Huber enjoys trip of a lifetime

By Pam Robinson New Harmony sixth grader Trey Huber paid a rare visit to his class on Thursday, September 23, to share photos and information and souvenirs from his recent Grand Canyon trip—a wish granted by Evansville’s Wish Upon A Star organization. The community celebrated as the 11-year-old and his parents, Kevin and Tonya, left from New Harmony School in a limousine for Evansville’s Dress Regional Airport on Monday, September 13, headed to Grand Canyon Resort, where they stayed until the following Sunday, September 19.

Trey reported on his three major activities during his week-long stay at the Grand Canyon: the desert view from a glass enclosed tower along the canyon rim, a two-hour horseback riding excursion at the resort, and a day-long safari in nearby Camp Verde, Ariz. Although he had emailed photos and Skyped his classmates and homebound teacher, Rita Reynolds, during his trip, they listened attentively as he described climate and canyon, landforms and lizards. He ended his presentation by giving each of his classmates a rock from the area

and his teacher a rock keychain.

Reynolds offers cutting edge education year-round through Skype and email to Trey, whose condition causes him to tire easily and to be susceptible to infection. Diagnosed with common variable immune deficiency, or CVID, in spring this year, Trey’s body doesn’t make antibodies. His mom Tonya says, for example, just a day at by the pool exhausts him. His fatigue prevented him from making the trek down into the Grand Canyon. Still, he delighted in spotting the Colorado River looking like a snake from an observation tower and in his brief night-time jeep ride around the rim.

Likewise, he enjoyed his horseback outing, but it paled in comparison to the Camp Verde safari. Trey fed white tigers, laughed when Chili Pepper the ostrich nibbled at his mom’s pants and marveled at Boom Boom the rhinoceros, his favorite animal on the safari.

As a VIP guest, he even ate lunch with select animals, including goats in a pen next to him

New Harmony hopeful for grant

By Pam Robinson New Harmony community leaders and residents turned out in full support on Monday, October 4, for the second public hearing regarding the grant application for the proposed new fire and emergency medical services station. The application will be submitted to the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, or OCRA, on October 22. Grant award announcements will be made December 10.

New Harmony residents are encouraged to send letters of support for the grant application

by October 19 to New Harmony Clerk-Treasurer Karla Atkins at P.O. Box 340, New Harmony, Ind. 47631.

The application is the second New Harmony has submitted to ask for funding of the fire and emergency medical services station. If successful, the Town will receive $500,000 from OCRA and will supply $146,700 in matching funds for a total project cost of $646,700. According to documents distributed at the hearing, all of the $500,000 grant will be used for construction costs. The $146,700 matching funds will be used as follows: $54,800 for constructions costs; $46,900 for professional fees; $5,000 for labor

On October 5, 2010, a Mount Vernon man was sentenced in Clark Superior Court.

Judge Vicki L. Carmichael conducted a sentencing hearing in the Clark Superior Court. She considered letters from the David family and from Lisa Kershaw, On November 21, 2009, officers responded to 420 Coronado, Mount Vernon, Indiana. Officers found the body of Jon David on the floor of the master bedroom. Lisa Kershaw was interviewed.

She related that her ex-husband Lee Kershaw had entered the home in the early morning hours and opened fire. The weapon was later determined to be SKS Rifle. Five shots were fired into the bed and headboard. Taylor Rogers, Kershaw’s 17year- old-son, was present in the home at the time of the shooting.

Lee Kershaw fled the jurisdiction eventually going to Acapulco, Mexico. He turned himself into authorities and was transported to Phoenix Arizona where he made a confession to the police regarding the shooting.

The case was transferred to the Clark County Superior Court, Judge Carmichael, due to pre-trial publicity.

Kershaw was charged with Murder and Attempted Murder. Murder has a possible range of penalties from 45 to 65 years with an advisory sentence of 55 years. Attempted Murder has a penalty range of from 20 to 50 years.

Defense counsel offered several reports from Dr. Louis Cady during the progression of the case, asking for additional mental health testing.

On August 24, 2010, Kershaw pled guilty to Voluntary Manslaughter and Attempted Voluntary Manslaughter. Both crimes have a possible penalty range of 20 to 50 years with an advisory sentence of 30 years.

William Gooden, defense counsel, argued for a mitigated sentence and concutent time.

He listed the statutory mitigators which he believed applied in the case. He also quoted extensively from reports prepared by Dr. Cady.

Jodi Uebelhack, Prosecutor, provided the Court with a Sentencing Recommendation listing the aggravators and mitigators that applied in the case.

The State requested an advisory sentence of thirty years for each crime. The State argued that those sentences should run consecutive due to multiple victims. The State noted that Mr. Kershaw’s mental health status was considered at the time the State agreed to pleas to Voluntary Manslaughter and not Murder. Kershaw should not be entitled to additional mitigation for his psychiatric disorder.

Judge Carmichael cited that a child under the age of 18 was present in the home at the time of the crime as an aggravating factor. She found that Kershaw’s lack of a prior criminal record was a mitigator. She found that they balanced each other out and sentenced Kershaw to the advisory sentence of thirty years for each count. She found on the record that his mental health status was not entitled to any further mitigation because it was taken into account in the plea negotiation. Judge Carmichael ordered the sentences to run consecutive for a total of 60 years due to multiple victims.

Chili cook-off set New Harmony Parks, Recreation and Tree Board is stirring up competition with its Chili Cook-Off and Arbor Day celebration Saturday afternoon, October 16, in Murphy Park. Nine local teams have signed on to dice, spice and serve home-made chili for the Parks Board’s fundraising event.

standards; $2,000 for environmental review; and $38,000 for administration. The $146,700 in matching funds will be provided by the Town General Funds ($133,200) and by the Posey County Community Foundation ($13,500).

Debbie Bennett-Stearsman of the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana facilitated the hearing, opening the floor first to Bud Erny of Erny & Associates, P.C., the Vincennes architect for the project. Then, she held the microphone for each supporter to speak, ensuring all comments would be heard for the record. The minutes of the hearing as well as the entire application for OCRA will be available on October 22 at New Harmony Town Hall.

Erny discussed the floor plan for the proposed steel frame structure. The fire and ambulance station is, he said, almost a cube, measuring 82 x 80 with a total of 6,560 sq. ft. He explained that 4,388 sq. ft. will be used for apparatus and will feature three drive-through bays. The administrative area will be 26x82, with two separate entrances for fire and emergency medical person-

CHURC CHURCH HUR H

First UMC Harvest Dinner set

By Pam Robinson This Saturday, October 16, First United Methodist Church, located at 601 Main Street in Mount Vernon, will host its Harvest Dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. in Wesley Hall. Carryouts start at 4:30 p.m. The dinner features glazed pork tenderloin, twice baked potato, glazed apples, green beans, slaw and roll, assorted desserts and choice of lemonade, tea or coffee. Entertainment will be provided by Wolfgang Dixieland Band.

Cost for adults is $8; children 3 through 10, $3.50; ages 2 and under, free. Advance ticket purchases may be made in the church foyer from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Door prizes and crafts will be available, but the central fundraising event is the silent auction, featuring the pottery of longtime church member and local artist Robert Berridge. A University of Evansville student on an athletic scholarship, Berridge switched from a mathematics major with an art minor to an education major earning mathematics and art endorsements once he met and fell in love with UE education major Lonna Davis in spring 1971.

The two were married following their first year of teaching in June 1974.

Berridge taught from 1973 to 1998 at Cas-

Family Fair set for October 16 Fair Haven Christ Fellowship of Cynthiana will be having their annual Family Fair on Saturday, October 16 from 10 am till 2 p.m. at the new church location on Hwy 68 W of Cynthiana.

tle, North Posey and finally for 16 years at Evansville Day School. Under the tutelage of his mother, he developed early on as a portrait artist. His study with UE Art Department Chair Les Miley created his new desire to work in clay and produce three-dimensional art.

“Playing in the mud is our first language,” Berridge says he used to tell his students. Berridge’s play yields astonishing results in classic form. Perhaps most astonishing is discovering he could still make pottery since stopping in 1998. Just recently, he took his seat at the potter’s wheel again and found it was “like riding a bike.” He never forgot his art.

North Posey High School art teacher and friend David Rodenberg receives credit for helping Berridge to renew his interest in ceramics. Not only did Rodenberg lend an electric potter’s wheel and give Berridge clay, but he also glazed and fired Berridge’s pieces.

Already, there are 19 bidders for the 13 pieces of finely crafted ceramics, and bidding continues through the evening of October 16.

All proceeds from the silent auction will benefit four international missions supported through First United Methodist Church. Each of the winning bidders will choose which one of the four to receive his or her funds.

Sermon of the Week: Increase Our Faith Rev. Sean Esterline of Messiah Lutheran Church Luke 17:5 -- “The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’”

So often in the Bible, it’s the short verses like this one that have so much to say to us about our faith and our true relationship with God in Christ Jesus. Look at Luke 17:5 for example. What does that verse tell us about our faith and our abilities to make decisions for Christ or accept Him as our Savior? Or, to put it another way: If faith is something that we can do out of love for God, then why did the apostles ask Jesus for more of it? Couldn’t they have simply strengthened their own faith by doing more “good works” or something like that? No, this short Bible verse with it’s seemingly simple request helps us understand and rebuke a very common misconception of faith.

By these three little words, “increase our faith!” we see that our personal faith in Jesus as our Savior is itself truly “a gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:9) This biblical understanding of our gift of faith allows us to fully comprehend why Jesus seemingly ignores His disciples’ request when He responds in Luke 17:6 by saying, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.” Jesus points out that even the smallest speck of faith is capable of seemingly impossible things. Je-

sus is telling His followers that strength of faith is more about quality of faith instead of quantity. The disciples understood that we don’t strengthen our faith by what we do, it is Jesus who strengthens our faith by feeding us with His Word.

To understand that, just look at what caused the apostles to make this request of Jesus in the first place. In the previous verses, Luke 17:1-4, Jesus commanded His followers to: resist the temptation to sin, avoid leading others astray by your sin, rebuke those who sin, repent when you sin, and forgive all those who repent every time they repent. Jesus even warned the disciples about the consequences of sinning when He said, “it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.” (Luke 17:2) Our Lord warns us that this is serious stuff. We should do everything in our power to avoid sinning or leading others into sin. From the start He also warns us that it’s unavoidable--it’s going to happen--we are going to sin and cause others to fail as well. (“Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!” - Luke 17:1) The disciples understand what Jesus is telling them--He expects them not to sin, but also tells them that they can’t avoid sinning. This is why they cry out, “Increase our faith!” The problem now is that they mistakenly believe that if their faith is just a little stronger, then they think they will be able to do

all these things that Jesus commands. They think eventually they’ll be able to avoid sinning altogether. Jesus, however, shows them that they’re wrong.

In Luke 17:7-10, Jesus answers their cry for help--but not in the way they expect. He reminds His followers, and us, that even if we were able to keep all of His commandments perfectly--if we do everything right--we’re still only to the point where we’re doing what we’re supposed to do from the beginning. Our performance is finally merely satisfactory in God’s sight… even then we’re still just “unworthy servants” who have “only done what was our duty.”

The simple, biblical truth that Jesus teaches is that God gives us faith in Jesus and saves us by His loving mercy and because of His promise to us. We are not owed salvation because of the value of our good works. We are given salvation as a free gift of faith in Jesus Christ our Savior.

Now, what you do with that gift of faith afterwards is up to you; but the good works that you do out of faith in Christ aren’t done to try to earn heaven - that’s impossible. No, they’re done because you understand that thanks to God’s gift of faith in Jesus you’ve already got heaven and you want to give thanks to God, the Source of your faith and strength.

You live your life of faith by doing good works and giving thanks to the One who forgives all your sins--in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

I was surprised to hear that my only son, Billy Ray had been taken to St. Mary’s Hospital Tuesday morning, October 5 for a checkup and was found to have two arteries in bad conditions. One was 100% blocked and the other was 80% blocked.

He stayed the night at the hospital and had open heart surgery at 6:00a Wednesday. Norma Sue and all of his children were there and three of my daughters were there during surgery. As of Sunday night he was improved after a fever on Saturday.

If things go well he should be home about Wednesday. Our prayers are for a complete recovery.

My nephew Doris E. Butler had open heart surgery in December 1988 when he was about 58 years and 8 months old. I had open heart surgery February 6, 1989, after having a heart attack on January 31, on my granddaughter Jaley’s fifth birthday at her party. I was 75 years and 8 months old. Billy Ray was 68 years and 2 months old when he had his surgery. However, Billy did not have a heart attack, but could have easily had one had he not had the surgery. Kenny Davis, of North of Poseyville was in the hospital with open heart surgery at the same time as I was. So far as I know he is still doing well.

Heart attacks and cancer are the two most common causes of death, so it is important to keep a close check on both.

Elsewhere, my daughter Janet in Oklahoma called me to see how I was getting along and she is very good to keep in touch with me.

Tuesday, September 28, I went to Owensville to see my sister-in-law Lorena Wilder and we went to Ft. Branch for the evening meal.

My daughter Janet called me Wednesday, September 29.

They are all doing well. It was Thursday, September 30 that Billy Ray was here for a brief visit. Also, on this day, Frankie and Sue Mauck from Venice, FL had called to tell me they had sold their home of 23 years in Venice, FL and are moving into a condominium there in Venice as he is trying to cut down on some activities such as lawn care and minor house repairs. We wish them well. They are my brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Janet called me both Friday and Saturday. They are all well there in Coweta.

I was invited Friday, October 1 to come to Farmersville School to talk to the elementary school students about my long life and all the changes that have occurred. Judith Thompson, my daughter, is one of the teachers there. We had a great time and I have been asked now to go back soon and show my puzzles and tricks at another meeting. After being there, I went on to Bill and Judith’s home where several of our families met to eat and visit.

Sunday, I was in church at Poseyville Christian and then went home for dinner and in the afternoon I got a call from Janet. I also got a phone call Monday and Tuesday from Janet.

Wednesday, Rev. Doris called me about Billy’s surgery and to put him on the prayer chain.

Thursday, October 7, I got calls from both Janet and my sister Peggy in Florida. Friday, October 8 Dora Marie Baker called me to check on Billy. Janet, Jesse Montgomery, and

Bonnie all called me on this day. In the afternoon, I went to Mt. Vernon and Jesse Montgomery took me to St. Mary’s Hospital to see Billy. Norma Sue and Billie Sue were there to be with Billy and while we were there Brett Butler’s wife, Haley came to see Billy.

Back in Mt. Vernon several of our families gathered at Betty and Jesse’s home to enjoy the evening meal and visitation.

Saturday, October 4 I talked to Judy by phone and also to Jerry and Lois Mauck in South Gate, MI. I was in Owensville Saturday and Lorena Wilder and I went to Ft. Branch to Dairy Queen to eat and enjoy a ride through the country side.

Sunday, October 10 I was in church at the Poseyville Christian where we all enjoyed the message, the choir and Jane Montgomery on the piano. It was reported that Linda Kepley, the organist had fallen and her arm is in a sling, but she said she will be here next Sunday to play anyway. Sunday afternoon I went to New Harmony Healthcare for our church services there and I visited many residents and friends while there.

Poseyville gas price as of Sunday night was $2.85 9/10 per gallon.

Poseyville’s past two weeks rainfall, the only rain we had was .12” on Satuday, October 2.

Please be in the church of your choice each Sunday. You are always welcome at the Poseyville Christian Church at 10:30 a.m. on the corner of Main and Cale Streets in Poseyville.

To Kill a Mockingbird celebrates 50th birthday First published in 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee has never been out of print. Hailed by some critics as the greatest novel of the 20th century, a group of British librarians recently ranked it ahead of the Bible as a book everyone should read before they die.

Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story of life in the depression era South, draws a great deal from her own childhood. Like the girl in the story, Scout, Lee had a lawyer father she adored, a brother four years her senior and a young imaginative friend. The character Dill was based on her lifelong friend, author Truman Capote. Certainly, the racism and class differences portrayed in the book were observed by young Lee in her own town.

While it is a story of rape, racial inequality, poverty, ignorance and intolerance, it is also a story of family, courage and compassion. Lee looks at the good and the bad in society not with the melodramatic eye of a Tennessee Williams, but with childlike honest, warmth and humor.

Although over the years, Harper Lee has had little to say about her celebrated

Armed only with the name of the town and an antique water bottle the old man kept with him his whole life, Eric slips into a world of terror where an unholy lust for power reaches from beyond the grave placing Shaw in the fight of his life. So plan on reading, So Cold the River, but not on a night when you are home alone.

For creepy fun for the younger set, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that the WMI has a great selection of Halloween books for kids.

SCHOOL North Elementary to hold Book Fair Thursday

Mount Vernon High School’s sacred music ensemble Angelus.

Mount Vernon’s Angelus’ recording available Angelus, Mount Vernon High School’s acclaimed sacred music ensemble is pleased to announce the release of its third audio recording. Titled “Concert at St. Benedict Cathedral,” the recording features selections from the ensemble’s 2010 summer tour kick-off concert held on July 8 at St. Benedict Cathedral in Evansville.

Music Director Dana Taylor recalls “it was an incredibly stormy night and due to the weather we thought at best we would see our families and some friends.” What greeted the ensemble was an audience of nearly 200.

The ensuing concert covered a great deal of the ensemble’s repertoire and the best of the performance was then selected for the recording.

Grant, from Page 1A personnel: the fire department will use 1,427 sq. ft. of the administrative area while emergency medical services will use 745 sq. ft.

Prominent among the supporters was Larry Robb. As Assistant Fire Chief for New Harmony, he spoke on behalf of New Harmony Fire Chief Scott Miller. Chief among his concerns for the fire department are the limits of the current location at 711 Tavern in terms of the structure’s age as well as the safety and slowing of response time.

“Our current fire station is well over 110 years old – the front half of it. [An addition was built on in 1974.] It was never built or designed to house these large fire trucks we currently use,” Robb said. “The doors are narrow, and it’s on a narrow street. When we pull out now, it’s difficult to jackknife the trucks in and out of the building. Parts of the floor – again, it was not designed for the heavy weight of these trucks – you can actually watch it move up and down as we drive in and out of the building. So it’s important to us to get in a stable facility.”

He continued, “We think that it would increase our safety on our response. Our members lot of times drive their personal vehicles to the fire station, which requires them to go down the many side streets to get to the station. In response, our trucks have to leave the station, go down side streets and stop signs and turn corners just to get out to the main thoroughfare. So that makes it – slows our response anywhere in town or especially when we do leave the city limits of New Har-

North Elementary will host it’s annual Fall Book Fair on October 11-15, 2010.

The fair will feature specially priced books, educational products, books products classics and current bestsellers. The book fair profits go toward helping the school in many areas and needs, including the purchase of books for their library.

“It is amazing how our small community works together to help North Elementary,” said Kim Williams, Book Fair Chairperson.

The fair theme is “Here’s To Our Heroes! Reading Saves the Day!” It will be open Monday-Thursday 8-3:15 and Friday 8-11:30. Special events will feature “Grandparents Night” on Monday, October 11 from 5-7 p.m. and “Family Night” on Thursday

October 14 from 5-7:30 p.m. Please note, that anyone attending Family Night is invited to dress as their favorite hero.

We will also be accepting donations now through the end of the fair for our “One for Books” program. You can donate loose change, $1 or any amount, and your name will displayed at the fair. The money collected will be matched by Scholastic and used to help three National Programs: Kids In Distressed Situations, Toys for Tots, and National Center for Family Literacy. Our money raised will be used to help purchase a book for children from each classroom.

We extend an invitation to the community to attend this book fair and we look forward to seeing you there.

In an unusual turn, the recording is available for download only at amazon.com, iTunes.com, Napster.com and other popular media outlets. Prices range fro $8.99-$9.99 for the entire recording of twelve works or $.99 for individual tracks.

Those interested in the recording should search their favorite media site by using the keywords “Angelus Concert at St. Benedict Cathedral.”

In addition to the “Concert at St. Benedict Cathedral” the ensemble also has available their 2010 spring release “Hymns to the Virgin.” The spring recording, as well as concert videos are available by calling 812-833-5932.

All proceeds from the sales will benefit future activities of the ensemble.

For information, please call 833-5932.

mony.”

Robb emphasized that the two fire trucks, in excess of 30 ft. long, had to pull out, back up and pull out again to leave the current station. He estimated response time could increase by 3 to 5 minutes at the proposed new station, which will be located 1/8 mile east of New Harmonie Healthcare.

Robb spoke also in his capacity as Director of Posey County’s Emergency Management Agency. “On the EMA side,” he said, “all the fire stations in Posey County are considered emergency rallying points, or places for the citizens of the community to go to in time of need. It’s important that we have a stable facility when we have some sort of emergency or disaster that requires relocation of several of our citizens. We need a place where they can take shelter, after emergency where they can be cared for, and have a place to come, like it was mentioned earlier, where we can help work with the community to sponsor classes, do training, educational programs and such as that.”

He added, “A new station for the EMS allows them to be quicker also in their response.

It allows them also to have quicker and safer response. Because again, they are also located several blocks off of main streets. When they leave town, they again have to go through city streets, worry about people, traffic. It’s a benefit to all both in safety and convenience.”

The current EMS station is located at 510 South Street.

Robb noted as well the current facilities

possess no showers or water for washing trucks and equipment. At the proposed facility, utilities and electric are available.

Other noteworthy speakers in support of the proposed facility included Martha Raske, a member of the Charles Ford Home Board; Debbie Morgan, Administrator of New Harmonie Healthcare; Chastity Axton

The Posey County Health Department will hold an immunization clinic Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010 at North Elementary School in Poseyville from 3 p.m. — 5 p.m. and Wednesday Oct. 27, 2010 at the Coliseum in Mount Vernon from 2 p.m. — 6 p.m. An appointment is not needed for these clinics.

One unplanned encounter at a local restaurant excited Trey and his family also. Country music celebrity Kevin Johns spotted Trey wearing a cowboy hat purchased in Arizona.

Johns talked with the family and gave Trey an autographed CD. The Grand Canyon trip offered the Hubers a much-needed attempt at normalcy. To treat Trey’s CVID so he can live like a typical sixth-grader requires IGG therapy, as his mom explains, a $17,000 injection of plasma twice a month. So far, the insurance compa-

ny won’t allow the expensive therapy. Mom comments, “Trey is at a level 3 and dropping.

The insurance company won’t OK his treatment until he reaches level 0,” when he might be hospitalized, say, with pneumonia.

Trey’s next wish is a used golf cart for his family so they can be like everyone else in New Harmony. Dad Kevin is working to purchase the golf cart and welcomes any community support of his endeavor. After the family’s Grand Canyon adventure, the Hubers know there’s no place like home for making wishes come true.

CGB is latest UW Pacesetter Consolidated Grain and Barge (CGB) is one of the Pacesetters for the United Way campaign. They ran their United Way campaign during August and results were announced at the United Way of Posey County campaign kick-off on September 16th to get the United Way campaign off to a good start.

CGB has been an innovative and progressive leader in the grain and transportation industries since 1970, when it began modestly in a small office in St. Louis, Missouri, with 3 employees.

Today, CGB operates a global enterprise in more than 70 locations with over 1200

employees, overseeing a diverse family of businesses.

The company provides an array of services for grain farmers, from financing and risk management to buying, storing, selling and shipping the crop. CGB continues to be one of the largest shippers of grain on the inland river system.

At CGB’s Mt. Vernon, Indiana, operations it employs 100 people encompassing four divisions who value the strong relationship that have been built over the 30 years our operations have been involved in the Posey County Community. That is why CGB has been a strong sup-

porter of the Posey County United Way, and this year’s Pacesetter Program.

Funds raised in the United Way Campaign go to support 21 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. For more information about services provided by the United Way of Posey County or volunteer opportunities available, call 838-3637 or email uwposey@sbcglobal.net.

PCCF awards grants to six local organizations The Posey County Community Foundation’s Board of Trustees announced today that the Foundation would award grants to six organizations serving Posey County totaling $6250.

Grants to these nonprofit organizations, which serve Posey County, have been made possible by the Women’s Fund of Posey County which is dedicated to supporting programs created to give opportunities, encouragement, knowledge and hope to women and girls in Posey County.

• Willowtree of Posey County/Domestic Violence Task Force: $1,333 to provide funding to print a safety planning booklet and business card with important phone numbers along with purchasing promotional materials such as key chains, magnets, and lip balm.

• West Elementary School: $880 to purchase American Girl series books for each of the three third grade classrooms. A portion of the funds will also be used to purchase craft supplies and snacks for four after school sessions and two DVDs that correlate with the book series.

• St. Peter’s United Methodist Church: $940 to purchase supplies to provide affordable women’s health screenings to Posey County women.

• West Elementary School: $1,150 to purchase program materials and supplies for the Girl Power Program at West Elementary School.

• Farmersville Elementary School: $460 to purchase snacks for the Girl Power Program along with paying for dinner for the girls at the Red Geranium Restaurant in New Harmony.

Since the fund began in 2004, the Women’s Fund of Posey County has awarded $42,668 in grants to support women and girls in a variety of ways in Posey County. To acknowledge our winners, the Foundation will host a Women in Philanthropy luncheon on Tuesday, October 19, at noon in the Conference

Around the House Whenever we think about saving energy, a natural and logical place to start is with heating and cooling since a large portion of our energy bill is due to keeping our homes cool in summer and warm in winter. However, when considering reducing our heating and cooling, most do not consider a free Do-ItYourself project that can be done on a cool fall evening.

All that is needed is a flashlight, a small tape measure and a dust mask. With these tools in hand, you are ready to go exploring…in your attic.

SAFETY WARNING: if your attic isn’t floored and you are not sure of your footing, hire someone to check your attic.

Walking on the ceiling joists is tricky and you don’t want to harm yourself or put a foot through your ceiling. Now, go into your attic space and look around. You’re making sure that the insulation is properly installed. Over time insulation can become

pulled up, mashed down, pushed aside or missing due to human or rodent activity.

Insulation gaps create drafts and allow the “bought” air to flow freely to the outside.

The two most common types of insulation are rolled batts and loose fill. The pink or yellow variety is most likely fiberglass and you will want to handle with gloves. Batts look like solid rectangles between the joists. The loose fill will be just that, loose fibers blown or spread around the area.

The goal for both types is to keep insulation level and consistent across the attic.

For loose fill, you may use a rake to spread it out, making sure to get into the gaps and corners. SAFETY TIP: be careful of wiring that resides under the insulation and runs between the joists. Use a light touch when moving the insulation. For batting, make sure that no boxes or items are compressing the insula-

Holiday World finished its 64th season today by setting a new seasonal attendance record, up nearly 14 percent from the previous record, set last year.

“This is the fifth year in a row we’ve topped one million in attendance,” says park president Dan Koch. “We’re very grateful to all the families who came to visit our parks.”

With a final count of 1,182,636 guests, Koch credits the season’s growth with the addition of Wildebeest, the world’s longest water coaster, plus the parks’ budget-friendly free soft drinks, along with a continued concentration on cleanliness and friendliness.

“So much of the credit for our growth goes to the incredible service and hospitality provided by our Hosts and Hostesses,” Koch says.

“As far as we’re concerned, it takes more than great rides and shows to make a park worth visiting. We are very appreciative of our hardworking staff.”

Koch became president of the park in June, following the unexpected death of his brother Will, who had guided the park’s successful growth and development for more than two decades. Over the weekend, the World Waterpark Association (WWA) inducted Will Koch into its

Waterpark Hall of Fame. According to the WWA, their Waterpark Hall of Fame “honors the water leisure industry's most important pioneers and innovators.”

“This is a great honor for a great man,” says Dan Koch. “I am thankful for my brother’s life.”

Holiday World, the world’s first theme park, will open its 65th season on May 7, 2011.

Splashin' Safari will open for the season on May 13, with the debut of Safari Sam’s SplashLand, a children’s water-play area with eight new water slides. For more information visit www.holidayworld.com or call 1-877-Go-Family.

Celebrating 18 years of building community philanthropy, Posey County Community Foundation is a $5 million philanthropic endowment with a growing family of 78 component funds. Since its establishment in 1992, the foundation has worked to improve the quality of life in Posey County with the support of charitable gifts and bequests from individuals, families, organizations and corporations committed to making a difference in the community for generations to come.

By Tim Barnett tion. If any batts are compressed, gently lift and fluff them once you remove the items. Also look for any gaps between the batts and the joists. You may need more insulation to fill in gaps.

After a final look around, shine you flashlight at the ceiling to check for dark, blackened areas as these may indicate excessive moisture or possible leaks. If you find any problem areas, have them checked by a professional before they become an expensive issue. Having a healthy home is like being a healthy person: it takes maintenance!

OPINION

Despite frustrations, Posey County is amazing place If you are like me, there are times when you get just a little frustrated with the people of Posey County. And probably, the people of Posey County get frustratTRUTH... ed with me.

For example, after mak- STRANGER ing such a huge issue over THAN the school referendum in FICTION Mount Vernon last year, not BY DAVE a single person had a ques- PEARCE tion or a comment on the $29 million budget the school board passed last week. There was a public hearing one week and the board passed the budget the next week. Where were all the people with the big ideas? The television cameras were gone and it didn’t mean any more money out of anyone’s pocket right now so apathy has again become the rule.

But this was not intended to be a negative writing. At the time I am writing this, I am sitting back in amazement at the positive things that have happened in our county not only this year but in the past.

The Imagination Station celebrated its Tenth Anniversary recently. It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since people like Kay Cox and Larry Williams got together to push the idea. Employees of (then) General Electric along with hundreds of members of the community made the playground at the Alexandrian Public Library become a reality. It was truly an amazing time.

Not so long ago, Mount Vernon was with-

out a yearly festival. The Jaycees club had held the Street Festival for many years but the group disbanded and suddenly, Mount Vernon did not have a festival. Along came the group that formed River Days.

Hours and hours went into the planning of River Days and this year, area residents were able to see not only the LST but also were able to visit the Viet Nam Wall replica. What an exciting this to have in Posey County. Sweat equity pays off again.

But this weekend, the generosity of homeowner Rodney Wade combined with the needs of Young Life prompted well over 1,000 people to get a look inside the home that many had only dreamed about…Robin Hill. A host of volunteers made the open house/fundraiser work. It was a thrill to see so many people come together for a positive event.

While the other two of Posey County’s largest communities still have their annual festival, I can only imagine the pride with which Jane Owen swells when she looks down and sees the new things happening in New Harmony. Recently, a golf cart drive-in movie was the talk of the town and just last weekend, a couple of New Harmony’s finest folks came up with the idea of trying to trigger their own stimulus package in a tough economy in New Harmony. And all this is on the heels of a very successful Kunstfest.

Laura Hudgins and Laura Spradley (and perhaps a name or two that I’m leaving out) came up with the idea of holding a townwide real estate open house. Last Sunday, several area residents and some from out of town took advantage of this opportunity to see the homes that are currently on the market in New Harmony. Some even got to know their neighbors a little better. A couple of realtors and bankers were on hand to answer questions and again, many volunteers offered golf cart rides to visitors to the homes. What a thrill it was to see some of the historic homes that are currently for sale in New Harmony. The idea caught on so well that the discussion has began as to whether to hold another such real estate open house during Christmas in New Harmony. We’ll keep you posted on that one.

Then on Saturday, a town-wide picnic was held in New Harmony. A good number of residents came out to participate in the picnic and enjoy the music. A few minutes at the picnic and you knew there is no shortage of musical talent in New Harmony. Everyone enjoyed the picnic, which I predict will become an annual event.

In Poseyville, it is just on the heels of an Autumnfest that brought people out in large numbers. Again, a countless number of hours were invested in the affair, particularly be members of the Poseyville Kiwanis Club and the Poseyville Junior Women’s Club.

The groups welcome new members and/or volunteers to help plan next year’s event.

With the election approaching, when I do watch television, all I see is one politician attacking another. It seems that no one wants to tip their hand as to the ideas that he or she has if elected. It is easier to run a smear campaign on the other party. It is a shame but that is the way it has been for a long time and I don’t expect that will change.

The one thing I do expect to change, however, is the attitudes people have toward one another. When the economy was going great guns, Americans became what they felt were self-sufficient. Most felt like they no longer really needed their family, friends, and neighbors. And now, with the economy the way it is, people are finding once again that it is nice to be able to walk across the street or up the street and share concerns with people who might be experiencing the same or a similar struggle. Together, perhaps people can find a way to help each other.

Just as I am sure many of you are, I am ready for the election to be over. One person will be elected and one will not. When it is all over, we are all Americans living in the best nation on earth. So, keep your signs in your yards for your candidate and do what you think is necessary to help the individual you would like to see in office.

Then, after Election Day, plan a picnic.

Invite the neighbors. One day we are adversaries but the next day we are still the people of Posey County. What does not destroy us will make us stronger and will hopefully, eventually, bring us closer together.

Items to the Editor Please exercise right to vote

NRA endorses Trent Van Haaften Trent Van Haaften announced his exclusive endorsement by the conservative National Rifle Association (NRA) today at the Terre Haute Sporting Clays range for the race for Indiana’s 8th Congressional District.

“The second Amendment protects the fundamental right in our Constitution to bear arms,” said Van Haaften. “Whether it in the courthouse as a prosecutor or as a member of Congress, I will always fight to protect the second Amendment rights for all Americans.”

A recent open letter to Van Haaften from the NRA, the nation’s largest gun-rights organization, said that Van Haaften “… proudly supported a number of pro-gun reforms for gun-owning Hoosiers, such as protecting lawful self-defense with a firearm and removing crime victims’ duty to retreat when attacked, streamlining the renewal process for Indiana’s Concealed Carry Permit holders and shielding gun owners from criminal charges for third parties who commit crimes with a stolen firearm.”

The endorsement of the NRA carries significant weight in ru-

ral Western and Southwestern Indiana. The 8th district is home to nearly 28,000 gun owners who are also registered voters.

The endorsement of the NRA strikes close to home for Van Haaften. Van Haaften’s brother, Brett, is a lifelong hunter and an amateur hunting dog trainer.

“Without second Amendment protections my brother would not be able to enjoy his passion for the outdoors, for hunting or for dog training,” Van Haaften continued. “I will always support my brother Brett and gun owners just like him across Indiana.”

Van Haaften’s endorsement by the NRA follows other endorsements by conservative groups like the Fraternal Order of Police, the national veteran’s organization Veterans Vision and the National Committee to Protect Social Security, the nation’s second largest senior advocacy group after AARP. Van Haaften is a former Posey County Prosecuting Attorney.

He is a lifelong resident of Mount Vernon and lives there today with his wife Beverly.

Habitat seeks help in any form Dear Business Leaders of Mount Vernon, I am pleased to announce that this year there will be another Habitat for Humanity Build here in Mount Vernon sponsored by the Mount Vernon Ministerial Association. This will be the fourth home for Mount Vernon, this one located on East 2 street adjacent to the 2009 home. Additionally, the family chosen is a local Mount Vernon family that has resided in this community for several years. The reality is that, for the first time, we have two approved families simultaneously. It is our intent to build one home in the fall and another in the spring of 2011.

The Build is tentatively scheduled to begin shortly after The Mount Vernon River Days and will be completed over the course of two months. Our intention, which has worked successfully in the past, is to continue the involvement of the various churches of Mount Vernon hosting various aspects of the Build. The ultimate goal is for the family to move in well before Christmas.

An important part of this entire project is to collect the necessary $55,000 to pay for the home. The money will go for all building materials needed for the build as well as certain skilled labor that is contracted due to its complexity (i.e.

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and drywall).

We are just beginning our fundraising process and, so far, we have donations and pledges that will cover approximately 25 percent of this Build. For the Build to move forward, we need to have the money in hand prior to the end of September. Therefore, we are making a formal request to you, the Business Leaders of Mount Vernon, to help us support this Build. Any monetary donation is certainly appreciated and should be in the form of a check made out to “Habitat for Humanity”. Mount Vernon Build should be designated in the lower left corner of the check. Please mail checks to: Habitat for Humanity c/o Mount Vernon Ministerial Association P.O. Box 228 Mount Vernon, IN 47620 Thank you so much for your generosity and support of this noble cause. It is our intent to beat the $55,000 goal so that we can position ourselves for the next Build the spring of 2011. Your support is crucial to this. If you need further information please feel free to contact me at 838-1629. If you have questions regarding the Build or would like to volunteer time to this Build, please go to the Habitat for Humanity website at www.evansvillehabitat.org.

Thank you again and God Bless, Kay Kilgore

Gavel Gamut’s “Judging Judges” I am so excited. Arlene R. Campbell of Wadesville, Indiana sent the following letter to me via The Posey County News: “September 28, 2010 Judge Redwine: Since you have a regular column in The Posey County News, I wonder if I might ask you to address an issue in your column, if that is appropriate, and, if not, would you mind just answering me individually.

I picked up a sample ballot at the courthouse today.

The General Election ballot contains four Judicial Retention Questions. I have no way of knowing how to vote on these questions because I haven’t even heard of these people, and I don’t know how to find out anything about their service as judges. I try to educate myself by attending voter forums, but judge retention questions have never been addressed. Seeing a yard sign or a newspaper ad stating so-and-so is running and would appreciate your vote (I haven’t seen such about these judges but even if I should) does not educate me

as to whether they deserve to be retained. Since you are a judge, would you please give us some guidance on how a

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

person can learn enough to vote intelligently on judge retention questions? I take my voting responsibility very seriously, as I do jury duty.

That’s why I am asking for your help.”

Now I know Ms. Campbell did not state that she had ever read my column, or, if she had, if she liked it. But I will savor what I can; at least she has heard of the column and did not say she did not like it.

Well, Ms. Campbell, you happened upon one of my crochets. Judicial election/selection has pre-occupied me since 1975 when we Hoosiers voted to amend Indiana’s Constitution to remove the Indiana Supreme Court and

Main Office: 641 S Third Street • New Harmony, IN 47631 Satellite Office: 613 E Fourth Street • Mount Vernon, IN 47620 812-682-3950 • FAX 812-682-3944 www.poseycountynews.com

the Court of Appeals from the partisan election process.

Instead of all Hoosier voters having input as to who will determine the many critical issues facing our higher courts, now a seven member commission and the governor are in control.

So, how to address your question? When, every ten years, we may be involved in the “retention” vote, how do we decide how to vote? I am put in mind of my friend and neighbor, Chuck Minnette, who, along with his wife, Bonnie, lives across the road from Peg and me.

On the weekends, Chuck and I spend hours discussing important issues such as judicial election/selection as we artfully dodge Bonnie and Peg who have other agendas for us. Recently Chuck asked me about the anointing of U.S. Supreme Court justices.

As I told him, it just does not matter who is on any court as long as the judge is of good character.

All judges are high school, college and law school graduates. They all had to pass a Bar Examination. Each

potential judge has a moral fitness requirement usually determined by whether the judge, as a judge or as an attorney, has been disciplined by the Judicial Qualifications Committee or the Attorney Disciplinary Committee. All Indiana judges must complete judicial continuing education every year. There are health and age restrictions by law and court rule. There are time limits for judges to decide cases. And all judges are, perhaps, of at least average intellect.

Therefore, the salient criterion for choosing judges should be what banks call The Big C. If a borrower will move heaven and earth before they would willingly default on a loan, that is more important than whether the potential debtor looks good, sounds good or has collateral. In like manner, a good judge does not have to have any particular qualification except good character.

I know I have not, as yet, answered Ms. Campbell’s question, but we have a few more weeks before the “election”.

Next month the polls open and we the people will once again go to the polls to elect our law makers. Notice I didn’t say leaders as that is supposed to be our job.

When this time is upon us I urge you to go to the polls to vote.

Moreover I urge you to vote for the conservative candidates. I urge this because for two years we have seen the full force of the liberal progressive agenda in action. The government has taken over businesses, forced a healthcare system on us that the people overwhelmingly objected causing some states to revive the idea of nullification which hasn’t existed since 1832. In addition, the liberals in government have refused to honor state’s right and fought a law that simply reinforced a federal immigration law.

In short the power of the federal government has swelled against the wishes of our founding fathers while at the same time shrinking our very freedom.

It is time to begin to restore our country to the honorable state it once was. Where the people are free and the government takes orders from us.

Unique opportunity presents itself Dear Community Service Provider, We are writing to let you know about an opportunity to help people experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, severe financial issues or homelessness in our community through providing needed services.

The first annual Posey County Community Connect: Don’t Wait Too Late will be held on Tuesday, October 26, 2010, from 1-5 p.m. in Wesley Hall at First United Methodist Church 601 Main Street, Mount Vernon, Ind. This is a one-day, one-stop event with one charge: providing critical services to people who are at severe financial risk or are homeless or near-homeless.

Guests are offered assistance with housing, employment, education, health and dental care, mental health care, veteran’s benefits, social services, legal services, and more. They also will receive personal gift bags and are offered on-site child care, and other quality of life services.

More than 330 events in over 200 cities since 2004 are evidence of the rapid adoption of this innovative approach to providing services. Cities of every size from coast to coast have engaged in Project Homeless Connect, which our event is modeled after, in a very grassroots event which strives to minimize costs while maximizing donations, volunteering, and community participation. The event is sponsored by Family Matters of Posey County and its many partners.

Posey County Community Connect: Don’t Wait Too Late will make a powerful impact on the lives of people who are near-homeless or severely financially stressed by providing a wide range of assistance in one location and by the outpouring of respect and hospitality. It can enable you to efficiently reach many peopled in a single day and to coordinate your services with others.

Attached please find a recruitment flyer about the event and a vendor Booth Application. We are seeking vendors who can offer some type of service, beyond simple information about services. If you would like to be present at the event to offer services, please submit a completed application by Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Contact information is noted at the bottom of the third page. An application is required for all vendors. Each person serving at the booth is asked to sign the release form on page two of the application. No walk-ins will be accepted, due to the planning required prior to the event.

Please feel free to contact me with question you may have about participating. We hope you will join our partnership to help end homelessness in our community.

Thanks for hosting picnic

We'd like to thank John Jeffrey for hosting the New Harmony "Whole Town Picnic" October 9 at the Elliott Farm.

There was plenty of good company, good music provided by the Artist's Guild and more. John was well prepared for the event, including the beautiful weather. He has planned to make this an annual event and get us primed for the New Harmony Bicentennial in 2014.

Youthful Braves are not match for revved-up Vikings

By Dave Pearce It took very little time Friday night in Lynnville to figure out that the best team on the football field was not the home team.

The North Posey Vikings strolled into Tecumseh Braves territory and pretty much strolled their way to a 43-13 victory.

“We’re playing a little bit better,” Coach Joe Gengelbach said following the win.

“We’re still making some mistakes but we came out and played very, very well in the first quarter.”

Tecumseh, a Class 1A school and formerly a member of the Pocket Athletic Conference, was outmanned from the get-go. With seven freshmen starting on both sides of the ball, Coach Tom Osborne knows his team is in a rebuilding phase but despite their youth and inexperience, there were some highlights for the Braves.

But most of the night could have been a highlight film for the Vikings as the Vikings took the opening kickoff and when quarterback Colton Motx hit receiver Jourdan Cox at the 10:19 mark, Cox carried the ball into the end zone, completing a 47-yard touchdown drive.

After the kick-off by Nick Crumbacher, who had another exceptional night in that capacity, the young Braves were again with their backs against the wall. On third down in the shadow of their own goalposts, the Braves decided to go to the air. That was not a good decision, as it turned out, as Nick Neidig went high into the air and intercepted a pass. Sophomore classmate Wes Harness got the call and carried the ball in from 20 yards out and with just 2:29 gone in the game, the Vikings led 13-0 after the extra point failed due to a bad snap.

The Vikings were literally hitting on all cylinders as the young Braves had no answer

for an offensive line that played very well and opened up holes all night long. Harness was the recipient of many of those holes as he finished the night with 207 yards on 19 carries.

In a game that really was not as close as the score indicates, Motz connected with Neidig after the Viking defense held. The MotzNeidig connection covered 29 yards and the Vikings were up 20-0 just five minutes into the game.

The finals score of the first quarter came with 2:06 showing on the clock as Harness again broke loose for a 35-yard run and the Vikings led 27-0 heading into the second period.

Unfortunately, it was more of the same in the second period as the Vikings added a 34yard field goal by Crumbacher, The score at half-time was 30-0.

The third quarter was a little more defensive as the only score of the period came on a 56-yard run by Harness.

“I thought we might have had a little lull there in the second quarter but then we came back out in the third quarter and got our concentration back,” Gengelbach said. “Then we got the opportunity to play some of our younger kids and they need to play. It helps them out a lot.”

The final North Posey score on the night came when Jourdan Cox got loose from six yards out and the Vikings led 43-0 with 10:50 remaining in the game.

The Braves put two long plays for touchdowns in the final eight minutes of the contest as quarterback Kyle Busing hooked up with Jacob Newmaster for a 61-yard pass play before Busing hit Adam Grannon for a 79-yard play with 3:30 remaining. The scores came against a predominantly reserve team

Cats shake slow start to dominate Princeton’s Tigers

By Steve Joos They did it again Friday night---sort of.

One week after running into a buzz saw in the form of a state-ranked Mater Dei team, the Mount Vernon football squad traveled to Princeton and tore into the winless Tigers, routing the Gibson County squad 62-20.

Jason Stemple completed 13 of 16 passes for 118 yards and three touchdowns, connecting with a smorgasbord of receivers, while dishing the ball to a number of running backs as the Wildcats matched Stemple’s passing with 290 yards on the ground.

All in all, a great comeback, right?

Coach Paul Maier thought so about the Cats’ second half.

“I’m pleased with how we focused in the second half,” Maier said. “We did not come out of the gate very well, or at all. I’m disappointed with our mental preparation and our approach to the game. Princeton came out and they played well and they were flat putting it to us.”

Maier went on to say that had the Tigers (who started nine freshmen against Mount Vernon) not been that young or experienced, the outcome might have been different.

But the Cats had the experience and that proved to be the difference, as Mount Vernon took the lead late in the opening period and then pulled away in the second quarter.

Tyler Osborne started and rushed for 47 yards, third on the team behind Tim Davis

and Will Terbeck, each of whom netted 61.

Maier said that between Osborne, Davis and Aaron Choate (24 yards and one of the Cats’ five rushing touchdowns), who could be the team top running back.

Stemple also connected with five receivers, led by Terbeck’s four catches. Maier was also happy with the offensive line, where some changes in practice this week paid dividends for the Wildcats.

Davis also ignited the Cats’ second half rampage by returning the opening kickoff of the third quarter 90 yards for a touchdown, while Choate had one of his better nights defensively. That duo and Stempole each had an interception as well, while nine different Cats put points on the board.

But it was Princeton that drew first blood, returning a punt to the 50-yard line and then getting a big break when quarterback Cotton Wilder found Rontray Chavis down the left sidelines and the senior receiver took it 47 yards for the touchdown. The play came on fourth down and nine with 6:10 to go in the first quarter.

Michael Keroode’s kick made the score 7-0.

After Maier discussed things with his team in a time out with 5:24 left in the quarter, the Wildcats responded, finding a “Will” (Terbeck) to take control of the contest.

Continued on Page B3

As the score continued to get more lopsided, Mount Vernon rested some of their key starters during Friday night’s conference game at Princeton. Sophomore receiver Brian Koch tucked this pass and ran to add yards and set up another Wildcat touchdown.

Wildcats, from Page B1

First, the senior running back got through the defense and broke away for a 61-yard touchdown run, with Zac Deig’s extra point knotting the score at 7-7 less than a minute after Princeton scored.

On their next possession, the Tigers fumbled the ball on their own 28-yard line and Mount Vernon recovered. Three plays later, Stemple and Terbeck hooked up for an 11-yard scoring play, Deig added the point after and the Wildcats held a 14-7 lead.

Osborne barged in from two yards out and Stemple found Aaron Straub for a six-yard scoring strike as the Cats took a 28-7 advantage to the sidelines at halftime and the rout was on.

Davis started the second-half rampage by bringing the opening kickoff back all the way for a touchdown, cutting through the defense behind a key block by Terbeck. The Cats stalled Princeton’s first drive this time and when the Tigers lost the ball on downs with just over two minutes gone in the period, they were at Princeton’s 33-yard line. Five plays later, it was Choate doing the honors, barging in from two yards out.

Stemple got his interception on the Princeton 40-yard line with 6:58 to go in the period.

Two-and-one-half minutes after atoning for one of the two interceptions he threw so far this season, Stemple hit Brian Koch with a four-yard pass to make it 48-7 on Deig’s sixth conversion kick of the night.

The senior signal-caller capped Mount Vernon’s big period with a 16-yard run as the Cats took a 55-7 advantage into the fourth quarter.

“The kickoff return was big, but our kids came out in the second half a little more focused,” Maier said. “They came out in the second half with more of a sense of purpose.”

The coach thought the team could have done a lot better in the first two quarters, giving up yardage at key times and not taking advantage of some Princeton miscues, most notably an interception by Davis that stopped the Tigers’ first possession of the night.

Vikings, from Page B1 field for the Vikings.

“We didn’t make the mistakes we have made earlier in the year,” Gengelbach observed. “So hopefully as the season is winding down, we’re starting to get some of that stuff worked out. We want to get some of our mistakes shored up before the tournament.”

The draw was held Sunday evening and in a rematch of the first game of the season, the Vikings will square off against South Spencer in the opening round of the sectional. The Vikings opened the season with a hard-fought 28-20 win over the Rebels in Reo but this time, it appears the Vikings will be without Cameron “Hard Luck” Calvert, who underwent surgery this week on what was described as a “shattered finger.” The senior running back and defensive player was injured and rehabilitated after a surgery over the summer and then was involved in an automobile accident on his way to the team’s scrimmage against North Knox.

The latest injury probably means his high school football career is over, however, a definite prognosis had not been determined on Friday night.

Besides Harness with 207 yards, Cox had 34 yards on seven carries while Alec Werry had one carry for 14 yards. Dylan Wright had four carries for 14 yards and Derek Voegel had four carries for four yards. Motz finished with 7-of-14 passing for two touchdowns and Werry hit on one of two. Cox and Casey Voelker each had a pair of receptions, Cox for 67 yards and Voelker for 11.

Neidig had one reception for 29 yards while Tyler Atkins had one for 20 yards and Jared Reidford had one for 10.

Harness caught one pass for eight yards.

Defensively, Luke Morrow and Anthonoy Webb had eight solo tackles apiece while Orry Weiss and Cox had four apiece. Alex Goebel and Chris O’Risky had three apiece and Neidig, Kurt Seibert, and Alex Maile joined Jacob Bender and Mitchell Kuhn with a pair of tackles.

Bender also came up with a big interception early in the game while Seibert had two tackles for losses and Mail and Weiss each had one.

Webb, O’Risky, Maile and Goebel each had four tackle assists while Brandon Baumgart had a tackle and an assist and Voegel, Baumgart, Morrow, and Neidig had two tackle assists each. Cox deflected two passes while Morrow and Neidig got one apiece.

The Vikings will host Pike Central on senior night on Friday. Activities begin around 5:30.

Chavis hauled in a 58-yard scoring pass with 16 seconds gone in the fourth quarter for Princeton’s second score of the night. Craig Isaac answered for Mount Vernon as the Cats held on to the ball for over eight minutes after that touchdown.

Then Wilder hooked up with Chavis for another score to close out the evening.

While the win gave Mount Vernon its fifth straight winning regular season and sixth in seven years, Maier wasn’t really all that impressed with those achievements.

“I don’t feel our effort was at the level it needs to be,” the coach said. “I think we need to focus a little more prior to the game, our mental preparation needs to be better and we need to work better as a team.”

In short, Mount Vernon has higher aspirations, like hanging a banner on the wall.

The Cats need to be more physical and have to keep their eyes on the goal of advancing in the playoffs, Maier said, adding that the team made some progress in that regard at Princeton.

Chavis celebrated senior night at Princeton by hauling in four passes for 201 yards and all three Tiger scores. Wilder completed nine of 15 passes for 242 yards, but was picked off three times. DeAnthony Jamerson also went out in style, carrying the ball 28 times for 103 yards.

But Mount Vernon had more of everything, just in smaller portions among different people.

Especially in the second half.

Lady Vikings win fourth straight, prepare for tournament action

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Lady Viking volleyball team is on a tear.

After struggling through the heart of the season, the Vikings appear to be picking up steam just in time to head into the sectional tournament as they disposed of

both Wood Memorial and Princeton this week with relative ease.

“We’re starting to play pretty well,” Coach Gary Gentil said, following the one-sided win over Wood Memorial. “We covered well and hit the ball hard, attacking-wise, and we

served pretty well. We have been working on serving the ball harder and when you are hitting the serves a lot harder, you are going to have more service errors.”

But the errors appeared to be nothing the Lady Vikings could not overcome as they set the Trojans down 25-13,

25-13 in each of the first two games. The third game was a little tighter at 25-21 but the outcome was never really in doubt.

The Vikings had the services of Katelyn Esche, a senior setter who had missed the past several matches with an ankle injury. She finished with seven assists th night while continuon the t get her playing legs ing to back under her. She played spari sparingly at Princeton earlier in the week. Kendall Reid Reidford again led the team with 15 assists.

“It is nice to have both o of our setters back and healt healthy,” Gentil said.

Th was the fifth match This in a row where Gentil feels that h his players have brought their practice attitude into the matches. They have won four of those five contestss (the last four in a row) h and have won the applause ho o of home and apposing fans

like with their renewed desire to win and hustle.

Reidford also led the team with three aces, an honor she shared with Caitlin Herrmann. Kelsey Everley had a pair of aces.

Senior Jordan Wassmer did an outstanding job coming up with nine diges while Megan Redman had seven and Jessica Mason had six.

Junior Wendi Simpson overpowered the Lady Trojans as she registered six kills while Deana Lindauer had five to tie Kaylee Durchholz and Lisa Garris in that category.

Herrmann and Garris each had a solo block while Simpson and Herrmann each had a block assist.

“We have been on the upswing ever since the match at Tecumseh,” Gentil said.

“After that match, fans on both sides of the gym gave both teams a standing ovation for their efforts follow-

ing that match. That enthusiasm seems to have carried over.”

Gentil stressed his pleasure with his team for being able to develop the desire and focus to put the two teams away this week, each in three straight games.

At Princeton, the match was also one-sided as the final score was 25-13, 25-13, 25-10.

The Vikings were dominant as Reidford, Everley, and Hermann equally divided nine aces. Wassmer and Everley had four digs apiece and Redman had three. Reidford had 15 assists while Esche had three and Lindauer one.

Durchholz led the team in kills against the Lady Tigers as she had six. Simpson and Herrmann had four apiece and Herrman had a block.

Again, Simpson and Herrman each had a block assist.

“Last week’s matches against Tell City and Forest Park were nail-biters but is was good to see us pull them out and then come out with a little more confidence this week,” Gentil said. “Deana Lindauer and Kaylee Durchholz have been attacking real well for us. Wendi Simpson is really coming on with her hard hits and when she is on, she is hard to defend. The more weapons we have come tournament time, the better off we will be.”

The Viking reserves seem to have picked up their game, as well, defeating Princeton, Wood Memorial, and Tell City recently.

The reserve Vikings defeated Tell City 25-15, 25-15 on the strength of three aces from Megan Baehl and two digs from Brianna Brown.

Megan Durchholz and Tylie Robertson had three kills apiece while Courtney Crowder had eight assists in the 25-9, 25-10 win.

In action against Wood Memorial, Baehl had three aces and three digs while Ashley Schorr had a pair of kills. Durchholz had three assists.

The team was scheduled to travel to Mount Vernon tonight (Tuesday) to play the undefeated Big Eight Conference champion Wildcats. The team returns home on Thursday to face Gibson Southern in the final regular-season match of the year. The Gibson Southern match will also be senior night.

Wildcats regroup after setback, run record to 23-5

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon volleyball team wrapped up another successful week by taking two of three matches at Saturday’s Castle Invitational tournament.

The Lady Wildcats fell in three sets to the host Lady Knights 25-22, 17-25, 15-13, but then came back to take down Southridge 20-25, 25-15, 15-13 in a rematch of their battle at last month’s Mount Vernon invitational. Those contests were followed by a 25-5, 25-15 win over Mount Carmel.

“We had a good day,” coach Andi Allford said. “I was disappointed with the way we lost the Castle game, but that was just one of those things. We let that one get away.”

In tournament play, matches are determined on a best twoof-three format, with a third set going to 15 points (like the fifth set in regular contests. Mount Vernon was trailing 1413 in the third game against the Lady Knights when a Lady Wildcat blocked a volley that was deflected by a Castle player out of bounds, but Mount Vernon was called for touching it and instead of a side out with the Lady Cats getting the ball with a game-tying rally point, it was match point for Castle.

Allford was quick to add that she didn’t blame the officials for the loss, but she was disappointed that the Lady Cats had to lose that way and that her team could have been in a better position.

The victory over Southridge was a satisfying one since the Lady Raiders had dealt the Lady Wildcats a loss at the Mount Vernon invite.

The Lady Cats came out flat against Southridge in the first game, but they bounced back in the next two sets to pull out the win.

“Southridge gave us one of our four losses up to that time,” the coach explained. “So we went into that match wanting a little revenge.”

The team played very well in the first set against Mount Carmel, while Allford played everyone on the roster against the Lady Aces and added that everyone did a good job.

The Lady Cats came back from Castle with a 23-5 record on the season.

Meagan Montgomery registered six aces, while Carynn Koch turned in eight blocks and 12 kills to help lead the Lady Cats past visiting North on Thursday 25-7, 25-12, 25-15.

Martin had eight digs and 28 assists as Mount Vernon had to battle a North squad that seemed to get better with each set.

While the Lady Huskies may have scored more points as the match went on, Allford felt that her team couldn’t have played any better in thier first competition after clinching the school’s first Big Eight Conference title since 1983.

“This was the best we played this season,” she said. “We moved the ball well, our setters were getting the ball where it needed to be, and we just played a solid match.”

The Lady Wildcats are starting come together in time for the post season, Allford said, or at least she was hoping so.

The reserves won their match 25-22, 25-17.

Koch registered two aces, six blocks and 19 kills in the Lady Cats’ win over Washington which clinched the Big Eight Conference championship.

Wallis had seven digs, while Martin registered 33 assists Mount Vernon sophomore Brittany Wallis digs up for the Lady Cats, who finished with an undefeated conferthis serve during Thursday’s easy victories over visiting ence mark.

Bears, Johnson too much for Cats

By Steve Joos The Bears ate the Wildcats Thursday night at the EVSC West soccer field.

The biggest Bear of them all was a slightly built senior named Jake Johnson.

Johnson scored three goals as the Central Bears blanked the Mount Venom Wildcats 5-0 in the Evansville West Sectional opener.

“He ate us alive,” Wildcats’ coach Travis Kaiser said. “He just did whatever he wanted to, he was just all over the field. It didn’t matter who I marked on him, he just did whatever he wanted.

When you get near tournament time, there’s just nothing we could have done to stop him.”

That’s been a big problem for the Cats most of this season, according to the coach. A team with a very good player can take advantage of Mount Vernon’s injury-plagued defensive backfield and that’s what happened in the Sectional, as Ben Zickmund was inserted at stopper to fill in for Mount Vernon’s injured backfield, but Central’s stopper and

sweeper caused the Wildcats trouble.

“We got out of sorts,” Kaiser said.

“We were already disorganized in the first 15-30 seconds and we just didn’t put enough pressure on the ball and just too many errors in the back here on the ball. It just happens. We’ve been scored on in the first 10 seconds as well. Kudos to Central, they just came out flying.”

While Johnson was the main killer, adding an assist to go along with his three goals, Kyle Fettinger may have stolen the show by putting the Bears up early—very early.

As the fans were just getting settled into their seats, Fettinger was taking a pass from Johnson that outside midfielder Alex Murillo started and then burying it in the back of the net from 20 yards out a mere 15 seconds into the game.

Johnson was just getting started with the assist, but it would take a while for him to connect again.

The 1-0 lead held until Johnson scored off a pass from Luis Montoya with 3:32 left in the first half, putting

the Bears in front 2-0.

That was something else the Wildcats were trying to avoid, Kaiser said.

“We were first to the ball,” the coach explained. “That was kind of a soft goal we gave up. That was the worst two things we could have done. We gave up a goal in the first few minutes and we gave up a goal in the last few minutes.”

Concentration was a big problem at the beginning and the Central pressure was too much for them to overcome.

In the second half, the Cats were able to contain Central for a little bit longer, but Johnson connected off a pass from Josh Morgenstern seven minutes into the half, giving the Bears a 3-0 lead, then he scored again with 24:33 left in the game to complete the hat trick.

David Anslinger closed out the scoring for the Bears with 16:11 to go.

The loss ended Mount Vernon’s season with a 3-12 record. Kaiser told his team after the game to consider the Wildcat sophomore Torsten Maier controls this dribpositive aspects of the season and get ble down the field in the early minutes of the boys’ openready for next season. ing round sectional game held at DC fields on Thursday.

Lady Rappites say so long to seniors

By Steve Joos New Harmony volleyball coach Emily Pruitt was pleased with the way the reserve team played Tuesday night.

The varsity? Well, not so much.

The Lady Rappites dropped a 25-7, 25-3, 25-18 decision to the visiting South Knox Lady Spartans Tuesday night in a contest where the coach felt the Lady Rappites may not have been fully focused, at least in the first two sets.

“My varsity girls, I don’t think their heads were in the game,” Pruitt said. “I think maybe they were worried more about senior night and I don’t think they did anything that I asked them to.”

Pruitt admitted that nerves among the seniors and the realization that their high school careers are over may have played a role in the Lady Rappites’ troubles, even though she felt that the team could be competitive in the upcoming Sectional.

After struggling in the first two sets, the Lady Rappites caught on in the third game and made it competitive.

“I think they finally realized that they weren’t listening to me and that they could Jodan Fisher jostles for position against a Wood Memorial defender during the beat this team (South Knox),” North Posey Vikings’ 7-1 win over the Trojans in the first round of the Princeton Sec- Pruitt said. “I don’t know tional. The Vikings were upended by Gibson Southern on Saturday by a score of 3-0. what happened to this team, in all honesty, I don’t know Photo by Dave Pearce what was going through their minds.”

The Lady Spartans took advantage of a number of long runs, as the Lady Rappites struggled in the first two sets, the coach added.

New Harmony had been playing fairly well over the

Morgan Mathews and Kelsey Owen show the aggression that has helped New Harmony to be optimistic. Photo by Dave Pearce course of the season, Pruitt said, but Tuesday’s contest was the team’s first really one-sided loss. Hopefully, they have it out of their system, she added.

Tuesday’s grime was the final home-court appearance for six seniors, including Sarah Smotherman, Anna Busler, Samantha Golden, Brianna Suttles, Silver Nelson and Winter Nelson. Pruitt appreciated their talent and felt that they would be successful in their future endeavors.

South Knox also took the reserve match 25-11, 25-18,

but the coach was pleased with the reserve team’s efforts.

“I think (the reserves) played awesome,” Pruitt said.

“They were talking, they were moving their feet, they were communicating, doing all the little things. They are still a young group and have a lot to learn, but that’s to be expected I think.”

The Lady Rappite reserves dropped two matches in a recent tournament at Tecumseh, losing to Gibson Southern 25-17, 25-19, and Pike Central 25-19, 25-15.

JUST ASK US, WE MIGHT HAVE IT.

Just how long has it been since Mount Vernon and Gibson Southern played a football game against each other?

The Titans dropped out of the Big Eight Conference after the 1991 season and played the Cats in 1992 before joining the Pocket Athletic Conference.

Surely the two teams have met since then, haven’t they?

Actually, it’s been 10 years.

The Cats will host the Titans for their Class 3A Sectional opener on Oct. 23, according to the draw released by the Indiana High School Athletic Association Sunday night in the first meeting between the two teams since Seth Rainey and his teammates ran over the Titans 35-0 in the 2000 season opener.

North Posey’s first postseason opponent

mores held a commanding, 44-24 lead over the Redbirds.

The 44 first half points were the most against ISU in a conference game in a half.

59 points are the second most points scored against a conference school.

The win also marks the first time since 2004 that the Sycamores have won backto-back games and the first time the Sycamores have started 3-0 at home since 2004.

The 3-2 start by the Sycamores is the best start since 2004 when they started 4-1.

The Sycamores will continue its home stand next Saturday at Memorial Stadium when they play host to Missouri State. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m.

North Posey High School was well-represented in Terre Haute at Indiana State on Saturday. Cory Little kicked six extra points and a field goal while freshmen Jacob Sapp and Bryce Pearson enjoyed being a part of a rebuilding program.

In front of 8,294 people at Memorial Stadium the Sycamores (3-2, 1-1 MVFC) scored their second straight Homecoming win in convincing fashion 59-24 over the Redbirds of Illinois State (3-3, 2-2 MVFC).

The first half was a showcase of offense by both teams and the Sycamores took little time in showing off its offense as junior quarterback Ronnie Fouch threw a 40-yard pass to senior wide receiver Bryant Kent less than four minutes into the game.

Senior running back Darrius Gates then extended the Sycamore lead to 14-0 off a three yard run.

The Redbirds began to threaten the Sycamore lead, however, the drive stalled out and the Redbirds had to settle to for a 50-yard field goal to cut the lead to 14-3.

The offense of the Sycamores then took over and never looked back as the Sycamores scored four more touchdowns and a field goal to end the first half and set a new school record for first half yardage with 448 yards of total offense.

At half time the Syca-

North Posey, Mount Vernon rivalry is long, spirited

By Jordan Fisher As many North Posey students already know, Mount Vernon High School is a very big rival when it comes to sports.

Last year, North Posey dominated Mount Vernon in nearly every sport. In football, the Vikings overpowered the Wildcats 43-0 at Mount Vernon, and North Posey had two victories in basketball over the Wildcats. Softball was the same way with our Lady Vikes defeating the Wildcats 11-1. That’s just some of last year’s results. The history between the two rivals is very rich and close in the overall record for many different sports.

Viking football is very popular to watch here at North Posey. Many students, alumni and parents attend the games for pure enjoyment of watching some classic high school football. One of the most popular games to attend during the season is the annual game when the Vikings face off against the Wildcats. This game is known as “The Battle for Posey County.” The rivalry dates back to 1960, when the rivalry first began; the Wildcats currently lead the head-to-head series with a record of 26-18 (according to AlmanacSports.com).

The Wildcats won this year’s battle.

However, Viking football is not the only sport that fans come to watch. The Viking’s boys’ soccer team is leading their overall head-to-head record with a record of 5-3-2 (WL-T) against the rival Wildcats. Their series dates back to September 24, 2002, when the teams decided to leave their mark on the rivalry. The games are normally really close and sometimes can get a little vicious when it comes to the two teams facing off.

The North Posey boys’ tennis teams walked over Mount Vernon the last three years, including twice this year. In a sport such as tennis, where sportsmanship is needed to have correct scoring, it makes the matches even tougher to win.

The rivalry games draw large crowds that make the games loud and intense every second they play.

The girl’s sports are just as competitive when it comes to our rivalry. For the girls’ soccer team, the Wildcats lead the overall series with a record of 4-3-1 against our Lady Vikes.

The teams were to play in the first round of the sectional Tuesday (Today). The games are always close and very rough games to play with a lot of fouling and perhaps sometimes a little dirty play involved. The girls’ basketball team last year

Wildcat reserves enjoying undefeated success

By Steve Joos So, what kind of season is the Mount Vernon reserve football team having?

A very good one so far.

The Wildcat reserves took an undefeated record into Monday’s game at Mater Dei, with their second close win in a row last week at Boonville 22-20.

“We’ve been actually phenomenal across the board,” coach Justin Nelson said. “I have a great group of kids, from the freshmen all the way through the sophomores who’ve been playing.”

The offensive and defensive lines are where the team’s success begins, Nelson said. The reserves also have a great quarterback in freshman Craig Issac and a strong backfield that stepped up to help Mount Vernon rally past Washington in a recent game.

“It’s hard to get a quarterback like Craig, as a freshman, who plays so well,” Nelson said. “With the line giving him time and the backs doing what they’re supposed to be doing as well.”

An illness forced Isaac to sit out last week’s game at Boonville, but Ethan VanZant stepped in to throw a pair of touchdown passes and run for a third.

The sophomore signal-caller connected with Michael Rynkiewich and Brian Koch for touchdowns against the Pioneers. Rynkiewich led the ground game as well.

Defensively, the reserves have been shutting the opposition offenses down, Nelson said, adding that the defense stepped in the game against Washington and held the Hatchets while Mount Vernon rallied from a two-touchdown deficit with five minutes to go in the game to pull out the win.

“Our main back is Michael Rynkiewich and he is one of the hardest-running kids I’ve ever coached,” Nelson said.

“Receiver-wise, we’re pretty solid with Will Russell, Brian Koch and Ethan VanZant.”

J.T. Silver is another prominent member of the receiving corps. Nelson said that they work well in all phases of the game, blocking and catching the ball while doing what’s needed at the right time.

The team concept is also important to Mount Vernon’s success, Nelson said.

“They’re an 11,” the coach explained. “There are no ‘I’s’ on the team and that’s why they’ve been successful.”

The win over Boonville follows a comeback victory at Washington where defensive assistant Curt Mort stacked the defense eight in a box to shut down the potent Washington ground game. That, in turn, gave the offense enough possessions to erase the gap and win the game.

“You can’t win a game unless all 11 guys, offense, defense and special teams, everybody’s got to be on the same page, workings as a team,” Nelson said. “Otherwise, you’re not going to come out with a ‘W’”.

Nelson thinks that the best may be yet to come for the reserves, as they move up to the varsity, adding that the reserves run many of the same plays the varsity runs offensively and defensively.

Many of those reserves are also getting experience on the varsity with playing time later in the second half after the varsity has taken a comfortable lead.

That’s important the coach explained, since the reserves won’t have the varsity jitters that much next season, when they go under the lights and it matters more.

blew out the Wildcats with a 61-30 victory on the road. In softball, the Lady Vikings dominated the Wildcats 11-1, just adding insult to injury for the Wildcats.

The Wildcats have owned the Vikings on the volleyball court this year but the Lady Vikings finished ahead of Mount Vernon in the golf sectional, despite this being only the third year for the Vikings to field a team.

Every time North Posey and Mount Vernon face each other whether it is on the gridiron, the court, or the field, there is always a high level of competitiveness. Sometimes this competitiveness could lead to altercations.

North Posey and Mount Vernon have been rivals dating all the way back to 1960. Their rivalry is filled with rich tradition, history and the want to defeat the opposing rival. That is what makes the North Posey-Mount Vernon so special and so much fun to watch.

With just a little over 1 minute in the game the Rangers scored on an 82-yard touchdown pass and run by Alec Hassfurther on a nifty pass from Trent Bayer.

The PAT kick by Kelvin Bardhi made the score 7 – 0 in favor of the Rangers. “That play woke us up,” said Coach Mike Kuhn. “We should have never let it happen, of course, but it was one of those good and lucky plays that Forest Park is becoming known for,” he added. The Vikings quickly struck back with a touchdown of their own with 6:48 seconds left in the first quarter on a 28-yard pass from Alec

Werry to Jacob Bender. The PAT pass attempt was no good and Forest Park was still ahead 7 – 6. North Posey was able to avoid being burned by more Forest Park passes because of the inability of the Rangers to catch them. Bayer fired many aerials at Ranger receivers who promptly dropped them. “They had a hard time catching the ball,” Coach Patrick Rose said. “We felt like we were playing very good defense and were hustling to the ball well, but I am glad they had the ‘dropsies’ early!” he added. The Vikings struck again with 2:05 remaining in the quarter on a 6-yard touchdown run by Dylan Wright. Once again the PAT attempt failed making the score 12 – 7 in favor of the Vikings.

There was no scoring in the second quarter as North Posey made numerous mistakes on offense that prevented them from getting first down. Luckily, the defense made many plays including two great stands against the Rangers inside their own territory. Leading the defense were Tyler Adkins, Nick Heldt, Darren O’Risky, Clint Cox, and Aaron Hensley. As the half ended, the Vikings were expecting to make some adjustments to get this game securely under the belts.

“At halftime we made some important defensive adjustments,”said Coach Rose. But the Vikings, who re-

ceived the kickoff to start the second half, seemed to take his adjustments to heart on offense. Forest Park pinned North Posey down to the 20-yard line on a touchback as the their kickoff sailed out of the endzone. The Vikings then drove 80 yards on four plays on two great long runs by Eric O’Risky, and one by Dylan Wright. To cap off the extraordinary drive, Alec Werry plunged one yard on a QB sneak with 8:53 left in the quarter. He then hit Taylor Brown in the endzone for the two-point conversion making the score 20 – 7 in favor of North Posey. Four minutes later the Vikings struck again for their last touchdown on a 56-yard TD pass from Werry to Mitchell Kuhn. Werry’s two-point conversion run made the score 28 – 7. The Viking comeback was complete.

No team scored in the final period of plays as the Vikings substituted freely. In that final period offensive linemen Nick Heldt, Trey Staples, Gary Martin, Clint Cox, Aaron Hensely, Tyler Adkins, and Dallas Glover opened up huge holes for running backs Darren O’Risky, Dylan Wright, and Eric O’Risky. “We drove the ball deep inside the five yard line with less than a minute to go,” Coach Kuhn said, “but, we decided not to throw for a final TD and failed to get the TD on a run to the left.”

Terre Haute South takes out Vikes, moves to finals

By Steve Joos It may not have taken the best in the state to beat the North Posey boys’ tennis team, but the squad that knocked the Vikings out of the Vincennes Regional Tuesday will be one of the last four standing.

The Vikings knew they were in a tough meet Tuesday, as they were eliminated by Terre Haute South 5-0.

Nick Scheller at least pushed his opponent to a third set before he dropped a 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 decision to Cam Crawford at first singles. Scheller held a 5-3 lead in the third set before fatigue took its toll.

First doubles was the only other spot which came close to being competitive, at least on the score sheet, as the Vikings’ Ty Butler and Dillon Davenport lost to Jordan Kelsey and Neelay Purohit 6-2, 6-3.

The other three spots were all Terre Haute South, as Austin Foster toppled Dylan Krohn 6-1, 6-1 at second singles, a score that was duplicated at third singles, where Torrey Fox edged Alex Wade, and first doubles, where Travis Rubey and Chris Terelzy defeated Brandon Spahn and Eric Wargel.

After whitewashing North Posey, the Braves blanked Vincennes Rivet 5-0 Wednesday to win the Regional and edged Bloomington South 3-2 to capture Saturday’s Jasper Semistate.

Six Vikings have earned either a spot on the All-Pocket Athletic Conference team or an honorable mention after the All-PAC squad was announced last week.

Scheller and Butler each earned all-conference honors, while Krohn, Davenport, Spahn and Wargel received honorable mentions.

All six helped North Posey to a once-beaten Pocket Athletic Conference record, and a 17-2 season record and a Mount Vernon Sectional championship. The Vikings also claimed a three-peat of the Washington Invitational.

Forest Park had three All-PAC picks, while Gibson Southern had two. Nathan Bromm, Jake Meyer and Marcus Beckmann represent the Rangers on the honor squad, while Trent Wallace and Preston May are the All-PAC Titans.

Anajan Kshynab of Tell City and Chantz Pearson of Pike Central round out the team.

– 6 NP 4th Quarter: No scoring Selected Defensive Stats: Mitchell Kuhn 4 tackles, 2 assists, 1 sack; Darren O’Risky 3 tackles 1 assist; Cameron O’Brien 3 tackles; Jacob Bender 2 tackles, 2 assists; Dylan Wright 1 assist 2 fumble recoveries; Tyler Adkins 3 tackles 1 sack; Nick Heldt 2 tackles 2 assists; Tyler Higginson 1 tackle; Bailey Porter 3 assists; Aaron Hensley 1 tackle; Taylor Brown 2 tackles, 1 assist, 1 interception Game summary: The visiting North Posey JV football Vikings took advantage of several Marksmen miscues to beat Tell City at home 49 – 6 Monday night. Three of the four Marksmen offensive possessions ended in fumbles that were cashed in for TDs by the Vikings. The first fumble came just minutes into the game as Dylan Wright recovered it setting up a 7 – yard TD run

by Eric O’Risky with 8:55 remaining in the period. A penalty on the first Viking 2 – pt. conversion try thwarted a PAT pass attempt making the score 6 – 0 in favor of North Posey.

One minute later the Vikings scored again after Wright recovered another fumble this time in the endzone. The two-point conversion pass from Alec Werry to Jacob Bender made the score 14 – 0 North Posey. The Werry-to-Bender connection was once again tapped with 4:42 seconds remaining in the quarter as the Sophomore receiver ran down a 43 – yard pass from the Sophomore quarterback. The conversion run failed making the score 20 – 0 Vikings. The final scores of the quarter came when Wright made a 43 – yd TD run with just 1:24 left in the quarter. The conversion pass from Werry to Mitchell Kuhn made the score 28 – 0 in favor of the Vikings as the quarter ended.

During the second quarter North Posey continued to score as Cameron O’Brien hauled in a pass from Werry and E. O’Risky ran the two-point conversion. The score was now 36 – 0 as the Viking rout continued. Finally, the Marksmen lit up their end of the scoreboard with a nifty 70-yard run and catch by Jacob Schroeder from quarterback Chris Schaefer along the home team’s sideline. “We couldn’t see it clearly from our sideline, but we found out later that Dylan (Wright) knocked Alec (Werry) off of Schaefer as he made his turn after making that catch,” said Coach Patrick Rose. “Alec was the defender on that play and would have made the tackle,” he added. Werry once again performed major roles in the Viking win playing starting quarterback, punter, kicker, reserve cornerback, and receiver. He also kicked a PAT and was 7-for-8 passing with well over 200 yards and no interceptions. The final points of the half were scored on a 38 – yard Werry touchdown pass to Mitchell Kuhn with just 29 seconds remaining. The PAT conversion pass failed making the score 42 – 6 at halftime.

In the third quarter Dylan Wright once again put the Vi-

kings on the scoreboard with a 3 – yard plunge into the endzone. Werry’s PAT kick made the final score 49 – 6. “We were very proud of our effort,” said Coach Mike Kuhn. “We had a long bus ride on a school night and the kids came to play,” he added. Everyone played many quality minutes as North Posey substituted frequently in the second half and used many substitutes in various positions. Defensively the Vikings were led by Dylan Wright who had two fumble recoveries (one in the endzone), Mitchell Kuhn, who had four tackles, two assists, and one sack, Darren O’Risky who had three tackles and one assist and Tyler Adkins who had three tackles and one sack. Taylor Brown had two tackles one assist and killed the final Tell City attempted drive with an interception.

The JV Vikings are now 3 – 4 on the season and were next play Evansville North on Monday, October 11.

Mickey and Molly beating to a different drum in New Harmony Mickey Grimm and Molly Felder of New Harmony have released a lot of “positive energy,” to use one of Molly’s expressions, throughout their town since moving there in December 2002. Together, the husband and wife team have helped to raise money and spirits.

Mickey is perhaps most well known for his long drum roll at the Church Street Coffee House last October to raise money for repairing the town clock. At that fundraiser, he set the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest drum roll at 5 hrs. 20 min.— and brought in about $2,000 for the clock.

A professional drummer, Mickey still plays at times with Over the Rhine, a group that will join Molly’s group, Swan Dive, on a fiveday Southwestern American train tour this November 5-10. He spends most of his time now, however, with students, both youth and adult. In keeping with his musical interests, he leads a volunteer drum group for youth ages 8 through high school. They recently donated their time and talent to the Rock Around the Clock party in celebration of the now working town clock.

In addition, Mickey is a Cub Scout Master and serves on the New Harmony Bicentennial Planning

Commission.

Just a couple of weekends ago, New Harmony benefited from the town wide real estate open house, the brainchild of Molly, her sister Laura Hudgins and friends Laura Spradley and Sally Roth. The women were joined by Andrew Wilson, and together they generated the support to make the idea a reality in just one and a half weeks.

Regularly, Molly offers free chair yoga every other Friday at the Charles Ford Home, an assisted living center for women.

Married for 14 years, Mickey and Molly are active in fundraisers for New Harmony School, or NHS, where their 9-year-old son Grafton is in 3rd grade.

NHS classes benefit as well from their talks about music and the arts.

“We just feel fortunate to live in such a wonderful place,” Mickey says. “There are so many great people who do so much for each other. They’re so genuinely kind and generous. We’re just happy to be here. We’re happy for all of our really good neighbors.”
