Operation Heat Wave sends ‘shock waves’ thoughout Posey By Dave Pearce When Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers and Sheriff Greg Oeth were running for their respective offices in Posey County about a year ago, both promised their first priority would be to try and get a grip on the drug problem in Posey County. Clowers ran as a Republican and Oeth as a Democrat but the two have apparently joined forces and good things seem to be happening as a result. With the Posey County Drug Task Force leading the way and some help from friends in several branches of law enforcement throughout the state, the two men made a big step in fulfilling their promise on Friday. An early-morning raid resulted in the arrest of all 21 of those who were being sought on drug charges. The group made the final arrest on Sunday morning around 10:30 a.m. when Malissa Lynn Linder surrendered herself and was taken into custody under the authority of a warrant issued for her arrest. With help from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Indiana State Police, the Indiana State Police SWAT team, the ATF, the Posey County Sheriff’s Department, and the Mount Vernon Police Department, the group of some 95 officers made their first arrest around 6 a.m. on Friday, the result of an investigation which began in February. “I think this will send shock waves through the drug community here in Posey County,” Clowers said following the successful completion of the operation. “I think they realize now that we are not waiting to find them. We are going to go out and find them. But while local law enforcement was happy with the first of what has been termed “Operation Heat Wave,” they are fully aware that despite making a dent in Posey’s drug problem, they are far from finished with their work. “We served 20 arrest warrants this morning for various charging ranging from dealing in methamphetamine to dealing in prescription pills, marijuana, and cocaine,” Clowers said once all officers had returned to the command post which was set up just outside of Mount Vernon. “It was successful and everyone is safe.” Clowers was quick to give credit to all law enforcement involved with the operation but was especially proud of the work that has been done by members of the Posey County Drug Task Force, despite their limited numbers and limited resources. Former Mount Vernon Police Chief Ken Rose who was the organizer from the prosecutor’s office of the pre-dawn raid said it was the result of a seven-month undercover investigation. “We had originally intended it to target illegal prescription pill sales but it branched out to crack cocaine, methamphetamine, stolen weapons, and other controlled substances,” Rose said. “We asked for assistance from the FBI and their Task Force officers that are provided to them by the Indiana State and Evansville Police departments. They kept in contact with us and helped us with an undercover purchase of a stolen firearm.” Rose said the operation then snowballed into more undercover drug buys. Rose said he believes that with this arrest, it is his belief that the main supply of crack cocaine into Posey County has now been cut off. “This is part of a joint effort where we are all trying to be more proactive in dealing with our drug problem,” Clowers said. “It was a smooth operation and there were no injuries,” Oeth said of the successful raid. “I am happy that all our officers went out and came back safely. We will be starting to bring these folks into our court system later on this morning. I think we are sending a message that we

Drug Bust, from Page 1A know what to do and we know how to do it.” Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat also praised the joint efforts of the agencies but expressed his appreciation to the citizens of Mount Vernon for not only their patience but also for tips that members of the community have provided that helped in the eventual arrests. Oeth also emphasized the importance of tips from the community which were followed up with action from the various departments. “This has been a lengthy investigation and we appreciate their patience,” Beloat said. “We recognize the problems that illegal drug trade creates for all of us. Out of the 21 warrants that were served today, 19 were within the city limits of Mount Vernon. We are very happy to announce that and to take those individuals off the streets. We hope that the citizens recognize that we are all out here working hard every day to bring these individuals to accountability. I
want to emphasize that this isn’t the end, it is just the start that the prosecutor’s office, the sheriff, and our agency has undertaken.” Indiana State Police Lt. Dennis Marshall said that with all the agencies work-
ing together, he hopes that the arrests will slow the drug problems in Posey County. Officials reported that after the raid and while officers were still cleaning up at the home of Donald Pilkington on Mackey Ferry Road, they
made another arrest. Fredrick Freimiller, 63, arrived at Pilkington’s property while authorities were still on the scene at the rear of the property. Freimiller was charged with visiting a common nuisance.

Hall Eagle Scout project ful’filling’
Spencer Hall By Rhys Mathew Spencer Hall, currently a Life Scout in Troop 384, organized an item drive for the Posey County Humane Society in Mt. Vernon on September 24 to meet the requirements for his Eagle Project. All Boy Scouts must organize a service project before earning the Eagle Scout rank; projects must include service by other scouts or community members and must be approved
by a board of review. Scouts have much freedom when choosing their project, but the project must benefit the community, not a private or for-profit organization. Hall, 17, chose to help the Humane Society because “[I talked to] a fellow scout who was volunteering there on a weekly basis. The shelter explained their needs to me and I decided to do a drive to help fulfill their needs.” Hall’s planning included distributing flyers on September 17 to alert the Mt. Vernon community that the item drive would be taking place the next week and organizing the routes that volunteers would take. Hall then recruited members of Troop 384 and members of his church, the Church of Latter Day Saints, to assist him in picking up the donations. Around 30 volunteers collected donations from 550 homes in the Mt. Vernon area. The Posey County Humane Society operates almost solely on donations collected from their booths at area festivals and donations brought in by the public. For one current project, West Elementary School classrooms are currently sponsoring 18 animals to help the Humane Society take care of their

many cats, and some organizations volunteer their time to the shelter. Currently the shelter houses 10 dogs and 75 cats; they use about 50 lbs. of dog food, 25 lbs. of cat food and 15 lbs. of kitten food per week. They also use six gallons of bleach, one gallon of laundry detergent and seven rolls of paper towels weekly. Shannon Redman, at the Humane Society, said “When I walked in on Saturday evening [September 24] the hallway was just completely blocked with food, toys, cat litter, paper towels; you name it, they had it.” After the item drive, Hall and Troop 384 were able to donate 211 lbs. of dog food, 97 lbs. of cat food, 70 rolls of paper towels, 31 lbs. of treats, and over $700 in cash and check donations. Redman said, “We were very appreciative for it all. The amount they donated will probably take care of us for a month.” Hall must still return to the board of review with his results before officially earning the Eagle Scout Rank. “I would encourage anyone thinking about helping the Humane Society to do so because they will always have needs,” said Hall. Hall hopes to pass his board of review and have his Eagle Scout Ceremony by soon.

Lifesavers, from Page A1
INGREDIENTS 2 cups whole-grain penne 1 head escarole, roughly chopped 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to taste 1/4 cup capers, drained and patted dry (optional) 5 cloves garlic, sliced 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed slightly, liquid reserved 1 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper • 2 bay leaves • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish • • • • • • • • • •
DIRECTIONS 1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions; add the escarole during the last 2 minutes, cover and do not stir. Remove the escarole with tongs; set aside. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Meanwhile, if you’re using capers, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the capers and fry until crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. 2. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Cook the garlic, parsley and red pepper flakes until the garlic toasts slightly, 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, a pinch of salt and the bay leaves. Cook until the tomatoes and chickpeas brown, about 6 minutes. Add the escarole and reserved tomato juice and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 4 more minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. 3. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with the sauce; season with salt and pepper. (If the sauce is thick, add some reserved pasta water.) Stir in the cheese and top with fried capers, if using, and more cheese. Makes 4 servings. Level: Easy
al from the fire department. Rob Goodwin was a civilian bystander and assisted firefighter Matthews in this event. He was also honored. Juncker said she was working for Dyna-Kleen at GAF and the last thing she remembers is going in and clocking in for work. “They said I grabbed my chest and said I couldn’t breathe,” Juncker said in a Sunday evening interview. “They told me they shocked me eight times… I had no pulse..nothing. Finally they got my heart started again.” “Brian was working for GAF that night and was the first one to me,” Juncker said. Juncker said she had never met Matthews but sure was glad he was around that night. “I had a massive heart attack and was on life support for two days,” Juncker said. “They were able to get two stints in. My heart is functioning at 25 percent and they want it to be 35 percent. I am wearing a portable pacemaker-defibrillator until I go to the doctor on Friday. Then they will determine if they are going to implant one in me permanently.” “The only thing I remember was two friends coming to see me,” Juncker said of her week-long near-death hospital stay. “ I don’t remember my mom or my sons or any of the people who came to visit me.” Juncker said she doesn’t feel like she is anyone special but is glad that Matthews and Goodwin are being honored for their efforts. “I told him that he was the one who saved my
life,” Juncker said of Matthews. “If he hadn’t started it (CPR), I wouldn’t be here. And he’s so young.” Goodwin recently moved to Florida where his wife took a new job but flew in Sunday and got to see a healthier Juncker. “He got goosebumps when he shook my hand,” Juncker said with a laugh. All this will mean a lifestyle change for Juncker which involves eating hearthealthy foods. Juncker said she will know more about here future plans after her doctor’s visit on Friday. “I didn’t see anybody or anything,” Juncker said
when asked what she remembers. “All I know is what people tell me.” “I am just glad to see them,” Juncker said of her family and new friends. “I lost my dad in February so
my mom and my son are especially appreciative. They thought they were going to have to bury me, too.” Greg Elderkin and Esther Holder were the crew on the ambulance.

Disaster loans available for local residents State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) announced residents and employers of Gibson, Posey and Vanderburgh counties may apply for disaster loans if they were negatively impacted by this year’s spring storms. Recently, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) officials — in response to a Sept. 2 letter from Gov. Mitch Daniels — made these special lowinterest loans available to residents, businesses and non-profit organizations affected by severe storms, hail, tornadoes and flooding from April 19 to June 6. Tomes said many in Senate District 49 were, in fact, negatively impacted
by these storms and had already requested assistance earlier this summer, but were denied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “I’m thankful Gov. Daniels requested a disaster declaration by the SBA,” Tomes said. “Now, these loans generated from that appeal can benefit local residents and employers who didn’t have other means of managing the storm damage.” Residential loans are available for damaged real estate and personal property. Employers may apply for loans to cover machinery, equipment, inventory and other assets that were negatively impacted.
Tomes said disaster loan applications may be accessed on SBA’s secure website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/. Special business loan applications may also be downloaded from the SBA website at www.sba.gov. If residents prefer to print and mail their applications, they may be sent to U.S. Small Business Administration Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, Texas, 76155. Tomes said individuals and business owners may call the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 1-800659-2955 for more information.

SCHOOL MVJHS students learn through literature Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a short story in the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling about the adventures of a valiant young mongoose. Throughout the years, the story has been made into an animated film and Orson Welles has produced an audio as well. Most recently, the students from the honor classes of Mr. Purvis (language arts) and Mrs. Benton (social studies) of Mount Vernon Junior High School decided to take Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to court in the case of State of India(na) vs. Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Partnering with local attorney Mrs. Beth McFadin-Higgins and the Posey County Circuit Court, the students researched legal terminology and became familiar with court protocol. A script was written that included the court bailiff, the court reporter, the judge, the prosecutors, the defense counselors, witnesses and jurors. Witnesses included characters from the short story and included Sag, Sagaina and Baby Cobra for the Prosecution. Witnesses for the Defense included Darzee, Darzee’s Wife, and Chuchundra. The fate of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was ultimately in the hands of the jurors (students from the class) after brilliant presentations from both the Prosecutor and the Defense Counsel. After lengthy and stressful deliberations, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was found innocent of 1st degree murder on 3 of the four counts; however, he was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter on the other count. Not only were the students exposed to research and writing, they also became familiar with the legal system through this unique classroom project dealing with Kipling’s short story.

Interns wanted for Statehouse State Sen. Jim Tomes says college upperclassmen and recent graduates can set their resumes apart by gaining unique Statehouse experiences offered through internships with the Indiana Senate Republicans. Tomes (R-Wadesville) said applications for the 2.5-month, Indianapolisbased paid internships — including legislative and communications opportunities — are available online at www.senaterepublicans. in.gov/internship.htm and due on Oct. 31. A resume, two reference letters, official transcripts and a writing sample are also required from applicants, who should have successful academic backgrounds. Interns are invited to attend the General Assembly’s ceremonial Organization Day in mid-November and officially begin their internships with orientation at the end of December.The internships last the duration of the legislative session, which by law is scheduled
to end on or before March 14. “Senate interns will find their time at the Statehouse is both challenging and rewarding,” Tomes said. “From learning the legislative process to helping with constituent relations, there’s always plenty to do during this unique, real-world experience.” Legislative interns will work alongside senators and legislative assistants in responding to constituent calls, letters and e-mails, as well as staffing Senate committees and assisting with floor proceedings. Communications interns will gain practical experience in helping press secretaries prepare and distribute news releases, guest columns, letters to the editor, direct mail, e-newsletters, e-invitations, Web updates, radio feeds, podcasts and video productions. According to Tomes, students should plan to live in or near Indianapolis during the internship period
because of the varied work schedule. A $700 bi-weekly stipend is paid to help with expenses. Tomes said college credit for the internship varies from school to school and is determined by academic advisors. Interns often arrange correspondence or independent courses. A three credit hour state government course, conducted at the Statehouse throughout the session, is available to all interns. At the end of each year’s legislative session, Verizon Communications offers a $3,000 scholarship to the top intern from each caucus — Republican and Democrat. Additionally, each caucus awards a $1,000 scholarship in memory of longtime Senate staffer Rick Gudal. Tomes said students may contact Jennifer Carlton, intern coordinator, by email at jcarlton@iga.in.gov, for more information about internships with the Indiana Senate Republicans.
4-H, the largest federally funded youth development organization in America, is led by adult volunteers who reach youth through a variety of activities and events in both rural and urban settings. 4-H helps youth improve their self-confidence; learn about various subjects; and develop important skills including leadership, citizenship, communication, budgeting, and decisionmaking that can be applied over a lifetime and are vital to becoming a productive citizen. Of course, the highlight of each 4-H year at the local level is the Posey County 4-H Fair, where members exhibit projects they have worked on throughout the year. For their efforts, they receive ribbons, trophies, and other awards at the county and state levels. However, the local 4-H program is more than just the 4-H Fair; it consists of workshops, club meetings, camps, and other education-
al activities and events that enhance children’s education in a fun, safe and handson learning environment. The Posey County 4-H Fair Board and 4-H Council provide leadership for the Posey County 4-H youth development program. The Fair Board is responsible for maintaining the fairgrounds and conducting the fair, and the Council provides the financial support needed to keep the non-formal, educational 4-H program for all youth in Posey County in operation year round. Donations from the community help provide project manuals, club leaders' materials, the 4-H Handbook, trip fees, awards, and other necessary supplies to 4-H youth. Annually, the Posey County 4-H program incurs expenditures of over $15,000. The Posey County 4-H Council is collecting donations to benefit local 4-H youth programming through December for the coming
year. If you are interested in financially supporting Posey County 4-H, please send your donation (made payable to “Posey County 4-H Council”) to 126 E. Third Street, Room 29, Mount Vernon, IN, 47620. If you have questions about the program or are interested in donating your time or talents in lieu of monetary support, please contact the Purdue Extension-Posey County office by calling 812-838-1331 or emailing poseyces@purdue.edu. Positive, powerful things happen when youth team with adults to learn new skills, strengthen their communities, explore the wonders of today's world, and prepare for tomorrow's challenges and opportunities. Without the support of the local community, the 4-H youth development program in Posey County would not be possible. Thank you very much for your support of this unique educational experience for our local youth.
MVHS Fine Arts Academy helps Humane Society Students in the Drawing and Senior AP Studio Art classes at the Mount Vernon High School Fine Arts Academy created a nearly eight foot tall hot dog man to advertise the food being sold by the Posey Humane Society booth at local festivals this fall. The hot dog man’s name is
Top Dog and he was designed by junior Olivia Murphy. The students all created a “Top Dog” cartoon character and the winning design was chosen by one of the PHS booth organizer, Karen Lawson. She said Murphy’s design just looks so “happy.” Lawson was the creative mind behind the booth’s gourmet hot
dog them for this year as well as marketing idea. Top Dog made his debut at the Mount Vernon River Days festival September 9-11 and another appearance at the New Harmony Kunstfest September 17-18. He was a huge hit as was the themed hot dogs. PHS hope to have this as an annual event.

Indiana Senate reaches out to schools State Sen. Jim Tomes (RWadesville) will participate in the Indiana Senate’s school outreach program this year by inviting his youngest constituents to visit the Statehouse and learn why their ideas count. Tomes said the 2011-2012 school calendar marks the 12th year of “America’s Legislators Back to School Program,” a plan sponsored by the National Conference of
State Legislatures (NCSL) to help elected officials in all 50 states give young people a greater understanding of legislative processes used to create public policy. The program began Monday, Sept. 19, and runs throughout the school year. “I am always happy to see Southwestern Indiana residents at the Statehouse,” Tomes said. “It’s the perfect place for students to explore
state history and they can see the legislative process in action during session, which will run from January to mid March this year.” Tomes added that, when available, he would also like to make personal school visits to bring civics to life in the classroom. He said senators hope to utilize the America’s Legislators Back to School Program as much as possible this year.

OPINION
John Wooden: Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be This is going to be painful. After several weeks or even months of discussing the pros and cons of moving the newspaper to a Wednesday paper, my wife was right. It TRUTH... really was not a very good STRANGER idea. THAN There, Connie dearest, you FICTION have it in print. You were right BY DAVE and I was… well, not right. PEARCE Two weeks into changing our newspaper to a Wednesday dateline, I can see that it isn’t working out exactly the way I planned. As a matter of fact, there are a few things that aren’t working out exactly the way I planned. So before many of the readers get accustomed to the new way of doing things, this week, we are going back to the old way of doing things. We will be coming out on Tuesday again. The biggest reason for this is probably because I, of all people, am not adjusting well to the change. To those who don’t know a whole lot about what goes into editing and publishing a weekly paper, allow me to share. First of all, as many around North Posey can attest, I am required (and mostly by choice) to be at many of the school’s sporting events. I love to be around the kids, around sports, and around the parents of those who participate in sports. Usually that is because we generally have a lot in common. We are
both proud of the kids and their accomplishments and we want them to grow up to know what teamwork is about. You win as a team and you lose as a team. That way, the entire responsibility doesn’t fall on one shoulder. That’s why God made so many people, so we can share each others’ burdens and problems…it just makes it easier for all of us. Most of the stories and the information that appears in the Posey County News comes to me first. That’s kind of a prerequisite considering the price of libel insurance these days. It is my strongest desire that information that appears in the Posey County News be truthful, fair, and accurate. Anything short of that is extremely disappointing to me. Secondly, we like for our information to be timely and accurate and fair. And all of it needs to be done in a nice presentable package, easy to read and containing the kinds of things our readers what to read. Again, anything short of that is an extreme disappointment. There was a time not that long ago that change was such an easy thing for me. However, this change in the newspaper schedule, after over three years of juggling schedules to make time for two professions, was more than even I could handle.
For those of you who drive up or down Cale Street late on Sunday night all the way into Monday morning, will find that the lights are on in our recently converted porch. That is now my office/man cave. If is by far the best place I have ever had to work. It is cool and has plenty of windows and is just generally pleasant. Thanks to Shephard Services, Inc., it is just about perfect. However, as people realize that the end of the week is near, my email often goes on overload. Therefore, before I can begin putting the paper together Monday morning, I must proofread and edit all the stories and pictures that come to me. I had thought that the Wednesday dateline would ease that pain for me. However, after settling in on Sunday night for a long night of writing and editing, a change was almost impossible to make. I could not allow myself to go to bed at a decent hour knowing that there was still a lot of work to be done. I laid there, eyes wide open and mind going 1000 miles per hour, worrying about the things that still needed to be done. Then on Monday morning, I had been accustomed to getting up and going to the office to put the paper together. That was the day I got to spend with my staff. I enjoy being around everyone and Monday was a tiring yet fun day as we got to kid around with each other. Even though it seemed we were mostly working, we were also communicating. That was the time I got to spend with my
employees/friends to listen to their thoughts and develop ideas. I have missed that time dramatically over the past two weeks. So to put it in a nutshell, you should be getting your paper again on Tuesday this week. And unless there is an emergency, it should be that way from now on. For those of you who would like to have items in the paper, make it easier on both me and you by getting the items in a little earlier. It is not uncommon for me to be proofreading at 3 a.m. Monday morning. We will continue to try and accommodate crisis situations on Monday morning but our paper must be at the printer at 5 p.m. We begin early Monday morning sending the pages as they are finished. So chances are pretty good that if you wait until Monday morning to get your item to us, the page is already completed and at the printer, since they are sent electronically. We appreciate your continued support of your local newspaper. We appreciate you allowing us to try something a little different. And yes, even I sometimes make mistakes or errors in judgment and this change was a good example. So this week, when you get your paper on Tuesday again, you can proudly say that you read it first in the Posey County News. Chances are good that if you see it here, that’s the only place it can be found. We like it that way. After all, that’s our role.
Robinson wishes meetings fond farewell After over three years with the Posey County News, I am stepping down to lead a much more private life among my friends and neighbors in the community. My work has introduced me to so many of you whom I would otherwise not have known. The handshake of welcome has been extended to me from young and old and those somewhere in the middle, near and far across the county. In particular, Mount Vernon, my place of residency, now feels like home to me. For me, home needs to remain a place of the heart—a safe place where I can feel comfortable interacting with others and they, with me. I’m learning, however, that it’s next to impossible for a reporter to keep from stepping on someone’s toes, especially in a closeknit community like Mount Vernon. Given my personality, I’ve decided I’d rather read the news than write it. Human beings, not meetings, spark my interest. I am most happy and most fully engaged as a writer when I’m telling a person’s
story. My feature articles have cut across political and socioeconomic boundaries, sharing the blessedness of people from all walks of life. I choose now to focus only on writing that blesses—both others and me. Of course, newspaper readers want—and deserve—also to hear about the proceedings of meetings in their community. There’s a place for everything and everybody. It’s just not my place, just not where I want to be. I extend my deepest respect and appreciation to Dave and Connie Pearce, owners of the Posey County News. My employment with them has enabled me to grow both personally and professionally. It’s been a good three years. My readers also deserve tremendous thanks. Several of you have sent me notes of appreciation and valuable story leads over the years. I am grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity. I wish all of you the best. Pamela Robinson
“The Results of Research” Wendy McNamara
Posey County Community Corrections In 2008, Posey County Community Corrections was established to decrease rates of recidivism and help offenders become productive members of society. Posey County Community Corrections is an intensive, results driven, research based program that supervises non-violent offenders who are at a high risk of committing a crime unless rigorous intervention and supervision is administered. It is a court mandated program where clients are monitored through work release, electronic monitoring, random drug testing and daily reporting to the
facility. This program only employs evidence based practices that are developed using the latest research on how to successfully supervise criminal offenders. Their dedication to only implementing research based practices has contributed greatly to the program’s success, and has made them stand out in comparison to other supervisory agencies. The most important aspect of the program is the detailed case management that the clients are provided. The case management team divulges into every aspect of the offenders life to identify what area could trigger them to commit an-

Of course, this was treason for which they paid with their lives. But it does not change the facts. America and the Soviet Union were too afraid to chance another conflagration. This concept is central to the United Nations. Weak countries go to the U.N. for protection from strong countries, usually a neighbor. Tai Wan joined the U.N. for protection from China, for example.

other crime, such as anti social behavior, substance abuse, no support network and poor family relations. Identifying and addressing these triggers and behavior patterns is key to the success of the individual. Their utilization of research based practices has lead to results, and significant ones. They have a 91% success rate of clients that complete the program or are still in compliance with the rules. Of offenders who have completed the program, 89% have not committed another crime. This program is reducing societal cost and increasing public safety.
Gavel Gamut’s “A League of Nations” President Woodrow Wilson conceived of the League of Nations after the carnage of the Great War, AKA, the War to End all Wars, AKA, World War I. It was a grand dream in which wars could be terminated, or even better, eliminated by having nations meet instead of fight. The United States Congress voted not to join so President Wilson's dream had to wait for the United Nations whose charter provides: Because war begins in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that war must end. Plato may have been right when he posited that only the dead have seen the end of war, but hope springs eternal. However, we know human nature has not changed so the powerful continue to refuse to negotiate with the weak. That is the reason Ethyl and Julius Rosenberg stole the secret for the atomic bomb and gave it to the

in engineering the admission of Tai Wan. We knew China would not deal fairly with such a weak country. If China had been allowed to simply demand that Tai Wan deal directly with China to join the U.N., there would be no use for the U.N. The same is true of Palestine and Israel. Israel does not have a permanent seat on the Security Council and does not wield a veto. Yet America, for purely domestic political reasons, is demanding that Palestine deal directly with Israel rather than seeking relief through the United Nations. This contravenes the purpose of the United Nations, is nonsensical and is morally wrong. America sees itself as the defender of the underdog. Let's, at least, not sic a powerful nation on a weaker one seeking redress for grievances it claims have been foisted on it by that powerful neighbor.
Dr. Keith Spurgeon (L), United Way of Posey County Campaign Chairman, recognizes Fran Thoele, school superintendent, on behalf of New Harmony Public School, for an outstanding United Way campaign among New Harmony Public School employees.
New Harmony School proud to be United Way pacesetter I am a fairly new to Posey County having only lived here for five years. I had not been in Posey County long before I was impressed by the kindness of the people of Posey County. Shortly after I moved to the county there were three children and their mother who lost their housing in New Harmony. This was just weeks before the end of the school year. The children were very concerned and upset. They didn’t know what was going to happen to them. They didn’t know where they were going to live. They didn’t know if they were even going to be able to continue in school in order to earn credits for the school year. This family was given temporary housing at the Homeless Shelter of Mt. Vernon. When this happened a huge burden was lifted off of these children. This allowed them to finish a successful school year. It allowed them to deal with a situation they didn’t understand or have any con-

trol over. I learned a number of things from this. I learned that the Homeless Shelter of Mt. Vernon is run by some hard working volunteers that assist directly with the shelter. I learned that this shelter is supported by people of Posey County through their donations to the United Way. I learned that there are 20 other agencies that are supported by the United Way. I learned that all of these United Way supported agencies touch the lives of kids
and their families every day in Posey County. And most importantly I learned that the people of Posey County are truly special. They are kind and generous. They show that they care about their neighbors by giving generously to the United Way. Please continue to give to the United Way because there are children in Posey County that need us.

IN NEW HARMONY
Community input critical as New Harmony School future pondered
Special to the News It appears that there could be some changes in the works for New Harmony School, if results from public input have anything to do with it. The New Harmony School Board hired a consultant to find out answers to some of the questions being asked in New Harmony. On September 7, 2011, interviews were conducted with staff, community members, and parents. Seventeen (17) staff members participated and forty-four (44) parents and community members participated. Additional phone calls were made to individuals who could not attend the meeting. All participants were ensured of the anonymity of the input and were open and respectful. The consultant provided an overview of the purpose of the meeting and also some history of school funding (changes to school funding for small schools and decreasing enrollment) and state policy changes (transfer tuition, charter schools and vouchers). The possible options the Board might consider (private donations, consolidation, charter school, referendum) were then discussed, and participants were asked to comment on those options or provide additional suggestions. The following questions were used to guide the discussion: What are the strengths of New Harmony school? What are areas of growth for the school? What questions do you have about the information provided? What options would you like to see the school board consider? Other suggestions/comments? This summary is prepared with those questions as the outline to present input provided by the individuals and groups interviewed. The following represents a summary sampling of the comments and does not reflect every comment, rather the most frequently occurring comments as well as general sentiments. Strengths of New Harmony: Participants expressed value for the school’s presence in the community and the historical contribution to the community. The overwhelming comment centered on the generations of students who had graduated from New Harmony and had been successful. The sense of community in the school and in classes themselves was a frequent comment. Several commented on the advantages of the class sizes and the climate of the school (mentioned no drugs, no bullying, no cliques, etc). Others added that students could participate in all activities due to the small number of students. Several participants discussed the “wonderful” and dedicated teachers in New Harmony. Additionally, according to those participating, older students reacted more frequently with younger students which seemed to work well in creating well rounded students. Most commented about personalization—staff was more likely to “know” every student and monitor their progress.
Areas of Growth: Some participants mentioned that an area of growth opportunity is enrollment—and discovering why students are leaving. Many participants felt students were leaving for other schools that offered more opportunity, either in academics or in school activities. Others felt some students were leaving because of dissatisfaction with personnel. Raising the educational standard for the school was mentioned by some participants as a way to draw additional students to New Harmony. School ratings were mentioned by several groups as an area of growth opportunity. Lack of opportunities at the high school level was mentioned as an area of growth, particularly in the area of curriculum and electives. Some individuals commented that students who attend college say that they are “lost” because they haven’t experienced the courses other students who have had. Several participants felt that New Harmony did offer the core classes for the college bound. Other participants commented that high ability students were restricted in advanced courses and therefore, weren’t as well prepared to compete on SAT exams and for scholarships. The lack of cultural diversity and exposure to a wide variety of opportunity was discussed many times, particularly with community members, expressing concern that students are too isolated and insulated from the real world to be prepared and competitive for their future work. The demographics of the community were offered numerous times as an area of growth. Due to the lack of industry in the district, there is little to draw young families to the school district. As a result, the overall population is becoming older and fewer children are enrolling in the school. The small geographical size of district also impacts growth. Options for the School Board to Consider Increase in tax to support school was mentioned by several participants, particularly parents of younger children. There was more sentiment that a referendum would be defeated, particularly because of the small number of community members with children in school. Others commented that while there was support for a school in the community, there was a limit to what people would pay to support that. The increasing free and reduced lunch statistic and the number of retirees on fixed incomes were discussed as limiting the possibility that a referendum could pass. Some business people commented that a referendum for operating expenses was delaying the inevitable and would just mean another referendum in the future. Some participants suggested an education campaign, designed to answer the question “What does this school bring to the community?” There was a minority of participants who felt that, if presented in the right way, a referendum could pass in the community. Overwhelmingly, participants felt that in order to pass a referendum, the community had to value the school and what it means to the community.
Josh Cooke polishes his stepfather Bill Christie’s 1974 Corvette at the Car Show on Sat., Oct. 1 in New Harmony. Cooke said, “We clean it and take it to shows together.”
In one group, the community survey conducted in 2009 was discussed with the focus on the number of individuals who expressed support for additional funds to support the school. A few participants wanted to explore the chartering option; however, this didn’t appear to be an overwhelming popular option. There was considerable discussion around Signature School in Evansville and how that charter school was attracting students in the area. The involvement of University of Southern Indiana was mentioned as a possibility to support a charter school. Some community members expressed frustration that this was not a new problem and that there had been several opportunities in the last ten years to explore several alternatives but there was not interest in changing the model of schooling for New Harmony. While private donations and support were mentioned, there were participants who commented that it is difficult to sustain private donations and support and would be unreliable from year to year. Several individuals mentioned Jane Owen and the contribution and support she had provided the schools during her life as well as the alumni of the school and the community foundation support. Some mentioned pursuing different foundations, such as Gates Foundation and Freedman Foundation, for support. There was a suggestion to consider changes to district boundaries, but several other participants commented that the small area of New Harmony restricts serious consideration of that. School consolidation was discussed with several participants commenting that many students already attend other schools with the new state transfer tuition policies. While many wanted to see a school in the community during a consolidation, many focused on the elementary and commented that they wanted to see an elementary school remain in the community at least. There was a sentiment that more New Harmony students attend North Posey and that the communities were more alike culturally if consolidation were a reality. Several commented that junior high and high school students need to have more educational opportunities that consoli-
dation could provide. There was some concern as to whether other communities would accept and support New Harmony in a consolidation. Other participants focused on resources, suggesting that further cuts could be made to the school budget. Participants suggested combining administrative services in the county with one superintendent, and other administrative services combined, to serve the entire county. Additionally, a few participants suggested the school focus resources only on providing academics for students. Several participants suggested that the school needed to redesign itself with a focus, such as fine arts, international exchange, problem-based learning or historical perspective, in order to attract more students. Two individuals suggested the school pursue the state to become a lab school, but commented it would have to be unique to draw students here. Other suggestions for redesign included a technology school, alternative school, online or high ability school. Other Suggestions/Comments: Several participants, while understanding the economics of the situation, expressed regret of the impact of the final outcome. Several commented that the school is the lifeblood of the community and that a decision to close would impact the community through fewer businesses and families, reducing property value. Others wanted some kind of school, public, private or charter to remain in the community. Many individuals used the term “generations of students” while discussing their loyalty to the school. Several commented that when a school leaves, the town doesn’t thrive, using other small towns such as Griffin and Cynthiana as examples. There was also a sentiment that the community and parents aren’t aware of the critical financial situation of the school. On the other hand, nearly every group expressed that school closure had been a topic in the school and community regularly since the 1950s. Other individuals added that many thought the Owen family had provided for the school’s continuing existence regardless. Several expressed appreciation that the school board was accepting input from staff, parents and the community.

Vikings climb to top of conference with romp at Tell City VPL145657_Mount_Vernon_GO_Banner_em2.indd 1
By Dave Pearce The North Posey-Tell City football game was close on Friday night at Tell City…for about five minutes. It didn’t take long for the North Posey Vikings, down two running backs from injuries, to take over the game and rout the Marksmen by a count of 42-6. But for North Posey fans, there was almost as much attention being paid to a game just up the road. The Southridge Raiders were squaring off against the Heritage Hills Patriots in a game that could have locked the Vikings out of the Pocket Athletic Conference race. But word came in that the Patriots, who the Vikings defeated, had defeated the Raisers (where the Vikings lost) and the Vikings now hold their fate in their own hands. If they can win out against Tecumseh and Pike Central, they can do no worse than finish with a tie for the PAC title. After Wes Harness got the Vikings on the board on a 21-yard run in the first five minutes, the Marksmen appeared to have answered. They took the ensuing kick-off and apparently had run it back for a touchdown…that was until the man in the striped shirt pointed out that he had thrown a flag at midfield. A clip called the play back but the Marksmen continued their drive on a short field. Facing a fourth-and-4 on the Viking 37, the Marksmen ran a quick slant and picked up the first down to keep the drive alive. It appeared for a few moments that the game might be closer than it was supposed to have been. But when Alex Goebel stepped into the passing lane and intercepted the pass on second-and-11 from the Viking 21, the Vikings apparently had taken the wind out of the Tell City sails. Goebel returned the interception to the Tell City 45. After a couple of three-and-outs on both sides of the ball, the Vikings took over. They marched the ball down the gut of the Tell City defense and on second-and-7 from the 25, Harness again was the work-horse as he ran over and through the Marksmen defense, with some fine blocking from his line and even quarterback Colton Motz. He

On the next play, the Marksmen did a pretty good job of covering everyone once the ball was snapped so Motz scrambled in from five yards out ant the Vikings were in the drivers’ seat. The second quarter was even worse than the first for the Marksmen as Colton Martin scored on a 34-yard run less than a minute into the second quarter and the only thing left to be determined was the final score. With 7:07 on the second quarter clock and Harness on the sideline for attention to a tender ankle, the savvy Motz found a big target in Nick Neidig who ran the ball in for a score from the six. The half-time score was 28-0 on Tell City’s homecoming night.
“We didn’t play as consistently as I would like to see us play tonight,” North Posey Coach Carl “Joe” Gengelbach said following the game. “We played well when we had to play but we made some silly mistakes on offense and some on defense. I don’t know if it was the trip or what but it seems like when we are on the bus for a long time or the other team is having various activities (Tell City’s homecoming), we tend to lose focus.” Gengelbach’s statement was particularly noticeable in the second half as the Vikings had numerous opportunities but a banged-up Tell City squad was able to keep the Vikings off the third-quarter scoreboard. The Vikings would score two touchdowns in the final period, one on a Motz-to-Neidig 23-yard strike
and the other on a James Marshall run late in the game. Tell City scored their only points of the night when running back-turned-quarterback Reese Miller scored on a 37-yard run over mostly Viking reserve players. “It’s not that our kids are not playing hard but we have a couple of people out,” Gengelbach said. “Offensively we wanted to keep them spread out and we thought if we could run the ball against them, it would free up the pass a little bit.” One of the most sore spots for the Vikings was on turnovers, where the Vikings coughed up the ball three times and lost all three.

Mount Vernon learns just how good Mater Dei is this year By Steve Joos Mater Dei has a very good high school football team. And Mount Vernon found that out Friday at the Reitz Bowl. Quarterback Dane Maurer completed 14 of 16 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns as the state’s second-ranked Class 2A team rolled over Mount Vernon 47-20. The old adage goes that sometimes a team loses and sometimes they get beat. While coach Paul Maier didn’t use those words, he definitely knew his team ran into a good squad on Reitz Hill. “We’ve been playing them (Mater Dei) for a number of years and that’s as good as any title team (Mater Dei coach Mike Goebel) has had before,” Maier said. “I don’t want to jinx (Geobel), but I’ll be stunned if they don’t win the state title.” Mount Vernon averted a shutout with 20 points in the second half, mostly against Mater Dei’s reserve players. When the first string was in there? Not much went right for the Wildcats from Posey County. “Offensively, they were blitzing the heck out of us,” Maier said. “We were lucky to get the ball out of there. Craig (Mount Vernon signalcaller Craig Isaac) was just getting killed, our fullbacks did not pick up the blitz at all. We made a few plays here or there, but nothing consistently. Defensively,
we looked like a reserve team against their varsity. They were good.” The stat sheet backed up those observations, as Mater Dei racked up 523 yards in total offense, compared to 202 for Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon was able to make things respectable the second half, but that was about it as Mater Dei roared out to a 35-0 halftime bulge. The game was not even two minutes old when the Mater Dei bombardment began, after a punt was returned to the Mount Vernon 35-yard line. Five plays later, Isaac Tekoppel hauled in a 15-yard pass from Maurer for Mater Dei’s first score of the night. The conversion try failed after that touchdown, but less than 90 seconds later, Maurer struck again, this time he took it into the end zone himself with a 15-yard run. Then he connected with Tekoppel for the two-point conversion, making the score 14-0 with 6:35 to go in the opening chapter. Maurer closed out the first period by hitting Cody Hess with a 26-yard scoring pass with 2:30 left to make it 21-0 Mater Dei with Tekoppel’s kick. Covering Mater Dei’s receivers was one area where Mount Vernon’s defenders had trouble due to the Evansville school’s numerous receiving threats. By halftime, five Mater Dei receivers had hauled in touchdown passes. Eight different receivers had catches Friday and

four of them took it to the end zone. Dolton Brandenstein had four of them for 99 yards. He grabbed one from 20 yards out with 9:45 left in the second quarter to make the score 28-0, and Alex Springer hauled in from 19 yards out to give Mater Dei a 35-0 lead with 6:28 to go. That was the score at halftime, but Mount Vernon gave scoring a shot with a drive that stalled out on the Mater Dei seven-yard line with 34 seconds left in the second quarter. Mater Dei needed just over two minutes to get on
the scoreboard in the second half as Alex Schneider scored from two yards out with 9:51 to play. Schneider carried the ball five times for 128 yards on the evening. After Schneider’s score, both teams starting substituting (which was especially important for Mater Dei, which faces a crucial SIAC contest against Castle this week) and that gave the VanZants a chance to help Mount Vernon salvage something from the evening. Ethan VanZant took over under center and drove Mount Vernon to a touch-
down, while River VanZant became the team’s leading rusher with 50 yards and two more scores. Ethan VanZant finally put Mount Vernon on the scoreboard with 4:01 to go in the third quarter when he hit Tyler Ritzert from nine yards out, Nick Theodosis booted the extra point to make the score 41-7. Evan Martin closed out the scoring for Mater Dei with a one-yard plunge with 33 ticks left on the thirdquarter clock. Mount Vernon got a little more to cheer about in the
fourth quarter when a River (VanZant) ran through the Mater Dei second-string defense twice, first on a 27yard run with 7:51 to go and then on a five yard plunge with 4:40 to go. Despite the lopsided score, Maier thought that his team will have to find some positive aspects and build on them. “We have to build on this,” he said. “There’s only one place to go from here and that’s up.” For one thing, hopefully the rest of the schedule may not include an opponent this

Wildcats break drought with win over Reitz, the fall to Bulldogs By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team posted its first win of the season last week and then they appeared to get tired in the regular season finale. The Wildcats captured their first win of the season Wednesday, whitewashing Reitz 2-0, but then came up short as two clutch shots lifted visiting Harrisburg to a 2-0 victory in the regular season finale. Who is able to finish shots on goal and who isn’t best able was the main factor in each game last week, as the Cats finished their shots againt the Panthers, but not against the Bulldogs. The two teams spent most of the game marching up and down the field, but it only takes a few shots to make a difference and those two were taken by the Bulldogs in the last 18 minutes. “They got a couple of through balls and a couple of breakaways,” coach Travis Kaiser said. “They put passes together, just like we did, they had times when they were down there a bit, but as far as a build up in scoring, there was nothing like that. We just collapsed towards the end of the game.” The collapse was puzzling to Kaiser, considering the weather (Saturday was a pleasant, sunny day that was good for playing soccer) and wondered if Harrisburg stepped up their intensity while Mount Vernon was able to control the ball and were content at that. “We got all kinds of opportunities to score,” the coach said. “We just need better Mount Vernon junior Alex Austin dribbles the ball downfield ahead of his Harris- shots. A lot of times, we’re just letting the ball burg opponent during Saturday’s final home game of the season. Photo by Terri Koch run to us. We’ve got to run to the ball.”
At times the Wildcats looked good Saturday, but there were times when their spacing is an issue, Kaiser said, adding that the team has to create more space for its players when Mount Vernon has the ball. The loss seemed to follow a pattern that has snakebitten the Wildcats all season. The Bulldogs only had three shots on goal, while the Cats had seven, but Harrisburg made theirs. The first one came with 17:45 to play in the contest when Jacob Stewart took a pass from Riley Jordan and broke away for the first scored of the game. Rahal Patal added the second tally with five minutes to go off a pass from Dylan Butler. The Cats broke through for their first win of the season Wednesday, blanking Reitz 2-0. Michael Cannato and Tersten Maier scored Mount Vernon’s goals, while Matthew Strupp turned in an assist. “We moved the ball well at times,” Kaiser said. “Again, our spacing is an issue still, again we moved the ball around. We had shots on goal and we scored. Reitz had the same shots and didn’t make them. We played well.” Cannato got the ball back from the defense and put it on the left side for 30 yards, then going one-on-one with the Reitz goalkeeper for his goal, which put Mount Vernon up 1-0 in the first half. Maier’s shot was in the second half nailing it from 23 yards out after reversing the ball inside and out, with Strupp getting it to Maier for the finish.
Lady Wildcats finish the season at 8-7, enter tourney play By Steve Joos Take away the middle of the season and the Mount Vernon girls’ soccer team had a great year. They had fairly good one, but that stretch against some of the area’s most formidable programs hit the Lady Wildcats hard and forced them to take a less-than-stellar record into Sectional play at Evansville Monday night. But things ended well for the Lady Cats. Katie Cox booted in three goals and added three assists Saturday morning as the Lady Wildcats battered visiting South Spencer 9-0 in the regular season finale for the two teams. The win gave Mount Vernon a split for the week, as they lost to Boonville in double overtime Thursday 1-0 after the team made its claim to the Knox County championship recently with wins over South Knox and Vincennes. ‘’They really stepped up today,” coach Liz Castle said. “Our goal was not only to come out and get a win, but also to get a win for our seniors. Our seniors have worked hard for all four years. This also gives us momentum going into the Sectionals Monday against Memorial.” The Lady Cats did what they did often early in the season to get an edge on a Lady Rebels team which only 10 players, each of whom were on the field for the complete 80 minutes. They scored early and often, taking a 4-0 halftime lead and then adding two quick goals in the first minute and 21 seconds of the Mount Vernon senior Megan Randall plays in her final home game as a Wildcat dur- second half. ing Saturday’s senior day for both girls and boys.

“I would say everybody played well,” she said. “Even the subs that came in. We had goals that were spread around, we had multiple goals from multiple girls. We had a great effort on the whole today.” In addition to the contributions from Cox, plenty of players backed up the franchise against the Lady Rebels. Megan Randall, one of the four seniors honored at their last home game, scored two goals and had the only other assist. Zoe Brown also scored two goals, while Jenna Reidford and Kenzie Johns added the other two. The Lady Cats dropped a 1-0 decision in overtime to visiting Boonville Thursday. Bayli Erwin had the only goal of the game for the Lady Pioneers. The Lady Wildcats were hoping for redemption after dropping an overtime decision last year on a kick with 13 seconds left in the second extra period. That made the loss, which was in a game for third place in the Big Eight Conference, most heartbreaking. “The girls worked hard and really stepped up,” the coach said. “They put a lot of heart and pride into that game. They really worked hard together and that’s what we’re most pleased with.” Castle considered the game one of the team’s best, but they came up short on a shot with three minutes left in overtime. The Lady Cats had numerous opportunities to score, including a few after Erwin’s goal, but couldn’t capitalize on them, the coach added. The Lady Cats took an 8-7 record into the Sectional. Castle was pleased with how the season progressed, even though the record wasn’t as good as they had expected.

assists. When Alex Goebel wasn’t talking, he was assisting as he finished with a pair of solos but nine assists, a deflected pass, and that big interception. Cody Voelker, Harness, Tyler Adkins, and Chris O’Risky were each credited with three solo tackles and Adkins had a tackle for a 4-yard loss. Others getting at least one solo tackle were Jamon Tapp, Bryce Koester, Austin Little, Jacob Bender, Casey Voelker, Darren O’Risky, , James Marshall, Bailey Porter, Aaron Droste, Dallas Glover, Lary Kolby, and Aaron Hensley. The Vikings will take a 5-1 record into this week’s home game against the Tecumseh Braves. Gametime will be at 7 p.m. with tailgating serving chili beginning at 5:30.

North Posey’s Maggie Lady Rappite team goes down swinging Camp succumbs to weather, wind at State Special to the News North Posey High School golf coach Kevin Wassmer has done a lot of things in his golf career. But this past week, he got to do something he has never done before… coach a student at the Indiana State Golf Tournament. Wassmer still had a positive outlook after Maggie Camp did not have her best game at the tournament. It was a tough way to end the season, but an honor to be there. North Posey High School golfer Maggie Camp’s season came to an end Friday when she shot a 91 and finished in a tie for 72nd place in the Indiana High School Athletic Association State girls’ golf meet at The Legends Course in Franklin. In order to advance, a golfer must either be part of the top 12 teams, or be one of the top nine individuals from a non-qualifying team. The cutoff for the top individuals was 78. A junior, Camp was the first member of the Lady Vi-
kings to reach the state meet in the history of the program, which is only in its fourth year. Wassmer said she had her game and was playing awesome during the Thursday practice round. It all fell apart Friday morning in the 50-degree temperatures combined with a blustery wind and rainy weather. Camp’s round at the state tournament was her worst round of the competitive season. It was unfortunate that it had to come at the state tournament but Camp said she considered it an honor to play in the Indiana State finals in only her junior season. According to Wassmer, Camp was mentally and physically prepared for the finals and ready to compete but with the weather conditions, her game just didn’t come around. College golf coaches were there from Indiana University, Purdue, Iowa, Michigan State, as well as several other achools.

By Steve Joos The New Harmony Lady Rappites went down fighting twice this week. On Tuesday, the Lady Rappites dropped a 25-21, 26-24, 25-16 decision at Wood Memorial, capping a short week where the Lady Rappites put up a pair of strong efforts despite losing both matches. It was another rough week for the New Harmony volleyball team, but no one can say they didn’t try. New Harmony started the week by pushing Gallatin County to five sets before falling 25-19, 19-25, 25-17, 21-25, 15-13. “They liked to keep me on my toes tonight,” assistant coach Ashley Robinson said. “It was really hard for them when they got going to keep up that intensity. It’s hard to play five games with a team that can play.” Robinson said the Lady Rappites fought hard and played hard, trying to keep any balls from hitting the floor, which something Robinson told them she didn’t want to see happen. “They played their hearts out,” the coach said. “I know they lost, but they took it to five and every single one of them had their hearts in this game.” The contest was quite evenly matched, with both

In the fifth set, New Harmony battled back to take a 13-12
lead before Gallatin County scored on a rally point and then served out. “Gallatin County came out and wanted it,” Robinson said. “They came out and took it. Our girls want-
ed it, but they just couldn’t get that extra push tonight.” A big, left-handed hitter on the Lady Hawks proved to be the difference down the stretch, Robinson added.

Vikings celebrate ‘fun’ season with senior night By Steve Joos Wins—and for that matter, goals—have been pretty hard to come by for the North Posey girls’ soccer team so far this season. They got some of both Wednesday night. Samantha Wittgen scored her first goal of the season as the Lady Vikings broke loose for three goals in the second half and came away with their first win of the campaign, 3-0 over visiting Day School. The game started early, but was still called with 30 seconds left on the clock when lightning forced both teams off the field. “We played with our feet tonight,” coach Scott Buttrum said. “We tried to practice that all season and to-
night, we were able to do it.” Playing with their feet started to pay off for the Lady Vikings in the second half, when Wittgen connected with seven minutes gone in the second half off a pass from Lauren Meredith for the Lady Vikings’ first goal of the night. Brianna Perry and Savannah King each added goals before everyone was forced off the field. The team has been making progress against some tough competition, Buttrum said. “We’re just still learning,” he said. “We’re still trying to figure out what works best for our team at the moment.” Buttrum has been experimenting with his lineup, mainly to find a place for the five freshmen on this year’s
roster. The team has also struggled offensively. Prior to Wednesday night, North Posey had been shut out five times, including a 6-0 loss at Harrison on Tuesday, as well as a 5-0 loss at Forest Park recently. “We have a lot of trouble transitioning from defense to offense,” Buttrum said. “That’s something we’re going to focus on for the rest of the season.” Kelsey Cobbs scored three goals as Harrison smacked the Lady Vikings 6-0 early last week in Evansville. Maddie Ethridge and Hayley Bretz each scored a goal and each had a pair of assists. The Lady Vikings are now 2-9-1 on the season, with a
tie against South Knox 2-2. King and Kendra Schmitt scored the North Posey goals against the Lady Spartans. The Lady Vikings struggled in transition against Harrison, Buttrum said, adding that most of the game was played on North Posey’s side of the field. The team’s inexperience this season hasn’t helped. “We’ve played a lot of teams that have actual varsity squads and reserve,” Buttrum said. “We are all one unit. I think we’re building. We’ve had a couple of players who have been injured who are starting to come back, so we’ll do better.” And a win always helps.
Sectional opener. “We went out there and did exactly what we wanted to do,” Oelmer said. “Which was get out there, take charge early, play with confidence and get this match under our belts.” Second doubles was the first spot off the court, as Wilson and Crabtree posted a 6-1, 6-0 win over Josh Slusher and Jacob Plough. Second ingles was next, with Canada registering a 6-0, 6-1 win over Tyler Miller, then Sheffer nailed down the win over the Wildcats by beating Owen Newman 6-1, 6-3. Hopper and Reeves struggled with Jacob Ahlbrand and Phillip Fescina, dropping their first doubles contest 6-3, 6-1, and then Redman was the last one off the court, dispatching Jack Kiely 6-3, 6-1. “They (Ahlbrand and Fescina) just hit the ball really hard and we didn’t have the baseline consistency to beat them,” Oelmer said of the first doubles match. “We had a few shots, but we missed a few key points when we needed them. We can’t hope that the point is over with a good shot. We had some shots, but it was more our mistakes than anything Central did.” The Bears had moved two of their better boys players to first doubles and the Cats hadn’t had that much of a chance to see them earlier, Oelmer said, adding that Redman was out of his rhythm at first, which caused him to struggle. Kiely also played a much more aggressive and consistent match than his first meeting with Redman, the coach added. Reitz reached the championship meet by beating North Posey 4-1 in Thursday’s semifinals. “We’re short a man, but we played well,” coach Charlie Grimes said. “Our two singles won, he’s played a lot better. Our first doubles lost a three-setter.” The Vikings were decimated by graduations this season, and then their third singles player suffered a broken arm, which left the Vikings with just six players and forced them to default at number three singles. Second singles was the bright spot for the day for North Posey, as Reid Gertesen registered a decision over Bevin. The Sectional started a day earlier because of an IHSAA mandate, according to Mount Vernon athletic director Gary Redman. In the past, schools had the option of starting Sectional play on Wednesday or Thursday and Mount Vernon started play on a Thursday. This season, the state has mandated that all Sectional action get underway on Wednesday. In another format change, the Cats traveled to Evansville Tuesday for Regional action after years where the Mount Vernon Sectional winner advanced to Vincennes for the next postseason level.

Wildcats take quick break to regain passion, beat Titans and Mt. Carmel By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon volleyball team won three more matches last week and really played well in two of them. Coach Andi Allford was concerned about her team’s motivation even though they smacked Gibson Southern in three sets Tuesday night in Fort Branch, so she gave them the day off Wednesday. That seemed to work, as the Lady Cats captured a pair of Big Eight Conference decisions, beating Mount Carmel in three sets Thursday at home and then posting a 25-18, 25-10, 25-11 decision at Washington on Saturday. Meagan Martin continued her solid play with 28 assists and five service aces, while Jacey Ritzert continued to be a formidable hitter by nailing 12 kills against the Lady Hatchets. Lauren Stemple came up with eight digs. The reserves shook off a slump and won their first match of week at Washington 2523, 25-10. The Lady Cats were tired, unmotivated— and they took a three-set victory at Gibson Southern Tuesday night. “It felt hairy to me the whole time,” Allford said after the Lady Cats topped the Lady Titans 25-16, 25-14, 25-19. “They’re in midseason and you can definitely tell from the way they’re playing right now. It’s harder to get them motivated. I think they needed a break to bring that fire back.” Lack of motivation and fatigue were factors, the coach said, adding that those things were no excuse for their performance. But they still came away with a win. “That’s the benefit of having a little bit Members of the Mount Vernon volleyball team go up for a clean block during action of experience on your team,” Allford said. this week. The Wildcats finished off the week with two wins. Photo by Terri Koch “They work hard, they still work hard, it’s
just an internal thing, and they have to get excited.” That experience came in handy when the Lady Titans went on a four-point run, which tied the game at 10-10 and later in the contest, when Gibson Southern pulled to within a point at 18-17. Four points off Martin’s serves all but put away the third set and the match. “We want (to win a) Sectional,” Allford said. “We need to improve each game and we need to get better each game and right now, we’re not taking that away from these games.” Martin continued her strong play with 36 assists, while Ritzert turned in 14 kills and Wallis served seven aces. Stemple registered 11 digs. Gibson Southern won the reserve match 25-24, 25-21. Thursday’s match was much more like it, as the Lady Cats rested on Wednesday and then came our and rolled visiting Mount Carmel 25-14, 25-7, 25-8. “I gave them the day off practice so that they would have a little more spark and a little more fire coming in to play and it worked,” Allford said. “They played solid. It wasn’t too exciting of a game, but they took care of their touches and I think they looked good tonight.” Allford was pleased with the overall effort, even thought they had to pick up on their serves after missing a number of them in the first set. Defensively, the ball was getting into the setter’s hands and that set up the hitters. Ritzert had 14 kills, while Martin registered 25 assists and Stemple turned in nine digs. Brittany Wallis served five aces. The Lady Aces took the reserve match 2513, 25-17, 25-11.
Vikings get win over Mount Vernon before closing season at home
By Steve Joos A questionable call, a 5050 ball which could have been a shot and a penalty kick. All of those factors combined to keep the North Posey boys soccer team reeling last week. Daniel Garceevsi scored on a penalty kick with 3:19 to go in the second half for the game-winner as Tell City edged North Posey 2-1 in the Vikings’ regular season home-field finale. Vikings’ coach Andy Hines was forced to go to the bench in the second half and they picked it up, according to the coach. “Our bench came in and stepped it up,” Hines said. “We had some knicks and knacks that hurt us, but I think our bench players stepped it up over the starters.” Hines went on to say that the starters were playing too much for themselves and that forced him to go to the bench after the Vikings fell behind 1-0 at halftime on an unassisted goal by Ryan Hackbarth. The score stood until the 64th minute, when Kyle Swope popped one over to George Wittgen, who headed it in for the game-tying goal with 23:43 left in the second half. Tell City broke the tie on a shot which was set up on a 50-50 ball which went in the wrong direction and earned the Vikings a penalty. “We know what to do, but we just don’t apply it in games,” Hines said. “We’ve just to got to work on defending a little better and defending as a team. Once we do that, maybe it will click. Hopefully it does.” The Vikings recently dropped a 5-1 decision at Heritage Hills in a game
where spotty play once again did the team in, this time from the bench. “We’re a team that plays 20 minutes, falls apart in 20 minutes and plays 20 minutes,” Hines explained. “We came out in the second half, being down 3-1 and looked good. Jace Gentil got hurt and once he came off the field, everything fell apart.” Swope scored the team’s lone goal of the game. The boys’ soccer game in Mount Vernon Tuesday was competitive—for the 60 minutes. The Wildcats and visiting North Posey Vikings were tied until the last 20 minutes of the game and then the Vikings really erupted a few minutes later, breaking away for a 4-2 victory. “I thought we fought hard through a lot of controversial calls, a lot of controversial fouls,” North Posey coach Andy Hines said. “There were a lot of head butts, hard trips and I thought we played through a lot of that stuff. I thought we played pretty good the first 20 minutes of the game and then we fell off and I think we got a little frustrated and then we picked it up the right way this time.” One way the Vikings picked it up was getting the ball to Kyle Swope. Swope’s goals this week helped the senior establish a new school record for goals in a season at 17. And the season isn’t over. The senior midfielder knocked in three goals on the night, including the game-tying score not once, but twice. His first goal knotted things up at 1-1 right before the end of the first half and the second came a little more than three minutes after David Elliott put the Cats in front

Photo by Dave Pearce 2-1 with 20:17 left in the second half. Swope wasn’t one of those forwards who have making Mount Vernon’s season miserable, but he was there when the forwards got him the ball. The senior did play up front and the inability to mark him was one problem for Mount Vernon. He was also the strongest and quickest player on the field, which was enough to have Cats’ coach Travis Kaiser worried. “What they did well is they hit one of their forwards well and he’d just pop it over the top to (Swope),” Kaiser said. “He was so fast and so quick that he was getting in behind and we weren’t making the adjustments, it’s hard to do that at that fast speed.”

Kaiser said that the Vikings did what was necessary to win the game and snuck past the Wildcats a few times. Jace Gentil gave North Posey a 3-2 lead on a pass from Cole Simpson with 3:24 to go in the second half, before Swope put an exclamation mark on the win by converting a pass from Tyler Stock with 5:14 left in the contest. After three road games against stronger Evansville schools, Tuesday’s contest was a game the Vikings expected to win, Hines explained, adding that the way North Posey won (by having to come back twice) was good for the team. “It’s hard to play here at Mount Vernon,” the coach explained. “It’s smaller than our field and it’s just hard
and bumpy. It’s a tough place to play.” Swope (who scored the team’s lone goal in a recent 2-1 loss to Central) got the Vikings off and running on a breakaway in the first half and then score off a pass from Gentil to tie the game again. “I think he (Swope) made some really good runs tonight,” Hines said. “He got into a position where he was able to go one-on-one and he finishes those.” The Cats were marking Swope earlier since he was bigger and stronger, but Kaiser didn’t realize how much of a threat the Viking senior was. The Wildcats’ coach felt that his team was starting to come together and play better, despite the loss. “We’re starting to move
the ball better,” Kaiser said. “We’re to attack and get the balls outside. We’re starting to take the ball deep and get more opportunities. That’s good, but we have to keep going forward.” Michael Cannato scored Mount Vernon’s first goal of the game with about 12 minutes gone in the game. That was before Swope broke away. It took more than just one player to shoot down the Cats Saturday, as they were shut out at Vincennes 4-0. It wasn’t a one-man army, it was more like a two-man army. Eric Ramirez and Cameron Claycomb each booted in two goals to lead the Alices past Mount Vernon. Claycomb assisted on one goal, while Kyle Richardville helped out on two.

Lady Alices spoil senior night for North Posey Lady Vikes By Steve Joos Two forwards, three breakaways. That, in a nutshell, is what beat the North Posey girls’ soccer team in last week’s home-field finale, a 3-0 loss at the hand of the visiting Vincennes Lady Alices. “We played better in the second half than the first half,” Lady Vikings’ coach Scott Butrum said. “They had two forwards who scored all their goals on breakaways.” Madison Browner did most of the damage, scoring two goals and adding an assist for the Lady Alices. She took a feed from Jordan Sanders and put it in eight minutes into
the contest, fed the ball to Anna Duncan 10 minutes later to make the score 2-0 and then closed things out for Vincennes with a breakaway off a feed from Duncan with eight minutes left in the game. The Lady Vikings lost a previous contest at Heritage Hills 5-0. They played better in the early going Buttrum said, holding the Lady Patriots scoreless for the first 30 minutes before the defense broke down. The Lady Vikings will host the sectional this week and will face state-ranked Mater Dei in the opening round.

By Steve Joos “We ran well, we gave it all we had, but Jasper was just the better team that day.” That was how Mount Vernon girls’ cross country coach Jackie Maier summed up her team’s performance at the Big Eight Conference meet Saturday, but it could have summed up the day for both the girls and boys at the Evansville State Hospital grounds. Both Mount Vernon boys’ and girls’ squads were second in the conference meet to that team from Dubois County. The boys were second by a 64-73 margin, while the girls were further behind, score 51 points to 51 for Jasper. Two boys and one of the girls earned all-conference honors by finishing in the top 10. Sean Ritzert came in fifth in the boys’ meet with a time of 17:23, while Ryan Dick was tenth in 17:58. Toni Waddell, the freshman who’s developed into a threat for the Lady Cats, took fifth in 20:48. Dane Wilson was 13th for the boys in 18:04, while Collin Knight (18:14) was 18th, Mitchell Jackson (18:44) 25th, Adam Hoehn (19:18) 28th and Andrew Stevens (21:17) 35th. Three Mount Vernon boys ran in the reserve race, with D.J. Dickens (20:44) finishing 11th. Brandon Roy (21:50) was 18th and Darren Roy (23:50) 24th. Brianna Reis came in 12th in the girls’ race, posting a time of 22:23, while Chelsea Bell (22:40) was 14th and McKenzie McClarney (22:42) 15th. Rachel Cash rounded out the Mount Vernon contingent by placing 24th. Four Mount Vernon girls ran in the reserve race, led by Tiffany Collins and Gwen Baldwin, who finished 3-4 in the race. Callie Schisler was eighth and Heather Zwikelberg was tenth. The girls nosed out Mount Carmel 51-54 for second place, while the rest of the field was a little further behind. Princeton (88) was fourth, while Vincennes rounded out the team standings in fifth place with 117. Boonville and Washington did not have enough runners for a team score. The Cats from booth Jasper and Mount Vernon were well ahead of the rest of the boys’ pack. Princeton was a distant third with 86 points, followed by Mount Carmel (92), Washington (93) and Vincennes (154). Boonville did not have enough boys for a team score.

Arena Bourne named to All-Big Eight golf team Mount Vernon’s Kendyl Bourne has been named to the All-Big Eight Conference girls’ golf team. The Lady Wildcats’ senior Regional qualifier shot a 74 at the recent conference meet to earn the honor. She was one of the top seven golfers in the Big Eight. “I’m happy,” Bourne said. “I’m a little disappointed with the way I shot (at the conference meet), but I was able to make the All-Conference team.” Lady Wildcats coach Dave Bell felt the honor was well-deserved, adding that Bourne shot a great round at Thunderbolt Pass and that many of her teammates shot personal best rounds for nine and 18 holes at the meet. The Lady Cats were fifth in the meet with a score of 351, well ahead of sixth-place Boonville (372) and one stroke in back of fourth-place Vincennes (350), which had the conference medalist, Alex Kotter (71). Bourne and Kotter were two of the three All-Biog Eight golfers who weren’t from Jasper, joining Mikala Barger of Washington (76), which did not have enough for a team score. Representing the conference champs were Kendall Chanley and McKenzie Hillsmeyer (each of whom shots 73s), Annie Gertzin (74) and Allison Neuhoff (76).

Inability to say ‘no’ keeps Poseyville couple hopping
Matt and Kristy Downey apparently don’t know the meaning of the word, “no.” The Poseyville, Ind., parents of three are involved in many community activities but were nominated for this week’s good neighbor award because of their involvement in the Poseyville Autumnfest. The Downeys are actively involved in the Poseyville Kiwanis Club where Matt serves currently as president. Even though the first go-round of Autumnfest was rained out last weekend, the Downeys were busy this past Sunday pulling together the final entries for this year’s Autumnfest Parade. “We literally started planning for this year’s Autumnfest just as soon as last year’s was finished,” Kristy said with a smile on her face as the parade stepped off right on time Sunday afternoon. A great crown and great weather helped make up for last week’s event

which was all but rained out. While Matt works long hours, he finds time to be an active member of the local Kiwanis Club which, with only nine current members, find the time, energy, and resources to put together an Autumnfest for the people of Poseyville every year. “We started planning for it last year and then we found those fire performers kind of at the last minute and got them booked for this year,” Matt said of last week’s feature attraction. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate but the show did go on. Kristy does much of her work behind the scenes, taking parade applications. In the past, she has been involved with the Brownies as a leader and the Poseyville Town-Wide Yard Sale. “Before I had the twins seven years ago, I worked at ECHO Health Care,” Kristy said. “Now I am a stay-at-home mom and I work harder than I have ever worked in my life.”
Kristy is a fixture at North Elementary School where she seems to be high on the call list each time someone is needed to volunteer at the school. Their oldest daughter is Katlyn, who is 11 while the twin boys Jacob and Kyle, are seven. “When the twins were born, it just didn’t make sense for me to go back to work and have to pay day care for them,” Kristy said. With the rain delay, the Kiwanis Club was short three or four members when this week’s parade rolled around and Matt himself took time to help at the parade, even though he was scheduled to work a 12hour shift following the parade. “I must be the ‘go to’ person of Poseyville because everyone always calls me when they need help with something,” the smiling and good-natured Kristy said. Matt is the son of Jeff and Vicky Downey and was raised on Springfield Road not far
