Teachers, parents differ on school uniform question By Valerie Werkmeister Could North Posey students be required to wear uniforms next school year? Discussions are underway following the results of recent surveys completed by teachers and parents. Angie Wannemuehler, Director of Curriculum Assessments and Special Programs, presented the results of the survey to school board members during their meeting last Monday, January, 11. The board was pleased to hear a total of 856 people participated in the survey. Responses to the questions ranged from the following choices: strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree or strongly disagree.

According to the survey, teachers and parents are on opposite sides of the question with teachers largely in favor of school uniforms. A total of 56.25 percent of teachers agreed with the idea while 50.18 percent of parents were against the idea. Overwhelmingly, 60.18 percent of teachers felt school culture was the largest factor that influenced their preference for their choice, while 46.25 percent of parents felt it was their own parenting philosophy that influenced their decision. When asked if teachers should also be required to wear uniforms, 44.98 percent of

parents strongly agreed. However, teachers didn’t feel the same way as 35.71 percent strongly disagreed with the idea. Interestingly, both groups were within the same range when it came to answering whether they felt a school uniform would help address the peer pressure issue of fitting in. Twenty-five percent of teachers and 24.24 percent of parents strongly agreed with the statement. Overall, teachers felt school uniforms promoted positive behavior. Only 22.05 percent of parents disagreed with that statement. However, it should also be noted that only

17.50 percent strongly agreed and 20.19 percent agreed. The final survey question asked whether a district-wide dress code of appropriate and modest dress would promote positive student behavior. Both teachers and parents agreed with the statement with 37.50 percent of teachers and 28.94 percent of parents making this choice. The board will continue to gather data on the topic and no final decision was made at this time.

By Valerie Werkmeister The Town of Cynthiana will soon have a new town hall building. Town board members met for their first meeting of the new year last Tuesday, January 12, and approved the purchase of the former Pearison’s Band Shoppe building on Main Street. According to Clerk-Treasurer Greta Mounts, the building will offer twice the amount of space as the current building. The town pays $600 monthly rent for the current facility to owner Ron Oursler, who resides in Spokane, Wash. Mounts said the current town hall building has been in use ever since she became clerk-treasurer 26 years ago and possibly as long as 30 years. The flooring and carpeting needs to be updated as well as the heating and air system. Mounts said the opportunity to purchase the former Pearison’s building came at just the right time. The town must renew its lease in March. “We felt that purchasing our own building for $40,000 was a steal,”

Mounts said. It requires no repairs or renovations, other than maybe a few walls to create office space for Mounts and Cynthiana Town Marshal Andy Porath. The town will use cumulative capital development funds to pay for the purchase. Mounts stated they will begin the process of moving files and items stored in the community center soon. They hope to occupy the new facility before the end of March. New board members Todd Kennedy and Carolyn Price will have a bit of a learning curve to catch up on some of the town projects. After they elected Kennedy as the new board president, they heard information regarding the water and wastewater project. Mounts stated she initially thought the town would need to apply for grant funding by March to move the project forward. She said the state recently informed her the town could have up to another year to apply for funding through the

Posey’s first 2016 baby arrives By Valerie Werkmeister It’s a boy. The new son of Stephanie and David Scheu has the distinction of being the first Posey County baby born this year. Little, or should I say, tall Asher Albert Scheu arrived on Friday, January 8, 2016 at 9 a.m. He weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces and was 21 and three-quarter inches long. He was welcomed home by his two very excited and very anxious siblings, five-year-old Hadlie and four-year-old Eli. “They asked all the time when he was going to be here. We told them he would come after Christmas. So, every day after Christmas, they’ve been asking when he would get here,” Stephanie said.

Asher Albert Scheu Stephanie said he wasn’t due until January 22, but she woke up Friday morning feeling the beginning signs of labor. As her husband

prepared to leave for work, she cautioned him to stay 10 minutes longer. Ten minutes was all it took for them to decide that was the day. Stephanie proceeded to have three more contractions in those 10 minutes. Labor with her other two children went fast, so she and David knew they shouldn’t delay in getting to the hospital. Fortunately, both grandparents live close by in St. Phillips and the soon-to-be-new-again parents were able to arrive at St. Mary’s Hospital in Evansville in time. Paternal grandparents are Patty and Al Scheu and maternal grandparents are Martha and Tom Sitzman.

Posey County. She was feted with a retirement party by coworkers for family and friends on Wednesday afternoon, January 6 at their offices on Main Street and Industrial Road. A goodbye cake, punch, and many kinds of nibbles were served to those who stopped by the open house to reminisce and give out well wishes. “We are really going to miss her. She puts her heart and soul into this work,” said Cindy Eaton, Case Manager of Employment Services.

DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF UNBORN CHILDREN. “Lord Jesus, reawaken in us respect for every unborn life, make us capable of seeing in the fruit of a mother’s womb the miraculous work of the Creator, open our hearts to welcome generously every child that comes into life. Accompany the choices of legislative assemblies with the light of your Spirit, so that peoples and nations may recognize and respect the sacred nature of life, of every human life.” -- Pope Benedict XVI Forty-three years ago the Supreme Court decided a case that would ultimately end the lives of tens of millions of unborn babies. The legalization of abortion through the Roe v. Wade decision allowed the death of up to 1 out of 3 children born in the following generations. On the same day, they released the Doe v. Bolton decision that ultimately made abortion legal up to the day of birth in all 50 states. For forty-three years the United States continues to have one of the most extreme abortion regimes in the world. Today a child, in every context of American law except for abortion, merits her parents’ care and protection. Forty-three years later, women’s health is still a central issue, but scientiﬁc data does not support abortion access as healthy for women. Many women are pressured or even forced into unwanted abortions. In a major survey of American women who had abortions, 64% said they were pressured to do so by others. Their feelings of fear, anxiety, and pain about the abortion procedure itself are compounded by feelings of guilt and anguish about the death of their child. Women who have had abortions are often denied the opportunity to grieve and to resolve the trauma, injustice, and pain they have experienced. Abortion is evil because it takes the innocent, dependent life of a uniquely precious unborn child. Some claim it as a necessary evil because women’s equality depends upon it. Wouldn’t authentic equality instead require that men and society respect, protect, and support women’s childbearing capacity, alongside their many other talents and abilities? Forty-three years later, the pro-life community is as committed as ever to promoting the human dignity of both mother and child. You can join Posey County Right to Life and be a part of protecting all human life. Proceeds from our fundraisers are currently y used to support Birthright, Life Choices, Black Township Trustee Trus oﬃce, and Precious Poseys. These organizations not only co counsel and support women, but nurture a woman before and after the birth of her child.

Business as usual at MV Common Council By Lois Mittino Gray The first Mount Vernon Common Council meeting of the year on January 7 was filled with well wishes for incoming District 2 Councilman Larry Williams with a few tense moments in between. Mayor John Tucker started out by announcing the following appointments: Board of Works, Brian Jeffries and Bill Curtis; Solid Waste District, Larry Williams; and City Attorney, Beth McFadin Higgins. Tucker stated he talked with Council Member Andy Hoehn about serving once again on the Area Plan Commission and Hoehn agreed to stay on it. Tucker said that since this is a council appointment, and not just a mayoral one, a motion must be made to approve Hoehn by consensus. Councilman Curtis made the motion that Hoehn be the Council’s appointment to the Commission. Councilman Williams said he was interested in serving on that commission as well. Attorney Higgins noted there was a motion on the floor, and asked if there was a second. Tucker then asked again and after a long tense pause, the motion died for lack of a second. Councilwoman Becky Higgins moved Williams be appointed to the Area Plan Commission. It was seconded by Jeffries and passed by roll call vote, with Councilman Hoehn abstaining. Tucker asked Hoehn if he would like to do the Solid Waste Committee then, instead of Williams, but he declined. The next organizational item was designating a Mayor Pro Tem. Councilman Curtis has done it for the last four or five years, and he was appointed unanimously to the position. Attorney Higgins reminded the group to get their meeting times on the record. They will be meeting every other Thursday, except for the months there are five Thursdays. In that event, they will only have two meetings a month In other council action: • Larry Robb, Posey County Emergency Director, appeared before the council to present the new county mitigation plan. It is updated every four years and he highlighted some of the changes as the county prepares for natural disasters, such as earthquakes, flooding, or tornadoes. Mitigating things lessen the impact of a disaster. He stressed everyone in the county should sign up for Code Red alerts on their phones so they can be warned of impending concerns quickly. • In legal action, Attorney Higgins conducted the second reading of the ordinance to zone and rezone certain real estate in Mount Vernon. Most of these parcels are located along the river, and there is quite a list. Higgins also conducted the second reading of an ordinance brought to them by Area Plan Commission Director Mindy Bourne. It will clean up language and correct errors that are currently cited in the code. Other legals included second reading of the parking ordinance to establish three handicap spots in front of St. Mathew Church and first reading of an ordinance to establish one spot near Trinity Church. • Higgins explained that all city employees will be required to fill out 99A forms on a daily basis of hours worked, paid time off taken, etc. Earlier in the day, the Board of Works approved the form to use. It is to be turned into the Clerk-Treasurer’s Office with the payroll. The forms, after being signed by the employee, will become part of the em-

ployee file. Higgins concluded by stating State Board of Accounts also requires this be done for audit purposes. • In his District Two report, Councilman Williams asked about the new video recording system. Clerk-Treasurer Christi Sitzman said it is always on and is motion activated. The meetings will be saved onto a USB drive and burned to a disc for viewing on Time Warner. She added they are still trying to get the bugs worked out of it. Williams would really like to see them take advantage of this equipment by putting the meetings on the city website, or YouTube, and possibly live stream it. He noted that the city website is out of date and still lists Sue Shelton as District 1 council person. He suggested an intern or a high school student might be interested in taking charge of updating it. • In his District Three report, Councilman Hoehn said the city had some recent heavy rains and it appears that the rain garden at the old Russell Trailer Park has held pretty well. He added, “It was a good mitigation project, it has worked well, and it looks good.” • In her report, Councilwoman-at-Large Becky Higgins announced she would bring up the ‘white elephant in the room,’ that being the flashing light at Fourth and Walnut Streets. She asked Mayor Tucker if he had heard from INDOT yet. He replied no, and she observed that it has been yellow flashing for about 90 days now and from what she can see, it isn’t helping much. Traffic still gets backed up during certain times of the day. Nancy Sexton, a citizen in the audience, said she is out walking quite a bit and watches that area a lot. She thinks Fourth Street traffic moves much better now, though there are still a lot of trucks. She stated walkers can cross the street easily, too. Councilwoman Higgins continued her report by stating the first meeting for River Days will be January 19. This year marks the second annual ‘Thank You Blue Week’ and it will be held during the last full week in January. She invited everyone to the city’s first Bicentennial event, the opening of the time capsule on January 30 at 1 p.m. at the police and fire station, in the training room. • Sewer Chairman Williams told the others he went to the sewer department today to meet the employees. Former Councilman Steve Fuelling accompanied him and they are starting to work on a budget and will be asking some other people for help. • Under Old Business, Councilman Jeffries reported that a nuisance ordinance committee meeting was held on December 20, 2015. They are still gathering information and Councilman Hoehn will get the proposal to Attorney Higgins. • The Mayor reminded everyone that year end reports are due by February 4, ten copies each. • Acting as the Water Utility Board, Water Superintendent Chuck Gray was proud to announce that the new water plant construction is finished. The automatic transfer switch just arrived and it is one big piece of equipment, four feet by eight feet in size. After that is wired up, everything will “be good to go for a January 18 test startup to fire up the filters and turn on the ultraviolet light disinfection lamps.” He estimated it will all be fully operational by the middle of February.

‘Baby’ continued from Page A1 Stephanie said with the start of the first contraction to the time he was born only took three hours. Asher stayed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) following his birth until Saturday evening due to some breathing issues. “He’s doing just great now,” his mom happily reported. St. Mary’s Hospital spokesman, Randy Capehart said, “It’s great to see

a growing family like the Scheu’s use our hospital. We are here if they need us for continued family support, education and breastfeeding programs.” Capehart said St. Mary’s is the only hospital in the area to have earned the Babies Friendly designation. The honor was earned through the establishment of their parent education and breastfeeding programs available to all parents.

When asked how Hadlie and Eli feel about their new little brother, Stephanie responded, “They adore him. They are just over the moon in love with him.” Stephanie will enjoy her 12-week maternity leave with her new son and children before she returns to work as a first grade teacher at Lodge Elementary School in Evansville. David works in construction with Skanska.

OPINION

Weekend with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is humbling experience This weekend, I met aging and apathy headon. I spent a large part of the weekend with some old friends and met some new ones. Every year about this time, and for the past 37 years, an old friend invites many of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old tennis conďŹ dants to a weekend at Kenlake Resort in Aurora, Ky. It had been several years T ... since I had made time for the S event. With some last-minute T encouragement from my F

wife, I took Friday and Sat- B D urday away from my pair of P jobs to see old friends, enjoy company, and attempt to play a little tennis again. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I came face-to-face with the aforementioned aging and apathy. For the past nine years, I have spent very little time enjoying life outside of work. Like most everyone, I enjoy being able to pay my bills and having food on the table. But my two lines of work keep me surrounded by friends so there are worse situations. But when I took to the tennis court for the ďŹ rst time on Friday, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how much bigger the court is now that it was when I played on a regular basis. Facing college students whose serve comes in fairly consistently at around 130 miles per hour, I quickly realized that they obviously have made the courts larger because these guys hit the ball in places that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; people cannot retrieve. I also rapidly realized the truth in one of the things my mom always told me. She always said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use it, you will lose it.â&#x20AC;? Nowhere was that more evident than when I attempted to play tennis competitively for the ďŹ rst time in many years. I have lost most of my mobility and it

seemed like all of my timing. From the way I remember myself playing tennis to the way I was playing now, the demon of age had obviously ravaged my body. But spending time with probably the best friend I ever had, Robert Largent, was one of the highlights of the weekend. Bob has a way of making you feel good about yourself, even when in the back of your mind, you know you probably shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Most of my tennis ineptness can be explained by the fact that I have hit a tennis ball maybe two times a year for the past eight or ten years. I seldom take time to get away for any kind of meaningful exercise. But after just a few minutes of seeing me in action on the court, Bob reassured me that this weekend was just for fun and good company, not competition. It was good advice. But for anyone with an ounce of competitiveness, you know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never enough to do anything subpar when you know you are capable of doing it better. My part of the tennis was lackluster at best but spending time with old friends again was priceless. We all enjoyed the company and had a lot of fun, much of it at my expense, I might add. For those of you who know anything about tennis, you know it is important to keep newer strings in your racquet for maximum performance. My strings matched my game. Those who play regularly and competitively probably restring about once a month, depending on just how competitively and how often they play. After I had exited the competitive portion of the weekend, I glanced down to see the date of the last stringing of

my racquets. It was October of 2007. The age of not only my strings but also my racquets prompted one of my â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to suggest that I might want to contact the Smithsonian to see if there would be interest in my tennis equipment. I recently read a piece that has been attributed to Steve Jobs, the founder and mastermind of Apple products. It reads like this: The last words of Steve Jobs I have come to the pinnacle of success in business. In the eyes of others, my life has been the symbol of success. However, apart from work, I have little joy. Finally, my wealth is simply a fact to which I am accustomed. At this time, lying on the hospital bed and remembering all my life, I realize that all the accolades and riches of which I was once so proud, have become insigniďŹ cant with my imminent death. In the dark, when I look at green lights, of the equipment for artiďŹ cial respiration and feel the buzz of their mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of my approaching death looming over me. Only now do I understand that once you accumulate enough money for the rest of your life, you have to pursue objectives that are not related to wealth. It should be something more important: For example, stories of love, art, dreams of my childhood. No, stop pursuing wealth, it can only make a person into a twisted being, just like me. God has made us one way, we can feel the love in the heart of each of us, and not illusions built by fame or money, like I made in my

life. I cannot take them with me. I can only take with me the memories that were strengthened by love. This is the true wealth that will follow you; will accompany you, he will give strength and light to go ahead. Love can travel thousands of miles and so life has no limits. Move to where you want to go. Strive to reach the goals you want to achieve. Everything is in your heart and in your hands. What is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most expensive bed? The hospital bed. You, if you have money, you can hire someone to drive your car, but you cannot hire someone to take your illness that is killing you. Material things lost can be found. But one thing you can never ďŹ nd when you lose: life. Whatever stage of life where we are right now, at the end we will have to face the day when the curtain falls. Please treasure your family love, love for your spouse, love for your friends. If a man with the success and wealth of Jobs realizes the importance of family and friends, how much more should I do the same? As I looked around this weekend, I saw what time can do to the body. However, time can dampen the spirit only if we allow it. So in the coming year, I plan to update my tennis equipment, spend a little more time on the court and in the gym, but most importantly, I want to spend more time appreciating my family and friends. I still have to make time for work because I have to eat. We all are diďŹ&#x20AC;erent and have different ways of showing what we feel inside. But rest assured, if you have touched my life in a positive way, you are my friend.

Guest Editorial: Greg Allen Presidential Thoughts, Then, And Now President Obama recently gave his final State of the Union address. The legacy of his presidency will be the subject of debate for quite some time, but current conjecture, by many, would assert heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst president Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever had. Opinions of Barack Obama no doubt run the gamut. However, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m of the opinion words matter and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a reflection of what resides within a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soul. For the sake of analysis, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll dive into the thoughts of probably one of the greatest presidents America has ever had and those of our current one. Today, the United States Constitution is constantly being subverted - yet, Abraham Lincoln cautioned: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. And not to Democrats alone do I make this appeal, but to all who love these great and true principles.â&#x20AC;? (August 27, 1856) Abe boasted that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence.â&#x20AC;? (February 22, 1861) Lincoln asserted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let us turn this government back into the channel in which the framers of the Constitution originally placed it.â&#x20AC;? (July 10, 1858) â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people are the rightful masters of both congresses and courts - not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it.â&#x20AC;? (September 17, 1859) Not to the extent it was in the 1860s, but America is still deeply divided along racial lines. Many say the President is complicit

in that - â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Divider in Chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was a recent best-selling book. Mr. Obama claimed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pit Red America against Blue America. I want to be President of the United States of America.â&#x20AC;? (Nov. 10, 2007) In a 2008 speech, presidential candidate Barack Obama said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.â&#x20AC;? When Barack Obama ran for office he said his administration would be the most trustworthy and transparent in history, but the exact opposite has rung true. Abraham Lincoln claimed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.â&#x20AC;? (August 11, 1846) In 2004, Mr. Obama said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can participate in the political process without fear of retribution and that our votes will be counted - or at least, most of the time.â&#x20AC;? That statement has a disclaimer at the end and the IRS would indeed dish out retribution after that was targeted toward conservative groups. In 2006, The President said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost.â&#x20AC;? (August 28) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americans still believe in an America where anythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

possible - they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think their leaders do.â&#x20AC;? (September 1) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always believe that ultimately, if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership. When we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it results in bad government and politics.â&#x20AC;? (September 25) Abraham Lincoln was assertive in saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.â&#x20AC;? (July 31, 1846) Interesting though, Barack Obama claimed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This notion thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peddled by the religious right that they are oppressed is not true. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cynical ploy to move their agenda ahead. The classic example being that somehow secularists are trying to eliminate Christmas, which strikes me as some kind of manufactured controversy.â&#x20AC;? (Jul. 11, 2006) Mr. Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insights were keen when he said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have understood well that the duty of self-preservation rests solely with the American people.â&#x20AC;? (January 19, 1863) â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the people rise in masses in behalf of the Union and the liberties of their country, truly may it be said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gates of hell shall not prevail against them.â&#x20AC;? (February 11, 1861) Greg Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column, Thinkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Out Loud, has been published bi-monthly since 2009. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an author, nationally syndicated columnist and the founder of Builder of the Spirit in Jamestown, Indiana, a non-profit organization aiding the poor.

Ice, snow, sleet and frostbite are reveled in by Hoosiers who honor school closings and worship tow trucks.

Hoosiers eat breakfast at breakfast time, i.e., before eight a.m. Restaurants in Florida do not even open until nine and Floridians consider it gauche to eat an egg before ten. People in Indiana harness the Ohio and Wabash Rivers for industry and recreation. Florida is also surrounded by water, but the only ones who use the ocean are a few middle aged surfers who greet everyone with, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, Dude.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In summary, Floridians dress funny, talk funny, drive crazy and have no winter. Hoosiers are normal, but freeze half the year. If you want to contact Peg or me before spring, send us a letter.

In the 2016 State of the State Address, Governor Mike Pence called on the Ports of Indiana to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;vigorously exploreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; building the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth port in southeastern Indiana. Here is the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement from Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State of the State Address: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ports have also been spectacular catalysts for job growth. That is why I have called upon the Ports of Indiana to vigorously explore the building of a fourth port in the far southeastern part of our state, which could unleash enormous economic investment throughout the southeast region of our state.â&#x20AC;? The Ports of Indiana is a statewide port authority created by state legislature in 1961 that operates three ports on the Ohio River and Lake Michigan. The three ports include Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor (opened in 1970) on Lake Michigan and two ports on the Ohio River: Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon (opened in 1976) and Port of Indiana-Jeffersonville (opened in 1985). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very gratifying that Governor Pence sees our ports and marine highways as vital parts of his transportation, infrastructure and economic development initiatives,â&#x20AC;? said Rich Cooper, CEO for the Ports of Indiana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has asked us to explore the development of a new port in a southeast Indiana area that has long been very intriguing to us and is highly worthy of a closer look. We share the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s belief that there is tremendous op-

portunity for Indiana to build on its past port successes and further leverage its access to railroads, highways, and the Gulf of Mexico via the Ohio River to generate economic development opportunities in a new region of our state.â&#x20AC;? The mission of the Ports of Indiana is to develop and maintain a world-class port system that operates as an agile, strategically-driven, selffunded enterprise dedicated to growing Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. Funding for the creation of Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three ports was provided by state appropriations, but ongoing operations and capital investments are funded by the Ports of Indiana through operating revenues. Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two existing river ports have a combined economic impact of over $2 billion per year and support 15,000 total jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to build on this success and further leverage synergies between our existing ports,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel fortunate that our Governor and our state legislators have been very supportive of our port system and truly understand the beneďŹ ts of having a robust multimodal transportation network that supports business growth and economic development. We look forward to working with community leaders in southeast Indiana as well as our public and private partners to pursue the next steps for the potential development of a new port.â&#x20AC;?

Posey GOP chooses Meighen as new

Commissioner Jerry Walden, Treasurer Justin White, and Commissioners Carl Schmitz file for their intention to run for the offices they currently hold during the first week of filing this week. Photo submitted

‘Cynthiana’ continued from Page A1 Office of Community and Rural Affairs. They have already completed a $40,000 planning grant to help identify the needs of their facilities. Mounts said the new board will need to determine what part of the project to tackle first, water or wastewater. They have received project cost estimates of $2.5 million for both projects. The town would need to provide a minimum of 10 percent of the project costs for their portion. She added the town would most likely need to do the wastewater treatment project first, which has been estimated to cost $500,000. Kennedy and Price will need to familiarize themselves with the projects before a final decision with the third board member, Gary Smith, can be made The board decided to institute a six-month review period for Porath. Mounts stated this was in order so the board can determine their expectations for him in this position. They also approved Porath’s request to purchase a new laptop. He has not had a dedi-

cated laptop for use in his capacity as the town marshal. He currently uses one from his full-time job as Posey County Sheriff’s Deputy. The board approved his request. He will need to review laptop and software options before making a purchase. The implementation of a Neighborhood Watch program was considered. The board will review program requirements and may consult Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers before moving forward. The board tabled the topic to discuss during the next meeting. A new attorney was hired to replace longtime board attoney, Jeff Ahlers. Jacob Weis of William H. Bender law firm was chosen to represent the town board. Two non-working generators were declared as surplus and will be sold for $1,000 to an interested buyer. Mounts added the generators are old and parts to repair them can no longer be obtained. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 9, at 6 p.m. in the town hall.

By Dave Pearce The Posey County Republican Party announced on Saturday that Sarah Beth Meighen has been selected as the new Posey County Auditor. Meighen was chosen in a caucus of county precinct committee people on Saturday morning. “As a former auditor with the Indiana State Board of Accounts, an internal auditor at Accuride Corporation and Old National Bank, and former employee of the Posey County Assessor’s Office, Sarah Beth brings a wide array of knowledge and experience to her new position,” said Posey County Republican Chairman Greg Newman. “We thank her for her eagerness to serve the people of Posey County and welcome her as Auditor.” She will replace Kyle Haney who resigned recently to take a position in the private sector. Meighen, originally from Henderson, Ky., has a degree in accounting from the University of Southern Ind. She is married to Michael Meighen, International Director of Health, Safety and Environmental for SUEK, a Russian Coal Company. They have one son, Hank Partridge. The mother of the eight-year-old is obviously proud of her son who attends St. Matthew School. He shared that he plays piano, soccer and was the 50- to 55-pound weight bracket Mount Vernon City Champion for 2015. She has called Posey

PVFD growing, Mayo takes office By Valerie Werkmeister The Poseyville Volunteer Fire Department is slowly growing in numbers. During last Wednesday’s Poseyville Town Council meeting, learned from fire chief Sam Martin of a few new recruits. Martin requested the council’s approval to add Pat Hyatt, Robert Jesse Hyatt, Patrick Allen and Jamie Hyatt to the ranks. In addition, Levi Hyatt would like to serve as a cadet. Fire department members had already approved their membership. The council approved his request. Martin also stated former fire chief Michael Crawford was recently elected to serve as a captain while Austin Ahrens was chosen as the lieutenant. Crawford recently returned to the fire department after relocating back to the area with a job transfer. Martin commended the snow removal efforts from city streets by the town street department during the recent snowstorm. Council members also expressed their appreciation of city employees who strive to do a good job to keep the roads safe. Julie Mayo is now serving in her new role as clerk/treasurer. She informed the council she has chosen Diana Powell and Lynda Baker as her deputy clerk/treasurers who may sign documents on the various town accounts. She reminded audience members and the council that utilities will be disconnected upon the first of each month if utility bills are not paid. Mayo and council president, Bruce Baker, have repeatedly stated in the past the town is willing to work out payment options with its utility customers. Before utilities are disconnected, customers are encouraged to contact Mayo at the town hall. Mayo also requested the council pass Resolution 201601-13-01 for a $60,000 surety bond regarding her position as clerk/treasurer. The bond is required by the state as a means to protect the town in the event Mayo is ever found mishandling town funds. Council members then approved ordinance 2016-01-13-01 that set a blanket bond for coverage of the town marshal, dep-

uty marshals and deputy clerks for the same circumstances. Town employee Jeremy Farrar stated utility department employees have been working to replace a water filter, however they are waiting for the parts to arrive from the manufacturer. The new building under construction that will expand the size of the town garage and its storage capacity is nearing completion. Once the new garage doors arrive, they will be installed so the inside can be completed. Farrar stated employees have been able to move some of their machinery and equipment to the new structure already. Farrar also stated the new generator has been installed at the community center. The generator was purchased through grant funds and will serve the community in the event of an emergency or natural disaster. Prospective Eagle Scout, Kyle Payne, attended the meeting to learn about town government and how it operates. Baker and council attorney, William H. Bender, explained a few of the council duties. The council reviewed the status of a nuisance ordinance violation on property at 56 West Fletchall Street, owned by Michael and Linda Yancey. Bender stated his associate, Jake Weis and town marshal Doug Saltzman spoke with the Yancey’s to explain the town would aid in the clean-up and removal of debris from their property. The Yancey’s were given until January 13, to be in compliance or respond to the assistance offer. Bender stated he would need to confirm with Weis they had, in fact, not responded before the town should proceed with assessing tickets and fines. The council approved moving forward with fines if Bender confirms the Yancey’s did not contact Weis. John Taylor, Director of the Economic Development Commission, informed council members a dinner and presentation has been planned for February 18, at 6 p.m. at the New Harmony Inn. He declined to elaborate on the subject matter, but encouraged the council to attend. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 10, at 4:30 p.m. in the town hall.

Sarah Beth Meighen County home since 2006. The family moved from New Harmony to Mount Vernon in 2014. They are very involved in St. Matthew Church. Her husband Michael is head of Parish Council and is a member of the Buildings and Grounds Committee. Meighen is on the Marketing Committee for the school. “We enjoy living in Posey County,” she declared. “I started my accounting career in audit with the Indiana State Board of Accounts in 2003, just after my USI graduation,” Meighen explained. “I was a Field Examiner there for two-and-a-

half years. My specialty was auditing county seats and school corporations.” Meighen left SBOA and accepted a position at Accuride Corporation. She began there as an auditor, was promoted to Senior Internal Auditor and then to Internal Audit Manager. Following the running of the $1 billion company’s entire Internal Audit Department, she left Accuride in 2011 to pursue full time motherhood. She enjoyed the next four years as a full-time mother but re-entered the workforce as a Senior Internal Auditor at Old National Bank. She has resigned her position there. “We would like to thank Kyle Haney for his outstanding leadership as Posey County Auditor,” Newman said of the outgoing auditor. “Kyle served in his position with integrity and professionalism and was dedicated to serving the best interests of the people of Posey County. We wish him well as he begins his new endeavors.”

Local firefighters were called to an explosion at Mount Vernon’s Valero Renewable Fuels on Monday morning at approximately 4:30 a.m. According to a Valero spokesman, “Early this morning, there was an incident involving a fire at the Valero Renewables-Mount Vernon plant that was quickly extinguished. No injuries were reported, and there was no impact on the community. The cause is under investigation.” Photo by Zach Straw

‘Verville’ continued from Page A1 said Production Coordinator Denise Baugh. Another function of the Rehabilitation Center is to provide jobs for some of the clients who work there at the center on special production contracts, such as with SABIC. All in all, about 80 persons are using services right now. Jerilyn Erwin, who serves as the case manager for individuals, says Jackie “wears many hats in her job. She can really go with the flow.” Jackie, who originally hails from Minnesota, has lived in the Evansville area for 42 years. Her twin sons, Chris and Craig, graduated from Central High School. Now grown with children of their own, both boys live in Florida. Jackie and her husband, Tom, will shuttle between Sarasota and Tampa to visit grandchildren. The pair plans to buy a home in Florida as soon as they sell their east side Evansville home. Jackie is in Florida now and Tom stayed behind to coordinate the home sale. In between relaxing, Tom and Jackie plan to travel to the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park this year. Jackie loves to sew and made many aprons used by the workers. Jackie’s replacement as Vice President is Chris Imes. The Evansville native started in the position in October so Jackie could help train him. Imes has a Master’s Degree in Family Life from Concordia University in Nebraska. He lives in Newburgh with his wife and three sons. He hopes to increase the number of persons receiving services and will network with the community to get more in-house job contracts. Kelly Schneider, Executive Director of Easter Seals of Southwest Indiana, remarked, “We have been so fortunate to have Jackie here for so long as she functions so independently. Now we’re excited for Christ to carry her work forward.”

‘Uniform’ continued from Page A1 Teachers at the junior high and high school were also asked via survey their opinions on instituting block scheduling. This schedule would hold classes on certain days for longer periods of time rather than on a daily schedule. At the junior high, seven teachers agreed with the idea; six did not want that type of schedule and five had no opinion. At the high school, 12 teachers said yes to the idea while nine said no. Eight teachers did not have an opinion. Based on these results, Dr. Camp did not feel he should recommend block scheduling to be instituted now. He stated it’s something they could continue to explore, but it would be on the ‘back burner’ for now. As is customary with the start of the new year, school board attorney William H. Bender conducted elections for board officer positions. The board decided to elect Amy Will as the new secretary. She will also serve as the board’s Policy Liaison. Vince Oakley has held the position for the past year. He will continue in his capacity as the Legislative Liaison. The remaining board members will retain their current positions. Geoff Gentil will continue as board president and president of the board of finance; Brett Stock will

continue as the Treasurer of the Board of Finance; Greg Schmitt will serve as vicepresident; Carol Lupfer will serve as the treasurer and Jayme Bender is the deputy treasurer. In turn, the board also kept Bender as their board attorney. Board members also decided to continue the long-time trend of retaining their current salaries and not asking for any additional funds to attend special meetings. They are paid a $2,000 stipend plus $100 per meeting for a total annual salary of $3,200. Conflict of interest statements were signed by Oakley, Will, Gentil, Schmitt and Angela Wannemuehler. Camp listed several policies he would like the board to review in time for the February meeting. He commended the districts’ ability to create their own policies rather than hiring an outside firm to handle the matter. He explained other school dis-

tricts pay as much as $15,000 to a firm that handles the task for them. Policies under review include: asbestos, board compensation, copyrighted words, food service, homeless children, parental participation in Title 1, patriotic ceremonies and observances, retention, special education least restrictive environment and surrogate parent, and weapons. Gentil also suggested a revision of the chaperone policy to include male and female chaperones when necessary. Other board approvals included: • A request from Nancy Dougan and the MSD of North Posey cooks to use the high school kitchen on January 22 and 23 to make egg rolls. Funds raised from the sale of the egg rolls is donated to North Posey Relay for Life, Cookin’ Friends team. • A request by Alysa Cox to use the high school on Satur-

day, February 20, from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. for a cheer clinic. • A request by Jamie Deuerling to use the high school on February 6, from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. for a dance clinic. Participants will perform during halftime at boys’ basketball games later that evening. • A request from Ezra Leslie, the high school band and choir director, to take Tabitha Wildman and Destiny Gish to participate in All-State Honor Choir in Ft. Wayne on January 14 -16. He was also granted approval to take Austin Lee and Sarah May to AllState Honor Band in Terre Haute on January 22 – 24. • A request by Mike Wassmer to take qualifying FFA

students to the National Farm Machinery show in Louisville, Ky., on February 10. Their expenses are paid through the FFA fund. • A request by Marilyn Rogers to take eligible students in Physics, Calculus and AP English on the annual trip to Chicago March 12 – 15. Their expenses are paid through the corporation’s general fund and the students. • A request by Nancy Dougan to purchase a heated proofing cabinet at North Elementary School (NES) cafeteria from C & T Design for $1,785.90. Cafeteria funds will pay for the cabinet. • FMLA requests from NES teacher, Jenny Wig-

gins, for leave from January 4 through approximately January 30; and high school teacher Carrie Schmitt for leave from February 1 until approximately February 12. • A retirement request from Sharon Travers from her position as a cook in the cafeteria at the end of the school year. She has served 19 years in her position. • A resignation request from Ashley Grimes as the girls’ junior high track coach. • A request by junior high principal Steve Kavanaugh to hire Andrew Statham as a long-term substitute music teacher for the second semester; and Austin Little as the junior high wrestling coach.

Sanford shines as Lady Vikings celebrate pair of wins

North Posey Lady Viking basketball coach Larry Kahle presents a basketball to senior guard Kayla Sanford. Sanford recently became the leading 3-point shooter in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings did a signiďŹ cant job of moving up in the Pocket Athletic Conference standings this week with wins over Heritage Hills and Pike Central. And on an individual note, Kayla Sanford shot her way into the North Posey record book. The crafty senior actually broke the record back in December but no one realized just how many of the 3-pointers she had madeâ&#x20AC;Śat least not until Saturdays game against Pike Central. Sanford broke the record that had been set by Jennifer Donner. Going into the season, Sanford needed 24 3-pointers to claim the record. The record had been 136 and Sanford has 164 heading into the remainder of her senior season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She broke it back in mid-December,â&#x20AC;? Kahle said with a smile. But Sanford is more thrilled about two team wins than she was about the individual accolade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thank my friends, family, and especially my teammates for this accomplishment,â&#x20AC;? Sanford said humbly in a post on Facebook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;DeďŹ nitely could not have done it without you guys and all your support.â&#x20AC;? But the Vikings moved out to 12-7 with the two wins this week and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most important statistic. Against the Lady Patriots, a team that had dominated the Vikings just one year ago, the Vikings proved how much they have improved. The Vikings came out ready to play and took a 12-7 lead after the ďŹ rst period. Then a solid defensive eďŹ&#x20AC;ort propelled the Vikings to a 25-13 lead at the half. The decisive quarter came just after the half when the Vikings outscored the Lady Patriots by a count of 18-8 to eventually bring home the 49-32 win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played exceptionally well over at Heritage Hills,â&#x20AC;? North Posey Coach Larry Kahle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ally (Brandenstein) had 20 points and Brooklynn Hamman did a tremendous defensive job on Heritage Hillsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best player, their sophomore center,â&#x20AC;? Kahle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She tore us up last year and for threeand-a-half quarters, Brooke held her to two points. She ended up with eight points but the rest of them came in the fourth quarter, after I took Brooke after the game. And Brook at 10 points to go with that.

Graves breaks record in first Viking win of the season By Dave Pearce The demon has been exorcised! The North Posey Vikings looked like experienced veterans at winning when they defeated the Tecumseh Braves on Friday night at North Posey High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst half was just a real good high school basketball game,â&#x20AC;? North Posey Coach Heath Howington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told our guys coming into the game thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way it would be.â&#x20AC;? Trailing 30-29 at half-time, the Vikings outscored the Braves 16-9 in the third period and 17-5 in the fourth to claim the win. But Howington pointed out that any time you face a team coached by Coach Kevin Oxley, you have to play both hard and well to win. He felt his team did both. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got that out of the way, we can just go out and play,â&#x20AC;? Howington said. North Posey High School Senior Guard Austin Graves hit 5 three-point Field Goals on his way to a game high 25 points. The 3-pointers put him atop the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Time career 3-point record at North Posey as the Vikings won their ďŹ rst game of the season. However, Howington was more impressed with Gravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance on the defensive end of the court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the fourth quarter, Austin dove for a ball and somehow got it to one of his teammates for an easy basket,â&#x20AC;? Howington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was easily his best play of the night. That was probably his best game in a Viking uniform and it had nothing to do with his scoring. It was what he did on both ends of the ďŹ&#x201A;oor.â&#x20AC;? After a back-and-forth ďŹ rst half, it looked like it might be the same old story again as the Braves moved out to a sixpoint lead. But this time, the Vikings seemed to be the team that wanted it the worst. From that point forward, the Vikings outscored the Braves 30-4 to claim the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The second half, I just thought we played a little harder than they did and that usually doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen against a Tecumseh team,â&#x20AC;? Howington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought our guys stepped North Posey senior guard Trent Weber takes the ball up to the challenge.â&#x20AC;? to the basket during a recent Viking game. The team deAt the half, the team adjusted its defense just a bit to try and feated Tecumseh on Friday night. Photo by Dave Pearce switch up the defense to keep the Braves oďŹ&#x20AC; balance.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep track of something called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;punches,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which is three defensive stops in a row,â&#x20AC;? Howington pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had four punches in the second half and that is a season high.â&#x20AC;? But Graves was not the only player to contribute. Jacob Sanford started at the point and despite his job to distributing the ball, he also ďŹ nished with 11 points, ďŹ ve rebounds, three assists and no turnovers, He had one 3-point basket. He played well defensively, too.â&#x20AC;? Six-foot-6 senior Grant Scheller got into foul trouble in the ďŹ rst half of the contest but Howington was proud of the eďŹ&#x20AC;ort he got from the bench. â&#x20AC;&#x153;David Bender, Trent Weber, and Alex Stewart did a great job oďŹ&#x20AC; the bench and Noah Scheller had eight points and eight rebounds,â&#x20AC;? Howington said. Foul trouble limited Grant to six points and ďŹ ve rebounds. Ethan Morlock had ďŹ ve points while Stewart had three and Bender two. The team had only seven turnovers and held the Braves to 14 second-half points â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our crowd was really awesome and I want to credit our student section because they are a huge part of it,â&#x20AC;? Howington said of the fans. But on Saturday night, the Vikings traveled to Forest Park, where the night before the Rangers had moved to 9-3 on the season with an impressive win over a South Spencer team. Despite a season-high six 3-point baskets coming into the contest, it rained 3-pointers on the Vikings in the second half as the Dubois County team ďŹ nished with 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were play8ing one of the hottest teams deďŹ nitely in the PAC and one of the hottest in Southern Indiana,â&#x20AC;? Howington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were 9-3 coming in for a reason.â&#x20AC;? The Vikings got oďŹ&#x20AC; to a great start, with Howington feeling that the team had carried over positive energy from the night before. The Vikings jumped out to a 10-4 lead and forced the Rangers to take a quick time-out in an eďŹ&#x20AC;ort to regroup. The Vikings trailed by two at the quarter break and by seven at the half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forest Park really caught ďŹ re and went to a 1-2-2 halfcourt trap,â&#x20AC;? Howington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They forced us into some turn-

She was a mere 0.15 faster with a time of 1:23.54. Pearl Muensterman topped the field in the 100-yard Butterfly, with a swift 1:08.54 finish. Schirtzinger continues to have an impressive season on the diving board. She scored a 243 and took home top honors in the 1-meter Diving. Gerard scored 218.95, and finished second.

They finished over :25 ahead of the nearest Boonville team. “We aren’t done yet as a team, we still have the Big 8 Conference meet this week at Jasper and Sectionals in the coming weeks,” said Loehr. “We are looking forward to both.”

Lady Wildcats move to 11-9 while boys are even at 6-6 By Brandon Cole The Lady Wildcat’s basketball team has refocused their strategy and come away with three-of-the last four contests. They beat Tecumseh, 46-36 on Tuesday and Heritage Hills 7355 on Friday. In Last week’s action, Mount Vernon held on to a 46-43 victory over Mount Carmel, but fell to Vincennes 71-40. In a low scoring contest, it was Mara Canada who led Mount Vernon on Tuesday, with 15 points. Haley Ritzert pulled down a team high, 12 rebounds. Alexis Nall and Madison Cross tossed in 10 points on the night. The Lady Wildcats were in a tight battle, but were able to pull away in the final quarter, outscoring Tecumseh by six. Learning how to put teams away in the final quarter, will prove invaluable as the post-season begins. On Friday night, the Lady Wildcats continued on their winning ways as they routed Heritage Hills. Nall led all players with 28 points. The Wildcats led, 15-12, going into the second period. At halftime, the two teams were all knotted up at 33 points. The story of the game was the third quarter and the sound defense that Mount Vernon displayed. Making the most of their opportunities, the Lady Wildcats outscored Heritage Hills 25-3 in the third quarter. They pulled away and never looked back. Canada put up a whopping 17 points and Hallie Fisher added 11. Nall led the team with six rebounds. “Mount Carmel was a good win for us,” said head Mount Vernon basketball coach, Doug Blair. “They had two strong girls inside. Their main goal was that they were going to put three girls on Alexis (Nall) every time she got the ball. It was kind of tough in that situation and they tried to play us pretty physical.” The Lady Wildcats proved they are a team and other girls stepped up. “Hallie Fisher had a great game,” said Blair. She scored well for us, came up with some rebounds and also got some deflections.” Fisher finished the game with 12 points, seven rebounds and six steals. Alyssa Smolsky stood at center court as the game began. Right from tipoff, this game turned physical. Both teams

played smothering defense and both got called for a few hard fouls. Some of the fouls went uncalled under the basket, as the refs seemed to be letting the girls play at times. Nall captured a steal off of a Smolsky deflection with 7:26 left in the first, but was unable to connect on the fast break attempt. The Lady Aces got on to the scoreboard first on a fast-break layup, one minute into the game. Smolsky got called for the foul on defense with 6:22 left in the first, with a push. Mara Canada scored the first basket for Mount Vernon shortly after. Canada was fouled as she connected on a layup. She hit her free throw. Mount Carmel fired back with a three-point basket that was all net. After Nall’s layup, the game was tied up at five. With 5:20 left in the first, Smolsky swatted at a Mount Carmel player dribbling in front of her. She made contact with the ball and went diving for it. Canada and Nall rushed in and hit the ground, tying up the ball with two Mount Carmel players. Megan Ghrist came into the game for Smolsky after her second foul. Ghrist played some nice defense and showed little drop off from the substitution. With the game tied at eight, Mount Carmel got away with a charge under the basket. The layup counted and the physicality continued. Hallie Fisher scored on a layup, with :35 left in the first. This brought the score to 14-11 and this is how the first quarter would come to an end. Mount Carmel cut into the lead and just trailed by one at half, 24-23. Going into the final quarter, the game stood at 3734. The two teams went point-for-point in the final quarter. In the end, Mount Vernon came away with the three-point win. The Lady Cats were led by Nall, with 16 points, eight rebounds and seven steals. Canada chipped in with nine points, including 4-5 from the free- throw line. Maddie Cross added five points with tight defense on the guards of Mount Carmel. The Junior Varsity also won by a margin of 35-15. Addie Robinson, Haley Ritzert, Ghrist, Allison Simpson, Emily

Lady Vikings, from Page B1 Kahle also complimented the eﬀorts of Kamryn Brandenstein, who continues to increase her production as she gets stronger after suffering an injury earlier in the season. “Kamryn came oﬀ the bench for some big points again and she has done that for us several games in a row now,” Kahle said. “She can shoot the three and she can drive to the bucket. And Kristin Schorr continues to play well. She has played very well since Christmas break.” Besides Baandenstein and

Hamman, Sanford ﬁnished with eight points and Kamryn Brandenstein seven against Heritage Hills. Jenny Scheller and Kaitlyn Blankenberger had two apiece. But on Saturday, the Vikings struggled a little against Pike Central, as they got the win but had trouble pulling away. “Pike Central then came in with a pretty salty little team. We would pull out to a 10-point lead and they would cut it back to ﬁve. We’d go up 10 again and the next thing you know they are back to

within ﬁve. With about three minutes to go, they pulled to within four and we pulled the ball out.” The Vikings were determined to shoot either layups or free throws down the stretch. The biggest problem with that philosophy is the Lady Vikings struggled at making either one down the stretch but somehow managed to hand on for the win. “Teams have been putting all kinds of pressure on Kayla and she has been doing a good job lately of getting the ball to other people so we can

score other places,” Kahle said. “That way, she doesn’t feel like she has to force it. But Saturday, she scored 16 and Ally had 11 and Brooklynn had nine. Brandenstein came in with a big 3-pointer again.” Both wins came on the strength of complete team efforts, according to the coach. “Against Pike Central, I’ll bet we missed 10 lay-ups and six of them in the fourth quarter,” Kahle said. “They were not uncontested lay-ups but they were shots we should have made. We tried to change our shots a little to try not to get blocked or fouled.” Sanford’s 15 led the team while Ally Brandenstein had 11. Hamman had nine and Kristin Schorr had seven. Kamryn Brandenstein finished with five while Jenny Scheller and Hannah Beshears had two apiece and Blankenberger added a free throw. The Vikings will take on one of the area’s most sought-after players on Wednesday evening when the square off against Evansville Memorial. Six-foot-3 Emily Sullivan has already signed to continue her basketball career at the University of North Carolina. After Wednesday’s game against Memorial, the Vikings will play Saturday at Tell City. The sectional draw will be held on Sunday as this year’s season is rapidly winding down.

Duckworth, Courtney Bourne, Ashley Underwood, Danielle Minton and Nicole Reese all had solid contributions in the victory. “On Saturday, we just started out really sluggish,” said Blair. “They started out 15-2 against us. In the second quarter we came back. We came within one point.” The Lady Wildcats took the lead in the second half. “We actually scored the first basket in the second half, but everything fell apart after that. Vincennes had a couple players out. They were in a situation where they rallied around a couple of girls that were hurt. They really keyed in on Alexis and Mara as well.” The final score was 71-40. “We’re doing a good job working the ball around, but we just really need to do a better job on the defensive end,” said Blair. “Were going to work on getting better defensively. We have to work better on setting screens, on the offensive side. The Lady Wildcats presently have a 11-9 record. “We only have three games left,” said Blair. “Were going to go back to the drawing board and work on a few things. Were going to get back to what we were doing in the beginning of the year. Were going to work on getting some easy points off of our defense.” In Wildcat boys’ action this week, Damon Collins (17) and Walker Paris (12) led the Mount Vernon boy’s basketball team in a losing effort against Vincennes Lincoln (66-46) on Friday. This game evened out the Wildcat’s record at 6-6. Vincennes Lincoln is a tough team with a 10-3 record. Vincennes came out tough from the gates, in the opening quarter. They led 21-12 going into the second period. Mount Vernon fought back in the second. They owned the quarter and narrowed the gap, 27-24, at half. It was really anybody’s game at this point. Vincennes, however pulled away in the third quarter and held on for the 20-point win. Tanner Curtis led the Wildcats in assists, with three. Paris led the team in blocks, with two. Dylan Guthrie led the team with five rebounds. Luke Steinhart (7), Bryce Krizan (6) and Blake Jackson (4) rounded out the team scoring.

Vikings turn the tables on Wildcats, take three of five at Castle By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings turned the tables on Mount Vernon, nearly upset Reitz, and defeated a solid Central squad on Saturday at the Castle Invitational. Earlier in the week, the Vikings handled business at home by defeating Evansville North by a score of 43-30. But Viking Coach Cody Moll was on a high after a successful weekend at Castle. The Vikings were handled easily by one of the state’s best in Castle to open the day but rebounded nicely to take a 3-2 record out of the tournament and prepare for the Pocket Athletic Conference Championships this Saturday at Heritage Hills. The Vikings opened with the homestanding Knights and if they were not awake on Saturday morning, they most certainly were following that match. “They took it to us and they have a very good team,” Moll said of the Knights. “They have kids that want to go there. They have had transfers and move-ins. They have a very solid program and I can’t knock them. They came out and beat us bad. They physically beat us up and I think mentally we were beaten before the match.” While the score was one-sided, Colton Gamblin was the only Viking wrestler to come out with a win against the Knights, although there were other Vikings who were not without their chances. “We were in several matches,” Moll said of his team. “Levi Miller could have won but his guy just kept battling him and battling him. Kaynin Capps was up with ten seconds to go and he got put on his back and lost.” Although Moll said he was not upset with the score, he was upset that some of his wrestlers did not battle the way they are capable of battling. However, they made up for it later in the day. In the second round, the Vikings took on conference rival Tell City, a team they had beaten in a close match earlier in the season. But this time, the Vikings meant business. They defeated the 60-18.

“I told the kids before this match that we had beaten Tell City before and I want to beat them again but I want to see that we have improved… have gotten better,” Moll said. “Last time they scored either 28 or 30 points and this time, they got 18. It was definitely a better match for us. Josh Wiggins was beaten by their best kid but other than that, we were in it in every match.” Following that, the Vikings showed just how much they have improved. Despite losing to Reitz, they narrowed the gap significantly against Reitz, who had man-handled the Vikings in the Harrison tournament earlier in the year. But perhaps the sweetest win came over county Rival Mount Vernon, just a little over a week after the Wildcats had beaten the Vikings decidedly in Mount Vernon. “We lost very badly last time and we lost by only 11 this time, and actually had put ourselves in a position to have an opportunity to win,” Moll said proudly. “It was a big improvement and I was very happy with their efforts. We had a couple of swing matches that made the difference there. We were basically one pin away. I really thought we could have won.” Moll cited a couple of specific notable improvements. Cameron Kendall, who wrestled at 106, lost to his Reitz opponent by 13 points at the Harrison tournament earlier in the season. On Saturday, Kendall defeated the same wrestler by four points. “Cameron is really peaking at the right time and that’s what I want all my wrestlers to do,” Moll said. “But he has really come a long way since the beginning of the year.” At 138, Ryan Martin pinned his Reitz opponent, the same wrestler who had pinned him at Harrison just a few weeks ago. And at Harrison, Levi Miller was beaten by his Reitz opponent but this time, Miller pinned his opponent from the west side. “We had a lot of matches that were reversed in our favor,” Moll said. And then against Central, the school where Moll helped coach just two or three years ago,

Viking win, from Page B1 overs.” The Vikings trailed by as many as 12 in the opening half but a big 3-pointer by Graves and a lay-up at the half-time buzzer cut the lead back to seven. Starting the second half, the Vikings got the basketball ﬁrst and with some good execution, got the ball into Grant Scheller whose basket cut the lead to ﬁve. “From there, we struggled to score and they did the opposite,”Howington said. “They were 12-of-23 from 3-point land. They hit six of those threes in the fourth quarter which really helped stretch their lead. There aren’t two many teams on our schedule that are going to beat those guys when they shoot the ball like that.” Howington pointed out that it was nearly a reserve situation from last year, when the Vikings put on a 3-point clinic in defeating the Rangers in Poseyville. “I thought we did a lot of good things but

they were just a good team and were very tough to beat on their home floor,” Howington said. “They are a team we may see here again in just a few weeks.” Against the Rangers, Grant Scheller had 13 and Graves finished with 11. Morlock added seven and Sanford had six. Weber and Bender added two apiece. Howington said there is no doubt in his mind that the team that came out of this weekend is a better team than entered it. The Vikings will face South Spencer on Friday night at homecoming, in the only game scheduled for this week. However, the reserves will play in a tournament on Wednesday at Harrison. “South Spencer is a good team that got off to a 5-0 start and lost some close games,” Howington said. “Without question, they are one of the most talented teams in out conference. And they will be ready when they come into Poseyville.”

his Vikings defeated the Bears, a particularly good win for the coach. “After the first five matches, we were ahead 30-0,” Moll said. “Josh Wiggins had a really big match at 132. “After the first period, it was 8-8, a lot of points scored. They put each other on their backs over and over but Josh ended up pinning him and I know that was a match that Central thought they were going to win. That was some nice bonus for the team.” Moll said that three years ago, the Bears pitched a shut-out against the Vikings. “It’s great to see how well the kids are coming along,” Moll said. The Mount Vernon match was a barn-burner and things got heated at times, as they always seem to do when the county’s two schools are involved. But when it was over, the Vikings had reserved last week’s lop-sided loss to the Wildcats and had pulled out a 39-36 win. “At 106, Cameron Kendall was beaten by the Mount Vernon kid but on Saturday, he pinned him. I thought Cameron had a good chance to win but I didn’t know he would pin the kid,” Moll said. “That actually gave us the lead. Then we pinned at 113 with Cameron Fisher. They were going to forfeit against Levi (Miller) but Levi pinned anyhow. I figured Fisher would get a pin and I had figured Levi would get a forfeit or a pin so the swing match was when Kendall got the pin. That was huge.” Moll said that before the Kendall match, he really hadn’t paid too much attention to the score because the Wildcats had won so decisively just the week before. “When Cameron got the pin, I said ‘oh boy’ and went back and started counting up the points and realized we could win,” Moll said with excitement. “Ryan Martin got a big pin at 138 in that match, too, after losing the first time against Mount Vernon. And Kaynin Capps also got a big win. Kaynin went 4-1 on the day and really should have gone 5-0. Fisher went 4-1, too.” I was just happy with the whole team,” Moll said. “When they walked out there, they
