Neighbor helps police solve as many as five burglaries By Dave Pearce On Wednesday afternoon, October 12, 2011, Indiana State Police arrested Keegen Hayes, 21, of Cynthiana, after he allegedly broke into a Cynthiana residence earlier in the day. “Mr. Hayes has been arrested and charged with the burglary and is being held in lieu of $20,000 cash bond,” Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers said. “He is scheduled for a hearing on Monday (yesterday) however, the investigation is ongoing.” Clowers and Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth indicated that Hayes could have been involved in as many as four or five burglaries in the Northern Posey area.

said Hayes could be charged in the other burglaries as the investigation continues. Clowers indicated that again, it was a tip from a concerned citizen which led to the arrest. A recent Neighborhood Watch program began in Poseyville just this week that will include the Cynthiana area. This arrest could serve as an impetus for such a group. “A concerned citizen, an individual who was aware of his neighborhood and the surroundings, maade a call when they saw something suspicious,” Clowers said, stating that the arrest comes on the heels of the Neighborhood Watch meeting. “It is so important that citizens are involved in their communities.”
Clowers said that the Posey County Sheriff’s Department along with the Indiana State Police responded quickly to the tip and a search warrant was taken to Posey Circuit Court Judge Brent Almon. Almon signed the warrant and evidence was found that led to the arrest.” According to Clowers, several area arrests have been made to help solve burglaries in the northern end of the county. Some of those individuals have been charged with Class C felonies and those charges will probably be handled in juvenile court. But Clowers said that some of those charges, despite the fact that the defendants were juveniles at the time the acts were com-
mitted, does not keep the juveniles from facing potential jail time. As for the Hayes charges, at approximately 12:12 p.m., on Wednesday, Indiana State Police and Posey County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to 9775 SR 65 in Cynthiana after a concerned citizen called 911 reporting a possible burglary in progress at his neighbor’s residence. The concerned citizen informed police of the vehicle description and a license plate number before the burglary suspect left the residence. When police arrived they noticed the kitchen window had been pried open and numerous pieces of

Poseyville area launches great Neighborhood Watch program
By Valerie Werkmeister Poseyville has recently had a rude awakening to the sign of the times. An increased number of thefts and burglaries has residents and business owners saying, ‘enough is enough.’ Poseyville Town Marshall Doug Saltzman stated the cold hard facts to a packed house at Poseyville Community Center during the first ever Neighborhood Watch meeting last Wednesday, October 12. “Lock your car. Lock your door. It’s 2011, not 1950. It’s just the way life is now. I don’t like it. You don’t like it, it’s just got to be done,” Saltzman advised. Law enforcement, including Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth and Posey County Prosecutor TraNeeley Elaine Watson, daughter of Pastor Matt and Melissa Watson of Mount Vernon, takes only a vis Clowers were also on hand to second to proudly display her “bunny” on her face as she plays around in the bounce house as one of the Continued on Page A3 activities at the 5th annual Harmonie Craft Fair on Saturday afternoon.

By Dave Pearce A Poseyville woman who admitted she stole money from funds that had been raised to help a victim of bacterial meningitis was sentenced on Tuesday, Oct. 11 in Posey Circuit Court. Mary Gish, 44, pled guilty to theft, a class D felony, said Posey County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jonathan Parkhurst. Gish pled guilty Mary Gish to the theft of money from a special bank account that had been established to help pay the medical expenses of a Kendra Creek, who was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. According to Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers, the sentencing hearing was very compelling as Creek confronted Gish with a written statement in the courtroom. “We had testimony from the victim. Everyone knows Kendra and her story,” Clowers said. “She is one of the sweetest, most genuine and intelligent young ladies that you will ever meet. She is a very determined and special person. She is an inspiration. She read a powerful letter.” Clowers said he met with the family before the hearing and her father testified as well as a family friend before Kendra read the prepared statement to the judge. “This was an ‘open’ plea agreement, which meant there was no agreement by the state as to limitation of sentencing,” Clowers said. “She basically went in and said ‘I plead guilty’.” She faced six months to three years imprisonment for the crimes to which she confessed, a Class D Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker speaks as grant writer Debbie Felony Theft. Bennett-Stearnsmen looks on during Monday’s announcement. “We argued that not only the defendant violate the trust of this wonderful young lady and her family, she also violated the trust of everyone who donated a penny to help Kendra fight this illness,” Clowers said. “She violated the trust of anyone in the future who thinks about donating to help Kendra or anyone else, for that matter. I think in this case, you see the best and the worst of what our county has to offer. A wonderful brave young lady and the wonderful people who rallied around to support her with the time, energy and money that they put forth to help Kendra and her family. And the worst being an individual who is so selfish that she would take from a family that needs every cent to help their daughter. It was truly a heinous act.” For that act, Gish was sentenced to one year in prison followed by six months of community correction.
$8 million project coming to Mount Vernon Riverfront’s Phase II to bring amphitheatre, life to riverfront

Story and photo by Eric Morlock Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker unveiled a proposed new $8 million development, “The Landing,” Monday morning at the Mount Vernon Riverfront. The Landing will consist of 46 senior housing opportunities and six condominiums that will feature a view of the Ohio River. The units are described by Mayor Tucker as “high quality with an emphasis on energy efficiency and ‘Green’ design.” The ground floor of the three-floor design features open spaces that will provide opportunities for existing and new retail and commercial businesses to relocate to an area that is becoming more and more attractive. “We are excited about the opportunity to promote economic development and outstanding housing opportunities for seniors and new residents relocating to Mount Vernon,” said co-developer Jim Higgs. “Due to the mayor’s foresight in planning for riverfront improvements and the demolition of the silos, we believe this is the ideal location to invest in the community.” According to Tucker, this development will bring excitement to the area by using Mount Vernon’s best natural resource, the Ohio River. “The proposed 52 households and retail areas will create a vibrant new center of activity on what is now vacant ground across from the proposed new Riverfront Amphitheatre. It is my desire to offer an appealing option for new residents to promote growth in Mount Vernon.” According to a release provided by Tucker, several jobs will be created

door Saturn was parked by my neighbors house for two hours this morning. Saltzman encouraged the audience to become familiar with their neighborhood, their neighbors and their schedules. It will help when identifying suspicious vehicles and suspicious behavior. If there is a suspicous person, pay attention to their height, weight, hair color, clothing, their race, scars or tattoos to help provide the most amount of details to police. Oeth informed the crowd that he heard and remembered their concerns while he was campaigning. “One of the things I heard when I was running for office was that you never saw a patrol car in your neighborhood and that you wanted more of a connection with your law enforcement,” he said. He has increased the number of reserve officers and has instituted subdivision patrols. Officers are routinely seen coasting slowly through neighborhoods and often stop to talk with folks. “My office is getting calls from people telling me they saw the officers and ask what is going on. These guys that are participating in the neighborhood patrols are coming back and teling me, ‘man this is great, we’ve got people inviting us in their homes, inviting us to dinner or giving us a sandwich and an iced tea. We knew this kind of thing would happen and we hoped it would. It’s a great resource for us to get to know the people and hear the things that are happening,” Oeth said. There are only two deputies that work per shift throughout the county, so neighborhood watch pro-

Neighborhood Watch, from Page 1A help educate the public on how to be more vigilant and what to do to protect themselves against theives. The list included keeping outbuildings locked,locking vehicles, cataloging valuables such as cameras, computers and guns and making a list of serial numbers to help prove ownership. Making a videotape of valuables can also come in handy if a theft does occur. Locking windows on your home can also help deter burglars. Keep ladders put away so that thieves don’t use them to their advantage. When going on vacation or out of town, do not post on social networking websites such as Facebook, that you are leaving. Theives use that information to target houses they want to rob. Before leaving on vacation stop the mail and newspaper deliveries, inform neighbors or law enforcement of the dates you will be leaving and returning, put lights on an auto-timer and ask neighbors to set the trash out. Oeth advised that neighbors helping neighbors will be a big advantage towards the success of a neighborhood watch program. He stated that he had just returned from Cynthiana where six home burglaries had been solved that evening thanks in part to a suspicious neighbor. Knowing when to contact police to report suspicious activity is also key. Law enforcement officials encouraged the audience to call 911 even if they are uncertain they should do so. Larry Robb, Director of Posey County EMA stated, “If you have to stop and think about if you call the police, then you should just call.” The non-emergency number to Posey County dispatch is (812) 838-1320. Saltzman and Oeth both encouraged citizens to call the number if they ever have questions. Citizens were also encouraged to call to inform police when they are going out of town. Police will know to watch for unusual activity if they are aware the homeowner is out of town. Citizens should make a point to look at license plates on suspicious vehicles. Get the make and model of the vehicle and any other identifying marks such as a dented fender or rusted bumper. Giving vague descriptions as in, ‘I sawa red car parked on the street,’ isn’t as helpful as stating a red, four-

grams like the one starting in Poseyville are encouraged. Oeth explained that if a deputy is on a call at Hovey Lake and another is in Cynthiana it’s difficult to get to some calls in a timely manner. Clowers commended the work the sheriff’s department has done and explained how his office is working to make repeat offenders more accountable by filing them as habitual offenders. This means that criminals who commit a third felony after having two separate, unrelated felony convictions, will receive additional punishment. Clowers and Oeth also explained the difficult position they are put in when dealing with juveniles. Posey County does not have a juvenile detention facility. However, Clowers does have a solution to juveniles who want to do ‘big boy crimes.’ He has already waived two 17-year-old juveniles to 18 so that they can charged as adults. He recently learned it is the first time in the past decade this has been done. “We’re trying to put some teeth into juvenile sentencing,” Clowers said. Clowers encouraged citizens to contact the prosecutor’s office if they have questions or concerns. When the audience was allowed to ask questions,
one person asked if parents are receptive to police when they learn their child has been caught. Oeth and Saltzman explained that more often than not, parents do not believe their child has done anything wrong. They lamented that if more parents would take charge with disciplining their children, it would make their job a lot easier. Karen Blaylock asked what to do when a group of teens block the middle of the road and refuse to move when cars need to pass. Saltzman explained that drivers should ask them to move and if they don ‘t comply, the driver should get around them and call the police. He added that citizens need to be ready to identify the teens so that police can cite them. In some cases, citizens need to be prepared to go to court and not be in fear of retaliation. “It’s your neighborhood, you’ve got to be willing to put forth a little effort,” Saltzman said. Additional packets with information about the Neighborhood Watch program will be available at the town hall. There is also a Facebook page called Neighborhood Watch for Poseyville and surrounding communities with additional information.

Baking to end hunger twice as sweet in October Last year, nearly 3,200 individuals held bake sales nationwide raising more than $700,000 to benefit Share Our Strength’s Great American Bake Sale® —funds the organization uses to connect children and their families with much needed hungerrelief resources. According to Share Our Strength, $1 can help connect a child facing hunger with up to 10 meals. This year bakers across the country have—
again—been raising money, and the stakes just got a bit sweeter, thanks to corporate sponsor Duncan Hines®. For the month of October, Pinnacle Foods-owned Duncan Hines is matching each dollar raised for the Great American Bake Sale, (up to $50,000 through October 31, 2011). Additionally, the company hosted the 1 Million Cupcake Challenge, in which they recently awarded five trips,
complete with red-carpet seating at the 63rd Primetime Emmy® Awards in Hollywood to bakers who hosted bake sales for Share Our Strength and baked with Duncan Hines. “We’re thrilled to have Duncan Hines offering this additional incentive
for our bakers,” says Amy Crowell, director for the Great American Bake Sale. “It’s the perfect enticement right before the busy holiday baking season. What better way to practice your holiday baking skills in October and raise money to help hungry children at

There is a new, and lovely, public bulletin board at the library, donated, made, and installed by Curt Schmitt. A picture doesn’t really do it justice; it needs to be seen in the context of the building to be appreciated. Individuals and organizations in the community with an upcoming event to promote are welcome to bring flyers to the library, where we will be happy to post them for you. The Working Men’s Institute is now operating on “Winter Hours,” which means that it remains open on Tuesday through Thursday until 7 p.m. Our complete weekly hours of operation are: Sunday: 1 to 4 p.m., Monday: Closed Tuesday through Thursday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday through Saturday: 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Working Men’s Institute Lecture Series for 2011 wraps up this year on November 15 at 7 p.m., when the Rev. Dr. Duncan Newcomer
presents “The Education of Abraham Lincoln.” Lincoln’s schoolroom education took place less than 50 miles east of New Harmony in the area of Pigeon Creek and Gentryville, in what was then Perry - now Spencer - County. Although he was actually in school formally for a little over a year, Lincoln somehow obtained an education that enabled him to lead this country through its greatest crisis. In the same years that the religious and then the rationalist Utopians were creating educational experiments in New Harmony, Lincoln went to “Blab School” and read books. What else went into the education of Abraham Lincoln? If you’re interested in finding out, plan on attending this lecture, which is free and open to the public. The quarterly meeting of the Membership of the Working Men’s Institute will take place this evening at 7 p.m. and is open to the public.
Tercera Club News The October meeting of the Tercera Club was held at the home of Katie Hirsch with Murlea Maier and Mary Beth Williams serving as co-hostesses. After enjoying a delicious chili soup prepared by Mary Beth, the members were treated to a ghost story presented by Becky Nottingham. Murlea then read the poem “When the Frost is on the Pumpkin” before President Jone Maier called the meeting to order. The Tercera Flea Market/ Bake Sale that was held on Saturday, September 24, during Poseyville’s Autumnfest earned the club over $350 despite the inclement weather. On October 1, the club also participated in the Poseyville Town-Wide Yard Sale and raised almost $450. These funds will once again enable the club to provide scholarships to North Posey seniors in addition to funding art awards. Ramona Gatewood, June Heilman, and Katie Hirsch
volunteered to serve on the 2012 Program Committee. The 2012 slate of officers was filled when President Jone Maier, Vice President Mary Jane Kight, Treasurer Sue Wassmer, and Historian Sherry Harvey agreed to keep their present offices. Chris Kellams agreed to accept the office of Secretary. Members donated $33 to the Food Pantry. At each meeting members will have the opportunity to donate to this worthy cause by either donating money or non-perishable food items. Member Sandy Krietenstein works at God’s Storehouse located at St. Peter’s UCC, which will receive the donations. Members voted to donate $50 to each of the four North Posey Schools Nurses’ Funds to be used at the nurses’ discretion. A thank you note was received from Gayle Blunier, Community Table Treasurer, thanking the Tercera members for preparing and
serving the September 29 meal. The members will be preparing and serving the Community Table meal again on December 29 with a tentative menu of chicken casserole, jello salad, and dessert. The next meeting will be a Holiday Party and Auction and will begin at 6 p.m. on November 9 at the home of Sandy Krietenstein. The proceeds from the auction will fund the club’s scholarships and other community projects. Members will be given the ages of children from North Elementary and South Terrace to purchase Christmas gifts for at this meeting. Tercera welcomes all women who are interested in participating in this civic organization by calling one of the members and letting them know of your interest. You may call Jone Maier, President, at 851-3546, or Vice President Mary Jane Kight at 962-7337.

one. He was arrested, beaten, and jailed. But he sang, he didn’t sigh. He witnessed, he didnt’t whine. The Phillippian jailer and his household got converted. Soon Paul established the first church in Europe. Why don’t you turn your typhoon into a tailwind and speed the gospel on its way.
What is Mt. Zion General Baptist Church? By: Pastor Rick S. Sellers, Mt. Zion GBC Mt. Zion GBC is a church which first got its start in 1870 in the Springfield community. The church later moved to its current location and began a long tenure of service in the Oliver community in 1876. The details of those early days can be found in the directory which was created in 1988 and other documents as well. Rather than focus only on the history let’s consider how this history laid the foundation for the ministry which God continues to bless today. The founding fathers of Mt. Zion held to the belief that Jesus Christ died to give eternal life to all who will believe in Him. “He [Jesus], by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.” (Hebrews 2:9 NKJV) It was through Jesus Christ that all men were given access to God. In John 14:6 (NKJV) we read, “Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” And in Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV) the church is given her commission. “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. It is with this firm belief that Mt. Zion GBC continues to ex-
ist today, and it is with this foundation the church will launch into to work God has called us to do in our community. At the time when I first arrived at Mt. Zion the church had just gone through some tumultuous times and in the years since we have experienced some rocky moments, but we learned that we can never permit these moments to take our eyes off the commission of the church. God has a work for us to do and that work is clearly and unequivocally spelled out in the Scriptures. My job as pastor is to equip the people to accomplish the work of the church. The church is to make an unwavering commitment to reach everyone within our sphere of influence with the message of Jesus Christ. Will all do this? No, my heart has been broken many times due to the loss of people who just could not see the vision which God has given. Jesus also experienced this when the multitudes of disciples walked away, leaving only a select handful to carry out His mission, the mission of the Church. My commitment first of all is to love the Lord with all my heart, might and strength. My second commitment is my family. This is an area which I have not been very successful but I am working on it. Finally, my commitment is to see our church, Mt. Zion GBC, be true to the Great Commission. There has always been a strong “family connection” at our church which has been a strong drawing card for many people. When new people enter our doors, they discover an immediate
sense of family bonding. For some it is much like a family reunion. But, “the family” must not become too comfortable lest we miss the point of the church. Without losing this “family connection” we are realizing God’s blessing as we continue to see people come to know Jesus Christ personally and discover the change that He makes through this most important “connection.” In addition, as more people enter into this personal relationship with Jesus Christ they are expressing this through the believer’s baptism. To my knowledge we have had a record number of new believers give testimony of the work of God in their life through baptism in this year alone! You see, the point of the church is to continue the mission established by Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:18-20. When do we stop? NEVER! The Word of God is clear. The mission is never complete until every single person is safe. Until then, we cannot remain comfortable with status quo, nor can we love “the church” more than those outside. Jesus said the “good shepherd” will leave the 99 and go after to one which is lost. (See Luke 15) If you are seeking a church which is true to the Bible, the Word of God, truly committed to sharing the Truth of Jesus Christ and one that expresses genuine care for you and your family, why not give our church family a chance. We may be located “in the middle of the cornfield” but there is always something great going on at Mt. Zion.

SCHOOL Grants open new education possibilities Two Saint Wendel teachers recently received grants which will make it possible to update equipment and purchase materials needed to enrich classroom instruction. Mrs. Cathy Dyson applied for a grant from Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana. She was awarded grant monies of $2,500 which she plans to use to replace old classroom computers and purchase the technology necessary to set up an Active Board in her classroom. Mrs. Dyson has also written two additional grants to Youth Resources of Southwestern Indiana. Should
she receive these grants, she plans to use one to offset the packaging and postage costs incurred in sending care packages to military personnel during the Christmas and Easter seasons. This is part of the fourth grade’s Military Service Project. Youth Resources has awarded this grant to Mrs. Dyson and her fourth graders for the past five years. The second grant written to Youth Resources would provide funds to be used by members of Teen Power as they plan and implement activities for Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week will take place during
the week of October 24 – 28. Mrs. Mary Jo DeWolf applied for a Westside Rotary Club Educational Grant and was awarded $750. This money will be used to purchase literature to aid in teaching social studies. Mrs. DeWolf plans to integrate reading and social studies instruction in an effort to increase interest in social studies and make it co`me alive for her students. She feels that many educational opportunities would not be possible without the funds received through such grants.
Mary Jo DeWolf looks over recently purchased literature selections which she hopes will add interest to her social studies instruction. Mary Jo was awarded a Westside Rotary Club Educational Grant.
Sen. Tomes honors four Posey County schools State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) honored four Posey County schools for earning the highest letter grade given by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). Tomes said South Terrace Elementary, North Elementary, North Posey Jr. High and North Posey Sr. High schools all received “A” or “Exemplary” rankings based on student performance and improvement data from the state’s ISTEP+ test and End of Course Assessments. This makes MSD North Posey County School Corp. one of 16 in the state to have all of its schools earn IDOE’s highest grade. “This is a significant accomplishment for these schools and they deserve recognition,” Tomes said. “Those of us familiar with Posey
County already know how hard the teachers, staff, parents and students work at these schools. Now the rest of the state knows as well. These certificates of congratulations are humble expressions of thanks to everyone connected to their success. I want them to know their efforts have not gone unnoticed.” Superintendent Todd Camp and Posey County School Board President Joe Neidig travelled to all four schools with Tomes, who presented certificates of congratulations to each principal. According IDOE officials, 42 percent of Indiana schools earned the “A” or “Exemplary” ranking this year, the first time in state history for schools to receive letter grades.

St. Wendel students remember the past with hope for the future New Harmony School Board makes changes The students of Saint Wendel observed Patriot Day through shared memories, reflection, song, and prayer. As religion teacher Sharon Vogler and her seventh and eighth students began planning the Patriot Day Prayer Service they soon realized that K-8 students were too young to have their own memories of the events of 9-11. They enlisted the faculty and staff to share their memories with the students. The students were
then asked to focus on heroes past and present. Kindergarten through second grade students drew pictures of their heroes, while third through eighth grade students wrote acrostic poems using the letters in the word Heros. Our prayer service began with the Pledge of Allegiance and a song. Adult memories were read by the seventh and eighth graders. Hero pictures and acrostic poems were shared and dis-
cussed in small and large group settings. The service ended with song and prayer. As students left the service their pictures and poems were collected. A display was placed in the hallway with lists of those who lost their lives on 9-11 and all the student hero pictures and poems. As students pass the display each day they are reminded of the past as they look with hope toward the future.
By Rhys Mathew The New Harmony School Board hired new coaches and approved the pursuit of a grant at their meeting on Oct. 13. Damien Word will be coaching the baseball team. Although currently the team does not have enough players, Word says he is eager to get into the school and build up the team. Margaret Scherzinger has been hired as the junior high volleyball coach. Drew Mathews, Jamison Buck, Cody Peerman and Larry Padgett have been approved as volunteer basketball coaches. The board voted to allow Carrie Parmenter to pursue the Fuel Up to Play 60 grant. The National Dairy Council and the National Football League founded Fuel Up to Play 60 to promote healthier eating and more physical activity in schools. In addition to improving long-term well-being, the program helps schools meet their wellness goals and supports national standards for health. Once a school enrolls in the program, it is eligible to compete for up to $4000 in funding for the enrolled school year. The funding is aimed toward making sustainable changes to help make the school a healthier place. The school district participated in the Fuel
Up to Play 60 program last school year with activities such as Taste Test Tuesdays and the Family Fitness Festival. If the grant is awarded, this year’s planned theme is Cafeteria Culture, which will feature whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and fruits and vegetables. The money would also be used to purchase a Wii and other active-play games to make indoor-recesses more active. Parmenter said “The program was very successful last year, and the kids loved being involved.” The school board accepted donations from E&B Paving, ProRehab, Expressway Auto, Flander’s Electric, Jim Little, American Cold Storage, the Community Foundation Alliance and Rappites Remembered for boys’ basketball, Environthon and general school use. The school board also covered a few smaller topics. The board hired Monica Conrad, who specializes in School Law, as legal counsel. The board also finalized plans for the flyers that will inform school district residents about the town hall-style meetings to take place on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. in Murphy Auditorium. The next school board meeting will take place on Thursday, Nov. 10 at 6 p.m. in the school Media Center.

OPINION
Comical look at plight of free pet lands editor in doghouse Either I don’t know myself as well as I think I do or my wife is making up things that I have supposedly said to her. I know I’m not as sharp as I once was because there is TRUTH... so much information in my STRANGER brain and there are so many THAN names up there that the hard FICTION drive is seldom able to keep up with the Random Ac- BY DAVE PEARCE cess Memory. But I think I would remember if I told my wife it was OK to give my dog away. Earlier this year, I watched the newspapers for months looking for the perfect free dog. There’s not a lot of extra time around here to spend with a dog but I thought if I found one that was free and we could connect, I thought it would be worth the time. So finally, one my way home from Henderson one afternoon, I found what appeared to be the perfect dog. He was a long-haired little mixed breed and he was advertised in the newspaper along with seven or eight brothers and sisters. So I decided to drive by and have a look. Well, I got there just in time because by the time I arrived, there were only two of the little pups left. But one of them was just perfect. The home where he was born was on Denzer Road in Posey County so before he even got into the car, I decided that his name would be Denzer. A few times during the summer, I was able to get out on my electric golf cart and ride around the streets of Poseyville. It is such a quiet and enchanting little place and I always enjoy being outside, seeing the people walking, and driving over to the baseball fields and watching the kids play softball and baseball. I expanded Denzer’s name and he became known as “Denzer the News Hound.” He would ride along and keep me company when I took my camera to the park or uptown to
take pictures of events that were near my home. He loved to ride on my lap. But I also have a cat. I had tried adopting dogs before but my cat is a large feline and doesn’t usually get along with anything competing for the attention around the house. So the dog or two that I got before, I was willing to allow someone else to have because the dog and my cat “Socks” just couldn’t get along. And Socks would usually end up hurting the dog and I didn’t want that. So I had no problem with allowing my wife to find a home for the previous adoptees. But Denzer was different. If Socks got upset with him and started hissing at him, Denzer would just nonchalantly turn the other direction and allow Socks to have all the food or attention…whichever the cat was wanting at the time. I had finally found a dog that I believed could peacefully coexist with my cat. But one afternoon as I came home from work fully expecting Denzer to meet me by the back door, when my wife informed me that she had given him away to a friend of hers at the bank. I was a little shocked but like most good wives, my wife insisted that I had told her that if she could find a home for the little pup, it would be OK for her to go ahead and get rid of him. Of course, I remembered saying none of those things but to try and keep peace in the family, I played along. She gave away the dog and everything that went with him. It was a traumatic experience for me. But there are some basic differences between my wife and I. One of those differences is that she seems to believe that the true value of a dog is directly proportional to the amount of money you have to spend not only to buy the dog but also for his or her upkeep. To the contrary, I feel that if
you can get a dog for free and he is a good companion, despite not being purebred, he is worth just as much as what I like to refer to as her “million dollar dogs.” Our son has been home the past few days and has a “million dollar dog.” It is hard to fathom just how fast my wife has become attached to his dog. Although Eric has been told the dog is just a large cocker spaniel, I know that there was an adoption fee involved and the dog has been taken to the groomer on a regular basis. He runs free inside our home and earlier this evening (Sunday), I even heard my wife telling my son that this “million dollar dog” was quite fond of the pumpkin rolls she had been making in the kitchen. She takes this dog, “Sadie” out to the bathroom and for long walks up and down the streets of Poseyville. Poor Denzer would have given anything to have that opportunity but his pedigree just did not meet my wife’s minimum criteria. As a matter of fact, if little Denzer ever did make it into the house, she was immediately screaming for me to “watch out, he’s going to go to the bathroom.” Another one of her favorites was “he looks like he needs to go to the bathroom.” I’m not sure what kind of look a dog has when “he has to go to the bathroom” but they apparently teach that kind of stuff at Purdue, where my wife went to school. But she has yet to detect it on our “million dollar dog.” I must have received an inferior education in my degrees in accounting at Southern Illinois University or in journalism at USI because I can be right down on a dog’s level and I still can’t tell if he’s full of poop. But after a few days here with our “million dollar dog,” I think I have learned one very important thing. I haven’t heard one yell about “watch out, he’s got to go to the bathroom,” or “he looks like he needs to go outside.”
I think what I have learned was that it wasn’t Denzer who was full of poop at all. I think it was my wife. I don’t ever recall giving the OK for the dog to be given a new home and I really don’t think she could tell from 50 paces if my dog needed restroom facilities. So just so everyone will know, the hunt is on for another free dog. He won’t be a “million dollar dog,” and chances are my wife will be able to immediately detect when the doggy needs to go outside. But if he can get along with socks, it’s gonna be like one of the old country songs. “My wife ran off with my best friend and I’m sure gonna miss him,” or another of my favorites from Brad Paisley, I'm Gonna Miss Her. It goes something like this: Well I love her But I love to fish I spend all day out on this lake And hell is all I catch But today she met me at the door Said I would have to choose If I hit that fishin' hole today She'd be packin' all her things and she'd be gone by noon Well I'm gonna miss her When I get home Right now I'm on this lakeshore And I'm sittin' in the sun I'm sure it'll hit me When I walk through that door tonight Ya I'm gonna miss her Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite. Editors Note: Since I have been warned numerous times that I should not even joke about this around my wife, this realistic column will probably place me in the proverbvial and realistic doghouse. The truth be known, my wife is probably right. I don’t have a lot of time to spend with a pet. Maybe I can still sleep inside tonight..
Letters to the Editor Resident questions mayoral candidate’s claim I am writing this letter concerning a recent mailer that was sent out by Mount Vernon Mayoral candidate Paul Watzlavik. The particular mailer I am writing about is the one concerning public safety. Mr. Watzlavik states that he will and I quote: “Rid Mount Vernon of Meth and other drugs.” Really? Has Mr. Watzlavik found a solution for ridding a community of Meth and other drugs? If he has then he should let everyone else in on his secret! I am sure there are a lot of people who would love to know how to do it. Every elected official, law enforcement officer, and concerned citizen all over the country, not just Mount Vernon, should be let in on this information. The abuse of Meth and other drugs is devastating to families and communities everywhere. Since drug abuse has existed for many, many years it makes me stop and think. Does Mr. Watzlavik really have the answer or is he just one of those politicians who are willing to say anything to get elected? In my opinion what Mr. Watzlavik has done by making such a statement is insult every law enforcement officer that goes out and battles the war on drugs every single day. Mayor Tucker served as a
police officer for 33 years. I am sure he saw his share of drug abuse and the consequences that resulted from it during his career. I am also sure that he would love to know how to “Rid Mount Vernon of Meth and other drugs” if there really was such a solution. Last week I read where the Mount Vernon Police Department
and other area law enforcement concluded a seven month drug investigation that resulted in 22 people being arrested. It looks like Mayor Tucker has the right people in the right places on the Mount Vernon Police Department if you ask me. They are producing results. It also looks like the Mount Veñion Police are working
Guest Column
well with the Posey County Sheriff’s Department, Prosecutor’s office, and other law enforcement agencies to address the issues that Mr. Watzlavik claims he can solve. It is an insult to our police and irresponsible as a political candidate to make such a statement as Mr. Watzlavik did in his recent mailer. This mailer also
Wendy McNamara
says “qualified and ready to leading.” Does owning and operating liquor stores qualify Mr. Watzlavik as an expert in Meth and other drugs? I suppose, alcohol would qualify as one of the “other drugs” the mailer talked about. Maybe we will be seeing a going out of business sale at the Roadhouse Liquor stores soon. That would be one
way Mr. Watzlavik could start ridding Mount Vernon of other drugs. If this is the kind of leadership that Mr. Watzlavik plans on bringing to the Mayor’s office I say no thank you. I’ll support Mayor Tucker and our police and I hope that other members of the Mount Vernon community will too. Dallas Jackson

Building a better community: Posey County Community Foundation The Posey County Community Foundation is a vital resource for our community. Since 1992, they have worked to pair local donors with charities they feel passionate about helping. The foundation facilitates and advocates for charitable investment in Posey County. This foundation is special because they enable a donor’s charitable vision to come to fruition and ensure that funds make a meaningful difference in the community. This foundation also assists local nonprofits in fulfilling their missions though grant money allocation. They have granted over $2.6 million to Posey County since their inception. And as of today, they oversee 80 established charitable funds. They also provide many students scholarships through their Community Scholarship Program. The Women’s Fund is a sect of the or-
Gavel Gamut’s When Peg and I returned to the Osage Indian Nation for my 50th high school reunion we took with us the registration materials the Reunion Committee had sent. These GAVEL included a schedule GAMUT of events, a booklet made from the names BY JUDGE and photographs in JIM REDWINE our 1961 yearbook and a large name tag with my name in bold print. I thought name tags for our small class from that little town on the prairie was an unnecessary, albeit well intentioned, putting on of big city airs. Then I crossed over the proverbial bar and found myself among a group of jovial senior citizens who bore resemblance to their grandchildren with whom I had grown up. Now these folks had the same position on name tags I did. By gosh, nothing, including us, had changed. Therefore, it would be just as if we were back in high school when roll was called. Name tags, bah! Ah, were it were so. Somewhere
ganization that helps local women and children and I feel makes am especially big impact in our community. It supports programs that prevent domestic violence, develop women’s confidence and help women find jobs that will support their families. Friday, October 28 will be the Posey County Community Foundation’s 2011 Auction. This event includes dinner, entertainment, auction and silent auction. Sponsorship packages are available or you can purchase a ticket for $25. They are also seeking donations for their silent and live auction. The Posey County Community Foundation enables community members to make a difference in a meaningful way. I highly encourage you to attend their auction or if possible give a donation to support this wonderful foundation in our community.
“Alas, Poor Yorick, I Knew Him” about the sixth or seventh old person who called out, “Jimmy Redwine! You remember me!” and claimed to have been in school with me, my thoughts dissociated from the reunion and dredged up Act V, scene i of Hamlet. As we had all suffered through Mrs. Grinstead’s abusive drilling of Shakespeare into our unwilling brains, I guess the reunion called forth this vague memory. We must have studied Hamlet on a nonballgame day. You may have, also, had to memorize that section where Hamlet is in the graveyard with his friend, Horatio, when the skull of the jester, Yorick, is dug up. Hamlet, remembered Yorick fondly: “Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio – a fellow of infinite jest ….” Hamlet goes on to comment on Yorick’s rotting corpse, including the smell, and expresses his thoughts on death and the loss of youth. So here

we are back to the reunion. As the Class of 1961 slowly metamorphized in my eyes from a group of cheerful sexagenarians back to frolicking high school seniors whose girls were, well girls, and whose boys could still win the conference championship, i.e., where name tags were unnecessary, I began to feel really good about two things: These folks were every bit my good friends who had not changed at all; and, Everyone seemed to immediately recognize me. Of course, Peg had to point out there was something rotten in Denmark. What is it about wives that makes it difficult for husbands to happily delude ourselves? Peg graduated from a Fort Wayne high school in a class of 496 students. Peg believes in name tags. When we left the group and just as I was bragging about how I was the only one in my class who had not changed, Peg pointed to my name tag that she had slyly pinned to my jacket.

Watzlavik, a breath of fresh air As lifelong residents of Mount Vernon, it is refreshing to hear that Paul Watzlavik is running for Mayor. Paul is an engineer and small businessman who has an extensive resume of success in the corporate world. He also started the Mt. Vernon Pride program which rebuilds people’s homes that are in need of repair, and we all know of houses in our neighborhoods that need help. We deserve
someone like Paul to turn Mt. Vernon in the right direction. The downtown is in shambles, and we need more programs for kids and our senior citizens. After reading Paul’s quality of life plans for Mt. Vernon, I believe that he is just what Mt. Vernon needs to restore pride in our city. We are voting for Paul Watzlavik, and we hope you do also.

Tomes presents awards to MSD North Posey District Schools The four schools in MSD of North Posey County were fortunate enough to receive an honorable award on Tuesday, October 11, 2011 presented by Senator Jim Tomes. Principals, teachers, and students at North Elementary, South Terrace, North Posey Junior High School, and North Posey High School were welcomed back from their fall break by receiving recognition from the State of Indiana’s Department of Education that all four schools received an “A” (Exemplary)
rating. Only 15 school corporations in the state were recognized for this prestigious award. Dr. Todd Camp, Superintendent of MSD North Posey County, contributes the success to the students, parents, and teachers, as well as the significant role the tight knit community plays in the schools’ successes. Parental involvement and volunteer efforts from community members are also special contributions that add to the district’s accomplishments.

Police believe that Hayes entered the Kiesel residence through a kitchen window that was forced open and the screen ajar. Upon contacting
Kiesel, she told police that the window and the doors were locked when she left the residence. Kiesel returned to her home and found that several cabinets in the kitchen had been opened and that assorted prescription medications as well as assorted jewelry items had been taken from the home without permission. After running the license plate number, police found that it returned to a vehicle belonging to Hayes and upon
Gish, from Page 1A Clowers said he talked to both the officer who worked the case and the family of the victim and both felt that justice had been served with the sentence, citing instances in the past when those guilty of such offenses received no prison sentence. Gish was taken into custody on the day of the hearing and was told to take off personal items that she wanted to be given to her family. Indiana State Police arrested Gish in October after an investigation revealed she stole more than $7,000 from an account set up for 22-year-old Kendra Creek and her family. Creek’s arms and lower legs had to be amputated at Wishard Hospital in Indianapolis to stop infection after she contracted bacterial meningitis last spring. Gish and several friends established an account at a local bank on Creek’s behalf and held several events to raise money for the account, including motorcycle poker runs, band concerts and a dinner, according to police.
A criminal investigation began in July after Indiana State Police received a complaint. Police said an audit of the account revealed the money was missing. “But in the end, this has always been about Kendra and her fight and supporting her,” Clowers said. “We can’t get back the trust or the relationship that was severed but I think that in the end, this was an appropriate resolution.” Also arrested in and charged with theft was Ken Krietemeyer. He was arrested in October at his Evansville residence without incident and taken to the Posey County jail. He was released on a $5,000 bond and he, too, is charged with theft, a class D felony. His arrest was less than two days after Gish, 44, was arrested and charged for allegedly taking more than $7,500 from the account. An October 25 progress hearing has been set in the case against him.
glaries have been solved particularly fast since January and he is grateful for the relationship that he and the sheriff have been able to build with members of the Posey County community. “We’re getting faster response times and we have people on the ground and
we are coordinating better with the Indiana State Police,” Clowers said. “There are a lot of good things going on and that’s why these are starting to get solved. The people in the community, our law enforcement officers, and our detective have just been doing a great job.”

While conducting a search of the residence, officers found the medication bottles belonging to Anthony Kiesel, several jewelry items that Kiesel had reported missing. The items were located in a plastic tote box in the attic access door located in Keegan Hayes’ room. Several other items from other burglaries in the area were located as well. Hayes was taken into custody and transported to the Posey County Jail where he is currently being held on a $20,000 cash bond. The investigation is ongoing. The arresting officer was Indiana State Trooper Kylen Compton with assistance from Posey County Sheriff’s Deputy Andy Porath and Deputy Dan Montgomery.

By providing individuals and families with the ability to grow their own fresh produce and to preserve their harvest for later use, it is hoped that the diets and overall health of garden participants improve. As the Planting Pride Community Gardens committee looks forward to 2012, plans are being made to expand the project to include additional areas in Mount Vernon and other Posey County communities. The committee is looking for individuals and families interested in participating in a community garden, as well as individuals interested in becoming a part of the volunteer project team.

Posey Council questions request for flood reimbursement By Valerie Werkmeister A request for additonal funds for fuel was met with questions on the amount of participation in recent flooding events in Posey County. Larry Robb, Director of the Posey County Emergency Management Agency , appeared before the Posey County Council last Tuesday, October 11, to request an additional appropriation of $1,000. Robb explained to council members that it has been a busy year for him and he logged many hours due to floods that occurred in New Harmony and Point Township. He showed the council a reimbursement check from the state in the amount of $18,536. He explained the county receives reimbursement for his salary every year and that he must work to earn those funds. Robb also explained he still anticipates receiving FEMA funds back and approximately $4,500 will go to the county general fund following equipment repairs. Councilman Tom Schneider, who represented Point Township, said Robb’s participation in Point Township’s flood event was noticeably absent this year. He felt that Robb spent more time in New Harmony and
the additional fuel appropriation was unnecessary. Robb contended that he spent a lot of time in Point Township and although Schneider may not have seen him, he was there. Robb stated he drove to Point Township many times over the course of the entire flood event. Councilman Tracy Ripple suggested that Robb keep a log book of his mileage to show support of his travels. Ripple contended it would make his request more justifiable if council members could see how many miles Robb was driving. Ripple suggested the council reduce Robb’s request to $500, however the council denied Robb’s request. An oversight in the budget preparation has left the Purdue University Extension office employees without a raise. Jon Neufelder appeared before the council to explain that he had requested a one percent increase, which would result in an additional $886 for each employee. Bob Gentil stated he had spoken with Neufelder and somehow the request was zeroed out. Gentil stated the council’s goal was to give each
Investigation leads to Monday morning arrest On Monday, October 17, 2011, at approximately 3 a.m., Posey County Deputies began investigating a strong odor of ether in the 1100 block of West Second Street in Mount Vernon. The initial investigation provided enough information for the issuance of a search warrant. Under the authority of the warrant officers from the Sheriff’s Department and Mount Vernon Police Department searched the property located at 1107 West Second Street. Upon entering a garage on the property officers discovered items and instruments
Michael Trafford involved in the manufacture of Methamphetamine. An individual who was found to be present in the garage
was arrested and taken into custody as a result of the investigation. Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth stated that Christopher James Trafford, age 18, of Mount Vernon, was arrested by deputies without incident. Trafford was transported to the Posey County Jail and charged with the crime of Manufacturing Methamphetamine within 1000 feet of a school (Class A Felony) and Burglary (Class C Felony). Oeth stated that Trafford is lodged without bond awaiting an initial court appearance.
Family Fun Night planned for Mount Vernon Junior High School On Tuesday evening, November 8, the Mount Vernon Junior High School Parent Advisory Council will host the 18th annual Family Fun Night with activities beginning at 6:30 p.m.. and concluding at 8:30 p.m. It will be a fantastic way of spending some quality time with the family and having fun. Light refreshments will be available. Basketball contests, volleyball, table tennis, swimming, table games (chess and checkers), bingo, family broadcast simulations and karaoke are some of the activities planned. The only requirement is that the junior high student MUST be accompanied by at least one parent or grandparent. Patrons should use the north

employee a $750 raise and bring the parttime employee up to $10 per hour. Although the budget has already been approved for next year, Neufelder will work with Auditor Nick Wildeman to prepare an additional appropriation request after the beginning of the new year. Robb made another presentation to the council regarding the Code Red system. It is an emergency notification system that can be used to alert a select group of residents of emergency situations. The system will contact residents’ home phones and deliver a message in situations such as chemical spills, evacuations or other types of dangerous alerts that might be necessary. Code Red helps deliver important messages to specific areas especially when TV or radio or warning sirens are not able to be heard or used. The cost for the system is $18,750 and was paid in January for this year. The next payment will need to be made in order to continue the service throughout 2012. In other business, the council heard the following requests: •A request by Mindy Bourne of the Area
Plan Commission for an additional appropriation in the amount of $700 to pay legal fees for mediation was approved. •An additional appropriation request from the Auditor’s office to pay $140,779 for the G.E./Sabic tax repayment was approved. •Two fund transfer requests from the Posey County Prosecutor’s Office in the amounts of $1,000 and $1,500 were approved. Travis Clowers explained the transfers were necessary to perform a computer upgrade in the child support program due to state software upgrades. •A fund transfer request by Rodney Fetcher from Circuit Court in the amount of $1,744 was approved for Indiana Code book updates. •A fund transfer request by the highway department in the amount of $1,000 was approved for office supplies. •Council members approved a resolution to transfer $367,503.03 from EDIT to the rainy day fund. The next meeting will be held Tuesday, November 8, at 9 a.m. at the Hovey House in Mount Vernon.

BBBS First Annual PC Bowl For Kids’ Sake a success Big Brothers Big Sisters of Posey County hosted its first annual Bowl for Kids’ Sake (BFKS) event Sunday, October 9th at Posey Lanes. BFKS gives the whole community a way to support positive futures for kids. Funds raised allow Big Brothers Big Sisters to make mentoring matches and provide ongoing assistance for mentors, mentees, and families to help sustain long successful relationships unique to its programs. Bowlers from all areas of Posey County organized teams and collected donations for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Posey County. On Sunday October 9, the teams bowled a free game, received a free t-shirt, and registered for prizes that were given away throughout the three bowling sessions. The event
was a huge success with 174 bowlers collecting $6,523 in donations. The grand prize winners were Brooklyn Bebout for the high individual collection and the Penny White team for the high team collection. Andrew Wilson was the emcee for the event, and he kept the bowlers rollin’ with his commentary and jokes and giving away great prizes donated by county businesses. There was also a silent auction with many interesting items and theme baskets donated by county businesses and individuals. The BFKS event was made possible by Posey Lanes and sponsorships from 23 Posey County businesses and organizations. With the bowlers’ collections, donations, and sponsorships, the BFKS event raised $14,253! A group of dedicated
county volunteers have been working for a year to get Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs started throughout Posey County. Currently, there is a school-based mentoring program ongoing at North Posey Schools, started by counselor Susie Tooley in March 2011. The overall goal is to raise at least $38,000 in order to fully implement the BBBS program in Posey County. By securing funds through grants, donations, fundraisers, and events like BFKS, the volunteers have currently raised a total of $21,600 since February 2011. If you are interested in helping with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Posey County in any way, please contact Sandy Minasian at 812-425The highest team donations category was won by the Penny White Team for the 6076 or Beth Schilling at Big Brother Big Sisters First Annual Posey County Bowl for Kids’ Sake event held on 812-783-1097 or visit www.

Vikings thump Pike, share conference title with Southridge VPL145657_Mount_Vernon_GO_Banner_em2.indd 1
9/28/11 4:56 PM
Vikings will host highly-ranked Mater Dei on Friday in first round of sectional
By Dave Pearce Perhaps the biggest surprise on Friday night for the North Posey football team didn’t occur on the field of play in Petersburg. It occurred just down the road where the South Spencer Rebels took out the Heritage Hills Patriots by a 14-0 count to leave just a twoway tie for the Pocket Athletic Conference championship. Entering the evening, the Vikings knew that if they took care of business, they could finish no worse than tied for the PAC title. The Vikings did take care of business by thrashing Pike Central by a 35-7 count. But the rest was up to South Spencer and Gibson Southern. South Spencer did its part, knocking the Patriots out of a share of the conference title while Gibson Southern made a concerted effort to help the Vikings by playing a tight game with Southridge before the Raiders were able to pull out a 37-26 win and share the conference title with North Posey. “We were able to hang on and we came through a couple of pretty tough ones and got a little help from Heritage over Southridge,” North Posey Coach Carl “Joe” Gengelbach said following the game. “Our kids were able to stay focused and now we get to enjoy this
conference championship for about two days and then get started on the next game.” But on Friday night, it was obvious the Vikings were not facing first-round sectional draw Mater Dei as the Vikings were able to dominate Pike Central all over the field, finishing with 455 yards of total offense to only 118 for the Chargers. The Vikings did what they do best, opened up one facet of the game by using another. Colton Motz hit Colton Martin for a 13-yard score with just a little over four minutes gone in the game. The Vikings then went into ground mode with Wes Harness picking up many of his 144 yards in the first half before Motz hit Martin with another scoring pass from 50 yards out to give the Vikings a 14-0 lead at the end of the first period. But Pike Central, who got their first win this season after three winless seasons in a row, looked better than they have in the past as they were able to move the ball at times on the Vikings but were held without a score in the first half. With a little over six minutes remaining in the first half, Motz got his third touchdown pass of the half, this time hitting a streaking Nick Neidig for a 16-yard touchdown. But the Chargers looked as if they might mount a comeback in the second half as J.J. Howald picked off a Motz pass deep in North Posey territory with less than two minutes gone in the second half. The extra point brought the Chargers to within 21-7 but from that point forward, the Viking defense and the reserves took over to preserve the victory. “We had some times where we played very well tonight but we had some times when we had some mental lapses,” Gengelbach said. “We had some penalties that we have not had. We will have to talk about those things and get the correctible little things straightened out. We also had a couple of fumbles with some of the younger kids in there.” Harness got his only score of the night with 8:45 remaining in the third period when he took the ball in from five yards out to give the Vikings a 28-7 lead. The final score came with 4:14 to go in the third period when Eric O’Risky scored on a two-yard run to make the final score 35-7. The Viking reserves could not punch one in against the Chargers but they held the Pike County team out of the end zone, as well. “I thought our younger kids played hard when they got in there,” Gengelbach said of his youngsters. “A game like this gives us an
By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon football team scored three second half touchdowns and outscored another strong opponent Friday night, but that was of little comfort to coach Paul Maier. “We did not get on the bus ready to play,” Maier said after his team fell 37-21 at Jasper. “We played poorly and that’s my fault as the coach. I told my guys at halftime that I’ve failed them as a coach. The stuff that I’ve tried to teach them is obviously not the right things, we need to re-evaluate what we’re doing and it may be time for some changes.” Once again, Mount Vernon shot itself in the foot with seven fumbles, three of which it lost. That goes back to not being ready to play once the team gets off the bus, Maier said. “I don’t know what we need to do to correct it,” the coach said. “But we’re still going to try this week.” Maier was pleased with the way the defense played in some ways, but not the offense. Mount Vernon kept Jasper out of the end zone until the last 1:41 of the first quarter and Jasper got a break when Mount Vernon fumbled and the Dubois County team recovered at the Cats’ 21-yard line. Two plays later, Sam Hahn broke loose for a 20-yard scoring run and then tacked on the two-point conversion, making the score 8-0 Jasper. Mount Vernon’s next drive stalled out and they were forced to punt from their own 20-yard line. That punt was blocked and recovered by Nock Gobert, who stuck it in the end zone with five seconds to go in the first quarter. The first of three Adam Goperfrich extra points put Jasper up 15-0 at the break. Hahn rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns on the night, scoring his second
touchdown with less than two and one-half minutes gone in the second quarter, Three minutes later, Cole Sermersheim broke loose for a 79-yard run after Jasper had recovered a Mount Vernon fumble deep in Jasper territory. Those scores put Japer in front 30-0 at halftime, but Mount Vernon’s offense started showing signs of life in the second half, but they still had trouble holding on to the ball and avoiding penalties (Mount Vernon was flagged six times for 56 yards). As the did in their loss at Mater Dei, Mount Vernon was able to outscore Jasper after the intermission, first by stopping Jasper on the opening drive of the third quarter and then mounting a 13-play, 71-yard scoring march of their own, with Ethan VanZant hitting Jon Hoehn from five yards out with 3:23 to go for the team’s first touchdown of the night. The kick failed, leaving the score at 30-6 entering the final 12 minutes. A 49-yard run by Hahn closed out the scoring for Jasper with 7:38 left in the fourth quarter before Mount Vernon made things a little more respectable. Chris Isaac was able to find J.T. Silvers from 24 yards out with 2:38 left in the game. Michael Rynkiewich added the two-point conversion to make the score 37-14. Rynkiewich then capped a short drive with a five-yard scoring run that made the final tally 37-21 with the Nick Theodosis kick. The drive was started when Mount Vernon got a break on a turnover for a change, with Chris McKinney picking off a Jasper pass and returning it to the 28-yard line. Rynkiewich had a solid night on the ground, carrying the ball 27 times for 177 yards, but he was also responsible for some of the misplays with the ball. “He (Rynkiewich) is probably one of the

Photo by Dave Pearce opportunity to test our depth in a game situation.” But the Vikings were guilty of a pair of fumbles in the fourth quarter and the defense was forced to step up. Besides Harness with 144 yards on the night, Dylan Wright finished with 72 while Martin had 59, Eric O’Risky had 35, Motz had 13, and Darrin O’Risky had ten yards. Derek Voegel had two yards on one carry. Motz completed 2-of-12 passes for three touchdowns and had one interception. Through the air, Neidig had four catches for 43 yards while Martin had two for 63 and Jacob Bender had two catches for 15 yards. Bender returned the kick-offs for an average of 17’5 yards. Alex Goebel had a pair of punt returns for 23 yards. Defensively, Kurt Seibert and Darrin O’Risky led the team with four solo tackles apiece while Goebel and Bender had three apiece. Jamon Tapp, Austin Little, Bryce
Koester, Chris O’Risky, Martin, Bender, Harness, and Goebel each had a pair of solo tackles. Alec Werry, Neidig, Voegel, and Wright had single solo tackles, Seibert, got through to the quarterback for a big 7-yard loss while Chris O’Risky and Koester each were credited with a tackle for a loss. The win finished the regular season at 8-1 for the Vikings and will take them into this Friday evening’s game against Mater Dei, who will also bring an 8-1 record into the contest. Gengelbach knows his team will be an underdog to the Wildcats, ranked near the top of the Class 2A poll. “You just have to come out and play hard every Friday night,” Gengelbach said. “We will just have to work hard. We just need to take care of what we need to do and make sure that we know what we’re doing and how
best running backs we’ve ever had here,” Maier said. “When he’s not fumbling the football. And at this point for him, it’s got to be a mental decision that I’m not going to allow this to happen any more.” The loss sent Mount Vernon to a 3-6 mark for the regular season, including a 2-4 Big
Eight Conference slate. As for the second half surge? Absolutely meaningless, Maier said, since the Mount Vernon wasn’t ready when they got off the bus. After all, the first two quarters also counted.

sure that we know what we’re doing and how we are going to do it. There will not be a lot of margin for mistakes.” Mater Dei’s only loss on the season came in a 51-48 loss at Class 5A Castle in double overtime. “Mater Dei is a fundamentally sound team and well-coached,” Gengelbach said. “Their bunch has been together for about three years but so has this bunch. So we will approach this as we do any other game and just get out there and play as well as we can play.”

Volleyball sectionals get underway this week By Steve Joos North Posey will have a tall order, Mount Vernon could be one of the favorites and New Harmony is in a familiar position as Sectional volleyball action opens tonight across the state of Indiana. The Indiana High School Athletic Association held its Sectional draw last week and the action starts tonight with three games at the Class 2A Forest Park sectional. New Harmony is in a four-team tourney at Wood Memorial, which tips off Thursday, along with a twinbill at the sixteam Mount Vernon class 3A Sectional. The Lady Cats host probable favorite Bosse in their opener, set for 6 p.m., and coach Andi Allford sees it for what it is. “Regardless, we’re going to have to play them, so I’m happy that we didn’t get a bye,” Allford said. “In the past, byes haven’t worked out very well for Mount Vernnon. We’re excited and we’re ready to play.” Meanwhile, up at Ferdinand, the North Posey Lady Vikings have a taller order in their Sectional opener. “We played Gibson Southern (Thursday) night,” Lady Vikings’ coach Gary Gentil said. “And then the only team we
really have to concentrate on is Tell City and they’re only ranked fourth in the state. They’re an extremely good team.” The Lady Vikings have a tough row to hoe, Gentil said, with Southridge (who faces Perry Central in the third game Tuesday) and Mater Dei (who opens the Sectional against South Spencer, with the winner squaring off against Forest park in Thursday’s Semifinals) as the toughest prospective foes beyond the Lady Marksmen. “It’s not impossible,” Gentil said. “But it’s a tough road. We definitely got the hardest draw, but the girls have shown throughout the year that they can play.” The Lady Vikings have had to play with some quality opponents this season and they will be ready to go, Gentil added. New Harmony’s Sectional trail once again goes through Wood Memorial and once again, they’ll be up against the host Lady Trojans in a 6 p.m. start. Tecumseh takes on Cannelton in the other match at Oakland City Thursday, with the winners meeting Saturday night at 7 p.m. for the championship. The champions at Mount Vernon and Forest Park will also be crowned Saturday night.
Mount Vernon senior Kendyl Bourne has been named to the All-Big Eight Conference girls’ golf team. Bourne earned the honor after shooting a 74 at the conference meet, the fifth best score in the individual competition. The top seven scores qualified for All-Big Eight honors. Four of those spots went to members of conference champion Jasper, including Kendall Chanley, McKenzie Hillsmeyer, Annie Getzin and Allison Neuhoff. Individual medalist Alex Kotter of Vincennes and Washington’s Mikala Barber round out the team.
Swope named to the All-PAC boys’ soccer team Kyle Swope was the leader of the North Posey boys’ soccer team offensively this season, scoring 19 goals for an up and down Vikings team. That was rewarded last week, as the senior forward was named to the All-Pocket Athletic Conference boys’ soccer team. Swope was the only Viking named to the team, while Jace Gentil earned a spot on the honorable mention list. Forest Park landed four players on the All-PAC team, including Kevin Brown, Collin Wollenman, Daniel Garces and goalie Austin Weyer. Gibson, Southern, South Spencer and Heritage Hills each had two all-conference picks. The Rebels were represented by Drew Fortune and Shane Shelton, while Brody DeWeese and Justin Hoffman area on the team from the Titans. Mitch Dougan and Isaac Hagan are the All-PAC Patriots. Jacob Westen of Pike Central rounds out the team.
Link Lady Cats honored for successful season
The Mount Vernon girls’ golf team was honored for another successful season with a recent banquet and awards ceremony at the Western Hills Country Club in Mount Vernon. Coach Dave Bell and assistant Jimmy Key reviewed the team’s season, which included a 10-5 overall record, fifth place in the Big Eight Conference meet and fourth in the Evansville Sectional. Senior Kendyl Bourne earned All-Big Eight Conference honors after finishing fifth among the individuals at the conference meet and she also qualified for the Regional as an individual. The girls won the Central Invitational and finished second in their own invite. Bourne was one of three seniors to receive letters at the banquet, along with Kay-Leigh Albright and Bailey Ash. Underclass letterwinners were Kelsey Moye, Hayley Salaman, Emily Searcy and Brooke Guinn, all sophomores.

North Posey Marching Vikings one step away from Indy By Dave Pearce The North Posey Marching Vikings are well on their way to returning to the Indiana State marching Band finals for the ninth consecutive year. The Vikings joined several other area schools who earned a trip to the semi-state band competition this Saturday. Eighty (80) high school marching bands have been selected to participate at the ISSMA Semi-State Marching Band Festival to be held on Saturday, October 22, 2011 at one of four Semi-State sites. Each band is entered in one of four classes A, B, C, and D according to school size. Twenty bands from each of the four classes will perform at one of the following Semi-State sites: Ben Davis High School (Class A), Pike High School (Class B), Decatur Central High School (Class C), and Franklin Community High School (Class D). These bands qualified for Semi-State status by being one of the top ten scoring bands in their class at their Regional site on October 15th. The Semi-State Festival, administered by the Indiana State School Music Association, Inc. (ISSMA), will determine the ten (10) bands that will represent each class at the 39th Annual State Marching Finals to
Mount Vernon athletes poised to give back to community The Mount Vernon High School Athletic Department will host a community volunteer day on Nov. 5 for businesses in the Mount Vernon area. Student athletes will volunteer for area businesses as a way to say “thank you” for the support provided to the teams and athletes. Athletic Director Gary Redman said, “Area businesses have been very helpful in many different ways, from letting students host car washes to loaning equipment to making donations. We look forward to giving back and showing our appreciation.” Businesses can request volunteers to help with such tasks as bagging groceries, cleaning windows or picking up trash.
The athletic department asks that businesses provide any necessary materials or equipment for their project. All volunteer requests must be sent to Dr. Tom Kopatich for approval at kopatichp@msdmv.k12.in.us. Requests should detail the type of work to be done, the hours to be worked, the number of volunteers needed and where and to whom to report on Nov. 5. All requests must be submitted by Oct. 26. Redman said he hopes many businesses will allow the athletes to volunteer. “It’s a way to say thank you more than anything else. We’re a small community with a limited number of businesses, but they have all been very helpful and we’re extremely grateful.”

non Lady Wildcats struggled in the first two sets, dominated most of the third and then held off North Posey in the fourth game to clinch a 24-26, 25-18, 2616, 25-23 decision. “It wasn’t pretty at all, in my opinion,” Mount Vernon coach Andi Allford said. “But we still managed a win.” Allford felt that her team wasn’t all on at the same time, with the exception of the third set, when Mount Vernon stormed out to a 21-6 lead and controlled most of the match. If it wasn’t one thing, the coach explained, it was something else. “Our serve-receive would break down, then our hit would break down,” Allford said. “And our pass would break down. They weren’t playing as a team, they weren’t taking care of their individual responsibilities, which effected the whole team aspect of it.” North Posey coach Gary Gentil thought his team hung around for most of the evening. “We felt we played two and three-quarters of games that we matched Mount Vernon really nicely,” Gentil said. “The third game, we got into a funk. I can’t really explain it. Throw that game out and we played extremely well for senior night here and we represented ourselves and play well every time.” Gentil felt that his team was making the plays in the first set, hustling, talking and basically doing what they didn’t do in game number three. Part of that reason may have been the opposition, according to the Lady Vikings’ coach. “They (Mount Vernon) are a very good team,” Gentil said. “I think they just came off winning the Castle Tournament. There’s an outstanding group in that tournament, they’ve got an outstanding team.” Gentil cited Mount Vernon’s quickness and the Lady Wildcats’ ability to bounce back after a setback as reasons why they were able to pull things out Allford cited a level of confidence that sometimes hurts as much as it helps. The team knows how to win at this point in the season and that level of confidence helped the Lady Cats after North Posey was able to tie the fourth game at 23-23 on two points off Brianna Brown’s serves. With the Lady Vikings going for the lead, Mount Vernon was able to get a volley returned deep behind the Mount Vernon line, breaking Brown’s serve and putting the Lady Wildcats at match point. A spike kill with Jacey Ritzert at the line polished
off the match for Mount Vernon. The Lady Cats held at least tenuous leads in each of the sets, including the opener, where they were at game point when an out of bounds volley with Meagan Martin at the line resulted in no points. Megan Redman served the last four for North Posey and turned the 24-23 deficit into a 26-24 victory. “North Posey came to win,” Allford said. “And the girls have to understand that no matter who we’re playing, we have to play our best to pull out the win.” Allford was impressed with North Posey’s hitters and added that the emotional factor of senior night was another motivator for the Lady Vikings. “They came to play, she said. “They came to win and they took it to us.” In the second set, the Lady Wildcats needed a five-point run with Ritzert in serve to open up what had been another close contest. The Lady Wildcats took charge early in the third set, opening a 14-3 lead at one point and kept building on it until the last few serves. North Posey did get a fourpoint run from Caitlin Herrmann at the end of the
set, but it only delayed the inevitable, as a volley went out of bounds off Deana Lindauer to give the contest to Mount Vernon. “I thought we played really well minus the one game,” Gentil said. “I was really pleased with how they did tonight.” Gentil thanked the fans for turning out on senior night and thought the team represented itself well. Many of the eight senior Lady Vikings certainly did represent themselves well. Herrmann had 10 kills, three aces and four blocks in her home court finale, while Redman turned in eight digs. Jordan Wassmer also registered three aces, while Jenna Rediford turned in 31 assists. Ritzert was a major force for the Lady Cats with 23 kills, three aces and a block. Lauren Stemple had 17 digs, while Meagan Montgomery also served three aces and Livia Hopper also registered a block. Meagan Martin was a force again with 46 assists. The Lady Viking reserves took the preliminary 25-23, 25-21. Some of those same problems with staying focused continued to bother the Lady Wildcats in Thurs-
day’s regular season finale, but once again Mount Vernon snapped back to post a 25-21, 25-11, 25-16 decision over visiting Harrison. “The girls played sloppy the first game,” Allford said. “So we had a conversation and things started to pick up in the second and third games.” The Lady Cats seemed to play more as a team in the last two sets, with very satisfactory results, Allford said. “We need to be more focused,” the coach said. “When we’re six individuals with six different agendas, we have trouble. When we play as a team, we’re fun to watch.” Martin got focused enough to turn in three aces and 30 assists, while Sarah Duckworth registered three aces and nine digs. Montgomery blocked a pair of volleys and Ritzert registered 14 kills. The Lady Wildcat reserves close out their season with a 25-11, 25-16 victory. The team finished the year with a 23-6 record, but Allford said that her team has to remember that the Sectional is a new season and they will have to be ready to go from the start.

Wildcat freshman Waddell headed to cross country semistate By Steve Joos High School freshmen go through a number of new experiences during the year. New classes, new social arrangements and in the case of Mount Vernon’s Toni Waddell, the Brown County Semistate girls’ cross country meet. The Lady Wildcat freshman ran the Pride’s Creek course in 20:52 Saturday, finishing three seconds faster than Harrison’s Maggie Ethridge for 15th place in the Pike Central Regional. The top five teams and top 15 individuals advanced to Brown County this weekend, so you needn’t feel too badly about Ethridge, since her Lady Warriors are among the top five teams moving on. “This was a pretty hard course,” Waddell said. “I think I did pretty well, about as well as the other girls.” The course was tougher than the University of Southern Indiana cross country course, where Waddell and her teammates ran in Tuesday’s Sectional meet. Waddell felt that the Lady Cats ran well at the Sectional and thanked everyone for their support, especially the seniors on this year’s team. Waddell’s time was eight seconds off her Sectional pace, but she was able to attain a goal for this season, according to Lady Wildcats coach Jackie Maier. “She advanced and that was her goal,” Maier said. “I’m really proud of her. She’s a freshman and this is all brand new. I’m just pleased that it went well for her.” Maier thought that Waddell ran a respectable race at Pride’s Creek, adding that running as strong a race four days after posting one of her best times ever would be tough, especially for a freshman. “She ran a 20:51, which was a fantastic time,” Maier said. “It wasn’t her best time, but she did what she needed to do and we’ll look forward to the (Semistate).” Maier feels that there won’t be as much pressure on Waddell at the Semistate, but she will have to run her best and once again crack the top 15 in order to move on. And if the seniors try anything on this freshman, well, she’ll just outrun them. North Posey’s Olivia Goebel finished 18th with a time of 21:22, as three of the five runners competing alone qualified for the Semistate and four broke into the top 20. Goebel ran a strong race, but she was up against some tough competition, according to Lady Vikings’ coach Lisa Kuhn. “She got penned in,” Kuhn said. “Her time was a little down (from the Sectional), but the weather was different and this was a different course. Everything has to be factored in, but she did well.” To reach the Regional, Waddell and Goebel had to crack the top 15 at Tuesday’s Evansville Sectional. Waddell was sixth in the girls’ race, posting a time of 20:43, while Goebel came in ninth (20:54). The Lady Wildcats took sixth in the girls’ meet with 143 points, while North Posey tied Reitz for seventh place with 184. “I think we did pretty well overall,” Kuhn said. “I think the Sectional is, of course, a pretty tough Sectional.” Kuhn said that each of the Lady Vikings were hard workers and added the Goebel had a good season and should be proud of her accomplishments. The supporting casts for both Waddell and Goebel struggled, with the rest of the Lady Cats faring better than the other
Lady Vikings. Jessica Smith (24:07) was North Posey’s second runner, finishing 40th overall, while Meagan Bender was 51st in 25:13, but the rest of the North Posey pack was well in the back. Ashley Whitfield (27:11) was 62nd, while Jaylyn Thornburg (28:53) 65th to round out the North Posey top five. With runners from schools which didn’t field teams coming ahead of most the runners, each of the runners except for Waddell had higher finishes as far as the team standings were concerned. Courtney Newman (33:35) and Kaylen Lohman (33:36) were 66-67 to round out the Lady Viking contingent. Brianna Reis was Mount Vernon’s number-two runner, finishing 31st with a time of 23:22, while Chelsea Bell (24:30) was 43rd, Rachel Cash (24:37) 45th, and Mackenzie McClarney (25:04) 49th to round out the top five. Olivia Baldwin (25:48) was 53rd and Ashton Fuelling (26:42) 60th to round out the Lady Wildcat contingent. The Lady Cats were disappointed with their Sectional performance, Maier said. “We had a little bit of an off night,” the coach explained. “We had beaten every team there, but Memorial, the first team there, so we were pretty disappointed.” It was a disappointing night for the Lady Cats, Maier went on to explain, but said that it was no one’s fault, but it was just one of those things. “We just didn’t run as well as we were capable of running,” the coach said. “We just learn from those experiences and move forward.” The Wildcat boys came in seventh with 171 points, while the Viking boys came in ninth with 295. It was a tough way to end the season, according to boys’ coach Tim Searcy. “It was kind of a disappointing end to the season,” Searcy said. “I felt the team ran OK, but not as well as we had been the last few meets. The effort was there for us, but the results were disappointing.” Sean Ritzert was 20th in the boys’ race and came in 21 seconds short of breaking the top 15 (17:51) and moving on. Ryan Dick (18:22) was 32nd, while Dane Wilson (18:28) came in 34th and Collin Knight (19:03) came in 44th. With five underclassmen in the team’s top seven runners, Searcy sees a bright future, despite a disappointing finish this year. “The sophomores have come a long way over the last year,” Searcy said. “But they have a lot of maturing and learning to accomplish yet.” Searcy praised the underclassmen’s work ethic and he feels that the team is taking steps in the right direction. Mitchell Jackson (19:17) rounded out the top five with a 49th-place finish, while Adam Hoehn came in 55th (19:37) and D.J. Dickens (23:27) was 72nd to round out the Wildcat contingent. Knight, Wilson, Hoehn and Dickens will all have to step up and take the lead on next year’s team, Searcy added. No Viking male runner finished higher than 54th place, which is where Shane Martin (19:53) came in. Jonah Quick (20:44), Ty Shemwell (21:41) and Gabe Mayer (21:51) finished 64-65-66, while Jonah Cobb (23:00) and Will Heldt (32:18) went 70-71. Quick, Shemwell, Mayer and Cobb each had higher finishes (59-60-61 and 64th respectively) for the
team score when they finished behind runners from Bosse, who didn’t have enough for a boys’ score. A.J. Sims (23:59) was 74th to round out the North Posey contingent. Led by record-setting winner Maria Mehringer (19:15), Memorial put four in the top five and dominated the girls’ meet with 24 points. Mater Dei was a distant second with 87 points, followed by Harrison (98), Castle (101) and North (112). North’s boys were almost as dominant as the Memorial girls, winning their meet with 36 points, 40 better than second-place Memorial (76). Caleb Kerr was the overall winner, also setting a course record with a time of 15:33 to pace the Huskies, who put all five of their top runners in the top 15. Mater Dei (83) was third, while Castle (90) and Harrison (142) were the other qualifiers. Reitz was sixth with 153 points, while Central (208) and Signature (235) came in ahead of the Vikings. Mehringer set another course record at the Regional, as Memorial once again dominated the field, scoring 32 points to blow away second-place Mater Dei (84). Mehninger’s time of 18:36 broke another course record. Gibson Southern was third with 100 points, while Harrison (114) took fourth and Castle (130) rounded out the qualifiers. Karr’s 15:20 also set a course record as the North boys won their Regional with 50 points. Memorial made the boys’ team standings a little closer as they finished second by “just” 37 points (87), with South Knox (83) Castle (98) and Barr-Reeve (101) rounding out the team qualifiers.

Perfection ‘behind the scenes’ is Laughbaum’s comfort zone
If Chris Laughbaum had it to do over again, she would do it the same The Ohio native is the office manager for Jeff Koester Construction and incidentally shares a building with the employees of the Posey County News in the New Harmony office. But Laughbaum has to consider herself a “transplant” from her native Ohio. She came to the St. Wendel area in 1988, she took a job at St. Mary’s Medical Center in 1992. But as luck would have it, she was a neighbor to Jeff Koester Construction and Koester lured
her away from the hospital and hired her to manage the Construction office, which moved to New Harmony in 1999. “I wasn’t sure what all I was getting into but now it was one of the best things I ever did,” Laughbaum said. While Laughbaum makes a conscious effort to remain in the background and let someone else do the upfront and public parts of some of her jobs, it is obvious from the organization that goes into events in the area that someone has spent a great deal of time preparing for the various events that are at least in part overseen by Laughbaum.

“I am property management for the Blaffer Foundation and I do set-ups and break-downs for the Granary,” Laughbaum said with an infectious smile. “I take care of scheduling weddings and I am treasurer of the New Harmony Business Associates.” The Kunstfest Committee enjoyed one of its most successful years this year, due, in part to the help of Laughbaum in the planning and also from cooperation from Mother Nature. But Laughbaum prefers to stay busy in helping the New Harmony community she has grown to love. “Right now, we are get-
ting ready for Christmas in new Harmony,” Laughbaum said as boxes of ornaments and ribbons and bows cluttered an ordinarily very organized office early this week. Christmas in New Harmony is the first weekend in December. “I have fallen in love with New harmony and the people here,” Laughbaum said. While denying that she is the kind of person who simply can’t say “no,” she admits that she rarely uses the phrase. “I’m just the kind of person who loves to help other people,” Laughbaum said. “But I like to be in the back-

I get the Granary ready and I have someone else who works the events.” On a personal note, laughbaum is the first to share coffee, soft drinkes, or any other “goodies” that are brought into the office. As a matter of fact, she routinely shared her fine taste in coffee with writer Steve Joos when he worked in the New Harmony office.
