Krietemeyer By Dave Pearce On Friday morning, October 29, 2101, at approximately 9:30 a.m., Indiana State Police arrested Ken-
neth Krietemeyer, 38, of Evansville, for allegedly stealing over $3,500 in cash from a special account set up to benefit Kendra Creek, 22, of Haubstadt. Krietemeyer became the second person arrested this week in connection with the Creek fund. During an interview with Kritemeyer in May, Krietemeyer told the Posey County News, “You always hear about ‘murder, mayhem, and misery’ but you seldom hear about the good things that go on in a community. Posey County takes care of its own.” “She’s such a sweet girl,”
Krietemeyer described Creek in the May interview. “Michael (Kendra’s father) has Multiple Sclerosis. One of the main reasons they left the area in the first place was because their house in Cynthiana had burned down. But Kendra had always said there is no place like Posey County.” On Wednesday afternoon, October 27, at approximately 1:30 p.m., Indiana State Police arrested Mary Gish, 44, of Poseyville, for allegedly stealing over $7,000 in cash from a special account set up to benefit Kendra Creek, 22, of Haubstadt. Creek be-
Gish bank and sponsored several fundraisers. An audit later revealed

Sewer updates to slow Mount Vernon traffic
By Pam Robinson Aaron Burke of Evansville engineering firm Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates, or BLA, provided the Mount Vernon City Council with an update on Phase II of the sewer project at the Monday, October 25, meeting. Burke congratulated the city on the award of a $6.5 million federal community block development grant to be administered by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, or OCRA, for the project. With the final design of the project complete, BLA will advertise for bids in mid-November and hold a mandatory pre-bid meeting in December. Burke said if contractors want their bids considered, they must show up at the mandatory pre-bid meeting—no exceptions. Bid opening is set for January 20, 2011, with a 90-day bid hold. Residents and visitors to Mount Vernon can expect driving hazards during construction, Burke said, along Second Street from Mill Street to the wastewater treatment plant. He explained a 36-inch line will be installed and must cross two railroad tracks. Traffic will head down one lane only on Second Street. He added that traffic will also be disrupted on Highway 69 at the wastewater treatment plant. Burke said the construction would disrupt traffic for around four months. Wastewater and Sewer Superintendent Rodney Givens stated his concern is to maintain the limits on the plant’s permit since the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, or IDEM, closely watches and enforces these limits. Givens reminded the audience that state and federal authorities have mandated much of the work outlined in the Phase II sewer project. Mayor John Tucker added he is hopeful the $6.5 million grant will lessen the financial impact on residents. In other business: •Council adopted Resolution 10-20 to allow a temporary loan from COIT (county optional income tax) to the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund in the amount of $155,000. The loan will be repaid on or before December

Retirement years bring time for craft of choice By Pam Robinson “When I first started on scroll work, it was whatever looked pretty,” admits Mount Vernon wood artist Bob Seitz. “Then it became a challenge. Now when I pick a pattern, I pick it to do fine cutting. It’s always a satisfaction when I get the job done and it’s done right.” His myriad pieces witness he gets the job done right many times over. Seitz’s inventory includes Christian religious items such as crosses of varying size and style and sayings from the Bible. The Last Supper plaque (pictured) required around 40 hours of work. Seitz said the plaque is cut from one piece of poplar wood: no gluing was applied for the light and dark effect. He works with a number of woods—red cedar, cherry, walnut, poplar, pine, mahogany, red oak and white oak—depending upon the demands of the project and the desires of his customers. Eagles and bass fish will appeal to the outdoorsman while keepsake boxes and baskets will lure collectors. These small pieces present a particular challenge for Seitz to cut and stay within tight lines and corners. Yet, he insists, “It’s relaxing. It gets your mind off things at the end of the day. If you don’t concentrate,
you don’t cut well. So whatever’s bothering you or whatever you’re thinking about, you just have to put it aside and concentrate on that saw blade.” Beautifully crafted, Seitz’s pieces are also reasonably priced. The consumer will suspect the artist includes little, if anything, to cover his labor in the price of the merchandise. Seitz attributes his inspiration to his late father Harold. “He was the same type of guy [as I am]. He worked on automobiles, built porches, added rooms to homes. It just came on down the field. I picked up what he taught me.” He attributes his craftsmanship to a lot of practice and intense formal training. Seitz has been finishing scroll work for five years now—the result of a six-evening class taught by a professional in Evansville. As far as Seitz knows, he’s one of only a few scroll work artists in Posey County. His pieces were on display at a sale booth during New Harmony’s Kunstfest. For those missing the event, Seitz will set up a private viewing in his base-

Posey County represented in World Series
Retired Sgt. Gary Krohn, a Stewartsville native, shared honors with more police officers and firefighters as they unfurled a gigantic Texas flag behind the U.S. flag at the first World Series game held in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday. The son of Bill and the late Dorothy Krohn and the stepson of Wanda Glover Krohn, he has served with the Arlington Police Department for 32 years, including his service now in retirement. He was featured on television's "Cold Case Files" for helping to solve a double murder in 2000 from a cold case file. Sgt. Krohn and his wife Betty, who holds her doctorate in education, live just south of Arlington in Mansfield, Texas. They have two sons--Matthew, a Lieutenant in the Navy Reserves and a second mate on an oil tanker, and Nathan, a junior engineering student at Texas A & M University. Mount Vernon resident Bob Seitz shows off some of the beautiful carvings he has made and is selling. Sgt. Krohn is a 1973 graduate of Photo by Pam Robinson. North Posey High School.

OPINION
Holiday World’s Koch is inspiring, well worth the time On Saturday a special friend of mine asked me to attend a Purdue Extension Homemakers day at Ivy Tech. It was scheduled to have three sessions on women’s health, fitness and relieving our dayto-day stress. Our first session was on increasing our THE physical activity (no longer WAY called exercise because this I SEE stresses us out). The present- IT... er encouraged us to think of BY CONNIE adding “physical activity” PEARCE into everyday tasks. For example while sitting in your chair either at work on in your living room marching in place or arm exercises every hour. Another example was while pushing your cart around the grocery doing lunges. She also suggest doing counter top push ups while waiting on the microwave to cook. The next session we attended was on improving your life for a healthier heart. We took a test to see how healthy or unhealthy we are in our current lives. That didn’t go so well. By now I was getting pretty stressed realizing how unhealthy I am. I thought this day was supposed to be encouraging not stressful. It was then time for the keynote speaker, Pat Koch, owner of Holiday World. Before arriving at the event I didn’t realize she was
to be the speaker but Mrs. Koch made the day worthwhile. She is an excellent motivational speaker. I would like to share a few of her ideas that she uses running one of the most successful recreational parks in the United States. She titled her speech WOW! Holiday World hires a lot of young people every summer to run the day to day operations. Koch, who will be 80 next year, still has very strict guidelines on how the employees should treat the guests at the park. Everything Koch discussed evolved around service to others. She said the purpose of her life is to serve others. She expressed that you should serve by choosing the attitude you have about every day life. Koch says “don’t sit on the pity potty”! She reminded everyone that she has been through many challenges in her life including the most recent challenge of losing her son at such a young age. She also has lost her husband and had colon cancer. She expressed that there are a lot of private sad moments for her but when she gets to work it is not about her it is about serving the people. The following were a few of her sugges-
tions for making people around you feel like they are being served by you and making their day better. These are the things they teach their employees but we can use them in our jobs and with our families as well: •Find ways to play, have fun every day •Don’t be too serious, find a way to make others laugh •Be there, be focused. Give of your time more than giving presents •Listen to others – in order to listen you have to be silent (she pointed out that these two words have the same letters arranged differently) •Look at the person while you are talking to someone •Smile at the person •Talk to the person •Make someone’s day (a lot of “that a boy’s) •Appreciate everyone no matter what job they do Koch took service to the next level and said you should show hospitality. She says Hospitality is generous, above and beyond and gracious. Service is an action word and hospitality is a feeling word. Service is a process; hospitality is heart and soul; Service delivers; hospitality overdelivers. Service is impersonal; hospitality is personal. Service is monologue; hospitality is a dia-
logue. Koch reminded everyone of the saying we have all heard at one time or another, “100 years from now it will not matter what kind of house you lived in but what will matter is that you touched one life.” God is very important in her life and she thanks him every day for what he has given her. She left us with this thought, “Surround yourself with good people, you should pick and choose your friends. You are put on this Earth to enrich the world and if you do you will be blessed”. After hearing that wonderful speech it was time for a good healthy lunch then the last session of the day. We chose to attend a topic on finding ways to take stress out of our life. The speaker had many good suggestions but after listening to Pat Koch I was lot less stressed and had a whole new attitude. If God allows me to be alive when I am 79 years old, like Koch, I can only hope and pray that I will be as much as a WOW person as she is today. The one thing she told us to remember if we don’t remember anything else from her speech was to be quiet and listen to others. Let others know we care about them, want to serve them and show them hospitality. All in all I would say it was six hours well spent with a special friend.
Harvest conjures up childhood memories, reminders With the coming of harvest, my memory takes me back to my ole Kentucky home and scenes of a lost world. During their burley tobacco harvest, my parents, sharecroppers themselves, paid for half the labor to cut the tall, leafy stalks and hang them in the barn. After clearing the breakfast dishes, my mother Estelle (pronounced Es – till) rushed
from helping to milk the dairy herd and spent the rest of the morning cooking for the field hands. She cooked dozens of these meals in her lifetime, and I remember the particulars of the table she laid, crowded with enough food to put Cracker Barrel to shame. She would surround the entrée, beef roast or fried chicken, with potatoes (mashed or cooked in butter), skillet-fried sweet corn, green beans or blackeyed peas, deviled eggs, some boiled cabbage or steamed carrots, and her signature biscuits, the perfect circles rounded not by a cookie cutter but by her hands. The men would wash it down with water, Kool-Aid, or milk from our Grade A dairy farm. Surprisingly, Mama hated sweet tea, so she never served it. While they were eating, the men kept one eye on the kitchen counter. Mama set the dessert there that she’d prepared the evening before—usually blackberry cobbler or fried apple pies, but
sometimes coconut crème or chocolate meringue pies. Almost the entire meal came from our farm, from the fat calf to the plump FOR THE chicken, and all had re- RECORD ceived the magic touch of my mother’s hands. She fed BY PAM the calves and the chickens, ROBINSON helped to milk the cows and cleaned the dairy, gathered the eggs, planted and tilled and harvested and stored the vegetables, and picked and put up her own blackberries and apples. Sahe considered it a weakness to use storebought butter instead of churning it as she learned in her youth, but the grocer could offer it cheaper than she could make it. Mama set a plate for me before the field hands came in. She knew, and I saw, how greedily they reached across the table for the
best pieces of chicken and for second helpings. She also remembered how the grownups in her childhood sat at table first, and she was determined to change that tradition. Mama spent little time fussing over hugs and kisses or terms of endearment, but she knew the meaning of sacrificial love. I loved Mama’s cooking, and no food has ever really tasted any better to me. She herself waited to eat what few leftovers remained. Her appetite had paled during the morning’s race to complete her cooking. She had provided her best, and she had seen it consumed within a matter of minutes. No wonder TV dinners or Long John Silver’s seemed a luxury to her in retirement. After all, she knew food tastes best when someone else cooks it.
Letters to the Editor Writer ‘just trying to do the right thing’ To the Editor: It seems to me that if anyone accuses someone of venting, they should study the facts. I called and talked to Mr. Burton of the State Election Board and asked if anyone other than myself or Ms. Butler talked to him about our polling places. He said no. He also said he would not presume to tell the local election board which poll might need to close. He did say he sent Ms. Butler the guidelines. He also sent me the guidelines and asked me to look the ADA up on the internet, which I did. Fact, Ms Greathouse did not talk to Mr. Burton. Fact, Ms. Greathouse did not ask me for the letters to read. Fact, other polling places failed worse than West Lynn. Fact, Election Board and commissioners voted to close West Lynn voting place. Fact, Election Board member said Ms. Butler should not have sent the letter stating the ADA guidelines as the reason. Fact, Ms. Butler sent the letter stating she was trying to save taxpayers money by closing polling places and reducing the poll workers. Fact, both sets of poll workers were at the East Lynn voting place during the primary. The only thing that was not a fact was my conclusion about someone with money or pull that wanted it changed to East Lynn. Until proven wrong, I stand by what I said. If Ms. Greathouse had thought about my letter, she would
Thanks for help with Memory Walk have seen that I was trying to have the right thing done. Was the closing done because of safe accessibility or about money? I have no problem with Ms. Butler, the Election Board or the commissioners as to who they are. I do have concerns with the offices they hold and those who are appointed telling the truth in what they say and do that pertains to their offices. Remember, people are watching that you are doing and saying the right thing. As an after thought, I asked several in the Savah area about the Wilson Community Center. They agreed that it would be more centrally located if they could not have theirs back. The Wilson Center is just off the highway with plenty of parking. Since Lynn Township pays a recreation tax (I think we are the only one that does), use that to make it ADA approved and use it for voting. This would make it more fair for all concerned. It could also be rented out to those who can’t afford the Posey County Community Center. If Ms. Greathouse is concerned about the law, she should ask why the Election Board did not close all of the polling places that failed. Oh, by the way, I like Ms. Greathouse. This is a great country to be able to disagree without being put in jail or shot, like so many other countries. Concerned citizen and voter, Russell A. Granderson
Gavel Gamut’s “A Little Sidestep” My favorite scene in the 1982 movie, The Best Little (Red Ribbon) House in Texas is when Charles Durning as the Texas governor who governs by poll results avoids the news media’s attempts to get his position on Miss Mona’s establishment. I sometimes think of this song and dance when someone asks for my public opinion on certain controversial issues. For you see, we judges may be prohibited from taking such stances including endorsing or criticizing political candidates. Therefore, I will boldly refrain from stating my position on the retention of my colleagues on the Indiana Court of Appeals: Melissa May, Elaine Brown, Margaret Robb and Mark Bailey. I realize Arlene Campbell of Wadesville did not ask how I would vote; she was just seeking information about the judges so she could make an informed decision. Should you have read this column the past few weeks you may recall I have responded to Ms. Campbell’s request with more informa-
tion than she probably thought necessary to the issue of judicial retention. I suggested she
GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE might wish to Google each judge and check their bio’s at IN.Gov. Another approach is to ask your family attorney. Although I know each of the judges who are up for retention, it would be presumptuous of me to try to tell anyone how to vote. But I can share my knowledge of these long time judicial acquaintances. Melissa May and Elaine Brown, along with Chief Appellate Judge John Baker, came to Posey County in May of 2010 to help educate our high school government classes and celebrate Law Day. I have known Melissa since she was a practicing attorney in Evansville and Elaine since she was a judge in Dubois County. Maggie

Robb and I were classmates at the faculty development workshop of the Indiana Judicial Conference, and I met Mark Bailey when he was still a Decatur County Superior Court judge. Each of these judges had to pass a background check and each is a graduate of an accredited college and law school. Also, each had to pass a Bar Examination and, since they are up for retention, each has been an appellate judge for a period of years. During those years each has been subject to oversight by the Indiana Supreme Court and the Judicial Qualifications Committee. Previously, and for several years, I have stated my preference for a system of judicial selection at all levels and for all jurisdictions where election, not appointment, is employed. In my opinion there is no difference in the quality of judges selected or appointed so why should we as a state opt for micro-politics over macro-politics? Of course, whether one advocates for electing or ap-
pointing judges, what is desired is continuous improvement in the quality of justice rendered by the judges. Perhaps we should concentrate on the process by which persons can become members of the pool of potential judges instead of focusing on the method used to select judges from that pool. We could require a pre-law curriculum in college and a judicial specialty in law school. Then we could have potential judges intern in a specific area, say criminal law or family law, with a regularly presiding judge who is an expert in that area of law. If we improve the selection, education and training of potential judges, the method of electing, appointing or retaining them is not critical. However, from the standpoint of our American democracy, it may be preferable to have some type of non-partisan election. Thank you, Ms. Campbell, for your thoughtful letter. I hope these columns have adequately addressed your concerns.

Tails and Trails is great idea Dear Editor, My husband and I were so excited about the "Tails and Trails" event at the Harmonie State Park on Sat., October 23. So....... we loaded up our 5-month-old cocker spaniel named "M. Jagger's Honky Tonk Music Mann,” who we affectionately call " Jagger" with goodies, water, Poo bags and off we went, not knowing exactly what to expect. We were met with the great smiles that we received at the different points along the way. Also, we met other Spaniel parents and told lies about how smart our dogs are. Everyone of those lies are true! We thought we would stay just a short time and see what was going on, but we arrived at 11 a.m. and left at 3 p.m. It was a great time for Jagger to socialize with other people and their dogs. He even met a Mastiff that was absolutely huge and Jagger growled at him. Tri-State K-9 University owner, Bobbie Jo Bottomingly, and owner of Big Max told me that it was because my 12 pound cocker was just scared. I didn't tell Jag but I was a little scared myself. Max turned out to be a marshmallow. We also walked to "Paradise Beach" on the Wabash River (do any of you locals remember that beach back in the 60')? Some fun was had by the New Harmony young folk there. Saturday, the dogs were running free and playing with each other in the water and the sand. That is when I decided I needed to be part of this. I just know that next year, there will be more doggies and their parents. This time of year with the leaves turning was just the right time for walking the trails with your puppies. Thanks guys. Hope you come up with something else in the spring or summer. After listening to how dedicated these people are to the unfortunate dogs in our county, I feel that volunteering for PC Pound Puppies is just right for me.

By: Michael A. Guido Metter, Georgia On a trip to Vermont, a vet said to a farmer, “The cow population of your county is larger than the human population. Why?” “We prefer cows,” he said. If you were somebody else, would you want to be friends with you, or would you prefer cows instead of your companionship?
Some people roll out the red carpet for you one day, and pull it out from under you the next. They love you when you’re buying, but leave you when you’re broke. Like your shadow, they’re with you only when the sun shines. But the Bible says, “A friend loveth at all times.” The one who ceases to be your friend never was a good one.

USI Theatre continues its season with Of Mice and Men USI Theatre continues its 2010-11 season with John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men on Thursday, November 11. The play, directed by Eric Altheide, demonstrates the impossibility of reaching the American dream for two migrant workers in the 1930’s. The performance will be entered in the annual Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF). “All of the characters in Of Mice and Men, without exception, deal with the constant struggle to find meaning

through human contact,” Altheide said. “However, in the migrant laborer’s world of 1930’s America, their loneliness and desperation have caused many of them to look on friendships with suspicion and contempt. Into this world walk Lennie and George, an unlikely friendship that by the end of the play will prove that love can still grow in the harshest environments.” The cast includes best friends George, played by Jeremy Brailsford, and Lenny, played by Kevin Bickwermert, traveling together in northern California looking for employment. They find jobs on a ranch and are determined to work hard, build their savings, and pursue their dreams. Other characters on the ranch are played by Kaleb Sullivan, Candy; Jeffery Dumond, Slim; Nathan Beasley, The Boss; Christian Goad, Curly; Lydia Abell, Mrs. Curly; Craig Patterson, Carlson; Kevin Hawkins, Whit; Preston Harris-Dunlap, Crooks, and Myah, the Dog. The play will be staged at 7:30 p.m. November 11-13
and 17-20 and 2 p.m. November 14 and November 21 in the Mallette Studio Theatre in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center. The artistic team for Of Mice and Men, all USI students, includes Vince Davey as scenic designer, Sean Nicholl as lighting designer, Amanda Cleveland as costume designer and Michael Frohbieter as sound designer. Tickets are $7 for USI students, $12 for adults, and $10 for seniors (60-plus) and non-USI students.

By Valerie Werkmeister Poseyville officials held a public meeting last Monday that gave some residents an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns about the Safe Routes to School program. The town was awarded a $250,000 grant to construct sidewalks and a marked school zone on Fletchall Street. Randy Hancock, from the engineering firm of Hannum, Wagle and Cline, explained the proposed sidewalk route and fielded many questions from concerned citizens. Currently, the proposed plan is to construct new, five-foot-wide sidewalks on Fletchall Street starting near North Elementary School and heading east to Sharp Street. At that point, the sidewalk will turn south on Sharp Street and be constructed on the west side of Sharp Street down to Railroad Street. Maps are available at the town hall if citizens would like to view the marked route. The plan calls for the removal of up to 16 trees along the route. Any existing sidewalk that has buckled from tree roots or is in poor condition will be replaced with new. Sidewalks that are newer or that are in good condition, such as the ones in front of Werry Funeral Homes, will not be replaced. Town council member, Ron Fallowfield, stated that new trees could be planted at each homeowner’s request. The trees would be set back to inhibit future interference with utility lines or tree roots growing into the sidewalk. By constructing these sidewalks, town officials hope to encourage school children a safer way to cross Main Street which is also Highway 165. Often, children are seen trying to cross Main Street at Cale or Locust Streets which has been deemed unsafe due to visibility and a high amount of Main Street traffic. Re-routing the children who walk home away from these dangerous intersections is the ultimate goal. Some residents did not feel it would be easy to encourage children to go out of their way to use the sidewalks. Others felt that the high rates of speed from traffic along Fletchall Street will be dangerous for children to cross without a crossing guard at the school zone until drivers are used to slowing down in that area. Hancock explained that the Safe Routes to School Program is a federal government program designed to encourage more children to walk to school. He admitted it will also take enforcement of the speed limit in the school zone and encouragement from parents and the school for the program to be a success. At this time, there are no plans for crossing guards to be placed at the crosswalk in front of the school. Town council president Bruce Baker stated that school officials declined to staff crossing guards during previous discussions on the subject. It was noted that in the past, a select group of sixth grade students served as crossing guards. However, those in attendance at the meeting felt this was not an ideal solution and an adult should serve as a crossing guard instead. According to Hancock, they hope to open the project for bids in July 2011. Approximately six weeks later, the bid will be awarded and they anticipate construction starting in late August or early September of 2011. They hope the project will be complete by mid-November.

Graves many subjects. Retiring from teaching and moving to New Harmony has allowed him to focus on his interest in art and design. These days he keeps busy designing and building studio furniture and cabinetry. Mr. Schmitt will focus his talk on the ideas of John Ruskin. If you are not sure who that is, don’t feel bad. It is a name well known in the fields of art and philosophy, but not with the general public. So, who was John Ruskin? First and foremost he was an art critic. Born in England in 1819, he died in 1900. He was a painter, but found his true calling in writing. He wrote not only about art but life in general. In fact, the WMI holds 24 volumes of his writings. You may view the titles online by visiting www.workingmensinstitute.org and clicking on library catalog or you might want to stop by and peruse some of his works. In any event, you will want to mark your calendars, and join us for an interesting and informative evening.

Marching Vikings place eighth at state contest By Valerie Werkmeister Starting off on the right foot is critical when you are in a marching band. Actually, it all starts with the left. And practice, lots of practice. The North Posey Marching Band started off the season with big shoes to fill after losing 20 graduating seniors. The young band had a lot to prove and they rose to that challenge time and time again. They earned the privilege of marching against the other top 10 bands in the state in Class D at Indiana State School Music Association finals at Lucas Oil Stadium yesterday. They received an eighth place ranking. By all accounts it was certainly their best performance of the season. “People sometimes say that kids today don’t work hard. These kids are living proof that some kids do work hard,” North Posey Marching Viking Band Director Scott Schmitt said. “It sounds cliché to say that I’m proud of them, but I am. From my per-
spective, I am the most proud of them for going out there and getting better every single week.” Schmitt added that he heard comments from other band directors stating they felt the band improved with each performance they gave. “I have a true, deep sense of pride just being associated with this group of kids,” Schmitt said. Long practices over a long period of time caused the marching band to feel as though they were one big family. Schmitt discussed how the kids would boost his spirits and each others’ on particularly rough days. “You know, there were days when I felt like I just didn’t have enough energy to go out there and do it, but these kids would just lift me up. It is a great environment to be in,” he said. This year’s program was entitled, “Around.” The music was written by An-
drew Yozviak and the choreography was created by Dwight Emmert. The color guard portion was written partly by D.J. Martin with the majority being created by Katie Herrenbruck, a new North Posey High School teacher. In addition to Herrenbruck, Katie Coleman and Brittni Ellis lended their talents to the color guard. They spent many hours on the field with the band in addition to adding a two-hour practice on Wednesdays by themselves. Schmitt rewrote the percussion portion of the music himself, to customize it to the band. He is always looking for new material and will begin the search again in January.
Schmitt also has a keen eye out for potential talent to add to the ranks of the marching band. While there are no try-outs to be in marching band, Schmitt ideally looks for those students who started band in sixth grade and continued through junior high. However, there have been some students who recruited their freshman year. Schmitt also commended the parents and community for their support of the Marching Vikings. “I just want to thank the boosters, the parents, the businesses and the community for everything they do for us. We really appreciate the support.”
The Mount Vernon High School Spell Bowl Team finished Second at the Area Competition at Reitz High School.

State Police investigate eight vehicle crash on the Lloyd Expressway
October 27, at approximately 7:33 a.m., Indiana State Police responded to an eight-vehicle crash on SR 66 WB (Lloyd Expressway) at I-164.

Life will present obstacles and challenges that can change your life dramatically. He challenged the students in the agriculture classes to pursue their passion. We want to thank Mr. Young for inspirational presentation and advice! Fruit Time Again! The chapter is once again

Public input sought on Economic Development Plan Community Foundation Posey County is holding two public meetings to invite comment on key economic and community development issues. The meetings will be held at the following times and places: Wednesday, November 3, 2010 Community Center, Poseyville 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Thursday, November 4, 2010 Alexandrian Public Library, Mount Vernon 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. The County is partnering with the Posey County Economic Development Partnership to create this economic development plan. The community has contracted with Strategic Development Group, Inc. and Hannum, Wagle, and Cline Engineering to research and facilitate the process. Work began in April and will conclude by the end of December.
At the meetings, Posey County residents will be able to review and discuss research findings on the county’s economic status. The public is also invited to complete a questionnaire about Posey County’s business climate. Research reports and the questionnaire are both available on the Strategic Development Group website: www.sdg.us/poseycountyed. The County received a $50,000 award from the Indiana Office of Community of Rural Affairs (OCRA) to conduct the economic development plan. OCRA provides these awards through its Community Focus Fund which receives dollars from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The goal of the program is to encourage cities, towns, and counties to
plan for long-term community development. Outcomes from the economic development plan will include: • An assessment of the “shovel-ready” status of two industrial/business sites in the community with projected cost estimates for necessary improvements in infrastructure (The term shovel-ready refers to sites which can quickly accommodate the construction of a new business.) • A long-term vision of the community’s economic future • A set of prioritized goals and objectives and a projected budget – income and expenses • A plan with written text and appendices fully documenting the planning process, various sources and

types of input, and expected actions and results • An overall “roadmap” diagram in each action plan showing process flows, responsibilities, time schedules, benchmarks, and costs • Individual task and organizational work plans for groups responsible for specific steps in action plans • A schedule and process for plan revision and updating According to William Newman, President of the Posey County Economic Development Partnership, “This process has given the county a great opportunity to bring all its residents together to plan for a better economic future. If you live in Posey County, the public meetings are your chance to be heard.” Gene Culiver, the planning committee chair, posed the following questions: “What should we be doing to keep and attract quality employers? What are the investments we should be making in our roads, utilities, schools and other public services? What will it take to make Posey County a prosperous community in the 21st century? ”

Retiree has made a business of ‘sitting at homes’ By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon native David McCarty, Sr. urges Posey County residents to Rest Assured, his new house sitting service. McCarty retired in July after working 51 out of his 63 years, most recently for 10 years with ADM Milling in Mount Vernon. The Purdue graduate now draws on his experience as a landlord and mechanical maintenance man to insure his clients that their property will look at least as good as when they left it for a business or pleasure trip. “I just didn’t see myself going completely from one extreme [full-time work] to the other [full-time retirement], he says. House sitting allows him to fill a need in
David McCarty the community while enjoying a flexible schedule. McCarty describes his thorough routine on a recent housesitting job. “I picked up their newspaper
in the morning. They had some potted plants out front and a flower garden in back, and they asked me if I would alternate watering them. I walked through their home – checked their hot water heater, made sure nothing had sprung a leak, looked under the sink, made sure all the windows were locked. They had two yard barns out back, and I went out there twice a day to make sure nobody had tampered with the locks. I went back in the evening and alternated turning on the lights in the home. I picked up their mail and put it on the counter and just made myself at home for an hour.” Mc Carty’s background allows him to be more than a visible presence in the
home. “With a mechanical background,” he explains, “if something started to leak, I’d know how to turn it off and isolate it.” He points out that such intervention would be far less costly than the typical $500 homeowners’ insurance deductible—and far less of a hassle than filing a claim with the insurance company. His house sitting extends to caring for such small animals as house dogs and cats. “I’d make sure the animal had water and food and was taken out if necessary. I wouldn’t have any problem with that.” McCarty says he will tailor his services to meet his clients’ needs. “Some people may only want me to
stop in once a day or every other day,” he states. “I’m very flexible – whatever you think would be best for your particular situation.” He cites what he believes is a need for his service in the county. “Lot of times, people don’t want to impose upon their neighbors. A lot of families have husband and wife both working and taking care of the kids, or people may have had their immediate family to move away and they don’t have any children or anyone around. But they hesitate to ask a neighbor.” Mc Carty’s clients can check out his references and talk to previous clients. A Vietnam veteran serving one year in 1967-1968, he is a lifetime member of both
the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign War, or VFW. He will also provide a clean criminal history background check upon request. Interested individuals may call McCarty at 838-6498 for more information and price quotes. Familiar to many in Posey County, McCarty has four children, three who still live in the area, and six grandchildren. “Being raised around here, I understand how people feel about things and think about things. I can relate,” he says. “People work hard for their property, and they keep it up.” Rest assured, McCarty will do the same as a house sitter.

Faith, convictions call Funkhousers The names Mark and Cathy Funkhouser have become synonymous with Community Marriage Builders, or CMB, the regional organization dedicated to helping couples maintain love and respect in their marriages. After participating in and later attending leadership training for CMB workshops and retreats, the Funkhousers now team teach in small and large group relationship education and enrichment sessions. They are also involved in the Worldwide Marriage Encounter Movement. Mark and Cathy believe in the sanctity of marriage
and in a couple’s ability to create a happy and healthy marriage. Those beliefs bring focus to almost all their time and energy outside their workplaces. Married in 2000, the Funkhousers laugh as they explain they faced the challenge of a North-South Posey marriage. Mark has lived in Mount Vernon all his life while Cathy is a transplant from the St. Wendel area. They‘ve weathered the difficulties of and now celebrate their blended family. Between them, they have helped to bring up four sons: John and Michael, 25-year-old twins; Nick (25) and Mike (23).
Even in his career as a probation officer in Superior Court, Mark stays focused on marriage and the family. For the past 23 years, he has been working his recovery in a 12-step program, and he encourages hurting individuals and families to get involved with supportive, healing communities, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, Alanon and Families Anonymous. He is the secretary of the Community Corrections Board. A 28-year employee of Bristol-Myers Squibb, Cathy enjoys helping families also. For the past six
years, she has been involved with Tri-State Marine Families, a tribute to her Marine son Michael, who will be leaving the military in January to start his own family. In addition, she helps to organize the annual Stomp Out Parkinson’s Disease Unity Walk. Both Mark and Cathy are active in St. Matthew parish as Eucharistic ministers. Mark serves also as a lector and a member of the pastoral council. “Faith calls us to be open to helping other people,” Mark says. The ripple effect of the Funkhousers’ devoted service extends far beyond the boundaries of Posey County.

Vikings bow out despite perhaps their best effort By Dave Pearce In every high school football locker room across the United States, the teams have either stated or unstated goals at the beginning of the season. Those goals are to win as many games as you can during the regular season, improve each week, and be playing the best football your team is capable of playing when playoff time rolls around. The North Posey Vikings did a pretty fair job of achieving those goals but on Friday night, the local team’s best simply was not good enough to overcome a solid Southridge team. The Vikings ended their season with a 17-6 loss to the Raiders. But it certainly was not a game where the Vikings did not have their chances. Perhaps the biggest play of the night for the Raiders came in the first quarter. On a play that seemed to set the tone for the night, Southridge had marches the ball downfield on the opening kickoff but the Viking defense had stopped the Raiders on the Viking four yard line. Facing fourth-and-four on the North Posey six, the Raiders decided to forego the field goal attempt and go for the first down. The Southridge line pushed the Viking line backwards to the one and the Raiders were able to get in on the second play from scrimmage following the big first down and they never trailed. The Vikings did their share of helping the Raiders as both defenses stepped up. The Vikings had the ball with 2:40 remaining and after Wes Harness gained five yards on first down, an offsides call and a dropped pass stalled the momentum and the Vikings would never make it into the end zone. But North Posey Coach Joe Gengelbach said his team played well, despite the outcome. “I thought we were ready to play and I thought we played hard,” Gengelbach said. “They gave us a great effort this week in practice. We knew Southridge plays great defense and we thought we might be able to get on top and put some pressure on them but it turned out to be the other way around.” The Vikings moved the ball relatively well between the two 20-yard lines but simply could not find the combination to get the ball over the goal line. Early in the second quarter, the Vikings mounted a drive that ate up over half the quarter as quarterback Colton Motz gained five and then hit Jared Reidford for a big gain out to the 47. Harness got five on the first play and Jourdan Cox picked up another first down on a big run. The Vikings moved the ball down to the 14-yard line with 7:32 to play but after Harness gained four and Cox gained two,
North Posey sophomore running back Wes Harness gets great blocking from his offensive line but the Vikings were unable to get the ball into the end zone on Friday night. The Vikings fell 17-6 to Southridge. Photo by Dave Pearce the Vikings called a time out. An incomplete pass brought on reliable kicker Nick Crumbacher who nailed a 24-yard field goal to pull the Vikings to within 7-3 at the 6:05 mark. But the Raiders then mounted a drive of their own that culminated on a touchdown pass with the team facing third-andgoal from the eight when they struck on a pass to the corner of the end zone. The Vikings were unable to answer and trailed 14-3 at the half. The Vikings appeared to have new life taking the secondhalf kickoff down to the 13 but again, the Vikings were unable to solve the defensive puzzle and Crumbacher hit another field goal to bring the score to 14-6 with 6:38 remaining in the third quarter. With just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter, the Viking drive stalled and a rushed punt by Nick Neidig
resulted in a punt only to the 50. But on first down, Alex Goebel came up with a Southridge fumble at midfield but again, the Raider defense picked up the pace and the Vikings were forced again to punt. “I thought our defense played well against a quality opponent,” Gengelbach said. “We knew we were going to have to take advantage of any opportunities that we had because they just don’t give up many points. They are fairly quick in the secondary and the linebackers played well and then they had a couple of big kids up front who gave us fits all night.” The Raiders put the final clamp on the Vikings in the fourth quarter when the Viking defense held them to fourth-and-goal from the 10-yard line. A chip field goal would end the scoring

Wizards bring exciting ‘family-friendly’ show here By Steve Joos A capacity crowd enjoyed an evening of basketball “Wizard-ry” and had more than a little fun Thursday as the Harlem Wizards traveling team visited New Harmony to help raise funds for the school athletic booster club and the school’s PET. The final score (not that it mattered) was 79-69 with the Wizards besting a team of former Rappites players, New Harmony coaches and members of the community, but that wasn’t as important as the enjoyable program of trick shots and banter with the fans, especially the younger ones. Not only did the Harlem Wizards feature the hardwood antics of “Fast Break” (Jerry Botto), “Big Mike” (Mike Matthews), “A-Train” (Arnold Bernard), “Road Runner” (Rashan Barner), “DP” (David Paul) and their teammates. “We saw (the Wizards) playing on the road and we thought it would be a great way to kick off our basketball season,” school athletic director Tabbi Farrar (who also played for the “WizardSlayers,” the local team) said. “We thought it would D-Train shows off the finer points of spinning a basketball on your finger to Isaih be a nice way to bring out a Forsee on Thursday evening. Photo by Dave Pearce crowd and fund raise.” Farrar (who the game announcer called “Barbara Streisand” despite her regulation nose) thought that the evening was a bug success and felt that everyone had a good time, especially with the audience participation segments. The team’s halftime show included one Wizards player attempting to make a trick shot with selected members of the audience (two parents, a middle school students and an elementary school student) helping out with the rebounds. Each member of audience also tried to make a shot from their spot on the floor.

Wildcats win the wrong half in loss to Memorial By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon Wildcats dominated most of the statistical areas in Friday’s Calss 3A Sectional Semifinal football game…except for the one on the scoreboard. A pair of big special teams plays highlighted a big second half for the visiting Memorial Tigers, as they mauled the Cats 48-33, ending Mount Vernon’s gridiron season for the second straight year. The Wildcats had 20 first downs, compared to seven for the Evansville school. They racked up 429 yards in total offense, while the Tigers managed just 316. The sometimes struggling Wildcat ground game even came up with 170 yards rushing to 81 for Memorial, but the special teams also allowed Sean Yarbugh to pop open for a 64-yard punt return with 4:52 left in the third quarter to open up what had been a close game. While Jason Stemple completed 25 of 42 passes for 259 yards and a touchdown, he was also intercepted three times, including one that Alex Wimber brought back 34 yards for a score with 6:11 to play in the second quarter. At one point, the Cats were up by two scores and held a 27-21 halftime lead. They had scored four times before the intermission and turned the ball over three times. “We didn’t match their intensity in the second half,” coach Paul Maier said. “At the start, we didn’t match their intensity. I think that was the difference, that, and our special teams play hurt us a little bit tonight.” In addition to the punt return, Mount Vernon’s kicking game gave up field position too often and usually-reliable Zac Deig missed four extra-point kicks on the evening. There were numerous points in the game which could have been crucial, as the Wildcats couldn’t contain a screen pass which they worked on defensively for most of the week in practice. And then there was the one other statistical area where Memorial had an edge on Mount Vernon: penalties. The Cats were whistled for 11 penalties, costing them 82
yards, many of them in crucial moments, including one a possible incomplete pass in the Mount Vernon end zone on fourth down and goal from the Wildcats’ five yard line midway through the third quarter. Tiger quarterback Dane Hurley got a second chance, this time from the three and ran it in for a game-tying touchdown. Jacob Hurley then kicked the extra point and Memorial was up for good. “The kid’s facing the quarterback and not the receiver,” Maier said. “I don’t know how you can touch the receiver if you’re not facing them.” The Cats never seemed to get a big advantage even when they had one in the first half. Stemple marched the team downfield in fairly quick fashion on Mount Vernon’s first possession, taking the them 66 yards in four plays and connecting with Will Terbeck from 35 yards out with 9:35 to go in the opening period for the first score of the night. That 6-0 lead lasted long enough for Dane Hurley to connect with Yarbrough, who then galloped 64 yards for a touchdown. The first of six A. J. Stuckey extra point kicks made it 7-6 Memorial 9:16 to go. Mount Vernon’s defense held after that and forced a fumble on the Memorial one-yard line with 16.2 ticks left on the clock. Aaron Choate stuck it in and Stemple added the two-point conversion to make the score 14-7 after the opening chapter. Stemple added an 11-yard run with 7:34 to go in the second quarter as the Cats opened a 20-7 lead, but then the senior signal-caller threw a pick six to Wimber on Mount Vernon’s next possession. Stemple answered with a 10-play, 74-yard drive and polished things off with a one-yard scoring run as Mount Vernon stretched the lead to 27-14 with Deig’s only extra point of the night. The Cats wouldn’t score again until Stemple’s two-yard run with 4:13 left in the game. By then, the Tigers had taken
command. First, Hurley connected with Stuckey for a 41-yard touchdown strike with 44.7 seconds to go in the quarter, cutting the halftime deficit to 27-21. Then came Memorial’s first drive of the second half, which took them to the Wildcats’ eightyard line and had apparently stalled there when a yellow flag dropped and the Tigers got a second chance. Yarbugh’s punt return made it 35-27 and that’s how it stood after three quarters and then Hurley found Max Gamble on third down and eight from the Tigers’ 12-yard line for an 88yard scoring play with 7:15 left in the game. Stemple got the Cats back on the scoreboard, but Hurley closed things out by taking the ball 45 yards for a touchdown with 3:57 to go. In addition to his effort through the air, Stemple paced the Cats with 64 yards rushing, while Blake Marshall (nine catches for 87 yards) was his favorite receiver. Hurley didn’t throw the ball as much, but he was the exact opposite of Stemple in some ways, completing 11 of 16 passes for 235 yards and three scores. Gamble hauled in five of those passes for 127 yards, while the sophomore quarterback also led Memorial with 64 yards on the ground. “It’s always tough to end the season, no matter how far you go,” Maier said after the Cats checked out with a 6-5 record. “Defensively, we did a nice job, except for that one play.” Maier was pleased with the way his senior class played and their contributions throughout the season and their careers. Maier said that there wasn’t anything negative he could say about the season and felt that the program was on the cusp of having a competitive program. Maier complimented Memorial on the way they played and felt the Tigers had the potential to go a long way. “When you play a good team, you can’t have many breakdowns,” the coach said.

Six Wildcats named to All Big Eight team Quarterback Jason Stemple leads a group of one-half dozen Mount Vernon players on this season’s All-Big Eight conference football team. Stemple is one of three Cats on the all-conference offensive unit and they’re joined by three players on the defensive side of the ball. Receiver Aaron Straub has been named to the offensive unit, along with lineman Teddy O’Connell. Defensive All-Big Eight picks are Jacob Ewers, Aaron Choate and Logan Pace. Stemple completed 180 of 386 passes for the Cats, who went 6-5 overall and reached the Class 3A Sectional 24 Semifinals after finishing fourth in the Big Eight with a 3-3 mark. The senior signal caller had just eight interceptions (half during the regular season) and passed for 30 touchdowns, a single-season school record. He also carried the ball 95 times for 422 yards rushing and another seven touchdowns, while adding a two-point conversion in Friday’s 48-33 loss to Memorial. Straub was Stemple’s favorite receiver, hauling in 157 passes for 841yards and nine touchdowns. Though he was an all-conference defensive pick, Choate rushed for 144 yards on 31 carries with three touchdowns and
caught nine passes for 60 yards, 44 of them in Mount Vernon’s Sectional win over Gibson Southern. The top four teams in the conference captured all of the spots on the All-Big Eight squad. Undefeated conference champion Jasper has eight selections on the team, while runner-up Mount Carmel has six. Wayne Murray, Mitch Mattingly, Aaron Miller and Joe tucker represent Jasper on the offense, while C.J. Beckman, Nick Otto, Dan Jenkins and Max Bawel line up on the defensive side of the ball. All-Big Eight Golden Aces include Tanner Crum, Shawn Bumpus and Pete Condol on the offense, along with Gary Howder, Beau Grant and Shane Witsman pnm the defensive side. Mount Carmel, which went 3-1 in the conference and finished second, is the only Big Eight team still competing in the postseason after a 56-12 win over Fairfield in the Illinois Class 3A playoffs. Third-place Washington (8-3, 4-2 in the Big Eight) rounds out the tem with four picks, including offensive players Brad Thornton, Joe McCormick and Tanner Fritschle on the offense, along with defensive player Kade Bowman.
Wildcat runners honored at harrier banquet For the most part, the Mount Vernon cross country teams made progress this season. And that progress was recognized Wednesday night with a banquet and awards ceremony at the high school cafeteria. Coaches Jenny Ploetz and Tim Searcy reviewed their teams’ respective seasons and presented awards at the banquet. “We had a good season,” Searcy said of the boys’ team. “We had a lot of question marks at the start of the season and we only had three runners wit a lot of varsity experience, but we were able to come together as the season went on and have a good year.” Despite the lack of experience coming in to the season, the Wildcat boys were still able to be competitive, finishing fourth in the Big Eight Conference and running their best race of the season to place fourth in the Evansville Sectional. The Sectional was pushed back a night due to the weather and that may have hampered the Cats at the Pride’s Creek Regional, where they came in ninth, since the schools feeding into Petersburg were able to run their respective meets on time. Mount Vernon did have a Semistate qualifier, however,

Varsity letters were presented to Renshaw, D.A. Wilson, Ryan Dick, Sean Ritzert, Dane Wilson, Collin Knight and Bryce Newman.

The Wildcat boys were second in the conference and third in the Princeton Invitational in addition to their fourth place Sectional finish. D.A. Wilson received the team’s senior award. The Lady Cats had some other challenges, according to Ploetz, not the least of which was undermanned until midway through the season. “The season had its ups

Reserve Vikings get valuable playing time in successful 4-5 campaign Game summary: The North Posey JV Vikings made a long journey to Pike Central on Monday night and defeated the Chargers 34 – 8. The first quarter was marred by numerous mistakes by the Vikings on offense. They included a bad snap, numerous penalties, and missed open receivers. “We played the first quarter almost exclusively on their end of the field,” Coach Mike Kuhn said. “We were disappointed that we couldn’t score then, but we kept making mistakes,” he added. Finally, in the second quarter the Viking offense began to move the ball effectively. Running backs Eric O’Risky, Dylan Wright, and Darren O’Risky carried the load as Wright scored first for North Posey on a 1 – yard isolation run behind JV linemen Nick Heldt, Gary Martin, Trey Staples, Aaron Hensley, Tyler Adkins, and Clint Cox. “We were very proud of our linemen this year who opened up gaping holes and protected QB Alec Werry very well,” said Coach Patrick Rose. Those linemen, who were helped by Dallas Glover and Kolby Lary, once again did their jobs as Eric O’Risky scored from 14 yards out with 7:31 to play in the second quarter. That was only 12 seconds after the Vikings’ first touchdown because of Wright’s recovery of a Charger fumble on the kick-off. The PAT kick by Werry was good making the score North
Posey 14 – Pike Central 0. With just 54 seconds left in the half, the Chargers finally hit pay dirt on a 3 – yard TD run by Lance Adkins. The PAT kick was thwarted on a Pike Central procedure penalty moving the ball back to the 8 yard line. Adkins sliced through the middle of the Viking defense, however, for the two-point conversion run making the score North Posey 14 – Pike Central 8. At halftime the Viking coaches encouraged their team to play harder and to play together in the second half. It seemed to work well as the Vikings took the opening kickoff and marched the distance on strictly running plays. The drive was capped
by Eric O’Risky’s 8-yard TD run with 7:06 left in the third quarter. “That drive was a thing of beauty,” Coach Kuhn said. “We like to come out in the second half and establish the run and I think we did that,” he added. This time the PAT kick was blocked making the score North Posey 20 – Pike Central 8. Although he struggled earlier with his control, Werry rebounded by going 5 – 9 with two interceptions and 1 touchdown. His throws included a 37-yarder to wide receiver Mitchell Kuhn, a 13-yarder to TE Tyler Adkins and two 8-yard passes to Kuhn and receiver Jacob Bender. With 1:32 remaining in the third period, the JV Vi-
kings struck again on a twoyard run by Wright. Werry’s two-point conversion run made the score North Posey 28 – Pike Central 8. In the final frame the Vikings scored their last touchdown with 4:52 on a nifty one-handed catch in the endzone by Bender. Werry set this score up on a great interception and run down the Charger sideline. The PAT kick was no good making the final score 34 – 8 in favor of the visiting Vikings. Many Viking defenders contributed to this win including cornerback Cameron O’Brien, who played solid defense all year, Bailey Porter, Taylor Brown, who had a drive ending interception in the fourth quar-

gan in their first game of the tournament, with Evansville facing Valparaiso in the second contest. Consolation and championship contests are set for Dec. 4. The team’s recruiting coordinator, Kost has helped to recruit four classes which have produced four Big South Conference AllFreshman selections, three all-conference picks, a Big South Conference Freshman of the Year, a Big South Scholar Athlete of the Year
and ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American. One of those former freshman all-conference picks, Sydnei Moss, is on this year’s squad, along with six players from Indiana, a group which includes former Castle standout Taylor Epley. A junior from South Augusta, SC, Moss is also a two-time All-Big South Conference second team pick. The Lady Chanticleers
were 17-13 last season, finishing fifth in the Big South with a 7-9 conference mark. They reached the semifinals of the conference tournament in 2009-10, losing to top-ranked Gardner-Webb 64-56. This was CCU’s fourth straight winning season under coach Allan LaFrance. A 1995 graduate of Norte Dame, Kost was an assistant men’s coach under former Coastal Carolina men’s assistant coach Lewis Preston
during the 2002-03 season before moving over to the women’s program. He was an assistant boys’ coach at St. Joseph’s High School in South Bend for two seasons before heading south. At St. Joseph’s, he was involved in all aspects of the program, including on-court coaching, player development and scouting. Coastal Carolina opens the season on Nov. 12, against Southern Virginia at Conway, SC.

Daddy... It seems without you in my life, things have never been the same. What happened to those crazy days when I was just a child. What happened to all those times when I always looked to you; No matter what was happening in my life, you could change the gray skies blue. Daddy, some days I can still hear your voice. Yet before I can turn around to see your face, the sound has been erased. Daddy, if I could turn back time and once more hear your voice; I’d tell you how much I love and miss you. And that a year has not yet begun to heal the pain, I know as I held your hand and told you how much I loved you; ou; I would be O.K. I just did not realize it was going to be so terribly rribly difficult, with all the wonderful memories you left behind with me. Please always know I love you and no one can take your place; ace; Years may come and go, but your memory will never be erased. sed. In loving Memory of my Daddy, Kim
