By Dave Pearce When the Aventine Ethanol production plant goes on line in late September, not everyone in Posey County will be thrilled.

While most (if not all) are happy to have the additional 55 jobs the plant will bring to the county, many will be sorry to see the 290 to 300 construction workers at the plant leave their community.

A new Chinese restaurant has gotten a healthy start due to its proximity to the worksite. Other established restaurants and grocers will also miss the workers, as will the two Mount Vernon motels who have housed many of the workers

who have been on the project for the past few months. Local businesses and suppliers have felt the positive effects of the project at a time when the economy was not so bright.

“I’m anxious to get the reports and see what effect the workers have had on the local sales tax revenue,” See said. “I will go out on a limb and say that I believe we are going to see a pretty large increase in sales taxes in this area in the time these workers have been here.”

But Site Supt. Jeff See indicated on Wednesday morning the water tanks at the site are now filled with Mount Vernon City Water and the

first 35 workers (Under Phase One) have been hired and are already in training on-site. They will have six to eight weeks of training. Phase Two of the plan calls for the doubling of the plant’s capacity. But according to See, current market conditions could mean that the next phase of the plant could be quite a ways down the road.

“Gasoline has decreased and oil is lower than it was back in 2007,” See said. “Right now there’s a 10 percent wall on the blend content of ethanol. We’re hoping that we can get a favorable EPA ruling sometime in 2011, so we can see that number go up to 12 or maybe even

The Mount Vernon High School Class of 1961 will meet on Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. in the fellowship hall of the First Presbyterian Church of Mount Vernon, 120 E. Sixth Street to plan the 50th Reunion.

Please contact one of the following classmates if you have any questions: Ruth (Jeffries) Fosse at 812-422-5609, Diane (Feldbusch) Heberer at 812-838-0154, or Sondra (Naab) McNamara at 812-838-4020.

Annexation also becomes an issue

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon School Board renewed the district’s group insurance plans for the 2010-11 plan year at the Tuesday, September 7, meeting. Director of Business and Technology, Loren Evans, brought the news of a rate increase for both health and dental insurance. The increase will mean finding another $25,000 in the General Fund since

By Valerie Werkmeister A shortfall in ambulance coverage has raised the ire of members of the Poseyville Town Council. During their regular meeting Wednesday, September 8, council member, Ron Fallowfield, voiced his concerns about the current time coverage Poseyville and other northen Posey County communities are slated.

Fallowfield explained that every week, Poseyville is left without an ambulance for two, 24-hour shifts and one, eight-hour shift. During that time, the ambulance is at Marrs Elementary. Posey County has a total of three ambulances that service the entire county. One ambulance stays in the south end covering Mount Vernon. The other ambulance is in New Harmony, which leaves the third to split time between Marrs and Poseyville.

Fallowfield recently expressed his concerns to the Posey County Commissioners. He stated he received an e-mail noting the commissioners are pleased with the current set-up and do not plan to make any changes.

“Marrs is seven miles from Evansville. We, at the north end, are the furthest from the hospital. When someone is in need of an ambulance here, we have to wait 20-23 minutes for them to come from Marrs and then there’s another 20-25 minute drive to the closest hospital in Evansville,” Fallowfield said.

Poseyville Town Council President Bruce Baker shared his sentiments.

“We, the members of the Poseyville Town Council, want better service for Poseyville and the surrounding area. We are just asking that they do something better,” Baker said.

Julie Mayo announced that gas rates decreased 22 percent. The new rate will be effective for the consumption months of August, September and October. In addition to this month’s bill, Poseyville utility patrons will receive letters regarding the upcoming leaf removal.

Residents should rake leaves to street curbs and not directly into the street. Anyone caught violating this request may face a fine.

The Utility Department will have a booth set-up at the Autumnfest.

Mayo stated that people are encouraged to stop by after Sunday’s parade to register for a chance to win a Feed Mill gift certificate.

Preliminary plans are already underway for the Safe Routes to School program. The council learned last month that they had been awarded $150,000 in grant money to construct sidewalks, a marked school zone and install flashing lights.

High School Road may get attention

By Dave Pearce Anyone who has traveled High School Road at North Posey High School is aware that the road is unsafe. Little to no shoulder in places on an already-narrow road does and should cause concern for parents and students alike who travel the road regularly. Accidents on the stretch have gotten the attention of the Posey County Commissioners.

Steve Schenk, over Posey County’s roads, has asked the commissioners to look into getting financial help to solve the problem. The first step to getting some sort of funding

through the Local Technical Assistance Program is a Road Safety Audit. The audit was performed on August 24 and to no one’s surprise, the road was found to have plenty of room for improvements.

Findings included the need for: 1. Pavement markings are worn beyond visible.

2. School zone speed reductions.

3. Stop signs in appropriate places.

Other things were cited as well.

Shoulder improvements should be

Mount Vernon looks for truancy solution

By Pam Robinson While the Mount Vernon school board continues to look for ways to use monies efficiently, the district felt even more effects of state funding cuts recently.

MSD Mount Vernon School Supt. Tom Kopatich noted the district no longer has an attendance officer.

Those responsibilities have been added to the load for assistant principals and school social workers. He is hopeful Check and Connect will help with lower the district’s 6 percent dropout rate since 2 to 3 percent of that rate is attributed to truancy.

The board approved a new program, Check and Connect, for the Mount Vernon High School during this week’s meeting.. Check and Connect will be started in collaboration with the federally funded Safe Schools Healthy Students program as well as the Mount Vernon Police Department, or MVPD, and will address school attendance issues. Captain Dana Allyn of the MVPD and a social work intern at the University of Southern

Indiana will serve in the role of attendance monitor.

No General Fund monies will be used since the Safe Schools Healthy Students initiative is providing reimbursement up to $5,000 to the Mount Vernon Police Department for Allyn’s on-duty time.

Kopatich expects Allyn to work with 15 to 20 students and their families.

Likewise, the board applauded Sheila Stewart after her announcement that church leaders and community organizations, including Youth Emergency Services, or YES, the YMCA and Big Brothers Big Sisters, will open a family resource center for at-risk students and their families. Volunteers will meet with students at the Alexandrian Public Library every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stewart said the center will provide tutoring and counseling services. Kopatich encouraged Stewart to contact Dr. Cynthia Smith, the Director of the Safe Schools Healthy Students program, and offered his help if needed.

Schools feel Unidentified man jumps from bridge more ripples

By Dave Pearce The name had not been reOn Monday morning, Sept. leased at press time, however, 13, 2010, emergency personnel a check of the Indiana Vander- from state cuts from Posey County responded to a call at the Wabash River Bridge in New Harmony. Reportedly, an unknown subject had parked his car on the bridge and had jumped off the bridge.

According to a Posey County Sheriff’s Deputy at the scene, local ambulance personnel had arrived prior to law enforcement and the man had swam to shore and had been taken to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville.

Aventine, from Page 1A

Members of the New Harmony community came together on Sunday afternoon at the Granary to honor outgoing St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church Pastor Martha Honaker as she will be leaving the New harmony Church soon. She plans to return to the hills of North Carolina. Here she talks with Wayne and Terri Hall.

was in an idle state for so long,” See said of Aventine’s Mount Vernon site. “We’re in the conditioning start-up phase of the plant and we are starting up motors that drive the process to ensure that they will start from the computer. The computer sends a start signal to the motor to make sure it will start and we have to check it for proper rotation as we hook it up to whatever it is supposed to drive. It is a very important part of the program and it is working very well so far.”

The original schedule called for Aventine to start-up last week under See’s post-bankruptcy guidance. However, the start-up date was pushed up to October 25 and it appears that things will be right on schedule. Vectren has now energized the substation and there is permanent power into the plant.

“The original drive for that Sept. 7 startup was for an EPA Environmental regulation that since we have started back up with construction, they have re-issued that to give us the time they claim they mean us to have by the original regulation,” See explained.

See said that early numbers on local corn production have been a little lower than the company had hoped for with the drought bringing average yields back down to the 150 bushels-per-acre vicinity.

“We’ve noticed that our neighbors (namely Consolidated Grain and Barge) are beginning to stockpile corn outside and I am assuming that is for us,” See said.

The target date for the total completion of the Mount Vernon plant is November 17. The road lighting and other things that are not necessities for plant operation can be completed between the start-up and the Nov. 17 completion target.

Once the plant is complete and up and running, company officials will be required to appear before Posey County officials to make sure they have done everything required to qualify for the abatements which lured the plant to Mount Vernon.

“We are actively working on that. We met with the county council last month and plan to meet with them again this month,” See said. “We are in the process of meeting the requirements as someone from the assessor’s office will be out here next week to go through and assess the value of our property. The assessment must be done prior to the actual approval of the abatement. We have hired the majority of our employees locally and we’ve tried to do all the things they have asked us to do so I am confident.

It is the right thing and critical for our balance sheet going forward.”

Presenting a check to the Posey County Humane Society on behalf of the companies that have been involved with the completion of the Aventine plant on Mount Vernon’s east side are project manager Jeff See, Sheila Duncan, Chad Warner, Jane Blacfkledge, Sarah Apple, and Ryan Nader.

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

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

•

• •

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

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

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

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

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

Mount Vernon Riverfront project is a go

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety approved the contract with Bernardin Lochmueller and Associates, or BLA, for Phase 2, survey and design, of the riverfront development project at the Thursday, September 9, meeting. The vote authorizes Mayor John Tucker and Clerk-Treasurer Cristi SItzman to sign off on the contract.

BLA representative Judy Dicus Thomann explained the contract covers the design phase for the silo area and down to the river next to Sherburne Park. She pointed out some of the features included in the design: an interactive water area, lookout point, trail heads and an amphitheatre with utilities.

She stated the project will cross Water Street into Main Street.

Thomann commended the city on the project, funded through an 80/20 matching grant in the amount of $900,000 awarded by the Indiana Department of Trans-

portation, or INDOT. Mayor Tucker emphasized that no property tax dollars will be used for this project; instead, the money will come from others areas such as the economic development income tax, or EDIT, State Gaming Fund and Rainy Day Fund.

Tucker noted that BLA was the engineer for Phase 1 of the riverfront development project, recently completed ahead of schedule and under budget.

In other business: •Once again, David Wiginton of 530 W. Second St. appeared before the board seeking redress for damages resulting from the city police breaking in his front door early this year after someone reportedly called 911 about an overdose and gave his address. Wiginton stated he believes the city has an ethical, if not a legal, responsibility to pay for the damages.

The city insurance carrier has denied Wiginton’s claim and suggested he might file a claim with his homeowner’s insurance or seek damages

from the person placing the 911 call. Mayor Tucker suggested also that Wiginton might file in small claims court. So far, Wiginton has refused any of these alternatives. He said he would be at the Monday, September 13, meeting of the Mount Vernon City Council and at the next Board of Works meeting as well.

•The board approved a request to waive a weed notice for billing at 907 E. Fifth Street, property owned by Andrei Sharygin.

•The board declared surplus old gloves and coats at the fire department and agreed they could now be donated to the Posey County Drug Task Force.

•The board approved the use of the city vehicle and credit card for Danny Moss of the wastewater and sewer department to attend a recertification class on October 7.

•Mayor Tucker extended sympathies to Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Givens and his family on the loss of his father, former Waste-

water Superintendent Carlton “Tiny” Waller, noted as a great public servant and city employee.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again on Thursday, September 23, 2010, at 4 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.

Sermon of the week: Old Arkansas farmers advice

By Pastor Matt Watson, Mount Vernon General Baptist Church

I am from Arkansas. And no, that’s not a start to a joke!

I was born in Arkansas and

have found that state to be filled with common sense wisdom—wisdom rooted in Judeo-Christian ethic of the Bible. Thomas Paine once said: ‘common sense is not so common.’ A friend emailed me this article a few months ago. Perhaps we can all profit from these sayings?

• When you wallow with the pigs, expect to get dirty.

• Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

• A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

• Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.

• It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.

• Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.

• Don’t judge folks by their

relatives.

• Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

• If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’!

• Always drink upstream from the herd.

• If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around • Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he’s too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

The Jewish fathers in the faith made famous the art of commentary on the Scripture.

Midrash was a way of interpreting biblical stories that go beyond simple distillation of religious, legal or moral teachings. Midrash fills the gap left in events and person-

alities that are only hinted at.

Consider the following a sort of reverse midrash. In order, here are some biblical phrases that illuminate this “Old Arkansas Farmers Advice.”

• “Do not be misled, ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” 1 Cor. 15:33 • “(Do not) promote controversies rather than God’s work—which is by faith.”

1 Ti 1:4 • “The sting of death is sin… but… He gives us the victory through… Jesus.” 1 Cor. 15: 56-7 • “Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” Eph. 4:26 • “In your anger do not sin.”

Eph. 4:26 • “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Matt. 6:27

• “Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him(!)”

Ge. 4:8 • “Be still and know that (the LORD) is God.” Ps. 46:10 • “We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin.” 1 Jn 5:18 • “the water (Jesus) give(s)… will become in him a spring… to eternal life.” John 4:14 • “(Jesus) did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life... for many.”

Matt. 20:28 • “Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave… and consulted the young men.” 1 Ki 4:8 I hope you will open yourself up to learn from people from all different walks of life. Wisdom, if it proves to be wisdom at all, can be tracked back to the original wise guy.

I hope you will learn from the sages of the ages whether the carrier is “An Old Arkansas Farmer” or someone else.

Wisdom is wisdom. And it takes wisdom to apply wisdom. So get wise in God’s Word and you will be better equipped with the wisdom it will take to apply the wisdom you hear day-by-day.

If you don’t have a local church to call home, we welcome you any Sunday at 10:30 am. To learn more go to www.mvgb.org.

The County Cookbook Selection by Zach Straw

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

INGREDIENTS • 1 (3 pound) fryer (Not broilers or roasting bird), cut into pieces • 2 cups buttermilk • 1 large onion, sliced • 1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, thyme) or a teaspoon each of the dried herbs.

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 2 cups flour • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper • Salt and pepper • 2 cups grapeseed oil, or other high smoke-point oil such as canola oil, or peanut oil DIRECTIONS 1. Soak chicken overnight (at least 8 hours and up to two days) in buttermilk with onions, herbs, paprika, and cayenne pepper. (Regarding the use of buttermilk, there have been good results from soaking chicken in plain yogurt instead of buttermilk.)

2. Drain in colander, leaving some herbs on chicken. In a large paper or plastic (sturdy) bag, mix flour with seasonings. Meanwhile, heat 2 cups oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron, stainless steel, or anodized aluminum - something that can take the heat) on medium high heat until a pinch of flour starts to sizzle when dropped in the hot oil (but not so hot that the pan is smoking). Remember when working with hot oil, always have a pan lid close by.

3. Place chicken pieces in bag with flour and shake until thoroughly coated. Add chicken to hot pan and fry on 1 side for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown, and then use tongs to turn the pieces over and fry for another 10-12 minutes, again until golden brown. Be careful to keep the oil hot enough to fry the chicken, but not so high as it burns the chicken. To do this on our electric stove we have to alternate the settings between high to medium high several times while we are cooking.

4. Use tongs to remove chicken from pan. Place on a rack over a cookie sheet or broiling pan for the excess oil to drain. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

Out n’ About Due to not feeling well last Sunday, I did not get the Out ‘N About written so we will try this week. We are glad to see a little cooler weather after the hot days in July, August, and some in September. It is very dry.

Do you know much about Indiana which, I call Southern Indiana “the garden spot of the country.” Indiana is 270 miles long and 140 miles wide. The geographic center of Indiana is located in Marion County, 14 miles North of Indianapolis.

Indiana is bordered by Lake Michigan and Michigan in the North, Kentucky in the South, on the East side is Ohio, and Illinois is on the West. Indiana covers 36,420 square miles making it the 38th largest of the 50 states. 35,870 square miles is covered by land and 550 square miles is covered by water. The highest point in Indiana is Hoosier Hill in Franklin Township, it is 12,057 feet above sea level.

The lowest point is 320 feet above sea level where the Wabash and the Ohio Rivers meet near Mt. Vernon. The region of the state with the most hills is in Southern Indiana.

Elsewhere in the past three weeks, Tuesday August 24, my nephew and niece Dick and Pat Brandenstein from Winchester, TN, were here to visit. They had been to California to their son AJ’s wedding, which they said was very nice. We had a great time visiting together and while they were here they treated me to dinner with them at Patty’s (Harold’s) Restaurant. They always enjoy the delicious food at Patty’s.

August 25, Betty and Bonnie from Mt. Vernon were here to visit, to do the laundry, and to mow. Ronnie and Beverly Ellis stopped by to visit on this same day. I always enjoy them too. August 26, my cousin from Metropolis, IL Bessie Helm called me to tell me her husband Floyd had just got home from the hospital after surgery. He is gradually improving.

Expert reveals how eating the wrong fruits can be worse than eating none at all.

An apple a day just doesn’t cut it anymore, and too many apples could make you fat.

That’s the advice of Iva Young, a nutritional expert who warns that the wrong kinds of fruits can actually do more harm than good.

So, which fruits offer the biggest health boost? Young named the following fruits, all of which are comparatively low in sugar, as her top five: Raspberries - Raspberries are an excellent source of fiber, offering 30 percent of our recommended daily value, 8 grams per serving. Raspberries are also a rich source of vitamin C, with about 50 percent of our daily value. In addition, they are a rich source of manganese, delivering 60 percent of what we should have each day. Raspberries rank near the top of all fruits for antioxidant strength and contain many anti-disease properties if consumed regularly, helping to fight against inflammation, chronic pain, cancer, cardiovascular disease,

diabetes, allergies, age-related cognitive decline and eyesight degeneration associated with aging.

Blackberries - Blackberries are notable for their high nutritional contents of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid, and manganese.

Blackberries are well-ranked for having strong antioxidant levels, and they also contain copious amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Kiwi - Kiwi is a rich source of vitamin C and vitamin K, which is a natural blood thinner. It’s also a good source of potassium, just slightly less than that of a banana. Potassium is one of those nutrients that’s absolutely essential for heart health, yet many people don’t get nearly enough. Kiwi also delivers a mild laxative effect, possibly because of the high level of dietary fiber.

Strawberries - Strawberries are low in calories compared to many other fruits, and are a good source of fiber. They are also an excellent source of vitamin C and flavonoids, promoting lots of antioxidant activity in the body.

Oranges - Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin A and C, along with powerful antioxidants. Oranges also provide a good source of fiber when the pulp is consumed.

The white pith of the orange also contains flavonoids, and some doctors are even using extracts from the pith to help fight certain types of cancer.

“Sugar is also something that you should keep your eye on, because it affects the health of your teeth and the functioning of your hormones, specifically leptin,” she added.

“Leptin is the important hormone responsible for telling the body that you should stop eating. With excess amounts of sugar in your body, the amount of leptin is diminished, which causes you to overeat. Excess sugar also has been known to cause intestinal issues increasing the chances of bloating, which causes your stomach to stick out and look like you have extra fat. That’s how consuming too many sugarrich fruits can actually make you look fat, and make you feel less healthy than if you didn’t eat any fruits at all.”

Wednesday, September 8, at about 8:45am I saw the fire truck, ambulance, and police car at my neighbor Tom Cook’s home. Mrs. Cook fell while going out her front door.

She fell on her face and was taken to the hospital. We are hoping for a quick and complete recovery. Billy was here for a short time. Also on Wednesday, Steve Butler was here to visit.

Thursday was a nice day and I rode my bicycle for a short time. The lack of energy kept me from riding further.

Later in the afternoon, Betty and Jesse Montgomery were here to visit. Friday I talked to Janet in Oklahoma for awhile.

She said they have had rain there.

Saturday, September 11, which is the 9th anniversary of the terrible terrorist attack at the twin towers where 3,800 innocent people lost their lives.

We pray nothing like that will ever happen again. Thank you to our armed forces for all of the service you do. Also, thank you to our fire fighters and police men who protect us.

This day was also River Days in Mt. Vernon. I enjoyed

seeing so many friends. At 5:30 was the parade which was nice. I also stayed for the fireworks at 8:00pm at the river front. It was also very good. I drove back home after the fireworks at 8:30. I slept well after the tiresome day. Sunday morning I was at church at Poseyville Christian. The attendance was low, but we had a great service with Rev. Doris’s sermon and Stay Arhen’s scripture reading and prayer, and the choir lead

by Justin Schulmpf with Janie Montgomery at the piano. If you are looking for a place to worship, I urge you to come to Poseyville Christian where you are always welcome.

Remember, the family that prays together stays together.

They are always glad to have visitors. Verlin Effinger had just been taken to the hospital but is back there now and according to his brother, Tom he is doing better now. We have been friends for many years.

After leaving the nursing home, I went on to Bonnie and Jim Straw’s home in Mt. Vernon where several of our families had dinner together.

Then, Saturday, Betty, Bonnie, and Jim were here to go to the Poseyville town yard sale and to visit me. Zachary and Audra were here later to visit. Later in the afternoon, I went to Owensville to visit my sister-in-law Lorena Wilder. My daughter Janet called me on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. She is always good to check on me.

Bonnie called me Wednesday, September 1 and Janet also called me. Then Janet called me September 2 to tell me that Donavon and their son David Fravel were visiting them. Saturday, September 4, I went to Owensville to visit Lorena and while there, Daryl Wayne, Cathy, Stephanie, and their daughter and son-in-law and their 20 month old son came from Nobelsville to visit Lorena. Lorena’s daughter Janavieve was there also. We all had a great visit together.

Both Janet and Judy called me on this day. All four of my daughters called me Monday, September 6.

My cousin, Sue Albin from Evansville came to Poseyville cemetery to decorate her father’s (Woodrow Roberts) grave and then came to my house for a nice visit. Then, Tuesday, Janet, Bonnie, and Judy all called me and Judy and Betty came here in the evening and we went to the Feed Mill Restaurant for the evening meal, which was delicious. As we rode around the country side we noticed the beautiful view in the sky just after the sun set. I also got a letter from a friend, Mary John Reid from Duncan, OK. She writes a very interesting letter.

St. Philip Burgoo coming September 26 It’s time to round up the kettles.

Every year near harvest time, the members of the St. Philip Men’s Club gather to prepare and sell their famous burgoo. This year’s sale is Sept. 26, and the reputation of the soupy concoction has spread far and wide.

Burgoo has been simmering annually at St. Philip for 50 years or so. It’s been the primary fund-raiser of the Men’s Club since 1958; before then, it was cooked at the church’s annual summer social.

The church’s men’s club owns a 750 gallon kettle but 20 more kettles are needed to cook the 1200+ gallons of burgoo the club dishes out each year. Farmers used to loan the kettles they used for rendering lard and cooking liver sausage. Now the Men’s Club have all their own kettles which were purchased at various times.

St. Philip’s burgoo (either BUR-go or bur-GOO, depending on who is talking) is composed of chicken and beef, carrots, potatoes, onions, cabbage, tomato juice, canned corn, navy beans, butter beans, pepper, salt, sugar and allspice. This list of ingredients is as much as Ron Folz will divulge.

The exact seasoning and amount of ingredients is secret and Jeff Wildeman is the only person allowed to measure the spices and place them in cloth bags to season the burgoo.

The secret to making good burgoo is making it good.

That’s all I’m allowed to tell you,” Wildeman said.

One thing he will say is that the burgoo tastes the same every year, unlike burgoo made during frontier times, when every meat and vegetable available was thrown into the pot. “We don’t change a thing,” he said.

Most of the meat and vegetables are bought now, whereas years ago parishioners donated most of the chicken, beef and vegetables.

Each year preparations begin on Friday evening. The meat is stewed and the vegetables are washed, peeled and ground. The guys work through the night. Early Saturday morning volunteers set up all the kettles and clean them, take the chicken off the bones and grind it and the stewed beef. They then carefully parcel the ingredients to be added to each of the 21 kettles lined up in the back of the church.

The actual cooking begins around 11 p.m. after the meat and vegetables have been added along with the cloth bags containing the spices and the secret ingredient. Burgoo veterans have their jobs down pat. Some grind cabbage and vegetables, some stew the meats and others run the automatic potato peeler.

The large kettle is equipped with an automatic stirring device, but it’s an all night vigil with the smaller kettles. It isn’t difficult finding volunteers because the event has turned into a social affair. There is no discrimination----teenagers, children and friends of club members offer their assistance. The volunteers stir until early Sunday morning when

Folz pronounces the burgoo ready for sale.

The burgoo sells fast and is usually gone before noon except for the soup that is held back to be sold in the cafeteria. The Men’s Club would like to make more but they can handle making only so much.

Dan Horstman, publicity chairman for the club, says that this is the sort of project that builds relationships and fellowship and brings about a spirit of cooperation and working together. St. Philip is a close-knit parish with hard working members.

The response to the burgoo has been great with people coming from Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee and other places to get the famous St. Philip Burgoo.

To sweeten the day, a raffle will climax the event at 1:30 p.m. The grand prize of $20,000 and 20 other prizes will be given away. The tickets are $20 donation for each ticket with only 3,000 tickets being sold. You need not be present to win. (License# 119376) - The sale of burgoo begins at 7:30 a.m. Drive thru and carry-out patrons should bring their own containers or one can be purchased for a small fee.

A lunch of burgoo, hamburgers, pie and drinks is sold in the St. Philip Center during the sale of burgoo outside.

Volunteers help in the dining room, too.

Philip is located 6 miles west of Evansville on St. Philip Road.

County, from Page 1A part of a larger project and there are sight distance issues.

There is currently a lack of driver education. The firm indicated that they have already talked to school officials regarding the possibility of flagmen to facilitate the flow of traffic at peak times.

Schenk told commissioners that it would take about $40,000 to begin to correct the problem and the grant for which the county would apply is a 10 percent matching grant.

Commissioners gave their OK to begin the grant application with the county providing the 10 percent match. Schenk pointed out that the grant is a competitive grant and there are no assurances that the funds will be granted but this is the first step in the right direction.

While one road is getting individual attention, it was announced that the State has indicated that it will be eliminating the jobs at the toll booth on Indiana Route 62 at the bridge crossing into Illinois. The workers will be replaced by an unmanned toll booth. The change will begin on Sept. 21 at 9 a.m. with no remaining employees after the first of the year.

In other business: •After opening five bids for the replacement of bridge RN23 on Pfeiffer Road in Posey County, the work was awarded to Ragle Construction, located in Newburgh, for a total bid of $499,900. Bids were also submitted by Mount Vernon’s Russell Excavating ($514,000), as well as D.K. Parker of New Harmony ($535,000), Blankenberger Bros. ($545,000) and CLR of Vincennes ($592,805).

•The proposal for painting in the Posey County Recorder’s Office was awarded to J.A.M. Painting at a cost of $2,250.

The work will be done after hours as a conveniece to workers and the public.

•Schenk announced that chipping and sealing is still going on around the county and that the repaving of Darnell School Road has been completed. Schenk noted that the public should be aware that the cost of paving is $81,000 per mile.

•The Commissioners agreed to sell the old ambulance recently taken out of service for $5000 to St. Mary’s Surgery Center.

•The commissioners announced the planned retirement of long-time employee Elizabeth Cox. A reception was held Friday at the office. Sept. 10 was the last day for Cox who has worked in the office for more than 25 years.

•A report was given of the animal control officer. In the month of August, 48 complaints were received with 10 animals picked up, one bite, none euthanized, and no rabies tests.

Rachel Wheaton becomes member of NSCS Rachel Wheaton of Mount Vernon, Indiana has accepted membership in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS). Rachel will be honored during an Induction Convocation this fall on the campus of DePauw University.

“NSCS is more than just a symbol of academic achievement. Membership gives students access to a number of amazing benefits including career and networking resources, scholarships, travel and service projects both on campus and in the

community,” says Stephen E. Loflin, NSCS executive director.

NSCS is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and is the nation’s only interdisciplinary honors organization for first and second year college students. Membership is by invitation only, based on grade point average and class standing. NSCS has more than 750,000 lifetime members and 270 chapters in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Back row: Mrs. McDonald looking to her left - Darra Brown, Malia Crawford, and Madison Cox.

School, from Page 1A it was not budgeted. For a single health plan, the district’s premium costs will rise from $344 a month to $374, just below the monthly insurance cap of $375. Evans noted that in spite of the rate increase, premiums are still lower than they were five years ago.

School Board hopeful Kim Jackson questioned if this increase meant a raise for the district’s educators. Evans explained that teachers were still honoring their one-half percent pay decrease and would see an increase in premiums as well under the approved plans. Only those employees enrolling in the single base health plan will be completely covered by the school district. Teachers with a family base health plan will be paying an additional $75 per month for the plan beginning October 1.

The particulars of the insurance plans follow. In the second year of a three-year contract, Welborn Health Plans will provide health insurance at a 7.91 percent increase in premium with revised plan benefits. Those revisions include an approximately $5 increase in copay for doctor’s office visits and prescriptions. Evans noted the increase saved employees more than 2 percent in even higher premiums.

Additional revisions comply with the national healthcare reform: no lifetime maximum of benefits and the coverage of dependents until age 26.

Dental insurance will continue with HRI Dental on a oneyear renewable contract with a 6 percent increase in premium. Again, Evans pointed out in spite of the increase, insurance premiums remain lower than they were a few years ago.

There was no increase in premium for life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance and in long-term disability insurance.

Employees may still opt to “buy up” from a $500 to a $100 deductible and to receive family coverage, but they will pick up the increase in costs. The school district’s insurance committee recommended the insurance plans be adopted. That committee, Evans said, is composed of representatives from all employee groups, certified and non-certified—for example, teachers and teacher’s aides, secretaries and administration, retirees and bus drivers.

Evans underscored that the state insurance plan has been reviewed for the past several years, but it is much higher than plans adopted—this year, over 60 percent higher—and offers lesser benefits.

In other business: •The board held public hearing regarding the Capital Projects Fund Plan and the Bus Replacement Plan. No public comments were forthcoming. The plans will be adopted at the Monday, September 20, school board meeting.

•The board approved payment of vouchers by the Mount Vernon of Posey County Multi-School Building Corporation in the amount of $22,538.20. Kopatich noted the vouchers covered sidewalks at Farmersville and West, a drain at West and light sensors at Farmersville and West.

•The board adopted a resolution for the use of the Capital Projects Fund emergency allocation to cover additional costs in the amount of $6,000 for repair to the Mount Vernon Junior High School chiller. It was noted that the chiller had far outlasted its warranty since it was the original placed in the junior high at its construction. As a result, insurance does not cover the repair.

•The board confirmed the employment of Curtis McCarty as a school district bus driver and of Deborah Claxton, Lori Holder and Jennifer Ritzert as cafeteria workers. In addition, the board accepted the resignation of Becky DeKemper for one-half sponsorship of the pom pom squad and of Donald Mercer as a school district bus driver—both effective immediately. Finally, under personnel items, the board granted a nonpaid leave of absence, commencing the afternoon of November 4 through December 31, 2010, to Sandy Stillwagoner at the junior high.

•The board granted permission to the Mount Vernon High School Jazz Band to perform at the rededication of the Imagination Station on Sunday, September 26, 2010, at the Alexandrian Public Library.

The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again Monday, September 20, 2010, at 5:45 p.m. in the junior high media center. At this meeting, patrons can learn official enrollment counts, receive a Farmersville roof update and hear about Spring ISTEP results.

Poseyville, from Page 1A Fallowfield stated the engineering should be completed by the end of the year with construction beginning in the spring and complete before the start of the next school year.

Fallowfield explained the route has not been finalized yet. The proposed plan is to construct a sidewalk at the school on the south side of Fletchall Street down to Sharp Street. From there, the sidewalk will be constructed on the east side of Sharp Street and continue south before ending near the railroad tracks. Flashing lights to mark the school zone will be installed at the intersections of Sharp and Fletchall Streets and also at Walker and Fletchall Streets. The speed in the school zone is 20 mph. A marked cross-walk will also be painted in front of the school on Fletchall St. Immediately following the regular meeting, a public hearing was held regarding the proposed annexation of the land at the north end of town where the Feed Mill and The First Bank of Carmi are located as well as two acres of land on Indiana Street owned

by Jeremy Schipp.

Representatives from both businesses attended the public hearing to voice their displeasure about the annexation.

Brent Tharp addressed the council first on behalf of the Feed Mill stating, “It’s a new property, it doesn’t have its feet on the ground yet. We would just like to ask if you could give us a little more time.” Tharp stated that it can take up to five years before most new restaurants begin to see a profit.

For the record, Baker clarified that if the annexation is approved, taxes will accrue in 2011 and be payable in May and November 2012.

Feed Mill owners Dave and Jane Reising also addressed the council. Jane questioned whether Poseyville benefitted from any of the sales tax the restaurant must pay. Baker answered that while the town did not benefit from sales tax, it does receive a small percentage of the local option income tax. Baker stated the county determines the amount each community receives on local option income tax is determined by population.

Poseyville receives $3,168 per month.

Jane also pointed out that the Feed Mill employs many local residents and the town benefits by having a nice social place for people to gather.

“I just feel a little disappointed that the town couldn’t have waited a little longer before doing this,” she said.

Dave echoed her sentiments adding, “I would like the town to reconsider annexation at this time.”

Jim McDonald spoke to the council on behalf of First Bank. He expressed his appreciation for how well the community has embraced the bank.

“We’ve spent a lot of money to improve the looks as people exit the interstate. I just want everyone to keep in mind the investment that has already been made when considering this annexation,” he said.

If the annexation is approved, the Feed Mill property alone will generate an estimated additional $4,867 annually. No figures were available for the First Bank or Schipp properties.

Baker stated the board will take all the information into advisement. No official decision will be made until the next meeting, Tuesday, October 12, at 4:30 p.m. at the Poseyville Community Center.

America celebrates United States Constitution

Lee Mourer, an officer of DAR, looks over the shoulder of Mount Vernon Mayor, John Tucker, as he signs the Proclamation for Constitution Week. Photo submitted Friday, September 17, 2010, begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The weeklong commemoration of America’s most important document

is one of our country’s least known official observances.

Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties

and freedom, and to ensure those unalienable rights to every American.

The tradition of celebratcelebrat ing the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week.

The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on August 2, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The aims of the celebration are to (1) emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of

life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of Septem the Constitution in September 1787.

The United States of America functions as a Republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world.

"We must remember and teach that those who wrote the Constitution believed that no government can create freedom, but that government must guard freedom rather than encroach upon

the freedoms of its people" stated Merry Ann T. Wright, President General of the DAR "The Constitution by DAR. itself cannot guarantee liberty. A nation’s people can remain free only by being responsible citizens who are willing to learn about the rights of each arm of government and require that each is accountable for its own function. Therefore, Constitution Week is the perfect opportunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties. We encourage all citizens across the country to take time this week to guard that which is committed to us by our forefathers... our freedom."

DAR has served America for 120 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a building

C as a memorial to the ConPo stitution. John Russell Pope, M architect of the Jefferson Memorial was commissioned commissio morial, to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Constitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is the only structure erected in tribute to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Known as the largest women’s patriotic organization in the world, DAR has over 165,000 members with approximately 3,000 chapters in all 50 states and 11 foreign countries. The DAR has long promoted patriotism through commemorative celebrations, memorials, scholarships and activities for children, and programs for new immigrants.

Squirrel bites West Elementary School student’s mother

By Pam Robinson Things got a little squirrely at West Elementary School this past Friday, September 10. West mom Amber Doty was attacked by a squirrel while she waited underneath the front awning to enter the school and drop off papers for her second-grade son Caleb.

Doty said as she waited, two women came out of the front doors and said, “Look at the squirrel.” When Doty turned to look, the squirrel jumped on her

right ankle and started biting and scratching her. As soon as she kicked the squirrel off her leg, the women pulled Doty inside the doors to safety. The squirrel continued in pursuit of his victim and leaped on the outside door handles.

Office personnel attended to Doty, who was sent to the county health nurse and referred to a doctor. Doty’s puncture wounds and scratches have been treated with antibiotics and a topical cream.

No stitches were required.

Doty reported that animal control officer Terry Penn and West Principal Paul Swanson captured the squirrel. She said the animal was being sent to the lab yesterday to determine if it had rabies.

If the squirrel was rabid, Doty

will need to take a series of shots for treatment. She admitted she was just trying not to think about that scenario.

“My leg is a little sore,” Doty commented on Sunday night.

“I’m just very glad this didn’t happen to a child.”

United Way kicks off 2010 campaign The United Way of Posey County will start its 2010 Campaign with a kick-off breakfast Thursday, September 16th at 8:00 A.M. at the Alexandrian Public Library, 115 West Fifth Street, Mount Vernon, Indiana. The breakfast is sponsored by Old National Bank.

At the kick-off, Leigh Ann Latshaw, Mount Vernon High School teacher and NEA President, will be the featured speaker.

This year, St. Philip Catholic School is one of the Pacesetters for the United Way campaign. They will run their United Way campaign during August and results are announced at the United Way of Posey County campaign kick-off on September 16. Their early support and enthusiasm will get this year’s campaign off to a good start.

St. Philip Catholic School is located about one mile from the Posey/Vanderburgh County Line in Posey County. It is a parochial school of about 230 students in grades pre-school through 8. The school is nestled in the heart

of the St. Philip Community and is home to many people, old and young, both for religious purposes and social purposes. They have many gatherings and events that bring the community together and ensure a sense of belonging and acceptance to everyone.

St. Philip is excited to be a Pacesetter for the United Way Campaign again this year, and hopes that their contributions will support the foundation and help show their commitment to helping others in and around our community.

For the first time ever, this year six Posey County schools will be Pacesetters in the United Way of Posey County campaign. Keith Spurgeon, campaign chairman, said “We are proud of our schools in Posey County, and we are excited about their community involvement as Pacesetters in our United Way campaign.”

Please call the United Way at 838-3637 or email to uwposey@sbcglobal.net for more information, or to make a reservation.

Owensville breaks ground on a new healthcare facility “September 8, 2010 marks the groundbreaking on a new clinic for Owensville, Indiana that will significantly improve the scope of healthcare that is offered in this community”, according to Tom O’Niones, President and Owner of Transcendent Healthcare, whose Owensville health care facility will be the host for the new clinic.

Owensville, which has not had a physician practice in the community since the passing of long-time resident physician, Dr. Dickenson, has had to turn to neighboring communities for many of the health care services that many towns may take for granted. With the completion of its new facility late this year, being built as an addition to Transcendent Healthcare of Owensville on Highway 165 West, that will no longer be the case.

O’Niones had originally planned on adding a 2,000 square foot addition to the facility’s current rehabilitation space for the physical, and occupational therapy and speech-language pathology services that are provided to the residents there. However, after consulting with Owensville community leaders and colleagues in the industry, the plan has evolved into a full service clinic offering those same therapies, on an outpatient basis to the community at large. To help meet the primary care needs of the community, the clinic will also staff a nurse practitioner under the professional supervision of one or more licensed physicians practicing within the communities which border Owensville.

Transcendent Healthcare of Owensville is no stranger to rehabilitation services. The facility currently provides in excess of 25 treatments, in the three aforementioned disciplines, each day to its residents. Expanding the services on an outpatient basis is new to Owensville and is usually only attempted in much larger

communities.

Meanwhile, the presence of the nurse practitioner, recognized by licensure as a midlevel provider with the authority to prescribe medicine and authorize treatment, will mean that residents, both of the facility and of the community at large, will ultimately stay in town for many of these services. The presence of the practitioner allows the services to be provided more economically, while making sure that patients are afforded the oversight of a physician for morecomplex clinical decisions.

“After meeting with physicians and leaders in our community,” O’Niones added, “it became apparent to me that if health care services are going to grow here in Owensville, we are going to have to do our part. We already provide healthcare services in this community- seven days a

week, 24 hours a day.”

The medical community has embraced the project and several physicians have stepped forward to help guide and plan for the clinic. Transcendent of Owensville Medical Director, Quentin Emerson, M.D., whose office is in nearby Ft. Branch, is a longtime Owensville resident. Dr. Emerson has been championing the need for a mid-level practitioner in Owensville for quite some time.

Dr. Bruce Brink, Jr., D.O. is a third generation physician in nearby Princeton, who currently utilizes nurse practitioners in his own practice and at Tulip Tree, a community-based clinic in Ft. Branch where he serves as Medical Director. According to O’Niones, “Both Dr. Brink and Dr. Emerson have been instrumental in helping us to make this a reality.”

OPINION

Flying away on a wing and a prayer takes new meaning Even birds survive on a wing and a prayer sometimes. One injured bird, a turkey vulture, managed with one good wing to land on the front porch of my friends Jessica FOR THE and Hugh Thompson, situat- RECORD ed on Church Street in New Harmony. As my editor Dave BY PAM Pearce notes each week, the ROBINSON truth is stranger than fiction, and Jessica testifies this bird landing ranks up there as the strangest thing she’s ever seen.

First of all, how does a wounded buzzard end up on a front porch in New Harmony?

Jessica figures this tough ole bird she named Veronica likely got hit by a car and hobbled for several miles. Veronica alerted Jessica and Hugh to her presence by rapping on the front glass. When they spotted her, she was momentarily frightened and moved to their

next door neighbor’s front porch and rapped her head on his glass. Getting no answer, she moved toward another neighbor’s home, where Hugh contained her in a large outdoor rubber trash can secured with a wire lid held down by a rock. The rock turned out too light to hold Veronica. After a series of sightings, Hugh finally contained Veronica in the trash can again, this time securing the wire with a heavier rock. He wanted to make sure Veronica kept at least one wing intact.

Once they saved Veronica, the Thompsons were then faced with another pressing question. What do you do to help a wounded buzzard that shows up on your front porch?

Raptors like Veronica are protected birds, so Jessica and Hugh called the local office

of the Department of Natural Resources at Harmonie State Park. They were referred to Conservation Officer Paul Axton. From Axton, Jessica and Hugh learned a bit about the amazing work of wildlife rehabbers.

Fortunately, for the sake of the animals and the humans involved, not just anybody can be a wildlife rehabber. When Axton receives a call about a wounded animal, he himself picks up the animal and first delivers it to Highland Veterinary Clinic in Evansville, a federally licensed rehab clinic, for an assessment of the animal’s condition. Once the exam is complete, a federally licensed wildlife rehabber nurses the animal back to full health. These volunteers must possess the expertise to qualify for the license permitting them to participate in wildlife rehabilitation. They must be screened by authorities and document their qualifications.

When I talked with Axton, he directed me

to the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife website for a listing of the wildlife rehabbers in the area. It turns out Posey County has no one licensed as a wildlife rehabber to date. Vanderburgh County has only three wildlife rehabbers. Axton says it’s always good to find more qualified people to assist with wildlife rehabilitation.

The same day Axton picked up Veronica from the Thompsons, he had already rescued an injured red-tailed hawk. It’s remarkable to count on licensed individuals with the expertise and patience to work with wounded animals. The wildlife rehabbers are unsung heroes, deserving our thanks for the work they do in helping animals free of charge.

After all, a turkey vulture might just end up on our own front porch one day. Jessica and Hugh Thompson can vouch their prayers were answered when Veronica moved to the animal hospital.

Machinist jobs hold the key to an unexpected future According to the recent Manpower Inc. survey of 35,000 employers, skilled trades positions are the hardest to fill despite an urgent need, and the company's 2010 Talent Shortage Survey named the U.S as one of the countries where employers ranked skilled trades as their No. 1 or No. 2 hiring challenge. According to the Department of Labor Statistics the machining industries are expected to decline by 3% over the next decade but skilled machinists are retiring at a rate that far exceeds any downturn in business the industry may experience. The net result is there is a steady need for machinists to fill the openings left by the retirees and not enough warm bodies to fill these job openings.

"Machinist jobs in the blue collar industries earn the same money as middle managers with a bachelor degree in the white collar industries, but they do it without a four year degree" according to Julia Gangloff, CEO of MachinistJobSite.com. "The road to becoming a skilled trades person in the machining industry used to strictly be through an apprenticeship program but is now just as likely to take the path of a trade school." Some companies prefer to hire machinists that have trained through their in-house apprenticeship programs. These programs are registered with the US Department of Labor and a list is available through their website. Trade schools offer both certificate programs and Associate in Applied Science degrees in Machining trades.

Gavel Gamut’s In his book, The Ox-Bow Incident, Walter Clark wrote about lynch mob motivation: “Why are we riding up here, twenty-eight of us, when every one of us would rather be doing something else? ….

We’re doing it because we’re in the pack, because we’re afraid not to be in the pack. We don’t dare show our pack weakness; we don’t dare resist the pack.”

Signet Classics p. 106 Clark was explaining why people who did not want to lynch someone often ended up being part of a lynch mob. Persons who would never resort to murder on their own may be unable to resist group murder.

In his work, The Jungle, Rudyard Kipling captures the essence of this dilemma: “The strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack.”

People who believe in justice and are ashamed of group violence are often powerless to resist the force of a lynch mob. The irony is that often every member of

“The Pack”

such vigilante groups would rather let the law handle the situation. This is so even

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE though we frequently disagree with or are dissatisfied with the legal system.

My guess is that the Posey County lynch mob of October 1878 that murdered seven Negro men and the Posey County lynch mob of October 1882 that crushed the skull of Hume Redman were made up of otherwise normal people who were too weak to resist public opinion.

Of course, the most interesting question for each of us is: How would we act in a similar situation? What if we were in Nazi Germany in the 1940’s or in Zionist Israel today? Would we resist wrongs or accede to them?

It is not difficult to condemn the actions of others from a safe distance. But would we have the strength of character to oppose our

only a couple of weeks of on-the-job training to reach proficiency while set-up operators and cnc programmers may need experience and formal training to write or modify programs. "The good news is that an employer may want to invest in an employee's future by paying for their education once they get a foot in the door and start adding value to the bottom line because it's a win-win situation for everyone. " "If the unemployed and underemployed are unsure about a job as a machinist or cnc programmer they should keep in mind the blue collar industries are where robotics and lasers came into everyday use.

It's not their granddaddy's dirty, smoke choked factory anymore," Ms. Gangloff advised. "Check it out. It could be the most lucrative job move they make."

friends and neighbors who may be caught up in the frenzy of prejudice, ignorance and hatred? I know of at least one local person who has done so.

When I read Mt. Vernon resident Sam Blankenship’s thoughtful and courageous letter to the editor about the “Ground-Zero Mosque”, I thought of the mob mentality from 1878 and 1882.

As Mr. Blankenship said in his letter of August 25, 2010: “Some urge that the deaths at the Twin Towers call for a suspension of the Constitution. I say that the deaths at the Twin Towers related to the sacrifices of our soldiers and their families demand that we renew our commitment to the ideals that both built the Twin Towers and inspired the sacrifices endured by our country.”

As October 2010 nears, the events of October 1878 and October 1882 seem almost as fresh as those of today. We may wish to look more closely at the actions of our ancestors and ourselves in the light of the hysteria of both times.

Sweet transition from the heat, from the work, from the hard, rough edges of life.

On we go now to autumn, to black, lacy leaves and twigs standing out against an orange sky. The mornings now have that coolness, that chill that tells us we once again have made it through the heat and toil and can sit back now and then and reflect on things.

We can think now of family, of children growing and learning. We can think of loved ones growing old and feeble, but even more beloved as we realize what treasures they are to us.

We can think back on childhood memories of lazy mornings in church, when the droning kept us in constant danger of sleep, of the smell of coffee, of the taste of purloined doughnuts and the sweet frosting on them.

We can think back to the fires of spring, when we found that love is not only terrible, but terribly exciting, too. We can reflect on moments so sacred they live only within our souls and are never expressed, because no one is good enough to put

for winter. We think of the woods, and the deer, and the creeks running pure clear and cold with fish and quiet.

The evenings now, the silent fall evenings when we see the first star come out right over the town where it has always been and we once again ask ourselves if it has always been this way and do we make a difference, or

is this simply a chance for our souls to slide through a beautiful time known as life.

We settle down now to an earlier bed time, to a later getting up time, to savoring the heat of the morning coffee as well as the smell and the taste. We look around, now that the fever of summer work has abated, and we notice people and pets and neighbors that are precious to us, and we give a little smile and nod, which means, “I love you, too.”

Chili Cookers wanted for Parks Board fundraiser in New Harmony

New Harmony Parks, Recreation and Tree Board is signing up teams to compete in its Chili Cook-Off and Arbor Day celebration hosted Saturday afternoon, October 16, in Murphy Park.

The afternoon-to-evening event is an extension of the town’s annual Arbor Day gathering with two added perks: Arbor Day is now a town-wide fall party and a way to generate funds for parks and tree-related projects in New Harmony.

The Board is seeking chili chefs who are willing to cook for a good cause and bragging

rights. Rules for entering the inaugural competition are simple: teams need at least two people with a spirited team name, and need to prepare at least five gallons of chili. The definition of chili is broad and all conceivable varieties are acceptable.

To register for one of the competition slots, teams should complete the Chili Cook-Off form – available at New Harmony town hall -- and return it by Friday, September 24.

For the event, Chili teams will be set up Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. in designated cook-sites

Kunstfest 2010 Information

near the Murphy Park shelter, where they will have three hours to cook their best kettle of “anything goes” chili. At five p.m., the public is invited for the official chili taste-and-vote. Taste tickets will be sold two for a dollar, and the public will choose the winner with their taste buds and tickets. “People’s choice champs” will be awarded fabulous prizes and a spirit stick will go to the cook team with the best theme.

While the chili simmers, the town is invited to join the annual Arbor Day celebration being

held in Murphy Park, beginning at 3 p.m. at the shelter. With the assistance of the local Boy Scout Troupe No. 386, a short program will include announcements of the New Harmony School Arbor Day art competition winners, a renewal of New Harmony’s official Tree City designation, and the 2010 Arbor Day tree-planting. This year’s Arbor Day tree -- and the art contest theme -- is the red maple.

A young red maple, chosen from the growing stock in New Harmony’s Street RELeaf tree nursery, will replace an old

Murphy Park maple lost to disease. The tree was a late-fall 2009 donation to New Harmony’s justestablished tree nursery.

It thrived during the nursery’s first year, and will be the first tree transplanted into town. Among many other donors and volunteers, the Parks Board thanks Sally Roth for the gift of this tree.

A Chili Cook-Off in the park during the Arbor Day celebration came up as the best way to showcase one of the town’s great recreational spots. It’s also a fun way to financially support a beautiful tree canopy and great parks

in New Harmony. Sandwiches, chips, drinks, desserts and chili-fixings will be sold by the Parks Board, and live local music and a bon-fire are planned.

New Harmony Arbor Day Celebration in Murphy Park Schedule: Saturday, October 16 2 p.m. Chili Cook-Off teams set up 3 p.m. Arbor Day program in Murphy Park Shelter 5 p.m. Public chili-tasting, live music and games To register as a cook team, visit New Harmony town hall before September 24.

Amy Stephens Photography to celebrate grand opening studio at 32 N. Locust Street, was recently Leeanna Wassmer’s Hair and Tanning Salon. When Leeanna retired in March, Stephens made her move to open her own studio. Coincidentally, she believes the building was once a photography studio before.

Stephens really got her start in photography by the help of her friend, Jude Williams.

“I have always loved photography and have always taken pictures. But, in 2001, I began helping Jude who shot all the baby pictures at St. Mary’s,” she says.

Williams is the photographer who took the newborn photos to a new level by introducing creative props such as angel wings while taking pictures.

Stephens’ own talent and “photographer’s eye” comes natural. She has taught herself the finer points of photography, lighting and the computer photo editing program, Photoshop. Sometimes, the best teacher is life experience and practice. She enjoys photographing babies and children and also does senior portraits, maternity and family portraits.

Although she has the new studio, she has many favorite spots in New Harmony where she loves to photograph. For senior portraits, she often goes to the individual’s farm or home to make it more personalized. She has even used her own garden as a backdrop for pictures.

It’s those life experiences taken from her own family that has helped foster her talent

Story and photo by Valerie Werkmeister Moms often wear many hats. Mother, wife, maid, nurse, chauffeur, cheerleader (for those with kids in sports or band) and the list could go on and on. For Amy Stephens, her collection of hats also includes talented author and professional photographer.

Many North Posey friends have had their families’ or children’s picture taken by Stephens, a Gibson Southern High School graduate who grew up in the Poseyville area. Now, she has her own Poseyville studio and will hold a grand opening celebration during Poseyville’s Autumnfest weekend on Saturday, September 25.

Although she has held the keys to her new studio location since mid-May, she had to delay plans to officially open after her mom, Vicki Dillon, suffered a stroke May 18. Stephens normally boasts a fast turn-around time on her finished product, but it was difficult to meet her own strict deadline schedule during the time of her mother’s illness.

“I appreciated the patience from my loyal customers, because things just weren’t being done in my normal timeframe,” she said.

Stephens has been taking pictures with her aunt, Bobbi Ziliak, in Haubstadt studio since 2003. Last December, they decided to split and Stephens began the quest of looking for her own place.

The building she has acquired for her

and creativity. In 2006, she wrote a book studio is open by appointment only at 874entitled, “It’s Gonna Be a Great Day,” spe- 2140. The open house will be held from cifically for her middle daughter, Rachel.

1 p.m. – 4 p.m. She welcomes everyone “At the time, she was struggling with to stop by for refreshments and enter for a separation anxiety while going to school. I chance to win photo packages. Samples of tried several techniques and ultimately just her work can be viewed on Facebook by kept encouraging her by positive thinking searching for Amy Stephens Photography. and telling her that she was going to have a great day,” Stephens said.

Thus, the idea for the book was born. In addition to photography, she has always loved to write. She researched online to find a publisher and eventually published the book through Author House.

She donated several copies of the book to CJ’s Bus and the book is also sold at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. She was recently contacted with the exciting news that Borders Book Stores is also carrying her book. Fans will be treated to more books as she has already penned her second book and has plans to work on a third as well. Stephens is often invited to read her book in classrooms, which she also enjoys.

Stephens and husband of 16 years, Mark, have two other daughters, Tessa and Meredith.

The studio is close to their home and she enjoys the ability to work Photographer and Author Amy Stevens takes a on photo editing and scheduling appointments from home. The breif moment to have her picture taken.

Wilcats score early, often to put Alices away, 35-14

By Steve Joos Jason Stemple is the main cog in the wheel for the Mount Vernon football team, but each week, it seems as if there’s always someone different to help him get the Wildcats a win, or at least try to.

Aaron Choate and Tim Davis were the sidekicks of the week Friday night at Vincennes, Choate playing one of his strongest defensive games of the seasons and Davis piling up a combined total of 136 yards on the ground and through the air as the Wildcats snapped back from a tough loss to Mount Carmel by traveling to Vincennes and smacking the Alices 35-14 for their first Big Eight Conference win of the season.

“All in all, we played pretty well,” coach Paul Maier said.

“Had we stuck with our gameplan and just kept throwing the ball, we could have put more points on the board, but it’s also important to get the younger kids in there and let them gain some experience, since they’re our future.”

The Cats took advantage of some Vincennes miscues to start deep in the Alices’ territory and strike for 21 second-quarter points enroute to a 28-0 halftime lead. While the defense bent at times, it didn’t break.

But did it ever bend.

Vincennes took the opening kickoff and held the ball for the first eight minutes of the game, only to have the drive stall out on the Mount Vernon 23-yard line, while the Cats needed roughly half that among of time to put four touchdowns on the scoreboard.

The Wildcats needed just 32 plays to put those points on the board, about half their normal effort, Maier explained, while they only racked up 297 yards in total offense.

Stemple had his usual night, completing 10 of 14 passes for 180 yards and four touchdowns, with Davis hauling in five of those passes for 101 yards and a touchdown, while getting the team’s only rushing score and picking up 35 yards on the ground.

Davis took a Stemple pass 36 yards for a clutch first down on the Cats’ initial drive of the night, a 77yard march that culminated with Davis’ eight-yard run for the only score of the night. The first of five Zac Deig extra point kicks made the score 7-0 Wildcats with 1:36 left in the first quarter.

In the second chapter, the Wildcats got plenty of breaks which led to plenty of points. First, Choate blocked a punt on the Alices’ 15-yard line with 9:49 to go in the quarter. Seven seconds later, Stemple found Will Terbeck in the end zone. One play, six points, the Deig extra point made it 14-0 Wildcats.

On Vincennes’ next drive, Logan Pace picked off a pass and got it back to the Mount Vernon 41-yard line. Davis caught two of three receptions as the Cats moved the ball to Vincennes’ four, only to be whistled for holding on first and goal.

The infraction moved them back to the 19.

No problem, as Stemple promptly connected with Aaron Straub for six points and a 21-0 Wildcat bulge.

When Deig wasn’t kicking extra points, he was burying Vincennes deep in their own territory on kickoffs. Touchbacks were the order of the day on his first three kickoffs and the Alices could only get the fourth out to their 10-yard line.

After the Wildcat defense stopped them on that possession, Terbeck brought the punt back to Vincennes’ 27-yard line and on the first play from scrimmage, it was Stemple

to Davis for what proved to be the last score of the first half (a 55-yard field goal try by Deig was short at the second quarter ended).

Straub hauled in a five-yard scoring pass from Stemple with 8:06 to go in the third quarter and Deig’s kick closed out the offense for Mount Vernon.

In spite of the Wildcats’ strong performance overall, Maier still saw some reasons for concern.

For openers, the team was whistled nine times for 87 yards worth of penalties and the defense sometimes gave up more yardage than they should have. The coach was concerned about the team’s approach to the game prior to the contest and was happy with the win, but didn’t feel the team was all that sharp at times.

“We killed ourselves (with penalties),” Maier said. “That just showed lack of mental focus, a lack of being ready to go, ready to play.”

But Maier was glad to get a win, especially after a tough loss and especially since that victory gave the Cats a 1-1 Big Eight Conference record.

Maier thought that the Cats gave up too much defensively and that the reserves could have done better against the Alices later in the game.

Vincennes finally got on the board with eight seconds left in the third quarter when Jake Stone hauled in a 25-yard pass from Gunnar Hutchison. They scored again in the fourth quarter on a four-yard run

by Bradeon Hardin with 1:45 left in the game.

The coach was not happy with Vincennes ability to catch Mount Vernon off guard at times on the play action pass and added that the team still has plenty to work on, especially the reserves.

But they got the win, nailing it

down very quickly.

Vikings are ‘Messmerized’ by Southridge, fall 20-6

By Dave Pearce About 10 seconds into Friday night’s big Pocket Athletic Conference football game at North Posey, Viking fans could sense that this was not going to be a very good night for the home team.

The North Posey-Southridge game began at 6:30 because of the time difference and the travel difference. But it was evident from the start, at least one team was ready to play… and it didn’t appear to be the Vikings.

The opening kick-off was taken inside the 10 and up the heart of the North Posey defense all the way to near the North Posey 20, a 67-yard return. Then, on the first play from scrimmage, Raider quarterback Elliot Prusz hit Brandon Gasser for 23 yards and the score. Twenty seconds into the game, the Vikings were behind 6-0. Things never really improved significantly, despite the fact that the Vikings earned opportunities.

But it seemed that each of the opportunities was squandered.

“I hope we wake up a little bit because I think we are a lot better than what we are playing,” Viking skipper Joe Gengelbach said following the disappointing loss. “Like I have have told the kids the last two weeks. We need to eliminate a lot of mistakes and have some people to step up and take the bull by the horns out on the field for us and help us through some of the rough times. At times we play well and then there are times where we just seem like we are completely in another world.”

Friday night must have been one of those times.

The Vikings were held to a mere 50 yards on the ground but were able to gain 186 yards through the air on 15-of-23 passing by junior quarterback Colton Motz. But it seemed each time the Vikings appeared poised to make a move, a critical mistake would cost them another opportunity.

But early on, there were few opportunities.

After going three-and-out on their first possession, the Raiders put the ball on the ground and seemed content to run through, around, and over the Viking defense. With 4:59 remaining in the first quarter, Adam Messmer ran up the gut for five yards and the score and the Raiders led 12-0. The 2-point conversion was good and the Raiders led 14-0.

On the ensuing kick-off Conner Cain attempted to field the kick and mishandled it. He was, however, able to fall on the ball and the Vikings took over on the 33.

Two plays later, the Vikings were intercepted on the 42. The North Posey defense, led by Cameron Calvert, finally stepped up and with 10:29 remaining in the second period, the Vikings took over on downs after Calvert sacked the quarterback on a fourth-and-6 on the Viking 26.

For a minute it appeared North Posey was ready to play.

Motz completed a pass to Jared Reidford and a pass interference moved the ball to the 48. Wes Harness had runs of five yards and four yards before Calvert followed a line surge for the first down.

Motz then hit Jourdan Cox on the 25 and it appeared the Vikings were in business.

The Vikings ran three plays for a total of three yards and on fourth-and seven at the 22, Motz was sacked and the Raiders took over with 7:40 remaining in the half.

“We had a good week of practice and I really thought we were ready to play,” Gengelbach said. “We practiced hard and I thought we had a good mental attitude before the game. That early score can be a deflator but we have talked about that.

Teams are going to make plays like that and you have to work your way through them. You have to let that one go and step it up and make some things happen for you. We let them have the ball way too much in the first half. They got out of some third-and-long situations.”

The Raiders were content to keep the ball on the ground and ate up most of the remainder of the half. Before they went to the locker room, however, the Raiders converted on a thirdand-10 right up the middle with 1:05 remaining. It took only one play for Messmer to score again and the Raiders held a 20-0 half-time lead after the 2-point conversion failed.

One of the highlights of the night and half-time was when long-time Viking supporter Jean Fehribach won the $310 half-pot and donated $200 of it back to the program.

The Vikings failed to get back into the game after taking the second half kick-off out to the 42. Calvert gained five and Motz hit Harness at the Southridge 43.

Motz then hit Nick Neidig at the 36 and followed that up with a 3-yard run for a first down at the 33.

After an incomplete pass, Motz ran for four more before Calvert bulled his way inside the 10.

“We came out in the second half and had the ball on the six and a great opportunity and we have another error from a snap and then another fumble,” he said. “But we fought back and forced a couple of fumbles but didn’t get either one of them.

We made some nice plays be right at the end of the play we had a turnover. We just did too many things to take ourselves out of the game.”

On first down, it appeared the Motz to Reidford connection had worked but at the last second, the ball was stripped away and the Vikings were unable to convert, again hurting themselves.

After another incomplete pass, the Vikings fumbled on back-to-back downs and Southridge took over on the 19 with 6:53 remaining.

“We made an awful lot of mistakes, a lot more mistakes than I thought we should have made,” Gengelbach said.

“We’ve got a lot of young kids but they have all played and this is the fourth game. By this time, a lot of the mental errors…coverages blown and being lined up wrong, those are just a matter of concentration. Physical errors are going to occur but the mental errors need to stop.”

The Viking defense again held after Southridge had worked its way down to the Viking 18.

Then Motz hit Neidig for 11, and then Harness for 28 more to the 40. Casey Voelker caught a pass for 11 and Harness again got the first down.

Then Neidig made up for an offsides by going up big in

By Dave Pearce For North Posey girls golf coach Kevin Wassmer, Saturday’s Pocket Athletic Conference championship did not come as a total surprise. But to most of the other schools in the PAC, it probably did.

With only five golfers out and in only the second year of a full competitive team, Wassmer helped the team to the championship by encouraging them to do the best they could do.

“We did a pretty good job,” Wassmer said of his team. “I thought we had a pretty good chance but you just never know how everyone is going to play.”

But the match, played at Oakland City, was far from a run-away. After nine holes, the Lady Vikings held a slim one-stroke lead over alwaystough Southridge.

“It was tight and I talked to all the girls individually and let them know how tight it was and they all responded,” Wassmer said. “They all had better back nine scores than front. I think they were a little nervous because they did have a real good chance to win.”

Kendyl Ahrens led the team with a 91 and within three strokes of medalist

honors. But the fact that the top four golfers were within six strokes of each other was the key for the team. Allie Koester shot a 93 and Maggie Camp had a 95 and Kelsey Teel had a 97.

Wassmer said the team has played well most of the year, placing second at a recent invitational in Madisonville, Ky. The team had also beaten each of the other teams on the conference in dual meets but team scores in a conference situation are a totally different story. Wassmer said he was proud of the way his team responded to the challenge.

“We have also beaten Mater Dei, Bosse, and Harrison and we play Evansville Signature School this week so we have had a really good year,” Wassmer said. “We beat the teams we probably should have beat but North Knox and Washington beat us pretty good but I think Washington is ranked pretty high.”

So does this mean that the Vikings could be one of the teams to get out of the Evansville Sectional. While Wassmer admits it would take a monumental effort, it is not impossible.

“That would be tough because Castle came up and beat North and everyone for the SIAC title on Saturday,” Wassmer said. “Castle, Memorial and North are all going to be there so it will be very tough.”

Final scores and standings from the PAC meet are as follows: Oakland City Golf Club Team: North Posey 376, Southridge 385, Gibson Southern 410, Pike Central 431, Forest Park 441, South Spencer 454,Tell City 468.

Mount Vernon takes North Posey twice, Invite title

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon volleyball team beat one of its county rivals twice last week, but the rival came back the second time and helped out the Lady Wildcats.

Mount Vernon topped the North Posey Lady Vikings 2517, 25-15 Saturday at the Lady Wildcats’ Invitational tournament, but North Posey helped the Lady Cats clinch their first invitational title in 18 years by beating Southridge 21-25, 28-6, 15-13 in Saturday’s final match.

North Posey needed to score at least 35 points in the match to put the Lady Cats past Barr-Reeve on a tiebreaker.

Lady Wildcats’ coach Andi Allford wasn’t happy with the way her team played in their opener (a 25-22, 25-18 loss to Southridge), but thought they got better as the day went on.

“Southridge has a very good team,” Allford said. “And I don’t think we were awake or prepared to do the things we were supposed to do. Overall though, I was pleased. BarrReeve has an awesome team with great hitters and great defense, but the girls really stepped up.”

The coach was especially pleased to see her team step up against a strong, more aggressive team like Barr Reeve.

Allford thought that the other Lady Vikings were much more competitive than in Tuesday’s contest, but her team was also more aggressive and made more progress than in the earlier contest.

If Allford saw progress, Lady Vikings coach Gary Gentil wanted to see more consistency, but he felt Saturday was an improvement.

“This was the best back-to-back three matches that we’ve had all year,” Gentil said after the Lady Vikings won for just the third time this season by beating the Lady Raiders. “We were more consistent. We still had some problems at times with different places, but they played a lot better, more consistent today.”

North Posey was moving the ball and covering well in each contest and they were ahead in their third set against Barr Reeve, only to have the Montgomery County team score the last four points to win the match.

The Lady Cats had two different servers who were giving North Posey problems, Gentil said, adding that his team tried to do a better job of recovering in each set, cutting the firstset deficit to four points before the Lady Cats pulled away.

The improvement finally seemed to pay off against Southridge, as North Posey won the second set on a tiebreaker and then held them off in the third contest.

Composure was the key against Barr-Reeve, the coach added.

“Against good teams, we play really aggressive and hard,” Allford said. “We try not to let the score be our focus, we make our performance the focus. We play mini-games to five and try to win that set of five points.”

Barr Reeve climbed to within a point with the Lady Cats at match point in the second set, but a blocking error put the Lady Cats over the top, giving them a 25-21, 25-23 victory. Under that same scenario in their contest, North Posey wasn’t able to finish things off and came up short 25-20, 2025, 15-12.

Allford praised her team for its overall play, led by Carynn Koch’s strong inside play and Jacey Ritzert’s improved front row play.

“I know I’ve had a lot of disappointment with our progress,” the coach said. “But I feel as if today is a big growing point for us.”

As well as an accomplishment the Lady Cats hadn’t managed since 1992.

Ritzert paced the team with nine kills against Barr-Reeve, while Koch, Meagan Martin and Brittany Wallis each registered two aces. Koch had two blocks, Martin 22 assists and Lauren Stemple three digs.

Koch served 10 straight points in the first set against North Posey to help put away the Lady Vikings, as she and Ritzert each registered 10 kills against North Posey.

Koch also had three blocks and four digs against North Posey, while Martin served two aces and turned in 25 assists.

Against Southridge, Koch put in six kills and three blocks, while Meagan Montgomery served a pair of aces. Martin had 15 assists and Stemple 11 digs.

North Posey bounced back from losses to Mount Vernon and Barr Reeve to beat Southridge 21-25, 28-26, 25-15 and salvage one match on the day.

The Lady Viking reserves brought home first place in the reserve tourney, despite a 25-14, 25-23 loss to the Lady Wildcats. North Posey defeated Southridge 25-14, 25-13, and Barr Reeve 25-19, 25-16 to claim the title.

Mount Vernon went 0-3 in the reserve tourney, losing to Southridge 25-15, 25-18 and Barr-Reeve 25-19, 25-16.

Barr Reeve won its match over Southridge 25-16, 25-14, while the varsity match between the two went to the Lady Raiders 25-14, 25-23.

In the first meeting between the two teams, consistency was a concern for both coaches, but it was Mount Vernon that got the better of it, winning 25-15, 23-25, 25-14, 25-17.

The Lady Cats picked up the pace in the last two sets and picked up their eight win of the year, nearly coming back from a big deficit in the second game. But once again, Allford was happier with the win than she was the way the team played.

“They’re still doing what it takes to win games,” the Mount Vernon coach said. “But what coaches need to progress and to compete on a higher level, they’re not doing that.”

The growth that comes with each match is lacking a bit, Allford said, adding that the Lady Wildcats played better at the end of each set, but she was concerned about the slower starts at the outset of each set, the coach explained.

The Lady Wildcats won each of their sets by comfortable margins, but it didn’t always look that easy, especially in the first two games.

North Posey took a 4-1 lead in the opening set, holding on until Koch dished up six unanswered tallies to give Mount Vernon a 12-8 lead. A double hit call on North Posey with Mount Vernon holding a 12-9 lead enabled the Lady Cats to break open that contest.

That was one key to the first game, according to Gentil, who added that things got away from the Lady Vikings in the last two sets.

“We just couldn’t get any consistency,” the coach said.

“In the first game and the second game we played hard. The intensity came in, we played a lot better and moved a lot better. In that third game, Mount Vernon just pushed that game to a faster pace

Kendall Reidford and Katelyn Esche get their signals crossed as both go for the ball during this week’s loss to Mount Vernon. Photo by Dave Pearce than we were used to and we couldn’t react to it. We were on our heels most of the night.”

After nearly erasing a seven-point deficit in the second game, the Lady Cats served the first seven points of the third set and never looked back, leading by as many a nine points before posting a 25-14 win.

The fourth game was a lot more competitive in the early stages, with North Posey coming back from an early 5-2 gap to take a 7-5 lead on a Mount Vernon hitting error.

The Lady Cats reclaimed the lead and were up 13-9 when North Posey was called for four hits. The Lady Vikings got the ball back, but Kendall Reidford sent her first serve into the net. The ball went back to Mount Vernon and the Lady Wildcats went from there to take control of the game and the match.

That error wasn’t as much of a game-changer, but Allford said that her team was able to take advantage of the Lady Vikings’ errors.

“I do see a little improvement with each game,” she said.

“That’s a big thing. I want to see them get better every time out.”

Koch was once again an inside force for the Lady Cats, with three aces, six blocks and 17 kills. Stemple turned in five digs, while Martin had 37 assists.

More consistency was the key to North Posey’s success in the second game, Gentil added.

“Right now, we have to keep a high level of play because we’re playing at the varsity level,” Gentil said. “It’s going to be that way. But we’ll keep working and trying to improve.”

Reidford, Katelyn Esche and Megan Durcholz each had an ace for the Lady Vikings, while Esche helped out with another 10 assists. Wendi Simpson had five kills, while Caitlin Herrmann added four blocks and six digs.

The reserve Lady Cats won their match 25-17, 25-18.

On Thursday, the Lady Cats notched another Big Eight win with a 25-14, 24-14, 23-25, 25-21 decision at Boonville.

“That was a very exciting game,” the coach said. “This was a team that we targeted and we set out a goal to take them in three and it went to four, so we didn’t meet our goal in that, but it was exciting to see the girls get fired up and play aggressively. I was pleased.”

Koch and Ritzert each had 14 kills for the Lady Wildcats, while Koch had five aces and nine blocks. Martin turned in 36 assists.

The reserves weren’t as fortunate, losing 25-19, 25-23.

The Lady Vikings traveled to Memorial Thursday night and came up short, losing 25-3, 25-15, 25-4.

Gentil had no comment on the match.

Durcholz had five kills in the match, while Esche turned in nine assists. Kelsey Everley had seven digs. The reserve meet went to the Lady Tigers 27-25, 25-23.

Wildcat soccer team hits a double-bump in the road

By Steve Joos Mount Vernon girls’ soccer coach Liz Castle was hoping for better at this point of the season.

The Lady Wildcats are 5-4 on the year after running into a pair of buzz saws last week, losing to Big Eight Conference heavyweights Washington and Jasper.

Four different Lady Hatchets succored goals Saturday and three others each had two assists as the Washington routed Mount Vernon 10-0, after the Lady Wildcats came up short against Jasper Tuesday 7-1.

“It’s tough to have two teams like that (Jasper and Washington) back to back,” Castle said. “We had some chances against Washington and for the first 10 minutes, we were competitive with them. They scored one goal and that started the flood.”

The Lady Hatchets went from there to score seven goals over the next half-hour, building a 7-0 halftime lead. Sandy Bryant, Brandy Ramaj, Olivia Myers and Madi Heacock each booted in two goals for Washington, while Myers, Bryant and Claire Hatton each had two assists.

“Washington plays together and they play all year long on travel teams,” Castle said.

“We have a few girls who play on travel Mount Vernon’s Kate Cox maintains control of this dribble as she passes into Jasper’s teams all year around, but most of our girls territory during this week’s conference match-up with the visiting Wildcats. Mount Ver- don’t. That’s why Washington so much betnon’s offense was literally shut down this week as three soccer powerhouses came to ter right now, but we did have some opportunities to score and we had a few chances.” town.

Depth was another problem as Mount Vernon didn’t have enough players to contend with a much stronger Lady Hatchet squad.

Some of those chances either took a wrong bounce or hit in the wrong place. One shot was deflected away by the Lady Hatchet goalkeeper.

Katie Hammer and Olivia Sherman had all the goals, while Ramaj, Heacock and Jerrica Perkins each registered assists.

The two reserve teams played to a scoreless tie in a half Saturday.

Maria Baier scored three goals and Elizabeth Theil added two more Tuesday as Jasper rolled over visiting Mount Vernon 7-1.

Megan Randall had the only goal of the night for Mount Vernon, with Jenny Koch adding the assist.

The score Tuesday night was one-sided, but it was a bit of an improvement over last year’s game, where Jasper posted a 14-2 victory, Castle said.

“We had some easier games early in the season and this was our tough stretch,” the coach said. We have some games coming up that I think we can win, but if we don’t play up to our capabilities, we could struggle.”

Castle’s goal of a 14-win season has already fallen by the wayside, she said, adding that the team still has a chance to be very successful if it can learn to take advantage of its chances and take charge of games earlier.

Mount Vernon boys’ soccer has trouble finding the net

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team is heading in the right direction, they’re just not getting there fast enough.

At least that was coach Travis Kaiser’s feelings after the Wildcats went 0-2-1 last week, wrapping things with a scoreless tie at Tell City.

“We continue to play hard,” Kaiser said.

“But we still need to find a way to get the ball into the back of the net.”

The Cats have consistently played hard throughout the season, Kaiser said, but they have struggled offensively with impatience.

Mount Vernon only score on goal in last week’s games, came on a shot by Kyle Sheffer early in the Cats’ 2-1 loss at Mount Carmel.

The team has worked on slowing down their ball movement and trying to pass it more while widening the field, but they still haven’t converted any shots, Kaiser said, mainly because they’re still a little too impatient.

The team had a number of chances to score against the Marksmen, but just weren’t able to get it in the back of the net.

Defensively, the Cats played a much better game Saturday despite losing center-midfielders Matt Kuhlenschmidt and Nick Theodosis (Kuhlenschmidt is out for the year with a broken leg, while Theodosis is down until the end of the week) and basically losing a third starter with the move of goalkeeper Zac Deig to the center-midfield.

Kaiser is pleased with the way the team is playing and thinks they’re heading in the right direction.

He’d just like to see them get there a little quicker.

Kaiser thought his team played better Thursday despite the 5-0 loss to visiting Gibson Southern.

“We played hard,” he said. “This was prob-

ably one of the better games we’ve played this year. I know it was a 5-0 loss, but as far as moving the ball around, we moved it around a little bit better than normal, instead of just ‘kick it around, kick it around.’ We’re starting to check to the ball better and moving the ball better.”

Now the Cats just have to tie up a few loose ends. For one thing, they have to get it in the net.

The Titans’ first few goals were mainly banked shots off the net that bounced their way, while Mount Vernon continued to have trouble keeping possession of the ball, although they did improve on it against the Titans.

Matt Wallinger and Brody DeWeese each hit a pair of goals for the Titans, with DeWeese adding two assists. Both Wallinger and DeWeese connected on direct kicks, Wallinger late in the first half to give Gibson Southern a 2-0 halftime lead.

Thursday’s game was Kaiser’s first after sitting out two contests following a red card in the Wildcat reserves’ 1-0 loss to Washington on Sept. 7.

Things were even more physical Tuesday, as Mount Vernon fell at Mount Carmel 2-1.

Sheffer booted in the Cats’ lone goal against the Aces in a battle where several players drew cards.

That score came in the eighth minute of the game and put Mount Vernon up 1-0 momentarily. Clayton Richison answered off a pass from Pete Condol on the Aces’ next possession to tie the game and then Condol scored off a pass from Tyler Shaw to give Mount Carmel the lead in the 40th minute.

The Cats fell to Central 5-3 despite two goals and an assist from Volz. Sheffer had Mount Vernon senior Dylan Rubenacker marches down the field in control as Gibthe other goal, while Deig helped out on two son Southern defender tries to get in front of the ball during Thursday’s home game goals. for the Wildcats.

Lady Wildcats claim third in Big Eight Golf meet

The Mount Vernon High School Girls Golf Team took third place in the Big Eight Conference match on Saturday. Members of the team who played are Left to right - Kayleigh Allbright, Veronica Peck, Chloe Wannemuehler, Kendyl Bourne, and Amy Steele.

By Steve Joos There’s an old adage in golf, “you drive for show and putt for dough.”

The Mount Vernon girls’ golf team wasn’t playing for dough last week, but they are definitely rounding into shape just in time for a big payoff.

The question is, will it be enough to get them far in the postseason?

The Lady Wildcats shot some of their best rounds of the year on Saturday, but Jasper and Washington shot even better, leaving Mount Vernon in third place in the Big Eight Conference meet at the par 70 Thunderbolt Pass golf course in Washington.

On Thursday, the link Lady Cats turned in their best dual-meet round of the season, only to meet up with a deadeye Reitz Lady Panther foursome, going down 154170 at Countrymark.

All seven lady Wildcats broke 50 as Mount Vernon started its week Tuesday with a 181-205 win over visiting Signature School, also at CountryMark.

The secret to the Lady Cats’ recent success?

A better short game, of course, according to coach

Dave Bell.

“Chipping and putting,” Bell said. “The short game, that’s what’s important. The girls have been working on it a lot and they’re starting to improve.”

For example, Amy Steele has been working on her short game almost exclusively and saw her scores improve, shooting an 84 for one of her better 18-hole rounds Saturday at the conference meet, according to Bell, who added that each of the girls better their scores after making the turn at Thunderbolt Pass.

Kendyl Bourne fashioned an 81 and earned honorable

mention All-Big Eight Conference honors, while Kay Leigh Albright added an 86 and Roni Peck an 87 as the Lady Cats hit the ball well and lowered their scores after shaking off the butterflies and making the turn, but they just couldn’t catch Jasper and Washington.

Jasper won the championship with a score of 299, while the Lady Hatchets were second with 317. Mount Vernon, meanwhile, was comfortably in third place, 22 strokes in front of fourth-place Boonville (360). Mount Carmel (361), Princeton (372) and Vincennes (388) rounded out

the field.

Even hotter competition may be the rub as far the team’s standings are concerned.

Thursday’s round may have been a very good one for Mount Vernon, but Reitz shot the lights out at CountryMark, paced by Chanice Young’s three-under par 32 and shot down Mount Vernon. Bourne fired a 38 and each of the Lady Cats were under 50, but it wasn’t enough as two Lady Panthers broke 40 (Meagan Gower was the other with a 39).

Allbright fired a 43, Peck a 44 and Bailey Ash 45 to round out what under any other circumstances would have been a very strong foursome. Steele shot a 48 against Reitz, while Chloe Wannemuhler carded a 50 and Carly Redman a 55.

Wannemuhler shot a 97 at the conference meet.

Depth may be another secret weapon for Mount Vernon, as different members of the team will step up in order to help out.

Redman paced the team Tuesday with a 42 for medalist honors against Signature.

Bourne fired a 45 and Wannemuhler a 46, while Peck, Ash and Allbright each fired 48s.

Annie Dixon shot a 51 to pace Signature.

Bell is optimistic about Mount Vernon’s chances this weekend, but he’s also cautious.

It all depends on who else shows up.

The Lady Wildcats won two recent triangular meets, shooting a 185 to beat Princeton (195) at Evansville‘s Fendrich Golf Course. Bosse did not have enough for a team score.

That was the first of two victories over the Lady Tigers, who also came in third behind the Lady Cats (187) and homestanding Mount Carmel (196) with a 207.

Peck carded a 44 to pace the Lady Cats at Mount Carmel. Bourne finished with a 45, Albright a 48 and Wannemuhler a 50, rounding out the Mount Vernon foursome.

Redman fired a 51 in her first meet back from mononucleosis complicated by double pneumonia, while Ash fired a 53.

Mount Carmel had just two girls under 50 (Ravyn Rogers with 46 and Allie Dean with a 48), while Princeton’s Taylor Holley carded a 44 and

shared medalist honors with Peck.

All four Lady Wildcats broke 50 at Fendrich, the site of this weekend’s Evansville Sectional.

Bourne and Wannemuhler shared team medalist honors by each shooting 45s, while Albright fired a 47 and Ash a 48.

Holley shot a 48 to lead Princeton, while Laura Egan carded a 52 for Bosse.

The Lady Wildcats finished second in a triangular at Helfrich, posting a score of 213 to finish between Castle (188) and Central (232).

Bourne led the Lady Wildcats with a 49, while Albright added a 51, Ash a 56 and Steele a 57.

Bourne shook off a double bogey on the first hole and shot a 39 in leading the Lady Cats to a 195-204 victory at Boonville, earning medalist honors with a 39. Two Lady Pioneers, Shelby Schneider (41) and Shelby Shoulders (47) got between Bourne and number-two Lady Wildcat Albright’s 49, but Wannemuehler (53) and Steele (54) helped provide a close foursome for Mount Vernon.

Reserve Vikings impressive in 46-8 win over Gibson Southern The Gibson Southern JV football team won the toss and chose to defer to the second half, and that was about that last thing that went right for them as the North Posey’s JV dominated them through four quarters Tuesday on the Vikings’ home turf.

In a 22-point outburst, North Posey scored early and often in the first period with Alec Werry connecting on a 73-yard catch and run to Jacob Bender to start things off. A Werry to Bender conversion pass made the score 8 – 0 with 8:32 left in the first quarter.

Just two minutes later, the Vikings struck again this time on a 36-yard TD run by Eric O’Risky over the right side of Gibson Southern’s defense.

“The blocking on that play was beautiful,” Coach Michael Kuhn said. “The left side of our offensive line caved them down and the downfield blocking set up a perfect wall,” he added.

Derek Voegel added the

two-point conversion run to make the score 16 – 0 North Posey. But the Vikings were still not finished their firstquarter scoring barrage as Dylan Wright tacked on a 13-yard catch and run from Werry with 1:29 left in the quarter. This time the conversion pass failed, but North Posey was now up 22 – 0 at the end of the quarter.

In the second quarter Tyler Adkins’ sack of the Gibson Southern quarterback Matthew Harpenau set up the next Viking touchdown as Werry found Mitchell Kuhn for a 34-yard strike with 7:55 left in the first half. An Eric O’Risky run made the score 30 – 0 in favor of North Posey. Neither team could score again as the Vikings substituted freely given plenty of players precious gametime experience.

“We were able to get almost every player in the game for significant minutes,” said JV Coach Patrick Rose. “It as a great opportunity to play different combi-

nations and see what they do together.”

The third quarter opened with a Gibson Southern kick-off return for a touchdown by Kurt Kramer.

Kramer, newly converted to runningback from the line, scampered down Gibson Southern’s sideline 67 yards for the score. His two-point conversion run with 9:28 remaining made the score 30 – 8 in favor of North Posey, but prevented a shutout. North Posey first got on the board in the second half on Tyson Paris’ 17-yard scamper around the right end with 6:58 left in the quarter.

His scoring run was set up

by Eric O’Risky’s long run along the left sideline. Voegel’s 2-point conversion run made the score 38 – 8 in favor of the Vikings.

Paris struck pay dirt again on a nifty 25-yard run with 1:42 remaining in the quarter.

Werry added the two-point conversion run to end the scoring at 46 – 8. In the first three games for North Posey,

Alec Werry has thrown for ten touchdown passes with only two interceptions.

In the fourth quarter Jacob Bender filled in nicely at quarterback Werry for the first time this season and promptly marched the Vikings down to the one yard line where time was allowed to expire. Werry had a busy night quarterbacking the team for three quarters, playing some cornerback on defense, kicking, and punting, (although the Vikings, like the Titans never punted.)

“I thought everybody played well in this game,” Kuhn said. “It’s always better to play with confidence and we are hoping this carries over into our next game.”

The JV Vikings were to be in action at Southridge on Monday, Sept. 13 at 6 p.m.

Lady Titans run away from field The Mount Vernon Junior High School girls’ cross country team finished fourth in the recent South Gibson “Early Bird” meet, scoring 119 points.

Naomi Seifert paced the Lady Bobcats and all county runners by finishing eighth overall with a time of 14:32. Rachel Rothman (15:33) was Members of the North Posey Junior High cross country team are, in front, Zach 11th, while Savannah Roy Goebel, Erin Will, Hannah Straw, and Derrick Davis. In back are Sydney Feldhake, (16:20) and Kelly McJarrod Koester, Gabe Mayer, Johan Cobb, and Alex Taylor. Photo by Dave Pearce Cloud (16:22) came in 27-

28. Brooke Green (17:12) and Erin Wolf (17:14) went 37-38 for the Lady Bobcats, while Grace Baldwin (17:47) was 43rd, Madison Reis (19:26) 56th and Quineshia Washington (19:54) 58th.

North Posey did not have enough runners for a team score in the girls’ meet.

Erin Will had the junior high Lady Vikings’ best finish, coming in 41st with a time of 17:33, with Syd-

ney Feldrake (17:37) right behind in 42nd. Hannah Straw (18:49) was 50th to round out the North Posey contingent.

Gibson Southern ran away and hid from the rest of the field, winning with 24 points. Evansville Christian School was a distant second with 105, followed by Perry Heights (113). Mater Dei (130) and South Spencer (216) rounded out the field.

Posey cross country teams continue to work to get better

By Steve Joos If the scarecrow only had a brain, the Tin Woodsman only had a heart and the Lady Wildcats only had enough runners for a full team.

The Lady Wildcats put a full girls’ cross country team on the course for the first time this season, but like the rest of the Posey County contingent at the University of Southern Indiana course, they were back in the pack at Saturday’s Mater Dei Invitaitonal meet.

The Lady Cats were 11th overall with 251 points.

Hunter Motz was fifth among the boys with a time of 16:41.59, but the rest of the Vikings struggled as North Posey came in tenth with 275 points.

The Mount Vernon boys were seventh with 176 points, finishing between Reitz (160) and Harrison (196). Signature School was ninth with 204 points, while the Vikings only finished ahead of Bosse (335) in the team standings.

Two county runners, both from North Posey, finished

among the top runners Saturday, as Motz was a mainstay in the boys’ race and Olivia Goebel was the highest county finisher in the grail race, coming through the chute in 19th place with a time of 22:51.

North Posey was nine in the girls’ race with 220 points.

Brianna Reis had the highest finish for the now-complete Lady Wildcats’ team, as she came in 32nd with a time of 23:35. Rachel Cash, running in her first meet, was 55th (26:08). Olivia Baldwin (27:10) was 61st, Ashton Fuelling (28:00) 65th and Cally Schissler (28:27) 70th to round out the Lady Wildcat contingent.

Goebel was another lonely long distance runner, at least as far as he teammates were concerned, although the next two Lady Vikings were in the top 50: Jessica Smith (24:10) in 41st place and Haley Lamar (25:16) in 48th.

Meagan Bender (28:16) was 67th and Jaylyn Thornburg (29:19) 75th to round out North Posey’s top five, while Jillian Koester (31:52) was 87th.

Reitz finished between the Lady Vikings and Lady Cats in ninth place with 225 points.

Memorial was an easy winner in the girls’ race with 33 points, more than doubling the score on second-place Bedford North Lawrence (69). Central (90), North (111) and Harrison (116) rounded out the top five, Mater Dei was sixth with 139 points, while Castle (174) finished ahead of the Lady Vikings.

As for the boys, only one other Posey County runner made the top 25, Mount Vernon’s Ken Renshaw (18:29) in 24th place.

D.A. Wilson (18:50) and Ryan Dick (18:52) were 36-37 for the Cats, while Bryce Newman (19:12) was 43rd and Sean Ritzert (19:37) 51st to round out the Mount Vernon top five.

Rounding out the Mount Vernon contingent were Dane Wilson (20:02) in 62nd place, Collin Knight (20:29) in 73rd, Adam Hoehn (22:35) in 114th, Jeff Powell (22;5) in 118th and D.J. Dickens (25:28) in 143rd.

Motz saw even fewer familiar faces, as Ty Shemwell was North Posey’s number-two runner—in 96th place with a time of 21:37.

Jonah Quirk (22:35) was 115th, followed by Shane Martin (23:08) and Nathan Buchanan (23:13) at 124-125. Lucas Neuffer (23:32) was 129th, Keegan Stratton (24:00) 134th and Will Heldt (25:07) 142nd.

Saturday’s meet seemed to follow a pattern for the county harriers. Take the recent Hopewell Invitaitonals at Gibson Southern, for instance.

North Posey, for instance brought up the rear in the boys’ meet, but the Vikings had Motz, who came in fourth overall with a time of 16:42.40, 22 seconds behind Perry Central’s Eric Schreiber, who won the race in 16:20.35.

Individually, they were back in the pack, but the Mount Vernon boys made out pretty well in the team standings, finishing fourth with 130 points.

But even there, the Wildcats didn’t do that poorly, placing two runners in the top 20 and a third in the top 25. Renshaw had the Cats’ best individual finish, coming in 18th place with a time of 17:49.45, with D.A. Wilson (17:56.13) right behind him in 19th place and Dick (18:00.40) was 21st.

Newman (18:47.14) was 35th and Ritzert (18:52.25) 37th to round out the Wildcats’ top five. Dane Wilson (18:54.56) was 39th and Knight (19:41.71) 59th to round out the Wildcat boys.

Hoehn was 20th in the reserve race with a time of 21:44.05, while Powell (22:44.54) came in 27th.

Mount Vernon was 20 points behind third-place Heritage Hills (110 points) and seven in front of fifth-place Tell City (137). Perry Central won the meet with 38 points, well ahead of runner-up Memorial (71).

North Posey finished 12th in the meet with 338 points, but that wasn’t he biggest thing coach Jessica Ivy took from the meet.

Five of the next six Viking runners were in a pack that finished fourth from the bottom of the 90-runner field. Quirk (21:07.48) was 82nd, Wes Conner (22:08.75) was 83rd, Shemwell (22:17.00) 84th, Buchanan (22:1761) 85th and Neuffer (22:19.08) 86th. The team’s seventh runner, Tyler Sims (23:59.99) came in 90th place.

Martin led the Viking reserves by finishing in 28th place with a time of 22:46.58. Stratton (24:26.46) was 34th and Heldt (24:41.40) 36th.

The North Posey girls also showed improvement, as Smith (23:23.12) and Goebel (23:27.27) better their times while cracking the top 40. Smith was 37th overall and Goebel 40th for the top two finishes among county harriers.

The Lady Vikings finished 11th in the girls’ race with 296 points, four behind 10th-place Pike Central (292) and well in front of 12th-place Vincennes (324). Mount Venron is still lacking enough runners for a girls’ team.

Lamar (24:26.58) finished 53rd for the Lady Vikings, while Thornburg (28:06.72) was 81st and Bender (29:41.09) came in 84th to round out the contingent.

Once again, Mount Vernon was a runner short of a full girls’ team. Reis was 49th for the Lady Wildcats’ best individual finish, while Baldwin (25:32.58) was 62nd, Schisler (27:12.90) 74th and Fuelling (27:33.52) 77th.

THIS FALL I WANT THE

Jeff and Susie Colson, always willing to lend a helping hand Mount Vernon River Days.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just warm a pew on Sunday mornings.

The Colsons are also bringing up their son in the way he should go. As long as I can remember, they have made sure Austin was involved in Christian education. He has learned kindness, courtesy and impeccable manners from his parents. His interests range from membership in the Mount Vernon Swim Club to musical performance on a variety of instrumentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;piano, percussion and xylophone.

He performs with both the Mount Vernon Junior High School Band and the Wolfgang Ensemble. In spite of his full schedule as an 8th grade student,

he still mows the church yard.

The Colsons celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this summer.

A transplant to his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hometown of Mount Vernon, Jeff has worked the same number of years for Sabic. Susie is well known in the Farmersville Elementary School cafeteria, where she has served for six years. In their leisure, the whole family enjoys boating and water skiing.

Jeff is a motorcycle and dirt bike enthusiast and still makes the time to go fishing with Austin. This family could teach reality TV what constitutes a real family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; love and availability and sincere faith in God.

Photo and story by Pam Robinson Jeff and Susie Colson of Mount Vernon live just up the street from our family. Modest and humble, they resist the limelight, but their good actions deserve attention. If for no other reason, I admire Susie for the time and talent sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lavished on cakes created for all of my daughter Jessicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special occasions. Yet, this couple is especially sweet to me for all their church work and their fine upbringing of their son Austin, just a few months older than my daughter.

Members of St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church, the Colsons understand the dedicated Christian is committed to action. Jeff serves as junior warden, overseeing all church maintenance, and is a member of the vestry, a church council group.

Susie teaches Sunday school for preschool and elementary children.

Just recently, she also became assistant church secretary. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a job well suited to her, for she never fails to offer a kind word when she sees someone.

Through their church, they have participated in Habitat for Humanity builds, Relay for Life and
