Griffin Post Office on chocking block By Valerie Werkmeister The fate of the Griffin Post Office is undecided, according to postal officials who conducted a public meeting at the Griffin Ruritan Building on October 3. About 30 Griffin residents asked questions and expressed concerns over the possible closure. A postmaster from Wheatcroft, Ky., Sandra Mosley, addressed the residents citing the reason for the public meeting was to listen to their concerns and explain the study process. Griffin is one of 131 other post offices on a list to determine whether they can remain open or be forced to close due to hard-time economics. In a nutshell, Mosley stated the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is broke. She stated the USPS loses approximately $24 million per day and approximately $8 to $10 billion per year. She added that there has been a 20 percent decline in the amount of first class mail being sent and in four years it is expected to rise to a 70 percent

County Clerk looks for ways to stop theft of Genealogy records-Posey

By Valerie Werkmeister Theft of records in the Posey County Genealogy Department brings a whole new meaning to identity theft. Posey County Commissioners heard from Genealogy Department Clerk, Betty Postletheweight, during their October 4, meeting that a few changes are needed to help minimize record thefts. Postletheweight along with genealogy department employee, Connie Conrad, explained that visitors are stealing old stamps dating back to the 1800’s from records. Old stamps are valuable to collectors and many that are stolen are found for sale on internet auction websites such as ebay. Conrad stated they have found folded records with plugs missing as thieves used an exacto knife to cut through the layers of paper to extract the stamp. Conrad added that she has heard many stamp collectors no longer buy stolen stamps, but that the practice does still happen. Both women lamented that records they know were in place at the beginning of the year are now missing. To help curb theft, Postletheweight proposed changing the hours the department is open. Many other area genealogy departments limit their hours or operate by appointment only. She proposed that the office will only be open for research, under Conrad’s guidance, on Mondays and Fridays from 12 -4. They will also use a sign-in sheet and request a photo ID. They would also like to encourage visitors to call ahead to schedule appointments. Information and appointment requests can also be sent to poseygenealogy@poseycounty.gov. Postletheweight explained that it is not their intent to deny access to the records, they just need to enact a better system of controls over the information they have. They will provide plenty of notice to the public before the new hours become effective. A discussion also ensued over the organization, Family Search, and their request to copy information. Postletheweight explained the organization is connected to the Church of the Latter Day Saints (LDS). Once they copy the records, they make the information available for genealogy searches online or sell the information. She explained there is a fear among other counties who have agreed to LDS copying the records that the county will no longer have control. In essence, LDS has placed a type of copyright status on the information. Attorney Adam Farrar believed this is a far-fetched notion and that the county would never lose its right to use its own records. More information would

decline. Retail volume mail is down 14 percent. Mosley also cited that a one-cent increase in gas prices cost the postal service $8 million. Why? The answer is simple. The world has switched to electronic services to keep up with fast-paced society demands. People use e-mail and social networking websites such as Facebook to keep in contact with one another. “People don’t send the amount of mail they used to. The average family gets one personal letter every seven weeks,” Mosley said. According to Mosley, there are a number of things the postal service has done in an effort to cut costs. Districts have been consolidated, personnel have not been re-hired when postal employees retire and routes have been adjusted to the workload. The postmaster general’s salary has been frozen for the past few years. But, with losses in the millions and billions, these measures are not enough. Post offices on the potential chopping block are those that re-

ported less than $27,500 in revenue. In 2007, Griffin earned $20,000 and that number declined to $18,000 in 2010. According to Mosley, if the Griffin Post Office is closed, there will be a 10year savings of $570,000 to the USPS. If it does close, the options that are left for Griffin residents include going to a village post office unit (VPU), or a rural route service in which mail is delivered to residents’ mailboxes by a rural carrier. A VPU is a local business that would offer postal products. Mosley stated that Griffin is in a good position for residents to keep their current address since a rural carrier route is already established. Mosley noted that the Depot Diner might be a potential location for a VPU. Many residents objected citing the lack of space and the hours of operation would be a hindrance to that option. Mosley stated that some communities were able

Posey Sheriff’s Dept. finds stolen copper By Dave Pearce The Posey County sheriff’s department is at it again. On Wednesday morning, the sheriff’s department recovered about 1000 pounds of stolen copper. According to Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, Jail Commander Mark Pharr was “doing what he is supposed to do.” “We have a system here in the jail whereby we can monitor outgoing calls,” Oeth said. “Mark Pharr intercepted a little information and then with all the copper thefts that we have had in the area, mainly last year, we are constantly on the lookout for things like this.” Oeth said that increases in the prices of salvage metals have gone up so much that his officers must now constantly be on the lookout for things of this nature. “Just as an example, in the last two or three weeks, some people actually went out and picked up a tractor on a low-boy trailer,” Oeth said. “The Indiana State Police recovered that over at one of the salvage yards where it was sold for scrap.” Oeth said that detective Tom Latham has been routinely checking area salvage yards as stolen items continue to show up more and more as scrap in the tri-state. “As a result of that, we are finding other things,” Oeth said. “With the information that Mark Pharr intercepted yesterday which was ‘go Posey County Sheriff’s Department Tom Latham and Posey move the copper before they find County Sheriff Greg Oeth look over the more than 1000 pounds of it,’ Tom just happened to be not too copper they discovered as a result of monitoring outgoing calls from Continued on Page A11 the Posey County Jail.

Jeff-Jackson Dinner draws crowd to hear Gregg By Dave Pearce Indiana gubernatorial candidate John Gregg was the featured speaker at the annual Posey County JeffersonJackson Day Dinner held Wednesday evening at the Mount Vernon Junior High School cafeteria. Gregg touted the uniting of the two political parties at a state level to help fight the problems, particularly the economic ones, in the state. “The no ‘Democratic’ problems and there are no ‘Democratic’ solutions and there are no ‘Republican’ problems and ‘Republican’ solutions,” Gregg told the crowd of about 125 that gathered at the school. “There are just problems.” Gregg stressed that with the problems come “opportunities,” and he sees the state as having a lot of

“opportunities.” “We need to lay all the bickering aside and work on solving the problems,” Gregg said. Gregg said that the last legislative session should have been about jobs but that it wasn’t. “There was fighting over logistics and past elections and that doesn’t solve any of the problems,” the Vincennes resident said. He went on to highlight the many things that Indiana has to offer including its location as “the crossroads of America,” He touted the state’s water and waterways and maritime centers as well as the state’s supply of coal.

Kevin Lee Davidson Kevin Lee Davidson, 44 of Evansville, formerly of Mount Vernon, Ind., died Tues., Sept. 27, 2011, at his home. He previously worked for Ryder Logistics. He is survived by his wife, Chennel Davidson: daughter, Amanda Davidson: grandson, Xander Davidson: stepchildren, Sheliah and Keauno Snider: sisters, Chris (Keith) Scott, Sharon (Wayne) Scott, Tammy Lang and a brother Bobby Davidson. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by parents Bob and Sharon Davidson and sister Melinda Davidson. Funeral services were Monday at Osborne Funeral Home in Evansville.

We’ve been asked… “What happens if I prefund my funeral and prices go up?” Just like anything else, funeral prices will increase over time. However, one of the most compelling reasons to prearrange with our firm is that we offer advance funeral planning options that grow over time to offset inflation. That’s the kind of assurance you can count on from a family-owned funeral home.

Logo design contest extended The New Harmony Bicentennial Commission has extended the deadline for its logo design contest to November 15, 2011. The goal is to encourage broader participation by area artists. According to Logo Committee Co-Chair, Maggie Rapp, the judges met to review logo submissions and decided that none of the entries, to date, expressed the logo in a way that captured the past, present and future of New Harmony. The specifications that only one logo design can be submitted per artist and that each logo must include the phrase “New Harmony Bicentennial” and “1814-2014,” still apply. All entries Anna Schroeder serves up good treats at the St Peter’s must be original designs. More info and rules are available at www.usi.edu/nhgallery United Methodist Church of St. Phillips booth at the Fall and at www.hoosiersalon.org/newharmony.html, or you may Festival.

Seeds of the Sower

By Michael Guido

One day, as a young man was about to leave home, his mother asked, “Robert, will you promise me one thing?” “Yes, ma’am,” he answered. “Promise me,” she begged, “that every night

before you lie down to sleep you’ll read a chapter from the Bible and pray.” “I will,” he said. That promise led to his conversion. Later, Robert Moffat went to Africa as a missionary, and there he labored for 45 years.

He was famous for his explorations, education and evangelization of Africa. Men are what their mothers make them. What are you making of your children? Visit us at: www.TheSower.com

citizenship and interpersonal skills as they “learn by doing,” a concept that is central to the 4-H philosophy. The mission of the Purdue Cooperative Extension System in conducting the Indiana 4-H youth development program is to assist youth in acquiring knowledge, developing life skills and forming attitudes that will enable boys and girls to become self-directing, productive and contributing members of society. The many activities central to the 4-H program are fun and educational for its members, in addition to being functional in their core aspects of active participation and personal growth for each 4-H member. Locally, Posey County 4-H Clubs will observe National 4-H Week in a variety of ways. Some clubs are planning to create 4-H posters to display in schools and other public places, and many Posey County 4-H members are planning to wear 4-H apparel to school

during this week. Still other clubs have planned special community service activities for the week, and all local third and fourth grade students will receive 4-H promotional materials at school. The Indiana 4-H Program is part of the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service. Nationally, the Extension Service is a part of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, and local leadership for the program is provided by 4-H Extension Educators and trained 4-H adult volunteers. Whether you are a child or an adult, now is the perfect time to become involved in Posey County 4-H. Each spring, Posey County 4-H clubs reorganize and enroll new youth members and adult volunteers.

October 11 meeting planned to discuss future of the Big Creek Bottoms in Posey A public meeting is being held October 11 at 6 p.m. to present results of a hydraulic study conducted on the Big Creek bottoms, designs to stabilize eroding sections of the creek, and costs of the proposed designs. Public input is being requested on the proposed design and hydraulic study results. Light Snacks and beverages will be provided. The study is being funded through a Lake and River Enhancement Grant (LARE) awarded to the Posey County Drainage Board. The LARE program is overseen by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and its funding is derived from boat fees. The project is being contracted through Wetland Services, located in Henderson, Ky.

The main objective of the grant is to provide designs and environmental permitting information for at least three project in the Big Creek bottoms. The focus area of the grant was predetermined by the Big Creek Watershed Steering Committee and includes the channel and floodplain of Big Creek from around the Oliver Road bridge to State Road 69 bridge. A topographic survey is being conducted to support a hydraulic analysis and engineering designs. Feasibility of the designs will be determined based on the cost of the projects and the results of a flood study. Anyone who would like more information should contact Blair Borries at (812)746-9543

United Way campaign fundraisers Keith Spurgeon, United Way of Posey County campaign chairman, said that thanks to the community spirit and generosity of local business people, there will be fundraisers for the United Way of Posey County campaign. On 2 Tuesdays, October 18 and October 25, Tequila’s, Southwind Plaza in Mount Vernon, will donate 20% of all sales to the United Way. A coupon is required and may be obtained from any United Way volunteer or call 838-3637. On Thursday, October 27, St. Philip’s Inn, 11200 Upper Mount Vernon Road, will donate 10% of all sales that day to United Way. On Thursday, November 3, Wilson’s General Store, Broadway at Highway 62 East, will donate

10% all sales that day to the United Way. No coupons are required for Wilson’s or the St. Philip’s Inn. Spurgeon asked everyone to participate, saying “It’s good food, it’s a good time, and it’s for a good cause.” Also during October, if McKim’s IGA customers turn in their store receipts, McKim’s will donate 1% of the receipt amount (except for alcohol and tobacco products, taxes, and office services) to the United Way of Posey County campaign. Elizabeth Baier, executive director of the United Way of Posey County, said “Please turn your receipt in before leaving the store and help in making sure services are available for the Posey County com-

munity.” Funds raised in the United Way Campaign go to support 20 local agencies and more than 75 programs that provide services to the people of Posey County, including 2-1-1, the easy-to-remember number to call for information and assistance about needs and resources, and the new prescription drug discount program.

Disaster loans available for local residents State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) announced residents and employers of Gibson, Posey and Vanderburgh counties may apply for disaster loans if they were negatively impacted by this year’s spring storms. Recently, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) officials — in response to a Sept. 2 letter from Gov. Mitch Daniels — made these special lowinterest loans available to residents, businesses and non-profit organizations affected by severe storms, hail, tornadoes and flooding from April 19 to June 6. Tomes said many in Senate District 49 were, in fact, negatively impacted

by these storms and had already requested assistance earlier this summer, but were denied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “I’m thankful Gov. Daniels requested a disaster declaration by the SBA,” Tomes said. “Now, these loans generated from that appeal can benefit local residents and employers who didn’t have other means of managing the storm damage.” Residential loans are available for damaged real estate and personal property. Employers may apply for loans to cover machinery, equipment, inventory and other assets that were negatively impacted.

Tomes said disaster loan applications may be accessed on SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/. Special business loan applications may also be downloaded from the SBA website at www.sba.gov. If residents prefer to print and mail their applications, they may be sent to U.S. Small Business Administration Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, Texas, 76155. Tomes said individuals and business owners may call the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 1-800659-2955 for more information.

SCHOOL

Mount Vernon School Corporation changes insurance carrier By Rhys Mathew The Mount Vernon School Board voted to change carriers for property and casualty insurance at the Tuesday, Oct. 3 meeting. School Superintendent Tom Kopatich recommended ESCRFT, saying “Shrode has done an outstanding job and it has nothing to do at all with service. When all things are even, it’s important to help local, but I also see at this time when we’re talking over a $70,000 difference, we have an obligation to our taxpayers to save finances.” Premiums through the local insurance carrier had reportedly increased after some liability claims were filed, but precautions have been taken to prevent similar incidents in the

future, according to school officials. The new insurance plan is through ESCRFT, a risk pool formed by Indiana Public Schools. In a risk pool, a shared fund pays claims and provides services to the entities contributing to the fund. Although pools are defined as “something other than insurance,” they serve the same purpose as traditional insurance—to protect against unexpected losses. Loren Evans, Director of Business and Technology, said the pool currently has 25 members and when “adding a school, that school’s additional premium goes into the reserve and the additional risk is added as well.” ESCRFT requires the district to join

for a minimum of three years, which will begin Oct. 15, 2011, with premiums adjustable according to assessed risk in the 2013-2014 years. The company that would be handling claims has offices located across Indiana, including an office in Evansville, according to information presented at the meeting. Some schools have opted out of the pool. “Each [school] had slightly different reasons for not choosing to stay in the pool; some of them had [updated] property evaluations and increases in premium related to that, some of them didn’t believe in the pool concept, and change in leadership also made a difference,” said Evans. Kopatich said, “We understand the risk of

a pool, and we feel that at this time, the risk is worth the savings.” Other topics covered included approving unpaid pregnancy leaves of absence for two teachers, accepting resignations from Patricia Culley-Sims effective January 2012 and from girls’ assistant basketball coach Michelle Johnston effective immediately. The board also granted permission to the MTV Swim Club to use the pool and surrounding areas on Dec. 4 for the annual swim meet fundraiser. The next meeting of the Mount Vernon School Board will be held Oct. 17 at 5:45 in the Mount Vernon Junior High School.

Boy Scout Troop 390 visited Shreve’s Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze Sunday, Oct. 9. The group, which consisted of around 40 scouts and family members, traveled to Barnhill, Ill., for pumpkin picking, a cookout and a true corn maze experience. When the scouts arrived, they roasted hot dogs and made s’mores before enjoying Shreve’s many activities. Shreve’s features entertainment for all ages, including pedal tractor races, a smaller hay bale maze, and shops with handmade crafts and food items. “My favorite part of the night was beating my brother [Daniel Motz] in the obstacle course,” said 14-year-old Derek Motz. The scouts then set off to conquer the corn maze. Each year, the corn maze features a different theme; throughout the maze, clues are hidden to help solve a riddle. Mike Shreve, who owns and operates the Pumpkin Patch

along with his wife, Sharla, said, “We’ve operated the pumpkin patch for 22 years, and the corn maze for six years. There’s nothing scary in the maze, but it can be eerie at night.” Scouts went through the maze in small groups, and time spent in the maze varied from 20 minutes to over an hour. Colton Owens, 12, enjoyed the corn maze most, saying “It was fun because you got to go through and find the clues.” New Scout Leader Jacob Mayer said, “We all had a blast. Thanks to Maggie Shook and the other leaders and parents, this trip was a great success.” Shreve’s Pumpkin Patch is open until Oct. 31; admission to the corn maze is only $5 per person, but be sure to bring your own flash lights!

Aaron Ricketts of New Harmony builds Box City According to a recent U.S. Census Bureau report, approximately one in six Americans live in poverty, and Indiana’s poverty rate is higher than the national average. Furthermore, on any given night, around 500 people in Evansville, Indiana, are homeless - living in shelters, transitional housing facilities, cars, or tents. To raise awareness of homelessness and its impact in Evansville, the United States, and the world, Aaron Ricketts of New Harmony recently participated in Box City at the University of Evansville. Ricketts is majoring in Cognitive Science. On the evening of Monday, October 3 (World Habitat Day), approximately 135 UE students built box shelters, listened to community speakers share personal stories of homelessness, and learned how local nonprofit organizations such as Habitat for

Humanity are addressing the issue. Students then had the option of spending the night in their shelters. “While participating in Box City could never give someone an accurate taste of living on the streets or being homeless, the event’s goal was to create compassion and a call to action through education and understanding,” said Calvin Wertman, event organizer and residential coordinator for UE’s Hale Hall. “The sleep-out’s true purpose was for students such as Aaron Ricketts to step outside their comfort zone, reflect on all that they have, and consider how they can help address the issue of homelessness. We hope that this event has encouraged students to make a difference by getting involved in UE’s Habitat for Humanity chapter or other community efforts to end homelessness.”

Posey County 4-H program seeks donations 4-H, the largest federally funded youth development organization in America, is led by adult volunteers who reach youth through a variety of activities and events in both rural and urban settings. 4-H helps youth improve their self-confidence; learn about various subjects; and develop important skills including leadership, citizenship, communication, budgeting, and decision-making that can be applied over a lifetime and are vital to becoming a productive citizen. Of course, the highlight of each 4-H year at the local level is the Posey County 4-H Fair, where members exhibit projects they have worked on throughout the year. For their efforts, they receive ribbons, trophies, and other awards at the county and state levels. However, the local 4-H program is more than just the 4-H Fair; it consists of workshops, club meetings, camps, and other educational activities and events that enhance children’s education in a fun, safe and hands-on learning environment. The Posey County 4-H Fair Board and 4-H Council provide leadership for the Posey County 4-H youth development program. The Fair Board is responsible for maintaining the fairgrounds and conducting the fair, and the Council provides the financial support needed to keep the non-formal, educational 4-H program for all youth in Posey County in

operation year round. Donations from the community help provide project manuals, club leaders' materials, the 4-H Handbook, trip fees, awards, and other necessary supplies to 4-H youth. Annually, the Posey County 4-H program incurs expenditures of over $15,000. The Posey County 4-H Council is collecting donations to benefit local 4-H youth programming through December for the coming year. If you are interested in financially supporting Posey County 4-H, please send your donation (made payable to “Posey County 4-H Council”) to 126 E. Third Street, Room 29, Mount Vernon, IN, 47620. If you have questions about the program or are interested in donating your time or talents in lieu of monetary support, please contact the Purdue Extension-Posey County office by calling 812-838-1331 or emailing poseyces@purdue.edu. Positive, powerful things happen when youth team with adults to learn new skills, strengthen their communities, explore the wonders of today's world, and prepare for tomorrow's challenges and opportunities. Without the support of the local community, the 4-H youth development program in Posey County would not be possible. Thank you very much for your support of this unique educational experience for our local youth.

Interns wanted for Statehouse State Sen. Jim Tomes says college upperclassmen and recent graduates can set their resumes apart by gaining unique Statehouse experiences offered through internships with the Indiana Senate Republicans. Tomes (R-Wadesville) said applications for the 2.5-month, Indianapolis-based paid internships — including legislative and communications opportunities — are available online at www.senaterepublicans. in.gov/internship.htm and due on Oct. 31. A resume, two reference letters, official transcripts and a writing sample are also required from applicants, who should have successful academic backgrounds. Interns are invited to attend the General Assembly’s ceremonial Organization Day in mid-November and officially begin their internships with orientation at the end of December.The internships last the duration of the legislative session, which by law is scheduled to end on or before March 14. “Senate interns will find their time at the Statehouse is both challenging and rewarding,” Tomes said. “From learning the legislative process to helping with constituent relations, there’s always plenty to do during this unique, real-world experience.” Legislative interns will work alongside senators and legislative assistants in responding to constituent calls, letters and e-mails, as well as staffing Senate commit-

tees and assisting with floor proceedings. Communications interns will gain practical experience in helping press secretaries prepare and distribute news releases, guest columns, letters to the editor, direct mail, enewsletters, e-invitations, Web updates, radio feeds, podcasts and video productions. According to Tomes, students should plan to live in or near Indianapolis during the internship period because of the varied work schedule. A $700 bi-weekly stipend is paid to help with expenses. Tomes said college credit for the internship varies from school to school and is determined by academic advisors. Interns often arrange correspondence or independent courses. A three credit hour state government course, conducted at the Statehouse throughout the session, is available to all interns. At the end of each year’s legislative session, Verizon Communications offers a $3,000 scholarship to the top intern from each caucus — Republican and Democrat. Additionally, each caucus awards a $1,000 scholarship in memory of longtime Senate staffer Rick Gudal. Tomes said students may contact Jennifer Carlton, intern coordinator, by email at jcarlton@iga.in.gov, for more information about internships with the Indiana Senate Republicans.

OPINION

Something for everyone is understatement at Fall Festival On the heels of this week’s Fall Festival on Evansville’s West Side, I think it is only appropriate that I should take the time this week to pay tribute to those who make this huge event possible each year. For those who don’t already know, Evansville’s Fall Festival is TRUTH... second only to Mardi Gras as STRANGER the largest outdoor festival in THAN FICTION America. My hat is off to members BY DAVE of the West Side Nut Club for PEARCE continuing a tradition that began long ago. It is an excellent opportunity for people in and around Evansville to get out of their houses, enjoy some food, and see old friends and make new ones. It is also a great opportunity for churches and other not-for-profit organizations to have a means to make a large sum of money for their organization in a short period of time. While I agree that it has to be intense, it is only for a week. And from what I have heard so far, this year’s West Side Fall Festival could put past ones in the dust with good weather and great attendance. But for myself, I went this year for the scenery. As a matter of fact, most of the time when I went to the Fall Festival, I went for the scenery. The leaves are just beginning to turn and apparently, it is just in time to bring all the nuts out. I had a ball this year just watching people. It was well worth the price of admission to see some of the sights

Guest Column

Perhaps one of the most vivid memories I have of this year’s Fall Festival was the young man and young lady I saw who were dressed in black leather. Apparently, she didn’t want her man to get too far away from her because she had him collared…yes, literally. He wore a black leather collar to accent his black leather outfit while black leather with a shiny silver chain kept her man within reach. A little different but if they are both happy with that arrangement, I’m all for it. To say there was something for everyone at this year’s fall festival would be an understatement. The variety of music, food, and fun was incredible. But again, the thing I paid attention to the most was the people. I watched as several young people walked along with things tattooed on their body parts that people once paid good money to have removed. But I am all for individual expression. Go ahead and express yourself but if you make yourself look like an idiot, don’t expect me to act like I don’t see you. Chances are I’ll be the older guy staring at you wondering what in hell you were drinking or smoking the night you allowed someone to do that to your body. One particular young man was all decked out in what appeared to me to be pink spears. Yes, they were stuck through his ears and

Jobs understood, Roseanne obviously clueless I got a double shock Thursday morning when I turned on my radio. “Steve Jobs has passed away,” I heard a DJ remark. “That’s a shame.” Yes, it is a shame. I was saddened to hear that. I was equally shocked as I turned the dial and heard something even more deadly. It was a comment from actress/comedienne Roseanne Barr, literally calling for the death of certain wealthy Americans. “I do say that I am in favor of the return of the guillotine and that is for the worst of the worst of the guilty,” said the comedienne, who did not appear to be joking. “I first would allow the guilty bankers to pay, you know, the ability to pay back anything over $100 million [of] personal wealth because I believe in a maximum wage of $100 million.” Joining her comrades in the “Occupy Wall Street” protest in Manhattan, the celebrity prattled on, pressing for a modern made-in-America version of Mao’s and Pol Pot’s re-education camps: “And if they are unable to live on that amount of that amount then they should, you know, go to the reeducation camps and if that doesn’t help, then being beheaded.” Roseanne’s Robespierre-like sentiments seemed especially cruel in light of the death of Steve Jobs. Consider: Jobs was worth billions of dollars. Would he be exempt from what the bloody French revolutionaries once termed the National Razor? Jobs was a not banker, but he was obscenely rich, which, truth be told, is the ultimate sin in the minds of Roseanne and the zealots. Sure, sure. I hear the criticism: Come on, Kengor, Roseanne Barr is a crackpot. Well, indeed, that’s apparently the case. But Roseanne’s rant against the rich seems a fitting apotheosis to the anarchical madness on display on Wall Street and elsewhere by the “Days of Rage” gang. To be sure, I doubt the marchers would be willing to escort American bankers to the chopping block. That said, they and Roseanne share some crucial, unifying commonalities. First and foremost, they are united by an utter, unhealthy contempt for wealthy people, and would be happy to take as much money from the wealthy as humanly possible. Moreover, en masse, they demonize a faceless enemy. “The rich” is a handy cari-

through his lower lip and even through his eyebrows. I can only imagine that something like that must be painful to have done but if you feel inclined to express yourself in that manner, have at it. As we approached the east end of the festival, I couldn’t help but notice the long lines at all the rides and even at the line for tickets to ride the rides. There was a time when I would have been the biggest duck in the puddle. For some of you younger people, that simply means I would have been standing in line with everyone else at a different time in my life. I still enjoy a good ride now and then but I’m not as patient with lines as I once was. But someone told me that for $17, I could get a wristband and ride all the rides I wanted all evening long. But the way I saw it, after I stood in line for 20 to 30 minutes to get the wristband and another 30 minutes to get on the ride, I would probably be just about at the end of the list of rides I would want for the night. I decided to save my money and let the younger people have all the fun. As you walk up and down the streets, you see a woman dragging around four kids, all under the age of six, yelling and screaming at them at the top of her lungs. OK lady, let’s take a logical look at this situation.You bring five kids to a place that is designed specifically to attract the attention of young children so their parents will spend money to get the things that got the attention of the children.

Then, you expect these same four children to walk quietly along with you or sit quietly in a stroller while you walk along the street eating your corndog. Something’s wrong with this picture and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the kids. I did see a few people I hadn’t seen in several years and wonder what happened to them. They have gotten wrinkled and shrunk up. I looked at them and remembered when their chest and stomachs were actually two separate body parts. Looks now like someone has fused them together and their belts are now worn somewhere near the line that once separated the two parts. Guess that happens as you get older. Sure glad it’s not happening to me. Oh, sure, I saw a few of the mullet haircuts and I saw a whole lot more ink than I remember seeing in the past but for the most part, people will be people and some will always be stranger than others. And some of them, thank goodness, will always be strangers… at least to me.I often hear folks tell others, “Don’t judge me.” Don’t you worry about that. I’ll save that for someone in a higher position. But if you choose to “express yourself” in a way that makes everyone stare at you, don’t get all stressed out when they do it. After all, “Don’t Judge Me.” On the way home, I thought of the age-old question, “What’s this world coming to.” I think I have my answer. It’s not coming to anything. It’s already there!

Sure, there are exceptions. Some get wealthy by promulgating vice instead of virtue—witness the porn industry’s parasitical attachment to Jobs’ technology industry. Some are rich because they inherited the money—witness the Kennedy family. By and large, however, “the rich” earn their riches through the consent of millions of citizens who voluntarily purchase products and service through their own free will. That is called the free market; it is the opposite of the command economy.

Gavel Gamut’s Last week Peg and I returned to my home town of Pawhuska, Oklahoma to attend my 50th high school reunion. The first event was an informal get together at the home of a classmate where he and I at age twelve had applied his dad’s self-proofed whiskey as cold medicine. As Oklahoma was legally “dry” at GAVEL that time, we were unaware that what Rich- GAMUT ard’s father had told him was a home remedy had other applications. We were “home BY JUDGE alone”, were twelve, were boys and, well, that JIM REDWINE should tell you enough. After daring one another to quell a large draught of the throat burning remedy, we wandered outside to the top of the rocky hill beside Richard’s home and then dared one another to ride Richard’s homemade go cart down to the street. I drew the short straw and got on the plywood chariot as Richard held it in place until I said, “Let ‘er go!” He did. When I reached the ditch I was traveling just under the speed of light so my mass was not infinite but my prospects for infinity were nigh. The front of the go cart rammed into the berm of the road and disintegrated into the subtraction of its parts: old Plymouth steering wheel, plywood seat and back and wire baby buggy wheels. It must have been a spectacular sight as the first thing Richard said to me as Peg and I walked into his home at the 50th reunion was, “Jim, do you remember the time you destroyed my go cart?” Gentle Reader, I hope you had the same reaction to

“You Haven’t Changed a Bit” Richard’s question I had, i.e., “To heck with your go cart, what about Jim?” Well, let me tell you. I flew off that Rube Goldberg contraption like a rodeo clown getting a lift from a Brahma bull. And it didn’t help that my stomach was at war with Richard’s dad’s cold medicine. After Richard quit laughing and I had wiped the dirt from my Levis, the blood from my nose and the food particles from my chin, he said, “Do you want to go again?” Our fathers were both elders in the First Christian Church and Sunday was only one day away. We had to come up with some explanation for my torn tee shirt and the rip in the left knee of my new Levis. The truth would not do. Also, since our mothers were close friends we knew there would be note comparing as this was only the most recent imbroglio for Richard and me. How does this sound to you? We explained that we had been trying to grease the wheels on the go cart by Richard applying the grease as I slowly turned the wheels as I sat on the seat and controlled the speed with my feet. Unfortunately, we asserted, my feet slipped in the rocks and the go cart took off. It didn’t fly with our folks either. What I found last week was that time had stood still for well over 50 years. Neither Richard nor I first asked about such mundane matters as how we had spent the last half century. It was good to be twelve again, especially since the wounds have all healed.

Pate family appreciative of community support Within minutes after calling 911, friends and family began to surround our family with concern. We have never felt more loved and cared for, as we have during these past few weeks. Words cannot express what this has meant to us and our gratitude simply cannot be put into words. As parents seeing everyone rally around our children touches our hearts for which we will be forever appreciative. So many have done so much, even those that don’t know us have supported us through prayers and contributions. We could not have made it through this without our faith and the hundreds of you that have come to us! “Thank you” is such a tiny phrase for your overwhelming love, support, and generosity. Our hearts are broken, but you are giving us the power and strength to heal. Thank you for loving us! Please keep us in your thoughts/ prayers. You are certainly in ours. Thank you. The Pate family John, Dana, Cody, Collin, Curtis

Griffin Post Office, from Page 1 to place stand-alone units, like those in apartment buildings in a church or the fire department. It would depend on which location would be willing to offer the space. The USPS would also need to approach potential locations to see if an agreement could be reached. While Mosley stated the closest post office to Griffin was Poseyville, citizens objected that New Harmony was closer. One of the biggest concerns audience members had was how senior citizens would be expected to travel to another community to get their mail. Mosley patiently explained that those who are disabled can apply for their mail to be delivered directly to their door. Others worried about their mail being stolen, but locked

GENERAL NEWS mailboxes in the village post office units can be obtained. “One thing people may not know is that a rural carrier is like a rolling post office. They can do almost everything a post office can do. You can get money orders from them, they can pick up packages, you can put your mail on hold, and you can buy stamps from them,” Mosley said. A few residents were concerned about the number of packages they mail out for their internet-based business. They were concerned that a rural carrier would not be able to handle their business volume or that they would be forced to set the boxes out by their mailbox and risk theft.

Stolen Copper Found, from Page 1 far from that location and he drove up and found it. Then the problem becomes ‘what is it and where did it come from’.” Pharr said that the department has a monitoring system for inmate phone calls. Inmates are informed of that their phone calls are being monitored when they become incarcerated. “This particular individual…I heard a loud noise coming from our inmate phone booth,” Pharr said of the conversation regarding the copper. “I went up to see what was going on and he was in there banging on the counter, apparently upset with his phone conversation. So I just felt like ‘Hey, I probably need to listen to that.’ I heard him talk about copper hid behind a barn. And with all this copper thieving going on, I thought we had hit on that. I told the sheriff and he acted immediately on this. And it turned out to be what it was. I thank the Lord that we were able to solve something. It was somebody’s property…four thousand dollars worth and that is what we are here to do.” Oeth and Latham then went on to share that they checked area theft reports and found that Alcan Company, just south of Henderson, had reported to the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department that the copper was missing. Scrap copper right now is worth around

Mosley responded that a rural carrier is required to pick up any number of packages that are requested by its customers if the postage has already been paid for and printed out and affixed to the package. A request for carrier pick up can also be completed online. Another concern was the timely delivery of mail-order medicines. “We don’t have refrigerators on our trucks or vehicles and we don’t have refrigerators in our offices, so these companies must already plan for this when they ship the medicine out. The delivery time won’t be any different than it is now,” she said. Since the Griffin Post Office ‘s fate is still being studied, Mosley encouraged citizens to

send letters and comments on forms that are available in the post office. The comments will be taken into consideration when a decision is made. The next step in the process is for the study information to be collected and a proposal will be made regarding whether the post office should be closed or not. The district manager will then make a determination as to whether he agrees with the study’s findings or not. Finally, the postal regulatory commission (PRC) will make the final decision on the post office’s fate. The PRC is a five-member board of individuals who were appointed by the President of the United States. Appeals can be made regarding their decision within a 30-day time span.

County Commissioners, from Page 1 $4 per pound so this discovery was about $4000 in crap metal. “On first inspection of this, it is very uncharacteristic of here in Posey County,” Oeth said. “We found out that there was a guy who had been working on the premises at Alcan and had been released from employment. After he had been released, the company started looking and found they were missing this material.” “This guy…we are just beating him up,” Oeth said of Detective Latham. “I wish we had three full-time investigators. We definitely need them. Tom is working almost three shifts, works through two and into the third shift and then coming out the next morning and working a burglary.” Latham was working on a residential burglary in Cynthiana when he received the call regarding the copper. Latham commented this was the third burglary with the same M.O. (Method of Operation). There is a suspect in the burglaries but no arrest has been made. Oeth said his department is currently working with the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department. “We can file charges here of possession of stolen property,” Oeth said. “Then they can file charges on their side of the river for the actual theft.”

need to be obtained regarding this company and their intentions before any agreement is signed. In other business, the commissioners heard: •A report from Jim Heck, the Grow Southwest Indiana Workforce Representative, regarding the need for rent-free office space to continue providing services to the area. Heck explained that funding has been cut and they hope to continue services but may have to do so with a reduction in staff and the number of days or hours they are here in Posey County. Heck asked the commissioners to relay any possible leads on shared office space that might be available to them. Heck extended an invitation to the commissioners to attend the annual meeting on October 28, at Vincennes University. A report of the fiscal year ending June 30, will show the amount of money and what services were provided in each county. He also stated that a new agreement will need to be signed following the mayoral race in Mt. Vernon. Currently, Mayor Tucker serves as the chief elected official for the entity. •A request by Purdue University student Scott Peters to utilitze the GIS system. Commissioners discussed whether a fee to utilize the system as well as a limited use agreement would be necessary. They decided to table the decision until an agreement is signed. They will also need to determine if the fees can be waived since Peters is not going to use the system to earn a profit. •A discussion regarding the possible sale of 61 parcels of property that could be for sale as early as January. A representative from a company called SRI, gave a presentation to commissioners earlier this year in

which they could sell these properties that are delinquent in more than $400,000 in taxes. The commissioners debated whether to agree to a live sale or Internet sale. Commissioner Jim Alsop expressed concern over limiting the sale to a live auction which could reduce the number of bidders who could be present at the sale. An Internet sale could net a wider audience. The discussion also included how the county could process the payments if an Internet auction were held. •Sheriff Greg Oeth informed the commissioners about missed revenue due to an unsigned agreement for electronic accident reporting. Oeth stated the agreement should have been signed in 2009 and since it wasn’t, the department has been missing out on approximately $8 per electronic report request. Once signed, the agreement can be revoked at any time and there is no cost to the county to enter the agreement. The commissioners agreed to sign the agreement at the next meeting. •Alsop discussed the need for certain positions to be filled on the Emergency Medical Services Committee. Positions included a nurse practioner, registered nurse, CPA, attorney and a representative from the business community. •Alsop felt a need to plan a meeting between White County, the Indiana Department of Transportation, the State of Illinois and Posey County officials to discuss the fate of the Wabash bridge. The commissioners are uneasy about a previous INDOT presentation in which the state proposed a plan for Posey County to take over 35 miles of state road. A public meeting will be planned. The next Posey County Commissioners meeting will be held Tuesday, October 18, at 9 a.m.

He said that Indiana government needs to take the position of “fixing” the education system instead of doing away with it. “There are a lot of good teachers but every once in a while, there is a bad pickle in the barrel,” Gregg said. Gregg said he favored weeding out those “bad pickles” with a “one time” policy. If it was determined that they are not good teachers, they should be forced to look at another career. Gregg went on to say that some 46,000 kids in and around Marion County “will go to bed hungry tonight,” emphasizing that these are the kinds of problems that Indiana’s government should be addressing. Gregg served eight terms in the Indiana House with six consecutive years as Speaker. He left office voluntarily in 2002 and served as president of Vincennes University for 2003 to 2004. “If I am elected, we will govern from the bottom up,” Gregg said. “I’ve never had much positive come out of the ‘trickle down’ thing. If you govern from the bottom up, everyone gets a voice.” Former Mount Vernon Mayor Jackson Higgins was the Master of Ceremonies while County Democratic Chairman David Butler introduced the speaker and vicechair Bambi Deig introduced the Democratic candidates following the speaker. Gregg joked that Mount Vernon is the only city in indiana ever to give hmi a “Key to the City.” Upcoming Democratic events include a City Rally on October 13 in Mount Vernon prior to the November 8 election. A Democratic Women’s Club event is scheduled in Mount Vernon for November 17 and a Christmas Party on December 6 is being planned in New Harmony.

Vikings past, present, and future unite for 60-0 victory

VPL145657_Mount_Vernon_GO_Banner_em2.indd 1

9/28/11 4:56 PM

Vikings draw Mater Dei in sectional first round By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings, past, present and future, were all in the spotlight Friday night as two North Posey class reunions made the 60-0 Viking a part of their weekend activities. That was Vikings past. Vikings present started their scoring with only three minutes gone in the opening period and opened up a 46-0 half-time lead. Vikings future took over in the second half and with a running clock tacked on two more touchdowns and held hapless Tecumseh scoreless as the Vikings moved to 7-1 on the year. But as Viking fans learned early in the sectional draw on Sunday afternoon, it will take all that and more in the opening round of the sectional tournament in two weeks as the Vikings drew the fortune of hosting Class 2A’s top-ranked Mater Dei Wildcats in the opening round of the sectional. But first things first. The Vikings first got on the scoreboard with Colton Martin broke loose for a 21yard run to put the Vikings on the board. A rare missed extra point left the team ahead 6-0 just three minutes into the game. But it didn’t take long for the Vikings to strike again. Just a little over four minutes later, North Posey’s Wes Harness appeared to be stopped at the line of scrimmage but his legs kept churning and when the mass cleared, Harness came out of the pile and moved on into

the end zone from 44 yards out and the Vikings were ahead 12-0. But again, pesky Tecumseh put up a fight and the Vikings could not convert the 2-point attempt and the Vikings led 12-0. On the next drive, the Viking defense again stepped up big and on a Tecumseh first-and-10 from their own 40, Chris O’Risky got through the Tecumseh line and dropped a speedy Tecumseh quarterback eight yards behind the line of scrimmage and the Braves could muster no more offense in the first period. The Vikings were moving the ball well when until the last play of the first period when the Tecumseh defense stopped Harness for a loss on third-and-5 as the quarter clock ran out. But with the ball resting on the Tecumseh 22 and the Vikings with a lead and little to lose, quarterback Colton Motz handed the ball to the reliable Harness on fourthand-5 and was brought down at the 16, enough for a Viking first down. That was just about it for the Braves. On first down, Motz completed a pass to Nick Neidig who juked and danced his way around defenders and wound up in the end zone and just like that, with Neidig’s extra point kick, the Vikings were ahead 19-0 and the rout was on. The Braves mounted perhaps their biggest threat of the night when they got the ball to the Viking 11 but the defense held and the field goal attempt went wide and

the Vikings took over again on their own 20. On third-and-10 after a pair of incomplete passes, Motz hit Neidig for a 19yard gain and Harness took the ball 25 yards on the next play. This drive was credited to the air, however, as Motz hit Neidig who went up between a pair of Tecumseh defenders to haul in the touchdown pass and the Vikings led 26-0. After the Vikings held the Braves to three-and-out, Jacob Bender’s apparent punt return for a touchdown was called back on a penalty. But on a second chance, Motz hit the striding Bender on the first play from scrimmage and the senior carried the ball 46 yards for the score. Then, with 2:21 remaining in the half, it would be Harness who would again get away with a 51-yard run and the Vikings were ahead 39-0. With less than a minute showing on the first-half clock Alec Werry had the presence of mind to pick up a fumbled Tecumseh lateral and carry it in from 20 yards out to give the Vikings their 46-0 half-time cushion. “Our kids played pretty hard tonight,” North Posey Coach Carl “Joe” Gengelbach said. “They have gone through a stretch of games that were very physical and emotionally draining. We challenged them all week to work to make themselves better and I think they have done that. They have been practicing with a purpose. We made a couple of errors but that’s going to happen.

The final score of the night came when Darrin O’Risky got in from one yard out after Eric O’Risky and Dylan Wright set up the touchdown run on big gainers of their own. The Vikings finished with 354 yards on the ground and 160 in the air for 514

he continues to improve his kicking game. On the only kick-off return of the game for the Vikings, Bender ran for 20 yards. “Our young kids played hard and played well,” Gengelbach said of his team. “They moved the ball offensively and they got some defensive stops when they needed to. Some things Tecumseh did caused our young kids a few problems. But Tecumseh is a very young team and they are going to get better. Their coach has done a great job of keeping them hanging in there together and they have a bright future. They have some good speed.” Gengelbach concluded by saying he asks his kids to go out and give it their best effort regardless of who they are playing so he was happy with their effort. Defensively, there were plenty of tackles to go around as Martin had four solo tackles while Cody Voelker, Neidig, and Voegel had three apiece. Austin Little, Harness, and Alex Goebel each had a pair while Kurt Seibert, Mitchell Kuhn, Bender, C. O’Risky, Jamon Tapp, Aaron Droste, D. O’Roisky, E. O’Risky, Cody Devine, Jared Hostettler, Dylan Wright, Trey Staples, Zack Wargel, and even kicker Jace Gentil were all credited with solo tackles. C. O’Risky, Neidig, Harness, and Martin were credited with tackles for losses while Seibert assisted on five tackles. But in typical Gengelbach fashion, the Vikings will be back at work this week working to maintain the effort they have received. They have themselves in a position to play for a share of the conference title and to do that, they will have to win on the road Friday night in Petersburg against the Pike Central Chargers. Game-time in Petersburg will be 7 p.m.

Wildcats take down Tigers, 61-27 By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon football team took an early lead in Friday’s game with Princeton, broke a tie and then scored early and often. The Wildcats scored in just about every way imaginable, racking up 34 unanswered points in the first half while rolling over the Tigers 61-27 in their homecoming game. Craig Isaac completed only two passes, but both of them were for touchdowns, while the Cats brought back a pair of intercepted passes for touchdowns as Mount Vernon stormed past the Tigers. But despite the onesided win, coach Paul Maier was somewhat impressed with the Gibson County school. “Princeton’s a young team,” Maier said. “They’re struggling a bit because they have so much youth, but to be honest, I was impressed with their team. They had some big kids, they had some kids who played physical. I thought their backs ran hard and did a nice job. If they stay together, I’d hate to see these guys when they’re all seniors.” Indeed Princeton showed some offensive numbers that believe the team’s winless record so far this season and the 26-game losing streak stretching over the previous three campaigns. The Tigers outgained the Wildcats 442402 in total offensive yards, while quarterback Colton Wilder completed 19 of 27 passes for 252 yards and three touchdowns. Of course, Wilder also tossed a couple of passes that they guy in the maroon jerseys brought back for touchdowns, too. Ethan VanZant had one of those pick-sixes, to go along with a rushing score. It seemed rather simple at first, as the Cats marched down the field for the first score of the night, with a

five-play drive that included ass first downs (a sixth was negated by an encroachment penalty) and culminated in an 11-yard Isaac pass to Tyler Ritzert. Nick Theodosis added the extra point, and Mount Vernon led 7-0. But then the Tigers came back, as Wilder connected with Austin Clark and the sophomore tight end took the ball 44 yards for a touchdown, tying the game 7-7 on the Michael Kermode kick with 5:25 left in the first quarter. While it took the Cats less than 90 seconds to score their first touchdown, they needed a little more time to answer the Tigers, as the ate up all but the last 59.1 seconds of the period to move 61 yards in a drive which Craig Dick capped with a six-yard run. Theodosis’ kick made it 14-7 and wrapped up the scoring for the first half, right? Wrong. On Princeton’s second play from scrimmage on the Tigers’ next drive, Ethan VanZant stepped in front of a Wilder pass, picked it off and loped unopposed to the end zone for the third touchdown of the quarter, starting the lead to 21-7 at the quarter break. The Cats were just warming up, or so it seemed. Less than two minutes into the second quarter, Ritzert picked off a pass and went 35 yards the other way to make it 28-7 with the Theodosis kick. “They had a couple of turnovers that were pretty costly to them,” Maier said. “When you throw a ball and it’s returned the other way for a touchdown, that can be a back-breaker. It hurt them too, back-to-back series where they had interceptions returned for touchdowns kind of took the wind out of their sails.” The Wildcats held Princeton defensively and got the ball back long enough

for Isaac to find Kyle Smith from 44 yards out. The point-after made it 35-7 and before the two teams headed for the locker room at halftime, Mount Vernon had added two more scores and led 48-7 at halftime on touchdown runs of 19 yards from River VanZant and 15 from J. T. Silvers. “Offensively, we were able to do a lot of things tonight,” Maier said. “Defensively, I felt we could have come up with a few more stops. I don’t think our special teams did particularly well (The Cats didn’t score on a kickoff or punt return, by the way), but all in all, a win’s a win.” The defense started having trouble in the second half, as the Tigers took the opening kickoff 69 yards for a touchdown, with Deon Hardiman taking the ball in from 10 yards out with 8:40 left in the period. Ethan VanZant’s second score of the night came from four yards out with 3:36 left in the third quarter and stitched the lead to 55-14 before Jon Hoehn closed out the scoring with a 25-yard run eight seconds into the fourth quarter. Wilder and Trev Nash scored a pair of fourthquarter touchdowns for the Tigers, first on an eight-yard strike with 9:50 to go and then on an 85-yard play with 5:16 to go. The win gave Mount Vernon a 3-5 record on the season, 2-3 in the Big Eight Conference heading into this week’s regular season finale at Jasper. “Offensively, all of our guys who touched the ball did fairly well,” Maier said. “I thought our line did a nice job, we were able to put a lot of our younger guys in and get them some significant time on the field to help us evaluate things for the future and get them some experience.”

The Posey County Democrats are proud of our slate of candidates for the upcoming city election for the City of Mount Vernon.

Wildcats bow out to top-ranked Tigers By Steve Joos For a while, the Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team gave Memorial a fight defensively. The Wildcats held the state-ranked Tigers scoreless for the first 16 minutes of last week’s Class 2A Sectional opener, but once the Tigers broke the ice, things got away from the Wildcats. Jace Jarboe and Ralph Payne scored two goals apiece as the Tigers rolled over the Cats 9-0 in the first game of the postseason at the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation fields. Sam Luebe added a goal and two assists, while Jarboe added an assist in the Tigers’ win. “Memorial’s good every year,” Mount Vernon coach Travis Kaiser said. “Their speed of play, their ball movement, they’re quick on the ball, they’re quick off the ball. They played a great game. We did the best we could on the field, there’s nothing to hold do but take our hats off to them. They’re a good team.” That talent level kept the Cats off their heels and kept them from getting much started on the offensive third of the field. The Tigers had moments where Mount Vernon’s pressure cost them the ball, but mostly the Cats struggled with the Memorial offense. “We showed flashes,” Kaiser said. “Two or three passes here, two or three passes there, we moved the ball around, which was an improvement over our last game. This game, we looked to drop the ball, move the ball behind and we tried a few combinations and that was pleasing.” The Cats also did a better job of challenging the ball, especially in the second half. Mount Vernon was able to keep the Tigers off the scoreboard until Michael Vieth scored off the first of Michael Valmer’s two assists with 24 minutes to go

Nine minutes later, Jarboe scored his first goal of the night and it was 2-0 Memorial. Three more goals in the last 10 minutes, including Payne’s first score of the evening, start etched the lead to 5-0 at halftime. Despite the Wildcats’ improved defensive efforts, Vinny Bonanao scored less than a minute into the

second half and Michael Reidford connected nearly five minutes later to put the Tigers up 7-0. Goals by Payne and Jarboe closed thing s out for Memorial. The loss ended Mount Vernon’s season at 1-14-1. “We have to take all the positives we can out of the season,” Kaiser said. “Forget about the negatives.

Take what’s happened and move forward.” Kaiser went on to say that the returning players needed to find a spring or indoor travel team and work on their skills and that it was important to work on the sport year-round. That’s how Memorial does it and the results were obvious in Sectional opener.

Lady Wildcats sweep to Castle Invite title

Cats put three on All-Big Eight team Three Mount Vernon runners have earned spots on the AllBig Eight Conference boys’ and girls’ cross-country teams. Sean Ritzert and Ryan Dick represented Mount Vernon on the All-Big Eight boys’ team, while freshman Toni Waddell was the Lady Wildcat on the girls’ honor squad. All three runners were key parts of both Mount Vernon teams, each of whom finished second to Jasper in their respective races. There were three Jasper runners on the boys’ team, including Evan Fraser, Nick Mehringer and Nickolas Hilgedieck. Washington also had two selections in K.C. Heller and Austin Gray. Rounding out the team were Mount Carmel’s Travis Thompson, Princeton’s Will Neiderhaus, Jesse Stanley of Boonville and Dakota Mercer Sozadry of Vincennes. Jasper also had three All-Big Eight girls’ picks, including Shelby Mullen, Reagan Foote and Haley Hildenbrand. Washington, Mount Carmel and Boonville each had two picks. Representing the Lady Hatchets were Madison Decker and Chloe Heller, while Tyra Buss and Elise Thompson were the all-conference Lady Aces. Emily Edwards-Burkes and Kate Hendrickson represent the Lady Pioneers.

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernnon volleyball team had a good week last week and they capped it with three big wins Saturday. The Lady Wildcats swept the Castle Invitational on Saturday, beating Owensboro Apollo 25-16, 25-23, Southridge 25-15, 25-11 and the host Lady Knights 20-25, 25-23, 15-9. “We were excited about competing at Castle.” coach Andi Allford said. “We came in with our game faces on, we were ready to play and we played three good games against strong competition.” Fatigue had set in a bit for the third set, but Allford wasn’t using that as an excuse for her team, which had a strong serve-receive all day which set up the Mount Vernon offense. “All around, we had a good day,” the coach said. “We were able to receive their serves and get it over to the setter. Meagan Martin, our setter, has been a key player all season.” Winning the tourney could help the team’s confidence heading into the stretch derive and the postseason. The week got off to a late start, but the Lady Cats made up for that with a 25-7, 2518, 25-6 victory Thursday night at North. “The girls looked really good at North,” Allford said. “We looked really solid.” Martin had 33 assists against the Lady Huskies, while Meagan Montgomery added a block and 10 digs.

party set in New Harmony Wildcats bow out at Regional Halloween There will be a Halloween party for children on WednesBy Steve Joos The Mount Vernon Wildcats’ first trip beyond the Sectional in five years came to abrupt halt Tuesday as the tennis Wildcats dropped a 4-1 decision to Gibson Southern in Evansville Regional action at the Tri-State Athletic Club. Third singles was the lone bright spot of Mount Vernon, as Todd Scheffer was a 6-1, 6-3 winner over the Titans’ Ryan Dunlap. The Cats gave the Titans a battle at second doubles, where Hunter Wilson and Curt Crabtree forced Josh Gifford and Sam Gruebel to three sets before falling 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, but after that, the Wildcats ran into some strong competition, including a pair of then-undefeated players at the top spots. Freshman Cody Mann raised his record to 20-0 on the year by taking down Ross Canada 6-2, 6-2 at second singles for Gibson Southern’s first win of the night. After Cameron Allen and Bradley Wilzbacher dispatched Layton Hopper and Seth Reeves 6-4, 6-1, at first doubles, another unbeaten Titan, Trent Wallace, shook off an early 3-1 deficit to pull out a 6-4, 6-3 win over Jevin Redman at first singles. The Titans were whitewashed by Castle 5-0 in the title meet on Thursday. Mount Vernon closed out its season with a 21-6 record in dual meets.

By Steve Joos On the surface, Tuesday’s North Posey Class A Sectional girls’ soccer game wasn’t much of one. Ali Will and Paige Neimeier each scored two goals as the Mater Dei Lady Wildcats shut out the Lady Vikings 6-0. Mater Dei coach Bob Shorenstein has a different take on the game, however. “I thought the North Posey goalie was outstanding,” Scheonstein said. “I thought she kept them in the game. In the first half, they did a nice job of defending which got us a little frustrated.” Lady Vikings keeper Mallory Schmitt was able to keep Mater Dei at bay despite some good shots in the early going. Eventually, the Lady Wildcats were able to connect on a few shots and

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ soccer team entered last week’s Class 2A Sectional game knowing they were up against a formidable force in Memorial, but they were hoping they could be that Cinderella story where a little-know team rises up to knock off a powerhouse. That didn’t happen. Lisha Murphy and Grace Lackoweki each scored three goals, while Kristen Loehr added another two to pace the Lady Tigers in their 11-0 romp over the Lady Wildcats at the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporations fields. “We hoped to be that Cinderella story you read about and hear about,” coach Liz Castle said. “But the chips didn’t fall our way. We played a team that was really good. A team that plays well and passes the ball well.” The Lady Cats had an athletic team with a good balance of girls that played different sports throughout the year, but they were up against a team that has been playing the sport for years and plays it year-round. “It’s always hard to go out losing 11-0,” Castle said. “It wasn’t even a close game. We had moments where we just pieced it all together and we played really, really well. I saw signs where it looked like the Boonville game or the Vincennes game, but then there were times when we lacked the simple things to do.”

Things like pressuring the ball and going full speed in order to keep the other team from getting the ball downfield were the ones that helped beat the Lady Cats, who had trouble stopping the soccer-only Lady Tigers almost from the outset. It only took five minutes for Memorial to get on the scoreboard, as McKenzie Reynolds knocked one in. Six minutes later, Loehr started her bombardment to put Memorial up 2-0, and then Murphy’s first goal of the night made 3-0 with 27 minutes left in the first half. Four more goals over the remainder of the opening period sent the Lady Tigers to the sidelines with a 7-0 bulge at the intermission. Lowecki’s second goal of the night started things off for Memorial in the second half as the Lady Tigers booted in four more goal, with Lowecki putting a cap on the scoring with 8:59 to go in the game. The loss dropped Mount Vernon to 8-8 on the season, 2-3 for fourth place in the Big Eight conference. “Our seniors leave some big holes for us to fill,” Castle said. “I’m just hoping that some players will step up and fill in. We’ve had a good season and this was an enjoyable group of girls to wrok with” Unfortunately, they were up against an undefeated team of soccer players from birth. By the way, did we mention that the Lady Tigers came into the Sectional undefeated in 14 games?
