All four North Posey schools earn state’s ‘A’ rating By Valerie Werkmeister It’s always good to be recognized for the hard work you do and all four North Posey schools recently received a well-deserved pat on the back from the state. Each received an “A” rating for the Adequate Yearly Progress standard of the federal government’s No Child Left Behind Act. In third grade through eighth grade, results from standardized tests such as the spring ISTEP scores and attendance are used to determine the rating. To make AYP in high school, performance in algebra and English as well as graduation rates are determining factors. North Elementary School Principal Tim Teel and South Terrace Elementary School Principal Kelly Carlton reported on progress in each school regarding the new early learning initiatives programs. This fall

marked the start of all-day kindergarten and pre-school. Before and after school programs are being administered by the YMCA’s Y-Care program. According to Teel, there are 377 students enrolled in North Elementary. The school has just reached a benchmark that may qualify it for Title 1 funding. Teel stated that 40 percent of the students are now receiving free and reduced meals. Carlton noted there are 279 students attending South Terrace Elementary this year. She stated enrollment is slightly up as they received seven new students who transferred in. There are currently 26 enrolled in their pre-school program with 15 in the prek class and 11 in the three-year-old class. Jenna Wilson was hired as the pre-k teacher for this new program. South Terrace also

has two kindergarten classes with 19 students and 21 students in each class. What do all these numbers mean? Enrollment figures are an important topic for school administrators as state funding is generally based on those figures. A specially designated day, known as “Count Day” is set aside by the state to determine the amount of funding each school receives based on the number of students in attendance that day. According to superintendant Dr. Todd Camp, North Posey’s total enrollment is currently 1,298. A new Assistant Activities Coordinator position at North Posey was created with an approved stipend amount of $4,020. Matt Wadsworth and Tracy Stroud were approved to split the position duties and the stipend. The position was created to help

alleviate some of the many duties taken on by the current athletic director, Virgil Ferguson. In other business, the board approved: •Camp’s request for a contract with Apex Learning for a credit recovery program at a cost of $6,400. The Y-Care agreement which provides before and after school care by the YMCA. Space is the only thing the school must provide as the YMCA handles all aspects of the administration of the program. This program also satisfies the requirements for Latch-Key legislation. •Three student transfers between North Elementary and South Terrace by parent requests

Field of Dreams helps keep Viking band afloat as season heats up

Poseyville Fire truck is nearer reality as price heads downward By Valerie Werkmeister A new rescue truck for the Poseyville Fire Department is coming closer to reality, but it also comes with a heftier price tag. Mid-America, the sales dealer with the winning bid , was approved for the contract during a regular meeting held by the Poseyville Town Council last Wednesday, September 14. The final tally for the new rescue truck comes in at $251, 843, that’s approximately $11,000 over what the town hoped to come in under. Poseyville Town Council President Bruce Baker said the town and Robb Township would split the amount to fund the additional cost. Baker was undaunted by the price tag and felt that it was a lot better than it could have been. A company called, Ferrara, will build the rescue truck and the town will hopefully see it running in its fleet within the next six months. Town council members Ron Fallowfield and Steve Ahrens also approved a $12,000 expenditure towards the grant administration contract for the rescue truck to the Economic Development Coalition of Southwestern Indiana. These fees were built-in to the original fee structure and the approval was just a formality. Baker explained the Safe Routes to School project is finally advancing. Bids were received and opened by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT). The low bidder, JBI construction of Evansville, was accepted in the amount of $151,000. Baker explained a pre-construction hearing is slated for October which means work may not be completed until next year. Baker also said that INDOT has extended the completion deadline to July 2012. Sidewalks, painted crosswalks and flashing lights will be installed on a marked route from North Elementary School, down Fletchall Street and then south on Sharp Street. A complete map is available at the town hall or Baker’s office at Fifth Third Bank in Poseyville. The eventual goal is to make a complete loop around town making a safe place for children to walk to and from school. The town has already applied for a grant to start the second phase of this project . A decision has not yet been made regarding that grant request. The fire department will hold an open house on Sunday, October 9, from 1 p.m.– 4 p.m. Refreshments will be served, a Chinese auction and the survive-alive house will be on hand for the day. Posey County Emergency Management Services and the Posey County Sheriff’s Deparment will also be present. The public will be able to look at various fire trucks and equipment. The next town council meeting will be held October 12, at 4:30 p.m. in the Poseyville Community Center. The meeting is open to the public.

the troubled economy provided little consulting work, so Wilson turned to odd jobs, such as working part-time at the Alexandrian Public Library and cleaning a house in New Harmony. Then one day, Ken Meyer, Lifestyle Tours’ owner and longtime New Harmony School Board member, called to talk with Wilson about a job opening. She signed on with Meyer in August 2010. “It was perfect timing, and it’s the perfect job,” says Wilson, who can build her tours around the needs of her family, whom she still puts first. “It gives me an opportunity to do some amazing trips and see shows in locations I would never have been able to go otherwise,” she adds about her stateside tours that have taken her as far away as Broadway. Her international tours, however, usually generate much more conversation. Wilson had never left the United States until she started working for Lifestyle Tours. In fact, the farthest she’d traveled from her native Evansville had been the East Coast. In October 2010, Wilson made her first international trip to London and Paris on an 8-day tour with clients. She explains that her job entails managing the logistics of trips. She ensures, for example, that clients get checked in at the airport and that they move smoothly from site to site on tour. The actual tour presentation is delivered by speciallytrained tour managers with Collette Vacations. The tour managers provide an outline and then fill in the details about the history and current events at each international destination. Her second international trip, known as a “familiarization trip,” took her to the Canadian Rockies on her own without clients. For 10 days, she explored the “breathtaking, beautiful,” landscape so

By Valerie Werkmeister The start of the school year is well underway and while most of the fall sports have already played several games, there is one North Posey organization that just saw the start of their season on Saturday, September 10. The North Posey Marching Vikings Band performed in not one, but two separate competitions that day. They started out at Reitz High School and competed against four other bands in their class. They earned a second place distinction and were also praised with the best drum line overall. That evening, they competed at Central High School against nine other bands in their class. They placed third, but were again awarded with the best drum line rating. North Posey is among 168 high schools and over 16,000 students that will participate in marching band performances this season. They are sponsored by the Indiana State School Music Association, Inc. Scott Schmitt and Matthew Carnagua return to lead as directors for the Marching Vikes. This year’s show title, “To the Left”, is performed to the music of Scriabin’s Piano Nocturne for the Left Hand. The 40-member band is led by this year’s drum major, Curtis Cleek. One of the largest fundraisers the band organizes is their annual Field of Dreams event that was held this past Saturday, September 17. The event began at 4:30 p.m. at North Posey High School and brought in 15 bands altogether. The North Posey Vikings were not competing in the event but rather served as hosts while performing in exhibition. The Marching Band is one of the many extracurricular activities that is not supported with funds through the MSD of North Posey. They operate solely on the funds they raise themselves through their concession stand at football games, gate proceeds at the Field of Dreams event, their annual chili supper and the raffle for a Cub Cadet. They also hold several other fundraisers throughout the year, including the sale of candles, cookie dough, umbrellas and pizzas. Without the support of their fundraisers, the band would not be able to exist. A special fundraising committee staffed by Heather Martin, Penny Kramer, Donnarae Woolston, Joan Jaley and Stacy Ahrens also works hard trying to develop new ideas that will continue the band’s success. Two fundraisers upcoming in the next few weeks include the sale of special order frozen pizzas from Sandy’s Pizza in Ft. Branch and North Posey Viking umbrellas. The pizzas will be made fresh at Sandy’s Pizza and then frozen for delivery. Large golf-size umbrellas will be sold for $20 and regular size will cost $15. They will be a good quality umbrella in red, white and black with the North Posey Viking logo on them.

Lifestyle Tours opens new doors for teacher turned travel agent

Tracy Wilson By Pam Robinson Ireland, London, Paris, Tuscany—these places may fill our dreams, but we’d never believe we’d be paid to go there. Just so, Mount Vernon resident Tracy Wilson has become a jetsetter over the past year as a part-time tour director for Lifestyle Tours based in New Harmony. No blarney. A teacher by trade, Wilson left her first grade class at New Harmony School a few years ago to work as an educational consultant. As it turned out,

Former PHS worker Nader sought for theft By Dave Pearce The Posey County Humane Society appears to have been the latest victim of theft from an “inside” source. According to information provided over the weekend by Posey County Humane Society Director Sarah Appel and Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers, an arrest warrant has been issued for former Posey County Humane Society worker Ryan Nader. The warrant was issued after it was discovered that several items were missing from the Leonard Road site. The warrant calls for Nader’s arrest on three felony counts. Nader was the only full-time shelter worker for about two years. “For 20 months of that time, he did exceptional work,” Appel explained. “But just after the first of this year, there was a drastic change in behavior. We’d address the issue with him and work performance would improve for a short time. Then he’d backslide. His position with us was in jeopardy already.” But Appel said the final straw came when a surveillance camera at her optometrist office caught Nader in the act of stealing money from the office. He was fired from the Posey Humane Society on the same day. “After his release, we began finding issues and items missing from the shelter. We did not go to the press immediately because we had filed charges with the prosecutor and there was an investigation underway,” Appel explained. “However, this weekend when we took our food booth down to River Days and started to set up, we discovered our booth had been sabotaged (at least that’s the way it feels to me) and the power cable (somewhere between 40 and 50 feet of copper wire) had been disconnected at the box and removed. We have evidence that he (Nader) recycled copper at Fligeltaub and it is assumed at this point that it was from the booth.” According to information on the Posey County Humane Society Webpage, with the expansion to the Leonard Road facility, the organization had planned to continue to expand the facilities with the goal to accept dogs. A limited number of dogs are currently accepted at the Mount Vernon facility. “We were working toward an expansion as we had received an extremely generous donation of kennels (from an anonymous source) that would have made the living situation for dogs a much more humane, healthy environment while waiting for adoption,” she explained. “Unfortunately, those kennels were too large for the current facility, but worthy of considering an expanded area. The high-grade stainless steel was being stored in a large trailer located at the Leonard Road site. Appel said plans have been underway for several months

for an expansion to the facility and that design work and concrete/gravel work designs had already been completed. Then Appel said recently she and another board member had gone out to the facility to get some other items out of the trailer only to discover that all the high-grade stainless steel was missing. Appel said the stainless steel had been in storage for over six years and that there is photographed evidence that Nader had “recycled” all of the panels at the Fligeltaub site in Evansville. After doing some checking, Appel discovered that to replace the stainless steel that was missing with similar kenneling, the cost would be over $32,000. “The prosecutor has obtained photo documentation to support the accusations that Nader took all 38 panels to Fligeltaub and recycled it,” Appel explained. “I’m not sure if there is accomplice or not, but the panels are too bulky and heavy for one person to handle, I believe.” The local optometrist has been instrumental in establishing and keeping the Posey County Humane Society running. She was also instrumental in fundraising for the building the Society now occupies on Leonard Road. Under her guidance, funds were raised and the building was completed with no bank loans. “We will never be able to reach that again,” Appel said dejectedly. “So we will continue to improve our dog facilities, but not to the level we had hoped.” “You just really wonder what pushes a person over the edge like that,” Appel said in a Sunday afternoon interview. “To work so hard for something and then to go and try to destroy it, I just can’t figure it out.” The Posey Humane Society began as a group of volunteers working out of their homes. They approached the city with the offer to help upgrade the conditions at the city of Mount Vernon dog pound. The group was originally named the Mount Vernon Humane Society. However the name has changed over the years to the Posey County Humane Society and now The Posey Humane Society. Initially, The Posey Humane Society was able to move into a building near the city pound on Second Street in Mount Vernon. That allowed the organization to begin accepting cats needing new homes as well as working with homeless dogs. They operated from that location for over 10 years. “In all my time with the Posey Humane Society, this might be the hardest for me, although it’s a really close race between this and the closing of the old shelter,” Appel said. “But we got through that crisis and we’ll get through this one. The sooner the better, if I can help it.”

The North Posey Band Boosters are charged with the daunting task of keeping the band in marching order. They are parents and volunteers who dedicate their time and resources to ensure a successful marching season, behind the scenes. The board consists of chair person - Debbie Penner, co-chair - Bruce Lane, secretary - Amanda Morlock and treasurer - Kim Cosby. There are many other volunteers who help move equipment, fill water bottles, work in the concession stands, park cars, provide food or just lend a helping hand on the field when it is needed. After the Field of Dreams event, the Marching Vikings are scheduled to perform again on September 24, at the North Invitational at Central High School. On October 1, they will compete at district competition in Jasper. If they score well, they will advance to regional competition on October 15, at Central High School in Evansville. The top 20 in each class, which is determined based on school size, will move on from regionals to semi-state competition. Semi-state will be held on October 22, at Franklin Community High School in Franklin, Ind. Semi-state competition will narrow the field down to just 10 bands in each class that will qualify to perform in state finals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on October 29. For the past eight years in a row, the Marching Vikes have made it to state finals and performed very well in their class. They hope to make it all the way again this year.

RETROSPECT School employees OK 23 percent insurance increase

By Pam Robinson At the recommendation of the school district’s insurance committee, the Mount Vernon School Board renewed district group insurance plans for 2011-2012 and agreed to the increase in premium for both health and dental insurance at its Tuesday, September 6, meeting. The current plan benefits remain in effect, but the price tag reflects a 23.7 percent rise in the cost of health coverage through Welborn Health Plans and a 10 percent rise in the cost of dental coverage through HRI Dental. The higher healthcare costs translate to an increase of $88 per month for single person coverage and an increase of $240 per month for family coverage, primarily paid by the employee. Higher dental insurance costs mean a $25.70 per month premium for single person coverage, which the school district will cover. The family coverage monthly premium will go up from $75 to $82.50; of that amount, the school district will cover $30.36 per month. Superintendent Tom KoRuth Dartt celebrated her 103rd birthday on September 18, 2011 with a small party patich described the higher at the New Harmonie Healthcare Center in New Harmony, Ind.

that they would be willing to pay more and keep the same plan benefits as last year. The Welborn agreement will complete the third year of a three-year contract while the HRI Dental agreement will allow for another one-year contract with the company. It was noted that the school district’s claims to premiums ratio with Welborn has reached 110 percent and accounts for the premium change in 20112012. Similarly, use of HRI’s dental plan over the past year has been 91 percent of the premium paid. Director of Business and Technology Loren Evans acknowledged that in negotiations next year, when contracts end with both Welborn and HRI Dental, more options will be explored. He mentioned, among several possibilities, a look at stateprovided insurance along with a number of additional private providers, the consideration of higher deductibles and even joining an insurance trust in one of the nearby school districts. The board voted also to a one-year contract renewal with both National Insurance Services for life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance and with Standard Insurance for long-term disability insurance. There was no increase in premium for either type of insurance. In other business: •The board accepted the intent to retire from Pat Stewart as speech pathologist effective at the end of the first semester of the 2011-12 school year. Superintendent Tom Kopatich acknowledged that Stewart was taking advantage of the early retirement package. He thanked Stewart for the ample resignation notice that will allow the district time to search for a new speech pathologist. •The board accepted the following resignations, all effective immediately: from Tim Alcorn as assistant high school wrestling coach; from Brandon Hagan as assistant junior high school football coach (1/2 stipend); and from Charlie Seifert as assistant high school baseball coach.

the request to the board. •A request by Susie Tooley to allow Youth First Social Worker, Dena Embrey, to present the Strengthening Families program to children ages 10-14 and their parents. The program began September 14 and will end November 9. •A request by Dr. Strieter to use $2,000 from extracurricular funds to purchase ceiling mounts and LCD projectors for the high school. •A request by junior high principal, Scott Kavanaugh, to use $1,305 in extracurricular funds to purchase a bass clarinet for the band program. The cost will be split between the student activities account and the band account. •A request by Jeri Ziliak to use North Elementary School cafeteria on November 18, 19 for the annual Relay for Life Christmas Bazaar. •A request by Carolyn Higginson to use the high school facilities on June 9 – 10, 2012 for the North Posey Relay for Life event.

•A request by the Wadesville-Blairsville Regional Sewer District to use STES library to conduct their meetings on October 18 and December 20. •A request by Debra Schorr to use the high school gym for the fall volleyball program. •A request by Mr. Wassmer to take nine students to the National FFA convention October 19-22 •A request by Marilyn Rogers to take her Biomedical innovations and medical interventions classes to Deaconess Women’s Hospital on September 23. •The resignation of Vince McClure as boys’ high school junior varsity basketball coach. •A request by Maria Gantner to hire Carrie Schmitt as a co-coach for the Academic Fine Arts team. Gantner will split the stipend with Schmitt.

insurance premiums as especially “painful for employees,” who have already seen a 5fivepercent decrease in pay. He pointed out that school district employees will be offered the option during October enrollment to drop down from the buyup plan to the base plan, where applicable. The buyup plan has allowed employees to pay a higher premium for such benefits as a lower deductible whereas the base plan provides for fewer benefits at a lesser cost. Employees may still choose to pay more for the buy-up plan as well. Board members were assured the district’s insurance committee operated with representatives from all employee groups. The employee groups were provided contact information in August for their committee representatives to weigh in on insurance cost increases and providers. School board member Heather Allyn shared the concern of two employees who told her they would have preferred a higher deductible in coverage to keep the premium down. In the end, the majority of employees reported, however,

SAUCE INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup olive oil 2 large garlic cloves, minced 1/2 jalapeno chile, seeded, minced 3 tablespoons chicken stock or white wine 1 1/2 pounds fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped (can sub one 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes) • 1/4 cup fresh basil, sliced thin • • • • •

DIRECTIONS 1. Place the ground turkey, bread crumbs, sour cream, egg, minced basil, salt, minced rosemary, oregano, thyme, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Using your (clean) hands, gently mix together. Place dredging flour in a shallow bowl. Form 1 1/2 to 2-inch diameter meatballs, and roll them in the dredging flour, and set them aside. You should have approximately 18 to 22 meatballs. 2. In a large, shallow sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Gently add the meatballs to the pan. Do not crowd the pan, you may need to work in batches. Once the meatballs are sizzling in the hot oil, reduce the heat to medium low and gently cook them on at least 3 sides, until the meatballs are browned all over and cooked through, about 10 minutes per batch. (Gentle heat will make it take longer for the meatballs to brown, but will ensure that they get cooked through.) Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the meatballs from the pan to a bowl. 3. Add the garlic and jalapeno to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock or white wine, increase the heat to high and boil it down to the point where a wooden spoon leaves a marked trail through the pan. 4. Return the meatballs to the pan and coat with the pan sauce. Add the fresh tomatoes and toss to coat. Cook for 4 minutes or until the tomatoes just begin to break down. Do not overcook the tomatoes. Turn off the heat and toss in the fresh basil. Serve with fresh mozzarella, parmesan or pecorino cheese. Serve alone or with pasta, rice, or in a sandwich roll. Yield: Serve 4 to 6.

COMMUNITY Author Mike Estel book signing planned for October 1 A book signing is scheduled at the Church Street Coffee House in New Harmony, Ind., Saturday, Oct. 1. Mike Estel of Anna plans to sign copies of his new book, titled "The Last Hope: A Civil War Tale" from 1 to 3 p.m. The book is a work of historical fiction which tells the story of Sandra Coffeen of New Harmony, Ind. Coffeen learns that her Union Army husband is in

the Confederates' Salisbury Prison in North Carolina. He has been seriously injured and likely will not survive. Sandra sets out on a mission to get her husband home before he dies. Estel's book is about Sandra's journey and the adventures she experiences on the way to North Carolina. This is the second book Estel has written. His first book, "War Stories from the Heartland", is set in

Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. A third book, expected out later this year, is about a woman who joins the Union Army during the Civil War. Estel is a Vietnam-era veteran of the U.S. Navy. Estel is a longtime sports writer for The GazetteDemocrat newspaper in Anna, Ill., and teaches history and government parttime at Shawnee Community College.

Unearthed stories revealed at Angel Mounds Some 1,700 years ago, one of Indiana’s most intriguing societies flourished along the banks of the Ohio River. Archaeologists have continued to unravel the story of this ancient society. In celebration of Indiana Archaeology Month, hear those stories and more during a presentation at Angel Mounds State Historic Site Sunday, Sept. 18 at 3 p.m. (central time). The Mann Archaeological Site in Posey County, named after the family who initially owned most of the land on which the site sits, is nearly 500 acres in size and incorporates large living areas as well as a complex of

earthen architectural features, mounds, ranging from linear embankments to complex geometric shapes. Recovered objects from the Mann site include exotic materials from far-flung regions such as obsidian from the Rockies and shell from the Gulf Coast. Also recovered were hundreds of clay figurines and thousands of finely-etched bone tubes, each showing a unique sense of artistic expression. This presentation is free to the public and hosted by The Friends of Angel Mounds and the Indiana Archaeology Council.

Sermon of the week: Dreaming of Heaven By Rev. Allen D. Rutherford, Pastor of St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church On many occasions in the four Gospel books of the New Testament, Jesus states; â&#x20AC;&#x153;the kingdom of heaven is likeâ&#x20AC;?, then he goes on to tell a parable to give an earthly example of heaven. God says to Isaiah (Chapter 55), â&#x20AC;&#x153;my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.â&#x20AC;? We are left to imagine that heaven is so spectacular that it is beyond all of our human capability to understand it. Yet, in the Book of Revelation, the Apostle John, who is exiled on the Island of Patmos, is given a pretty clear and spectacular view of heaven and is commanded to write down all that he sees. In his second letter to the church in Corinth (Chapter 12), the Apostle Paul speaks of someone he knows who was â&#x20AC;&#x153;caught up to the third heaven; visited heaven while still alive. My wife Lydia and I occasionally discuss heaven. On many of these occasions she will say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised to discover who is in heaven.â&#x20AC;? Looking at this statement from a reverse angle, we could also say that we will be surprised who is NOT in heaven. If you belong to a church that utilizes the Revised Com-

mon Lectionary, then this coming Sunday (the 15th Sunday after Pentecost, Proper 21) contains the Gospel lesson from Matthew, Chapter 21:23-32 or a variation of these verses. In this story, Jesus has one of his many theological confrontations with the religious authorities associated with the temple in Jerusalem, here identified as the chief priests and the elders. In Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time, having â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honorâ&#x20AC;? (notoriety and connections) or having â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shameâ&#x20AC;? was a matter of life and death; health and well-being, or starving to death because of a lack of connections and resources. The Jewish authorities hold a position of honor, but they feel their position is being challenged by Jesus. One of the two must give in and be shamed. If they can shame Jesus in public then he might lose his followers and the crowds and slink back to Galilee and never again challenge their authority. Jesus reverses their challenge of him into a challenge of his own to them, through the use of a parablequestion. When they cannot answer or refuse to answer, Jesus severely upbraids them with these words; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John [the Baptist] came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him.â&#x20AC;?

This is stunning news. If someone of importance made a bold statement like this today, it would be all over the major networks as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking Newsâ&#x20AC;?. Jesus has just turned the idea of who is right with God and who is not, upside down. Practically everyone in Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day believed that the priests were most righteous and deserving to have a place in heaven, while no one would have thought that notorious and habitual sinners, like tax collectors and prostitutes would make it into heaven. To what contemporary story or event can we compare this ancient story? How about Jeffrey Dahmer? For the sake of decency, I will not discuss the depth of his heinous, unspeakable criminal acts. When he was finally arrested in 1991 and the full story of his life of terror was made public, he became the new face of evil. Yet, during his time in prison, Jeffrey was introduced to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, repented of his sins and was baptized. He was murdered in prison in 1994. The burning question for many is; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is Jeffrey Dahmer in heaven?; Was his conversion real and sincere?â&#x20AC;? There are far too many chief priest and elders, not Jewish, but nestled quite comfortably in the pews of our own churches, who self-righteously point to their good deeds, and claim that they are guaranteed a spot in heaven. Just like the temple authorities, they are quick to identify and label others as â&#x20AC;&#x153;sinnersâ&#x20AC;? and condemn them without even getting to know them. Jesus did not rule out the possibility of the self-righteous getting into heaven, he just said that others, repentant sinners, would get their first. In the mean time, I whole-heartedly agree with my wife, and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised to discover who is in heaven.â&#x20AC;? The Apostle Paul said that we should â&#x20AC;&#x153;work out our own salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:1-13). I just hope that my little, mustard-seed-worth of faith is enough.

When Wilhelmina became queen of the Netherlands, she was only ten years old. In her first public appearance as Queen, she stood on the balcony and stared at her cheering subjects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mama,â&#x20AC;? she asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;do all these people belong to me?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? came the wise reply, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you belong to all these people.â&#x20AC;?

That was the way our Lord felt. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.â&#x20AC;? And He practiced what He preached.

North Posey FFA Chapter News

Curt Kaufman of Mt. Vernon FFA and Cory Pharr of North Posey gather information from the soil judging site card.

Abby Bender, Chapter Reporter On Tuesday, September 13th several of the chapter’s Soils Judging Team traveled to Center Township in Posey County for the annual Tri-County Soils Judging Contest. This contest is sponsored by the Natural Resource Conservation Service of Gibson, Vanderburgh, and Posey County. Competing this year for the chapter were Josh Beck, Ryan Gish, Parker Sturgell, Nathan Wiley, Nathan Stewart, Maddie Herrmann, Liam Mathew, Kylen Lohman, Jared Payne, Jacob Bender, Dustin Graulich, Derek Collins, Daniel Motz, Dale Bender, Cory Pharr, Brooke Sturgell,

Bradley Barrett, Connor Motz, Anna Will, Abby Bender, and Austin Bender. The team of Jacob Bender, Austin Bender, Connor Motz, and Ryan Gish placed second overall to Gibson Southern. Jacob Bender was the top judger for our chapter with a score of 322 closely followed by Austin Bender with 321. The chapter would like to thank the Natural Resource Conservation Service and Jeri Ziliak for securing a site for the contest! We would also like to thank Scott Becker for providing the site and Jerry Schenk for digging the holes! This is a very valuable learning experience to help prepare the judgers for the Area III

contest in October. The chapter would like to recognize the officer team for 2011-2012 who were elected prior to leaving school last year. Officer team members this year are, President,Austin Bender, Vice President, Brianna Perry, Secretary Anna Will, Treasurer Brooke Sturgell, Reporter Abby Bender, Sentinel Olivia Goebel, 2nd Vice Kayla Hoenert, 2nd Reporter Josh Beck. Kayla Hoenert was elected at the Indiana State FFA Convention as the Vice President of District 10. The officers will be traveling to Heritage Hills this week for the District 10 Kickoff.

Area Students Participate in Soils Contest About 55 students competed recently in the TriCounty Soils Judging Contest held recently in a field farmed by Scott Becker of Wadesville. Students from North Posey, Mt. Vernon and Gibson Southern High Schools and the Gibson County 4-H team participated in the contest. In the contest, students test their knowledge of the area soils. Four soil pit holes are dug and questions are answered on the soil profile at each site. There are two sites designated as home-sites where the students determine if it would be a good site to

build a house. The other two holes have questions related to agricultural sites. Contest winners are determined by the sum of the top four individual scores from each school. Gibson Southern took the honors this year with a score of 1,579; Second place was North Posey with 1271 and Mt. Vernon was Third place with a score of 1252. Top individual scores from Gibson Southern include Sidney Hirsch – 404, Andrew Ziliak – 404, Gavin Kissel – 386 and Josie Loehr – 383. North Posey top individuals were Jacob Bender – 322, Austin Bender – 321,

Conner Motz – 318 and Ryan Gish with 310. Top individual scores from Mt. Vernon were Curt Kaufman – 356, Rebecca Miller – 322, Andrea Seifert – 302 and Victor Wells – 272. The event was planned by the Vanderburgh, Posey and Gibson County SWCDs and rotates to a different county every year. The 2012 contest will be held in Vanderburgh County. Thank you to Jerry Schenk for being our backhoe operator! Jerry dug each of the 4 holes for the contest and Members of Mount Vernon FFA L to R: Andrea Seifert, Zach Allyn, Brianna Ritzert, came back later to fill them Aaron Dickhaut, Donnie Miller, Rebecca Miller, Ryan Ritzert, Andrew Adams, Curt in.

He discussed the impact of seeing the work of the United Way agencies and the people helped and that it “explained why we all do what we do each year.” He said that McKim’s IGA has a great history of employee participation in the United Way campaign because they offer payroll deduction which makes it much easier to contribute and they discuss the United Way during the employee orientation program. Williams added that he “believes in the United Way in Posey County because it works” and that Local People Helping Local People and the IGA slogan of Hometown Proud go hand in hand. He thanked the volunteers for their hard work and challenged them to go out and raise some money. Keith Spurgeon recognized 2011 Pacesetters for the United Way of Posey County includ-

Lifestyle Tours, from Page 1A she would be familiar with it when she did travel with clients to the destination. There, she went snowshoeing and drank hot chocolate in the mountains and saw her first black bear. On a third international trip, Wilson traveled eight days with the USI Alumni Association in Ireland, where she marveled at the shades of green and at its long history—as in London and Paris. Still, the history buff admits she most enjoyed Canada. “As far as just pure overwhelming awe and a sense of beauty, it was the Canadian Rockies. You really felt your place in the world.

You felt how insignificant we are compared to these mountains. The scenery was just breathtaking. That’s the hard part—coming up with the words to describe this without sounding hokey and corny,” she comments. Next up, Wilson will make another familiarization trip, traveling to the wine country of Tuscany and Aix-en-Provence, Italy and France, for eight days, March 5-12, 2012. For the first time during her international travels, she will be accompanied by a family member—her sister, Wendy Halamicek. The two of them hope to catch a glimpse of royalty when they spend the day in Monaco as

part of the tour. Wilson says she and her husband Dile worked out the details of family life when she needs to travel with Lifestyle Tours before she accepted her job. Dile sticks close to home to help his parents Dick and Sandy Wilson run Posey Lanes, so he manages sixyear-old daughter Lera, a first-grader now, with ease. Son Dane (15), a sophomore at Mount Vernon High School, can take care of himself as well as son D.A. (18), studying animation at IUPUI. “As long as I bring a goodie home for my daughter, she’s OK with my travel,” Wilson

says. “I’ve been very lucky, very blessed. It’s been pretty phenomenal.” She loves a quote that her boss Ken Meyer told her one day, “The more you travel, the better your stories.” She concludes, “My goal is to have better stories, and we joke around, ‘be more interesting’ each time I return.” Lifestyle Tours is celebrating its 28th anniversary.

OPINION

Trip back into time goes to show that some things never change If you haven’t been back to your college campus for several years, do yourself a favor and prepare yourself for all phases of surprise if you decide to go back for a visit. In my case, last week I took a couple of days of va- TRUTH... cation from one of my jobs STRANGER to let my head air out just a THAN little. I decided to head over FICTION to Carbondale to the campus BY DAVE of Southern Illinois Uni- PEARCE versity to visit and see how things had changed. And boy, had they ever. It wasn’t like I hadn’t been over in years. I had attended both basketball games and football games over the years but I hadn’t been in the classroom buildings or the library in a long time. I already knew that the country acres I had driven through in the late 1970s between Marion and Carbondale have become centers of commerce. The open fields have turned into strip malls and motels and what was once a quiet comfortable 13-mile drive is now akin to Interstate driving. So that wasn’t a total surprise. Once nearing Carbondale from the east,

the fields that were once home to only a single Kmart store now serve as home and parking lots to Wal-Mart, Lowe’s, Best Buy, Home Depot, and a number of other department stores and theaters. But perhaps the biggest surprise came when I decided to visit a few of the buildings on campus. Perhaps the biggest surprise came in the first building I visited. I always adored the entryway into Morris Library. The walls were made of marble and down the entry corridor were huge pictures of individuals who had made significant contributions to the university in one way or another. I started toward the building only to find that the familiar front entryway into the building has been closed off and now you enter the buildings on the sides and must go through a lounge and a coffee shop to get into the library. You can still get to the old entryway but it involves going around and about to see what once greeted library patrons. But a still larger shock was once into the

library. For all my Kentucky friends, there used to be a joke that I used. “Did you hear that the library at the University of Kentucky burned and it was a total loss. Both books burned.” Now, that can almost be said about Morris Library without exaggeration. The areas where I once searched for books and looked for a corner table to study are completely reversed. The books have been replaced with computer stations and ample desk and study space is readily available. However, finding a book can be a challenge. The old bound copies of words are restricted only to certain areas of the library and some of the floors where I once found books and studied are now off-limits to the general population. As I walked around the library, I got the stares that I once was guilty of giving when I saw an “old” person walking around. I found myself remembering some of my thoughts…What could that old man possibly be wanting from the library? I hope he’s not thinking of embarking on a new career at his age. While “Saluki Way” has been recently added and a new football stadium has been

built in a multi-million dollar project, the basketball Arena still remains pretty much the same inside. That was somewhat comforting since that is about the only things that hadn’t changed. But even though there is so much difference in many things, there are some basic things that remain the same. As I walked around, I saw some young people who appeared to have it all together and knew where they were headed. I also saw the many lost souls that wander around a college campus for the first year or two wondering what college life is all about and perhaps even what they were even doing there. I saw some who appeared to be strung out on one thing or another, and I saw those who went to great measures to show off their individualism (with holes in various orafices and multi-colored hair and skin). But all in all, despite the surprises, college life remains very much the same. These people have their whole lives ahead of them. Some have direction and some are still seeking it. When it comes right down to it, the more things change, the more they are really pretty much the same.

“Featuring Fall Festivals” Wendy McNamara

Southern Festival of Books beckons As a young 20-something woman, I needed to live on the East Coast several years to realize I’d never lost anything out there. Work in Evansville brought me closer to my Kentucky home, but only in the past FOR THE couple of years have I started RECORD to understand what it meant to grow up in Munfordville, BY PAM Kentucky, the seat of Hart ROBINSON County, near Mammoth Cave. Just a couple of weeks ago, my friend, Dr. Betty Hart, directed me to the work of Kentucky author Bobbie Ann Mason, who also lived on the East Coast before returning to root herself in the soil of Mayfield, Kentucky, her family’s homeplace near Paducah. As some of my readers will know, Mason just released her novel, “The Girl in the Blue Beret.” Other works of fiction include the widely read novel, “In Country,” collections of short stories and even a biographical essay on Elvis Presley (in the Penguin Lives series). Her memoir “Clear Springs,” a non-fiction family history, drew my interest. Written in 1998 when Mason was 58 years old, “Clear Springs” was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Mason’s description of life in rural Mayfield resonates with me. I trust her story: she doesn’t water down her love for her family and her farm with sentimentality. Her memoir is bittersweet in recognizing both the strengths and the limitations of Kentucky and her people. I have alternately smiled and cried reading it. “Clear Springs” moved me so much that I wanted to meet Bobbie Ann Mason and talk

briefly with her about her art. As it turns out, I just may get the opportunity. When I visited Mason’s website, www.bobbieannmason.net, I discovered she will attend the Southern Festival of Books, held annually in Nashville, Tenn., for the past 23 years. Held this year October 1416, the Southern Festival of Books is magical (as attested by such local book lovers as Evelyn Walker, the beloved former director of our Alexandrian Public Library). Recognized local, regional and New York Times bestselling writers turn out for the event. The free, three-day celebration of the written word attracts about 20,000 attendees to meet their favorite writers and become familiar with talented new writers. It is a fixture of fall in Tennessee, and has become one of the most popular regional literary events in the country as guests travel to Nashville to experience an abundance of authors and their books, food, entertainment and culture. Needless to say, my car is already packed for Nashville. My husband Jim and I plan a day trip to the Southern Festival of Books, a first for us, for the express purpose of asking Bobbie Ann Mason to sign my copy of “Clear Springs.” I’m handing her my pen for the autograph, hoping some of her talent will rub off on me. Presented by Humanities Tennessee, the Southern Festival of Books is on the Web at www.humanitiestennessee.org. Readers may also join the Festival on Facebook and follow the event on Twitter @SoFestBooks. It’d be nice to see Posey people there.

The official first day of fall is this Friday, September 23 and there are many festivals planned in our communities for us to relish in Indiana’s great fall weather. We have had many festivals to celebrate the end of summer; hopefully you were able to attend at least one of them. Mount Vernon’s River Days once again showed off our city’s rich river heritage. There was a tremendous amount of music, great food and fireworks to celebrate. If you couldn’t make it this year, I highly encourage you to put it on your calendar for next year. Last weekend, New Harmony held their annual Kunstfest featuring the town’s German roots. There was traditional German food, crafts and music. The festival got started with traditional herders' horns being sounded from the roof of the Athenaeum. If you didn’t make it to Kunstfest or River Days, you can still make it Autumn Fest this upcoming weekend in Poseyville. This festival, sponsored by Poseyville Kiwanis Club, will kick-off at 6 am with their annual pancake breakfast. The pancake breakfast will be followed by the Miss Autumn Fest Contest, a bake off and a performance by the Evansville Fire Family on Saturday. The puppy and I will be walking in the parade on Sunday, so come on out and support this great festival. The festival runs September 24 and 25 and is located outside the Poseyville Community Center at 60 N. Church St. Poseyville, Ind. 47633.

Of course after Autumn Fest, we have the Westside Nut Club festival. This famous street festival has a rich and illustrious history beginning in 1921. This festival over the years has become a southwestern Indiana resident must and draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The festival began when the Westside Businessesman’s Association decided at one of their frequent lunches to put together a one night Halloween themed masquerade. The group, always acting a bit nutty, dubbed themselves and the festival --the Westside Nut Club. Over the years, the festival has changed. Once happening near Halloween, it now occurs in the beginning of October and lasts a full week. This year, the festival will run from October 3 through the 8 and will feature marvelous food, rides and music. You can always count on the festival to have great entertainment and over the years has drawn a couple big names. Hopefully you can make it out to this festival; my one piece of advice is to bring your appetite because this festival has no shortage of delicious treats. The closing parade has moved once again to Saturday evening and that morning you can catch the pet parade. I highly encourage everyone to come out for this staple of a festival. I hope you are enjoying the fall weather and that I will see many of you out at one of the festivals. Relish the mild weather, because I am afraid winter will be here before we know it.

Letters to the Editor

Gavel Gamut’s “Judicial Navigation” Between “an eye for an eye” and “turn the other cheek” is a module for justice that best suits Posey County, Indiana. Demographics, economics, facilities, history, culture, state and federal law and numerous other less salient factors play into the planning of specialty courts such as drug or family or juvenile courts. One of the best characteristics of the American volksgeist is the tradition of our legal system that holds: if an approach to solving a legal problem or providing a legal service is not specifically forbidden by some law, then American judges are encouraged to consider it. When I have worked with judges from other countries such as Palestine, Jordan, Bahrain, Ukraine and Russia, they often want to incorporate some of our jurisprudence or procedural innovations but feel constrained by their country's

written laws. But more significantly, they will take the

GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE position that if there is no positive, i.e., written law, authorizing a particular judicial action, then they feel they cannot institute such a policy. American judges are more of the Admiral David Farragut mentality: “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead”. That is why, in my opinion, judges from all over the world come to America, the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada for example, to study our judicial system. Of course, sometimes the torpedoes wreak havoc on well intentioned but, perhaps, not so well navigated

judicial actions. That is why when we are considering changes in our court system we must proceed slowly, incrementally and cautiously, judiciously as it were. Ideas that may have current national cachet may lose luster when implemented locally. On the other hand, if an idea is carefully considered and properly vetted, Posey County's citizens may profit from a different approach. And the more information and collective wisdom we can bring to bear the better. As we in the Posey County legal system investigate the feasibility and efficacy of specialty courts, the input from all the stakeholders should be considered. We need not stagnate from too much committee work and not enough individual initiative. However, something that will so significantly impact our county calls for a consideration of the conscience of our community.

Dr. Keith Spurgeon, United Way of Posey County Campaign Chairman, recognizes Angela Wannemuehler, campaign volunteer, and Dr. Tom Kopatich, school superintendent on behalf of the MSD Mount Vernon for an outstanding United Way campaign among Mount Vernon School District Employees.

Kopatich thrilled with employee’s UW zeal As Superintendent of MSD of Mount Vernon, I am honored and delighted at the generosity of our faculty and staff for giving back to our community by being a pacesetter for the United Way. In these tough economical times, we believe that it is crucial to support an organization such as the United Way whose goal is to give back to the families and communities of Posey County. Through donations and volunteer support, many agencies throughout Posey County benefit from the strength of the United Way, and in turn many families will have

I hope that you would consider making a contribution to the United Way of Posey County. Again, thank you for considering the United Way; it is greatly appreciated. Dr. Tom Kopatich

Vikings rebound in a big way, bounce Heritage Hills 20-12

Above, Alex Goebel is congratulated by excited teammates after making big play for the Vikings during the win over Heritage Hills on Friday night. The Vikings got a rare win over the perennial power Patriots in Poseyville on Friday night. Below, Colton Motz looks upfield for an open receiver en rout to the win. Photos by Dave Pearce By Dave Pearce Friday, Sept. 16, 2011, 20-12. That’s a compliment to both the North Posey Vikings and the Heritage Hills Patriots. The Patriots have earned the respect they have from other teams throughout the state. The Vikings earned the respect of those who watch football and know what it takes to hand the Patriots a loss. Both teams left all they had on North Posey’s grass turf and something happened that hadn’t happed in many years. The North Posey Vikings were able to hang a rare loss on the Patriots in Poseyville. Even though the Vikings have handed the Patriots a couple of losses over the past few years, both of those were in Lincoln City. It had been 30 years coming in front of North Posey’s home crowd. All those in attendance would agree that it was worth the wait, except for Coach Carl “Joe” Gengelbach who would like to see it a little more often. “This is a big one. I don’t care who you are, you don’t beat these people very often,” Gengelbach said after the game. “It went right down to the wire. We had some opportunities to maybe put it away but when you are playing Heritage Hills, they make you pay for every mistake you make. The thing that made me happy was that we were able to overcome our mistakes.” Another rarity occurred in Friday evening’s game in that Heritage Hills never led

in the contest. North Posey’s first drive ended in an interception inside the ten yard line but the Viking defense wasted little time asserting itself, stopping the Patriots after they had driven down to the 30. As a matter of fact, the entire first quarter set the tone for the game as the team’s defenses shut down the offenses entirely and there was no score at the end of the first period. But after another impressive stand from the Viking defense that involved a sack for a loss of nine yards, the Viking offense got the ball back with decent field position. On first and 10 from the Patriot 41, quarterback Colton Motz handed off to Wes Harness for two yards. He went to the air on the next down as Harness picked up nine and the first down on the short pass play, taking the ball to the 30. On first down, Harness again got the call, gaining two behind Jourdan Cox. Harness provided the block for Cox on the next play as the senior picked up a pair. Then on third and four, the Vikings surprised everyone, going to the air and Motz threw a strike to Jared Reidford at the 15 yard line. Harness and Cox took turns for short gains on the next two plays before Motz faked a hand-off and got outside to run the ball in from the six and the Vikings would have a lead they would never relinquish. Nick Neidig hit the extra point and the Vikings led 7-0 at the seven-minute mark.

But after the defense forced another Heritage Hills punt, the Patriot defense got stiff. With the Vikings driving just before halftime, Harness got loose for eight more on third down but the Vikings were looking at a fourth-and-three from the 13. A gain of two on fourth down gave the Patriots the ball and a little momentum and that’s all they needed, Ben Smith broke loose on the 18-yard line and ran 82 yards down the visitor’s side of the field to give the Patriots their first score with 13 seconds remaining in the first half. However, the extra point went wide left and the Vikings held a 7-6 lead heading into the locker room. “I was proud of the kids because we didn’t have the letdown there at half-time that I thought we might have had a little bit last week at Southridge,” Gengelbach said. “I was really glad to see that rebound come for them early in the second half.” The Patriots took over the first possession of the second half but the North Posey defense took matters into their own hands, holding the Patriots to only three yards in three downs and Jordan Bender brought the ensuing punt out to the 48. Cox got loose for nine yards on first down and facing third and one, Motz hit Tyler Adkins at the 33. Again, the third down came up big for North Posey as they faced third and 10 only to have Motz find Bender at the six yard line. Then, on the ensuing set of downs, following an offside’s penalty, the Vikings were facing a third-and-goal from the 11 when Motz found Neidig in the end zone and the Vikings took a 14-6 lead with 8:29 remaining in the third period. Heritage Hills got back into the game in just three minutes as the Wahl twins, formerly of Mount Vernon, connected as quarterback Damon Wahl hit Devon Wahl for a 44-yard pass play to pull the Patriots to within 14-12 as the 2-point attempt was sacked on the 25yard line as Wahl scrambled all over the field before finally being taken down. Perhaps the biggest defensive play (and there were a bunch of them) came with eight minutes remaining in the game with the Patriots facing third and nine at the Viking 13. Wahl threw a bullet that junior defensive back Alex Goebel read perfectly and intercepted the pass to give the Vikings the big play they needed. With Jourdan Cox on the sidelines with an injury to his foot in the third quarter, junior running back Colton Martin got the call and he answered after the Vikings got the ball at the 20. “We had a situation there where Jourdan is out and Wes is running on a very sore ankle and is about 75 percent,” Gengelbach said.

Wildcats break out of funk, gain win in Washington by 20-19 count By Steve Joos All Craig Isaac needed was a little confidence. The sophomore quarterback of the Mount Vernon football team struggled for most of the first half in Friday night’s game at Washington, but coach Paul Maier hung with him and that paid off in the fourth quarter as Isaac helped the Wildcats to a pair of last period touchdowns in a rally that rained on the Hatchets’ homecoming parade 20-19 in Hatchet Hollow. “I’ve told Craig this and I don’t think he believes me,” Maier said.” This year, his stats are no different than what (former Wildcat standout) Jason Stemple’s were the first year he played quarterback. It’s a tough year, it always a rough year for that first-year quarterback. The great thing for Craig is, he’s going through that rough first year as a sophomore.” The coach went on to say that Isaac will grow more as a junior and senior. Isaac completed nine of 14 yards for 162 yards and two touchdowns, while scoring to Cats’ other touchdown on a five-yard run with just over a minute gone in the fourth quarter. That play, along with an 80-yard strike to Tyler Ritzert with 7:33 to go, which proved to be the game-winner, capped a drive which came after Isaac had struggled and the Cats had given up two big offensive plays that put them in a 19-7 hole after the third quarter. Ritzert was Isaac’s favorite target, haulMount Vernon’s Sam Carrol outbattles Washington’s Try Parsons for a touchdown ing in three passes for 142 yards and the two reception during the win Friday night at Washington.

touchdowns. Maier also praised the effort of his team in general after the Wildcats played what the coach thought to be one of their best games of the season so far and pulling out a Big Eight Conference win which snapped a three-game losing streak. “We finally played a solid game,” Maier said. “It wasn’t perfect, we didn’t turn the ball over, we had a minimum number of penalties, maybe four, but we played a solid game. If we had done that the last three weeks, our record would be a whole lot different than it is now. It was good to get a win, the kids were starting to doubt themselves and this ought to give them a little confidence.” Why wasn’t it a perfect game? Well, there were three reasons and a fourth that was called back on an illegal block in the back penalty early in the game. The Hatchets owned the third quarter, but the Cats responded, continued to play hard and kept fighting until capping the comeback. Washington’s Tyler Parsons scored two touchdowns and rushed for 122 yards, Hatchets signal-caller Jake Basher escaped from a third-down sack to ramble 79 yards for a touchdown that put his team up 19-7 with 6:37 to go in the third quarter. Parsons had opened the third quarter by taking the opening kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown. The conversion kick failed, however,

Lady Vikings headed for golf regional, Wildcat Bourne qualifies By Steve Joos Most of the members of the North Posey girls’ golf team weren’t pleased with the way they shot during Saturday’s Evansville Sectional meet, but at the end of the day their mood changed. That’s what happens when a team qualifies for the Regional. Maggie Camp and Kendyl Crowder each sliced six strokes off their scores on the back side of the Fendrich Golf Course while helping the Lady Vikings to a score of 368 and a third place finish in the tourney. Mount Vernon had to settle for fourth after shooting a 384, but when the identity of the three individuals moving on from non-qualifying teams were announced, Kendyl Bourne was one of them. “I’m very proud of the team,” coach Kevin Wassmer said. “The team did well, the team got out, so for North Posey, this is the fourth year of the program, so getting out of the Evansville Sectional is quite an accomplishment. The girls didn’t play their best, but still got out, so they’ve got a lot to look forward

to in the Regional.” Camp struggled on the front nine and came in with a 44, but she recovered with a 38 on the back to finish with an 82 to tie Bourne (who had been struggling with illness for the better part of the day and shot rounds of 4141) for second overall. The Lady Wildcat senior was the best of the individuals, finishing six strokes ahead of both Mater Dei’s Emily McAtee and Taylor Utley of Reitz, each of whom shot 88s. “We’re excited,” Camp said. “I was just thinking that I had to pull it together for the team so that we could move on and that I had to pull it together in order to get a good score.” The day was a bit of a roll coaster ride for the Lady Vikings. While Camp was rebounding from a tough back nine, her fellow mainstay on the team, Allison Koester completed the first nine holes with a 40, but lost three strokes on the back side and finished with an 83.

Viking football, from Page B1 is out and Wes is running on a very sore ankle and is about 75 percent,” Gengelbach said. “Then Colton comes in and plays his butt off and Nick Neidig gets a cut on his chin on a hit when his helmet popped off. But no matter who we put in, they kept on fighting and stepped their level of play up.” Harness gained three and then Martin got six and four on successive carries. Then on third and one at the 49, Motz found 6-foot-4, 215-pound sophomore Adkins again in a critical situation for four yards and the first down. But the Viking drive stalled and the ensuing punt was brought back out to the 45 with about three minutes remaining and the Vikings nursing a mere 14-12 lead. But again, it was the Viking defense that stepped up. Two incomplete passes and a completed pass brought down by Chris O’Risky behind the line of scrimmage forced another Patriot punt following a Heritage Hills time out with 2:45 remaining. The Patriots were obviously rattled. Following the time

out, they took a 5-yard penalty for a false start before taking yet another penalty for taking too much time to get the play off. They punted facing a fourth-and-21. After the Vikings were held and forced to punt, again the Defense came up big, finally forcing Jack Woolems to catch a fourth-down pass out of bounds and the Viking offense took over at the 34. Harness gained three yards on first down before Martin found a seam in the Patriot defense and scooted for 34 yards to give the Vikings the final score of the night. The Patriots prolonged the drama by blocking the extra point attempt but eventually, they would run out of time in the end as the final play of the game came on second down incomplete pass from the Viking 13. Defensively, Colton Martin was all over the field with seven solo tackles. Bryce Koester and Mitchell Kuhn each were credited with four solo tackles while Derek Voegel, Jordan Cox, Kurt Seibert, and Chris O’Risky were each credited with three solo tackles. Nick Neidig, Cody Voelk-

er, Alex Goebel, Jacob Bender, Jamon Tapp, Jared Reidford, Aaron Hensley, Travis Reese, and Tyler Adkins all were credited with two solo tackles apiece. Reese, Martin, O’Risky, and Adkins were each credited with tackles for losses and Adkinds was credited with a sack. Offensively, Motz was 12-of-22 for 182 yards in the air with one touchdown and one interception. Neidig caught five passes for 92 yards while Reidford caught three for 35, Adkins two for 17, Bender one for 27, Harness one for nine, and Cox one for two. Harness finished with 53 yards on the ground and Martin had 47. Cox had 16. “We have ourselves back into a position now where if we take care of business and someone helps us out a little, we are back in the conference race,” Gengelbach said. “But we have a big one coming in Friday night because Forest Park will cause us problems when they come in here throwing the ball to the big Braunicker kid. We are going to have to enjoy this one tonight and then get back to business and get their heads back down to where they need to be.”

Wildcats finally overcome pesky Rappites in Posey volleyball match By Steve Joos Each set of last week’s volleyball match at New Harmony was close—for a while. There were points in all three sets where both the Lady Rappites and the visiting Lady Wildcats were competitive, but then someone for the Lady Cats would go to the service line and by the time she was done, Mount Vernon would be in control. That happed in all three sets. It was close for a while, but when the Lady Cats got on a roll, they rolled the Lady Rappites 25-14, 25-11, 25-7. “They played a pretty solid game,” Mount Vernon coach Andi Allford said. “Nothing too big. They just took care of the ball.” New Harmony coach Emily Prewitt would not comment on the match after the Lady Rappites stayed close early, only to run into some unstoppable servers. There was nothing spectacular about how the Lady Cats fashioned their runs, Allford said. The team was passing and hitting the ball well, while taking care of it until they were able to get points. And despite the big runs, Allford felt her team could have served better. “We missed several serves in the second game,” she said. “We should have picked up on those.” The coach said that the team wasn’t always focused and had to work on getting the job done. Oh, but there were other times when the Lady Cats were able to get their serves over. In the first set, Mount Vernon had to come back after New Harmony scored the first two points of the set. They were able to do that, quickly erasing the deficit and then maintaining a threepoint lead until Meagan Mount Vernon’s Megan Martin sets to a teammate dir- Martin took to the line with ing the Wildcat win over New Harmony in volleyball ac- Mount Vernon holding a 9-6 tion this week. Photo by Dave Pearce lead.

Seven serves later, the Lady Wildcats led 16-7, mainly by forcing a number of Lady Rappite errors in the back court. That proved to be the difference in the game until a spike kill broke Kendall Morris’ serve with the score 22-14, giving the ball back to Mount Vernon. Brittany Wallis then served out for the Lady Cats. The Lady Rappites once again drew first blood in game two, scoring on a Lauren Stemple volley that the Lady Cats couldn’t keep in bounds. Wallis went back to the line and promptly served eight straight points, which put the Lady Cats in front, 9-2 by the time the Lady Wildcats sent a volley out of bounds. Another run, this one producing four points with Jacey Ritzert at the line, stretched the lead to 15-5 after the war of attrition between the two teams ensued. Neither team could get much going in the second set, with a dump kill giving Mount Vernon a rally point and the second set 25-11. The Lady Cats scored the first seven points of the third game and never looked back, closing things out by scoring the last seven points off Martin’s offerings. Martin didn’t just serve a number of points; she helped get the ball over at the right time, to the tune of 22 assists. Ritzert had 11 kills, Stemple six digs and Livia Hopper two blocks. Wallis really stepped up at the line with a team-high eight aces. The Lady Rappites recovered Friday night for their second win of the season, rallying from a 2-0 deficit to beat visiting Washington Catholic 22-25, 16-25, 2522, 25-10, 15-12.

Special to the News Indiana State’s Larry Carter and Cory Little have been named Missouri Valley Football Conference Players Of The Week by the league office. Additionally, Shakir Bell was named the College Sports Madness MVFC Player Of The Week. The Sycamore trio was honored following Indiana State’s 4416 victory at Western Kentucky on Saturday. Carter earned his first career MVFC Defensive Player Of The Week honor after

he recorded five solo tackles and also had two huge plays in the 44-16 victory over FBS foe Western Kentucky. Carter returned an interception for 65 yards in the waning seconds of the first half which set up an ISU field goal to give the Sycamores a 17-3 halftime lead. With Western Kentucky trying to move on the ISU defense on their first drive of the third quarter, Carter recovered a fumble to end the drive and set up a Sycamore TD to help put the game out of reach.

The win against WKU was ISU’s first over an NCAA FBS program since 2001. Little was named the MVFC Special Teams Player Of The Week after he posted a career day for the Sycamores as he was a perfect 3-of-3 on field goal attempts as ISU downed Western Kentucky 44-16 in Bowling Green. Little connected on a career-long of 43 yards as the clock wound down to zeros on the first half and he added field goals of 42 yards and 35 yards. Little became

the first Sycamore kicker to hit three field goals in a game since Kyle Hooper did it at Eastern Illinois in 2004. Little was also a perfect 5-fo5 on PAT’s in the contest. Kurt Hess of Youngstown State was the MVFC Offensive Player Of The Week and Dale Moss of South Dakota State was named the MVFC Newcomer Of The Week. Nationally, sophomore tailback Shakir Bell was named the MVFC Player Of The Week by College Sports Madness. The Madness

identifies the highest impact player nationally and one from each FCS conference in their weekly feature. College Sports Madness also has additional FCS football coverage including a FCS Top 25 ranking, playoff bracket projections and team pages for each FCS conference and school. Indiana State returns to action on Saturday, September 24 when the Sycamores host Youngstown State at 2:05 p.m. (ET) inside Memorial Stadium.

Golf, from Page B1 “My drives were always going right and I was getting stuck behind a tree,” Koester explained. “Which meant that I couldn’t get on the greens in regulation and that pretty much had to two-putt every time.” Crowder also took a carving knife to her score, slicing six strokes off her score and going from a 55 to a 49 for an 18hole total of 104. Taylor Patton wasn’t as fortunate, despite finishing the day with a 99. She went from a 46 to a 53 on the back nine, while Shelby Ackerman (59-62-121) also struggled after making the turn. The Lady Vikings are Regional-bound in just the fourth year of the program’s existence and on top of their second straight Pocket Athletic Conference title. “It’s really good feeling,” the girls said. “We all hope to come out and shoot a good score and just do the best we can.” Patton and Crowder each hoped to improve on their performances at Eagle Valley after both struggled with the trees on the back nine, among other things. Wassmer felt that the team played better in winning the PAC, but also feels that they left some strokes out on the Oakland City golf course and that their best games are still ahead. “Our best golf is still in front of us and our best scores are still in front of us,” the coach said. “That’s what I’m trying to help the girls understand. I think the girls have a lot to look forward to.” Of course, the team also appreciates Wassmer’s leadership. “Kevin’s the best coach,” the team said afterwards. Well, he did win nine Evansville men’s city golf championships. Camp, Bourne and Koester were also three of the top five golfers in the meet, going 2-3-5, while the other spots went

to Maria Farnley and Kelly Morgan, both of Sectional champion Memorial. Mount Vernon coach Dave Bell felt that his team did well, even though they weren’t all that happy with their scores. “They would all liked to have shaved two to five strokes off their scores, but I thought for the most part that they did well. Three out of the five have never been here before. Two of them are sophomores, so this is a brand new experience for them and I thought they improved over the course of the year and I thought they improved today.” They did shave some strokes off their scores after making the turn for the most part. Bourne was even on both halves, but everyone else shot lower. Kay-Leigh Albright (95) dropped three strokes after making the turn, going from 49 to 46, as did Kelsey Moye (57-54-111). Bailey Ash dropped two strokes off her score (49-47-96), as did non-scorer Hayley Salaman (62-60-122). “It was nothing but nerves,” Bell said. “We didn’t hit one good shot off the first tee and it was nothing but nerves. They calmed down as the day went on and realized that it was just a golf game, even though it’s for the Sectional.” Once they calmed down, the Lady Cats finished about where Bell thought they would. Having two of the top five helped put Memorial over the top for team championship honors with a score of 340, beating North (346) by six strokes. Mater Dei was fifth in the meet with a (395), followed by Central (397), Reitz (410), Signature (418), Harrison (458) and Bosse (517). In the last regular-season meet prior to the regional, North Posey topped Southridge 188-230 Tuesday at Cambridge. Koester fired a 40 to earn medalist honors, while Camp

Wildcats, from Page B1 ever, and two conversion tries after Brashear’s run also came up short, the second one after the Hatchets were whistled for delay of game. Those botched point-after tries opened the door for the Cats, who answered the Brashear score by driving 54 yards in the closing seconds of the third quarter and early in the fourth for a touchdown. Mount Vernon was helped by a pair of costly Washington penalties, including an unsportsmanlike conduct foul that negated a Hatchets’ stop on third down and nine

after the Hatchets stifled a Mount Vernon pass play. After another penalty gave the Cats a first down at the Washington 35-yard line, Michael Rynkiewich (an unsung hero on the night with 83 yards rushing) carried the ball 24 yards to the 11-yard line. Two plays later, Isaac stuck it in from five yard out and Nick Theodosis’ second extra point of the night pulled the Wildcats back to within five points at 19-14. After stopping the Hatchets on their next possession, Isaac was sacked for a fouryard loss on his own 20-yard line.

No problem. On the next play, the sophomore signal-caller moved back again, found Ritzert and the senior receiver broke away with the ball for an 80yard gallop, putting the Cats in front 20-19. The conversion try failed, but the Mount Vernon defense took over and held off the Hatchets. “The kids stepped up and they played,” Maier said. “They played with some confidence that if they would have played with the last few weeks, they’d feel a lot better about themselves. It was great for them to get the win, it was great for them to play

this hard and get the win.” Isaac showed what he could do in the second quarter after Washington drew first blood on an eight-yard run by Parsons with 7:36 to play in the second quarter, connecting with Ritzert for a 32-yard touchdown pass with 4:57 left in the period. Theodosis’ kick tied the game at 7-7 and that’s how it stayed until Parson opened the second half with his big kickoff return. Which didn’t phase the Cats. They were playing with a little more confidence Friday night.

was second with a 44 to lead a strong Lady Viking foursome, with Patton (47) finishing four strokes ahead of Signature’s top golfer, Annie Dixon (51). Crowder rounded out the North Posey foursome with a 57, while Ackerman shot a 59. Mount Vernon’s meet with Mater Dei Wednesday at Helfrich Hills came down not to who’s number one, but who’s number one could shoot a lower score. Bourne filled that bill with a 40, six strokes better than Mater Dei’s Meagan Fulton (46) and enough to give Mount Vernon a 206-212 win. Albright’s 50 and Salaman’s 55 were both equal to or lower than Mater Dei’s 2-3 (Nicole Loehr with 53 and Emily McAtee with 55) but Brooke Guinn carded a 61 to round out the foursome, compared to a 58 for Mater Dei’s Erica Whorl and that left the six-stroke gap between Bourne and Fulton as the difference in the team standings. Emily Searcy also shot a 61. The Lady Cats didn’t shoot as well as they been over the last few weeks, Bell said, but they did develop some consistency over the latter part of the season.

Vikings gain applause of coach in loss to Day School

Viking Scott Schapker attempts to get a head on this ball during one of the viking socfcer games this week. Photo by Dave Pearce By Steve Joos The good news about the North Posey Vikings’ game with Day School Tuesday night? The Vikings played perhaps their best soccer of the season so far. The bad news? They still lost. Alex Hanke scored two goals and added an assist as the visiting Day School Eagles flew past the boys’ soccer Vikings (while doing the “Hanke-panky”) 4-1. “I thought that was our best game,” coach

Andy Hines said. “It was a good game and we had plenty of opportunities, we had a goal early in the game that was in the box, but it wasn’t counted. That was about how the game went.” Hines feel that the Vikings had plenty of opportunities, but just didn’t finish them, while Day School had their easy opportunities—and cashed in. Hanke took advantage of the first opportunity, knocking in a pass from Ethan black with 10 minutes gone in the first half to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead that stood up through

the first half and five minutes into the second, when he fed the ball to Black, who stuck it in for Day School’s second goal of the night. Hanke’s second goal of the contest came with 14:51 left in the game off a pass from Alec Bushcon. “He (Hanke)’s a good player,” Himes said. “He can play the ball when he wants to and he can shoot the ball and place the ball wherever he wants.” Kyle Swope scored the lone North Posey goal with an assist from Ty Stock with 7:32

left in the game, but Jack Cinelli got a hold of a loose ball and stuck it back in with 2:20 to go in the game and put an exclamation point on the Day School win. Despite the loss, Hines looked at his team’s effort as a step in the right direction. “Our attitudes stayed positive and that’s what we’ve really been working on,” the coach said. “We’ve been working on getting our attitudes positive and working together as a team. I think we were in the game, no matter what the score said.” The game was also a marked improvement over the Vikings’ earlier game at Washington Catholic, Hines added. The Viking boys ran into a buzzsaw recently at Washington Catholic, losing to the Cardinals 7-1, as Johnny Discher knocked in two goals and an assist for Washington Catholic. Brantly Smith had a goal and an assist for the Cardinals. Someone not named Kyle Swope got the ball in the back of the net for North Posey’s lone goal against the Cardinals, as Jace Gentil knocked in an unassisted shot. “It was night and day,” he said. “We created a lot of opportunities, but we have to finish them and keep the other team from creating opportunities.” Hines thinks that the seniors are trying to pull the team together and hopes they can provide the Vikings with a strong finish. Step in the right direction or not may have been open to question after the Vikings dropped their next two games, starting with a 2-1 loss at Central Wednesday and continuing with a 6-2 home field defeat at the hands of North Saturday. Hanke was a handful, but at least he didn’t have a supporting cast. That’s what Braiden Acton brought with him when the North Huskies invaded North Posey Saturday morning. Action scored three goals, while Malcolm Cook added two as the Huskies posted a 6-2 victory over the Vikings. Jacob Frank added a goal and an assist for North, while Caleb Powers helped out on three goals. The Vikings got their goals from the usual suspects, as Swope and Gentil each knocked one in, with Stock getting an assist.

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon and North Posey cross country teams often run together over the course of any given season. On Tuesday, they came close to leading the pack. The Lady Wildcats’ Toni Waddell and Olivia Goebel of the Lady Vikings went 2-3 in the Princeton Invitational girls’ meet, as Mount Vernon finished second with 68 points at the Gibson County fairgrounds. Waddell posted a time of 19:08 and Goebel was just 18 second behind her (19:26), to come in behind the overall winner, Boonville’s Emily Edwards-Burkes. Brianna Ries (20:14) came in ninth to put two Lady Cats in the top 10. North Posey was sixth in the girls’ race, scoring 139 points in the only joint appearance by the two teams for this week. Ashley Bell (21:00) finished 13th for the Lady Cats, while McKenzie McClarney (21:23) was 19th, Olivia Baldwin (22:02) 25th and Rachel Cash (22:20) 27th. Mount Vernon and Castle each shared the team title among the reserve girls, as both schools were the only ones at Princeton with enough runners for full teams and each scored 44 points. Ashton Fuelling came in second with a time of 20:39, while Tiffany Collins was third in 23:51 and Cally Schisler (24:55) ninth. Grace Baldwin (25:51) was 18th and Heather Zwikelberg (36:00) came in 27th. The Wildcat and Viking boys’ teams finished 6-7 at Princeton, with Mount Vernon scoring 113 points and North Posey 215. “We have a very young team this year,” Wildcat boys’ coach Tim Searcy said. “The varsity team consists of two seniors, four sophomores and a freshman. We have had some sub-par performances, but we continue to make progress and throughout the season.” Searcy feels that his team has a bright future and that they should do better in upcoming weeks, but right now, the Wildcat boys will struggle. At Princeton, Searcy said that the team ran well over the first half of the race, but hit a wall after making the turn. Sean Ritzert broke into the top 10, banishing eighth with a time of 16:21. Dane Wilson (16:54) was 18th, Ryan Dick (17:06) 23rd, Collin Knight (17:36) 30th, Mitchell Jackson (17:46) 34th, Adam Hoehn (19:26) 41st and D.J. Dickens (20:09) 46th. Three Wildcat reserves ran Tuesday, including Andrew Stevens (22:03), who finished 44th. Dylan Roy (22:20) was 46th and Brandon Roy (24:14) 58th. Castle won the girls’ meet with 56 points. Jasper was third with 86 points, followed by Northeast Dubois (110) and Princeton (110). Pike Central was seventh with 185 points. The Knights also took the boys’ meet with 45 points, finishing well ahead of runner-up Jasper (69). Northeast Dubois (82), Pike Central (96) and Princeton (101) rounded out the top five. The Vikings were back in the pack at Saturday’s South Knox Invitational, as the boys were 16th with 482 points, while the Lady Vikings were also 16th with 410. Brown County scored 81 points to win the boys’ race, finishing well ahead of second-place South Knox (107), BarrReeve (130), Memorial (137) and Castle (143) rounded out the top five. The boys came in behind the Home School Union team, which scored 446 points, while Vincennes Rivet (491) rounded out the team field. Memorial dominated the girls’ race, winning with 53 points. Greencastle (107) was a distant second, followed by Mater Dei (118), Gibson Southern (126) and Eastern Greene (172). Pike Central (409) got in just ahead of North Posey for 15th place, while Linton-Stockton was just behind them (417). Ritzert was 33rd for the Wildcat boys at Mater Dei, posting a time of 18:19, while Wilson (18:31) was 41st, Knight (18:45) 47th, Dick (18:49) 49th and Jackson (20:02) 78th as the Cats came in eighth with 216 points. Hoehn (20:54) was 97th, Dickens (21:12) 106th, Brandon Roy (23:47) 130th and Dylan Roy (25:12) 138th. North Posey was tenth at the Mater Dei Invite with 308 points. Bettering their times seemed to be the name of the game for the Viking boys at the recent Mater Dei Invitational, as five North Posey runners lowered their times from both the Hopewell and Boonville invites. “That is one heck of an accomplishment for our team,” North Posey coach Nick Berry said. “I couldn’t think of a better group of guys to work with.” Shane Martin registered a time of 20:06 at the USI course,

40 seconds better than his time at the Hopewell Invite (20;46) and faster than his time at Boonville (20:47). Gabe Mayer knocked over a minute from his Hopewell time, dropping to 20:47 after posting a 22:17 at Gibson Southern and 21:55 at Boonville. Jonah Quirk’s 20:50 was over two minutes better than Hopewell (22:46) and almost 30 seconds under his Boonville mark (21:19). Ty Shemwell (22:23) and Jonah Cobb (22:50) shaved seconds off their times at USI, Shemwell knocked three seconds his Hopewell mark of 25:32 and over a minute off his Boonville time (23:48), while Cobb’s USI time was over 90 seconds better than Hopewell (24:06) and nearly 30 seconds better than his 23:14 at Boonville. A.J. Sims (22:53) and Will Heldt (22:53) also ran at USI. Sims (22:26) and Heldt (24;18) registered their personal best times at Boonville, as did Keegan Stratton, who didn’t run at Mater Dei after posting a time of 26:14 at Gibson Southern. Sims’ time at the Hopewell invite was 22:59, while Heldt turned in a 25:42 on a day when the heat index reached 104 degrees, Berry said. The Wildcats boys were fifth in the frosh-soph race at Gibson Southern, scoring 68 points. Wilson was 18th with a time of 19:16, while Knight (19:37) came in 23rd, Jackson (20:00) 27th, Hoehn (21:05) 44th, Dickens (22:16) 58th, Stevens (24:42) 78th and Dylan Roy (29:07) 94th. Two Wildcats runners in the junior-senior race, as Ritzert (19:07) finished 22nd and Dick (19:14) 27th. Goebel had what coach Lisa Kuhn called “another dynamite performance” at Mater Dei, finishing ninth with a time of 21:21.Meagan Bender was 45th (25:24), while Ashley Whitfield (27:44) Courtney Newman (32:40) and Kaylen Newman (32:57) each registered their personal bests. Jillian Koester had a time of 38:43 and Jaclyn Koester posted a 39:42. Goebel also broke into the top 10 in the freshman-sophomore division at Hopewell, finishing ninth with a time of 22:40. Jessica Smith was 12th in the junior-senior division (22:40), while Bender (27:00) was 26th. Whitfield (29:45), Thornburg (31:58), Courtney Newman (35:21) and Kaylen Newman (35:27) made up the rest of the Lady Viking contingent. Goebel was 18th in the Boonville Invitational, posting a time of 22:04, while Smith was 39th (23:44). Bender (25:19), Whitfield (27:46), Thornburg (29:46), Courtney Newman (33:20) and Kaylen Newman (33:43). Ritzert’s finishes are much higher than earlier in the season, when the senior came in 42nd at the Boonville Invitational with a time of 18:25. Dick was 45th (18:36), knight (19:08) 59th, Wilson (19:09) 60th, Jackson (20:24) 79th, Hoehn (21:00) 84th and. Dickens (21:20) 87th. Mount Vernon finished 11th in the meet with 272 points, while North Posey was 14th with 409. Four members of the Mount Vernon girls’ cross country team won medals at Saturday’s Crawford County Invitational class meet. Freshman phenom Toni Waddell was fourth among the frosh, posting a time of 21:12, while Brianna Reis (22:24) finished 12th among the seniors and Chelsea Bell (22:59) came in 15th. McKenzie McClarney (22:47) also brought home a medal, taking 14th among the sophomores. “We took eight girls to Crawford County,” Lady Wildcats’ coach Jackie Maier said. “There were some girls who we didn’t run and so to have four girls place is really an achievement.” Such key runners as Rachel Cash and Olivia Baldwin either sat out the meet due to injuries or had to honor other commitments. Ashton Fuelling (26:21) was 27th among the sophomores, while Cally Schisler (26:56) came in 33rd among the juniors, Grace Baldwin (26:56) 44th among the freshmen and Heather Zwikelberg (36:00) 50th among the freshmen. Sean Ritzert was 20th in the senior boys’ race. Ritzert broke into the top 10 at the recent Terre Haute Saving Bank State preview meet, finishing night in the Class 1A3A race with a time of 18:38. Ryan Dick was 14th with a time of 19:04, followed by Collin Knight (19:30) in 22nd place, Dane Wilson (19:36) in 25th, D. J. Dickens (21:13) in 45th, Adam Hoehn (21:25) 47th, Mitchell Jackson (22:22) 52nd, Dylan Roy (25:12) 75th and Andrew Stevens (25:13) 76th. Mount Vernon was third among the smaller schools with 115 points, behind Culver Academies (25) and Clay City (67). Park Tudor (119) and Shakamak (124) rounded out the field.

Mount Vernon gets best of Posey County tennis battle By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ tennis team shut out its counterparts from North Posey Tuesday night. And that sums up how the week went for the two teams. The two teams met in their first meet of the week and result was symbolic as the Cats won two matches 5-0, while the Vikings were shut out twice. The Vikings traveled to Mount Venon on Tuesday and were promptly overran by the Wildcats 5-0. First doubles was the closest spot, as Layton Hopper and Seth Reeves outdueled Drake Davenport and Christian Jones 6-2, 5-7, 6-1, but otherwise the Wildcats had things under control. Jevin Redman was a 6-0, 6-1 winner over Kyle Voegel at first singles, while Ross Canada took a 6-0, 6-0 decision over Reed Gertesen at second singles, and Curt Crabtree and Hunter Wilson posted a 6-3, 6-0 win over Jacob Brent and Chase Wildeman at second doubles. The Cats hit the road Wednesday night and came back from Vincennes with a 5-0 victory, positing 6-0, 6-0 scares everywhere but second doubles.

Wildcats move to 13-4 with Princeton win By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon volleyball team won its match at Princeton Thursday night, but the coach would have liked to seen a little extra. “We didn’t play all that well,” Andi Allford said. “We won, but we didn’t show any improvement, we didn’t show anything that we can take to the next match and work on. We can’t take that much positive from this game. We didn’t play up to our potential.” The Lady Wildcats eked out a win in the first set and then pulled away from there, beating the Lady Tigers 2521, 25-13, 25-13. Jacey Ritzert registered 18 kills and had three aces as the Lady Cats followed a pattern similar to their threeset victory at New Harmony

earlier last week, out-battling the Lady Tigers in the first set and then riding a series of strong service runs to win the next two game comfortably. “We had some times where we were able to put some strings together,” Allford said. “We came in here and didn’t play our game. We need to come in and take control right away.” Mount Vernon went back and forth with Princeton throughout the first set, never leading by more than three points, only to let the Lady Tigers back in the game, which was tied three times, including once on a rally point after Mount Vernon broke Kristena Ross’ serve after Princeton had taken an 11-10 lead. The Lady Cats would score a few points, lose the

ball and then watch Princeton chip way until getting the ball back. With Mount Vernon including a 21-19 lead, Princeton got the ball back and closed the gap to 21-20 on a Lady Wildcat hitting error. On the Tigers’ next serve, Lauren Stemple went out of bounds for a diving dig that kept the ball in play and set up a block that gave the ball back to Mount Vernon. Even then, the Lady Wildcats had to rely on another rally point to keep the lead until Stemple served the last two points, with a Princeton net error providing the winner. Stemple finished the night with 14 digs, but that one big save may have been the turning point the match. A fourpoint run off Brittany Wallis’ serves opened a 7-2 lead in the second set, and then the team gradually built on that early run for a 25-13 win. Then the Lady Cats opened a 5-2 lead in the third game and stretched it to 11-4 before Princeton tried to make things interesting. With Mount Vernon holding a 13-7 bulge, Livia Hopper went to the line and the team scored seven unanswered points off her serves, all but putting away the match. She was also at the line when Mount Vernon ended the second set on a volley which went out of bounds off two Lady Tigers. A blocking error with Christy Prinzing in serve gave match point to Mount Vernon. Hooper had three aces during that run to share the team lead with Ritzert, while Wallis added a block. Meagan Martin added a team-high 28 assists to the Mount Vernon effort, as the Lady Wildcats raised their record to 13-4 on the season, but still have some things to work on, according to the coach. The Lady Wildcat reserves won their match 25-14, 2520.

Mount Vernon City Council moves ahead with Water Department Project’s Phase III By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon City Council acting as the Water Utility Board has unanimously approved the scope of work for Phase III, actually an addendum to the original 2006 contract, of the water department’s construction project. At the Monday, September 12, meeting, Water Chairman Bill Curtis and Water Superintendent Chuck Gray turned the podium over to Tom Hogan of Johnson Controls, Inc., or JCI, for his presentation on the project. The new construction will focus on providing a permanent solution to the temporary intakes at the water department. Two 18-inch intakes into the river will replace the old 12-incg intakes and turn the temporary intake structure into a permanent emergency intake. Beyond that, the scope of work for Phase III includes six additional items: water storage, HVAC control, solar lighting, wind energy, interior lighting and leak detection. The increase in water storage was highlighted as almost doubling—from the current 1.6 million gallons to 2.6 million gallons. The approved scope of work carries a price tag of approximately $10 million. Hogan emphasized that the performance contract would fund the project 100 percent through the savings achieved—with no rate or tax increase. More information on the funding will be presented at the next city council meeting. In related action, the Water Utility Board voted unanimously to authorize Water Superintendent Chuck Gray to offer up to $27,750 for the properties located between the water works and the street department as needed for possible construction of additional water storage. In other business: •Council unanimously approved the first reading of the ordinance establishing salaries and wages for the appointed officers and employees of the City of Mount Vernon for the year ending December 31, 2012.

•A disagreement arose during the common council meeting concerning the process used to arrive at the proposed 2012 city budgets. Nonetheless, the 2012 city budgets passed on first reading with one dissenting vote. Later in the week, City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins provided a copy of an email sent to Clerk-Treasurer Cristi Sitzman from Dan Jones, Assistant Director of the Budget Department at the Department of Local Government Finance, or DLGF, that states, “It appears to me that everything is being done correctly.” In another email, he added, “You’re fine. In fact, it’s refreshing to hear a council being involved in the process.” •Council unanimously approved the first reading of the ordinance to extend the summer sprinkling program credit for 30 days in 2011 only. •It was announced that the Ohio River Sweep has been rescheduled for September 24 at 8 a.m. •Resident Steve Wallace recommended city trick-or-treating be set from 6 to 8 p.m. with the sounding of sirens at the start

and end of the two hours. Council is taking the suggestion under advisement. •A successful River Days was reported, with thank you’s extended to all who helped. •Resident David Whitten addressed council with the request that Mayor Tucker and council appoint an official liaison with the River Days Committee to help co-chairs Larry William and Becky Higgins manage this growing event, in particular to be ready for the city’s bicentennial in 2016. Mayor Tucker stated the appointment should be made after November 8. The Mount Vernon City Council will meet again on Monday, September 26, 2011, at 7 p.m. in the City Hall Annex. Typically, council meets on the second and fourth Mondays of each month, but the second Monday in October falls on the Columbus Day holiday. Council voted unanimously to move the meeting to Tuesday, October 11—the same date, it was noted, that the public hearing for the 2012 city budgets will take place.

MV Neighborhood Watch meeting scheduled for September 29 The Mount Vernon Police Department wants to inform citizens that there will be a Neighborhood Watch meeting on September 29, 2011 at 7 pm at the First Christian Church at 1403 Country Club Road in the fellowship hail. This meeting is intended for any resident of Mount Vernon City Council District 3 represented by City Councilman Andy Hoehn. District

3 consists of areas such as: Park Ridge, Country Club Estates, and Lakeview Subdivision. Anyone living in this district who would like to learn more about the Neighborhood Watch program is encouraged to attend. There will be a guest speaker from the Evansville Police Department Crime Prevention Unit. Representatives from the Mount Vernon Police De-

partment, Posey County EMA-Indiana Department of Homeland Security, and elected city officials will be present for the program. There will be statistical data concerning police calls in these areas, information on home protection and security, tips on preventing burglary and vandalism, as well as other information that residents may find useful. Residents will also be able

Despite hectic schedule, Winiger finds time to help others Mount Vernon native Keely (Kirkpatrick) Winiger puts the fun in fundraising for her favorite causes. The petite brunette is a people person and packs a personality the public appreciates. She is perhaps best known for the popular annual Longaberger Basket Bingo, held the first Thursday in November. Since Winiger and her friend Liz Miller started the fundraiser 10 years ago, it has continued to grow, with 100 percent of the proceeds given to Gateway for Cancer Research. This year the Posey County Community Center will house the event, which raised over $8,000.00 last year. The Longaberger Basket Bingo represents just one of several ways, however, that Winiger has reached out to help Posey people. She co-chaired the Mount Vernon Relay for Life for many years. This year in memory of her grandfather, she is the publicity chair for the local Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Unity Walk, always held at The Communities of Solarbron. As president of the Volley Cats Booster Club, which she has led for over five years, she has initiated a plan to raise money for the fight against diabetes during the recent Mount Vernon Invitational. In addition, Winiger remains actively involved with her beloved St St. Matthew parish. parish She has long run the Kids-N-More Chinese-style auction at the annual St. Matthew summer social. Along

with Nancy Simon, she brings together a group for the annual bus trip to root for the St. Louis Cardinals. She is a past PTA president for St. Matthew School and still serves as chair for the St. Matthew School Benefit Auction that brings in $60,000 to $65,000 annually. She and her husband, along with other friends, throw their annual barn party also to raise money for St. Matthew School. Winiger is the only child of the late John Kirkpatrick and his wife Patricia, now married to Keelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second dad, Doug Crowdus. She attended the University of Southern Indiana until she changed her major from elementary education to computer programming and graduated from Lockyear College. Later, she earned an additional degree in human resource management from Oakland City University. She worked as a secretary and human resource assistant at Mount Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warehouse Services, Inc., became the human resource manager for Babcock and Wilcox, started a nursing program at Visiting Nurse Plus, recruited engineers and professionals for over 15 years for Fortune Personnel Consultants before coming aboard as the executive assistant for the Posey County Board of Commissioners and Council nearly two years ago.

A college sophomore now, Katie studies graphic design at the University of Evansville and would like to use her talents to work with children in art therapy. A Mount Vernon High School sophomore, Erica is libero on the junior varsity volleyball team and sits varsity as well as playing softball for her school. The canine duo Heidi and Gia complete the family. A guesstimated 10-year-old beagle rescue from the pound, Heidi the elder tries to excuse the antics of the playful Gia, only 31 weeks old. This big baby, part Pyrenees and part Bernese mountain dog from Arkansas, will grow to weigh around 140 pounds. It pays to announce your inten intentions as a visitor to Winiger Farms.

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