Opera Series is supported by a generous grant from the William E. Schmidt Foundation, which encourages and nurtures the pursuits of young people in the arts.

OPINION

From the looks of things, private schools play some mean football I enjoy all facets of my job at the newspaper. I enjoy meeting people and I enjoy hearing their stories. I enjoy helping people tell their stoTRUTH... ries through me. And, I enjoy TRANGER S bringing news stories, many T HAN about Posey people that you F ICTION would never hear anywhere else. But I also enjoy sports. BY DAVE I began my career as a sports- PEARCE writer many years ago and I still enjoy just about every level of athletics, whether it be at the pee-wee level or at the college level. But this week I have a burr in my saddle. I know I am going to step on some toes. Frankly, I don’t care. It is my job as a journalist and watchdog to question things that seem to be out of sorts. My question is this. What do the 25 parochial schools located in Indiana have that the 500-plus public Indiana high schools do not have? For starters, they have seven of the final 10 schools remaining in the state’s football tournament. Ironic, don’t you think? Doesn’t anyone besides me find it somewhat ironic that of the 10 schools who will be playing football at Lucas Oil Stadium this weekend, only three of them are public schools? Yes, that staggering statistic means that seven (count them…SEVEN) of the 25

parochial high schools in Indiana are still alive in the IHSAA play-offs compared to three of literally hundreds of Indiana’s public high schools. As a matter of fact, if you start with Class a, you have to get all the way up to one half of the Indiana Class 4A bracket before you can even find a public school. Ironically, while the private schools have found a way to dominate all the lower classes, they still have not yet found a way to overtake the huge Class 5A public schools of Penn and Carmel. That would take some doing because if you stick strictly to enrollment figures, as the IHSAA does, as there are no parochial schools who participate at the Class 5A level. I find it quite ironic that in Class 1A, neither of the parochial schools gave up a single point to their public school counterparts in the semi-state championships as Lafayette Central Catholic shut out Sheridan and Indianapolis Scecina pitched a shut-out against Linton-Stockton. In Class 2A, three of the final four teams were parochial schools as Mater Dei had to come from behind to defeat Geurin Catholic to earn a trip to the Stadium while Ft.

Wayne Bishop Luers scored a 35-21 decision over previously undefeated 13-0 Bremen in that semi-state. In Class 3A, South Bend St. Joseph had a little tussle with public school West Lafayette before winning 21-13 and on the other side of the 3A semi-state, Indianapolis Bishop Chatard eased over Corydon Central by a 38-6 count. In Class 4A, South Bend Washington was the first public school to make it to the football finals with a 13-3 win over Leo where they, too, will face a parochial opponent as Indianapolis Cathedral scored a 62-7 win over 12-1 Columbus East. By the way, Columbus East is the team that shut out sectional title-holder Evansville Central 49-0 just the week before in the regional. Finally, in Class 5A, you will see two public schools fight it out for a state title primarily because no parochial schools are in that class. I don’t want to jump to conclusions but to me it appears that something has become dramatically imbalanced. I would like someone to explain to me how this has happened. I’m not trying to wage a war against anyone, I simply would like to know how, with all things supposedly even, do seven of 25 private parochial schools make it to the

state finals while only three public schools will be there. Are the coaches at the parochial schools that much better? According to statistics, at least on paper, coaches in parochial schools are paid less than those of their public school counterparts. Are the best athletes just choosing to better their educational opportunities by attending private parochial schools? Are parents paying to get better private instruction in their child’s sport of choice? Is instruction at the lower level schools that much better in the parochial school system? Statistics show, however, that less than half of parochial high school students attended a parochial or private elementary school. I refuse to point fingers at anyone or anything other than the facts that have been presented. I’m sure there are two sides to every story. I would welcome response to the question I have posed. I honestly don’t have a dog in this fight since my son is far removed from high school. But if I am missing something, would someone please point it out to me. If I am not, I guess the man upstairs just favors the parochial schools. And I don’t want to argue with him.

Letters to the Editor Please consider the United Way I am writing to encourage everyone to consider giving to the United Way of Posey County. Right now they are in the middle of their annual fundraising campaign. I should probably state up front that I am a bit biased. I have been a United Way volunteer for over 15 years and for much of that time I have served on the board of the local United Way. This year I am the local campaign chair. In my capacity as a board member and educator I have seen the positive impact that United Way agencies have had on families and individuals in Posey County. Twenty different agencies receive funding from United Way of Posey County. pIt is your "one stop" source for charitable giving. Last year alone over 17,000 individuals in Posey County were served by a United Way agency. That means that you or probably someone you know, family member, neighbor, or co-worker, were helped by a United Way agency. As I said, the United Way of Posey County is in the middle of their annual fundraising campaign. The goal this year is $640,000. That is an increase of a little more than one percent over what was collected last year. Yet, requests from agencies are up over 13 percent. Yes, United Way needs everyone's help. This year there is a special reason to give to the United Way of Posey County. The local United Way received a matching grant. New money raised can be matched up to about $65,000. The matching grant will go to help establish a Big Brother/Big Sister program in Posey County, as well as help provide more health services through Echo Community

Guest Column: Wendy McNamara Getting “Organized” for session Today is a very important day at the Indiana Statehouse, in fact today, Organization Day, is technically a session day, even though session doesn’t start until January 4. This is a day, as its name states, where we get organized and ready to conduct official legislative business for the people of Indiana. We will all convene at the Statehouse with session beginning at 1p.m. Organization Day mainly serves a ceremonial purpose. As it did last year when all of the representatives were sworn into office. Organization Day is also considered the Speaker’s day, since he gives a speech which sets the tone for session. After organization Day a window of about six weeks opens where legislators are allowed to file bills they wish to present during session. Since this year is a

‘short’ session, each legislator is limited to filing five bills. The deadline for this year’s ‘short’ session is March 14. Short sessions were created in 1972, to handle emergency issues. Since that time their use has changed slightly and we now attempt to get just as much done as we do in a long session. The Speaker of the House has already informed us that most Fridays, usually reserved for us to return to our districts, will be used for session days in an effort to allow for all of our work to be completed and to work around the Super Bowl schedule. To say the least, they next few weeks will be quite busy at the Indiana Statehouse as ideas begin to form into workable pieces of legislation and as we prepare for session. I am once again

Health and more assistance to those who struggle with making ends meet by providing more training in home management and budgeting. Every dollar counts. I hope that your readers will consider giving to the United Way of Posey County. When you give to United Way your are helping your community, your friends, your family, and perhaps even yourself. It is one way that all of us can help make Posey County a better place to live. Keith Spurgeon

Thanks for the help I need to express my gratitude to the people who helped with the Vendor Fair that benefitted the Pate Family. This event took place on Saturday, November 12 at Trinity UCC in Mount Vernon. A Big Thank You goes out to all the businesses who donated items for the auction. The money raised will help the Pate Family in a big-financial way.

Thank you for the “customers” who came and shopped, Dana will be blessed with many new items from each Vendor. Much is needed to be said to the town of Mount Vernon and Posey County for opening their hearts and helping a family in need of a home. God Bless you all. Joanna Dickhaut

If only every day were Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is much more than a big meal with family and friends. It's a time to reflect on, and be thankful for, all of the good things you have. Even with all of the uncertainty and turmoil in the world, you have so much to be thankful for. It's important to be grateful, not just on Thanksgiving, but each and every day. Rather than lamenting what you feel is lacking in your life, begin each new day by developing an attitude of gratitude. Take inventory of your blessings and you will be surprised at just how much you have to be thankful for. If you have enough to eat, a place to live, a way to get around, people who care about you, or people you care about, then you are wealthy. If you lack any of these elements, you must still be grateful for what you do have, while striving to obtain whatever is absent. Focus on all positive aspects of your life. Take nothing for granted. Every morning, recharge your appreciation. Be happy for everything there is, not upset over what you feel is missing. Dreams of the future shouldn’t diminish appreciation for the present. If all you do is concentrate on what you want, you won't enjoy today. Don't be jealous of others; what they do or have has no bearing on you. You can feel bitter or resentful for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you feel something is missing from your life, things aren't going your way, or you have been treated unfairly. You may wonder, "why do these things always happen to me?" Life's problems tend to dominate your thoughts, turning your focus to what you feel is wrong. You may start to resent those who appear to be better off. You’re apt to dwell on things you think would make your life better if you had them. If only you had more money, more time, a bigger house, a different car,

a different job, a different boss, had picked a different career, etc. Once your attitude becomes one of deficiency instead of abundance and appreciation, you can become overwhelmed by feelings of frustration and feel like a victim. As this happens, a consuming vicious cycle starts. Being bitter or resentful blows situations out of proportion. People who are bitter frequently find that their situations deteriorate and their mental and physical health decays. It’s difficult, if not impossible, to achieve your goals while you are bitter or resentful. Regardless of what challenges might befall you, bitterness makes finding solutions much more elusive. There is no point to feeling bitter since it accomplishes nothing, harms you and makes things worse. Filling yourself with gratitude on a daily basis makes you feel good, while driving out negative feelings. Begin your practice of gratitude each morning as soon as you wake. Every day is a great day. If you have any doubts, try missing one. Take inventory of everything, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, that is good in your life. If it helps, make a written list of all things you are grateful for. Read your list every day. As you do this, you will build and reinforce your attitude of gratitude. Don't waste any time with what you feel you don't have. Keep things in perspective. Consider all the people who have overcome difficulties far worse than yours. Don't be consumed by your problems, there is always a solution. Maintaining an attitude of gratitude allows your mind to devise a resolution for your circumstances. Make everyday a day of Thanksgiving and you will be amazed how much better your life will become.

“The Road Less Taken”

In his poem, The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost (1874-1963 gave us a metaphor of decision making with concomitant results and consequences. It is a short poem from a man whose work has a recurring theme of what makes human existence special. Frost calls for us to acknowledge the reality of life while we give our individual lives meaning by refusing to give up in the face of that reality. In other words, we humans make life special and worthwhile by our struggles not by achieving any ultimate victory. And major factors in our struggles are choices we make, such as the choice to try a new direction: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” Or we might take the view

of a philosopher born on The Hill in St. Louis on May 12, 1925. As Yogi Berra advised:

GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE “If you come to a fork in the road, take it.” Our contemporary society is at one of those decision points in the way we address our criminal justice system. It is not that this is a new dilemma, virtually every culture has had to deal with those who cannot or will not conform their behavior to that culture’s norms. Let’s take the nomadic Hebrews of the Old Testament. Their approach was: “Thine eye shall not pity.

It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.” Deuteronomy 19:21 And death by stoning was a woman’s legal punishment for adultery. However, that long haired revolutionary gave light toward a different approach: “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” Matthew 20:18 and 19; John 8:3-11 But his truly revolutionary approach to how we can best deal with behavior we find either illegal or offensive is found in Luke 6:30: “And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.” In Posey County for several years now, we have been developing a less traveled approach to protecting society and modifying criminal behavior. This not so new, but certainly differWRITER / REPORTER RHYS MATHEW WRITER / REPORTER VALERIE WERKMEISTER STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERS THE DAVE & TERRI KOCH FAMILY

ent path initially came under consideration in 2007 by a combination of our agencies that deal directly with these issues. The Prosecutor’s Office, law enforcement, and Posey County’s two courts agreed to seek input from the community and funding from the State of Indiana for a Community Corrections program. Not surprisingly in our close knit county, many people volunteered their time and talent in this effort to better protect society while saving taxpayer monies. The permanent positive modification of illegal behavior was and is the over-arching mission. We have made excellent progress since 2007, and exciting and beneficial new paths lie before all of us who live in this fair county. If you have the time, we can explore these expanding horizons next week. BOOKKEEPING CONNIE PEARCE Pocobooks@aol.com

‘The Golden Rose,’ success story in New Harmony to celebrate fifth anniversary on Saturday, Nov. 26 By Rhys Mathew The Golden Rose florist and gift shop, located on South Main Street in New Harmony, Ind., will celebrate its fifth anniversary with an open house and special offers on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011. Tamara and Danny Creek took over the Golden Rose on Nov. 1, 2006. Five years have gone by quickly but represent a dream come true for Tamara Creek. “I always enjoyed doing this kind of work for my own home, family and friends, but the first time the store was for sale I wasn’t at a point in my life where I could make that kind of commitment. My two children were still at home and I didn’t feel that I could devote enough time to my family and a business.” A second chance presented itself in 2006 and the Creeks knew the time was right. They have the traditional first dollar framed behind the counTamara Creek looks to make sure this decoration matches ter and Tamara mentions that her first customers were from before placing it on the tree.

New Harmony Business Associates encourage to buy locally The New Harmony Business Associates introduces their buy local campaign and postcard. We want to remind Posey County and New Harmony residents to shop local to boost our local economy. Often we forget what we have close to home. When is the last time you shopped locally in New Harmony? Bringing awareness is the first step of the campaign. We ask that you make a commitment to visit New Harmony businesses at least once a week to find out what you have been missing. We think you will be surprised at what you find. This holiday season, consider doing good by buying locally from small businesses, a valuable way to invest in our local economy. When you shop with local merchants you are supporting friends and neighbors and preserving your choice of unique and special merchandise, often unavailable elsewhere. Money spent in in local businesses stays in our local economy and strengthens a sense of community. Sixty eight cents of every dollar spent at small local merchants stays in the community, unlike when you shop at national chains. New Harmony offers a wide and unique range of gift items and goods at competitive prices, Clothing and accessories, Drugs, sundriesand fine toiletries, Gourmet food items, cheese, and local beer, Convenience store groceries and gasoline, Tea and coffee, fresh baked bread, wine and spirits, Taverns, fam-

person for the church. “We try and go beyond a simple nativity to remind folks that when God became flesh, hardly anyone noticed or cared. That’s still true, so we’re trying to help people remember that Christmas is about more than lights, trees and presents, it’s about the birth of the promised Messiah. Christmas is about Jesus Christ.” Everyone is welcome to attend, including groups. There is no cost for this

event. Guests are encouraged to dress warmly. Times are 6-8 p.m. (December 9), 5-8 p.m. (December 10-11). In case of inclement weather, call (618) 382-5081 for important updates.

Many are very friendly and interesting.” When asked what is the most difficult part of running a floral and gift business, Tamara says that it’s the unpredictability. “I always have a schedule for the day but very often that plan changes.” She was also surprised to learn how much time it takes to place orders and merchandise the store. Her favorite parts are many, though. “I love to be creative and my previous jobs in finance didn’t allow for that. “ While the festivals in town require extensive preparation, she says she can always count on her staff, family and friends to get the job done. “I have loved tailoring the store to my own tastes and take great pride when a customer compliments it.” Tamara says, “Floral work sustains the business and weddings are a big part of that, but returning and local customers are a necessity.” The Golden Rose anniversary celebration is Saturday, November 26th, which is “Shop Small Business Saturday.” There will be refreshments and prizes, and be sure to look for anniversary balloons throughout the store for special offers and savings.

Experienced Lady Wildcats roll as Vikings offense is absent

By Steve Joos It was a battle for a little more than four minutes Friday night. The Mount Vernon Lady Wildcats and North Posey

Lady Vikings were tied for a brief time in the first quarter of their girls’ basketball game at Poseyville, but when Amy Seifert hit a layup with 3:57 left in the opening

chapter, that was that as far as the county battle was concerned. Mount Vernon scored the last 10 points of the first quarter as they overran the Lady Vikings 46-16 for the Lady Cats’ third victory of the season. “We got the jitters out of our system a little bit and we started playing,” Mount Vernon coach Steve Mitchell said. “Once we started running the floor and started scoring some points off our defense, the girls relaxed a bit.” For his part, North Posey coach Tracy Stroud was pleased with his team’s defense, but the offense? Not so much. “We played pretty good defense, but we’ve got to find a way to score,” Stroud said. “Our first game, we scored 18, this game we scored 16. We don’t look aggressive with the basketball; we have to figure out a way to score more. You’re not going to win any games when you score that few points no matter how well you play defensively.” Hitting some outside shots settled the Lady Wildcats down, as well, as the Lady Cats drained four threepointers. After Seifert put the Lady Cats in front, Megan Randall drained a trey to make the score 7-2 and then Ellen Foster scored before Jade Dixon buried a three and Randall put in another two of her game-high 16 points to help the Lady Cats build a 14-2 lead at the break. In fact, after Hayley Harness tied the game at 2-2 on a turnaround jumper with Mount Vernon’s Jacey Ritzert attempts a shot over the two minutes gone in the first outstretched arms of Caitlin Herrman. The Wildcats de- quarter, the Lady Vikings were held scoreless until feated wht Vikings easily. Photo by Dave Pearce

North Posey honors fall athletes, team accomplishments

By Steve Joos North Posey High School honored its fall athletes with a banquet and awards ceremony Thursday at the school. Athletic director Virgil Ferguson hosted a general program in the auditorium and the teams then adjourned to a series of venues around the school for their individual ceremonies, which included honoring the Vikings’ senior lettermen, AllPocket Athletic Conference selections and the individual and team trophy winners from the fall season. The football team presented the school with a trophy as the PAC co-champions, along with one for the Posey County News’ North-South championship, while the volleyball squad presented the Mount Vernon Invitational reserve title and the girls’ golf team presented trophies for winning the Mount Vernon Lady Wildcat Invitational, the PAC meet and qualifying for the Regional. Maggie Camp was also recognized as a state qualifier in girls’ golf. The cheerleading team even brought home some hardware, as they present the National Cheerleading Association awards

for performance top team and the most improved. Ferguson also asked the freshman athletes to stand up and announced their senior year (2014-15) would be his last school year as Vikings’ AD. Ferguson introduced each of the All-PAC athletes and presented medals to them, with the help of the caches. All-PAC football players were Wes Harness, Bryce Koester, Nick Neidig, Alex Goebel and Colton Motz, who was also named the team’s offensive captain. Jared Reidford, Austin Little, Jourdan Cox and Kurt Seibert each earned honorable mentions. Jordan Butler and Caitlin Herrmann represented North Posey on the All-PAC volleyball team, while Camp and Allison Koester were all-conference girls’ golfers. Other All-PAC athletes honored were Kyle Swope (boys’ soccer), Olivia Goebel (cross country) and Lauren Meredith (girls’ soccer). All-PAC honorable mentions including Jace Gentil (boys’ soccer), Megan Redman (volleyball), and two girls’ soccer players, Brianna Perry and Maddie Koester.

Mount Vernon honors volleyball team with post-season banquet By Steve Joos To say it was a good year for the Mount Vernon volleyball team would be putting it mildly. The Lady Wildcats won 27 matches, finished second in the Big Eight Conference and won their first Sectional in 14 years. Those achievements were recognized last week during the team’s banquet and awards ceremony at the high school cafeteria. Coach Andi Allford and her assistants, Michelle Northrop, Michelle Buchanan and Jamalyn Tekoppel, reviewed the Lady Casts’ season and handed out awards. “I was very proud of the way things went and what they gave me throughout the season,” Allford said. Varsity letters went to Kathryn Hamm, Meagan Montgomery, Sarah Duckworth, Meagan Martin, Jacey Ritzert, Bailee Schelhorn, Lauren Stemple, Brittany Wallis and Shelby Ritzert. Martin earned academic All-State honors, while Martin, Stemple, and Jacey Ritzert were named to the All-Big Eight Conference team. Jacey Ritzert received the most valuable offensive player award, while Stemple was named winner of the Hustle and most valuable defensive player awards. Martin received the Volleycat award. Hamm and Shelby Ritzert each received their first varsity letters. Hamm and Montgomery were the senior letterwinners. “The seniors will be missed,” Allford said. “Every year, you’ve got to make adjustments. They were a fun group to work with and they will be missed.” Allford praised the seniors’ dedication to the program and their work ethic.

Mount Vernon High School held their annual volleyball awards banquet at the high school cafeteria this week. Major award winners are Shelby Ritzert, Big 8 All-Conference; Megan Montgomery, Academic All-State; Megan Martin, Big 8 All Conference and Most Valuable VolleyCat; Jacey Ritzert, Big 8 All Conference and Best Offensive Player; and Lauren Stemple, Big 8 All Conference, Best Defensive Player, and Hustle Award. Photo by Terri Koch As for the underclassmen, Allford is happy to have many experience players back for next season and hopes to see a better turnover at the lower levels. “That’s the big part of keeping a program alive,” the coach said. “As far as our team for next year, we want a Regional. We got a taste of it this year by winning a Sectional and that (a Regional title) is our goal.”

Mobley connection at UE to continue with Reid By Steve Joos Reid Mobley’s parents, Blake and Laurie Mobley, are both University of Evansville graduates, so the message on t-shirt Wednesday afternoon seemed especially appropriate. “Bleed Purple.” As in the UE school colors. Mobley won’t just bleed purple next year, the Mount Vernnon swim standout will also be in the water for the Purple Aces after signing a national letter of intent to attend Evansville. “It just felt right,” Mobley said. “From the first time I stepped on campus, it felt like the best fit for me. There were some great opportunities that were there, I really liked the coaching staff, (Aces coach Richie) Perkins is an excellent coach, I loved the team, even the professors, I just felt it was like the best fit, so I chose UE.” Even though parents are proud alumni of UE, deciding to swim at Evansville was not a quick and easy decision, according to Wet Wildcats coach Larry Zoller. “Reid spent a lot of time with this,” Zoller said. “This was not an easy choice

for him. He visited a lot of schools and did a very, very good job of choosing one. Evansville offered him a great package financially and he decided that for what he wants to be academically, it was the best school for him.” Closeness to home and family connections not withstanding, Zoller felt that Mobley made the best choice as a school. Mobley fits in with the type of swimmers on the Evansville roster, the coach added, as well as the level of competition the Purple Aces face. “Reid started out as a good age group swimmer, but not a top age group swimmer,” Zoller said. “Right now, he’s a top high school swimmer (ranked eighth in the state), so he’s come a long, long way and I’d like to feel that we’ve been instrumental in helping Mobley reach the level he’s achieved.” Mobley feels that the school will provide some excellent opportunities academically for him and the school will provide a good base for him for the rest of his life. Zoller also praised Mobley’s work ethic and cited that as a reason why he

earned a chance to swim in college. Mobley plans to major in business at UE, with hopes of going into entrepreneurship. He chose Evansville over Carthage University, Gardener-Webb and North Carolina. Mobley has been swimming since he was six years old and has been working on an athletic scholarship since he started swimming in high school. When UE presented its offer to him, it was just too good to pass up, he added. Swimming at Mount Vernon has been a big lift for Mobley. “Coach Zoller has just taken me to a different level of swimming,” he said. “He has really gotten me to where I am now athletically. I’m happy to moving on to college, but I feel that my time at Mount Vernon was excellent.” Mobley thanked the team, coach Zoller and his family for their help and support over the years while he was preparing to bleed purple. He won’t be alone on the swim team, either, since former Lady Wet Cat Michea Reinitz will be a senior on the team. She’s currently a junior at Evansville.

A friend of mine and his son went duck hunting the other day. They were up way before daylight, drove to their hunting spot and got the decoys out just as the sun peeked up over the hill. After a day of cold rain, a zillion questions from the boy and no ducks, they drove home. When the dad came through the door I asked him how their hunt was. “O.K.”, he said. “Cold, wet, no ducks. The boy never even got to shoot. Kind of disappointing I guess”. Then his son came through the door and I also asked him how the hunt was. “It was great!”, he said. “Dad and I spent the whole day together. We didn’t get to shoot but we talked a lot.” Then he walked off beaming with pride and satisfaction. I guess it’s all a matter of how you look at it isn’t it?

Cats bite Vikings, from Page B1 up in the second half, but he was mostly pleased with the way Lady Cats played, especially since they were running in a number of players in and out of the lineup while trying to find the right combination. The Lady Cats were able to maintain control of the game, however, leading 32-13 after three quarters. North Posey was trying, but got away from the scouting report, especially late in the second quarter, which is something they can’t do, at least not until they find some offense, Stroud said, adding that he felt the team played better defense in the season opener Tuesday against Harrison. Despite the win, which sent the Lady Cats into Thanksgiving break with a 3-0 record, Mitchell saw room for improvement. “We got time to work on those (before the Sectional), so we can get better. “Mitchell said. “Everybody played well, we try to work as a team and get good rotation on the help side, so I think they were all ready to play. I’d like to give kudos to the entire team.” After Randall, there was plenty of balance offensively. Jacey Ritzert was next in scoring with eight points, while Foster put in four. Dixon, Shelby Ritzert and Lauren Stemple each added three points, while Seifert, Rachel Cash, Charlotte Roberts and Cheynne

Strobel each put in two. And about that er, “spurt” late in the second quarter? “We had a spurt?” Stroud said. “With us, one basket is a spurt right now.” Hayley Harness led North Posey with seven points, while Hannah Harness had four, Caitlin Herrmann three and Amy Brandenstein two. The reserve contest also went to Mount Vernon 31-17. Shelby Ritzert paced the reserves with nine points, while Strobel and Abby Randall each added eight. Erin Wolf put in four points, while Kaysie Collins chipped in two. The Lady Vikings played good defense for a while Tuesday, but once again the offense sputtered in the second half as North Posey fell in the season opener 46-18. “That game, I really have a great feeling about that game,” Stroud said. “I thought we played some great basketball in that game except for scoring.” The Lady Vikings passed the ball well, took some great shots, the team played great defense, holding Harrison’s top offensive threats well below their average. North Posey got off on the right foot, leading 7-2 after the first quarter, but the Lady Warriors came back and went up 17-14 at halftime. After that, the roof caved in as North Posey was outscored

29-4 after the intermission. “So far, the girls are still working hard in practice,” Stroud said. “If they keep working hard in practice, hopefully we’ll find that offense for them.” Hannah Harness paced the Lady Vikings with six points, while Hayley Harness, Brandenstein and Herrmann each put in four. Hayley Woodruff led Harrison with 12 points. Rachel Ungetheim scored 11 points in the preliminary, but it wasn’t enough as North Posey fell 34-13. Hannah Hostettler scored the other two. North Posey is very young this season, with just one senior on the roster (Herrmann) and one junior in the starting lineup, along with three sophomores. “Our one senior Caitlin Herrmann is showing good leadership and has really stepped up,” Stroud said. “Our junior, Amy Brandenstein, has done a good job, but Caitlin’s really took the rein as far as leadership and she’s been one of the best leaders we’ve had.” Now if she could just get some shots to fall. For now, the Lady Vikings are young, inexperienced—and need to put a few in the hoop. North Posey fell to 0-3 after a 48-28 loss at Class 1A’s top-ranked Vincennes Rivet on Saturday.

Newly minted Fraternal Order of Police Auxiliary established in Posey County Photo and Story by Valerie Werkmeister There is a saying that says, ‘behind every good man stands a good woman.’ That certainly holds true for a group of women who decided their supportive roles needed to be taken to a higher level. These women were joined together by their husband’s chosen career as police officers. Over the years, a few of the friends discussed how they should get together more often and help each other through the ups and downs of being a “cop’s wife.” Nothing more ever materialized until this past summer. Michelle Fortune, wife of a Posey County

Sheriff’s Department deputy, decided to take this idea to a more formal level and create an Auxiliary unit of the Mt. Vernon Fraternal Order of Police. (FOP) She sent letters to all the wives or significant others of the FOP members in good standing to garner interest in forming such a group. The intent was simple: to support the FOP, but also enjoy each others’ fellowship. It was also decided that the group would be open to police officers’ extended family members. Aunts, mother-inlaws or cousins would be eligible to join if the FOP member was in good standing. “After talking with a few ladies from the

MV man injured in tree stand accident Indiana Conservation Officers are investigating an accident in which a Mount Vernon man was injured when he fell from a tree stand Monday afternoon, which was the third day of Indiana’s deer firearms season. Initial reports indicate that David Bruce Robb was deer hunting in rural Posey County near Oliver. Robb, who was not wearing any type of full body safety harness, stated that he was climbing up a old

ladder stand when something broke and he fell about 10 feet to the ground. Robb stated he was on the ground for a few minutes then started to walk around. Robb started to walk home and was picked up by a relative. Robb did not indicate to anyone he had fallen until he collapsed at a residence on Springfield road. Posey County EMS, Black Township Fire, New Harmony Fire and Indiana

Conservation Officers were dispatched to the Springfield road address to assist Robb. Robb was transported to Deaconess Hospital where he was treated and released with minor injuries. Indiana Conservation Officers are continuing their investigation to determine the circumstances of the accident. Indiana Conservation Officers are responsible for investigating all hunting related accidents.

Vanderburgh County FOP Auxiliary, I wondered why we couldn’t just create our own for Posey County,” Fortune said. After determining the interest was there, she decided to go for it. She presented a plan to the FOP and asked for their support in creating an Auxiliary. Once they had their blessing, the Auxiliary was off and running. The group first appeared as an official entity during Mt. Vernon River Days. They obtained a booth and provided pledge cards to be drug free. The football toss was their initial fundraiser that proved to be very successful. On October 15, officers were installed during a ceremony administered by state officials. Bevery Crump, the past president of the state FOP Auxiliary traveled with a few

members from her local lodge to facilitate the installation. Michelle Fortune was elected president, Cara Latham was chosen as vice president, Meredit Rueger will serve as the second vicepresident, Michele Boyster was chosen as the secretary, Suzanne Buchanan is the treasurer, Joy Alldredge will serve as the sergeant at arms, Kari Denning is the historian and the trustees include Melody Oeth, Candace Middleton and Mary Beth Henrich. The group has established the Frank Smith Scholarship Fund that will be awarded annually to the child of a law enforcement officer in the amount of $500. They intend to be a positive part of the law enforcement community and will participate in fundraisers to help support their goals.

By Steve Joos If the cloud hanging over the New Harmony School dissipates, the Rappite boys’ basketball team should have a promising future. But this will be a rebuilding year, but the team will be rebuilding with a young and hungry group. “Obviously, when you lose six seniors, nobody likes to say this, but we are in a rebuilding mode,” coach Jim Little said. “I’ve got two returning players, Clint Mathews and Kyle Whitmore, who did a lot of playing last year. Elliott Lange had some spot playing and Thomas Steagall had some time, so from that we have to build.” With doubts currently being raised about the future of the New Harmony school, Little is hoping that the school stays open, since it should have a fairly strong team on th courts next year, even they’ll be in rebuilding mode for this season. The Rappites also have to retool their offense and defense due to a lack of height. The team is shooting the ball well, due in part to some extensive work during the off-season. Since the coaches have had limited opportunities to work with the team because of open

gym rules, they haven’t had much of a chance to institute an offense and defense, but watching the Rappites scrimmage has given Little some idea of where they need work. “I have an idea of what we’re going to run this year,” the coach said. “We’re definitely going to be centered around Kyle and Clint, but there are some other kids who really stepped it up over the summer, Thomas Steagall being one of them. Andrew McDaniel’s little brother, Caleb McDaniel, came out and he’s been a pleasant surprise.” “Little” may not be the best way to describe the six-foot-three Caleb McDaniel, who’s penciled in as a starter along with Whitmore, Matthews and Steagall. The fifth spot is up for grabs with Lange, A.H. Eaton Zach Sollman among the possibilities. There are three freshmen out this season, including Dakota Wasson, Tyler Wright and Ryan Blackwell. Each of them are good athletes, as is sophomore Nathan Spann. Wright is one of the possibilities for the fifth spot, Little added. “I like this type of challenge,” the coach

New Harmony faces uncertainty with optimism, and bright future

Please see Vikes, Page C3

By Dave Pearce Success comes with a price. No one has found that to be more true than the athletes who have played basketball at North Posey under Coach Matt Wadsworth, entering his fourth year at the helm. However, with success also comes expectations. And despite graduating five players who either started or made great contributions to last year’s Viking basketball success, Wadsworth expects this year’s team to compete and win, just as they have in his past three seasons. “On the surface, you look at it and people say ‘how do they replace five seniors who contributed so much last year’,” Wadsworth said. “But they way I look at it, you take the success that the football team enjoyed and you look at the guys who were a big part of that success. You have Colton Motz, you have Nick Neidig, Jourdan Cox, Wes Harness, Alec Werry, and Tyler Adkins. Those guys had great

Former USI star looks to lead Wildcats into the promised land

By Steve Joos It was right before the start of school when Mount Vernon wrestling coach Todd Gilpin left for a teaching and coaching position ion Clarksville, Tenn. The Wildcats have been pushing the pace in pre-season practice and the team has responded, according to new coach Tim Alcorn. “They’re looking great,” he said. “This has been the best first few weeks of practice we’ve ever had. We’ve definitely been pushing the pace, going two a days and the kids have responded well.” The Cats should be stronger in the lower and middle weight classes, with nine returning lettermen in the 105-160 pound range. The team is thinner at the upper weights, but Alcorn sees this less as a weakness and more as an opportunity for some of the underclassmen to step up and make a spot in the lineup for themselves from the start. Seniors John Hoehn, Jordan Dallas and Stephen

Members of the Mount Vernon Boys Varsity Basketball team are Collin Varner, River VanZant, Drake McNamara, Jevin Redman, Brian Blanford will be counted on for leadership this season. Hoehn will be going for his third trip to the state finals this season and hopes to return home with a medal this time, while defending conference champion Dallas is also capable of making the trip to Conseco Fieldhouse, while Blanford will be going

for his first trip to Indianapolis. Getting to Indy will be a challenge, especially with the high caliber of wrestling in Evansville. “Mater Dei, Memorial, Reitz. You can’t overlook those guys,” Alcorn said. “In the conference, there’s Jasper and Princeton and

Washington’s coming up, but in Evansville, Mater Dei, Memorial and Reitz will be the teams to beat.” The Cats set goals weekly and for the season as a whole, Alcorn said. For the year, they hope to win 20 dual meets, send as many wrestlers as possible to state and win a Big Eight Confer-

ence championship. Alcorn has spent the last seven years as an assistant at Memorial and Mount Vernon, while also working the mats as an IHSAA official. The son of former Heritage Hills coach Nick Alcorn, Tim Alcorn hopes to be hard-working and goal

oriented and wants to help them get the most out of the their abilities. He doesn’t plan on failure and wants his team to be ready to succeed from the start which may be helpful starting out on short notice. He thanked the community and the fans for their support in early going.

Lady Wildcats could be the team to beat if expectations turn to reality

By Steve Joos It’s early yet and they have a lot of ground to cover, but Mount Vernon girls’ basketball coach Steve Mitchell is pleased with how his team is looking so far. “I’ve been really happy with them,” Mitchell said. “We’ve got five lettermen back, so they pretty well know what to expect to do. We don’t have everything in yet, we don’t have as much time to work on the fundamentals as we want to, but they’re looking real good and we’re happy with the progress.” The Lady Cats are looking for ways to improve their halfcourt offense, Mitchell said, adding that the half court game wasn’t what it needed to be in order to win close Sectional games. Experience will be a key strength, with five returning letterwinners back to go along a strong group from last year’s successful reserve team. The Lady Wildcats will be quick and they’re very coachable. They aren’t big however, and that means that positioning, rebounding and keeping the other team off the defensive boards will all be priorities, the coach added. “We also want to see if we can use our quickness to force people out of their offense,” Mitchell explained. “We want to try and force them to take quicker shots and get some steals, so maybe the rebounding won’t be that big of a deal.” When discussing the key players on this year’s team, talk has to start with the five retuning letterwinners. Seniors Megan Randall and Amy Seifert are back, along with juniors Jacey Ritzert, Jade Dixon and Lauren Stemple. Senior Charlotte Roberts is first off the bench, while juniors Rachel Cash and Bailey Schelhorn will also help out. Sophomores Shelby Ritzert, Ellen Foster and Cheyenne Strobel round out this season’s varsity. One other thing the Lady Cats need to do is develop a

deeper bench, since it will be inexperienced at the outset of the year. The team looked good in the team’s preseason scrimmage at Pike Central, Mitchell said, adding that the Lady Cats struggled early offensively, but picked things up, especially in the second quarter. “Early in the scrimmage, I didn’t think we had our legs under us yet,” Mitchell said. “We missed some shots that I think we were going to hit, but I was really happy in the second quarter, we both played zone offense and our zone offense

played much better than it did last year.” The lady Cats will have to face a schedule which includes a strong Big Eight slate headed up by Jasper and Mount Carmel (each of whom finished ahead of Mount Vernon last season). Outside the conference, North Posey, Mater Dei, Vincennes Rivet and Memorial will all be strong. As for the Lady Cats, Mitchell thinks they can contend for the conference title and be competitive throughout the season. And to see them continue to make progress, which they seem to be doing right now.

New Harmony’s Lady Rappites filled with hope and promise By Steve Joos First, the good news for the New Harmony girls’ basketball team. They will have all of their starters back from a team which won six games last season and they will be a little better acquainted with coach Jennifer Toopes’ system. Now, the bad news. After the starting five, there isn’t much of a bench and the returning five are still young. “So far, so good,” Toopes said. “It’s better since all five starters are back. It makes practice go smoother.” The team should be stronger from the outside, but with just nine girls on the varsity roster, depth will be a weakness. “We’re hoping to carry six or seven reserve games this year to give the freshmen some time,” Toopes said. “It would be nice to have that tenth girl who can help us practice fiveon-five.” Morgan Matthews, Kendall Morris and Madison Worman lead the returnees. Worman led the team in scoring last season, av-

eraging 9.5 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest. Matthews wasn’t very far behind, averaging 9.3 points per game while leading the team with 7.2 boards and Morris averaged 7.3 points per contest. “Last year, we won six games,” Toopes said. “So our goal for this year is to win at least 10 games and then be competitive in the Sectional.” Alyssa Scherzinger (1.6 points and 1.3 rebounds per game) and Kelsey Owen (6.9 rebounds per contest) round out the starting five. “All five of them are going to very strong,” Toopes said. “Our top five are going to be very strong and then it drops off.” Not only is the bench short, it’s also green, with three freshman (Kendall Wilson, Jessica DeckardMills and transfer Kate Newman) and a transfer junior (Jordan Lyke) backing up the Lady Rappites’ starting five. Toopes feels that Mount Vernon, North Posey, Memorial and South Spencer will the team’s strongest competition this season, while she’s also wary of

Rappites, from Page C1 added. “I’ve always liked it. When you have a team with a lot of talent, it’s hard to please everybody, but we should have a lot of hungry players here. We’re not going to have the same team as last year, but we’ll have some kids who can shoot the ball. I’m looking forward to it.” A lack of height will be a drawback for the Rappites, nor will experience outside of Whitmore and Mathews. The team does have a strong work ethic and that will be needed as the team needs to get into what Little called “basketball shape.” Lange will be a strong rebounder, while McDaniel has a strong work either. Mathews has improved his shot, while Eaton is another player with a strong work ethic. Little has five assistants, including former Rappite Cody Peerman, a father-and-son combination (Allen Buck and Cody Buck),

as well as two other former Boonville Pioneers, Joe Ettensohn and Larry Padgett. They will be up against a schedule which includes Sectional heavyweights Wood Memorial, Tecumseh and Day School (Little’s choice as the favorite along with the Braves). Cannelton will be improved, as well as Logootee (where the Rappites will play a preseason scrimmage on Nov. 19). There are also a sizable number of stronger Illinois schools on the agenda, including Oblong, Palestine and Red Hill. Little hopes to see the team get better as the season goes on, especially after the coaches get a chance to work with the Rappites on this year’s offense and defense. How well the team progresses will depend on how well the team handles the adversity which will come from the early setbacks.

Vikings, from Page C1 great chemistry and leadership throughout the fall with that mix. I think that can carry over to this sport, as well.” North Posey fans have developed an expectation and a habit of winning in Wadsworth’s years at the helm. But Wadsworth says that is what the fans and the team should expect. He expects no less. “When you look back to my second year here, we graduated five seniors including our leading scorer and we had a great season following that up,” Wadsworth said. But he knows it will not be easy. This year’s team may not be as quick as teams in the past but Wadsworth expects to utilize his team’s strengths to make up for any shortcomings they might have. “The good thing is that four years into a program, you don’t feel like you are having to start over from scratch,” Wadsworth said. “In terms of play calls and defenses, our basic principles will remain the same. It is just a matter of finetuning our abilities, whether it is ball-handling for certain players or shooting. Each guy has something that he needs to work on to make himself and his team better.” The bad news for North Posey opponents is that Jourdan Cox, who sustained a painful foot injury in football, appears to be ready for basketball. The experienced sharpshooter has gone full bore throughout the past week with help from team trainer Dennis Webb, who was been instrumental in his return to health. “There was a lot of un-

certainty on my part and his when he first came back,” Wadsworth said. “But it is looking pretty positive at this point.” Good basketball teams begin at the guard position where four-year letter-winner Dylan Davenport will have to be replaced. “That’s a position we have competition for. I think Wes Harness suits that position because he uses his body well to protect the basketball,” Wadsworth said. “When Kyle Swope handles the basketball he has speed to get by guys and Alec Werry provides a threat that he can pull up and shoot if guys play off of him. Each one of those guys have strength at that position and right now, it is a competition to see who is going to get a majority of the minutes.” Then there’s the offguard, or shooting guard. Austin Bender is expected to provide a shooting guard or a wing-type player. He can knock down outside shots and stretch out defense to help open the inside for some players who have not seen as many varsity minutes. “I think we are going to be longer,” Wadsworth said. “You look at guys like Cody (Ungethiem) and Michael (Bender) and they are both 6-foot-2, 6-foot-3 guys with long arms who should see some varsity minutes. You look for ways to get better and I think our length on defense can help us be a better rebounding team. We should be able to get more deflections and pressure the ball more.” Scoring will have to come from all over the court as

Wadsworth’s system has no “stars” but is very much team oriented. The Pocket Athletic Conference should be somewhat balanced this year with Forest Park perhaps a slight favorite. The Rangers return several players who saw significant minutes during last year’s perfect regular season and No. 1 ranking going into the tournament. “Forest Park won a lot of games last year by 20 or more points so you have guys who got to play quite a few minutes,” Wadsworth said. “I think Southridge, whose jayvee went 16-4 with sophomores and juniors playing on the varsity level, they could be contenders. You could make a case for Heritage Hills and Gibson Southern and on down the list. So really it is an open race.” While Wadsworth has liked what he has seen so far, he realizes that the varsity game is played at a much faster pace than some of the players are accustomed to. “The biggest thing is getting the guys that have only played jayvee basketball out of that comfort zone,” Wadsworth said. “It took us several days to do that and it may take a few game. But their intensity level and their desire to compete and to win is still there.”

In back are Coach Jennie Toops, Kendall Morris, Morgan Mathews, Kelsey Owen, Madison Worman, and Jordan Lyke. Photo by Dave Pearce last season. I hope to start off a lot better.” Toops is concerned about negative fallout over the school’s uncertain fu-

ture, but she had not seen that in her team, at least not yet. In other words, so far, so good.

Mount Vernon’s Turkey Classic this weekend The season starts this week for the Mount Vernon wrestling team. The Wildcats had their first dual meet under new coach Tim Alcorn Monday, when they traveled to Bosse and they will be in action over the weekend when the Cats host the annual Turkey

Classic. The nine-team field includes the host Wildcats, along with Central, Forest Park, Harrison, North, Pike Central, South Spencer, Tecumseh and Wood Memorial. Wrestling begins Friday at 11 a.m., with the final two rounds set to begin Saturday

at 9 a.m. The reserve Cats were in action this past weekend, going 1-4 at the Heritage Hills Invitational. Mount Vernon topped Washington 30-9, but lost to Memorial 42-21, Southridge 42-23, Heritage Hills 39-28 and Reitz 54-30.

Mount Vernon’s Ash is Academic All State

Mount Vernon High School golfer Bailey Ash has been named to the Indiana High School Golf Coaches Association’s Academic All-State team. One of 20 girls chosen for the team, Ash is the second member of her family to earn the honor, joining her sister, Jenna Ash, who was a member of the 2009-10 team. “Were very, very proud of her (Ash),” Lady Wildcats’ coach Dave Bell said. “Academic-All state is a very tough thing to get, especially in golf and tennis, where they don’t take as many people, so we’re very proud of her.” To make the Academic All-State team, a student must

meet certain levels on their grade-point average, class rank and SAT scores and Ash met all three, Bell said, doing very well on each. On the links, Ash helped out at the end of last season and then took over the number three spot on the 2011 Lady Cats, Bell said, adding that she came on at the end of the season and was a key contributor in the Conference and Sectional meets. She in one of three seniors on this year’s team and she will be missed, the coach added. Ash is undecided on a college at this time. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Garth Ash of Mount Vernon.

Lady Wildcat swimmers could be Mount Vernon’s best ever By Steve Joos Five strong seniors, two of whom are Division I collegiate material. Depth in every event. Oh and did we mention a strong freshman class, led by a nationally-ranked age group swimmer? No wonder Mount Vernon swim coach Larry Zoller is excited about this year’s girls’ team. “We’ve just got strong swimmers everywhere,” Zoller said. “We’ve just got everything together. We’ve got strong swimmers in every event, we’ve got strong relays, we’ve got talent, and we’ve got depth. This could be the strongest girls’ team we’ve ever had at the school, at least at the start of the season.” The Lady Wet Cats already have two girls who are ranked among the top 16 in the state and two freshman girls who will soon be joining them. One those freshmen, Clara Baggett, has been a state champion through the age of 10 and then on up, dominating the state 13-14 age group meet last year. Baggett has already made Junior National times in her events. Fellow freshman Sam Gowdy is just a notch below Baggett, while two more frosh Kelsey Bruno and Rachel Burke, are also expected to contribute. On the other end of the spectrum, the Lady Wet Cats’ seniors will be major contributors. Mary Klueh and Erica McCormick are already state-ranked, with McCormick seventh in the nation in the breaststroke. Kendyl Bourne, Emily Harris and Amy Steele round out the senior contingent, while junior Kelsey Turner will be moving to the distance this year with Baggett competing in the sprints. Taylor Cullman is the team’s other junior and she will help out along with sophomores Madison Denning, Samantha Reese and divers Katie McDonald and Amanda Duckworth. “Talent-wise, we’ve got the most we’ve had in a long time” Zoller said, “They’ve got great attitudes, we’ve got a great training attitude, most of them swam all summer and also the girls statewide are not as strong as they have been. Honestly, there are only two teams that are considerable better than us, and that is Homestead and Carmel. Other than that, we’re right up there. We’ve got a fantastic opportunity,

especially the seniors, to finish their careers on a high note.” Zoller is concerned a bit with diving (with just two divers, it’s the only event where the Lady Wet Cats don’t have a full contingent), while adding that the team is looking beyond the area (Castle beat Mount Vernon in an early season dual meet last year, only to have the Lady West Cats snap back in the Sectional) for the most challenging competition. “Castle is the only team comparable to us in this area,” Zoller said. “We’re going to five away meets. We’re going to Terre Haute, where we’ll swim against Lafayette, we’ll swim against Terre Haute, we’ll swim against Lawrence North. We’ll swim against Jeffersonville (at Terre Haute).” The Lady Cats will also travel to Hamilton Southeastern and Noblesville, where they will face more stiff competition. Zoller doesn’t think the Lady Wet Wildcats will face a schedule as tough as the one they will be up against this season, which includes trips to Bedford North Lawrence (where Franklin Central and Avon will also be lurking), as well as Terre Haute South, Hamilton Southeastern and a major meet at Indiana-PurdueIndianapolis, where Penn will be in the field. This slate won’t be the toughest the girls have faced, Zoller added, but this could be the toughest any athletic team at the school will be up against. The schedule will be tough, but so will the swimmers, and the expectations will be high. “In my brain, I’m thinking top 10 in the state,” Zoller said. “In my heart, we could get as high as third. We’re that good.” It all depends on the team’s chemistry, which will be hard to develop as each of the team’s road meets this season require a four-hour bus ride, but so does the trip to Indianapolis next February. It’s good to get some practice. The opportunity’s there, with Steve Loehr joining the Mount Vernon staff as an assistant, joining Zoller’s other assistants, Brenda Zoller, strength coach Blake Mobley and diving coach Kristin Cooper.

Wildcat boys expected to complete favorably this year team is not as established as it is for the girls, so there will be some experimentation, the coach added. Zoller is also hoping that Mount Vernon will be able to compete with Castle this season. The Knights have beaten the Wet Cats in Sectional competition the last few seasons, but they have suffered due to graduation and while the Mount Vernon coach still considers them formidable, but he also sees an opening for his team. “Sage Irons has deeply improved in the freestyle,” Zoller said. “Danen Turpin is looking good in the sprints.” In addition to Poole, Aaron Duckworth is expected

to help and a lot of Mount Vernon’s success will depend on where the freshmen fit in. Zoller has been very pleased with the efforts of Zach Allyn, Dalton Schaefer, Travis Harris and Keith Turner. The boys’ schedule will be just like the girls: very tough, with most of the major competition coming from schools out of the area. “There are some good individual swimmers,” Zoller said. “But no one that can compete with us as a team.” Zoller would like to see the Wet Cats make the top 20 at the state meet and possibly break a number of school records. Yeah, that sounds like improvement.

summer. “We basically broke almost all the club records this summer,” Zoller said. “And we’ve got probably the biggest boys’ team we’ve had in a long time. We’ve got eight freshman boys coming up and of those eight, six of them have a lot of experience. We’ve got three talented divers, so we’re wellrounded out there also.” Reid Mobley will lead the team in competing for the state meet, with help from fellow seniors Nicholas Loehr and Layton Hopper. There is a strong senior class, led by Wade Mobley. There are only two sophomores on this year’s team, but the Wet Cats make for that with a big freshman class. “We’ve got a lot of balance for the boys,” Zoller said. “We should have two people in every event. The challenge is going to be that we have so many freshmen that we have to see how these freshmen develop and evolve.” The lineup for the boys’

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ swim team has had a great run over the past few years, but the boys? Not so much, relatively speaking. Things are on the upswing for the Wet Wildcats this season; however, as coach Larry Zoller sees an improving team. “We should be improved,” Zoller said. “We should be better. I think we could be top 20 in the state.” Top 20 in the state? Yes, that’s how they define improved in the Mount Vernon swim program. The Mobleys will be key contributors for the Wet Cats, with Reid Mobley already state-ranked and Wade Mobley not too far behind him. The team also had a very successful summer season, with the MTV boys breaking just about all the club‘s records. Sophomore Jacob Poole should be a prime contributor after a good freshman season and setting most of the age group records this

Viking wrestlers looking to rebuild program By Dave Pearce “We are family.” The Viking wrestling program can say, without reservation, this year they indeed are family. As a matter of fact, half the team has a sibling brother on the team. There are Chris and Darren O’Risy, Gary and Shane Martin, and Michael and Jordan Frymire. “It is really neat that we have three sets of brothers on the team but that makes practices king of interesting,” chuckled John Spencer, looking at his line-up in his first year as head wrestling coach at North Posey. “We try not to get brothers going against brothers all the time.” North Posey High School’s wrestling program will be able to fill at least most of the weight classes for the first time in several years. That’s the good news. The bad news is that they still will not be able to fill out the entire roster and the new weight class system in Indiana could cause a few difficulties across the board as teams try to adjust to the new alignment. But there is a lot of enthusiasm in the Viking camp this year as the program has been taken over by John Spencer. He should have plenty of help as he lists Jeff O’Risky, Jake Melliff, Brad Miller, Cory Little, Patrick Price, and Kurt Weatherholt all as assistants. But Spencer is not new to wrestling and knows many of the students he will coach. He has served as varsity wrestling coach at Wood Memorial and at Brown County. He also coached the junior high grapplers at Eastern Pekin before coming to North Posey. But he has been away from the sport he loves for a few years and it has taken some time for him to become reaclimated. Not a high school wrestler, he has taught himself the sport by going to camps and clinics. Looking back, Spencer says he wishes he had wrestled in high school. He chose, instead, to play basketball. Currently, senior Ty Stock is penciled in at the 113-pound weight class while freshman Jordan Frymire is slated at 126. Sophomore Shane Martin is sketched in at 132 while Frymire’s senior brother, Michael, will wrestle at

138. Juniors Seth Elderkin and Eric O’Risky are currently both listed at the 145-pound class while Gary Martin is listed at 152. Sophomore Darren O’Risky is listed at 160 while Butch Dessauer is listed at 179. He, too, is a sophomore. Kolby Lary, another sophomore, is slated to go at 182 while junior Schris O’Risky will wrestle at 195. Austin Little, another sophomore, will anchor the heavyweight class. Kyle Rickard will serve as the team manager. “There is some experience back as Michael Frymire did go to semi-state last year at 135,” Spencer said. “Then we have Ty Stock, who made it to semistate, too, last year. So we have two seniors who have the most experience of anyone on the team.” While the Vikings will look to their seniors for experience and leadership, they could experience some growing pains, especially in the early-going as they become accustomed to their new skipper and the new weight classes. “Austin Little has a pretty good year last year and I really think he is a semistate caliber wrestler,” Spencer said of the bulky sophomore. “And we have

some guys who have limited experience that we are glad to have. There are 12 and they are pretty well spread out, weightwise. That should give us a little better chance to compete in the duel meets.” Spencer indicated he has been coaching in the North Posey School system for five years, mostly in the football area, and said he has never found work ethic to be much of a problem for the students in the district. “If you ask them to do something, they try to do it,” Spencer said. “My practices are organized a little differently than other coaches and they have very little down time during the practices. But then, we try to get them home in time to spend some time with their families and do their homework. They are students and they have things they have to get done academically.” Spencer says it is tough to say where this team is right now because they will not kick off the season until November 28, a match that was not on the original schedule. “It is hard to tell how you are going to do in a real match situation, especially with some of your younger guys,” Spencer said.
