New Posey treasurer appointee greeted with lawsuit

By Valerie Werkmeister A new Posey County Treasurer was seated last week following a Republican Party caucus March 18.

Republicans hoped to put the bonding fiasco with Chris Harp behind them and move forward with their new choice, Justin White. Yet, the troubles and questions surrounding the seat are far from over.

A lawsuit filed by Posey County Democratic Party Chairman, Ed Adams, contends that since Harp was never fully bonded to the tune of $300,000, she was not qualified to take office. Adams’ lawsuit asks the courts to decide if Harp’s seat was legal. If not, he contends that Republicans held an illegal caucus.

In turn, appointing White to the of-

fice may not be legal.

According to Section 3, Article 15 of the Indiana Constitution, it states: “Whenever it is provided in this Constitution, or in any law which may be hereafter passed, that any officer, other than a member of the General Assembly, shall hold his office for any given term, the same shall be construed to mean, that such officer shall hold his office for such term, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.”

Essentially, this means that previous treasurer, Linda Curtis, could have been held over in the position.

Her bond reads, in part: the bond is effective “until [her] successor is duly qualified.”

Adams believed that since Harp

Justin White

failed to comply with fulfilling her bond requirement, it was not legal for her to take office. Indiana Code 5-4-1-9 reads: An officer required to give an official bond shall give the bond before the commencement of his term of office. If the officer fails to give the bond before that time, the officer may not take office.

Adams maintains that Curtis could have continued in her position with Harp, “taking as long as she needed to secure her bond. She didn’t need to resign. She could have stayed in the office.”

Harp resigned March 8, after it was determined she would not be able to secure the $300,000 required bond. She was able to secure only a $100,000 bond. Adams stated

Harp was told in late December that a $300,000 bond could not be obtained through Shrode Agency, the same agency that bonded Curtis.

“I’d like to know what transpired between December and now. We could have had a fully-bonded treasurer in place all this time,” Adams said.

“There’s nothing personal about this and I even told Chris I didn’t mean for her to resign [due to the lawsuit]. It all boils down to the law and protecting the citizens and assets of this county,” he said.

“If I just turn my back and allow this, then why have laws?” Adams said.

Another MV Drug arrest made

By Dave Pearce The hard work of Posey County law enforcement has again paid dividends.

In October of 2012, the Posey County Drug Task Force obtained a search warrant for the residence of Tobias Payne located on Nettleton Street in Mount Vernon. During the execution of the search warrant by personnel of the Posey County Drug Task Force, the Mount Vernon Police Department and the Posey County Sheriff’s Department, officers discovered a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory inside the home. No one was home at the time the search warrant was executed.

Task Force personnel processed the meth lab with items of evidence

later sent to the Indiana State Police Laboratory Division for analysis.

On March 22, 2013, results of the analysis Tobias Payne were completed and forwarded to the local drug task force at which time an arrest warrant was obtained for Payne, age 36.

Later the same day, personnel of the Posey County Drug Task Force, the Mount Vernon Police Department and the Posey County Sheriff’s Department traveled to the

Mount Vernon residence at which time no one would respond to officers at the door. Forced entry was gained into the home at which time officers located Tobias Payne inside along with a female subject later identified as Lacey L. Waters, age 22, also of Mount Vernon.

Payne was taken into custody on the active arrest warrant for manufacturing meth and is being lodged in the Posey County Jail. While at the scene, Lacey Waters was confirmed to have an active arrest warrant for failure to appear in Vanderburgh County after which time she was also taken into custody and transported to the county jail awaiting transfer to the Vanderburgh County Jail.

Raben Road Bridge is open again

By Valerie Werkmeister Posey County Commissioners hope to keep an easy income source on tap by voicing opposition to Indiana Senate Bill 528. The bill specifies the percentage of riverboat supplemental wagering tax that is distributed to various entities.

Currently, Posey County receives 10 cents out of every three dollars in admission tax from Casino Aztar in Evansville. This equates to roughly $100,000 in annual receipts. The funds are used to pay for the sheriff’s department retirement fund. If this bill is signed into law, it will change from an admission tax to a supplemental wagering tax and reduce the payload to less than half.

The loss in funds will place the burden on taxpayers who will have to foot the bill.

Commissioners passed Resolution 2013-03-19-01, opposing the

bill. Commissioner Jerry Walden stated the bill is unpopular with many other commissioners from around the state for the same reason.

Mount Vernon City Attorney Beth McFadin-Higgins addressed the commissioners regarding the request for parcel certificates for properties at 114 West Second Street and 203 West Eighth Street.

She explained these properties were on the commissioner’s certificate sale. They have already been on the tax sale three times and have not sold. The city demolished buildings on these properties and incurred $13,761 in costs on the Second Street property and $6,829.71 in costs on the Eighth Street property.

If these properties are sold, the city would like to recoup their demolition costs and title work fees.

Any additional funds will be divided between the city and the county.

Posey County Attorney Bill Bender agreed the arrangement was satisfactory and the commissioners approved the request.

Posey County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk presented his recommendations on bids for bituminous and asphalt materials.

Under bituminous material, he proposed the acceptance of JH Rudolph for chip and seal, high performance cold mix and hot mix for patching; E & B Paving for high performance cold mix, and hot mix patching and Metzger Construction for cold mix patching, AE-90, AE-150 and David Enterprises, Inc. for hot mix patching.

In the asphalt section of the bids, JH Rudolph and E & B Paving were accepted from both companies for hot mix paving. JH Rudolph was

Increased water rates in New Harmony still an area bargain

By Valerie Werkmeister New Harmony residents enjoy the lowest water rates around.

A recommendation by council member, Linda Warrum, will increase rates by 10 percent in an attempt to close the gap on some of the town’s water and sewer debt. Still, if the recommendation is approved, the proposed increases will be the lowest in the area.

Warrum presented figures to council members during their recent meeting on March 21. She provided figures for Poseyville, Mount Vernon, Crossville, Ill., and Winslow, Ind. Currently, New Harmony water users pay $5.20 per 1,000 gallons for the first 4,000 gallons of water with a base rate of $20.80. Mt. Vernon charges a base rate of $28.16 for the first 4,000 gallons; Crossville charges $36.58; Winslow charges

$39.52 for the first 3,500 gallons and Poseyville charges the highest of all - $44.70 for 4,000 gallons.

Warrum recommended a 10 percent increase that would bring the base rate up to $22.88. Two additional 10 percent increases, one for 2014 would raise the rate to $25.16 and another in 2015 would top out at $27.64.

There is currently a 10 percent deficit between revenue and expenses amounting in $27,206.57. The water debt stands at $1.197 million and the sewer debt totals $959,000. Of the $20.80 paid on each water bill, only $5.80 goes towards the water debt while $28 goes towards the sewer debt.

She noted that Poseyville increased rates in three phases: the first in 2008 with an increase to $35.30, in 2009 it increased to $40 and in 2010, it increased to $44.70.

“Even if we raise the water rates three times, we will still be lower than anyplace in the area,” Warrum stated.

Council members took the information under advisement and no action was taken at the time.

Street superintendent Bobby Grider informed council members that the town’s chipper truck is being repaired.

Town employees have been unable to pick up large debris piles. They hoped to have the truck back and operational last Friday. He added that Murphy Park is partially open. He will wait at least another week in hopes of warmer weather before opening bathrooms.

Parks board president Barb McConnell reported that the

Mount Vernon looks at options to house police, fire station

By Lois Mittino Gray New acquisitions were the highlight of a very busy Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety meeting on Thursday afternoon, March 20. The Board discussed plans for a new police and fire station, purchased a new police car, discussed the purchase of a new packer truck, new water pumps and first year operation of the new Long Term Control Water System.

Calling the present police and fire station “substandard,” board member Bill Curtis introduced a plan that could “get a new station quick as we can using less money than was quoted 5-6 years ago when we first started talking about it”. Design plans for refurbishing the former Dausmann Motors Building were presented to the board by Ronald Flick, Vice-President of Pyramid Architecture/Engineering of Indianapolis .

The proposed design calls for the sales area to be remodeled for use by the police and the other half for use by the fire department. The second floor will consist of bunk rooms and rest rooms plus more will be built above the big showroom

changing the roof line. There will be a pole from upstairs to the lower level. A separate addition is planned for the four truck bays. There will be brick on front with a canopy area to keep weather off the front doors “We planned minimal intrusion on the original building and utilized what’s there to keep costs down,” Flick explained of the design plans.

Board members would like to make work for local contractors and voted to have Pyramid break down jobs into 15-20 smaller bid packages to be ready by early May. The firm will also offer two training sessions for persons who want to bid on packages.

Board Member Steve Fuelling queried Flick as to whether the small packages come in at an overall higher price. “We’ve done this in many cities and the cost actually comes in about ten percent less. Local participation keeps prices down,” Flick said. The firm would have one person as an on-site supervisor for all the contract packages. “We’re there to keep their feet to the fire” he joked.

Estimated cost for the project is $1 to $1.2 million. The Black Township Trustee has earmarked $400,000 for the project so that leaves about $700,000 to $800, 000 to finance.

“We won’t know the exact cost until the bid packages come in”, Curtis said. He noted that 5-6 years ago the estimate for the new building was 3 million dollars. “Now it’s almost half that years later and we are finding a use for a vacant building with a good location for responding to emergencies in a timely fashion. I’m so pleased with the progress this past year”.

Clerk- Treasurer Christi L. Sitzman announced that the first fundraiser for the new building will be in May or June.

Ivy DeKemper shares passion for community Passion is something that some people are born with and others develop in life. It keeps us going and at the right moments will lead us to peaceful happy living. For Mount Vernon resident Ivy DeKemper the passions of her life have made her life happy and content. Because as everyone knows, to do something you are passionate about is a joy not a job.

DeKemper has coached the Mount Vernon High School Dance Cats for the past twelve and a half years along side her mother Becky.

The two work well together and it has shown on the court and in the competitions that the dance cats have been attending and walking away with the top awards. Family is important to DeKemper and she is glad to have the opportu-

nity to work with her mother and build bonds with the dancers as well. The two share the passion for dance and continue to lead the team to the top. Just recently the two were with the Dance Cats as they won the Indiana High School Dance Team Association championship for their Hip Hop routine.

Ivy and Becky were honored at the state championships with an outstanding coaches award for their years of coaching and leading this top notch dance team.

Not only has dance been a passion in Ivy’s life but photography as well. Ivy loves the art of photography and owns her own photography business, Ivy Photography, in Mount Vernon. On any given day DeKemper can be found taking pictures of clients, friends, or

family and even giving back to her other passions with this passion. This year she took the team pictures of her Dance Cats and the pictures turned out wonderfully.

Having been raised in Posey County and being a graduate of Mount Vernon High School, DeKemper loves this county and the people of Mount Vernon. She has built bonds with folks in the county through dance and photography that will last a lifetime.

Ivy displays many of the traits that makes a great citizen of our county including honesty, hard work, and dedication to whatever she is doing. This county should be proud to have her and her mother leading the dance cats.

Good luck in whatever you continue to do Ivy.

White faces lawsuit, from Page A1 He added that his lawsuit filed March 8, was amended on March 15, to include whoever was appointed treasurer by the Republican Party Caucus.

During a phone interview on Friday, March 22, Adams stated the lawsuit will be amended again with a declaratory judgment action, officially naming Justin White in the lawsuit.

White is a lifelong Mount Vernon resident who has become avidly involved in politics in recent years. He is a 2004 graduate of Indiana Business College with an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration. Since then, his career has paved the way towards the treasurer’s seat.

White gained Human Resource and regulatory banking skills during his three-year employment at American General Finance. He also spent three years at Fifth-Third Bank as a personal banker where he found his niche in sales and working with the public.

“My experience in the banking industry, with regulatory compliance and HR [Human Resources] administration has given me a good tri-fecta of skills to prepare for this roll,” he explained.

White was actually offered the deputy treasurer position which he assumed on March 4. He felt the move offered him “the opportunity to launch into public service.” He is bonded for the full $300,000 amount and it is recorded in the Recorder’s Office.

White’s appointment was discussed during the Tuesday morning, March 19, Posey County Commissioner’s meeting.

President Carl Schmitz stated, “I hope we can move forward and get this all behind us and get back to working on the problems of the county, rather than fighting over something like bonding.”

Harp remains in the treasurer’s office and White has named her as the new deputy treasurer.

“It was only logical to keep her in office. The people of this county chose to elect her to this office and that’s why she’s here.

I wouldn’t have it any other way,” White stated.

White hopes to facilitate changes in the office that will make its processes more modernized. He will explore opportunities to allow taxpayers to pay their taxes online or by using their credit or debit cards in the office.

He added that there will not be any delay in tax bills this year.

They are slated to be mailed April 1.

Mount Vernon options, from Page A1 a quote on a Tahoe but no one ever got back with him. The Board unanimously approved the purchase.

--In the matter of a new packer truck, Mayor Tucker reminded everyone that the lowest bidder was Best Equipment at a price of $148, 260. Board Member Bill Curtis discussed the study authorized by the Council for Umbaugh to look at the city trash pick up operation. He suggested that before a new packer is purchased they should wait for results of the study due in May and table action for now. Curtis said “I’m in favor of a new truck but what if the study comes out with a new technique and here we are stuck with a brand new truck”. The Board voted to table the issue for now.

Board Member Steve Fuelling asked if the two packers in use at present are good enough for the time being. Miller felt there were “little things here and there” but they could wait if the trucks are handled with care. Fuelling said to be cognizant and watch for problems on the trucks --Police Chief Grant Beloat gave the Board copies of letters of commendation to Detective Sergeant Thomas Rueger for his work in several serious felony investigations in the past few months which led to arrests and convictions, to Officer Josh Brock for assisting in the fatal house fire in January, to Officer Allen Middleton for his work in assisting with the accident at the Four Seasons Motel in January and to Officer Darrin Lemberg for his work with K-9 Dido and to Dido, who retired on January 20.

--Superintendent Rodney Givens reported on pump issues at the E and S Housing lift station. He was able to get two pumps at $4,871 dollars each. One is for use now and one is back-up.

The purchase was approved.

--Assistant Street Superintendent Jamie Miller explained that work was proceeding on the West School Storm Water System. He is working with David Frye of MVSD and County Surveyor Paul Breeze is doing the elevations. They will start to dig soon.

--The board approved a Dedication of Private Easement to homeowners who reside on the southern side of Sherman Street abutting Fairview Park. They will give fifteen feet on the north boundary of the park to residents for use as an ingress/egress to their garages, sheds and property with stipulations. There are to be no parked vehicles on it, no structures built, no paving (grass only), no public use, no stored items, and the residents are responsible for its mowing. Use is at their own risk.

Fuelling wondered if cars driving on the grass won’t turn the area into unsightly mud. Residents Ron and Jane Williams assured him that they will be very responsible and only want access to the garage just one or a few times a week and they already mow and maintain the area. Curtis wanted to make sure

it was public knowledge that if there are complaints on upkeep, the Board may take the property back in 30 days. The Williams’ assured them that they understood.

--Aaron Burke spoke to the board representing Bernardin Lochmueller and Associates explaining the final change order for the Long Term Control Project in the amount of $26,583.27 for things that came up in the last 90 days of the project. Now that the project is nearing completion, Fuelling questioned training available or going on tours of other facilities in cities they worked on. Burke said each system is unique for their city and the ‘best’ way to train now is to work with the system, look for patterns and email them about bugs. “Please put it in writing so we can get to it, especially this first year of operation,” he said.

“In order to be protected in warranty work, write everything down.”

Outstanding Senior nominations still accepted The search is on for Indiana’s outstanding senior volunteer.

The Salute to Senior Service program, sponsored by Home Instead, Inc., the franchisor of the Home Instead Senior Carenetwork, honors the contributions of adults 65 and older who give at least 15 hours a month of volunteer service to their favorite causes.

Nominations for outstanding senior volunteers will be accepted between February 1 and March 31, 2013. State winners then will be selected by popular vote at SalutetoSeniorService.com. Online voting will take place from April

15 to April 30, 2013. From those state winners, a panel of senior care experts will pick the national Salute to Senior Service honoree.

Home Instead, Inc., will donate $500 to each of the state winners’ favorite nonprofit organizations and their stories will be posted on the Salute to Senior Service Wall of Fame. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the national winner’s nonprofit charity of choice.

Senior care professionals and those who work at hospitals, senior care facilities and other places where seniors volunteer are encouraged to nominate older adults. So,

too, are family caregivers and the adult children of aging parents. Older adults also may self-nominate.

To complete and submit a nomination form online for a senior age 65 or older who volunteers at least 15 hours a month, and to view the contest’s official rules, visit SalutetoSeniorService.com.

Give patients in need a fresh start this spring Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, and eggs are hatching. It’s spring, a time of renewal. For hospital patients in need of blood, hope for a fresh start comes from generous donors.

When Matt Deyo was a senior in high school, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a cancerous bone tumor. During his 14-month regimen of aggressive chemotherapy, he received more than 90 units of red blood cells and platelets.

“Being an 18-year-old cancer patient was difficult because my life suddenly took an unexpected detour,” said Deyo, now cancer-free.

“But going through that life-changing experience led me down an amazing path and helped me decide to pursue a medical career.”

Spring into action and give hope by giving blood.

You just might provide a fresh start for someone like Deyo. To make an appointment or for more information, visit redcrossblood. org.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Posey County: April 11, 2013, 1 - 5 p.m., Babcock and Wilcox, 1400 Old Hwy. 69 South, Mount Vernon.

card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Diva’s & Diamond’s

By Fred Frayser

Through the generosity of William Maclure, one hundred forty-four Working Men’s Institutes were created. His gifts had a remarkable impact on eighty-nine of Indiana’s ninety-two counties. Remarkably, the New Harmony Working Men’s Institute, created officially on April 2, 1838, is the only one remaining. The library created by Maclure is the oldest continually operated public library in the state today. Maclure felt the mission of his new creation should be that “This institute should be solely and only applied to the diffusion of useful knowledge by mutual instruction amongst the producing classes who labor with their hands, and gain their bread by the sweat of their brow.”

This mission continues today.

Dr. Edward Murphy furthered the mission of the WMI by funding the construction of the current facility in 1894. His gift was in appreciation for his love

of life in New Harmony. Dr. and Mrs. Murphy purchased reproductions of paintings by renowned European artists to bring the beauty and culture to his beloved community for the masses. Dr. Murphy’s generosity was extended at his death with a bequest of $100,000. This endowment allowed for the construction of Murphy Auditorium by the WMI as a venue for its popular lecture series. The Friends of the Working Men’s Institute continue this lecture series today. If you have not attended one you should add April 4 to your calendar. The lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. at WMI and will be on John James Audubon The community of New Harmony is invited to join in the celebration of one hundred seventy-five years of the successful completion of Maclure’s vision.

By Pam Young I wish I had more nerve. I remember when those classes called Assertiveness Training were popular; I wanted to sign up, but I didn’t have the nerve. I could have been an extra character in the Wizard of Oz, right next to the cowardly lion; a big yellow, fluffy chicken skipping off down the Yellow Brick Road to see the wizard to get nerve.

I secretly would like to be outspoken. I’d love not to care about the consequences of going up to some loudmouthed cell phone user in the airport and saying, “Sir, please lower your voice, I’m sitting in the next gate and I don’t care what kind of bowel movement you had this morning and I’m really wondering if the guy on the other end of your conversation wants to know either.”

I’d like to not care if I got fat. Recently, I roomed with a wonderful woman in my chorus and she told me she is totally fine with her fat. Her suitcase proved her point. It was filled with an assortment of chips, dips, chocolates and other candy which she happily munched on freely through the weekend. It was stuff I’ve

season when I’d put them out in my yard in a circle and instruct the hunters to wear hats I’d made covered in roses (like Aunt Bea’s church hat) and go sit in the circle.

I probably won’t get up the nerve to build the deer blind, but this summer I am going to go skinny dipping in the Lewis River. (I said I was going to do that last year but I lost my nerve.) I know a place that unless some guy comes by in a boat no one will see me. I’m also going to eat just the center of a watermelon and although I won’t throw out the seed part I won’t deal with it until the next day. And I think I’m going to make up some business cards that say, ‘Please use your quiet voice while you’re in public.

Thank you.’ Oh, and since it’s April, I’ll just bet I lose my nerve by next hunting season, so I think I’ll start making a chicken costume in case I get a chance to take a hike on that Yellow Brick Road.

been limiting to a semi-annual indulgence. It made me want a suitcase packed with junk food to take on my next vacation. It made me think, ‘someday I’m going to eat just the center of the watermelon and throw out the rest.’ Just that thought made me nervous.

I love wild animals and living out in the woods as I do, is a great place to be with them. However there is this one family of deer that routinely plan and scheme their raids on my gardens. If I had the nerve, I would advertise in Guns R Us, ‘Hunter’s Paradise. Get your kill in minutes.

Food and lodging included.’

I’d guarantee a kill because I know just how to get right up to those fuzzy, adorable flower murderers.

See, my dad was an avid hunter and fisherman. When duck season came, he’d go with his hunting buddies to Bachelor’s Island where there were these crazy looking huts out in the water called duck blinds. They’d take a boat out to one and sit in there hiding from the ducks and geese as they flew in to rest and eat. Well I would build a deer blind. I’d grow about ten roses in ten different pots and keep them on the deck (where the deer can only see and smell them) until hunting

produce now holds homes, many have reached the end of their lives while many new lives have been born.

So what needs to be done?

1. Unity!

19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

(Matthew 18:19–20 (NKJV)) Maybe this passage is taken out of context, but it still holds true nonetheless. Why can’t churches and pastors work together to achieve the ultimate goal of making a difference in our community?

Imagine what might hap-

pen if prayer groups develop and meet all over our county!

Every community coming together to pray for their neighbors would create stronger bonds which would run all traces of criminal activity away.

Is it possible that we could really see something happen that would earn our community a name that says this is a great place to live?

2. Pray!

If the people of God unite in prayer there is nothing that cannot be done to stop the unified effort of God’s people working to make a difference in our community. …if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)) Now, I’m not saying that our county is all bad. What I am saying is that God wants to make a reach people with the truth of Jesus Christ. I want desperately to be a part of this.

I want desperately to see the people of Posey County rise up and look to God and His vision for stronger families, schools, communities and work places.

We can see it happen and I believe it will!

Sermon of the Week: Want to make a difference?

Rick Sellers, Mt. Zion GBC When I look back to the time when I first moved to Posey County in 1988 I recall seeing God’s vision for this county. Over the years I have come to know so many in various different ways, and for that I am thankful.

But there is something that troubles me, something that I cannot get over. Of all the peo-

ple I have met over these 25 years, there is too many who still do not know Jesus. When I hear the things said about our county, I am troubled. I realize that we have not done enough.

There are nicknames for parts of our county which reveal to me that there are problems which need to be addressed.

Cleaning up our community from various forms of criminal activity is certainly

something that needs to be done but I am convinced that there is something far greater that needs to be done.

41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” (Luke 19:41–44 (NKJV))

If the vision God gave me back in 1988 was real, then I feel we must make a fresh bold move.

As Jesus looked over Jerusalem He looked with great concern for the souls of the men and women who were ‘going about their daily business’ while their ‘busy-ness’ was preventing them from seeing the greater need.

I often look at young families, little children and busy parents and try to encourage them to take time and enjoy their blessing, unfortunately too much of the time they take the advice like I did (not).

‘Raben road bridge’ continued from Page A1 also awarded the escalator bid.

Schenk explained bids from multiple companies were chosen due to the widespread location of each plant. Some companies are closer to various county locations thus making the prices more reasonable.

Schenk also notified the commissioners that repair work completed on Raben Road Bridge passed inspection by United Consulting Engineers. The bridge was reopened Tuesday, March 19.

Schenk recommended the approval of a road closure request by the St. Wendel Men’s Club for their second annual 5K ‘Grillin’ and Chillin’ run scheduled for June 1.

Nomad Technology Group presented a technology proposal for review. The proposal will be

reviewed and was tabled until the next meeting.

Jim Heck of Grow Southwest Indiana updated the commissioners that the organization is on target for the July 1 transition date.

Emergency Medical Services Director, Chuck Thompson, informed the commissioners on ambulance run totals to date for the year. There have been 244 in Mount Vernon, 88 in New Harmony, 83 in Saint Phillips and 97 in Poseyville for a total of 512. A total of $60,579.92 was collected by the billing service in January and $65,979.55 in February. The cost to the county for the collection services tallied $8,663.50.

The next scheduled Posey County commissioners meeting will be Tuesday, April 2, at 9 a.m.

Applications for the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award now being accepted Applications are now being accepted for the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award for 2013. The Award, in the amount of $500, is given annually to a high school junior who resides in Posey County and who is involved in community activities in Posey County.

The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was created in September 2007 in honor of Elizabeth D. Baier’s 25th Anniversary as Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County. Michelle Hudson, chairperson of the committee charged with the task of selecting an Award recipient, said “The United Way of Posey County wanted to recognize Elizabeth for her service to the United Way, but we also wanted to honor her for her many years of leadership, community involvement, and volunteer services to Posey County. An award recognizing exemplary volunteerism by young people had been a dream of Elizabeth’s for many years, so the creation of the Youth Spirit Award in her name seemed to be the perfect way to honor her.”

Funding for the Award was obtained entirely through private donations.

An applicant for the Award must be a Posey County resident but may attend high

school in Posey, Gibson, or Vanderburgh Counties or may be home schooled. Applicants for this year’s Award must currently be in their junior year in high school and a member of the graduating class of 2014.

Applicants must have exhibited outstanding leadership, volunteerism, and community involvement. Two or three letters of recommendation must accompany the application.

Applications must be post-marked no later than May 3, 2013, for consideration and the Award recipient will be notified no later than June 14, 2013. An organization may nominate a student for the Award and provide supporting letters, but the nominated student must complete the application.

Last year, the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was given to Maggie Maier, a student at Mount Vernon High School.

The Award for 2013 will be presented at the United Way of Posey County Leadership Giving Dinner in August.

Applications for the Award have been mailed to schools, churches, clubs and civic organizations. Any student wishing to apply for the Award may also obtain an application at the office of the United Way of Posey County, 128 West Third Street, Mount Vernon, Indiana.

OPINION

Our family vacations are always memorable, one way or another I know some of you think I pick on my wife a lot. You are right, I do. But to be perfectly honest, her life is so eventful that it makes mine look plain and dull.

Last night as we were reminiscing about old times, we began talking about the vacations we have taken. We have tried to get away at least once a year since we got married. That TRUTH... makes for a lot of memo- STRANGER ries…many of them funny.

THAN As I thought through our FICTION trips, I am beginning to think

BY DAVE my wife is allergic to vaca- PEARCE tions. I should have gotten the hint when we took our son Eric on our honeymoon to Florida. But that one waxed pale compared to some we have taken.

My wife admits that her ‘events’ on our vacations seem to be less than coincidental.

I’ll try to give you some examples.

Our talk was spurred by the picture of a Tshirt sent to us by our son last night. It was a picture of a T-shirt he had found while going through his old clothes. It was a commemorative T-shirt for Biker Week at Myrtle Beach in 2000. Eric took his friend Alex Hahn and little did we know on the way down what we were getting ourselves into. Myrtle Beach does not sleep during Biker’s Week and neither did our two 13-year-old youngsters.

Despite the fact we rented a reputable condo for the week, the scenery during the day transformed into the party outside the door at night. About 3 a.m. on the first night, we were awakened by the two boys putting covers on the floor in our bedroom because they were afraid to sleep in their room.

On our most recent vacation, a cruise to the western Caribbean, Connie came down with the flu on the second day of the cruise and I spent most of the remainder of the cruise looking for Sprite and soda crackers.

It did get us away from home for a few days.

Then there was the trip to Hilton Head. I

Guest Column

don’t remember the year but Eric was young.

On the first day there, somehow Connie got in touch with some poison ivy and subsequently got it all over her. We ended up at the medical clinic and it took the biggest part of the week for her to even begin to get better.

Then, not too long after that, on a subsequent visit to Hilton Head, President Clinton was in office. He spent about a week a year on Hilton Head and somehow, for three years running, it was the same week we were there. Connie went with her mom to watch the President arrive at his hotel, which was just up the street from ours. They decided to sit down on the grassy ground and wait for him and the motorcade to pass by.

Before she realized it, she had sat down in a hill of red ants and they were crawling all over her, stinging and biting. Guess where we went…again. Yes, we were back at the hospital.

Then there was the trip where we took our friend and then-youth pastor of our church with us on a break to Hilton Head. You know him now as Mount Vernon General Baptist senior pastor Matt Watson. Matt was quite an athlete and had played collegiate basketball at Oakland City University. He was living with us as he finished the final year of his education.

I’m not a good golfer but Eric and I decided that we would try and get Matt involved in the sport. I had just gotten a new Titleist driver and was going to try it out at Hilton head. The first evening, we went to a driving range and I wanted to let Matt see what he could do.

I believe it was the very first swing when he attempted to hit the ball, the head of the club went flying and you should have seen the look on his face as he stood there with only the club’s shaft in his hands. I’m not sure he has played since.

Then one year, we decided to take my mother and my Aunt Judy with us to Hilton Head. We left on Christmas Day and stopped in Nashville to get a bite to eat. We were seated by some suspicious looking individuals well away from the door or any windows.

We enjoyed our meal and got back outside to find that our car had been robbed. Connie’s purse had been taken along with all the camera equipment I had brought along. It took three hours to do the only thing they would let us do, and that was simply file a police report. By the time we got all the medication refills we needed, we had wasted most of the first day in Nashville.

Then three or four years ago, we decided to take a week and go to Florida. We were staying at her aunt and uncles’ mobile home when she began to experience back pains.

We ended up spending the entire night in the hospital only to have me take her back to the mobile home the next morning. She could only watch helplessly and sleep as I cleaned up the place and prepared for the drive home.

Before I close, I have to tell one on myself.

A few years ago, three of my good friends decided to drive to Hilton Head for a week of tennis on the clay courts. I had stayed at the same condo before and was familiar with the territory. I had borrowed a Lincoln Navigator from the dealership where I worked to make the trip down. The place we stayed was nice and the road that led back to the townhouse resembled an obstacle course as trees were left standing in parts of the road to provide beauty and a natural speed deterrent.

As we left out to play tennis on the first morning, one of my friends noticed a large alligator far out to the passenger side of the vehicle. Of course I looked and I was amazed that I had not seen an alligator quite that large since we had been coming to Hilton Head. I watched him and continued my path…right into one of the trees that had been left in the

middle of the road. In order to rectify the situation, I had to find a body shop that could get the vehicle in and then rented a car for the week before we could begin to return home the following weekend. Turned out to be an expensive look at a large alligator.

As for my wife, I’m not sure if it is the vacations she is allergic to or if it is me. Either way, she is available for your next trip out of town if your vacations are boring or uneventful. I can almost guarantee you will experience something along the way you have never experienced before.

On a closing note, one of my friends sent me an email tonight. I had to share.

The Grandmother of all Blonde Jokes This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid. So, she decides to show her husband that blondes really are smart.

While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is going to paint a couple of rooms in the house.

The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets down to the task at hand.

Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and smells the distinctive smell of paint.

He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat.

He notices that she is wearing a heavy parka and a leather jacket at the same time. He goes over and asks her if she is OK. She replies yes. He asks what she is doing and she replies that she wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb, and she wanted to do it by painting the house.

He then asks her why she is wearing a parka over her leather jacket. She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and it said…for best results, put on two coats.

Have a great Spring Break Week.

Providing budget f exibility for our schools One of the many advantages of the Indiana General Assembly is that each legislator brings with them a unique background and expertise. We have legislators that are farmers, firefighters, attorneys, military veterans, doctors, dentists, realtors, and educators. The list of professions could stretch for miles.

My professional background is in education. As an educator, I am always looking for ways to improve education and school operations in Indiana. With a deep understanding of how financial struggles can negatively impact school corporations, I was pleased to author House Bill (HB) 1110 that will help ease the burden on local schools by providing extended budget flexibility.

HB 1110 extends the authority for school corporations to use money in their respective capital projects funds to pay the costs of utilities and insurance through the 2015 calendar year. While school general funds are primarily funded by the state, school capital projects funds are primarily funded by property taxes.

The money in capital projects funds are generally used for infrastructure improvements, such as additional classrooms or new gymnasiums. However, all too often school corporations are scrambling to come up with ways to pay for necessities like utilities and

property insurance.

Recognizing that struggle, I authored HB 1110 to provide an extension to existing law that gives school corporations the authority to use capital project funds to pay insurance and utility costs. Current law allows school corporations to use those funds through the end of the 2013 calendar year. My bill extends the ability to use those funds through the 2015 calendar year. By giving the school corporations these extensions, they will be able to use their other resources in the ways they best see fit to serve their students.

In fiscal year 2012, school corporations statewide spent a total of approximately $182.4 million from their respective capital projects funds in order to pay for utilities and property insurance. There is clearly a need for budget flexibility, which is the biggest intent of my bill.

HB 1110 allows school corporations the budget flexibility to make those prioritizing decisions. It allows them to make the best financial choices in order to most adequately serve their students.

If you are interested in connecting with me on House Bill 1110 or any other legislation I have authored, please feel free to connect with me via email at h76@in.gov or by phone at (317) 232-9671.

Gavel Gamut’s: ‘ Hail and Farwell’ The United States Army has a tradition of welcoming a new commander and saying goodbye to the one leaving. It is a time to say thanks for past accomplishments and set out hopes for the future. On April 23, 2013 in the courtroom of the Posey Circuit Court GAVEL a similar transition will occur when the Posey County GAMUT Bar Association and Posey County’s two high schools BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE celebrate Law Day. For the past twenty-eight years the Bar and the government teachers and students from Posey County’s three high schools have presented a Mock Trial in which one school would portray the court personnel, one would take one side of a fictional case and the third high school would represent the opposing side. The Bar sponsored the event and the students and teachers would study and prepare, then present a jury trial. Now, with only two high schools, the method must adapt, but the purposes remain the same.

Celebration of right over might and education about America’s justice system are immutable goals that define the essence of Law Day. These principles have been imparted to hundreds of Posey County’s students by teachers Rick Johnson from New Harmony and Mike Kuhn from North Posey for each of the past twenty-eight years. Mike’s North Posey class, aided by teacher Michelle Parrish, will argue in court again this year, but Rick moved to Mt. Vernon Junior High when New Harmony had to close its school. Over the years Charley Martin, Steve Britt and Ann Shank from Mt. Vernon have worked with the Bar to help impress upon the students the importance and fragility of America’s Last Best Hope. Mt. Vernon High School’s government teacher is now Lucy Steinhart.

This year Mike’s and Michelle’s class will argue for passage of a fictional gun ordinance and Lucy’s will argue against it. On the suggestion of Posey County Bar Association President, Donald Baier, the Bar will provide the judge and jury. Judge Brent Almon of the Posey Superior Court will serve as judge and several members of the Bar, including Judge Baier, will serve on the jury that will decide if the ordinance should pass.

New Harmony with its mentor and fiercely competitive leader, Rick Johnson, will be missed, but thanks to the New Harmony School Reorganization Committee of thirty years ago that extended the useful life of the school until 2012, many years of fun and legal education have been enjoyed.

And, in New Harmony’s long tradition of talented and generous public servants helping to build New Harmony’s unique legacy, just this past week the Chairman of the New Harmony School Reorganization Committee, Neil Pagano, was elected mayor of Port Chester, New York. Neil and his committee gave countless hours, not a little out-of-pocket expenses and excellent statistical accumulation and analysis in their successful extension of the New Harmony school for an additional generation. The qualities of leadership and vision that guided the school reorganization committee in New Harmony will well serve the citizens of Port Chester.

However, some of the best of what makes New Harmony special is its ability to build on the past to enhance the present and ensure the future. Adapting to change is another of those important concepts our schools continue to impart.

Letters to the Editor The Obama administration is destroying America I have lived long enough to remember when JFK was president and I have never seen anything close to what the current administration is inflicting on America. The president's job is to lead the country and bring us together as one. What I am seeing out of the current administration is nothing but divisiveness ,confrontation and a total lack of respect for the Constitution of the United States of America.

I have listened to the State of the Union address and the current sequester debate for weeks now. It is my opinion that our current president is delusional. President Obama talks about how he has grown the economy and added hundreds of thousands of jobs and paints a ‘rosy scenario’ of America's future.

What I am seeing is the exact opposite. I see 47 million people who rely on government food stamps just to put food on the table. To put that in perspective, that is 1 out of every 7 Americans go to the grocery store and pay with food stamps, and that number is growing. I keep hearing from this administration that there is no inflation...I don't know what planet he is living on, but it is certainly not the one that we are currently inhabiting.

Inflation since 2008 has driven these items up in price by the following amount: chicken 12%, hamburger 17%, apples 21%, oranges 23%, and gas 80%... that is the reality of the situation here in the United States. When I was growing up, we encouraged hard work and independence in this country... a work ethic that was second to none and the envy of the free world. Now, we have a country who is looking for the government to provide for their every need. I am all for helping someone out temporarily till they get back on their feet...but not for life. We have been systematically destroying our manufacturing base for years, rewarding corporations for sending our jobs to foreign shores and now we are reaping the rewards.

The current administration wants to do away with National Sovereignty and open up our boarders to millions of ‘illegal aliens’ to come into our country and drain our social support systems to the point of collapse. If the President wants to save some money on

the budget, here is my suggestion to you and congress. Send the 11 million ‘illegal aliens’ back across the boarder and tell them to apply legally like most of our current citizens have done in the past, instead of providing them with Amnesty These illegal aliens are costing the taxpayers billions of dollars to support. A large percentage of these people are incarcerated in our prison systems, on Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, Welfare, Food Stamps, etc. The President just released 10,000 illegal aliens criminals from jail over the current sequester, just to make his point to congress. I find that extremely alarming.

A large percentage of these people have never paid a dime into the system ,they work for cash and drift from job to job, but they are draining resources from honest taxpaying individuals who have worked hard their whole life and have actually paid into these support systems for decades. It is their money, not the illegal aliens. It cost the taxpayers about $60,000 a year to incarcerate just one of these criminals and that does not account for the recidivism rate or follow-up post release programs.

When I hear a standing President of the United States get up in front of the American people and constantly say one thing and while doing another, I get very concerned and that is what I see with the current administration.

His arrogant attitude about executive orders, implementing unconstitutional taxes (without congress approval), drones flying over America, the weakening of our military, economy (printing money QE1-2-3), forced health care, the constant erosion of our liberties, and a total disregard for the Constitution of the United States of America... I am concerned about who this administration really represents and what his motives truly are.

Any layman's reading of the Constitution could interpret the President is ignorant of the limits on Presidential Power or contemptuous of them. I strongly suspect the latter. It is time for the ‘silent majority’ to become the ‘vocal majority’ if you value you and your children's future in the United States.

Viking record-holder Harness signs on with UIndy Greyhounds

By Dave Pearce A celebration was held this week as one of North Posey High School’s most storied athletes announced he would attend the University of Indianapolis.

Wes Harness, a two-sport athlete at North

Posey, announced his intentions and signed a letter of intent in front of friends, family and coaches at North Posey. He will major in education with a possible minor in sports management. UIndy will be getting North Posey’s all-time leader in career rushing

White leaves mat impression

By Steven Kochersperger Mount Vernon alum Alex White has had a great time since leaving Southern Indiana four years ago to be a part of the wrestling program at Purdue. While many high school graduates leave town to never return to the place they grew up, White has fond memories and love for Mount Vernon. He credits the town and school for helping him become the wrestler and person he is today at Purdue.

“I am grateful that there are people back home that have an interest in me and the Purdue wrestling program,” White said. “I love being at Purdue, but there is no place like Mount Vernon.”

White grew up in Mount Vernon but made many trips as a kid to Lafayette to visit family that lived in the area.

While making these visits White would find himself on the campus of Purdue University intrigued and in awe of the size and beauty of the campus. What seemed so big

and confusing back then now is home for the Posey County native.

White found himself on that campus as a student about four years ago not knowing what was in store for his future as a student and college wrestler. The transition was not the easiest but White feels the combination of classes and athletic responsibilities has made him a better person. “I feel that the combination of classes and wrestling at Purdue has helped shape me in to a welldisciplined person,” White said. “With several hours of class and practice each day along with mandatory study tables and studying on your own, free time can be hard to find. I think that I have become a much more responsible person.”

White redshirted as a freshman and the next couple years was a backup on the Boilermaker team, wrestling only when needed. This past season he had the opportunity to be a starter and White

took the chance to wrestle as hard as he could and learn as much as he could. Redshirting his freshman year gives him the opportunity to wrestle one more year and White is now completely focused on taking all he has learned as a collegiate wrestler and leaving his mark on the program he loves this next season.

This season White found himself in a nerve racking situation in the national duals against Wyoming. The Boilermakers were up 17-16 going into the final matchup of the meet. White stepped to the mat knowing that whoever won his match was going to lead their team to the victory. It was the first time in his wrestling career that he had been put in that situation.

But White overcame the situation beating his opponent 4-1 bring home the victory for Purdue.

And while White has enjoyed his time as a Boilermaker, it is Mount Vernon that he still holds close to his heart. “The people I wrestled with during my career at Mount Vernon were some of the best friends that I will ever have,” White said. ”We had a very large group of guys that stuck together all the way from elementary school until we all graduated.

It is always a pleasure when I get time to come home and see these guys.”

White is majoring in Law & Society with a minor in Forensic science. He plans on finishing up and graduating in 2014 and hopes to get involved in law enforcement and coaching. And while no one knows their future, one thing is certain for Alex White; no matter what he does in life he will be a success. Good luck next year Alex, your home county is behind you.

with 4,478 yards, the career touchdowns record with 69, the season touchdown record with 32, and the athlete tied the record for most consecutive freshman starts.

“I basically did a ‘strengths and weaknesses’ sheet for all the colleges where I could play football and the University of Indianapolis really didn’t have any weaknesses,” Harness said. “They have great practice facilities and they have the new dome that was made for the Giants to practice for the Super Bowl. The facilities are just out of this world and there is great equipment. The dorms are nice and I just felt like I fit in.”

The NCAA Division II school is a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference and the Greyhounds finished 10-3 last season after dropping their first two games of the year. Coach Bob Bartolomeo also led the team to the post-season for the first time in school history last year. Ranked 15th in the year’s final D-II coaches’ poll, UIndy’s postseason run included a 31-14 first-round win over Number 8 Midwestern State on November 17, advancing the Hounds to the round of 16.

Bartolomeo’s 2012 squad also rewrote the school record book, setting a number of team and individual marks, including singleseason records for wins (10), touchdowns (61), points (461) and total offense (5,518).

The Hounds finished the season ranked third in all of Division II in both sacks allowed and pass defense, while also ranking fifth in punt return average, 11th in total defense and 15th in scoring defense.

Harness and his family said it was a relief to get the decision out of the way so the senior can concentrate on finishing his high school career.

“My family, as well as the entire community, has been a tremendous support,” Harness said. “My family has been at every single game they could be, supporting me 100 percent. Our community has shown they care about the football program and when everyone is involved, it just drives you that much more and makes you want to

compete.”

“I’m going there to be a running back just because I feel more comfortable as a running back,” Harness said. “They have looked at me as a linebacker and they are going to try to throw me in on some special teams, as well. I just want to get on that field as soon as I can. It is going to be a lot of hard work.”

Harness said he will likely be red-shirted his freshman year.

Harness indicated he had been considering Wabash, Hanover, and Franklin, as well as several Division III colleges in the area.

Harness said he knew, watching football when he was in kindergarten and in elementary school, that he loved the sport.

“I finally got a chance to play in the fourth grade in the Viking Youth Football Program,” Harness said. “I was coached by Andy Nottingham, Jake Voegel and Josh Meliff, Matthew Scheller and then in junior high by Zack Voegel and John Spencer and Rob Deters. All those guys have made football really fun for me.”

“You don’t get to coach too many people like Wes Harness, even in 44 years” outgoing North Posey High School Joe Gengelbach said. “Wes is a leader and a hard worker. I think his work ethic, as much as anything, set him apart from a lot of other people. They are getting a good one.”

Gengelbach said that while Harness does not have world class speed, he does possess excellent “football speed.”

“There’s regular speed and then there’s football speed,” Gengelbach explained. “Wes has excellent vision and follows his blocks so well. I wish him all the best.”

Harness had equal praise for Gengelbach, who recently announced that he will retire at the end of the current school year.

“I hated to see it happen but you knew it was going to happen sometime,” Harness said of Gengelbach’s retirement. “It’s great to be able to say that you were coached by a legend.

He is the face of North Posey football, regardless of who is playing. Even 50 years from now, he will still be North Posey football.”

State champ Dance Cats honored

By Steven Kochersperger One of the most successful programs year-in and year-out at Mount Vernon High School is the Dance Cat program. Posey County has been blessed to have such a top-notch program continually represent the county competitively at the state level. On Thursday night the Dance Cats gathered for their awards banquet to celebrate another great season.

The Dance Cats competed throughout the year bringing home the top awards with their hip hop and jazz routines in the Fortville and Vincennes dance Invitationals.

But it was at the Avon dance invitational that they qualified to compete at the Regional. At Avon, the Dance Cats finished first in hip hop, second in jazz, and third in the senior large ensemble. At the regional, the Dance Cats finished fourth in jazz, fifth

in the senior ensemble, and seventh in hip hop.

All of this led the team to their greatest moment this season, the state finals.

At the state finals, the team finished first in hip hop, and sixth in both the senior ensemble and jazz. The state also honored coaches Becky and Ivy DeKemper with the Outstanding Coaches Award for their 12-and-a-half years of coaching.

On Thursday, four members of the team were honored with Big Eight Academic All Conference status.

Those members are Alex Collins, Whitney Denning, Tristan Englert, and Destiny Oeth. These members of the team Ahave kept their grades at the level to be honored with this status.

The team awards given out Thursday were as follows: Best pirouettes Whitney Denning, Best Leaps Alex

Collins, Most School Spirit Taylor Schmidt, Best Facials Sidne Posteltheweight, Best Stunts Demi Duckworth, Most Dependable Destiny Oeth, Most Organized Tristan Englert, Best Kicks Summer Oeth, Hey Girl Hey Award Ellen May, Happy Feet ASward Bre Zoch, and Sharpest Dancer Hillary May. The Dance Cat of the Year award went to senior Demi Duckworth. This award was given by the coaches and teammates and voted upon by them.

The year has been a great year for the Dance Cats. The team says goodbye to six seniors who have given much to the program and will be missed.

Think you have what it takes to be a part of this great dance team? Well here’s your chance. Tryouts for the Dance Cats will take place April 8, 9, 10, and 11.

Mount Vernon wrestlers honored

By Steven Kochersperger The Mount Vernon wrestling program gathered last Monday to celebrate their great year as a program and as individuals. Wrestling is the only sport at Mount Vernon that holds an awards banquet for the program as a whole, honoring both the junior high and senior high wrestling accomplishments of the season.

The junior high wresting team finished the year with an 11-4 record. Three of their four losses came by a combined four points, meaning they could have just as easily finished 14-1 on the year. It was the second year in a row that the Bobcats won their Conference Championship and have now brought home the trophy five of the past seven years. The team had six wrestlers go undefeated on the season and two of those wrestlers finished their junior high wrestling careers undefeated as well.

The strength at the junior high level has helped develop a great program at the high school level as well.

This season the high school team had 19 dual meet wins, which is an improvement from last season. This year the team sent five wrestlers to the regional meets, an all

time high for the Mount Vernon program.

And while the team accomplished their goals and have set the bar higher for next season, the team also honored several individuals Monday who excelled in many different areas this year. The Wildcats had one lone conference champ, heavyweight Austin Stallings. Coach Alcorn praised Stallings for his hard work this year on the mat as well as in the classroom.

Mount Vernon has three students who were honored with Academic All State honors and one who achieved honorable mention as well. The three Academic All State wrestlers are Julian Suar, Dane Wilson, and Adam Hoehn. The honorable mention went to senior Michael Rynkiewich. These athletes should be proud of their accomplishments in the classroom as they epitomize the true meaning of the word student athlete.

The coaches award this year was given to Dane Wilson. Coach Alcorn praised Wilson for his hard work and says the award was well deserved. The most improved wrestler award went to Julian Suar. Suar’s improvement from last season and throughout the season

led to this honor from the team. The Most Valuable Wrestler award went to Michael Rynkiewich. Rynkiewich has the most wins on the season and was thirty seconds away from moving on to the state wrestling meet in Indianapolis. He was a hard draw for any wrestler that he had this year in his weight class and for that reason he was honored with this award.

The state gives out an award every year known as the mental attitude award and this year Mount Vernon had two wrestlers who were candidates for this award.

Those two were honored

Monday night for their hard work and dedication to the sport while overcoming some pretty big obstacles.

Those two were Josh Hester and Alex Vantlin.

The wrestling program is heading in the right direction at Mount Vernon. Coach Alcorn challenged the student athletes Monday night to stick with it and continue to work hard as he has set the goal of contending for a state championship as a team in two years. And while this sounds like a tough goal, it’s one that can be attained if the athletes put the hard work and dedication that is necessary to achieve it.

Jitters, Mater Dei get the best of Vikings on opening day

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Viking softball team opened the season this week. If there’s one thing the Vikings can take from the season-opening 12-0 loss to the Mater Dei Wildcats, it is the fact there is room for improvement.

Sophomore Haylee Elderkin was on the mound for the Vikings as Number 1 pitcher Ashley Schorr was attending a volleyball showcase in Indianapolis. Coach Gary Gentil was complimentary of the sophomore’s start, despite the fact she gave up some runs.

“We just didn’t hit the ball Saturday and if you can’t hit the ball, you can’t score,” Gentil said of the Vikings’ first outing.

“Mater Dei has eight of their starters back from last year and they have such a strong junior class. They are really riding that junior class. It is full of good athletes. This is the third year for their pitcher.”

Several members of the team also participated in the Mater Dei basketball program which recently won back-to-back state basketball championships. But on Saturday, the theme was softball.

“But we just didn’t play very well at all,” Gentil said. “We showed our nerves and our inexperience. We settled in at different times and made the plays we know we can make, like the double play we got on them. We have the potential there but we just have to get more comfortable playing at this level.”

Elderkin appeared strong in the first couple of innings, despite Mater Dei getting a couple of early scores. But then the physical and mental errors of the Viking defense began piling up, making it increasingly more difficult for the young pitcher.

“We only have one hit and that was by Taylor Patton,” Gentil said. “Their pitcher moves the ball really well and for our fist game, it was a tough outing for us.”

Mater Dei was playing their third game, after having one game canceled this week. The Vikings’ only game so far this year was cancelled on Thursday evening due to the weather.

“We have some goals for Haylee and she struggled a little bit getting the ball too high,” Gentil said. “But there were a couple of innings where the lead-off batter got on by either a physical or mental error and we should have gotten them out.

And that hurts the way you approach the next batter.”

The Vikings get out of the frying pan and jump into the fire as they take a couple days off from practice for spring break.

They will host an equally tough Henderson County team on Friday night before traveling to Carmi, Ill., on Saturday.”

“Their pitcher has been pitching for them since the seventh grade and then we come back to play Carmi on Saturday and Viking junior shortstop Kelsey Owen gets a jump on a they are one of the best teams in Southern Illinois,” Gentil Sophomore Viking pitcher Haylee Elderkin gains valuball hit up-the-middle in the season opener against Ma- said. “We have a lot of potential but we just need a little time able experience during the season opener against Mater ter Dei.

USI takes down SBU Springf eld Quiroz were winners 8-5 in Number 1 action. At Number 2 doubles, freshman Jack Joyce and senior Ben Boesing grabbed the point with an 8-4 win, while senior Rodrigo Flores and junior Santiago Lopez won their Number 3 match 8-6.

USI fell at the Number 1 and Number 2 slots in singles, but took the other four

matches. Lopez won his match 7-6, 7-6, while Joyce was a 6-2, 6-2 winner over SBU’s Daniel Cardona. In the final two singles sets, Boesing was a winner once again as he took the match 6-2, 6-1.
