Mount Vernon River Days offers myriad of weekend activities On Sept. 9, 10, and 11, Mount Vernon’s Riverfront will again be host to a major “Community Pride” event – Mount Vernon River Days 2011.

The celebration will begin at 11 a.m. on Friday, with opening ceremonies featuring remarks by Mayor John Tucker and River Days chairman Larry Williams. The Pledge of Allegiance, led by a student volunteer, will be followed by the American Legion Honor Guard.

Following the opening ceremonies, the Historical Demonstration area, intended to be educational in nature and located in Sherburne Park, will be set and ready to entertain guests and hundreds of school children who will be visiting the River Days Festival on Friday. Demonstrations will include a Civil War display and a Civil War hospital tent, (equipped with a wounded soldier), a broom maker, rope-maker, quilter, knitters, soap and

candle making, knife display, gourds, and storytelling “Steamboats Round the Bend” with Susan Fowler. Historic demonstrations will continue through Saturday.

In the Vectren Building at the corners of Water and College on Friday and Saturday, visitors will be able to view photographs and memorabilia from the 1937 Flood, as well as the most recent “raging of the river” earlier this year.

Food booths will line both sides of Main Street between Second and Water, while vendor booths will be placed along both sides of Water Street. A Festival Guide, new to River Days this year, will provide a Munchy Map, a legend and map that will identify food booth offerings and the locations of all vendors and information groups.

Of course “Smoke on the Ohio” will fill not only the block on Water Street between Walnut and Mulberry, but the air will be

filled with the smell of smoking barbecue, as the contestants will be “smokin’ and sellin.”

Judging will take place at the Fortune Building at Second and Main, with results being announced on the main stage on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

Alexandrian Library will be hosting an exhibit of photographs celebrating Historic Mount Vernon. The photographs and images will reflect Mount Vernon before 1940. The exhibit takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Inflatables, which will be on the southeast side of Main and and Water streets, a dunking booth, and other activities for children will be dotted along Water Street.

A new Little Miss & Mr. River Days will be crowned on the main stage on Friday at 6 p.m. and will be “presiding” over the festival.

Music of all types - from Doo-Wop to clas-

sical - will provide something that will please everyone. Local talent will be highlighted during the talent/variety show on Friday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. This will be followed

by Karaoke.

Throughout the festival, A.J. Hoehn and David Whitten will be DJ’s playing music for festival-goers.

Arrests made in Harmonie Park truck theft, another arrest pending

By Dave Pearce A trip to Seattle to see his daughter and grandchildren turned into a nightmare for Posey County residents Tom and Lisa Smith.

On the evening of July 17, Smith received a phone call from his daughter, Mary, at the family’s rural New Harmony home, telling him that his 2003 F-250 Ford Diesel truck had been stolen.

Worse yet, the truck would be discovered in the Wabash River by park personnel, just about a mile from the Smith home and in Harmonie State Park.

John R. Loehr, 22, of New Harmony, has been arrested and charged with auto theft, a Class D felony. A charge of criminal trespass was added 10 days later after police were advised that Loehr had been denied access to the Indiana Mound Farm, where the truck was located and where Smith manages.

An active arrest warrant also remains for Landon Cale Mullis, 25, also of New Harmony.

With Smith in Seattle and both Posey County Conservation Officers out of town for the day, the investigation became a collective effort between two out-of-county conservation officers, the Indiana State Police, and the Posey County

Sheriff’s Department.

However, earlier this month, Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers was finally able to issue an arrest warrant in the case.

In interviews with police, Loehr told police that he and Mullis had been involved in the incident.

Harmonie State Park gate attendant James B. Igou, advised police he was at the main gate when the Smith vehicle was allowed to enter the park at around 2 a.m. on July 17. Igou advised police that Patricia Hall (Groves) had rented a cabin in the park on July 16.

In an interview with police, (Hall) Groves told police that Loehr, Aaron Graves, Mullis, and she had left the park in Loehr’s black truck and that it had apparently run out of fuel near the entrance to the park. Groves finally told police that Loehr and Mullis left the black truck walking south on SR69 and returned driving the white Ford truck with a trailer attached.

The two men, in separate testimonies, said they entered the Indian Mounds Farm to look for fuel but found the truck with the keys laying in the console. The pair drove the truck back to the site of the truck that was not running and

picked up Patricia Hall and Aaron Graves.

During questioning by local police, Mullis told police that Hall was aware that the truck was stolen and that she had grabbed the parking permit from the stalled truck and placed it in Smith’s vehicle, allowing re-entry into the park.

Graves, who (Hall) Groves had described as intoxicated, was said to have wanted to burn the truck.

Groves and Graves then left the truck but Loehr and Mullis returned to the vehicle.

Mullis told officers he was having trouble backing the vehicle and that Loehr then began to drive the truck. According to Mullis, Loehr placed a large rock on the gas pedal of the truck to get it to run into the river.

Smith’s business partner, Tim Wiley, was called to the scene and confirmed that the truck was Smith’s and that it had been parked at the Elliot Farm along State Road 69. Wiley advised that a friend had borrowed the truck and trailer Saturday. The man who borrowed the truck was contacted and indicated that after using the truck, he left it on a concrete area near the barn and had placed the keys for the truck in a cup holder in the center console.

OPINION

Late night on the front porch compares ‘life to the corn’ After spending the last few days in the blistering 100-degree temperatures on the black asphalt of a car lot, word that a change in the weather was coming was welcomed news.

TRUTH...

On Saturday night, after unTRANGER S successfully trying once to get T HAN to sleep at a reasonable hour, I F ICTION decided to go outside and welBY DAVE come , in person, the change.

PEARCE With the harvest moon still several weeks away, only a small amount of light emitted from a nearby streetlight and it was spotty. It seemed to come on for about three to five minutes about every ten minutes.

But the winds that blew in the cooler temperatures blew in memories as I sat on the dark porch and tried to reconnect with myself. Little did I know almost 40 years ago when Bob Hoehn, Mark Wade and myself were driving the backroads of Posey County that when all was said and done, I would be the one living here, not the one visiting.

It was the summer between my junior and senior years in high school. I was spending the summer with my sister who lived in Owensville. Bob and Mark worked with me. Being from Illinois, I knew nothing about Posey County and it was left up to Mark and Bob to show me around.

As kids do in the summer time, we took all the back roads. We drove around Griffin, Stewartsville, and all points

inbetween. They took me to places I had never seen before but most of them were at night and I really can’t remember today where we went or much of what we did.

I do remember swimming in a stripper pit somewhere out toward Griffin. The sad part about that was, I did not know how to swim. But after diving into the pit that seemed to have no bottom, I finally surfaced and made my way back to the shallow water where I stayed.

I remember laying on the hood of the car and looking at the stars and thinking how much of life I had ahead of me. What would I be? Where would I go? What would I become? Where would I live? Would I have a family? All those and thousands of other questions were the subjects of endless hours of conversations with my friends. Those were some cherished good times in my life and I took the time Saturday night to remember and to relive some of them.

But as it neared 1 a.m., I looked across the road from my house. I saw the corn, that just yesterday was seedlings breaking through the wet spring soil. But tonight, I realized that the corn had reached maturity and instead of the small green spout, it was mature and was well on it’s way to changing from it’s brilliant green to a putrid brown. But it was then that I realized that people are a lot like corn.

When they are young, the winds can come and the storms can blow but the corn has amazing resiliency. It may have it’s dobber down for a few hours but with the morning sun, amazingly by the end of a single say, it once again points

Living with classic values, in Amish peace In her book, “Amish Peace,” Suzanne Woods Fisher talks about how we can cultivate Amish values without becoming Amish. As I read about the Amish attitude toward money, I couldn’t help but wonder if perhaps Dave Ramsey spent some time with this people after his bankruptcy, except the FOR THE Amish aren’t getting rich from their teaching. RECORD An Amish proverb reveals the wisdom of this people: “He who has no money is poor; he BY PAM who has nothing but money is even poorer.” ROBINSON Fisher relates how the Amish work their farms and their businesses to keep a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, food on their tables and a horse hitched to their buggies. They don’t store up material possessions, including much technology. They use money for living, not for luxuries. Simplicity brings them peace.

The Amish definition of a successful life differs greatly from that of many Americans. We depend on things – fast cars, designer clothes, big screen TVs – to define us. We believe things make us somebody. We may say clothes don’t make the person and money doesn’t buy happiness, but our spending habits betray our words. Many Americans indulge, for example, in recreational shopping. It’s mood altering. It makes us feel good (i.e., important, powerful,

beautiful) to have “stuff.” The more “things,” the better our self-esteem—at least until we can’t pay the credit card bill.

Unfortunately, the cost of a materialistic definition of success is often constant worry about money. There’s never enough of it. We always have to have more in order to keep up with the Joneses. Loss of our peace is the price we pay.

The Amish don’t need an economic recession to force them into cutting back on non-essentials. They live without them already. With the rising costs of necessities, food and clothing and fuel, perhaps all of us may learn to value ourselves “in the natural” without the “makeup” of materialism.

We do well if we learn from the Amish to value living in harmony with nature, family, community and God. Then, all our needs will truly be met.

Fisher highlights a Bible verse often quoted in the Amish church: “Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me; lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain” (Proverbs 30:8-9 KJV). If we live in simple moderation, we may indeed discover the peace of the Amish without becoming Amish.

Letters to the Editor

Gavel Gamut’s “River Days” If an idea for a public event makes sense and then is well executed, a tradition can result immediately. Mt. Vernon River Days arose from the public spiritedness of Becky Higgins and many other good citizens. This will be its fourth year. It is already a positive, fun-filled Posey County traGAVEL dition.

Becky will be the first to GAMUT point out she is only one of the good folks who have long BY JUDGE recognized our front door JIM REDWINE and most important geological feature is the Ohio River.

For well over two hundred years of European occupation in Posey County the Ohio and its little sister, the Wabash River, have defined our culture and our economy.

Rich farmland, means of transportation, water for humans, stock animals and irrigation are but a few of the many benefits we enjoy due to our rivers. Ergo, River Days seems particularly appropriate for a Posey County celebration.

And since so many of our early settlers were German, a fest to usher in the harvest season and autumn follows natu-

rally. However, unlike Germany's Oktoberfest and many of the innumerable strassenfests throughout southern Indiana, the River Days Celebration is alcohol free and, therefore, even more family friendly.

The decision to eschew intoxicating liquors was made consciously in response to problems that frequently marred some of our earlier street fairs. Of course, it was always a tiny minority of self-centered rowdies that embarrassed themselves and interfered with everyone else's enjoyment.

However, alcohol was virtually guaranteed to be involved.

And our law officers were required to concentrate on this small lawless element instead of being able to help with general welfare. In addition, in my line of work one could always rely on a plethora of unnecessary court appearances by officers, victims, court staff and others.

Now, I have no brief against the long and colorful tradition of such celebrations as Germania Maennerchor and other fun events. The availability of spirits does not require boorish behavior. But, it is just a nice element of our new tradition of River Days that families can attend all events and, when they do, they need not fear encountering someone whose inhibitions are not inhibited.

Guest Editorial “It’s ‘Labor’ Day, Not ‘Union’ Day” by Mark Mix Most Americans realize that Labor Day is about celebrating workers, not union bosses, but that won’t stop Big Labor’s apologists from stealing to spotlight to demand more power.

The fact is that modern unions are built on the legal privilege of compulsion. In 28 states without Right to Work laws, nonunion employees can be fired for refusing to pay union dues. Millions more nonunion workers have no choice but to accept union bargaining over their wages and working conditions.

What’s more, union officials routinely funnel nonunion workers’ dues into political campaigns aimed at defending or expanding their already extensive special privileges. As legislators from Wisconsin to Ohio can attest, this perverse cycle has made it extremely difficult to roll back union bosses’ workplace powers.

Big Labor thrives on a system of government-granted special privileges. But what do workers get out of this arrangement? According to union apologists, they’d be helpless without it. But the facts reveal a different story.

Compulsory unionism makes union bosses unaccountable to rank-and-file workers, whose financial support is absolutely mandatory. After all, why should union officials bother with the hard work of representing employees if they’re sitting on a forced-dues revenue stream guaranteed by the government?

The flood of forced-dues cash also breeds extravagance, abuse, and corruption. Now that Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis has rescinded several modest union disclosure regulations, workers have even less insight into how their hard-earned dues are being spent. The results are utterly predictable: Union boss spending sprees and forced-dues funded political activism take precedence over protecting worker rights.

According to The Wall Street Journal, AFSCME – the powerful government employee union – was the single largest political spender in the 2010 elections. And that’s just the tip of Big Labor’s $1 billion mid-term spending spree. Meanwhile, the AFL-CIO hosted its annual conference at Miami’s posh Fontainebleau Hotel in the depths of the 2009 recession. In

2008, The Chicago Sun-Times reported that over $25 million from five union pension funds had been diverted to all sorts of unsavory activities, including strip clubs, horse farms, and a lavish Las Vegas getaway.

Union operatives aren’t above resorting to intimidation to protect their forced-dues fiefdom. Just ask workers at Boeing’s Charleston Dreamliner plant, whose jobs are at risk because International Association of Machinist union bosses can’t stand the thought of any of the aerospace giant’s employees escaping their forced-dues clutches.

Instead of building Dreamliners at their unionized Seattle facilities, Boeing chose to locate production in South Carolina, a state whose popular Right to Work law ensures that no worker can be forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment.

IAM lawyers responded by filing a spurious complaint with the National Labor Relations Board to force Boeing to move production to Washington State, where any new employees would have to pay union dues.

Never mind the fact that over a thousand Charleston jobs are at risk if IAM lawyers shut down production. For union bosses, protecting their special privileges is the only thing that matters.

In nearly 200 cases nationwide, the National Right to Work Foundation is helping employees stand up for their rights in the face of union operatives’ intimidation, coercion, and even violence. These cases underscore the extreme lengths to which union bosses will go to retaliate against anyone who refuses to toe Big Labor’s line.

Voluntary organizations – from the workplace to your local neighborhood – are quintessentially American. But Big Labor has strayed from its traditions of voluntarism. Instead of persuading workers to join up and pay dues of their own free will, union bosses increasingly rely on coercion to protect their privileged position.

If union officials really want to celebrate Labor Day, they’d renounce their special privileges and free hard-working Americans from compulsory unionism. Otherwise, their talk of “workers’ rights” rings awfully hollow.

directly toward the heavens and resumes it’s growing and maturing process.

But as the corn begins to grow tall and mature, mid-season comes along. Despite the fact that the corn appears to be much more mature, it still needs the rain, the sun, and the attention of the farmer.

But by the fall, as I determined on Saturday night, the corn has matured. There is nothing the farmer can do now except wait for the harvest. He has put the time and money into the planting and the growing seasons but whether the corn is a successful crop and reaps a bountiful yield, is up to the corn and how it has handled the things that have happened along the way. Little if anything can be done to change to outcome.

Then I thought back to a speech that I had heard on Friday night following the North Posey Viking football game.

I heard advice that could just as easily been given from the pulpit at my church on Sunday morning. I had heard similar speeches before but on this night, it all seemed to come together for me.

Carl Joe Gengelbach told his team to enjoy the win and to go out and have fun with their friends. But speaking as the corn might speak when knowing that harvest time is not too far down the road, Gengelbach gave his players the best advice he could give them.

“Think of what you have invested,” Gengelback said, referring to the endless hours of practice in the hot summer sun. “Think of what you have to lose and think of what others stand to lose. If they go out and do something stupid, what do they have to lose? Compare that with what you have to lose. Is it worth the gamble?”

As I sat and watched the browning corn leaves blow in the wind of change Saturday night, it seemed like only yesterday that I was the one who was full of questions. I was the one who would be deciding how much I was willing to invest and where I would invest it. I had to decide whether or not errant ways would be worth the risk. I was the one who had to decide what I would do.

Then I realized that each season of our lives has a significant amount to offer. The spring of our lives offers growth and the opportunity to change and to rebound without significant rehab or therapy. You then grow into adulthood and enter the summer of life where change can still come but at a greater price, effecting not only the stalk but also the future yield, especially later in the summer.

But then there comes the fall, where the yield is already determined. There is still enough life left in the stalk to support the yield and make some change. Those of us in the fall of our lives have been through the spring, the summer, and the early fall. We are able to give advice, not because we have all the answers but we know all the questions.

Every age has something to offer. But young people, pay close attention to those who have lived through the seasons.

Because they, like me, have been there.

Don’t let childish acts bother you After reading Paul Watzlavik’s letter to the editor in the August 31 edition of the Democrat, I decided to write a letter of my own.

As someone who has been around campaigns and politics all my life, I have seen my candidates signs vandalized in every campaign I have ever been associated with. More often than not, it’s teenagers who have no affiliation with either candidate who are responsible for these acts of vandalism.

Most adults are intelligent enough to know better than waste time vandalizing campaign signs. As recently as two weeks ago, Mayor Tucker had issues with vandalism of some of his campaign signs. That includes outright theft of signs as well as individuals pulling disclaimers off signs.

My advice to Mr. Watzlavik is not to take it personally. Young people will continue to do immature things long after we are all gone.

What is more important is that the candidates in this election run on their track record and their ability to lead this community.

Honesty and a positive attitude are some virtues that I would like to see from the candidates in this election.

I think the adults of Mount Vernon are smart enough to decide who they want to lead this city based upon each candidate’s track record and not who has the most signs. Part of being mature is not letting the childish acts of others bother you.

Gish, from Page 1A ingitis last spring.

Gish and several friends established an account at a local bank on Creek’s behalf and held several events to raise money for the account, including motorcycle poker runs, band concerts and a dinner, according to police. A

criminal investigation began in July after Indiana State Police received a complaint. Police said an audit of the account revealed the money was missing.

Krietemeyer was arrested in October at his Evansville residence without

incident and taken to the Posey County jail. He was released on a $5,000 bond and is charged with theft, a class D felony.

His arrest was less than two days after Gish, 44, was arrested and charged for allegedly taking from the account.

Tenth anniversary of 9/11 to be observed Mount Vernon City Councilwoman Becky Higgins has organized a special ceremony on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

Higgins noted that the City of Mount Vernon paid honor to the lives lost immediately following the 9/11 disaster and on the first anniversary of the tragic event. On the tenth anniversary, she said, the city needs once again to pause in remembrance.

The ceremony will start at 7 p.m. on Sunday evening after the River Days tents have all come down. The program includes speeches and prayers by Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker,

Unique treasures abound at The Mews

By Pam Robinson New Harmony artists Tom and Caroline Williams appreciate a good toy story with a happy ending. So they gather vintage toys, both the broken and the beautiful, and breathe new life into them.

Their “Hello! Dollie” greeting card line provides a fine example of their rescue operations.

“I’m not one of these people that have beautiful, fine, old bisque dolls,” Caroline says. “I like dolls that maybe have a broken arm or a bad face because I think they have a lot of character.”

After studying the character of her dolls, Caroline poses them to their best advantage and photographs them for the greeting cards.

“Dolls have different expressions. Like if you tilt their head this way, it says something. Or if it’s that way, it says something else,” she explains.

While Caroline focuses on classic dolls either alone or in groups and places them in typical settings, Tom likes robots, spacemen and cowboys juxtaposed with unconventional backgrounds.

Together, they study their photographs of the dolls and provide a voice for their expressions in greeting card verse. For example, a battered bride and groom adorn the cover of one card that opens onto the line, “What was I thinking?”

The one-liners seem especially suited for those readers with a dry sense of humor.

The Church Street Coffee House provides the perfect venue for the “Hello! Dollie” card line.

More traditional are the vintage toys found in Tom and Caroline’s antique shop, one of the showrooms located in the Mews. These toys have been restored to their original 1950s glory.

The shop includes a variety of additional antiques along with beautiful handmade quilts and sewing notions. Browsers are welcome.

Someday, Tom and Caroline would like to sell Tom’s paintings in their shop as well. Using acrylics on canvas, he creates his own spe-

cial architectural landscapes that he calls “photorealism.”

“He will take a funky looking building and paint it just like it looks. . .,and then he sets these iconic images in outer space,” Caroline comments.

A well-collected artist, Tom sold all his paintings to patrons in California before he and Caroline moved here eight years ago, so he’s starting all over again to create a collection of his work. The nearest to completion depicts the bridge at New Harmony from the vantage point of one looking back into town.

Otherwise, the painting that keeps Tom busy is his interior house painting for New Harmony townspeople such as Eric and Lora Arneberg.

Successful California business owners, Tom and Caroline provided a gourmet kitchen store and adjoining coffee and espresso bar in the Bay area of San Francisco. Then one day, they visited relatives by marriage in New Harmony and fell in love with the town. Four days after the visit, they had purchased their home in New Harmony. Four months after the visit, they had sold their home and business in Petaluma, Calif., had left behind their five grown children and had settled in New Harmony.

“It was kind of meant to be—one of those serendipitous decisions,” Caroline states. “We absolutely love it here. I would never move back to California, and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.”

Soon, Caroline and Tom were involved in their new community, supporting the

Tom and Caroline Williams stand amid the assortment of treasures they have in the Mews. Photo by Pam Robinson Workingmen’s Institute and Under the Beams programming. They consider New Harmony perfect for entertaining their six granddaughters during their frequent visits. Moved by the magic of the place, Caroline speaks eloquently about the magnetic spirituality of New Harmony.

“I like how it makes me feel to be here,” she says.

“Living in the Bay area in California was extremely

hectic and distracting to the inner life. Living here, I feel like I’m a different person.

It’s calming and fulfilling.

My social connections here and my interests are very easily gratified because there is so much here. You almost can’t get to everything here, whether it’s music or cultural events or volunteering. My life is fuller here in a way that’s calming rather than the frantic pace of California. I love that.”

INGREDIENTS 1 pound fresh green beans, ends snipped off and discarded, extra long beans, cut in half if you want Salt 2-3 slices of bacon Black pepper 1 Tbsp lemon juice or cider or red wine vinegar

DIRECTIONS 1. Heat a pot of salted water to a rolling boil (1 Tbsp salt for 2 quarts of water). Add the green beans and boil them for 4-5 minutes, until just tender enough to eat (you may have to cook longer depending on the particular green beans you have). Drain and set aside.

2. 2 While the water is heating up to boil the beans, slowly cook the bacon until crispy in a large sauté pan set over medium-low heat. Use a slotted spoon or a fork to remove the bacon from the pan. Set the bacon on paper towels to sop up the excess fat. You should have about one tablespoon of fat left in the pan. Pour off any fat beyond 1 tablespoon. (Do not pour the fat down the drain or you’ll stop up your drain.) If you have much less fat than a tablespoon left in the pan, add a little olive oil or butter to the pan.

3. 3 Once the green beans are cooked, sauté them over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes in the bacon fat. Dice the bacon and add to the pan and sauté another minute. Put the beans and bacon into a large serving bowl and sprinkle generously with freshly ground black pepper. Toss with lemon juice or vinegar and serve at once.

Yield: Serves 4 as a side dish.

All of the activities of the three-day Mount Vernon River Days Festival on September 9, 10, and 11 will mean some inconveniences, and it is hoped that advanced notices of these detours and closings will help the public prepare for them and be able to participate and enjoy the festival.

Exhibition Marks Tenth Anniversary of 9/11

Through a special exhibition of six photographs that were taken by New York City resident Leah Farrior Streetman in the days following the infamous 9/11 attacks, this nearly incomprehensible event is recalled. Ironically, even though Streetman lives in Manhattan, she was in Washington, D. C. within blocks of the Pentagon when it was struck on September 11. Following the attacks, she quickly returned to New York City and within days recorded these and other images near the World Trade Center site. Ten years later, these photographs provide a moving reminder of this tragic event. In labels accompa-

nying the images, Streetman poignantly describes the sites depicted.

Photographs taken by Streetman were included in the international exhibition and book Here is New York: A Democracy of Photographs and in the exhibition The September 11 Photo Project.

Also included in the exhibit is a moving piece, 9-11 REVISITED, by local artist and teacher, Jon Siau.

Visitors are also invited to view several works of art on display throughout the galleries from the Museum’s permanent collection that have been selected to highlight the themes of hope, endurance,

Skating Rink to open

New exhibit opens at Hoosier Salon Gallery September 9 A new exhibit opens Friday, September 9, at the Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery, 507 Church Street. Featured Indiana artists include Judith Weiss of Noblesville; Steve Dodge of Martinsville; and Jeanne Hilfiker of Indianapolis. The exhibit, sponsored by Kent and Laurie Parker of New Harmony, runs through October 14. Ann and Bob Scarafia will host a public reception for the artists from 5 to 7 on Friday evening.

Artist Judith Weiss is inspired by color, light, nature and personal experience and explains that she focuses on capturing those qualities through plein air painting.

Weiss says that she enjoys sharing her vision through

her paintings and drawings and believes that her work should not be an exact copy of nature, but rather her own interpretation of what she sees.

When asked to describe his approach to painting, Steve Dodge responds that to answer would be like trying to describe his approach to breathing. He just does it. Although he generally works in oil, some of his earlier work was done in pastel. Dodge usually paints landscapes but also likes change, so he frequently takes a reprieve from Mother Nature and turns to human nature. Drawing and painting the human figure or a face is a real test of one’s drawing abilities, he says.

Jeanne Hilfiker explains that art is her passion and a gift from God that has kept her grounded in the business world, where she spends her days, yet carries her mind to places of splendor. As a native Hoosier, she credits her inspiration to Indiana’s rich art history. She believes her perspective, which includes a unique view of the world around her and a positive attitude, will enable her to change the world through art.

The Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. For more information, contact Gallery Director Maggie Rapp at 812-459-9851 or maggierapp@sbcglobal.net.

By Receiving In God Ministries

A true story is told about a well that was dug in the middle of the desert. A small hut was built over the well so a weary traveler who was thirsting to death could find it and live. It was miles away from the nearest water. Only desperate people arrived at this desolate place. When a traveler found the hut, there was a jug of water by the hand pump with a note on it.

The note said, “If you pour the water from the jug into the pump, this deep well will give you all the water you need, but you must

pour the water from the jug in first to prime the pump.

When you leave, be sure and fill the jug up again or the next traveler will not be a ble to get any water from the well.”

Each desperate person had to make a decision whether to drink the water in the jug, or to take the risk of pouring it down the old hand pump in order to prime it. Each time they poured the water out by faith, they knew if the old well was dry, they would die in the desert of thirst. But the fact

that the jug still had water in it gave them hope that someone had traveled that way before and left water in the jug. Once the water was poured out by faith into the pump, they would desperately start pumping the handle and soon, as much water as they could drink would come gushing out.

They had enough water to wash, fill their canteens and drink their fill. But they had to be responsible enough to remember to fill the jug before leaving so the next traveler could get to the water.

If one of them refused to fill the jug, the water would be lost from that time on.

The Bible says, In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

John 7: 37-38. The desert in this story symbolizes the vacuum that God has created in every human. Nothing apart from Him will ever fill this vacuum.

Seeds of the Sower A little girl, when coming into New York with her father, looked in wonder at the Statue of Liberty.

Late that night she said, “Dad, I’ve been thinking about the lady out there in the darkness, holding up the light. She needs someone to help her.”

Yes, she needs each American.

Liberty is more than something to be loved. It’s

By Michael Guido

something to be lived. It’s not only the right to do as we please, but to be pleased to do what is right.

And it’s having the God of righteousness in our hearts that produces the righteousness of God in our lives.

The Bible says, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.”

Way campaign to raise this year’s goal of $640,000.

Keith Spurgeon noted that there are 20 agencies that provide services to Posey County people this year who received United Way of Posey County funds including Albion Fellows Bacon Center, American Red Cross – Posey County Chapter, Buffalo Trace Council – Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Charities, Children’s Learning Center of Posey County, Christian Church Day Care

pion Center, New Harmony Ministry Association, Posey County Council on Aging, Posey County Rehabilitation Services, Rehabilitation Center, Salvation Army, Visiting Nurse Association of Southwestern Indiana, WNIN Radio Reading Service and Willow Tree of Posey County. Last year over 17,400 Posey County residents used the services of at least one of these agencies.

Spurgeon mentioned that The Feed Mill, St. Wendel School, St. Philip School, St. Matthew School, and all three school systems, MSD Mt. Vernon, New Harmony School and MSD North Posey, are Pacesetters this year, running their United Way campaign early to get the drive off to a good start.

Ron Pittman, principal of St. Wendel School, said that last year’s 7th Grade class had named the United Way of Posey County as its service project and worked all year to help support it.

Michelle Hudson introduced the winner of the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award, Jillian Koester, and explained that the Award had been started in 2007 to honor Elizabeth D. Baier’s 25th anniversary as Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County. The Award recognizes an incoming high school senior who resides in Posey County for outstanding leadership, volunteerism, and community involvement.

Jillian Koester, a senior at North Posey High School and daughter of David and Melissa Koester, spoke of her volunteer activities and how much she gains from it.

She will be an ambassador for the United Way of Posey County among her peers and throughout the community for the next year.

Executive Director Elizabeth Baier told the Leadership Givers that their support was making a difference in our community. She said

that through a new matching grant opportunity, increases in the United Way campaign of up to $65,166 could be matched.

Amounts matched will include the contributions of anyone who becomes a Leadership Giver for the first time, the increase in contribution of any Leadership Giver who moves up to another level, the increase of at least $50 of any Leadership Giver, and increases in employee campaigns and company contributions.

Matching funds will be used to help bring Big Brothers/Big Sisters to Posey County, to expand the number of people who can take the Neighbor to Neighbor training, and to increase the services of ECHO Community Health Care to Posey County people.

Elizabeth Baier asked everyone to get involved with the United Way campaign, saying “There could not be a better time for it.”

Individuals using the services of local United Way agencies including the Neighbor to Neighbor program through Community Emergency Assistance, Children’s Learning Center, and the Rehabilitation Center spoke of the importance of having the programs and services available and the impact that these programs and services have on people’s lives. One speaker said that participating in the Neighbor to Neighbor program taught her financial responsibility and now she has a nice place to live, pays her bills on time, saves money, and can be a good example for her children.

The local working mother spoke of using Children’s Learning Center for child care so she could work and not have to worry about having a safe environment.

The family – mother, father, and younger sister of a young girl using the Rehabilitation Center – spoke of how the child was born deaf and how the services had changed their lives because their daughter was able to speak and attend school with other children. The child told the group that she loved school.

The featured speaker of the event was Dr. Thomas Kazee, president of the University of Evansville.

He said that community involvement is very important because it helps to build a stronger community where everyone works together and that the United Way has even more value than providing help to people. It also brings people together and brings other organizations together to do their work. He said “Our community is what it is because of organizations like the United Way.” Jon Neufelder said that Posey County has always been a very generous community, and Keith Spurgeon said the Leadership Givers are answering the challenge to be involved in our community and help those in need.

North Posey hits the jackpot with ‘new’ SRO Smith

By Valerie Werkmeister If someone walked into your office or home and offered you the peace of mind of a safe place to work or live…for free…would you accept their offer? North Posey Junior High Principal Steve Kavanaugh did and the perks didn’t just end at his doorstep. They extend throughout all of the schools in the MSD of North Posey. Thanks to a healthy-sized grant, perfect timing and the power of the pen, North Posey Schools hit the jackpot with former Indiana State Master Trooper Frank Smith as the new School Resource Officer.

Smith, a 31-year-veteran with the state police retired at the end of April. He has been a long-time fixture in the North Posey Schools visiting often, if not daily. The students know him and love him. The teachers and administrators appreciated his presence, so much so, that when Kavanaugh was approached by newly elected Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, about a School Resource Officer position, he jumped at the chance to author a grant to keep Smith in the schools.

The trio was unsure if they could get the Safe Haven Grant that they sought. It was mostly awarded to schools plagued with a high crime rate or high incidences of drugs, truancy and other safety issues. None of these things were problems at North Posey. Kavanaugh believed it was because of Smith’s presence.

“For the past several years, we’ve had a state trooper here that would help with any issues we had here on campus,” Kavanaugh explained.

Administrators worried that climate might change following Smith’s retirement. There is a familiar term used in law enforcement known as voluntary compliance. Sometimes, just by having a police officer present will deter unlawful activity. Apparently, the grant administrators of the Safe Haven Grant agreed. They awarded $12,000 to be used towards Smith’s salary about two weeks before school started. That grant, coupled with an existing Safe Schools, Healthy Students grant, help fund Smith’s salary and the program.

“Our area was very fortunate to get it,” Oeth stated.

Another mitigating factor that helped to sway the grant administrators’ choice was the uniqueness of the rural North Posey area.

Oeth explained the response time is always an issue with the county seat 30 miles away in Mt. Vernon and a short-staffed department.

With Smith on duty in the north end, he will be available for other calls unrelated to the school.

Vikings score early and often in 42-0 romp over Titans

By Dave Pearce The Gibson Southern Titans has the dubious distinction of knocking off perennial Pocket Athletic Conference power Heritage Hills just last year.

The North Posey Vikings were fully aware of what can happen on any given night. So the Vikings rushed out to two first-quarter scores and 35 first-half points on their way to dominating the Titans on Friday night in Poseyville.

All aspects of the North Posey Viking game was clicking on Friday as Viking defense held the Titans to only four first

downs (while gaining 18) and 64 yards of total offense (while rolling to 354).

Although long-time North Posey Coach Carl “Joe” Gengelbach admitted that both teams played hard and his team did play well, he also found room for improvement.

“There during a stretch of the second quarter we had a touchdown called back because of a penalty,” Gengelbach said. “Then we made some mental errors on routes. Those are the type of things we have to improve on and make sure we have everyone on the same page.

The clipping penalty occurred perhaps 15 yards behind the play after Jacob Bender had broken loose for the apparent score. That play actually occurred on a second-and-7 with 10:58 to go in the second period. Ironically, it was a similar situation which resulted in the Vikings’ second touchdown of the first period when quarterback Colton Motz found Bender all alone in the secondary and threw a perfect strike the re-

Wildcats get early break, then succumb to Mount Carmel pressure, Condol

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon football team got the first big break of Friday’s game at Mount Carmel and then promptly let the Golden Aces take over.

Calvin King blocked a punt with 3:19 left in the first quarter at the Snake Pit. Austin Guthrie picked it up and took it 17 yards for a touchdown, but after that the Illinoisans took over. The Golden Aces scored 22 points in the first half en route to a 36-14 romp over the Wildcats in the Big Eight Conference opener for both teams.

The game took place on steamy late summer evening and the opening kickoff was moved back a half hour due to the Tyler Ritzert faces off against Jared Piper in the Snake Pit at Mount Carmel. Ritzert’s acrobatic catch during last heat and humidity, but that wasn’t what wilted the Cats, acweek’s North Posey game earned him the Play of the Week on Channel 25.

“We played awful as a team tonight,” Maier said. “I’m YOU ARE INVITED... very disappointed in how we played, I’m very disappointed that we didn’t play as a team and haven’t played as a team for a couple of weeks now. I’m very disappointed in the fact VIDEO EAR EXAM that we turn the ball over.”

Turnovers were a big factor in the loss, especially in the first half. Mount Vernon’s defense only allowed six first downs, and forced five Mount Carmel fumbles, but the Cats coughed up the ball four times themselves and lost all four, while the Aces hung on twice when they bobbled the ball. ™ Quarterback Craig Isaac was also intercepted once.

Ironically, Maier didn’t think many of the same players who gave it a strong effort defensively played that hard on the other side of the ball.

Vikings, from Page B1 ed in Bender’s first score of the year, a 44-yard pass play.

But in the early going, it was the Motz to Nick Neidig combination that worked to perfection as Neidig managed to come down with a 24-yard scoring pass to open the gates for the Vikings.

But perhaps more than anything, it was the Viking balance and defense that kept the Titans off-balance all evening. The Vikings finished the night with 195 yards through the air and 159 yards on the ground. The Vikings punted only one time.

Motz hit on 11 of 17 passes and did not throw an interception. He finished the night with four passes for touchdowns.

“I thought we practiced very hard this week and I was a little worried about that, coming off of what I thought was a very big win last week,” Gengelbach said. “But they refocused very well and I thought we got a good effort out of a whole bunch of the kids tonight.”

In the team’s first two games, Gengelbach thought his team came out a little sluggish and he indicated that they had worked on that and had talked about coming out ready to play. The result was evident.

Following the two first-quarter touchdowns, the Vikings put three more scores on the board in the final four minutes of the second quarter when Motz hit Neidig from 10 yards out.

Then, with the Viking defense stifling any attempt the Titans made at getting the ball out of the shadow of their own goal post, the Titan punter fumbled the snap and before he could get off a kick, his knee had hit the ground at the five years line.

Reliable running back Wes Harness quickly took advantage of the situation and ran the ball in to give the Vikings a 28-0 lead with 2:31 remaining.

But again, it would be the defense as the Vikings got the ball back and Harness scored again, this time on a 34-yard pass play and the game was out of reach by half-time, 35-0.

Jace Gentil, who has been working on kicking for the Vikings, handled the kicking duties on the final two extra points and had no trouble nailing them right down the middle. Gentil also handled the kick-off duties in the second half, giving two-way started Nick Neidig a break and adding important depth to a team with decent depth already. That depth could have been at least part of the reason the Vikings were able to win the game with such authority.

“The thing that helped us tonight was the fact that in this heat, we are playing a lot of kids right now,” Gengelbach said. “And our younger kids are starting to see things comCheerleader parent Mike Butler gives his daughter a ing a little faster. I thought we got good play out of our lift during spirit night as the North Posey Vikings used a secondary because they knew where to be and how to get big first half to dash Gibson Southern’s hopes of an upset there.” on Friday night. Photo by Dave Pearce Balance was indeed the key word for the Vikings as Harness finished with 80 yards on 17 carries while Eric O’Risky, Wildcats, from Page B1

who played well in the reserve win over Mount Vernon earlier in the week, made the most of his opportunity by garnering 38 yards on eight carries. Jourdan Cox got 36 yards on only seven carries but helped open the holes for Harness.

Colton Martin also finished with 14 yards on four runs.

Gengelbach thought Cox did a nice job blocking for Harness when Cox wasn’t carrying the ball.

“I know Jourdan works very hard at that and he and Wes work with each other and help each other,” Gengelbach said. “This team gives credit to each other a lot and that’s what you strive for all the time because that is the thing that makes the team come together.”

But defense also wins games and Friday was no exception as Travis Reese turned in another stellar performance with eight solo tackles and a tackle assist. Martin finished with two tackles and three assists while Harness had three solo tackles and a quarterback sack. Neidig, Austin Little, and Mitchell Kuhn each had a pair of solo tackles while Alec Werry, Casey Voelker, Derek Voegel, Cox, Bender, Kurt Seibert, Jamon Tapp, Tyler Adkins, Aaron Hensley, and Dylan Wright all had solo tackles. Tapp also had a quarterback sack. Chris O’Risky had a solo tackle and a fumble recovery to go along with a sack.

“I thought our line did a great job because Scheller is a great runner for them,” Gengelbach said. “In the game film we saw of them, they would show pass and he would take off and get a step on you. But we worked hard on contain and I think our kids really did a nice job of keeping him bottled up.”

Gengelbach also had praise for the receivers when it comes to the running game.

“When you watch the film, one of the things that is making our running game go well is the fact that our receivers block,” the coach said. “They are on people from the time the play starts until it ends and that’s the difference between little plays and big plays when we get outside.”

In the air, Neidig caught four passes for 67 yards and two scores while Bender finished with two catches and 54 yards and a score. Jared Reidford caught a pair of passes While Harness had the scoring pass for 34 yards, Martin caught a pass for 15 yards, and Cox caught one for 11 yards.

The other score on the night came when Motz called his own number in the third quarter and went in from the five.

But Gengelbach, as always, told the players to enjoy the game over the weekend but the next one will be on the road at Southridge, where the Raiders narrowly lost to powerhouse Jasper and defeated Forest Park on Friday night.

“We will have to be ready when we go in up there because I guarantee you they will be ready for us,” Gengelbach said.

“They will play hard every down and we will have to be ready to do the same thing.

try. Dallas Cook ran it in and the Aces went up 8-7.

In the second quarter, the Wildcats started making mistakes and the Aces cashed in.

Mount Vernon was starting to move the ball when a fumble on the Wildcat 32-yard line gave the ball back to Mount Carmel. Two plays later, Sheldon Hannah found Condol for a 30-yard pass play. Condol then booted the first of four extra points to give the Aces a 14-8 advantage.

The Cats were forced to start their first four possessions of the night on their own 20-yard line due to Mount Carmel touchbacks. On the fourth one, the Wildcats coughed up the ball again and the Aces recovered on Mount Vernon’s 15yard line. Four plays later, Hannah punched it in form a yard out and Condol’s kick made the score 22-7.

The Wildcat defense made one last stand in the third quarter and the offense tried to get something going even though VanZant had to replace Isaac after the intermission. On one

101 yards, hitting Ritzert from 34 yards out with six seconds to go.

Ritzert hauled in five passes for 90 yards, while Guthrie had a good night defensively, but those bright spots were few and far between.

“There are some guys who play well on defense turn around on offense and don’t play as hard,” Maier said. “So, we’ve got a lot of work to do before we can beat anybody over the rest of the year. I can’t hide my disappointment with how we played and how we’ve been acting as a team.”

The Cats have to change their attitudes, the coach added, but they had some other trouble Friday.

occasion, VanZant was able to move the team to the Mount Carmel five-yard line with 1:35 left in the third quarter, but two straight incompletions on third and fourth down ended that threat.

It was 22-7 Aces at that point and Mount Carmel put the game away soon thereafter, but not before the Cats had some more turnovers. They recovered an Aces fumble on the Mount Carmel 13-yard line 13 seconds into the fourth quarter, but promptly fumbled it back to the Illinoisans, who then marched 86 yards in eight plays with Clark doing the honors on a 25-yard run with 6:32 to go in the game.

Fumbles didn’t play a role in Mount Carmel’s last score of the night, only a 55-yard punt return that got the ball back to the Mount Vernon 23-yard line with 3:04 to go. Chance Schuler took it in from 15 yards out with 90 seconds to go, with Condol adding the extra point to cap the evening.

Mount Vernon Wildcat tennis team takes tight Invitational title

Paced by a sweep of the singles’ spots, the Wildcats edged Vincennes Rivet 18-17 to take the championship of their invitational tournament at the Junior High courts.

“It was a very hot day weather-wise,” coach Vicki Oelmer said. “And it turned out to be a hot day for the Mount Vernon Wildcats.”

The Cats took control of the tournament early and didn’t let up, as they had to overcome a five-team field that the coach said included at least three teams that were capable of winning. Logootee was third with 10 points.

“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” Oelmer said. “We knew of at least three teams that were going to be tough and we knew we were going to have to have good rounds from everybody and not depend on one or two players. That was the really great thing for us that we were able to get critical points from everybody, regardless of whether they lost in one round. They picked it up in the next.”

The Cats offset a sweep of the doubles spots by the Patriots with two championshipround victories over Rivet players at first and second singles to nail down the team title. Jevin Redman and Ross Canada were formidable in winning the top two singles spots, but it was Todd Sheffer who passed the toughest test, as the Wildcat third singles player snapped back from a tough second set loss to beat Mater Dei’s Mike Elpers 6-2, 6-7, 10-4 to chinch the team title for Mount Vernon.

Elpers rallied from a 4-1 deficit to force the Mount Vernon’s Todd Sheffer concen- tiebreaker.

“He (Sheffer)’s playing the hottest part of trates on this forehand return to his Centhe day,” Oelmer explained. “He’s already tral opponent Tuesday evening. Photo by played a couple of matches, or a late match, Dave Koch so he’s getting a little leg-weary and heat was

that he was able to come through in the tiebreaker. It was close, it could have gone either way.”

Sheffer has been in his share of close matches this season where it didn’t look as if he was going to be able to pull it out, but he has, Oelmer said.

As for the top two singles spots, it was no contest.

Redman only dropped three games on the day (something which hasn’t happed in the history of the invite) and took the championship 6-0, 6-0 over Rivet’s Aaron Rea. “He (Redman) has so much confidence in his game right now,” the coach said. “He was facing some solid players and pretty much took it to them. Ross (Canada) did pretty good job, he had a few times where let up, but he quickly got back on track. It was nice to have two players who are a year older and have more experience who were able to lead the way for us.”

Both doubles spots added points, although each was dropped into the consolation round.

Layton Hopper and Seth Reeves finished fourth at first doubles, while Curt Crabtree and Hunter Wilson finished third at second doubles.

“We always work hard to try and compete at doubles and we have a lot of flaws that we still need to work out,” Oelmer explained.

“I was happy and I left it up to my seniors at both spots. I told my seniors (Hopper and Crabtree) ‘this is your day and you take care of business’ and they really did about as well as they could have done.”

But, like the singles players, the doubles spots got points and that contributed to a hot time in Mount Vernon on a hot day.

Mater Dei was fourth in the tourney with seven points, while Central rounded out the field with three.

The Wildcats split their dual meets during the week, as they wound up on opposite ends of two 5-0 scores.

The Cats bounced back on Tuesday to blank the Bears 5-0 at home.

Sheffer needed a tie-breaker at third singles before beating Phil Fefcina 7-6, 6-0, while the rest of spots were mostly all Mount Vernon.

Canada topped Jacob Allbrand 6-3, 6-1 at second singles, while 6-1, 6-0 was the prevailing score at first singles (where Redman dispatched Jack Kiely) and first doubles (Hopper and Reeves over Jacob Murphy and Jacob Plough). Crabtree and Wilson swept Josh Fletcher and Jake Bazen 6-0, 6-0 at second doubles.

The reserves were 3-0 winners over the Bears.

The win came a day after the Cats were swept at Memorial 5-0.

Sheffer came closer than any of the other Mount Vernon spots and still came up short, losing to Ben Johnson 6-1, 6-4, at third singles. Redman lost to Nate Cox 6-0, 6-3 at first singles, while Chad Barron swept Cana-

da 6-0, 6-0 at second singles.

At first doubles, Mark Carver and Spencer Ray topped Hopper and Reeves 6-0, 6-1, and at second doubles, it was Mark Meurillo and Eric Schuttte over Crabtee and Wilson 6-2, 6-0.

The Wildcat reserves didn’t have any better time with the Tigers. They did take a spot, but they still lost 3-1.

“Memorial I wasn’t real happy about,” Oelmer said. “I thought we gave in to some things there. I don’t think we could have beaten Memorial, but I think we could have won more games if we didn’t give in and I told them in practice that it wasn’t going to happen again. We aren’t going to bow down or back off to somebody just because they have a strong reputation.”

They didn’t bow down to Central.

Oelmer thinks the Wildcats are doing well overall this season. The singles are playing well, especially the top two spots. They are still working on combinations and chemistry at the doubles spots, but are also playing well.

“We’re pretty good so far,” the coach said.

“We just have to realize that there will be a lot of close matches this season.”

Wildcat soccer making progress...but too slowly for coach

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team lost a game and tied one last week.

So guess which one coach Travis Kaiser was the most pleased with?

No, it wasn’t the 1-1 tie with visiting Central Thursday.

“I don’t think we played very well,” Kaiser said of the Wildcats’ efforts against Central. “We played enough to get by. We got that goal and we played not to lose and not to win. They put us back on our heels for a majority of the game.”

Kaiser said that the team passed the ball better and shoveled some improvement over their previous games, but he would like for them to take leaps when they’re inching forward.

The defense denied Central until Brandon Schu finished off a shot by Matt Wanzler, putting it past Wildcats’ goalie Seth Wolf with 12:14 left in the game, but even there the Bears’ missed opportunities were due in part of Wildcat defensive breakdowns, according to the coach.

“Towards the end, they were getting stretched out in the back too often,” Kaiser explained. “As it gets late in the game, you’ve got to stay composed, you’ve go to stay organized. They were stretching us out and we were not staying organized, we were not staying composed and we were not winning balls out of the box and so forth and that was causing the majority of their opportunities. They were beating us to the ball and basically outworking us in our own box.”

Alex Austin was quite busy last week, scoring the Cats’ only goal at Washington and then feeding the ball to Michael Cannato for Mount Vernon’s only goal against the Bears.

Austin’s goal Thursday came on one of

four first-half breakaways for the Cats, but it was the only one they could convert, another sore spot with Kaiser, and even that had some rough edges, as Austin followed in a shot off the Central goalkeeper and put it in. “We don’t handle possession very well,” the coach said. “So we can’t get the ball to certain kids. We’re playing defense all the time and we don’t get that many opportunities on breakaways. We had five or six breakaways tonight and we only scored one goal. We have to put at least two in the back of the net.”

While Kaiser thought some of the Bears’ opportunities were what he called “clouded” since the Cats were defending the ball, the Mount Vernon coach was more displeased about the times when opportunity knocked (in the form of one-on-one shots with Central’s goalie) his team didn’t open the door.

The Cats opened the week at Washington Tuesday and came up on the short end of a 5-1 score.

Austin scored the lone goal of the night for the Cats on a penalty kick after Hatchets goalkeeper Cody Chapman came out of the box early in the second half.

“I know we lost 5-1 to Washington,” Kaiser said. “But we were running around the field all day. We looked like we could play three games that night. We ran around all over the field. The intensity was way different.”

Kaiser thought the Cats played hard against the Bears, but the same level of intensity the team had against the Hatchets wasn’t there.

Rappites show flashes of brilliance

By Steve Joos The New Harmony volleyball team had its moments Tuesday, it just didn’t have enough of them.

And then came the third set of their match against the visiting Tecumseh Lady Braves.

The Lady Rappites were highly competitive in the first two sets of their game with the Lady Braves, but the wheels came off in the third contest and that enabled Tecumseh to salt away a 25-18, 25-16, 25-5 victory.

The way the Lady Rappites played in the first two sets drew compliments from Tecumseh coach Katie Johnson, but things unraveled quickly for New Harmony in that third contest, as they fell behind 9-0 before a Lady Braves net error put them on the scoreboard.

“In the first two sets, we played awesome,” New Harmony coach Liz Prewitt said. “We were out there talking, we were having fun, and we were doing our thing. That third match, it was like we didn’t want to be there.”

That was the toughest thing for Prewitt to understand about the third game.

the third contest and never recovered, as Tecumseh scored four points with libero Kara Snow at the line and all but close things out with similar runs by Kamlyn Spivey and Kenzie Duncan.

Those were the kind of runs that made the difference in the first two games as well.

Taking advantage of some weak spots in the Tecumseh defense and aiming for the girls in the Lady Brave rotation who were struggling, New Harmony held a lead for half the opening set and still held a 10-9 advantage when a two points off Stephanie Gresham’s offerings put Tecumseh in front 11-10.

A bump kill knotted things up at 11-11, but New Harmony popped the next volley out of bounds off Alicia Blackwell, putting Tecumseh back in front 12-11.

Four more points off Snow put the Lady Braves in front for good.

“We were just hitting spots,” Prewitt said. “We were playing smart, we were aiming for the girls that were struggling. We were going for those corners, we were going for the middle, and we were going for those spots. We did it, we know we can do it, We just have to do it from start to finish. We just have to finish it.”

The same thing happened in the second set, as New Harmony took a 1-0 lead on a missed Tecumseh serve and kept hanging around,

staying in the mix long enough to take an 11-9 lead until Gresham went back to the line.

Eight serves later, the score was 17-12 Tecumseh and from there, the Lady Braves never looked back.

“There’s a couple of weak spots out there,” Prewitt said. “We’ll just have to continue to adjust and continue to work on it. It’s hard to do with just 11 girls.”

Prewitt complimented Tecumseh on their talent, but she wants her team to learn how to finish.

“Were getting there,” she said. “Start to finish. That’s what we’ve got to do.”

Prewitt said that her team is trying and she’s proud of their efforts, but they just have to learn how to finish things off.

Tuesday’s match was New Harmony’s only contest last week. The Lady Rappites are 1-11 on the year and dropped a recent match at Memorial 25-12, 25-12, 25-13.

Lady Vikings take Hatchets to task Maggie Camp and Allison Koester each shot 40s to lead the Lady Vikings past visiting Washington 182207 Thursday at Cambridge.

Vikings finally able to put pesky Wood Memorial away North Posey’s Jillian Koester comes out of the bunker By Steve Joos on her way to a 40 during this week’s win over WashingOn Thursday, Zach Willard gave the Wood Memorial boys’ soccer team a ton. Maggie Camp also shot 40. Photo by Dave Pearce 1-0 lead in the second half’s first minute during the Trojans’ game with visiting North Posey.

Were the Vikings going to take that lying down?

Nope.

Kyle Swope said “nope” to the Trojans, scoring two goals in the Vikings’ 3-1 win at Mackey.

Wood Memorial had taken the lead when Willard finished a pass from Jeff Williams from close range early in the second half and held on to it until

Swope connected from 12 yards out with 13 minutes to go in the game. Five minutes later, Swope struck again to put North Posey in front.

Swope also had an assist, while Jordan Frymire scored the team’s other goal. Ty Stock and Jace Gentil also helped on goals for the Vikings.

Lady Wildcats appear to be rounding into shape

By Steve Joos With two weeks to go in the regular season, the Mount Vernon girls’ golf team is starting to round into shape.

Kendyl Bourne shot a 36 on Tuesday in leading the Lady Wildcats to a 186-250 win over visiting Bosse at Western Hills Country Club and then carded a 40 to earn medalist honors as the Lady Cats finished second in a triangular at the Mount Carmel Thursday, shooting a 187, compared to 179 for the Lady Aces and 191 for Princeton.

“We’re developing some consistency,” coach Dave Bell said. “Anytime you can play at home and on the road and shooting close to the same score both places, you’re starting to shoot well. If we can continue to shoot like this, we should be in good shape for both the conference and the Sectional.”

Bourne has been the team’s best scorer for the last few matches and she was impressive in both matches, but some of the other Lady Wildcats have also been showing improvement.

Kay Leigh Albright shot a 45 at Mount Carmel and could have done even better if it hadn’t been for one bad hole, according to the coach.

Bailey Ash added a 49 and Kelsey Moye a 53, but Moye’s score still merited some praise from Bell.

“Kelsey has been doing better,” Bell said. “Her scores have continued to drop over the course of the season.”

Mount Vernon senior Kay-Leigh Allbright putts to the The triangular also gave the Lady Cats a chance to see hole during the home match at Western Hills Country where they stand in the Big Eight, with the conference meet a week away, Bell added.

In fact, Moye bettered her score by a stroke from WHCC to Mount Carmel.

Hayley Salaman shot a 62 at Mount Carmel, while Brooke Gwinn added a 65.

Once again, there was no place like home for the Lady Wildcats, as they shot up visiting Bosse Tuesday at Western Hills.

Bourne shot a one-under par 36 to pace the Lady Cats and maybe a few LPGA events, as well, as Albright and Ash each carded 48s for Mount Vernon and Moye rounded out the foursome with a 54.

Bourne’s round could have been even better, but an eagle lipped out on the ninth hole and that kept her score from going lower, Bell said.

Moye’s score was six strokes better than Alexis Medina, who paced the Lady Bulldogs with a 60.

Salmann shot a 65 and Gwinn a 67 for Mount Vernon’s other scores.

“You want to be shooting well when the postseason comes around,” Bell said. “We’ve had a good four matches and we’re getting some consistency. I was pretty pleased with the way we played this week.”

Once again, WHCC was home sweet home, but the Lady Cats will have to compete at Thunderbolt Pass and Fendrich in order to be successful in the post season.

This week, the may have started to develop the kind of consistency that will help there.

"We are very comfortable that he was a dominant player in those burglaries and thefts so our hope is by getting him arrested this is going to make a substantial impact on those cases," says Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat.

It's possible that others are involved and the investigation is continuing.

Hawg-N-Sauce BBQ owner Jeff Schelhorn says the first break-in was in July. The thief made off with only $30 in the cash.

The second break-in was

two weeks later, this time the suspect made off with a safe, laptop, and television.

After hearing about several other businesses also being broke into, Schelhorn says business owners starting getting together.

"We actually met two weeks ago and decided what we could do to help the police."

Mount Vernon police also started doing extra patrol and business sit-in.

Police say this is an ongoing investigation and there could be more people involved.

College sweethearts form Christian bond, give back to community

Long-time educators Robert and Lonna Berridge are Christian in the best sense of the word, revealing their love in action. They serve others as good neighbors from their random acts of kindness, such as dropping off a plate of home-baked chocolate chip cookies to a friend, to significant missions, such as hosting a foreign exchange student from Bosnia.

A Mount Vernon native, Lonna retired just this past year after teaching second and fourth grades for 38 years at West Elementary School. She enjoys the additional time with her family, especially her parents, Mount Vernon natives Jim and Idella Davis. She also loves spending time with her quilting friends, exercise friends and book club friends.

She and Robert have attended First United Methodist Church, the church into which Lonna was born, since settling in Mount Vernon after their marriage in June 1974, one year after they graduated from the University of Evansville. It’s the only church their three children attended growing up. Too numerous to list in

entirety, their past church activities include working with youth in vacation Bible school and the “Hey, God!” program, coordinating Wonderful Wednesday congregation meals and cooking during the 2005 mission trip to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Today, Robert serves as the Sunday school teacher for the Maranatha class while Lonna coordinates the church’s prayer ministry.

Lonna has been passionate about music throughout her life. She sings in First United Methodist’s chancel choir and performs in the church bell choir.

In addition, she plays clarinet in the Wolfgang Orchestra and for the Dixieland Band, which just this past June provided the music for Donna the hippo’s birthday party at the Evansville Zoo. Robert taught from 1973 to 1998 at Castle, North Posey and finally for 16 years at Evansville Day School. For his entire adult life, he has devoted himself to the study of Norman Rockwell. While at Evansville Day School, he led students in creating a life-size mural based on Rockwell’s 1961 painting, “The Golden Rule.” He traveled with the mural

for its dedication in Bosnia, where it has traveled throughout schools there, the home to an exchange student he and Lonna hosted in 1996-1997.

Robert’s business, Berridge & Associates, has created portrait software which transforms portrait photos into Norman Rockwell style paintings and charcoal drawings. The website, www.normanrockwellmoments.com, provides examples of the process. Moreover, Rockwell’s signature art venue, “The Saturday Evening Post” carries Robert’s column dedicated to America’s beloved 20th century artist. Both Robert and Lonna are charter members at the National Council of the Norman Rockwell Museum, which promotes and protects the legacy of Norman Rockwell.

College sweethearts, Robert and Lonna have been blessed with three children. A veterinarian, their daughter Olivia married Steven Petritz from West Lafayette in July 2010, and the couple settled in California’s Napa Valley. Twins Joshua and Caleb live on their own now, too. The oldest by one minute, Joshua is a second year dental student at

the University of Louisville and will serve as an Army dentist for four years when he graduates.

Caleb just recently moved to the Boston area in response to a promotion with the flavoring company, David Michael.

NEW HARMONIE HEALTHCARE OUTPATIENT THERAPY FOR ALL AGES! Jeff attended Physical Therapy three times a week for rehab after hip replacement surgery. He began on a rolling walker and was having some slight pain. During three weeks in outpatient therapy, he progressed JEFF KOESTER to a straight cane and had very little pain.

Jeff was given a strengthening program to continue at home including standing exercises. Jeff made very good progress and was able to return to his some of his daily activities quickly. He chose New Harmonie Healthcare for his rehab needs not only for convenient location, but also for the high quality care and compassion provided by the facility and rehab staff. “I could not have asked for more professional and encouraging care from the entire PT and New Harmonie Healthcare Staff especially my Physical Therapist Megan Bretz”
