Posey Humane Society latest to be hit by theft By Dave Pearce The Posey County Humane Society appears to have been the latest victim of theft from an “inside” source. According to information provided over the weekend by Posey County Humane Society Acting Director Sarah Appel and Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers, an arrest warrant has been issued for former Posey County Humane Society worker Ryan Nader. The warrant was issued after it was discovered that several items were missing from the Leonard Road site. The warrant calls for Nader’s arrest on three felony counts. Nader was the only full-time shelter worker for about two years. “For 20 months of that time, he did exceptional work,” Appel explained. “But just after the first of this year, there was a drastic change in behavior. We’d address the issue with him and work performance would im-

prove for a short time. Then he’d backslide. His position with us was in jeopardy already.” But Appel said the final straw came when a surveillance camera at her optometrist office caught Nader in the act of stealing money from the office. He was fired from the Posey Humane Society on the same day. “After his release, we began finding issues and items missing from the shelter. We did not go to the press immediately because we had filed charges with the prosecutor and there was an investigation underway,” Appel explained. “However, this weekend when we took our food booth down to River Days and started to set up, we discovered our booth had been sabotaged (at least that’s the way it feels to me) and the power cable (somewhere between 40 and 50 feet of copper wire) had been disconnected at the box and removed. We have evidence that he (Nader) recycled copper at Fligeltaub and it is assumed at this

point that it was from the booth.” According to information on the Posey County Humane Society Webpage, with the expansion to the Leonard Road facility, the organization had planned to continue to expand the facilities with the goal to accept dogs. A limited number of dogs are currently accepted at the Mount Vernon facility. “We were working toward an expansion as we had received an extremely generous donation of kennels (from an anonymous source) that would have made the living situation for dogs a much more humane, healthy environment while waiting for adoption,” she explained. “Unfortunately, those kennels were too large for the current facility, but worthy of considering an expanded area.” The highgrade stainless steel was being stored in a large trailer located at the Leonard Road site. Appel said plans have been underway for several months for an expansion to the facil-

ity and that design work and concrete/gravel work designs was about to get underway. Then Appel said recently she and another board member had gone out to the facility to get some other items out of the trailer only to discover that all the high-grade stainless steel was missing. Appel said the stainless steel had been in storage for over six years and that there is photographed evidence that Nader had “recycled” all of the panels at the Fligeltaub site in Evansville. After doing some checking, Appel discovered that to replace the stainless steel that was missing with similar kenneling, the cost would be over $32,000. “The prosecutor has obtained photo documentation to support the accusations that Nader took all 38 panels to Fligeltaub and

Mount Vernon Barge holds ‘Christening of Three’ ‘Judge Lynch’ By Dave Pearce On Thursday afternoon, over 200 were on hand at the Southwind Maritime Center in Mount Vernon to celebrate the christening of three new boats now in service at Mount Vernon Barge, better known as TPG Mt. Vernon Marine, LLC (dba: Mt. Vernon Barge Service). The MV Marla Diane, MV Sidney Rene, and MV Brandi Ann and their namesakes were on hand as Mount Vernon Barge president Don Miller welcomed the many guests as well as the Mount Vernon High School band under the direction of Scott Dallas. “This is a great day for this little company,” Miller said while opening the ceremonies. “This is the first time we have had a boat christening because I was in the eighth grade the last time we bought a boat.” But the company has done well, especially over the course of the past four years when the number of employees has increased from 35 to around 110. This is the company’s 49th year and the fifth under the ownership of TPG. Miller complimented several businesses located at the port for their loyalty. Some of those included Alliance Coal and Consolidated Grain and Barge, to name just a couple. “We have a great group of customers here and we are very proud of the relationship we have fostered with them,” Miller said. “I also want to thank our management team, quite possibly the greatest one in the Maritime Industry.” Miller also recognized Indiana Port Commission member Bud Farmer as well as Southwind Maritime Port Director Phil Wilzbacher. Miller also recognized members of his family as well as other members of the Mount Vernon staff. “Mount Vernon Barge has provided some very vital logistical services, which included barge movement and barge fleeting,” Wilzbacher said while congratulating the company. “It has helped make Mount Vernon what it is today. It is interesting to note that because of the type of services Mount Vernon Barge provided and hustled to get, today Mount Vernon is ranked the eighth largest port on the U.S. inland waterway. This is a very large river transportation facility here at the port as well as the other industries in the Mount Vernon area that Mount Vernon Barge is providing services to. It is great to see that Mount Vernon Barge is continuing to grow and expand.” Wilzbacher also pointed out that Mt. Vernon Barge’s growth has come at a time of economic downturn in many other businesses. “In spite of the brutal business environment, the people at Mount Vernon Barge have worked very hard in driving the company forward,” Wilzbacher continued. “This type of growth is indicative of businesses here in the Mount Vernon area. Companies are finding ways to grow despite of tough economic conditions.” Wilzbacher accented his remarks by telling those in attendance the

Annual Ag breakfast set for tomorrow The Posey County, Purdue Extension Service will host a program titled “Agricultural Outlook 2012” on Wednesday, September 14 at the Posey County Fairgrounds Community Center. The program will begin with breakfast at 6:30 a.m. CT, followed by the program. This event is free to the public and is designed to help farmers, land owners, input suppliers, and those interested in agriculture make better business decisions in the coming year. The program will be presented by Dr. Chris Hurt, an Agricultural Economist from the Purdue campus. U.S. farmers are facing disappointing corn and soybean yields this fall as late planting was followed by extreme July heat and dryness. Demand remains strong for grains, soybeans, and food around the world with limited supplies. This means prices will be high. The program will help answer “How high?” The volume of corn used for ethanol is expected to set new records in 2012; however, some believe there won’t be enough corn this fall to meet all the demands and that EPA should consider reducing government ethanol mandates. In addition, China continues to excite the corn market with purchases for a second year with prospects for longer-term buying relationships with the U.S. Increasing attention is being given to the general economy with growing fears of a double-dip recession.

This program will outline the reasons why the economy is growing slowly and make predictions for future growth, interest rates, and inflation. A short discussion of the Federal government debt situation will also be featured. The livestock sector faces another year of extremely high feed costs. Yet some animal product prices have also risen sharply over the past year. Some of the animal species can afford these record feed prices, others may face losses in 2012. Regardless, consumers are experiencing the highest costs ever to feed their families. Crop prices are up, but so are input costs for 2012. This program will outline which inputs are headed higher and how that may affect margins for 2012 and 2013. The battle for acres is underway this fall as producers consider seeding winter wheat. The program will demonstrate the economic implications of that battle by showing which crops are currently bidding most aggressively for the limited acres. Land values and rents are expected to move higher again in 2012, but by how much and how high can land values and rents rise before they are too high? What are the driving factors to be watching? These and other topics will be covered. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, prior to the meeting, contact Jon Neufelder at: (812) 838-1331.

By Pam Robinson Cecil B. DeMille would be proud. The Honorable James M. Redwine, Posey County Circuit Court Judge, and his wife Peg have brought together, if not a cast of thousands, a cast of dozens of well-known Posey Countians for the production of the 20-minute movie “JUDGE LYNCH!.” Based on Judge Redwine’s historical novel bearing the same name, “JUDGE LYNCH!” will be shown free to the public this coming Saturday and Sunday during Kunstfest at Harmonie Haus Cinema in New Harmony. Movie show times are Saturday, September 17, at 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. as well as Sunday, September 18, at 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. The movie (and novel) presents a shameful chapter in Posey County history. It chronicles the heinous October 1878 murders of seven African American men—four of them lynched on the court house lawn—causing the exodus of African Americans from Posey County in October and November 1878. Already, the movie has met with great interest and success in Judge Redwine’s hometown of Pawhuska, Okla., where his novel continues to sell well. In fact, the movie’s debut came about at the Annual Ben Johnson Film Festival this past June in response to the request of festival organizers. “JUDGE LYNCH!” is a first for JPeg Ranch Productions. None of the participants had ever made a movie. Still the Redwines marvel that everyone involved with the production, completed in April and May this year, worked only for food catered by Shawnna and Heath Rigsby. Relying on his prior experience filming sports events, Rodney Fetcher did all the camera work and editing on location in Posey County. Scenes were filmed at the Greathouse Farm, JPeg Ranch, Hovey House, Old Pioneer Village in Solitude, old Posey County Jail, Posey County Courthouse and Robin Hill. One of the Redwines’ seven grandchildren, college sophomore Alec Ricketts, did all the still photography. In addition, one of the Judge’s brothers, C.E. Redwine, drew on his expertise as a university music professor to compose the original soundtrack performed by three Oklahoma musicians—Steve Burroughs, Ginger Randolph and Denny Wade. Readers will surely recognize at least one member of the star-studded cast of Posey County (and a few Vanderburgh County) citizens: Elaine Bebout, Billy Joe Bebout, David Belcher, Tammy Bergstrom, Sam Blankenship, Shirley Blankenship, Carrie Bradley, Pat Cardin, Bill Etherton, Judy Etherton, Darlene Fisher, Jim Fisher, Dan

Mount Vernon Barge, from Page 1A volume at the local port is up 15 percent over last year. “This is because of critical services Mt. Vernon Barge is providing in the movement of barges,” Wilzbacher continued. “It is very encouraging to see Mt. Vernon Barge making investments in new assets and expanding its boat fleet. These boats will be put into service handling the products shipped by the companies in the Mount Vernon area by barge.” Wilzbacher said that much of what occurs at the port and at Mount Vernon Barge is done out of the public’s eye but that does not diminish the value of what the port and companies such as Mount Vernon Barge bring to Posey County. As those in attendance made their way down to the docks for the christening, the Mount Vernon High School band played, “Eternal Father, Strong to Save.” Miller explained that the boats were named in honor of three of his favorite people. The Marla Diane is named after Indianapolis office manager Marla Abraham. During the christening ceremonies, she symbolically turned over the flag and control of the boat to Pilot Lee Nelson, General Manager of the Green River Barge Service. “She is our moral compass and has been with us through thick and thin,” Miller said of Abraham. “This tug boat is going to do some hard work for us and Marla has always been there when we have needed her. I hope this boat is always going to be there when we need it, as well.” The Sydney Renee was named after Miller’s 6-year-old daughter who provided those in attendance with glimpses of her “kindergarten class leader” skills from last year. The Sydney Renee is the company’s high-speed response and repair boat. The last of the boats is named after Miller’s daughter Brandi Ann. The boat is a full-sized harbor boat. The 1200-horsepower boat will work primarily out of the Riverview location in Uniontown. “Brandi is a recent graduate of the University of Oregon,” Miller said. “She is an international traveler and is a source of great pride for me.”

THANK YOU The Family of Monica Beuligmann would like to thank our family and friends for their support during Monica’s illness and death.

Following a prayer of blessing by the Rev. Edward Robinson, who also did the drawing “The Christening of Three,” those who wished walked out to the docks for the official ceremony. One hundred of the limited edition Robinson prints were distributed. Mount Vernon Barge service has provided harbor service to terminals near Ohio River mile marker 828 and the Port of Indiana - Mt.

Our girls attacked well and served well. We got off on a rocky start, but once we settled down, we were able to take control of the contest.” “The girls fought hard,” Mount Vernon coach Edwards said. “They stayed together and gave us a good effort. North Posey has a good deffensive team. We missed some key serves. We hit stronger, but we still need to become more consistant.” The reserve Lady Vikings rolled over teh Lady WildWith the Posey County Courthouse as a backdrop, rural Mount Vernon resident cats in the preliminary, 15-5, Charles Blackburn drives his rare Massey Harris tractor through the River Days Pa- 15-10. rade on Saturday.

Legal issues for seniors topic of not-for-profit meeting Memories by Lowell Tison

The non-profit National Private Duty Association (NPDA), along with VNA Plus Home Care & Hospice, has announced that it will host a consumer education web conference entitled Addressing Legal Issues that Impact Seniors on Sept. 22, 2011, at 7 p.m. The live and interactive program will provide advice on elder law matters, including pinpointing when you need to address legal issues, what the implications are, and how to ensure that you and your family are protected. The event is free of charge to participants. The web conference topics include an overview of elder law issues, powers of attorney, informed consent and guardianship, advance directives, will and trusts, and the timing involved for each. “Caring for an aging parent brings many

challenges,” said Gloria Horton, Executive Director of VNA Plus. “It’s vital that a family know what legal issues they need to address and the appropriate timing involved. Being knowledgeable of these issues is key to protecting your aging parent and providing the best care possible.” This event’s presenter, Joseph T. Monahan, M.S.W., A.C.S.W., J.D., is an expert on social work issues, as well as being an attorney; and is the legal counsel for the NPDA. Pre-registration for the event is required. Sign up today by visiting the registration link at www.privatedutyhomecare. org. The NPDA is the first and only association in the country dedicated exclusively to private pay home care providers.

Later this year, the movie will likely be featured in additional Indiana film festivals, including the Indiana Historical Society Author Book Fair. Eventually, the Redwines would like to see the movie made into a feature film. Film producer and director, Louie Iaccarino, has expressed such interest as he has come to know the Redwines through their acting roles in the upcoming feature film, “Green River Road: An Outlaws’ Tale.”

work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) It is in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Word that the Truth is discovered. Jesus said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.â&#x20AC;? (John 14:6). Jesus is the only TRUE way to the Father and heaven. There are many false teachings about how to get to heaven but Jesus is the only way. Earlier in the same book (the Gospel of John) we are told that He (Jesus) is the Word, the living and active Message come from God. What we have in the Bible is the Message come from God through written Word. This is what I mean when I say a Bible believing church. Are you looking for something that has substance? Something with purpose? Something else I believe is that the church must have vision, or purpose. We read in Matthew 28:18-20 what this purpose should be. It is called The Great Commission. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make

disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.â&#x20AC;? Amen. It is with this purpose in mind for which I write. You see, Mt. Zion GBC is more than just a place out â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the middle of the corn field.â&#x20AC;? It is far from a â&#x20AC;&#x153;has beenâ&#x20AC;? church. Mt. Zion GBC is grounded on biblical teaching and finds its purpose in the Great Commission. Over the next few months there will be a lot take place around our â&#x20AC;&#x153;little church.â&#x20AC;? On Sunday, September 18 we are participating in Back to Church Sunday which will also kick off our new series titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;GodQuest.â&#x20AC;? Small groups are starting up soon so you might just check out what subjects are being offered and get signed up. Be sure to stay informed because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something going on at Mt. Zion. To learn more about Mt. Zion check us out on the web at www.mzgb.org and look us up on Facebook too.

Seeds of the Sower

By Michael Guido

When candles were the means of lighting, if a family wished to play a game, it would cost the price of a candle. From this came the saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth the candle.â&#x20AC;? What a lesson! Man struggles to keep his body in shape, but his soul goes to pot. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drained all the time.

So he goes on a drink and drug routine. But the cure is worse than the disease. For him life isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth the candle. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better way. Life begins with Christ. He says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am come that they may have life, and have it to the full.â&#x20AC;? Have Christ, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have life! Visit us at: TheSower.com

lican women throughout the Hoosier state who have already accomplished much. I am impressed with their achievements, motivations for public service and future aspirations.

Hawthorne Animal Clinic expands, makes room for customers By Pam Robinson Right around Thanksgiving, clients of Hawthorne Animal Clinic in Mount Vernon can expect to enter the doors of the new facility everyone sees going up at the 903 E. Fourth Street location. Clinic owner, Dr. Jason Zieren said a bigger facility was necessary to meet his clients’ needs and to accommodate the number of clients he serves. Since demolition and rebuilding proved more cost effective than remodeling, Zieren started to make plans for the new facility about a year ago. Just a couple of doors down, the house at 917 E. Fourth went up for sale in May, and the timing, not to mention the location, was perfect for setting up temporary offices. Construction soon started on the new facility. Available sketches display a proposed fiber board and brick building, but Zieren said plans

have changed and the new facility will be solid brick. Last week, plumbing was installed for the new 2,100 square feet building. It will

room than the old seven-foot square exam rooms. Clients may also look forward to a bigger lobby outfitted with a flat-screen

Dr. Gretchen Green and Dr. Jason Zieren offer 1,200 square feet more space than the demolished 900 square feet building. The additional space allows for a new, third exam room. Needless to say, the ninefoot square exam rooms will provide more running

TV. Likewise, Zieren’s staff is excited about the addition of an employee break room with its own flat-screen TV and a kitchenette. Already, Zieren has added a new veterinarian and two support staff to his payroll—

for a total of eight part-time and full-time employees. Mount Vernon native Dr. Gretchen Green joins Zieren to treat animals. She is the daughter of Dick and Jackie Green, owners of Mount Vernon Auto Parts. Green completed her undergraduate work at Indiana University and her veterinary training at the University of Tennessee. A Carmi, Ill., native, Dr. Jason Zieren trained as a veterinarian at the University of Illinois. He started his veterinarian practice when he opened Hawthorne Animal Clinic in April 2002. He and his wife Jennifer enjoy their two children, Isabella (5) and Carter (2). Walk-in hours for Hawthorne Animal Clinic are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 4:30 p.m. as well as Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. The clinic may be reached by phone at 812-838-6493.

Indiana House of Representatives seek interns for 2012 session The Indiana House of Representatives is accepting applications for the 2012 legislative session. This internship is a great opportunity to learn about state government, the legislative process and to attain valuable skills in a professional work environment. Qualified candidates are graduate or undergraduate

students, who are hardworking and motivated. Our interns come from a variety of educational backgrounds, such as political science, business, history and communications. The internship will last the duration of the 2012 legislative session which will be from the beginning of January through March.

Each intern is paired with a full-time staffer and given many important responsibilities. Interns are relied upon heavily during session, as workloads dramatically increase during this time. There are four different internships available in the following departments. • Member Services - Interns work directly with an assigned group of three state representatives. They are responsible for assisting in research, tracking legislation and helping constituents who are experiencing problems with various state agencies. • Media - Interns work directly with an assigned group of eight state legislators. They are responsible for writing news releases,

drafting guest columns and contributing to various publications in addition to gaining firsthand experience with the member’s media on a daily basis. • Computer/Technology - The IT intern works with the entire caucus by providing technical support to legislators. • Policy/Fiscal - The policy intern works with the legal team to research, track and analyze legislation. The policy intern also prepares committee reports for legislators. Interns receive a biweekly stipend of $700 and are given free parking. This is full-time internship and the typical day runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, interns are encouraged to stay to provide needed aid to

staff and legislators if session runs late. Applications will be accepted until October 31st, and interviews are scheduled after all required materials have been received. Many interns find that the internship turns into full-time employment once session is over or end up working for the government in a different capacity. This internship can lay the foundation for a robust career. The skills attained and connections made will prove to be invaluable, and I highly encourage anyone interested to apply. You can apply by going to this website: http://www.in.gov/legislative/house_republicans/ intern2011.html

Plans being finalized for bigger, better annual Autumnfest By Valerie Werkmeister For most people, the signals that Fall is approaching are the same: the cooler temperatures, the shorter days and most importantly the appearance of Mother Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintbrush on the trees. But, for small communities like Poseyville, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events like Autumnfest that offer the greatest sign. It is always held during the last weekend in September and offers one of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last chances to come together outside to enjoy food, fellowship and fun. The Poseyville Kiwanis have been hard at work planning this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events set to begin Saturday, September 24, at 6 a.m. with the annual Kiwanis pancake breakfast. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Autumnfest theme, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our everday hometown heroesâ&#x20AC;?, is fitting as our nation just commemorated the 10-year anniversary of September 11, 2001. Poseyvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own town marshal, Doug Saltzman, will be featured as the grand marshal of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual parade on Main Street. A cherry recipe bake-off, the Butch Embry Band, the Evansville Fire Performers, bake sales, inflatable rides for the kids, cruise-in, Little Miss and Mister, pumpkin carving contest, flea market, games and many other activities are planned for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. The Kiwanis-sponsored bake-off has become a popular new recent event. The first year featured recipes including pumpkin and last year was apple. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured flavor is cherry. Registration and entries will be held from 9 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Judging will begin at 11:30 a.m. Cherries must be one of the main ingredients of the recipe. Entries must be presented in a disposable container with the entrantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name and phone number clearly marked on the bottom. The top three entries will be selected and winners will receive ribbons and prizes. Following the contest, the Kiwanis will distribute the baked items for sale. Another Autumnfest favorite is the baby photo contest sponsored by the Posey County Jr. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club. The contest starts Monday, September 19 and will end on Sunday, September 25. The photos will be displayed in Hirschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department/Grocery Store throughout the week and then will continue at the Jr. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Booth throughout the weekend. Voting officially ends at 4 p.m. on Sunday. The first place prize winner will receive a $50 savings bond. $100 gift certificate to Toys to Treasure in Evansville and a free first birthday cake donated by Carolyn Higginson. The second place winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Toys to Treasure and a free first birthday cake. The contest is only for babies under one year of age and entries must be received by this Saturday, September 17. Please see details on the registration

form also printed in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PCN. In addition to the baby photo contest, the Jr. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club has decided to add a pumpkin carving contest. Real carved pumpkins should be brought to their booth by 5 p.m. on Saturday during Autumnfest. Tea lights will be provided for each pumpkin at dusk and judges will select their favorites for each category including: scariest, funnies, and most unique. Judging will begin at 7 p.m. and winners will be announced before the evening entertainment begins. Pumpkins can be picked up after the contest concludes or will become the property of the Jr. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club. There is no entry fee for this event. Perhaps the highlight of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Autumnfest will be the appearance of the Evansville Fire Performers. They currently perform on a weekly ba-

sis in Evansville near the Four Freedoms Monument on Riverside Drive. Their performance will begin at dark. Following is a schedule of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s events.

them. The key to holding our public officials accountable is to put a better system in place where multiple people are responsible for public funds and even private funds. I know that there are some measures already in place, but it is obviously time that we put a new set of measures in place to make it much more difficult for anyone to take money or other goods that do no belong to them. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Unfortunately, this has become a twoway street. As unemployment hovers around the nine to 10 percent mark, that means one in every ten workers you will come into contact with does not have a job at any given time. If you have ever been out of work for any given time (or even thought that you might), you know the amount of pressure it can put

on you. After months and perhaps even years of unemployment, what do you think some of these folks have left to lose? While I am in no way supporting theft of public or private funds, I do believe there is more we can do on all fronts to hold our people accountable for the funds they oversee. Perhaps it is time once again for people, even in Posey County, to begin locking the doors to their garages and storage buildings. Perhaps it is time to put into place a better checks and balance system at every level of government, and obviously in not-for-profit organizations. Apparently the temptation can become too great. As we continue to hear of these incidents happening in our communities, let’s begin to learn from these events. Let’s be proactive so we will not be required to be reactive.

Positive choices result in positive outcomes In reviewing our lives, we sometimes regret choices we’ve made. The rose-colored glasses of hindsight allow us to see how a different choice would have helped us to attain more prosperity or happiness. We need to consid- FOR THE er, though, that a change in a RECORD decision would alter the entire BY PAM course of our history. Contemporary author Greg- ROBINSON ory Stock puts it to us this way in his #1 New York Times bestseller, “The Book of Questions.” For question #210, he prompts us to contemplate the following: You are given a chance to return to any previous point in your life and change a decision you made, but you will lose everything that has happened to you since then. Is there a time you would return to? If so, would you like to retain the memory of the life you are giving up even though you could never recapture it? For a number of years, I dwelt on poor choices that I wished I could change. My past haunted me. Recently, I have just become resigned to forgetting about these regrets as best I could precisely because my choices cannot be changed. Gregory Stock has brought me true peace of mind about my past in presenting the scenario in his question #210. I realize now I wouldn’t change my past even if I could. I’ll give you one example of a decision that’s brought me grief. As a senior at Ken-

tucky Wesleyan College, I chose to do graduate studies at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey, on a half-tuition scholarship rather than to accept a full-tuition scholarship and a paid teaching fellowship at Western Illinois University in Macomb, Ill. The decision not only cost me fine teacher training, but also thousands of dollars in student loans that I didn’t pay off until I turned 40. I am certain I would be a successful college composition teacher today if I’d traveled the road to Western Illinois University. Of course, had I attended Western Illinois University, I most assuredly wouldn’t have met Jim Robinson, much less have married him. I know in my bones I couldn’t have married a finer man. He’s remained loyal to me and believed in me even when my dreams have failed to come true. He’s earned my complete trust. That kind of life partner and that kind of friendship mean far more than career success—at least to me. Few would argue that the consequences of a moment last a lifetime. (Readers of literature need only recall W.B. Yeats’ poem, “Leda and the Swan,” for a powerful illustration of that truth.) Given my choices, I’m especially grateful to still be on my feet in spite of numerous falls. By God’s grace, Jim Robinson has given me a hand up whenever I have needed it.

Indiana Youth Advisory Council results in net gain for legislature The Indiana Legislative Youth Advisory Council (ILYAC) is a body of 22 Indiana youths from across the state who serve in an advisory capacity to the Indiana General Assembly and report on issues affecting young adults in Indiana. The council was established in 2008 through House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1162. Members are chosen through an appointment process and serve on the council for two years. This year a student from our local community, Layton Hopper, joined ILYAC through an appointment made by Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma. He will be joining two other local students from our community who are members of ILYAC--Juliana Pajdo from Evansville and Bailey Trela from New Harmony. Layton Hopper could not be better suited to serve on this council. He is highly intelligent, involved in his community and has extensive knowledge in state government, which is why I recommended him for this position. I had the privilege of working with Layton when I ran for state representative last year. Joining my campaign in a volunteer capacity, he proved to be an invaluable asset. He quickly immersed himself in all facets of the campaign even though he himself could not yet vote. To say Layton Hopper’s resume is extensive is an understatement. At age 18, he already has a resume filled with

leadership experiences, community work, sports activities and student government roles. He is an extremely motivated young man and I ascertain we are only beginning to see the achievements Layton might accrue. In his own words, he has always found politics fascinating and hopes one day to serve the public himself as an elected official. He is well on his way to reaching that goal. He will be an asset to this council and along with his peers provide great insights to the Legislature on proposed legislation that concerns young Hoosiers. Members of ILYAC advise on pending legislation, conduct periodic seminars on leadership and government and submit a final report with all of their findings, observations, and recommendations. The council meets between three and six times a year and can hold two public hearings to receive testimony concerning Indiana youth. Members range in age from 16 to 22 and the program is run by the Indiana Bar Foundation Center for Civic Education. Of the 22 member council, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, Minority Leader of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives each appoint five individuals to the council with the remaining two appointments coming from the Governor.

Gavel Gamut’s “Restorative Justice” Last week Judge Brent Almon and Prosecuting Attorney Travis Clowers spoke with me about improving our criminal justice by using the proven approach of graduated sanctions. With 60% of America’s high school students expressing the opinion that illegal drug use is common place in our nation’s schools (National Center on Substance Abuse: Report 9-5-2001), drug cases should be a good place to start. Of course, our most common non-traffic offense is theft and we must protect the many victims of physical and sexual abuse. However, an initial concentration on drug crimes or crimes in which drugs, including alcohol, are a significant factor is justified by the great harm that illicit drug activity causes our society. Drug abuse is not a vic-

timless crime. Families, employers, fellow workers and students are but a few of the victims of drug

GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE abuse. And our economy is suffering enough without adding the dollar drain caused by all crimes, particularly drug crimes. What Judge Almon and Mr. Clowers suggested was Posey County is well situated to address our local physical, emotional and fiscal impact from illegal drug activity. We have a homogeneous community with good law enforcement, good schools, involved clergy and other professionals, and a concerned and committed citizenry.

It is a rare case when a defendant in any criminal matter does not have family, friends, co-workers, fellow students and other close associates somewhere in Posey County. Frequently a person charged with a crime here will touch many local lives. And there is the detrimental effect on tax revenues that must be directed at destructive behavior instead of toward constructive matters. With Indiana’s imprisonment cost running about $20,000.00 per year per prisoner, we could send our miscreants to college for less money. Although as an IU grad, I might find a sentence to Purdue to be cruel and unusual punishment. As you probably already know, Indiana’s Founding Fathers drafted our state constitution with the mandate that Indiana’s criminal justice system must be

based on rehabilitation, not retribution. So not only is it in our own best interest to try Restorative Justice, it is the law. Of course, how one views the concept of justice can vary greatly and is influenced by such things as whether one is a defendant, a victim or has just had a philosophical discussion at the coffee shop. The implementation of such entities as a Drug Court, a Domestic Violence Court, a Mental Health Court, etc., etc., requires careful planning. Posey County’s legal community will proceed carefully, incrementally and transparently as we seek to develop an integrated system of Restorative Justice that protects victims, taxpayers, families and other stakeholders. If you wish to be part of this important discussion, I urge you to share your ideas.

I had the honor of speaking to the council this summer at one of their meetings. It was great to interact with these students and to hear their questions about the various projects they are working on. I also spoke to them about last session and how to best communicate with the Indiana General Assembly. This is an excellent academic program and provides great insight into state government for these students. The body of this council is exceptionally talented and I know they will represent Indiana’s youth well. Congratulations Layton on the appointment. I look forward to hearing the council recommendations in the upcoming legislative session.

Letters to the Editor Voter sees hope in candidate I don’t know about all of you, but I am getting tired of paying $3.50-plus a gallon at the pump. Our country is one that prides itself on being resourceful and self-sufficient and yet we let an abundance of natural resources fall by the wayside. I am tired of being told that we can’t be both energy independent and eco-conscious. I think this is one issue contributes greatly to our lagging economy and it is definitely one that will have a great deal of influence on my vote for President in 2012. As I have been researching candidates, Herman Cain impressed me as someone who has a clear stance on energy independence and is ready to take great strides in utilizing our domestic natural resources. He is in favor of lessening

environmental regulation to allow an increase in domestic oil production and a decrease in dependence on foreign oil, much of which comes from the Middle East. He believes alternative energy sources can be the way of the future, but must be led by private industry. What sets Mr. Cain apart, in my opinion, is that his views on energy independence are driven entirely by a desire to see our great nation reach her full potential; he sets aside political rhetoric and promotes a common sense solution to this problem. I think that his views are quite refreshing and for that, I think he deserves to be considered a top-tier contender for President in 2012. Thank you for your time. Bethany White

North Posey Lady Vikings bring home PAC golf championship Second straight championship puts Vikings on area golf map

By Steve Joos The North Posey Lady Vikings are leaders of the PAC. Number one and one-A came through for the North Posey girls’ golf team Saturday. “One and one-A” was how Lady Vikings coach Kevin Wassmer described his top two golfers, Maggie Camp and Allison Koester, a testament to the even nature of their respective games and how they contribute to the team. They contributed heavily to the cause Saturday, finishing in the top two spots in leading the Lady Vikings to the Pocket Athletic Conference championship. Koeseter carded a 78 and Camp an 80 to capture medalist honors as the Lady Vikings shot a team score of 350, beating runner-up Gibson Southern (355) by five strokes at the Oakland City Golf Club. Taylor Patton carded a 95 and Shelby Ackerman a 97 to round out the North Posey foursome. Southridge was third in the meet with a score of 383, followed by Pike Central (415), Forest Park (422), South Spencer (460) and Tell City (508). The Lady Vikings traveled to the Vincennes Elks Club course Wednesday and finished first with 178 strokes, compared to 193 for the Lady Alices and 216 for South Knox. Camp shot a 39 to match Vincennes’ Alex Kotter for medalist honors, but Koester fired a 40 to give the Lady Vikings the edge. Kendall Crowder was third on North Posey with Pictured are 2011 Pocket Athletic Conference golf champions Shelby Ackerman, Maggie Camp, Taylor Patton, a 47, two strokes better than the Lady Alices’ number-three Allison Koester, Kendall Crowder and Coach Kevin Wassmer. scorer. Taylor Patton rounded out the foursome with a 53.

Lady Vikings flex ‘team’ muscle in thumping of Memorial’s Tigers By Dave Pearce According to Merriam Webster’s dictionary, a team is “a group of people who work together.” For those fortunate enough to be in attendance at the North Posey/Evansville Memorial volleyball game this week, they got the visual to go along with the definition. Despite being drastically out-sized, the North Posey Lady Vikings came out and showed what they can do when they are playing well as a team. The volleyball team completely dominated defending state runner-up and 9-2 Memorial by scores of 25-21, 25-15, and 25-23.

That is about as well as the team is capable of playing. “That is probably as close to the best we can play at this part of the year,” Coach Gary Gentil said. “That is the way we were playing when we beat Castle and Boonville and a couple of other teams but for a whole match, it was our best match of the year.” It is evident that the Viking team is senior-laden as the team moved with the precision of a Swiss watch against a Memorial team which featured a 6-foot-3 athletic spiker as well as several players back from last season. But the Vikings were not intimidated, and they let it be

known early that they were going to fight and claw. If they were going to lose, they would have to be beaten…they were not going to beat themselves. The Vikings did get off to a bit of a strange start after going to a 2-1 lead. An illegal substitution cost the Vikings a point and about 10 minutes time as the officials decided exactly what the outcome of the substitution would be. But not even the delay took the wind out of the Viking sails. The Lady Tigers came out of the delay with a new sense of esteem and took leads of 6-4 and 9-7 before senior Kendall Reidford went to the line. The senior setter promptly served the Vikings into a 13-10 lead. Successive kills by Deana Lindauer and Reidford eventually built the lead to 16-14. But the lady Tigers tied the game at 16-all prompting Gentil to call a time out. But “team” was the critical word as Megan Redman and Jordan Wassmer were digging everything Memorial attempted to put away while Wendi Simpson, Caitlinn Herrmann, Jordan Butler, and Megan Cumbee took control of the net. Reidford kept the Tigers off-balance all evening with great sets to teammates. When she wasn’t setting the ball, she was placing it out of the reach of Memorial’s big hitters. “Megan Redman has just great “cat-like” instincts and just does a great job in the libero role,” Gentil said. “We are using a lot of the season to get a lot of people comfortable playing in a lot of different positions because we may need that. She can play all the time back there and I know that. I have been lucky enough to have her for four years in multiple sports. She is a special player.” But Memorial was not going down without a fight. A Reidford “dink” gave the Vikings a 19-18 lead but it took a Herrmann kill to tie the game back up at 20. A Reidford serve tied the game again at 21 when Herrmann took over and blocked a kill attempt back into the body of the 6-3 spiker and then registered a big kill of her own to put the Vikings ahead 23-21, forcing a Memorial time out. Then with Lindauer at the service line, another Herrmann

Volleyball, from Page B1 block of the big hitter was followed by another Reidford dink to end the game at 25-21. Both teams came out playing hard the second game but the Lady Tigers took the first three points before North Posey could get on the board. Then, the Vikings regained composure and a Simpson kill tied the game at 4-all. A Redman ace and a Butler kill gave the Vikings a little breathing room before Memorial fought back to tie the score at 7, 8, and 9. Again, it was a Herrmann kill and a Reidford serve that gave the Vikes a little lead only to have Memorial to come back to tie the game at 12. But the Vikings scored the next five points on a Lindauer kill, a Herrmann kill, a Herrmann dink, and a Simpson kill. From that point forward, with Brianna Brown throwing in a service winner, the Vikings would allow Memorial only three more points before a Butler kill ended the game at 25-15. The Vikings got out to a quick start in the third and final game only to have Memorial assert itself and take a 12-6 lead before Gentil took a time out to rally the troops. But Memorial continued to build a lead and at one time, led 17-10 before the Vikings caught fire. From that point forward, North Posey outscored Memorial 15-6 to win the match in three straight games with Lindauer and Herrmann putting the game away at the net. “We’ve been working on fighting back

and we just kept working hard, Reidford said of her role as one of the team leaders. “Last year they beat us really bad and we were just pumped to get back at them.” While Gentil wasn’t really surprised by his team’s play, he certainly was pleased. “We did a lot of ‘head popping back up’ and realizing that we could compete with anybody,” Gentil said following the game. “That was a very good team over there.” Reidford said that it was critical for the team to continue to encourage one another even when things weren’t going their way in the third game. The freshman and reserve team also gained wins over Memorial. “Tonight we had to play without one crucial element, Kelsey Everley, and it killed her not being in there,” Gentil said of the backrow specialist. “But her emotional part on the sidelines tonight with the girls was just irreplaceable.” The Vikings quickly found out the meaning of “team” as Reidford went down in the first game against Barr-Reeve on Saturday in the Mount Vernon Invitational. Redman came in at the setter position.

Raiders run over Vikings 34-14, both teams move to 3-1 on the year By Dave Pearce The good news is the North Posey Vikings got off to a great start at Southridge on Friday night. They won the toss and deferred. They stopped the Raiders on their first set of downs and scored on their first two possessions. That’s where the good news came to a screeching halt. Following a long punt by Southridge early in the first quarter, Colton Motz, Jourdan Cox, and Wes Harness and the rest of the Vikings marched the ball down the field. When Harness took the hand-off and got outside at the five yard line, the Vikings took the early 6-0 lead, A Nick Neidig extra point put the visiting Vikings ahead 7-0. But as the Vikings would find out later on in the evening, Blake Nordhoff is a tough customer who can not only run at you but can also run through you and over you. With the Vikings on the verge of pinning the Raiders in the shadow of their goal post for a second time, the Raider coaching staff called a time out with 5:07 showing on the first quarter clock. After no gain on second and 10, the Raiders threw a screen pass to Nordhoff, a play the Viking defense had prepared for most of the week. But practice is tough to simulate game situations and so is Nordhoff. He carried the ball to midfield. He would run the ball from the fullback position 19 times for 109 yards on the night but did not score a touchdown. However, his presence at fullback drew enough attention to allow running back Daniel Perez to score a pair of touchdowns on the night, his first coming on a pass reception after the Raiders had moved the ball upfield to the 11. His score and the ensuing extra point tied the game at 7-all. But at least for a little while, the Vikings had an answer. It came on the defensive side of the ball as they were able to hold and give the offense a chance. For the remainder of the quarter and into the second, it appeared the game could turn into a defensive contest. With a couple minutes gone in the second quarter, the Raiders were again backed up to their goal post and on first down, a quarterback keeper following a broken play was good for three yards. However, Neidig took those yards away on the next play as he caught the runner behind the line of scrimmage to bring up third and 10. The defense then forced a Southridge fumble and Harness came up with the ball. Quarterback Colton Motz then called his own number for a change and got to the outside for the score and the Vikings were ahead 14-7 following Neidig’s kick at the 9:18 mark. The defenses battled back and fourth until Perez was able to get wide open for a 31-yard

score to tie the game at 14 at the 6:45 mark. The Raiders took just a little over four minutes to add another touchdown as the Raider line appeared superior to North Posey. At the 2:07 mark, the Raiders added their third score of the game to take the lead at 21-14 on a Lukas Messmer touchdown. But the heartbreaker could have come on the ensuing drive as the Vikings were looking to answer before half-time. Following a 27-yard kick-off return by Harness, on second and 10, Motz fired a pass to receiver Jared Reidford. The ball appeared to bounce off his pads and high into the air and lineman Nathan Tretter ran under the ball and carried it 35 yards into the end zone to give the Raiders a 28-14 lead and apparently take all the steam out of the Viking attack. Harness, who had injured his ankle in the second half of the Gibson Southern game, reinjured it in the second quarter and would not play a down during the second half. The Viking defense spent most of the third quarter on the field before yielding the game’s final score at the 1:43 mark of the third quarter. Neither team scored in the final 13:43 but the Raiders didn’t need to. The Vikings were held to an almost unbelievable 77 yards on the ground while the Raiders rushed for 270 yards. The Vikings did have 146 yards in the air but were beaten in every phase of the game. “We got it handed to us,” Coach Carl “Joe” Gengelbach said after the game. “I can’t say anything but good things about Southridge. We came out and got a quick score and then we got another one and I thought we were in pretty good shape.” When questioned about the play of the line, Gengelbach said he was as surprised as anyone. “If you had asked me yesterday, I would have said no, they are not superior to us but tonight, they proved that they were better than we were up front,” he said. “That’s what they do. They run the football and they run it hard. We knew basically what they were going to do but you have to pay attention to detail when you play them. You have to be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. I think we accepted too many of the blocks.” But Gengelbach said he knew the Raiders were capable of moving the ball. And did they ever. “They are too good a football team not to move the ball,” Gengelbach said. “But the thing that I told the kids that disappointed me a little was that I didn’t think they would handle us on both sides of the ball like they did. They maintained long time-consuming

The Vikings must regroup fast as they will take on Heritage Hills this weekend in Poseyville. Photo by Dave Pearce drives and defensively, they were all over the field on us.” With the win, the Raiders raised their record to 3-1, their only loss an early loss to Jasper. The Vikings also stand at 3-1 but the loss to Southridge was not only a conference loss but also a loss to a potential sectional opponent. “I told the kids that we can do one of two things,” Gengelbach said. “We can be satisfied or we can come back and get ready to work and get things back on the right side of the ledger. One loss is not going to ruin the season but the thing is we have to be ready to play every Friday night and we have to play hard all the way through.” Gengelbach said his team can certainly learn from a game such as this early in the year. “They were feeling pretty good about themselves and they should have been,” Gengelbach said of his team. “But reality sets in and we have to realize that we have to refocus and get back into the things we do well and not fall back into a trap like this again.” Cox led the team with 44 yards while Eric O’Risky had 33 and Harness only six. Colton

Martin carried once for two yards. Motz hit on 16-of-31 passes for 125 yards but had two interceptions. Cox was also the leading receiver with six catches for 38 yards while Reidford had four for 27 yards and O’Risky had three for 23. Neidig finished with a pair of catches for 38 yards and Tyler Adkins caught a pair of passes for 20 yards. Harness recovered a pair of fumbles while Neidig had a great night punting the ball, averaging 39 yards on three punts while two times sticking the Raiders inside the 20. “If there was a bright spot, I thought Eric O’Risky came in and ran hard and did all that he could do,” Gengelbach said. “He was thrown into a bad situation early. That’s a heck of a game for a young man to get his baptism in. All the way down through our system, I feel like we’ve got kids who can play. They just have to be ready.” The Viking reserve team entered the week undefeated. The Vikings will have little time to recover as conference leader Heritage Hills will come to Poseyville on Friday night, fresh off a 2414 win over Jasper. Game-time at Memorial Stadium is 7 p.m.

Big play Alices keep Mount Vernon from first Big Eight victory

Mount Vernon junior Craig Dick follows his blockers, Aaron Roberts and Hank Dausman to gain valuable yardage during By Steve Joos Mount Vernon football coach Paul Maier was pleased with the effort he saw in Friday’s game with the visiting Vincennes Alices, but not the outcome. Take away a few big plays and the outcome would have been more to the coach’s liking, as well. The Wildcats played a good game on both sides of the ball Friday, but three big plays proved to be their undoing in a 26-21 loss to the visiting Alices at the school football field. “What do you say?” Maier commented after the Cats had lost their third straight game after opening the season with a win over Tell city. “It was obvious what they were going to do and we just need to take care of business on that end. I was very pleased, I really feel that this was the first game this year where we had a complete effort, offensively, defensively and on special teams and we got it done.” But the Cats were let down a few times. They came back from a 7-6 deficit in the second quarter when Vincennes’ Tyler Stutsman intercepted a Craig Isaac pass with a mere three seconds left on the clock and re-

turned it 23 yards for a touchdown, which put the Alices up 12-7 at halftime. Mount Vernon rallied twice to retake the lead, but each time Vincennes came up with big plays, like a 67-yard Gunnar Hutchinson to Taylor George touchdown pass midway through the third quarter and a 70-yard reception by George that he almost took into the end zone. That play set up the game-winning score for Vincennes and came on third and 20 from the Alices’ 30-yard line as Hutchinson was in the process of being sacked. “Football is what is the old saying…a game of inches?” Maier asked. “It’s a game of few plays. You could point to two or three plays that if we make them, we win the game. And we didn’t.” The team’s effort was a step in the right direction after a devastating loss at Mount Carmel in Mount Vernon’ previous game. The rushing game was much improved, with Michael Rynkiewich carrying the ball 11 times for 73 yards and a touchdown. Despite the interception, Isaac completed seven of 13 passes for 92 yards and another score. The Wildcats also did a better job of holding on to the ball, committing only two fumbles and

losing one. But they couldn’t stop those big plays, nor could they keep the officials from pulling out the yellow flags, as Mount Vernon was whistled for nine penalties, which resulted in a loss of 61 yards, most all of them at the worst possible moment, like the 30-yard gain that was negated by an illegal block in the back midway through the first quarter. “We’ve got to play more disciplined in all phases of the game,” Maier said. “We’ve got to eliminate the big plays. Defensively, it was huge plays that killed us. The discipline part, it was penalties that killed us. We’ve got to eliminate those.” Although Maier wasn’t all that pleased with the ratio of penalties (the Alices were only flagged once). The game was scoreless until the Alices marched 52 yards in 11 plays, consuming the first 5:15 of the second quarter. Patrick Toole capped the drive with a six-yard run. The two-point conversion try failed (Vincennes came up empty on three of their extra point tries) and came away from the drive with a 6-0 lead. The Wildcats took their first lead of the

night with 2:17 on the clock before halftime, when Isaac connected with Tyler Ritzert from 10 yards out. Nick Theodosis booted the extra point and the Cats led 7-6. That lead held up until Stutsman stepped in front of a Mount Vernon receiver with three seconds left deep in Wildcat territory and took it 23 yards to the house, giving Vincennes a 12-7 lead at the intermission. Back came the Cats and this time, they mounted the long drive, marching 67 yards in nine plays to open the third quarter, with Rynkiewich doing the honors from 28 yards out. The Theodosis conversion made the score 14-12 with 7:02 left in the third quarter. That lead lasted all of 62 seconds. Vincennes’ next drive started on the Alices’ 32yard line. On first down, Toole was stopped for no gain, but on second down, Hutchinson found George and George found a seam, breaking away from the Wildcats’ defense and going 68 yards for the touchdown. Jordan Shots poked in the two-point conversion to make the score 18-14 Alices. Hutchinson had a big night, completing 11 of 21 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown. George caught seven of those passes for 165 yards, while Toole ran for 52 yards and two scores. After Vincennes ate up the first half of the third chapter, Mount Vernon promptly soaked up most of the rest, taking more than five minutes to go 68 yards in 11 plays, with Craig Dick putting the ball in the end zone by way of a 14-yard run. Theodosis’ third extra point of the night made the score 21-20 with 32.3 seconds left in the third quarter. A one-point lead with the fourth quarter remaining isn’t a very secure one, but the Wildcats nearly made it stand up, if the defense could have just made Hutchinson go down a little earlier. But that’s football. A game of inches and big plays. The loss dropped Mount Venron to 1-3 on the season, 0-2 in the Big Eighth Conference. Maier wants his team to work on eliminating big plays in advance of this week’s game at Washington. He knows the Hatchets will run the ball, but the focus is going to have to be on the Wildcats. They’ll have to take care of their own issues before worrying about the team in Hatchet Hollow. Like not giving up big plays.

Reserve Vikings to carry perfect record into this week Special to the News The North Posey reserve football team stayed unbeaten last week, too. The Viking reserves raised their record to 3-0 last week with an 8-0 victory at Gibson Southern Tuesday night. James Marshall scored the only touchdown of the night when he took it in from a yard out with 6:08 to go in the second quarter and then added the two-point conversion. Marshall also helped out on defense, with three solo tackles, an assist and an interception. James O’Risky led the team with eight solo tackles and five assists, while pressuring the Titan reserve quarterback once. Kolby Lary and Dallas Glover each had five solos, while Paul Szbinski had four. Dylan Wright had two solos and Zach Wargel one. Lary and Glover each had two assists, while Wargel and Wright each had one. Szbinski pressured the quarterback twice and sacked the Gibson Southern signal-caller twice,

while Wargel had a deflection. North Posey’s earlier wins came over county rival Mount Vernon 34-6 and South Spencer 42-12. Against Mount Vernon, Marshall scored the first touchdown of the game on a five-yard run and then threw two more scoring strikes, one to Bryce Martin, and the other to Dusty Graulich. Wright scored on a 63-yard run and O’Risky closed out the scoring with a five-yard run. Marshall hooked up with Martin for a two-point conversion and kicked three others. Glover registered five solo tackles for the Viking reserves, while Lary added four. Wright, O’Risky and Marshall each turned in three solo tackles. O’Risky assisted on four more tackles, while Luke Heldt assisted on three. Martin intercepted a Wildcat pass, while O’Risky, Glover and Lance Inkenbrandt each deflected a pass.

Mount Vernon’s only score of the night came on a 25yard run by Lucas Goings with 5:53 to go in the fourth quarter. It was O’Risky family night against the Rebel reserves, as Eric O’Risky did the honors offensively in the season opener at South Spencer, scoring two touchdowns, and Darren O’Risky took it in another time. Marshall scored a touchdown and booted three extra points, while Inkenbrandt added a six-yard run and Wright returned a kickoff 56 yards for another touchdown. North Posey’s defense added a safety for the team’s other points. Marshall and Heldt each turned in four solo tackles, while Wright, Szbinski and Wargel each had three. Derek Lindauer had two solos, while Marshall and Eric O’Risky each had an interception. The Viking reserves took that perfect record into a game with Southridge Monday night.

Wildcats defeat North Posey, take second at own invitational By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon volleyball team ended last week the way they started it. By beating North Posey. The Lady Wildcats finished second in their own invitational tournament Saturday, beating North Posey 25-19, 25-19, in the process. In addition to their county rivals, the Lady Cats topped Memorial 25-19, 2515, but couldn’t beat those other Lady Vikings, the ones from Barr-Reeve, falling to the eventual champions 25-21, 25-21. “I was very, very proud of the girls,” Mount Vernon coach Andi Allford said. “Against Barr-Reeve, it was just a body control thing. We didn’t have control of our bodies at the net and that resulted in a few net errors. The reaction timing was good and that makes or breaks plays.” Allford was glad that her team came out focused and feels that they can work on the timing and body control in practice. Mount Venron held a 20-17 lead in the first set against Barr-Reeve, but a sevenpoint run with Jenna Knepp serving turned that advantage into a 24-21 deficit. A spike kill gave the ball back to the Lady Cats, but Meagan Martin’s first offering ended with the ball going out of bounds, giving BarrReeve game point,’ “We had control, but then we bundled errors,” Allford said. “And when you bundle errors at 20-21 or at the end of the game, you don’t have time to compensate for that.” In volleyball nowadays, it comes down to which team makes the fewest errors and doesn’t make them at the right time, Allford explained. A five-point streak late in the second set enabled Mount Venon to shrink a sixpoint Barr-Reeve advantage to 22-21, but a blocking error ended that rally. The Lady Cats stayed in control against Memorial and North Posey, adding that the Lady Vikings played a similar game to their county battle of Tuesday night, although North Posey was missing their top setter after a first-match injury. North Posey coach Gary Gentil felt that his team did well in overcoming the loss of senior setter Kendall Reidford. “In the first game, we were battling BarrReeve point for point to the eight-point area,” Gentil said. “And they won the tournament. They got a little run on us in the first game and we were battling point for point in the second game when Kendall goes out. The girls did a tremendous job adjusting. We had little spurts her and there that went against us.” Gentil felt that his team played well and fought hard the rest of the day, He was especially pleased with Brianna Brown, who had to return to libero after Reidford went down, and Megan Redman, who moved to setter, but the touches weren’t the same as they were without Reidford. Despite that, Gentil felt that his team played well and put up a battle after Reidford suffered a torn quadriceps and a punched tendon. She is day-to-day heading into the Lady Vikings’ matches this week. Barr-Reeve pulled away from North Posey for a 25-10, 25-11 victory. In addition to the loss to Mount Venon, North Posey battled Memorial in the first set, but

it wasn’t enough as the Lady Tigers posted a 25-22, 25-15 decision for third place. “We fought really hard,” Gentil said. “Our whole game was a little step off, proud of how we battled all day. Out of the comfort area is basically what it was. We’d fight everybody to 25-21, 25-20, things such as that. There’s about five to eight points every game that come from that comfort zone and they just weren’t there.” North Posey did claim the reserve championship, beating Barr-Reeve 20-25,2519,15-11, and Mount Vernon 25-18,2425,15-9. Mount Vernon’s reserves also dropped a 25-11,25-13 decision to Barr-Reeve. Saturday’s tourney included a T-shirt sale fundraiser for Diabetes (coach Allford is a type-one Diabetic). Memorial held a similar benefit for breast cancer awareness two years ago, which gave Mount Vernon the inspiration. The coach thanked the boosters for their help in organizing the benefit. Neither coach was all that pleased with the first meeting between the two teams, won by the Lady Cats 25-17, 25-17, 24-19 on Tuesday night. Allford thought that her team came out with more energy, but they still relaxed too much, while Gentil wanted to see better fundamentals from his squad. “They came out with energy,” Allford said. “Which is something we’ve been fighting and have been struggling with, but they lost it by game three, so we’ve still got to work on that.” Gentil felt that Tuesday’s contest was the Lady Vikings’ weakest showing of the season so far. “There was times that neither one of us kept serve or kept momentum,” the North Posey coach said. “We struggled covering tonight, we struggled passing, we just struggled tonight.” Gentil complimented Mount Vernon on its scrappiness, but added that the team’s coverage of the Lady Wildcats’ attack was weak. He also noticed Mount Vernon’s drive at the outset of the contest and felt that the Lady Vikings didn’t match that level. The Lady Wildcats built an eight-point lead at 21-13 in the first set, but their last four points came on North Posey service errors. The two teams battled back and forth in the second set until Mount Vernon took advantage of a Lady Vikings side out and then two points off Ritzert’s serves broke a 5-5 tie. Another combination of side outs and long service runs stretched the lead to 13-7 before North Posey went on a run of its own, cutting the lead back to 15-13 before another service error broke Wendi Simpson’s serve. Four points later, Mount Vernon held a 20-14 lead and never looked back. The third set was even closer, which may have been due to the drop off in energy Allford was concerned about. Once again, Mount Vernon took advantage of Lady Viking service errors to open a lead, but this time North Posey hung around until two points with Ritzert at the line and another service error gave the Lady Wildcats a little beating room, but that lead was

Mount Vernon’s Megan Martin sets up the kill for teammate Livia Hopper as Megan Montgomery stands ready during a recent match. Photo by Dave Koch never more than four points until a pair of side outs ended the match. All three sets ended on Lady Cat rally points. “There was a letdown there,” Allford said. “We lost a little intensity, but we still managed to pull through and take care of a win.” A lot of Mount Vernon’s points came from the outside, but the coach said that the entire team contributed to the win. She went on to say that the team has to work on finishing and taking the care of the ball when it has the opporuntity. Jacey Ritzert had 17 kills and two aces for the Lady Cats, while Olivia Hopper blocked two shots, Lauren Stemple had 14 digs and Martin helped out with 37 assists. Reidford and Simpson each registered an ace for the Lady Vikings. Simpson also added four kills and Reidford 13 assists. Redman led North Posey with nine digs,

while Caitlin Hermann added five blocks. Mount Vernon had an easier time in the preliminary, beating the Lady Wildcat reserves 25-15, 25-14. The Lady Wildcats picked things up on Thursday night at the outset of their 25-9, 25-19, 25-17 win over visiting Boonville. Just about everybody stepped up against the Lady Pioneers, as Martin registered 26 assists, Ritzert turned in 15 kills and Stemple turned in 15 digs. Brittany Wallis had five aces, while Meagan Montgomery blocked two volleys. “I feel like our girls played very solid,” Allford said. “They played very consistent, they played very level-headed and they showed growth.” The team was focused in the first set and it showed, the coach added. The reserves came up short, losing 25-22, 19-25, 15-5.

New Harmony Lady Rappites starting to gel at just the right time By Steve Joos The New Harmony volleyball team is starting to put things together. The Lady Rappites shook off a tough loss in the first set Saturday to pull out a 1725, 25-18, 25-17, 27-25 win over visiting Cannelton for their second win of the season and a split of last week’s matches. “I think we’re just starting to put things that we’ve practiced into game time,” coach Liz Prewitt said. “I think it’s taking us a little time to get ready and warm up. Hope-

fully, we’ll get there to the point where we’re doing it from start to finish.” Prewitt felt that the team may have been a bit overconfident in the final set, in which New Harmony rallied a number of times before putting away Cannelton. “We think we can stand on our heels and do all those silly little mistakes that every team struggles with,” the coach explained. “We just need to do it from start to finish.” After New Harmony won two of the first three sets for

a 2-1 lead, the Lady Bulldogs did a better job of hanging around in the fourth game, leading 18-17 off a kill with Allicyn Garrett at the line, but a side out broke Garrett’s serve. New Harmony retook the lead with Morgan Mathews serving, but once again couldn’t seem to put Cannelton away, as a three-point run off Taylor Childers’ serves put the Lady Bulldogs back in front briefly. A rotation error stopped that surge, but the score was knotted up again at 25-25

before the Lady Rappites stopped Cannelton on a bump kill for the go-ahead rally point and finished it off by killing a volley off a Kendall Wilson serve to nail down the contest. In each set after losing the first contest, New Harmony would take control early and then hold off the Lady Bulldogs. That was especially the case in the second and third sets. Wilson was at the line when the Lady Rappites scored six unanswered points while jumping out to a 10-4 lead in the second set. A four-point service streak with Childers at the line pulled Cannelton back to within three points at 14-11, but the visitors couldn’t get any closer the rest of the way. Two points with Matthews serving gave New Harmony the game and squared the match. The Lady Rappites took an even bigger lead in the third contest, as they scored seven points off Alyssa Scherzinger offerings en route to a 10-3 advantage, which became 10 points for most of the game. A series of late missed serves enabled Cannelton to trim the lead a little, but when Sarah Powers sent one into the net, it was game point for New Harmony. The Lady Rappites’ coach may have been concerned about her team getting back on its heels, but at one point in the match, Cannelton’s coach was telling her team to get back off its heels. “I think we were just catching them off-guard,” Prewitt said. “They gave us a ran for our money in this game. They were tipping when we weren’t ready for it. They’re a much improved team from last year. They’ll get there.” Prewitt felt that the win

was a team effort, adding that Scherzinger did a good job, while Wilson performed well in her first match staying in the rotation and sophomore Kendall Morris showed good leadership. The Lady Rappites started the week on a down note, losing to visiting Princeton Tuesday 26-24, 23-25, 2325, 28-26, 15-7. “I think we just wanted it (against Cannelton),” Prewitt said. “Against Princeton, we wanted it, but we didn’t

know how to go about it.” The Lady Rappites gave Princeton a battle through four sets, but in the fifth, the Lady Tigers apparently wanted it more and the Lady Rappites appeared to have given up, Prewitt said. Despite the loss, Prewitt thinks that her team is starting to round into form as the stretch drive begins. Now they just have to get on the same page and put things together for an entire match.

Lady Wildcats look to regroup after tough week There was some good news for the Mount Vernon girls’ soccer team last week. It just wasn’t on the field. The Lady Wildcats watched their record fall to 5-4 and their Big Eight Conference mark drop to 1-2 after they were shut out by the conference’s two toughest teams last week, falling at Jasper 7-0 on Tuesday and at Washington 10-0 on Saturday. “We started out with a lot of confidence,” coach Liz Castle said. “We went into Jasper feeling confident and only trailed 2-0 at halftime, but then things fell apart in the second half.” Jasper scored three quick goals in succession from the same part of the field and that deflated Mount Vernon’s sails in a hurry, Castle said. Injuries have also taken their toll on the Lady Cats, Castle said. They team was without four starters at Washington, as Megan Randall, Zoe Brown and Stefanie Bulla were all sidelined, while Charity Konrath had the miss the game due to family commitment. Claire Hatton and Sierra Bryant each scored three goals for the Lady Hatchets, while Bryant was one of three girls with two assists each. The good news for the Lady Cats came in Sunday’s Mount Vernon River Days parade, where the team marched with and rode on a float promoting breast cancer awareness. The team collected $75 in donations, providing what Castle called “a small ray of hope.”

All in all, it wasn’t that bad for the Mount Vernon girls’ golf team at Saturday’s Big Eight Conference girls’ golf meet. The Lady Wildcats finished fourth in the meet with a score of 351, losing third place at Evansville’s Thunderbolt Pass Golf Course to Vincennes (350) by a stroke. Kendyl Bourne earned allconference honors with a 74, while Kay-Leigh Albright carded an 87 and Bailey Ash turned in a 90. Kelsey Moye and Hayley Salaman each shot 100s. Jasper dominated the meet, while Princeton finished second. The Lady Wildcats prepared for the Big Eight by winning twice earlier in the week, on the road Tuesday against Harrison and at Western Hills on Thursday, where they needed a fifth score to top Carmi. Mount Vernon and the Lady Bulldogs matched scores on their foursomes as each posted a 194, but Moye came through when needed, shooting a 58 to beat Carmi’s fifth golfer, Brooke Crawford (61) by three strokes. Bourne first a 39 to lead the Lady Cats, but she had to share medalist honors Carmi’s Brittney Garrison, who also shot a 39. Ash carded a 48, Albright a 52 and Salaman a 55, but those scores were matched by the rest of the Lady Bulldog foursome (Kramer Williams, Arwen Alysworth and Rife Doutthittt), forcing a move to the fifth score for a tiebreaker.

Taylor Utley paced the Lady Panthers with a 52. Brooke Gwinn shot a 60 against Carmi and Reitz, while Ellen Searcy added a 65. The Lady Cats’ first conference tune-up was Tuesday at Evansville’s McDonald Golf Course, where they shot a 198 against an undermanned Harrison crew which didn’t have enough

for a team score. Once again, Bourne took the top spot by firing a 43. Albright was second with a 47, while Salaman (52) and Ash (56) rounded out the foursome. The Lady Warriors only sent three golfers to the meet, with Kali Johnston (52) their low scorer. Moye shot another 58 against Harrison, while Gwinn carded a 65 and Searcy a 69.

Boonville blanks Lady Vikings The North Posey girls’ soccer team wasn’t beaten by one person Tuesday night. Try three players. Three different Lady Pioneers scored in Boonville’s 3-0 whitewash of the visiting Lady Vikings Tuesday. Emily Burks-Edwards, Kate Hendrickson and Danielle Parker each scored goals for Boonville, which also got assists from two different people, Andi Johnson and Brittany Jones. The loss comes one week after a 2-2 tie with Wood Memorial. One could call that a team effort.

North Posey seventh graders continue to dominate The North Posey Junior High School seventh grade football team remained undefeated last week with a 28-6 win over Castle North. Ironically, the Castle north eighth graders defeated the young Vikings by an identical score. Isaac Mayer had 198 yards on the ground and accounted for all four touchdowns in the seventh grade game while Austin Graves scored on a 60-yard touchdown reception from eighth grade quarterback Preston Reese. This week in action at Heritage Hills, the North Posey seventh graders kept their undefeated season in check with a lop-sided win over Heritage Hills. The seventh graders led Heritage Hills 30-0 at halftime and finished with a score of 30-16. Everyone played great for the Vikings, according to Coach Vince McClure. Isaac Mayer and Dalton Rankin each had a pair of touchdowns. The eighth grade team entered the fourth quarter down 14-6, but came up short in the end. Austin Graves caught a 14 yard pass from Josh Cooke for the only touchdown of the game for the Vikings. Overall, it was a tremendous effort by all as they continue to show great heart and improvement. The next game for the junior high is Thursday, Sept. 15 at home versus Southridge. Please come out and support your Vikings!!! Mayer scored on runs of and 78 yards. Mayer was good on the2-pt conversion. Dalton Rankin converted for two points on the second touchdown. Rankin scored on a 4-yard run but the conversion failed. He later got loose for a 49-yard touchdown run and Cristian Liebhart was good on the two-point conversion. Austin Graves scored on a 14-yard touchdown reception from Josh Cooke in the eighth grade game. In North Posey Junior High volleyball action this week, the Vikings were defeated by Mount Vernon by scores of 25-14 and 25-8. For the match Jacie Bullington and Abbi Voegel had one ace apiece. Abby Vaupel had four digs while Voegel added one.

Mount Vernon soccer team still searching for first win By Steve Joos “It looked like we were running in wet concrete. We just looked slow. I don’t know what, you want to look your best in every game and improve in every game and go forward. We looked like we’re not putting out a complete effort.” That was how Mount Vernon boys’ soccer coach Travis Kaiser summed up his team’s week after the Wildcats dropped three games, including a 2-1 loss at home to Tell City Saturday where the team jumped out to a lead, but couldn’t hold on. “We were kind of going through the motions,” Kaiser said. “Tell City didn’t do anything to cause this. No excuses, as far as I’m concerned, Tell City did enough to get by. We were just running in concrete.” An unassisted goal by Michael Cannato gave the Cats a 1-0 lead, but a pair of what Kaiser called “soft goals” did in Mount Vernon, which is still looking for its first win of the season. “There’s no way around it,” Kaiser said. “What’s bad is, they had two shots inside the six-yard box because we didn’t mark up, we didn’t defend, and we were just content.” The Marksmen scored their first goal late in the first half, tying the game at halftime. Kaiser tried to rally his troops at halftime, but 20 seconds into the second half, there’s a shot inside the six-yard box and the Marksmen converted the go-ahead goal. Sean Tenbarge scored two goals Thursday as the Gibson Southern Titans blanked visiting Mount Vernon 6-0. Brody DeWeese scored a goal and added an assist for the Titans. “Gibson Southern’s a good team,” Kaiser said. “The first half, we kind of played like we did (against Tell City). We played back on our heels, they played us, and we let them do anything they wanted to do.” The Cats played better in the second half, but it wasn’t enough as the team once again

seemed to moving in wet concrete, accoriding to Kaiser. The Wildcats were fortunate, stopping the Titans in the first 15 minutes of the game, but Gibson Southern still built a 4-0 halftime lead, with two of those goals “soft” according to the coach Once again, Pete Condol single-handedly took it to a Mount Vernon boys’ sports team and once again, the Wildcats’ coach was not happy with his team’s effort. This time, it was the boys’ soccer Cats who got burned. Four days after running over the football squad for three touchdowns in a 36-14 romp at Mount Carmel, Condol scored all of the Golden Aces’ goals in a 4-1 win over the Wildcats at Mount Vernon. The secret to Condol’s success on the soccer field? That’s right, he’s a forward. “I told the boys, all you can do is mark them,” Kaiser said. “It’s what I told the boys. They didn’t do anything special, they just kick the ball forward and he went after it. If you can’t defend one player, we don’t deserve to win. We can’t defend any forwards now. Yes, he’s big, strong and fast, so he moved without the ball and got to it.” To say the least, Kaiser was not pleased with the way his team allowed Condol to dictate the tempo of the game and how the Wildcats apparently relaxed after they tied the game early in the second half. “We dominated the first 15-20 minutes of the second half,” Kaiser said. “We scored a goal and then we were done.” The coach felt that the defense mainly allowed Condol to get through, something that was especially troubling with Mount Vernon’s upperclass-heavy defensive back. “That’s upperclassmen not doing what needs to be done,” Kaiser said. “He was quick and we’re playing slow.” Quick or not, Condol took over the game,

An unassisted goal two Kaiser thought that the team wasn’t using minutes later made the score 3-1 and a shot their left feet at times, or they weren’t seewith just less than 16 minutes left on the ing the shot or had their heads down. The clock closed out the scoring for Mount Car- team needs to be better at passing the ball, mel. the coach added, saying that sometimes the Kaiser felt that his team progressed offen- defense won’t pass it, but the offensive third sively, although he also wanted to see the will, and vice versa, something he attributed Wildcats take more shots. to a lack of experience. “We’re passing up shots along the 18“We should be around .500 now,” Kaiser to 20-yard area,” Kaiser said. “I’d say we said. “But things aren’t bouncing our way.”

Wildcats move to 10-3 with wins over Day School, Hatchets Must have been the competition. The week got off to a rough start for the Mount Vernon boys’ tennis team, but it got better over the next two nights, as the Wildcats recovered from a 5-0 loss to visiting Jasper on Tuesday to nip Day School 3-2 on Wednesday and win 4-1 Thursday at Washington. Coach Vicki Oelmer felt that the team played well during the week, adding the Cats were more evenly matched against Day School and Washington. The contest against the Hatchets was more competitive than the score indicated, according to the coach. “The final score was 4-1, but it could have been 3-2 either way,” Oelmer said. “Two spots went to three sets, which made things closer.” Jevin Redman and Ross Canada were in good form with two wins on the week, while the second doubles combination of Curt Crabtree and Hunter Wilson, was the other consistent spot. Against the Hatchets, Redman topped Justin Hume 6-4, 6-0 at first singles, Canada beat Cory Thompson 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 at second singles and the second doubles duo of Crabtree and Wilson were 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 winners over Sherrod Robinson and Heath Goodwin. Todd Sheffer provided the fourth spot with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Garrett Burton. First doubles was a rough spot for the Wildcats all week, as Layton Hopper and Seth Reeves lost all three of their matches, including a 6-2, 7-5 loss to Washington’s Matt Pancake and Tyler Still Thursday. Like the varsity, the Mount Vernon reserves had a 2-1 week, beating Washington 3-1 on Thursday.

On Wednesday night, the Cats came back a little bit, beating Day School 3-2 at TriState Athletic Club. Mount Vernon’s top two singles players did their thing, but one of the doubles spots provided Mount Vernon with the winning combination, as Crabtree and Hunter took down the Eagles’ Ty Bohls and Andrew Beck 6-1, 6-3 at second doubles. That win combined with Redman (6-1, 6-0 over Lucas Hodge at first singles) and Canada (6-2, 6-2 over Matt Dickerson at second singles) to put Mount Vernon over the top. Sheffer put up a fight at third singles before losing to Casey Phillips 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, while Will Hodge and Augie Folz were 7-5, 6-3 winners over Hopper and Reeves at first doubles. The Wildcat reserves posted a 2-0 decision over Day School. Redman put up a battle at first singles, but it wasn’t enough as the Cats dropped a 5-0 decision to visiting Jasper Tuesday night. Eli Seng needed three sets and was pushed to limit most of the time before dispatching the Mount Vernon first singles player 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Sheffer was also close at third singles, but dropped a 6-4, 6-4 decision to Brandt Weaver, while Canada fell to Noah Moss 6-2, 6-0 at second singles. At doubles, Hopper and Reeves lost 6-3, 6-1, while Crabtree and Wilson came up short 6-3, 6-1 at second doubles. Hopper and Reeves just ran into stronger competition, the coach said, adding that there is sometimes a difference in the talent levels between first and second doubles. The Jasper reserves took their meet 3-0. The Cats raised their dual meet record to 10-3 after last week.

Vikings get a win over Pike Central, but fall to Boonville By Steve Joos A “w” is a “w”, or so the old adage goes, with a “w” meaning a win. The North Posey boys soccer team got a “w” Thursday night. Kyle Swope (of course) scored two goals in the second half as the Vikings pulled away defensively for a 3-0 win over visiting Pike Central and a split of their games for this week. “We can play a lot better,” coach Andy Hines said. “We’re ﬁghting through a lot of emotional things on our team right now. We started a lot our kids, our sophomores and freshmen, for the ﬁrst 20 minutes to set an example. I think we can play better altogether as a team, but a win’s a win.” Swope played a big role in salting away that win, scoring two quick goals midway

through the second half to stretch a 1-0 halftime lead. “When Kyle is passing the ball well and shooting the ball well,” the coach said. “It’s a good day for us.” Swope is the team’s leading scorer with 10 goals so far this season, along with a number of assists, but it was Alex Kelley who got the team off and running, connecting with 5:30 to go in the ﬁrst half to break a scoreless tie. Then, in the second half, Swope started doing his thing, knocking one in with 24:07 left to open a 2-0 Viking lead and then nailing another shot about 90 seconds later for North posey ‘s last goal of the day. “Defensively, we had a pretty young freshman line,” Hines explained. “Shawn (Burks) stepped in the center back and did

a good job for us. He held his own in the center-back.” Burks was ﬁlling in for senior Nathan Embrey, who missed school and did not play against the Chargers. The win gave the Vikings a split of their games for the early part of the week. Blake Cobb scored two goals Tuesday night as Boonville blanked the visiting Vikings 3-0. Kyle Washburn scored the other goal and added an assist for the Pioneers. “I think we played as a team (against Pike Central),” Hines said. “We still have a lot to learn, we still have some open space where we could switch the ball up.” The Vikings were the better team when they played as a team, Hines said, adding that the Vikings missed three scoring opportunities in the ﬁrst half on a missed penalty

kick and a pair of unsuccessful one-on-one shots, but then they were playing as individuals. “We should have only one loss,” Hines said. “We have a decent senior class, but leadership-wise, sometimes has been a problem where we get in a habit of trying to do things on our own. We want to emphasize winning as a team and playing as a team.” The win over Pike Central was North Posey’s ﬁrst in the Pocket Athletic Conference. They have lost to Gibson Southern, South Spencer 3-2, and Forest Park 4-1. Swope scored the Vikings’ lone goal at Ferdinand, in another game where Hines said they plagued better in the second half, even outplaying the Rangers. The Vikings took a 5-4 record into Saturday’s game with Washington Catholic.

North Posey High School student establishes 9/11 Facebook memorial By Dave Pearce A Facebook page created by a North Posey High School student has created quite a stir in the Facebook world. North Posey’s Richard Karns created the Facebook Page back in January of 2010 to honor the memory of those who lost their lives in the events of Sept. 11, 2001. With the tenth anniversary of the event, the page had become one of the more popular pages on the social networking site. “There wasn’t an up-to-date nice page out there so I decided to go ahead and make one and try it out,” Karns explained. “I put a little information and some pictures on there and in a couple of days it got a few hundred

friends so I decided to give it a couple more days.” Not even Karns expected what has happened with the page. “It started getting into the thousands and so I thought ‘maybe this is something I should stick with’,” Karns explained. “After a couple of months, we got up to 10 or 20 thousand and here we are now with over 350,000.” Karns said his page is partnered with other organizations to help provide honor and support for not only those who lost their lives but for their families. “We help sell their non-profit items so they get 100 percent of all the proceeds,”

Karns explained. “The money goes to organizations who help families of firefighters and first responders who lost their lives on that day.” Karns, who is also a first responder, realizes the important sacrifice of the 343 responders and firefighters who lost their lives on that dreaded day ten years ago. “Another reason I did it was to get information out there for people to remember why we are still at war and why this nation is what it is,” Karns explained. But Karns said one of the primary reasons he made the page was to learn. “I was too young to comprehend when it happened,” Karns said. “But once I learned

and got older, these firefighters and other heroes went up into these buildings knowing they probably were not going to come out. It is really astonishing that they had total disregard for their own safety. All they wanted to do was get people out of the building.” So despite the fact that Sept. 11 came and went on Sunday, Karns said he and the page staff plan to continue the page. “We have a determined and trustworthy staff,” Karns said. “We will be doing this for a long time to come.” A link to the Never Forget 9/11 is on the Posey County News Facebook page or you may go directly to the page at http://www. facebook.com/NeverForget911.

Keeping things beautiful is at Maynard family heart Keeping Mount Vernon beautiful is personal for Street Commissioner Roy Maynard. A Mount Vernon native, he wants Smile City to sparkle. Appointed to his position when Mayor John Tucker took office in January 2008, Maynard is quick, though, to share any accolades with his street department team, especially Assistant Street Commissioner Jamie Miller, a 22-year employee with the city. “He’s been very helpful,” Maynard comments. “There’s no way I could have just walked in here and taken over and have expected things to go smoothly. I can’t thank him enough for what he’s done.” Residents have

noted the street department’s attention to providing barricades and trash collection during such important city events as River Days. During the festival this past weekend, for example, the department brought in extra trash barrels and collected trash twice a day. A former supervisor with the Indiana Department of Transportation, Maynard has also worked hard to put as much money as possible into repairing and keeping up city streets— no small feat with the current high cost of asphalt. In addition, he has addressed the city’s storm water problems with several projects, including the grant-funded project to correct storm water problems at and near

West Elementary School. He and his wife Winter, a graduate of North Posey High School from Oliver, are celebrating eight years of marriage. They have two young sons, Andrew (4) and Elijah (18 months). The couple met at Harvestime Temple, their church home still today. The 42-year-old Maynard has been a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan since his youth, explaining that he didn’t switch his loyalty when the Colts moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis. Other pastimes include deer hunting with the occasional hunt for squirrel and rabbit to add variety. He also enjoys the annual vegetable garden he grows at his mom’s place on the outskirts of town.

NEW HARMONIE HEALTHCARE OUTPATIENT THERAPY FOR ALL AGES! Jeff attended Physical Therapy three times a week for rehab after hip replacement surgery. He began on a rolling walker and was having some slight pain. During three weeks in outpatient therapy, he progressed JEFF KOESTER to a straight cane and had very little pain. Jeff was given a strengthening program to continue at home including standing exercises. Jeff made very good progress and was able to return to his some of his daily activities quickly. He chose New Harmonie Healthcare for his rehab needs not only for convenient location, but also for the high quality care and compassion provided by the facility and rehab staff. “I could not have asked for more professional and encouraging care from the entire PT and New Harmonie Healthcare Staff especially my Physical Therapist Megan Bretz”
