By Dave Pearce Imagine the surprise of a few Posey County voters this week when they received their requested Absentee ballots and the ballots were already marked and initialed.

But the absentee voters were not the only ones surprised when the ballots went out this week.

Apparently, all the ballots in Mount Vernon School Board’s District Two and District Three had to be reprinted over the weekend due to an error in the order of the names appearing on the non-partisan Mount Vernon School Board ballot.

According to information from members of the Posey County Election Board, a clerical error led to the marked ballots being sent out. An oversight by representatives of both political

parties seems to have led to the error in the order of the school board candidate names.

According to members of the election board, school board candidates in a bipartisan election’s names are to appear in alphabetical order.

The names are said to have appeared in alphabetical order in District One however, in District Two and District Three, the names appeared in “random” order. Ironically, three of the current five-member Mount Vernon School Board’s last names begin with the first two letters of the alphabet (Angel, Bippus, and Boyer).

RBM is the vendor out of Texas who produces the ballots for the county.

The Posey County Election Board is made up of Democratic representative Ron Bennett, Republican representative Brenda Goff, and Coun-

ty Clerk Donna Butler, by virtue of her position.

Because absentee voting was set to begin on Monday, Bennett indicated that the ballots had to be reprinted over the weekend.

“The people who have already asked for an absentee ballot will be given notice and a form to send the other ballot back and we will send them the new ballot,” Bennett explained.

According to information from Goff and Bennett, the marked ballots were first discovered on Thursday when the first Absentee ballots were received by voters from the Election Office. The Election Office is under the supervision of current Posey County Clerk Donna Butler.

School board hears glowing report from Curriculum Director

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon School Board heard a glowing report on Spring 2009 ISTEP results for the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon from the new Director of Curriculum Jody Pfister, former West Elementary School Principal, at their Monday, September 20, meeting. “We are knocking the ball out of the park,” Pfister commented, “doing a great job.”

Pfister said students exhibited great growth, including 27 percent special education and 37 percent free and reduced lunch students in the totals. She reported that the district is 151 points above the state average when all 16 categories are combined, surpassing Indiana in 15 out of the 16 categories possible. In particular, she noted that in eight out of eight categories, the

elementary students are above the state average. She added that only 3 out of 32 categories fell below the state average when the results are broken out for the individual elementary schools.

In looking at cohort groups that follow particular classes of students from, say, third grade down to fourth grade and on down, Pfister said the majority of the cohort groups improved--”31 points overall improvement when you combine the positive cohort groupings for language arts and math.” She elaborated, “Three out of the five cohorts achieved growth or remained stable at 88 percent or greater percent passing, so that’s quite

Public given opportunity to see home, help Young Life

By Connie Pearce With the Halloween season on the horizon, Posey County Young Life and Robin Hill property owners Rodney and Jane Wade will join forces to benefit Young Life. The pair is combining efforts to dispel the many myths of evil that have surrounded the Wade’s latest project, Robin Hill.

On the hill at the intersection of Ninth and Mill streets (sometimes referred to as five-point) in Mount Vernon stands the huge home.

Claims of ghosts, evil and mystery have surrounded the home for years. More time than not over the past several decades, the home had been vacant, with parts falling to decay and ruin. To most of the locals the home and property is referred to as Robin Hill. This weekend, you will have an opportunity to see the inside of the home. Anyone wanting to take the tour may do so by donating to Posey County’s Young Life Organization.

Beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 9, the home may be toured with guides and volunteers available to share history and answer questions until 4 p.m. For those who cannot make the Saturday date, the home will also be open for tours from 1 until 4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 10, 2010.

United U it d Way W announces additional d pacesetters; St. Matthew and St. Wendel This year, St. Matthew School and St. Wendel School are Pacesetters for the United Way campaign. They ran their United Way campaign early and results were announced at the United Way of Posey County campaign kick-off on September 16th, to help get the United Way campaign off to a good start.

For the first time this year 6 Posey County Schools are Pacesetters for the United Way of Posey County campaign. Keith Spurgeon, campaign chairman, said “We are excited about their involvement as Pacesetters of our United Way of Posey County campaign.”

St. Wendel School was founded in 1843 and has continued since that time to provide academic and spiritual education as part of the ministry of St. Wendel Parish. Presently it has 181 students, in Preschool through Grade 8, and 20 staff members. It has been recognized as an "exemplary" school (the highest status given) for the last five years by the Indiana Department of Education.

This year records an expanding enrollment with an increase of 19 students as St. Wendel School continues to challenge each student and staff member to reach his/her highest potential.

Ron Pittman, Principal, said “The vision of St. Wendel School is to learn, to serve, and to be Christlike. As part of this, the students and staff at St. Wendel School participate in several community service projects throughout the school year. For the 2010-2011 school year, SWS students and staff will be joining other schools in Posey County to contribute to the Posey County United Way.”

St. Matthew Catholic School has proudly served the community of Mt. Vernon and surrounding areas in Posey County for over 140 years. St. Matthew is a faith-based, family-oriented school community. The school is accredited by the State of Indiana and is also a member of both the National Catholic Education Association and the Indiana Non-Public Education Association. St. Matthew School follows the curriculum standards set by the State Department of Education and the guidelines set by the Diocese of Evansville. The students also attend weekly Spanish classes, participate in the Accelerated Reading program, and perform in two music productions each year. The teachers are fully licensed in their subject areas. The school has a wireless networked computer lab, and each classroom contains a mini-lab. St. Matthew School enrolls students of all races, color, national or ethnic origin, and religious backgrounds. Currently, there are 90 students enrolled in preschool through fifth grade.

The Child Care Ministry program celebrated its 5th anniversary in September. The CCM was added in 2005 for preschool and prekindergarten students. Ninety percent of the CCM teaching staff has a degree in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education. St. Matthew Child Care offers Spanish, art, music, math, literacy, science, and a comprehensive writing program to young children. Jayne Searcy, director, explained that the Child Care Ministry is currently participating in Paths to Quality and the Quality Preschool Program. “There are four levels of achievement in this program, and dozens of

requirements for each level. We are proud that St. Matthew’s program has obtained Level 2,” explains Mrs. Searcy.

The staff at St. Matthew School is dedicated to providing students with a safe environment, Christian values, and academic excellence in order to prepare them for the joys and challenges of life. Vickie Wannemuehler, principal, reports that, “Our students traditionally score in the highest percentages in the state on the ISTEP+ tests. Our 5th graders continue to excel at the junior high and high school levels as well. We credit this success to the high expectations of our teachers, the support and involvement of our parents, and the work ethic of our students.

Our smaller class size also allows our teachers to have much more one-on-one instruction time with each of our students.”

Each year, the Diocese of Evansville chooses a theme which is a focus for prayer and instruction throughout the year. The theme for the 20102011 school year is “Make A Difference.” Miss Wannemuehler explains that the teachers are helping their students recognize the little ways that they can make a difference each day. The teachers and staff realize the importance of setting a good example for their students, not only in the classroom, but also in the areas of faith, character, and citizenship. “There is a plaque at the entrance to the school which states, ‘Christ is the ever present teacher, the reason for all we do.’

We are called to be His witnesses in our words and actions. The United Way has provided us with one such opportunity. By supporting United Way, we are able to help them fulfill their mis-

sion to help those in need. St. Matthew School is proud to be a pacesetter in this year’s United Way campaign.”

Perhaps the most exciting news at St. Matthew Catholic School is the new instructional techniques that the teachers are using this year.

Miss Wannemuehler explains, “Over the summer, the teachers were trained in Differentiated Instruction (DI). By using DI, teachers are better able to meet the unique learning styles and needs of each student. DI also gives the students the opportunity to choose how they would like to demonstrate what they have learned. We also purchased laptops, projectors, and document cameras which the teachers are using in their instruction. As you can imagine, the students have responded very well to the new technology. In addition, St. Matthew is piloting multiage classrooms in the afternoon in which younger students have the opportunity to learn from and be challenged by the older, and the older students are role models and leaders for the younger. It’s a very exciting time for students, teachers, and parents at St. Matthew School!”

This year’s campaign goal is $620,000. 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.

Sermon of the Week: A time for everything in season By: Pastor Rick Sellers of Mt. Zion Church The writer of Ecclesiastes can be misunderstood if the reader is not careful. As we read through the Bible we will discover that the various writers came from various backgrounds from which there words are given tones and reflections. Even the situations we find ourselves in often bring new meaning to the Scriptures as we read from them.

There are many versions of a joke and it really depends on where you attend church which version you will hear. I am Baptist so I will use my own perspective.

“How many Baptist’s does it take to change a light bulb? At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and at least two or three committees to approve the change. Oh, and also one to provide a casserole.”

I think you get the idea. Change is not something we take to very easily.

Over the past decade there have been numerous changes in our world which have at times seemed rather discouraging. In 2001 there was the tragic event which shook our country to the very core. There were even those who claimed to have no belief in God who, after 9/11 united with those who do believe in God to pray. Change.

There have been noticeable changes taking place in our world’s economy. I am certain that

this is something we have all taken notice of.

Many companies have been forced to take a serious look at the way they do business. This also has brought about many changes. Some of those changes have caused a lot of difficulty in many families as they have found themselves without a job. If you ask me, I think it is about time that we as a nation take a serious look at our spending habits. It is time that we return to saving and spending only what we have. Change.

Maybe we should take something into consideration as we observe all the changes taking place. The writer of Ecclesiastes might seem to be a bit on the negative side, however take into consideration that we are living in a world that is going through a tidal wave of change. “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”

How can we escape change? It is inevitable.

Someone has said that as long as we are experiencing change we continue to be among the living. Change is essential for in change we are challenged and encouraged to move forward.

We are currently in a season of change. The squirrels are busy preparing for the coming winter. Trees reveal that fall has arrived. Farmers are busy harvesting their crops. Air conditioners are being replaced with the warmth of furnaces. Everyone is digging out their sweatshirts and head-

ing to high school football games. Change.

When Jesus came into the world there was need for change. The religious leaders we failing to lead according to God’s intended purpose.

They were following “religion” and not God. Politics had reached the point of being completely out of line. True God-followers were being persecuted and the moral decline in society had reached an all time high. At the time of Jesus first coming into our world He faced the challenge of misunderstood and often misinterpreted religious teaching, leaders who hated him and sinners who despised Him. I am not sure but this actually sounds like our world today so maybe there is need for change.

Keep in mind that Jesus did not say that He came to revolutionize the world. Jesus came to fulfill the promise discovered in the Word.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” – Matthew 5:17 (ESV) Jesus did not come to change everything. Jesus came to complete everything. This is real change!

We should be reminded that change happens to all of us. Let me encourage you to think about something. As I read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, I am reminded that God initiates many obvious

changes. Therefore, as we go from day to day, we ought to stop and observe how the Creator of the vast universe has taken the time to involve mankind in His creation by permitting us to witness the brushstroke of His artwork.

The next time you are faced with a change that seems too difficult to manage, stop and consider that God loves you enough to share something of wonder with you. Look beyond the challenge and see the color of His tapestry. God paints a beautiful nature scene for each of us to enjoy.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NRSV) For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

With the recent completion of the project, he decided Posey County Young Life could benefit from the open house. It is the ultimate in combining many things old with many things new.

recent. A complete list of the home’s owners will be on display during the open house.

The property has had several names over the years. Robin Hill is the name the Wades gave the home when they purchased it last fall. Wade didn’t realize he had changed the name. Previously, the name was Robinhill but Wade stated he didn’t realize it was all one word until his aunt, former Farmersville employee Darlene Fischer started doing research on the history of the property. Other names that have been associated with the property include the Lowery Home, Popcorn Hill, Ferndale and the Belden Place.

Robin Hill is rumored to have been a stop on the Underground Railroad. It is thought that there was a tunnel that led from the Ohio River to the house. Wade states “there may have been one but I have found no sign of one.” Another story was that the slaves came from the Ohio River and walked up a creek near Kiwanis Park to Robin Hill where they would be cleaned, clothed and fed before continuing their journey further North.

It has been said that President William Howard Taft, the 27th United States President, visited the home. Robin Hill has been featured in two novels. One was written by local author, Frances Cavanah in 1928 and was called “The Treasure of Belden Place.” This novel is fictional but does contain some interesting stories about the home. The second know novel, “Judge Lynch” was written by current Posey County Circuit Court Judge James Redwine and is still available.

“A lot of people think the house had ghosts but three paranormal groups have done extensive research and came up empty,” Wade said. He added that he has spent a lot of working hours there and has seen no evidence of anything ghostly related.

So how did the Wades come to own Robin Hill? Rodney said that a local realtor kept telling him that he needed to come take a look at it knowing Wade is a talented designer as well as an entrepreneur. While in Mount Vernon visiting his father-in-law one afternoon, he decided to take a look but was not even thinking of purchasing it. Once inside he quickly changed his mind.

The previous owner, Walter Angermeier had bought the

home10 years before. Angermeier had spent a great deal of money on renovations for seven years and lived in it for three years with his family. Prior to the Angermeier purchase of the home, it had been empty for 27 years.

“The house probably should have been demolished but for some reason Walter decided to rebuild it,” Wade said. “You must keep in mind “Walter completely rebuilt this house from the inside out.” For six years brick masons cleaned 70 percent of the bricks and placed them back on. Sixty-four windows were installed in the 5,600-square-feet home on three floors. Pictures will be on display during the tour will show how the house looked before renovation began.

With Wade’s eye for detail and imagination he envisioned the potential for a beautiful home and was ready to make an offer within a few days of seeing it. The humble Wade credited Angermeiers with doing the major work.

“I just took it the next level,” Wade said with a smile.

Wade purchased individual mantels for all eight fireplaces that are now electric. All bedrooms have wall mounts for televisions and on the third floor there is the theatre room equipped with a large screen television, refrigerator and microwave. He states that he has ordered theater chairs to be installed in that room.

Angermeier had redone the kitchen but Wade wanted to make it exquisite so he completely remodeled it, giving it a modern look including granite counter tops.

Wade stresses this is a rare opportunity to see this historic, unique, and unforgettable home. He encourages residents to support a great cause and take a look at one of the most colorful homes, both literally and figuratively, in Posey County.

Also tentatively scheduled to be part of the event are antique cars, nostalgic items, and characters, books and history related to the home, as well as ice cream and other refreshments. Other participants are expected to be added as the week goes on.

More information is available on Facebook or may be obtained by calling Posey County Young Life at 812-4544786. Donations may be made directly to Young Life at PO Box 951, Mount Vernon, IN 47620.

WMI News The long hot summer of 2010 is finally over and cooler temperatures and turning leaves have arrived. Autumn spells relief from one of the hottest summers on record.

And this is a good time to consider Autumn in literature.

Quotes praising the beauty of autumn are easy to find.

Take the following for example. “Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic.” One can visualize the beautiful, multi-colored leaves floating leisurely to the ground.

Or perhaps: “Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.” Anyone who has gazed upon our beautiful New Harmony soft maples will agree with that.

And finally: “Autumn, the year’s last and loveliest smile.”

In literature, we also find Autumn as a metaphor for a certain time in life. It is beyond youth and young adult-

Ballots, from Page 1A Donna that there was a problem,” Goff said in a Sunday evening interview.

“We talked about it and both agreed that the State Election Board needed to be contacted for guidance.”

Apparently, the error somehow resulted from the voting machine testing which had been done last week. According to sources on both sides of the political fence, the machine testing went off without a hitch as Goff and Crystal Collins, representing the Democratic party, put some 40 ballots through the machines.

“Brenda Goff called me and said she had been informed that there was a problem,” Newman said in a Friday night interview. “Some people had received their ballots and had opened them and started voting when they noticed that some of the answers were already marked.

They immediately contacted the election office.”

Newman indicated that at least for the time being, it appears that there were “probably 12 or less” of the marked ballots have been sent out.

Newman said that apparently somehow the ballots used for testing had been mixed in with the absentee ballots and had been sent out by mistake.

“Obviously, the people

snacks, and a treat table.

The event is free for all age kids. For more information you can contact Ruth at 8380066. The event is sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Community Center Skating Rink.

Creepy fun, yummy treats, slightly spooky stories, costume parade, and a craft will be among the featured activities on October 26 at 6 p.m. Everyone is invited to come in costume for this popular event.

Fall Book Sale The Friends fall book sale will be November 13 and 14 and we still need donated books. The Friends of the APL are accepting all pocket size and larger paperback fiction, all non-fiction books in paperback and hardback, audiotapes, CDs, DVDs, VHSs and graphic novels.

admirable. One cohort was down only three points in language arts, but that same cohort increased five percent in math.”

Pfister stressed, “Our exemplary performance is not surprising.” She then cited the use of challenging and innovative curriculum using cutting edge technology, the experience of the district’s teachers with 70 percent having taught 16 or more years, and extensive volunteer involvement from parents. “We have high expectations for all of our students,” she said, “and that shows in the scores.”

In other business: •Superintendent Tom Kopatich reported that the average daily membership, or ADM, count, taken one time a year in September, was taken on September 17. The count indicates from September 2009 to September 2010, the district lost 82 students. From May 2010 (last week of school) to Sept 2010, the district lost

12 students. Kopatich said about 40 of those students moved. Nonetheless, he emphasized that outsiders coming into the school district is not automatic. For example, he said the district wouldn’t add students to the Farmersville fifth grade class totaling 30 students now. “We will take care of our current students,” he said, “though we would love to increase enrollment.” He added that the district should be able to handle its expenses and remain in good shape as long as no additional cuts come down from the state.

•The board approved payment of vouchers by the Mount Vernon of Posey County MultiSchool Building Corporation in the amount of $11,457.85 for mats at Farmersville Elementary School. Superintendent Tom Kopatich explained the board could manage payments under $25,000, but the holding corporation comes together to manage payments over $25,000.

By Sherri Graves hood.

Child-rearing and career-building are past. It is a time to reap the fruits of life’s hard work. It is a bittersweet time of remembering the past and savoring the present knowing that as with all life, the final chapter is yet to come.

And so it is written: “Change is a measure of time and in the Autumn, time seems speeded up. What was is not and never again will be, what is, is change.”

With good humor and perhaps a word to the wise it is said: “Wild oats make a bad Autumn crop.

And finally, for all of us in the Autumn of life: “Youth is like spring, an over-praised season more remarkable for biting winds than gentle breezes. Autumn is a mellower season, and what we lose in flowers, we gain in fruit.”

Autumn appears in the title of a best-selling new novel by David Mitchell now available at the WMI. It is set in Japan at the beginning of the 19th

century. Japan is still an isolated country, its only contact with the West being dealings with Dutch traders who have established themselves on an artificial island in Nagasaki Harbor.

The Japanese have many colorful and descriptive names for their land. “Land of the Rising Sun” is the one we are most familiar with. But just as beautiful is “The Land of a Thousand Autumns.” And so, our new book is entitled: “The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet.

Historical, yet highly imaginative, the story weaves a picture a lives so compelling but so remote from anything we imagine that it might as well be set on an alien planet.

Dutch Jacob De Zoet becomes one of the first Westerners to be accepted in to Japanese society. His love for one heroic woman finally becomes a love for a beautiful and mysterious land – the Land of a Thousand Autumns.

who received incorrect ballots will receive new ones,” Newman said. “There is a procedure by which the Election Office will send notification about the ballots being incorrect. They will be given the opportunity to get another absentee ballot, vote by election board, go do early voting at the courthouse, or vote at the polls on Election Day.” “I do oversee that office but since I am on the ballot, I felt that it would be best if I removed myself from the process of the preparation of the election,” Butler said, when contacted about the errors on Monday morning.

Butler deferred questions to Election office worker Kenda Hartmann, who said she was new to the office and had, along with her office counterpart, made a simple mistake in filing the ballots and in sending them out.

“Thankfully, what is most important, everyone will get

to vote,” Hartmann said. “We don’t know who got what, we are contacting all who could possibly have received one of the ballots and are letting them know what they need to do in order to vote.

According to Bennett, the people who received the marked ballots will be given the same opportunity as those who received the marked absentee ballots. Bennett did say that it is his understanding from the Election Division that unless those affected specifically request another ballot, they will not receive another ballot.

The Election is slated for Tuesday, November 2.

OPINION

Don’t shoot the messenger but feel free to fire back Running a community newspaper comes with its own special set of circumstances.

Obviously, I enjoy meeting people and being a part of the community in which I live.

I would like to believe that I have many friends throughout TRUTH... the county.

STRANGER This weekend has been a THAN test for me, however. While I do not claim to be a political FICTION activist in any way, shape, or BY DAVE form, the events of this week PEARCE have made it necessary to listen to “the other side of the story” more than I really wanted to.

On Thursday, I was met by acquaintances at one of the North Posey soccer matches. The couple wanted to share with me their concerns about receiving an absentee ballot in the mail that had been filled out before it was mailed. I listened with both interest and concern as the couple explained what had happened.

I know and am friends with people on both sides of the political fence. I gave the story a day to settle in my mind and then I began to contact the appropriate people to find out if the story was, in fact, legitimate. I was assured by individuals on both sides of the political fence that indeed, some marked ballots had been sent out. One side claims that the ballot send-

out was simply a clerical error.

The other side seemed somewhat satisfied with that answer. But regardless of the cause, both sides had one thing in common. They both wanted to find out what had caused the error and what could be done to keep it from happening again.

There are many fine people on both sides of the political arena. There are also people on both sides who are selfish and seem to want what only benefits themselves. I don’t believe this was the case in this error.

But on the one hand, several friends had asked that the public be made aware of the error so that those affected could be aware of what had happened. Friends on the other side indicated that this was not a newsworthy event and that a simple clerical error should not be made into something sensational.

I attempted to do the best I could do with the story. I tried to find out the facts and base the lead story in today’s paper on facts rather than hearsay. That is critical to good reporting.

While I probably made neither side happy with my reporting of the errors on the ballots, I did the best I could. The story was not meant to offend anyone or “make a mountain out of a

mole hill” but in an election that appears to be as close as this one, every vote counts. Every one who takes the time to vote should be assured that his or her vote will count.

But while the controversy raged over the voting issue, I listened to other people who were equally concerned about issues that affect them and their families.

There were the two sides of a story about a student whose parents are involved in a school corporation administration in the county. It seems there is an ongoing feud between students. Parents naturally get involved when their children are affected. So I listened but did not make a public judgment either was as to what I thought about the situation.

Then still later in the week, I listened as several parents of students involved in athletics complained that one sport did not receive as much press as another or that one part of a team did not receive as much coverage as another part of a team. Again, I listened and tried to keep a level head.

I know the neither I nor the Posey County News is perfect. I see the same product that you see come out week after week. If I didn’t believe that a forum for public news and public opinion was necessary, I could have made my life much simpler several years ago.

So to those who thought enough of me to

consult me when there was a problem, thank you for trusting me enough to tell me about it.

For those of you who have concerns over the way the paper reports, please make me aware.

After all, the newspaper belongs to the people of Posey County and is worth nothing if it is not a service to you.

But on the other hand, the newspaper is a newspaper. One person’s definition of “news” may not be the same as another person’s.

This week, as I do every week, I made a concerted effort to gather all the facts and then to write my stories based on those facts. If you do not agree with me, we have a “Letters to the Editor” section that will allow your opinion to be printed with your name on it, just as everything I write is printed with my name. It is there in black and white for everyone to see week after week. If anyone wants to dig up something that I said in the past, the records are there. They will remain there with my name affixed.

The only thing that I really ask is that if you have an issue, have enough backbone to put your thoughts down on paper and sign your name to it. There are lots of other ways to express displeasure. But if we are going to be on a level playing field, write a letter and sign it.

As we always say, “Write a letter, you will feel better.”

The means not as important as the end Letters to the Editor This past Sunday, I attended three churches in the Mount Vernon area: Trinity United Church of Christ, First Presbyterian Church and St. Philip Catholic Church. I enjoyed the blessing of the animals at Trinity, FOR THE joining the church at First RECORD Presbyterian, and praying at St. Philip. For those who know me very well, this ar- BY PAM rangement will seem to suit ROBINSON me since I’ve attended a number of Protestant and Catholic churches here.

I come honestly by my ecumenism—what some may judge as indecisiveness. During my youth, I attended Hardyville Union Church, a small community church, where both Baptists and Methodists worshipped together under one roof. One Sunday, the Baptist minister would preach, and the next Sunday, the Methodist minister would preach. In the summer, each minister held a weeklong revival. No more did the Baptists show up only when their minister preached than did the Methodists attend only when their minister led worship. We sang side by side intermingled in the church pews. As for Sunday school, both Baptists and Methodists agreed on the curriculum and taught from it. The two denominations differed only in the form of baptism: the Baptists dunked and the Methodists sprinkled.

The experience taught me to trust in Christ, not an institution. I kept the faith until my college years, when like so many young adults, I started questioning everything and stopped

attending church. During graduate school, I converted to Catholicism, but wasn’t really ready to dedicate my adult life to Christ. My roots were shallow, so, again, I dropped out of church.

When Jim and I married, we wanted a church wedding, but not a church commitment.

We met three times with the minister then at Immanuel United Church of Christ on Ford Road for counseling, and he performed the ceremony. Still, as a couple, Jim and I rarely let our shadows darken the doorstep of any church.

Fourteen years ago, I called on Christ in a time of great loss. I whispered just a simple prayer, “Please help me,” and peace suddenly washed over me. Since then, I’ve been searching for Christ in several different churches.

I can tell you I’m grateful for the experience at every single church I’ve attended.

I’ve met some wonderful Christians and am blessed with continuing friendships of people belonging to different denominations. Christ has taught me lessons wherever I’ve been— lessons in acceptance, compassion, faith, forgiveness, healing and trust. Now Christ has led me to First Presbyterian. The congregation has been willing to accept me in spite of my long, winding journey. I believe Christ understands my searching also. He is who I will answer concerning my path to Him. His judgment is, after all, the only real judgment that concerns me.

NRA Endorses Rokita Indiana Secretary of State and Republican Nominee for Indiana's Fourthth Congressional District Todd Rokita announced today that he has received the endorsement of the Nation Rifle Associations - Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) "We can count on Todd Rokita to defend the Second Amendment freedoms of Indiana's law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen," said Chris W. Cox,

chairman of the NRA-PVF. "Todd Rokita is the clear choice for gun owners in this race. Todd Rokita is a strong voice in fighting ongoing efforts by anti-gun politicians to dismantle the Second Amendment," Cox concluded. "We ask all gun owners and hunters in Indiana's 4th District to vote Todd Rokita for Congress on November 2."

"As a gun owner and a member of the National Ri-

fle Association, I will defend the 2nd Amendment rights of Hoosiers. I'm proud of my "A" rating from the NRA," stated Rokita. "If we are going to keep up our traditions and pass them on to our children, we need leaders in Congress who understand, and will fight every day, to protect our 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

That's what I've done as Secretary of State, and that's what I'll do in Congress."

‘Clean’ campaign promise seems to have gone awry Last spring, my opponent stood before a group assembled at the Posey County Community Center and pledged to conduct a clean campaign and asked that I do the same. He has, however, chosen to resort to misleading and manipulative tactics intended to discredit me.

Over the last few weeks several community members have approached me about a negative telephone poll placed by a Washington, D.C. organization on

behalf of my opponent asking a number of questions designed to misinform voters and distort my position on the issues. His negative campaign tactics, especially those phoned in from Washington, D.C., do nothing to serve the interests of our community.

The people of Southwestern Indiana need real solutions to their problems instead of misinformation and negative campaign tactics.

I will continue to conduct a positive campaign focused

on the issues at the heart of Indiana. I am an educator dedicated to bringing jobs back to Southwestern Indiana, lowering taxes, and restoring integrity and transparency in Indiana’s State House.

Please join me in making a positive difference for those in our community. I appreciate and thank you for your support.

"On November 2, I urge all Indiana NRA members and gun owners in the 49th Senate District to vote for the candi-

date with a proven track record who will stand up for your gun rights - vote Jim Tomes," Cox concluded.

proaching fire department wagon throwing out Redman. The mob then crushed Redman’s skull with a sledge hammer.

The only people charged with Hume’s killing were Quincy Gill, George Floyd and Dave McFaddin. Neither the Posey County nor Vanderburgh County news media reported on their fates, at least, I have not come across any such stories. Perhaps, gentle reader, you may know of their fates(?)

As a postscript to the story, Ms. Newton quotes a portion of Rev. W.J. Darby’s October 15, 1882, sermon entitled: “The law-its majesty, and organized opposition to its enforcement.”

Rev. Darby cited Psalm 119:97: “O, how love I thy law; it is my meditation all the day.”

And the good minister stated: “Beyond doubt Redman’s existence was a fester on the body politic, but the conduct of such a mob is a stab at the very heart of society.”

The National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is endorsing Jim Tomes for election in Indiana's 49th Senate District this November.

"The NRA-PVF is proud to support Jim Tomes, a proven friend of gun owners, to the Indiana State Senate," said Chris W. Cox, chairman of NRA-PVF. "We know he will continue to be a strong defender of the Second Amendment freedoms of law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen in the Indiana Senate, as he has worked alongside the NRA to advance pro-gun legislation for over a decade."

Tomes founded the Second Amendment Patriots and spent years partnering with the NRA in organizing pro-gun volunteers across the Hoosier State. He has played an important grassroots role in many pro-gun legislative victories, including: helping Indiana become the first state in the country to institute a lifetime concealed firearm permit; protecting America's firearm manufacturers from bogus lawsuits designed to bankrupt the industry; enacting state firearm preemption; and passing Indiana's new Emergency Powers and Parking Lot laws, which protect law-abiding

Gavel Gamut’s “Eva & Hume Redman Revisited” Posey County native Doug McFadden read my articles about Eva (McFaddin) Redman’s murder and sent me a copy of an article on her death that appeared in the July 2009 edition of Maturity Journal.

Peggy K. Newton wrote that article which differs only slightly from the newspaper accounts from October 1882.

Other than the fact someone other than Peg Redwine actually read one of my columns, the most striking aspect of Doug sending the article to me was the identification of a suspect other than Eva’s husband, Hume Redman. In the article, Hume Redman claimed one Johnny Green had tried to “outrage” Eva who resisted so mightily she was badly injured.

According to Ms. Newton’s account, an unnamed neighbor of Hume and Eva Redman witnessed Hume’s confrontation of Green who took Redman’s pistol from Redman and shot at, but missed him.

The article does not follow up on the theory Green, not Redman, injured Eva before she was shot and killed.

Just as stated in the Posey County News accounts, Maturity Journal relates how a pos-

Vanderburgh County Sheriff Thomas Kerth and four of his men were guarding Redman until the mob broke into the jail at Third and Main Streets in Evansville. Vanderburgh County Deputy Sheriff Newitt warned Redman, “Well, Hume, they’ve got you.” Redman replied: “Well, damn ‘em! Give me a revolver and I’ll shoot the first S.O.B. that comes in the door.”

Upon leaving in haste and excitement from the Vanderburgh County Jail with Redman in custody, the mob’s buggy collided with an ap-

Lady Vikings give fans a sign of things to come

By Dave Pearce North Posey volleyball coach Gary Gentil has been waiting for his team to have a “break-out” match. On Thursday evening, they may have had just that against a tall and talented Forest Park squad.

The Lady Vikings had lost to the Lady Rangers soundly in straight games (25-5, 25-9) at the Boonville Tournament earlier in the year. But the Viking team that took the floor on Thursday showed a determination that Gentil has been looking for.

“I think about two games ago we turned the corner about our confidence,” Gentil said following the exciting five-game match. “We didn’t have a good night against Mater Dei but we had an outstanding night tonight. The girls played very well. For two-thirds of the year we have practiced the way we played tonight. They are carrying their practice ethic over into the games and it is showing.”

And did it ever show.

The Lady Vikings took control early in the match as they established a 15-7 lead in the first game and eventually won the game 25-20.

But as good teams do, the Lady Rangers fought back to take the second game 25-21.

Yes, the match was actually as close as the score indicates as the Lady Rangers took a 2-1 lead with a 25-23 win in the third game. But again, as good teams do, the Lady Vikings fought back to force a fifth game with a 25-23 win of their own in the fourth game.

In the final game of the match (which went to only 15 points) the Vikings would have to come out ready.

“One of the things we have talked about is that with senior Katelyn Esche out with an injury, we have to have everybody Kaylee Durchholz goes high to put down a spike during and everybody has to be ready,” Gentil said. “So I can’t say one of this week’s two Pocket Athletic Conference wins. enough about what (setter) Kendall (Reidford) has done. But everyone has done just a great job.”

Junior Kendall Reidford, whose serve has been effective all evening, served the first point of the final game but following a long rally, the Rangers took a 1-0 lead on an error.

But the Lady Vikings quickly regained their composure and Kaylee Durchholz slammed the ball down to tie the game at one. A Deana Lindauer serve followed by a Wendi Simpson spike gave the Vikings a 2-1 lead and the Lady Rangers would never regain the lead, despite pulling back to tie the game at 11-all.

Simpson was the hitter on the next three Viking points as they moved out to a 6-3 lead before Forest Park battled back to 6-5. A service error gave the Vikings the next point and a Jessica mason serve and Lindauer spike put the Vikings back ahead 8-5.

Forest Park called a time out and scored immediately on a big spike and then on a North Posey service error to pull back to within 8-7.

But again it was Lindauer who but the ball down to give North Posey a 9-7 lead.

But like the nip-and-tuck battle that it was, the Rangers answered with a spike of their own to pull within 9-8. This time, the call went to sophomore Caitlin Herrmann as her power spike was blocked long out of bounds and the Vikings were up 10-8. Another service error brought the score to 10-9.

A Lindauer dink gave the Vikings an 11-9 lead before the Lady Rangers got two straight to knot the deciding game at 11-all.

Herrmann stepped to the service line at 11-all and with the help of a Durchholz tip, a serve that tipped the top of the net and fell over for an ace, a Lisa Garris Spike, and a hitting error on the part of the Rangers and the Vikings had won one of the closest and most well-played matches of the year.

“Both teams played very well tonight and we talked about

Vikings dominate Tell City in homecoming win

By Dave Pearce There was good news and bad news from Friday night’s North Posey-Tell City football game.

The bad news was that the North Posey Vikings did not score in the second half of Friday night’s homecoming game against the Marksmen. The good news is, they didn’t have to.

By the time half-time rolled around, the Vikings had put 42 points on the board. And with the game apparently safely within hand, North Posey Coach Joe Gengelbach used the opportunities to get a look at some of his back-up players as well as trying some new wrinkles in the team’s offensive and defensive schemes.

But Gengelbach had nothing but praise for the Marksmen as they try and rebuild their once-proud football program.

“They have improved significantly over last year and have improved each week this year. They are much more fundamentally sound and they played hard all 48 minutes,” Gengelbach said of the Marksman program.

“But I was very happy with the effort we got tonight. I thought our kids played extremely well in the first half and in the second half, we tried to work on some things.”

But with no disrespect intended, the Marksmen were not ready for what they ran into on North Posey’s homecoming night.

The Vikings, still stinging from last week’s four-point loss at Forest Park, came out hitting on all cylinders and the combination of running, passing, and good defense kept the Marksmen at bay early. The Vikings used that opportunity to build a 21-0 lead just into the second quarter.

The first score of the game came on a Wes Harness 19-yard run with 6:23 remaining in the first period. The next score came with just 46 seconds remaining in the opening stanza when quarterback Colton Motz handed the ball to senior back Cameron Calvert and he went in from three yards out.

“We actually went into the ballgame thinking we would try and run the football from

what we had seen on film but they bunched everybody up pretty tight and I thought our receivers did a good job running their routes and our offensive linemen gave us a lot of time to throw the ball,” Gengelbach said. “I thought Colton (Motz) had a good night picking his receivers. They took away some of the things we were going to do but we were fortunate enough to do some other things and do them pretty well.”

The first score of the second period came when Motz connected with Calvert on a five-yard pass play and the Vikings were in command 21-0 just a minute into the second quarter.

But an Achilles Heel once again erupted on the Vikings as the Marksmen’s Trent Nelson got loose for a 77-yard touchdown, reminiscent of last week’s shower of big plays that cost the Vikings at Forest Park. The marksmen could not convert on the4 extra point.

But the Vikings had too many answers this week.

Motz erupted for a big pass play of his own when he threw the long ball to Nick Neidig who went up and took the ball away from his defender and ran it into the end zone with some nifty moves. On paper, it was a 66-yard touchdown pass pay and the Vikings were ahead 28-6.

“We responded well tonight when we were scored on and we were able to maintain ball control,” Gengelbach said. “And I thought Jared Reidford is caught from behind after making a big catch during Friday night’s our special teams played better tonight. We homecoming win over Tell City. Photo by Dave Pearce did make a few changes in there this week.

Coach Rynk (Paul Rynkiewich) changed the way we are punting and it gives us better coverage and protection for the punter. Nick (Neidig) kicked the ball high which gave us a little more time and Nick Crumbacher did a good job kicking the ball deep.”

Then with 2:48 remaining in the half, the Markmen’s Mr. Everything Trent Gunn passed for a 29-yard touchdown. The Marksmen converted the two-point run and it appeared they might get back into the game.

Lady Wildcats claim first Big Eight title in 27 years

By Steve Joos In a lot of ways, the Mount Vernon volleyball team won the Big Eight Conference championship in the same manner it won many of its matches this season.

They won by battling their way through three hard-fought sets and getting a big service streak at the right time.

That’s how the Lady Wildcats beat the visiting Washington Lady Hatchets Saturday to clinch the school’s first conference crown in 27 years.

And they were consistent, winning each set the same way 25-20, 25-20, 25-20.

“Washington was a very solid team,” coach Andi Allford said. “We didn’t know what kind of team they had, since we don’t a lot about the teams they’ve played, so I can’t really say about them coming in here, but the big thing was that it was for the Big Eight title, so they were ready to play, but they were a solid team.”

They were also a team that made things difficult for the Lady Cats at times, hanging around off and on in all three sets.

opened up a 6-2 lead in the first set, but the lady Hatchets came back and held a 12-10 lead when Carynn Koch went to the line.

Eight serves later, Mount Vernon was up 1813 and was well on its way to a first-game victory.

The second game was also close until a long streak opened a 7-2 Mount Vernon lead and the Lady Cats once again held off Washington.

And again in the third set, it was a nip-andtuck battle, with the Lady Hatchets going up 13-10 at one point before a Washington return went out of bounds and Mount Vernon got the ball back.

This time, it was Bailee Schelhorn doing the honors with six straight service points to open a 16-13 lead. The Lady Hatchets got back to within a point, but once again, the Lady Cats kept them in check and clinched match point and their first conference crown since 1983 when a spike kill left the Lady Hatchets flat on the court to end the third game.

By Steve Joos When the rain had ended and the dust had settled Saturday afternoon, there was no doubt who was the best tennis team in the Mount Vernon sectional.

The senior-dominated North Posey Vikings did not give up a single position in any of three sectional matches, rolling to their third straight title at Mount Vernon. With the win, they earned the right to face 12thranked Terre Haute South in the Vincennes Regional first round today (Tuesday). The Terre Haute school defeated the Vikings 4-1 in last year’s Regional championship.

For most who have followed tennis throughout the year, the sectional title was probably decided in Thursday’s first round when the two Posey County teams (Mount Vernon and North Posey) met.

The 5-0 result was the same but the matches were a little more competitive this time than when the teams met in the regular season.

The Mount Vernon boys’ tennis team gave North Posey a little more in the opening meet of their Sectional Thursday, as Jevin Redman and the first doubles team of Riley Oberle and Jacob Steinhart pushed their opponents to North Posey’s No. 1 doubles player Ty Butler serves three sets and the entire team during the Vikings’ sectional title match this week.

“North Posey’s obviously a good team, a strong team with a lot of experience and we’re a young team with very little experience,” Mount Vernon coach Vicki Oehmler said. ”Given that, I thought we did a good job. I would like to

Tennis, from Page 2B have seen it turn out a little differently, but I’m pleased with the guys and their efforts tonight.”

North Posey coach Charlie Grimes was pleased with how his team played and complimented Mount Vernon for its improved play.

“We went out and tried to take care of things,” Grimes said. “We had a good day.”

The Vikings had some trouble with the wind, but were able to overcome it, the coach said. He complemented both doubles teams on their efforts and was impressed with how hard Redman and Scheller played at first singles.

The Mount Vernon coach was also happy with they way her team played.

“I thought we played pretty well,” Oehmler said. “There were some spots that maybe we could have done things a little different. I think the wind, we didn’t get off to a good start at a couple of the singles spots because of the wind.”

The wind forced the Cats to make some mistakes they otherwise didn’t make and kept them on the defensive when they shouldn’t have been, Oehmler said, adding that what is needed in order to play better against the wind, such as going to the net, wasn’t the style of her players, while North Posey seemed better adapted to it.

The first singles and first doubles players from a nonadvancing team can move on, if they can make through the Sectional undefeated.

Redman and the first doubles team gave that their best shot.

Redman came back from his first set loss to upend Nick Scheller in the second set, but struggled with inexperience and too many Scheller weapons in the third set to fall 6-3, 4-6, 6-1.

At first doubles, Steinhart and Oberle overcame a first set loss as well and also put up a strong fight, but came up short in the third set, losing to Dillon Davenport and Ty Butler 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

“At one singles and one doubles, we saw really good leadership and solid play and determination after losing the first set at both spots,” Oehmler said. “I was pleased with those guys and how they way they figured out a way to win the second set and move on to a third set.”

Inexperience may have gotten the better of Redman, who may not have had much left after winning the second set. The third set at doubles was tied 3-3 before Butler and Davenport made some good returns on some strong Mount Vernon serves.

Oehmler saw improvement at the other positions even

Members of the North Posey Sectional championship tennis team are, First row (left to right): Kyle Voegel, Griffin Motz, Drake Davenport, Ty Butler and Dylan Krohn. In the second are (left to right): Reed Gerteisen, Nick Voegel, Eric Wargel, Nick Scheller, Dillon Davenport, Brandon Spahn, Alex Wade and Charlie Grimes. though they were all off the court quickly to determine the team score.

At second doubles, Brandon Spahn and Eric Wargel had some trouble from Curt Crabtree and Layton Hopper before the Viking duo posted a 6-3, 7-5 victory. Oehmler felt that her team played well at a spot which has been a roller coaster for the Cats this season.

Third singles came off the courts first, as Alex Wade handled Todd Sheffer 6-1, 6-3, while Dylan Krohn punched the Vikings’ ticket to the semifinals with a 6-4, 6-1 win over Ross Canada at second singles.

Sheffer was the hero of the night Tuesday, as Mount Vernon ended the regular season with a 3-2 win at Mater Dei. The freshman was third singles player was the last one off the court, beating Mater Dei’s Garrett Scott 6-2, 7-6 to clinch the meet.

Redman also played a big role, beating Paul Elpers 6-4, 6-1 at first singles, while Mount Vernon picked up its other at first doubles, where Oberle and Steinhart were 6-1, 6-2

winners over Joe Ritter and Andrew Schmitt.

“Jevin did a great job of playing and beating a kid who was pretty athletic,” Oehmler said. “He just did a solid job, but Todd was the one that walked off late. It was (Mater Dei’s) senior night and they had a big crowd there. They were cheering for (Scott) quite loudly. (Sheffer), as a freshman, just stood up and returned everything.”

Austin Knapp topped Canada at second singles 6-1, 6-0, while Seth Wannemuehler and Mike Elpers were 6-1, 6-0 winners over Crabtree and Hopper.

The two reserve teams tied 1-1.

Complete final results are as follows: In the sectional final against Mater Dei, Nick Scheller at No. 1 singles beat Mater Dei’s Paul Elpers 6-0, 6-0, At No. 2 singles Dylan Krohn beat Austin Knapp 6-0, 6-0, and at No. 3 singles Alex Wade beat Garrett Scott 6-3, 6-0. At the No. 1 doubles, Dillon Davenport and Ty Butler beat Joe Ritter and Andrew Schmitt 6-0, 6-0 and at No. 2 doubles Eric Wargel and Brandon Spahn beat Mike Elpers and Seth Wannemuehler 6-2, 6-4.

Meagan Martin dug up the ball 10 times to go along with 31 assists. Brittany Wallis also had three aces to share team-high honors with Koch.

Mount Vernon also left the reserve Lady Aces in a less than golden position, winning the preliminary 25-15, 25-14.

The Lady Wildcats started the week by outlasting Gibson Southern 25-13, 23-25, 25-13, 17-25, 16-14.

Koch had eight blocks and 19 kills to lead Mount Vernon, while Martin registered 39 assists and four aces, sharing team-high honors with Wallis, who also had 12 digs.

The reserve Cats took their contest 25-22, 25-24.

“We were really, really tired when we played (Gibson Southern),” Allford explained. “But we managed to pull out a

win, which was really important. They got a day off and they earned it. They were really tired and it showed.”

As for Mount Carmel, well, it was another Big Eight team and the Lady Cats were ready to go for that one.

There were just two more to go before winning a championship.

The Lady Cats got both of those this week.

Volleyball, from Page 2B “It was kind of a give-and-take thing today,” Allford said.

“I feel life offensively, we’re not making too many errors and defensively, we’re picking stuff up, so if we’re not making any mistakes, we’re not doing too badly.”

Allford called the championship a team effort and expressed her pride in the team’s accomplishments.

The Lady Wildcats tuned up for the title tilt by beating conference foe Mount Carmel and then Gibson Southern earlier in the week.

On Thursday night, the Lady Cats went across the Wabash River and aced Mount Carmel in three sects 25-11, 25-15, 25-14.

Koch registered 16 kills, three blocks and three aces, while

Football, from Page B1 Gunn carried the ball nine times for the Marksmen, threw for a touchdown, had seven solo tackles and six tackle assists.

But the Vikings got the score back quickly when Motz hit Harness from seven yards out with 1:04 remaining to take a 35-14 lead. Then, in a new kicking strategy, the Vikings’ Nick Crumbacher kicked the ball low and hard into the front of the Marksmen’s return team and the Vikings recovered

after the ball ricocheted off a Marksmen lineman and less than a minute later, Motz hit Jared Reidford with a 17yard scoring strike to put the game out of reach with seven seconds remaining in the first half.

The Motz to Reidford connection worked well and worked often on Friday night as Reidford finished with seven catches for over 100 yards on the night. Harness finished with five catches for 57 yards. Neidig and Calvert

each had three catches as Neidig had 88 yards and Calvert 34. Reidford also had a kick-off return for a team-high 13 yards.

The Vikings were somewhat effective on the ground, as well, as Harness carried seven times for 81 yards while Calvert finished with 32 yards on 12 carries and Jourdan Cox had 28 yards on nine carries. Eric O’Risky carried twice for four yards and Derek Voegel had a carry for three yards.

The Vikings finished the night with 418 yards of total offense, 277 of those coming in the air.

The defense was equally impressive as Luke Morrow led the team with seven tackles and three assists.

Harness had six tackles (one for a 5-yard loss) and Conner Cain had five tackles and two assists. Alex Maile had four tackles and one assist.

Chris O’Risky, Alex Goebel, Kurt Seibert, Orry Weiss, and Calvert each had a pair of tackles. Brandon Baumgart, Neidig, Voegel, and Anthny Webb were each credited with a tackle.

The Vikings will take their 3-4 record to Tecumseh on Friday night to tangle with the Braves. Game time at Lynnville is 7 p.m.

Viking volleyball, from Page A1 coming down to which team attacked the most and not just push the ball,” Gentil said.

Gentil said he feels that a change in the rotation a few games ago has helped the team as big hitter Wendi Simpson now serves as a catalyst coming off the bench for the Lady Vikings.

“Wendi can come off the bench with her powerful hits and really boost the team,” Gentil said. “She is a little more into the game that way.”

“Tonight they just had that fight in them that they wanted to win,” Gentil said. “It was great to finally see them work as hard in the

match as they do in practice.”

Come Enjoy “A Taste of Ol’ Mexico”

By Dave Pearce It was an emotional night on Thursday at North Posey High School soccer field as the North Posey Vikings hosted the Princeton Tigers on senior night.

Following a hard-fought 3-1 win which featured a pair of goals from senior Nichole Perry and a goal from fellow senior Haley Allen, North Posey Coach Pleasant Dike recognized her seniors.

Thursday’s home win was the final home game for seniors Perry, Allen, and Nikki Woolston. The Vikings will face Mount Vernon in the first round of this week’s Evansville Sectional. The Lady Vikings and the Lady Wildcats opened the season with a 3-2 win by Mount Vernon at North Posey.

Dike was often emotional in her speech addressed to her players and their parents.

This year’s three seniors were freshmen when Dike took over the girl’s soccer program four years ago.

“You have taught these girls that doing what is right is not always the easiest way but you have taught these girls that it may take a lot of time, hard work

Nikki Woolston is honored with her parents following Thursday eveing’s senior night win over Princeton. Photo by Dave Pearce and personal sacrifice in order to get what you want,” Dike told the parents of the seniors. “Thank you for being dedicated and involved parents.”

Dike went on to tell the three seniors that they should never settle for anything less than they deserve.

“Be patient and don’t live your lives on some-

one else’s timetable,” Dike told the girls. “Never settle for average because none of you are average people.

Picking out the best option sometimes takes longer but even though it takes longer, it leads to much greater happiness.

Dike told the crowd that because of the quality of the three seniors, it felt like she

was losing more than three players to graduation this year. Five juniors are expected to move up next year along with six sophomores on the team who will be juniors.

A strong North Posey Junior High club team should help the future of North Posey soccer shine for years to come.

Lady Wildcats finish big at South Spencer

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon girls’ soccer team was struggling as the regular season wound down last week.

And then they went to Rockport on Saturday.

Jenny Koch and Katie Cox each scored four goals as the Lady Wildcats showed everyone (including themselves perhaps) that they weren’t “just Mount Vernon” anymore with an 8-1 win over South Spencer in their regular season finale.

“The week definitely ended better than it began,” Liz Castle said. “We had been battling injuries and playing as many as 9-10-11 girls and the injuries hurt us.

We’re looking forward to getting healthy and getting everyone back in time for Sectionals.”

Castle likes her team’s postseason draw and felt that the Lady Wildcats had been a hard-working group that going to take next week’s extended break and use it prepare for the postseason and get healthy for it.

They went into that break by dominating the Lady Rebels.

Koch had two assists and Cox helped out on one as the Lady Cats finished their

regular season with a 9-8 record. Jenna Reidford also turned in a pair of assists, while Kinsey Johnson, Ellen Searcy and Samantha Schue each helped out with one.

“The girls really stepped up and they’re working together as one,” Castle said.

“They’re working on getting ready for the Secitonal.”

The Lady Cats are off un-

til Oct. 11, when they open Sectional play against North Posey at the EVSC fields.

One Thursday, the Lady Wildcats dropped a 3-2 double overtime decision at Boonville, despite two goals from Cox. Scheu added an assist, but it wasn’t enough as Mount Vernon dropped its second game of the week.

The Lady Cats rallied late

in regulation to force the extra period, but the Lady Pioneers scored with 3:28 to go in the second overtime to nail down the Big Eight Conference win.

Adi Bilger scored two goals Tuesday as visiting Forest Park smacked the Lady Cats 3-1.Megan Randall scored the lone Mount Vernon goal.

Wildcats, Vikings to face off

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon and

North Posey girls’ soccer teams opened the regular season by playing each other.

And that’s how they’ll start the postseason.

The Sectional draw for boys’ and girls’ soccer throughout Indiana was held Tuesday night and the Lady Wildcats and Lady Vikings were paired against each other in the opening game of the Evansville West (Reitz) Sectional, set to open on Monday, Oct. 11, at 5 p.m., on the EVSC east field.

The county will be represented in the girls’ semifinals, where the North PoseyMount Vernon winner will take on either Mater Dei or Wood Memorial on Thursday, Oct. 14, also at 5 p.m.

The championship is set for Saturday, Oct. 16, at 2 p.m.

Regardless of the outcome, there will be only one Posey County team in the second round. Mount Vernon won the season opener 3-2 at North Posey.

Gibson Southern and Princeton will meet in the other quarterfinal round, on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 5 p.m., with Central meeting Reitz

in the second contest. Those winners will meet in the second game on Oct. 14.

Both boys’ teams will also be Sectional first-nighters, although they will be in different venues.

The Wildcat boys will take on Central in the first game of the Bears’ Sectional, set for Thursday at 6 p.m., on the EVSC West field, while the Vikings and Wood Memorial Trojans will square off at 6 p.m. in the Princeton Sectional opener.

If the county teams win their respective opening games, they’ll face teams which have drawn first-round byes. The Mount VernonCentral winner will take on Mater Dei in the Oct. 9 semifinals, while the North PoseyWood Memorial winner will face Gibson Southern.

North and Reitz are in the other bracket at Evansville, while Pike Central and Princeton square off in the other Semifinal bracket at Princeton.

Both sectional champions will be crowned on Oct. 9, with both games starting at 7 p.m.

Mater Dei turns Cat fight into a one-sided affair

By Steve Joos The Mater Dei football team took a trip to Mount Vernon Friday night and then took Mount Vernon on a trip—to the woodshed.

Cody Hess rushed for 153

yards and four touchdowns, while Dane Muter completed 11 of 16 passes for 176 yards and two more scores as the state’s third-ranked Class 2A gridiron team roared to a 39-7 halftime lead and pum-

meled Mount Vernon 46-26.

The win was the Evansville school’s first over Mount Vernon in three years, which was another motivating factor, according to Mount Vernon coach Paul

Conservation Officer Dan Belwood will offer the Indiana Hunter Safety Course open to the public.

There is no charge for the course. The course is a minimum 10 hours which covers topics dealing with hunter responsibility, firearms safety, water safety, atv laws, archery, muzzleloader hunting handguns, and wildlife management.

The dates for the course will be October 9 and 10 from 8 a.m. till 2 p.m. Attendance each day is required for certification.

This course will meet the requirements for youth hunters born after Dec. 31, 1986 that need a certification before they can purchase a hunting license.

far this season and Maier is trying to get that to change.

On Friday, Mount Vernon only managed 83 yards rushing, compared to 226 for Mater Dei. Stemple had 43 of those to go along with 162 yards through the air.

The senior signal-caller connected for two touchdowns, but he was picked off once while trying to escape the Mater Dei blitz.

“We’ve got to get something out of our running game,” Maier said. “Sometimes just the threat of a ground game could open up other avenues for us.”

They mixed the run in a bit as Mount Vernon mounted a 13-play, 77-yard drive which Jon Hoehn topped off with a one-yard run, making the score 46-13 after three quarters.

Hoehn also hauled in a four-yard scoring pass from Stemple seven seconds into the fourth quarter as Mount Vernon scored twice in the final chapter. A 20-yrad run

by Terbeck with 2:42 left in the game. Deig’s kick made the final score 46-26.

Maier complimented Mater Dei on its abilities and size.

“Mater Dei is tremendous,” the coach said.

“There’s a reason they’re 7-0 now. They’re a good football team. It’s more about us. We did not handle things well.”

And they came ready to play Friday night.

Mount Vernon was only penalized four times against Mater Dei, but those penalties came at the worst possible moments. Just like everything else.

MV outfitters to host safety course

team’s defense appeared to have the Evansville team stopped, but Maurer found David Euler for an 18-yard gain on fourth down and then he hit the junior receiver for another score, this one from 17 yards out. Jochim’s kick made the score 21-7 Mater Dei with 17.8 ticks left on the clock.

But things were just beginning to get away from Mount Vernon.

On the opening play of the second quarter, Stemple was forced into the end zone, where he apparentlythrew an incomplete pass. He was whistled for intentional grounding, Mater Dei got a safety and the ball back. Six plays later, Hess punched it in from a yard out, Jochim added the kick and Mater Dei held a 30-7 advantage with just over three minutes gone in the period.

Hess added six more points on an 11-yard run with 3:40 left in the quarter. Mount Vernon blocked that kick, but the Mater Dei kicker made up for that with a 38-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.

Defensively, Mater Dei simply went man-to-man with Mount Vernon’s receivers and refused to let them get very deep, Maier said.

They blitzed and blitzed some more, at least until the second half.

Hess capped the scoring for Mater Dei on a 23-yard run with 7:16 to go in the third quarter. Jochim’s kick made it 46-7 before Mount Vernon got a few scores.

“We just made the decision to go under center, run the ball and throw the ball,” Maier said. “We tried to be 50-50 and keep Mater Dei off-balance.”

Mount Vernon’s ground game has been ineffective so

Maier.

His team may have played better in the second half, but Maier wasn’t taking any consolation in any bright spots.

“We were able to improve in the second half, but we just plain got our tails whipped in the first half,” Maier said.

“That’s what’s disappointing to me. Let’s be honest here. We didn’t play well in the first half, they came, and they took it to us and they deserved to win.”

Tyler Osborne came in after halftime and provided Mount Vernon with some physicality in the backfield, but while it helped protect quarterback Jason Stemple at times, he couldn’t really hold off Mater Dei’s blitzing defense in the first half.

The first seven minutes of the game were actually competitive. Hess scored his first touchdown of the night with 9:38 to go in the opening chapter on a one-yard run, but Mount Vernon answered with a scoring drive of its own, capped by Jason Stemple’s 11-yard touchdown toss to Will Terbeck.

Zac Deig’s kick tied the score at 7-7.

That would be as close as the game got, as Mater Dei went looking for its belt and found it on the team’s next possession.

On second down from his own 41-yard line, Maurer found Hunter Owen and the junior wide receiver broke away for 59 yards and a touchdown. The second of Issac Jochim’s five extra points put Mater Dei in front 14-7 with 3:21 to go.

That should have been the score at the break, right?

Wrong.

County runners are successful in conference championships

By Dave Pearce The Jasper Wildcats used a strong front four to carry them to the Big Eight Conference cross country title on Saturday at the University of Evansville course in Warrenton.

The Mount Vernon Wildcats were expected to give the Wildcats all they wanted as they had beaten the Dubois County team just a week ago in a similar invitational. But on Saturday, it was just not to be as the Mount Vernon squad ran well but finished just behind Jasper in the team standings.

“I thought we ran well but I was a little disappointed in the outcome,” Mount Vernon boys’ cross country coach Tim Searcy said following the meet. “We had beaten Jasper just a couple of weeks ago but it was close.

We beat them by four points. We knew it was going to be close. We new basically that there were two or three teams who had a shot at it and it was going to be close.”

Mount Vernon’s Ken Renshaw, who has led the team all season, ran second most of the way until the final 800 meters of the race.

Renshaw finished fourth, earning him All Big Eight Conference honors.

“A couple places here or a couple of places there and we are the team winning by eight points,” Searcy said of the final tally. “It is one of those things where I am happy that the guys competed well but we just came up a little bit short today.”

Searcy said there were no real disappointments from a time standpoint.

“Everyone ran just about where they should have,” Searcy said. “I thought our effort was good. I was a little disappointed with the outcome but certainly not the effort.”

For the Wildcats, Renshaw was fourth while D.A. Wilson was sixth and Ryan Dick

was ninth, all good enough to claim All Big Eight Conference honors.

If there was a big surprise for the Wildcat coach, it came in the reserve team race where Adam Hoehn ran what his coach termed a “great race,” finishing second in that race.

“If he had a little more distance left, I think he would have caught the kid in front of him,” Searcy said. “He just ran out of course.

And he is just a freshman. And in the varsity race, Dane Wilson ran well for a freshman.

He ended up in the top 15.”

“Overall, the team ran well but those are the two guys who kind of stood out as having extremely good runs today,” Searcy said.

“Colin Knight also had a nice day.”

Searcy was quick to point out what his team accomplished, not what they did not accomplish.

“We have to look at it this way. We only had three guys coming back this year who had run a varsity race,” Searcy said. “We are still looking at it that we are a very young team because we only graduate our top two guys. We return five of our top seven.”

In the girls’ race, Brianna Ries finished in the top ten in the meet, earning All Conference honors for herself and coach Jenny Ploetz. The good news from the girls race was that the Wildcats actually had a full healthy team to compete.

Besides Ries, who finished eighth, Olivia Baldwin finished 23rd, Rachel Cash finished 24th, Ashton Fuelling was 28th, and Cally Schisler was 31st.

Jasper took first place honors with 36 points while Mt. Carmel and Boonville tied for second with 80 points. Princeton, Mount Vernon, and Vincennes, respectively, finished out the field.

Lady Rappites show marked improvement as tourney nears

By Steve Joos The New Harmony volleyball team won one and hung around in three others.

That’s the best way to sum up Tuesday’s match.

The Lady Rappites didn’t beat Wood Memorial Tuesday night, but they did make sure the Lady Trojans know they were in a match.

New Harmony won the first set and then gave the visiting Lady Trojans a battle in each set before bowing 20-25, 25-19, 25-19, 25-17.

New Harmony may have caught the Lady Trojans a bit off-guard, according to coach Emily Pruitt.

“I think that team underestimated us a lot,” Pruitt said. “Now we know what we need to work on.”

Moving and talking consistently are among the things the Lady Rappites need to work on, Pruitt said, adding that many of Wood Memorial’s points scored when they caught New Harmony flat-footed and the Lady Rappites didn’t finish a play.

Jessica Strickland was another problem for New Harmony, according to Pruitt.

The big junior served a number of points as the Lady Trojans came back from the first set loss and ultimately, fended off New Harmony.

Alyssa Scherzinger got the Lady Rappites off and running by serving the first three points of the match. Five more off Kelsey Owen’s offerings put New Harmony up 10-4 and the team maintained that six-point edge for most of the game, at least until Wood Memorial got four with Alexis Conder at the line and then took advantage of three straight scoreless New Harmony possessions to pull to within a point on a kill and a net error, both with Strickland serving.

A double hit call broke Strickland’s serve and enabled the Lady Rappites to stretch the lead back to four points and finally put Wood away with two of Sam Golden’s serves.

Wood had the upper hand in the next three sets, but they needed to shake off some very pesky Lady Rappites.

In the second game, the Lady Trojans took a six-point lead, but the Lady Rappites kept trying to reel them in, closing to within 1817 on five points with Morgan Matthews at the line. A three-point string finally put New Harmony away.

The third game was almost a carbon copy of the second, with the Lady Trojans opening a 9-2 bulge at the beginning and New Harmony pruning it back to six, then reclaiming the lead at 15-14 when Brianna Suttles served seven straight points. But a dump kill gave the ball back to Wood Memorial and the New Harmony lead quickly vanished.

The two teams went back and fourth in the fourth game, with New Harmony taking a two-point lead at one point, until the Lady Trojans broke things open with six unanswered points.

“The couple points they scored in a row was our fault,” Pruitt said. “If we would have played from start to finish, it would have been different.”

The Lady Rappites’ still have a fairly young team, even with six seniors, the coach explained, adding that the entire team is new to her style of coaching and have to learn the little things that can help them be successful.

She was pleased with Mathews and Sara Trembzynski, who did a good job until wearing down in the fourth set. Anna Busler also showed improvement, Pruitt said, adding that the entire team is starting to get better.

Wood Memorial also took the reserve contest 25-5, 25-15.

Tuesday’s contest followed a less than impressive performance at Gallatin County, won by the Lady Hawks 25-12, 25-18 (under Illinois rules, a team only needs to win the best two of three).

“Went in there on hopes,” Pruitt said. “We really weren’t prepared for that game. We went in there thinking ‘they were a small school like us’ and not thinking about the game. They were a good team, but we should have played a lot better.”

The reserves also lost to the Lady Hawks 25-14, 25-15.

Vikings get the better of Posey rival Wildcats

By Steve Joos There are 11 seniors on this year’s Reitz boys’ soccer team.

But they were a man short for Wednesday’s senior-night contest with Mount Vernon at the EVSC Fields.

That didn’t seem to matter, as former North Posey mentor Bob Dale’s Panthers took an early lead and held on from there to nip the vesting Wildcats 3-2.

Matt Strupp took advantage of a giveaway in the back with eight minutes left in the game and Alex Austin make thing interesting by sticking in a penalty kick with 1:07 to play, but it wasn’t enough as Mount Vernon closed out its regular

season with a loss against a team that was a player shy of a full team---of seniors.

Senior Jared Estes was hospitalized with a collapsed lung and missed the game, leaving just 10 seniors available for the contest. While the team dedicated the game to Estes, junior Aaron Gott stepped in and stepped up, booting in two goals as the Panthers took a 3-0 lead before the Cats could respond.

Aaron Gearhart had the other goal, drawing first blood for Reitz on a reflection from 35 yards out with six minutes gone in the game.

Gott scored off a pass from Laine Tyler with 12 minutes left in the first half and con-

nected again off a pass from Gearhart16 seconds into the second half.

Dale’s former team also gave the Wildcats trouble in their recent county battle.

Mount Vernon coach Travis Kaiser saw a lot of good things in his team’s recent game at North Posey, but there were also a few things that didn’t look so good.

For one thing, the Wildcats were a little bit slow in the first half.

As if that was anything new for Mount Vernon.

The Vikings took advantage of that speed, scoring three first-half goals en route to a 4-1 win over their county rivals.

“I’d say that was the best we’ve looked all year passing the ball,” Kaiser said. “We struggled inside the 18 (yard lines) on the offensive side and the 18s on the defensive side.

We aren’t doing well deep on either side of the ball.”

North Posey coach Scott Butrum also liked what he saw as far as his team’s improvement was concerned.

“They played much better tonight,” Buttram said.

“They’re preparing for Sectionals and I believe we can keep that going.”

Everyone was somewhat healthy and that enabled the Vikings to unleash a balanced offensive attack on their county rivals, as four different North Posey players scored goals.

Nick Crumbacher had one of the goals, along with two assists, of the Vikings. The junior got North Posey off and running by converting a pass from Andrew Reich with just over 10 minutes gone in the game.

Tyler Stock scored with 18:40 to go, and then Kyle Swope made it 3-0 North Posey off a pass from Crumbacher with 5:28 to go in the first a half.

Addison Schmitt closed out the scoring for the Vikings with 13:28 to play in the second half. Schmitt also added an assist for North Posey.

Slowness in shifting and going to the ball are among the main reasons for the Cats’ breakdowns deep, Kaiser explained, as North Posey’s pressure caused the Wildcats trouble. Being behind the Vikings and not being able to stop them once they got the ball didn’t help matters either.

“We were a step slow,” the

coach said. “They were able to get to the ball and we weren’t.

When they had possession of the ball down in our territory as often as they did, you’re going to get more opportunities. That’s wart happened.

They took it to us and we were slow to react.”

Mount Vernon picked it up a bit in the second half, but Kaiser would like to see his team get things together on both sides, the coach said, adding that the team moved the ball better after the intermission and if they can continue to do that, they’ll get more chances offensively.

Butrum thought that the Vikings played better to their feet and they played together as a team in the first half.

As for the second half, the North Posey coach thought Mount Vernon seemed to be setting the pace.

“In the second half, we played kickball,” he said.

“We played exactly whatever kind of soccer they wanted to play.”

The Cats averted a shut out with 11:41 left in the game when Andy Kuper took a pass from Will Stevens.

Butrum felt that his team was starting to round into shape for the postseason and that they showed improvement over what had been an up-and-down season so far.

The short-handed Wildcat reserve team registered another scoreless tie.

Mount Vernon’s woes continued, as they fell to visiting Vincennes 6-2.

“It’s no fun,” Kaiser said.

“We’re still struggling to keep control of the ball. We’re struggling with our defense and 30 times more with our offense.”

The Cats weren’t able to keep the ball in front of them and they weren’t hitting their forwards, while the Alices were able to get the ball up front and get 14 shots on goal.

For the season, Mount Vernon is averaging 14-20 shots on goal per game.

Dylan Reubenacker scored a goal and assisted on one

by Dexter Volz, but it wasn’t enough as the Alices jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and stretched it to 4-1 at halftime.

Alex Austin helped out as Reubenacker scored the Cats’ first goal of the night.

The short-handed reserve posted another win, beating the Alices 1-0 in the preliminary. Tommy Martin scored

the only goal of the game for the Wildcat reserves. Even thought team was reduced to 10 players, the reserves were 2-0-2 over the last two weeks.

It started with a dramatic, come-from-behind overtime win on the road and the week went steadily downhill after that.

A week which started with a big win at Princeton came to a rather muted end as the visiting Boonville Pioneers blanked the Wildcats 3-0 in another Big Eight Conference match-up.

In the middle of those two games was a 4-1 loss to Mater Dei where the Wildcats got better after the intermission.

That was also the case against Boonville, but Mount Vernon wasn’t as intense and they weren’t able to get the ball in the back of the net.

“We’ve got into some kind of groove for some reason,” Kaiser said. “Against Mater Dei, we started out kind of sluggish, slow kind of ‘ah, we’ll just sit here and wait and wait.’ I don’t know.”

The Cats are missing their two starting fullbacks, Matt Kuhlenschmidt (broken leg) and Nick Theodosis (mild concussion), and their absence may be starting to kick in, the coach said, but he also felt that the rest of the team needed to step up and fill in where needed.

One bright spot for the Cats was the play of goalkeeper Seth Wolf. With regular goal keeper Zac Deig concerned about a sore groin, Wolf moved into the box and did a good job of keeping Mount Vernon’s opponents at bay.

While Kaiser was pleased with Wolf’s efforts, he was unhappy with the team’s overall defense.

“We gave them too many chances,” Kaiser said. “We just let them roam around and do what they wanted.”

The defense let the Pioneers’ Blake Cobb run very freely, as he scored a pair of goals. Marc Collins added a goal and assisted with another, while Anthony Seiler and Alex Salee had the other assists.

Wildcat reserves pulled out a 2-1 win over Boonville Saturday, as Will Stevens and Travis Morrow each scored goals for the Cats, with Morrow’s boot enough to give them the win late in the second half.

The Cats had a strong sec-

ond half in their game with Mater Dei, even though they were nicked for three goals in a 4-1 loss to the visitors from Evansville.

The first half? Not so much.

“It kind of looked like we were walking in cement in the first half,” Kaiser said. “It looked like we just weren’t in it. We were fortunate just to be down 1-0 in the first half.

Mater Dei has a good team, they had 14 shots on goal in the first half.”

As for why Mount Vernon picked things up in the second 40 minutes, Kaiser didn’t have an answer.

“We could have been overwhelmed,” he said. “We’re waiting on somebody to be leader when somebody has to be one, I don’t know.”

The Mater Dei offense kept Deig busy in the goalie box throughout the game, but he seemed to play better in the second half, in spite of the fact that Mater Dei did most of its scoring after the intermission.

The team played better as well, but the coach was still concerned about filling a few holes before the Sectional.

Travis Wannemuehler scored two goals for Mater Dei, while Jacob Rheinlander added a goal and an assist. In addition to the two mouthfuls, Josh Elpers added a goal, while Alex Grabert and Jordan Weinzapfel each helped out worth assists.

Reubenacker scored Mount Vernon’s only goal of the night with 3:47 left in the contest, on a break the Cats hadn’t been getting that often this season.

They finally got the ball out wide to Reubenacker, who tired to pass it to Volz on a cross only to have the ball bounce off a Mater Dei player into the back of the net.

“Usually it bounces off of us and goes into the net,” Kaiser joked.

The loss was especially disappointing in light of the Princeton game, where the Cats notched their first Big Eight Conference win in dramatic fashion, beating the Tigers 2-1 in overtime.

The Tigers took a 1-0 lead in the second half, but Volz scored off a pass from Deig with 4:30 left in regulation to forge a tie. Then Andy Kuper knocked one in for the win.

Mater Dei and Mount Vernon played to a scoreless tie in a 20-minute reserve game.

Marcie Miller continues to look on the bright side irregardless

By Pam Robinson Friends describe Marcie Miller of Mount Vernon as an “eternal optimist.” Certainly, she’s been active in projects to spread hope and goodwill throughout the town ever since she moved here in 2003.

The beauty of the court house lawn caught her eye on her first visit here, and she knew she wanted to share her love of gardening and flowers with the Mount Vernon Garden Club. In addition to club activities, she’s helped with a number of projects from the planting of 21 trees downtown to helping with the care of 300 azaleas that will bloom along the Southwestern Indiana Azalea Trail in the spring. She and her husband John have also provided landscaping for the Mount Vernon Habitat homes.

Yet, her first volunteer activity focused on the number one item on her bucket list: to teach an older adult to read. Already, she had served as a junior high school tutor and a mentor in the Junior Achievement program in Warsaw, Ind., where she lived and worked at R.R. Donnelley printing company.

She readily transferred her skills with instructing youth to tutoring two older adults, clients of Mount Vernon’s Literacy Center, in reading.

Church in

Mount Vernon, she has previously served on the finance committee and now serves as chairperson of the endowment committee. Through her church, she has also supported At the Cross Mission in downtown Mount Vernon, particularly with helping her Sunday school class prepare one of the free meals offered there this summer.

As Chairperson of the Women’s Fund Steering Committee for the Posey County Community Foundation, she fuels her passion to help girls and women value their independence. Particularly in today’s economy, she wants to see girls and women become “self-sustaining and self-supporting.”

Miller and her late husband Jim raised two children. Her daughter Kim lives in Mount Vernon with her husband Mike Keene and their two daughters, Katelin

and Kirstie. Her son Dennis Miller lives in Frankfort, Ind., with his wife Lisa and their two children, Kelsey and Kyle.

She and her husband of four years, John Veevaete, enjoy seeing her son Dennis and grandchildren Kelsey and Kyle in the contest events at the 4-H and Open Horse Shows in Clinton County, Ind. Miller serves as announcer for all the horse contest shows there while her daughter-in-law Lisa keeps the times. In addition, Miller and Veevaete grill twice a year for the Mount Vernon soccer team, with whom granddaughter Kirstie plays.

“It’s been a real good move to come to Mount Vernon,” Miller says. “There are so many gracious people here that make you feel welcome.

This community is very open to newcomers.”

On November 2, 2010 the voters of Posey County will elect a prosecutor to serve our great community. There is a growing consensus among residents that new leadership is needed in this office. I believe that my values, experience, and energy make me the person for the job...

MY GOALS AS COUNTY PROSECUTOR: • Make prosecution of serious and dangerous felonies top priority over misdemeanor •

•

• •

d traffi ffic cases. P i the h citizens ii i dd and Protecting off P Posey C County ffrom serious and dangerous felonies will be my main concern.

Take a stand against meth labs and those who sell drugs in our community. Meth use is an epidemic in Posey County. I believe one way to counteract this problem is to be aggressive and prosecute "meth cooks" to the fullest extent. Posey County deserves a prosecutor who will tackle this problem head-on.

Increase communication and cooperation with local law enforcement. The officers in this county work hard to protect and serve. As prosecutor, I will work closely with law enforcement to help officers acheive their goals. I will be available for officers 24 hours a day to consult on cases and investigations.

Increase child support collections for single parents in our county. I have seen first hand the struggles of single parents not recieving child support and I will make increasing collections a top priority.

Reach out to the community and increase citizen involvement in community safety programs. I believe that residents taking ownership and an active role in community safety programs, such as Neighborhood Watch, makes for a stronger and safer community.
