Board hires Fischer as new Vice Principal Mount Vernon confirms employment of new teachers for 2017-18 By Lois Mittino Gray Many new faces will grace the halls and athletic fields of Mount Vernon Schools next year as the school board hired nineteen new staff members, with several more coming down the pike, at its May 15 meeting. One new face belongs to Justin Fischer, who was hired to be the Mount Vernon High School Vice Principal, for the 2017-18 and 201819 school years. He will fill the position vacated by Matt Thompson, who moves up to principal next year with the retirement of Tom Russell at the end of this school year. Fischer was chosen from among eight who were interviewed out of thirty applicants. Fischer is currently the Vice-Principal of North Vermillion High School in Cayuga, Indiana. He has been in that position for Justin Fischer five years and taught social studies there for three years prior. He has also taught at Columbus North High School and at Riverton Parke Junior-Senior High in Montezuma, Indiana, for a total of twelve years in the education field. The Rockport native plans to relocate here and start in the summer to get oriented to the school and community. In other personnel matters, the board accepted the intent to retire from Terry Seaton as a high school language arts teacher effective at the end of the school year. He has

Food pantry hires new director By Bryana Schreiber The River Bend Food Pantry plays an important role in the community helping those who need it most. Overseen by the Mount Vernon Ministerial Association its mission is to provide families in need with a two- to three-

day emergency supply of food. Each month the pantry serves more than 500 individuals in need. The director role requires someone who is highly organized, able to build relationships and work well with people as well as partner organizations,

By Bryana Schreiber Editor’s note: This will be the first of two articles published in regards to the expansion of the Posey County Jail. If you’ve driven by Brittlebank Park in Mount Vernon recently, you’ve surely seen the jail expansion that’s underway across the street. The two-phase project estimated at $14 to $16 million is progressing well with the first phase, an addition that will increase the facility’s capacity fourfold from 60 to approximately 235 beds, expected to be completed in August. The second phase includes renovating

Medical center funding secure, donations helpful By Dave Pearce Several Poseyville residents have shown concern over the past few days after receiving letters in the mail soliciting contributions for the medical center, now virtually completed and located across the street from North Elementary School. But according to Town Board President Bruce Baker, any concerns should be put to rest because funding for the building has been taken care of. However, the letter allows Poseyville residents to contribute, as they see fit, to help lower the loan amount on the building. “We have been getting donations

in about every day,” Baker said. “The more donations we get in, the better our chances of paying off our debt early and possibly getting additional medical services here in town.” Baker said that several individuals have donated not only money but also their services to help make the medical center a reality. “Church Pearison hired a company to put out a mailer and that’s what people are getting,” Baker explained. “It is asking for donations to the foundation that has built the foundation.”

MSD of North Posey School Board members approved a five-year agreement with Jay Pearison of Superior Team Apparel to exclusively wear Adidas footwear, apparel and accessories.

By Lois Mittino Gray Imagine sitting at a table in Washington D.C. receiving accolades from First Lady Michelle Obama when she encourages your students to “Find Your Amy” everywhere at all times in their young lives. Such a wonderful thing happened to Amy Conrey Andreas, a New Harmony native, who took nine students from Montana on an eye-opening visitation to Sidwell Friends School in the Nation’s capital. The nine students attend Browning High School, near the 1.5 million acre Blackfeet Indian Reservation, next to Glacier National Park in Montana. Amy has been the librarian at the high school for the past three years and was a reading specialist in the

middle school for thirteen years prior, since she first came to Big Sky Country in 2001. “Even though our school is a public school, and not truly a tribal school, 100 percent of our students are from one of the local Native American tribes. Most are Blackfeet. There is a huge cultural difference between our school and others in the United States. It is a neglected culture in American society and a whole different way of life and history. The students feel cut off and separate, as the reservation is its own sovereign nation. Because we are so remote, there are many issues, especially poverty,” the young librarian explained.

Town council discusses flooding on Kraft Lane By Valerie Werkmeister Water drainage problems after the recent flooding event a few weeks ago sparked some discussion during the Poseyville Town Council meeting last Wednesday, May 10. Wes Alexander, who lives on Kraft Lane in Poseyville, attended the meeting to ask council members if there was anything that could be done to prevent flooding in his area. He stated the flood waters caused damage to his house. Jeremy Farrar, a town employee said the town recorded 13 5/8 inches of rain that was received in less than one week’s time. Council members, although sympathetic, explained the area is a natural flood plain. Maps from the nineteenth century show the area was a natural swamp during that time. The water is no longer there on a regular basis, but floods during heavy rain events. Several possible remedies were discussed, including ditch dredging, building a berm, or even providing sandbags to help prevent the flow of water into Alexander’s house. Council president Bruce Baker promised to have town employees review the situation to see if anything can be done to alleviate the situation in the event of another heavy rain. Farrar reminded residents not to blow grass clippings or yard debris from mowing into the streets. The clippings can clog storm sewer drains which will cause flooding problems. Angela McLamb, a resident on Cale Street, expressed concerns about the lack of police

presence in Poseyville while the current town marshal is in training. She explained she recently had to call 911 due to an intruder in her father’s home while she was there. She stated she heard someone try to enter the home and she called 911 at approximately 1:03 a.m. She called 911 again at 1:25 a.m. and dispatchers explained officers were on their way. She stated they didn’t arrive until approximately 1:33 a.m. McLamb was upset that other officers did not respond sooner. She asked if it would be possible to get the Indiana State Police (ISP) to assist with area patrols. Baker along with councilman Ron Fallowfield explained that by calling 911, dispatchers will send the closest available police officer to the scene, including ISP and the Posey County Sheriff’s Department. However, Baker stated he would review the call with 911 to see what took place that evening. Fallowfield presented a copy of a nuisance/sound ordinance from Mount Vernon to review with the town attorney and town marshal Chuck Carter. He stated Carter presented the idea for a new ordinance a few months ago. He has received complaints from residents regarding loud vehicles and motorcycles. Fire Chief Sam Martin requested approval of a new fire department member. The council approved his request to add Logan Martin as a volunteer member. The next council meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 14, at 4:30 p.m. at the town hall.

‘Find Amy’ continued from Page A1 As sponsor of the school’s Human Rights Club, Andreas worked with Gyasi Ross, a Blackfeet poet and author, who put her in touch with Philip McAdoo, Director of Equity, Justice and Community at the swank Sidwell Friends School in Washington DC. The Quaker school is famed for its progressive excellence and privileged students, such as Chelsea Clinton and Malia and Sasha Obama. “Gyasi thought it would be a wonderful cultural exchange. The Sidwell students could learn what is means to be a Native American student in the USA and compare life and their arts. It would be a bridge to understanding, especially since students stayed in student homes. Then this summer, some could come visit us in Montana, where our student worlds revolve around horses and rodeos,” Andreas noted. “Our goal is to make it an exchange every semester, an annual adventure.” The group went to Washington D.C. from March 13 through 21. Two seniors had native names of Harley Running Wolf and Dylan Running Crane. Other seniors were Charro Trombley, Mariah Omeasoo, and Chelsee Pree. Juniors were DaleAnn Cobell, Brendon Galbreath, Hailie Henderson and sophomore Lauryn Johnson. The students gave talks on their life and presented Pendleton blankets, sage and sweetgrass, which are traditional gifts of thanks, in gratitude. Hailie dressed in traditional regalia made by her grandmother as part of explaining the use of traditional clothing in ceremonies during her presentation to the middle school. After the talks, School Headmaster Bryan Garman arranged a surprise meeting with Mrs. Obama. The stunned students and their sponsor hugged her as she closed the doors to

Baker went on to explain that the total cost of the building was about $700,000 and that involved borrowing some of the funds to get the building built in the time that the community had to get it finished. “The land was donated by Bill Bender and that amount, (about $50,000) is included in the total cost of the building,” Baker continued. “There was lot preparation and clearing included and the cost of construction was estimated at about $575,000 but is actually going to come in at about $520,000. The inside and all the new equipment equates to about $53,000 and that was donated. It has taken a lot of meetings to get all of that done.” The town was awarded about $135,000 in Regional Cities Funding and private donations have been coming in all during the building process. “There have been probably about $125,000 in cash donations if you take out the land donation,” Baker continued. “The estimate is going to be about $300,000 remaining in the form of a loan.” But as soon as the building is completely finished,

Former First Lady Michelle Obama gives Amy Conrey Andreas a squeeze during a visit to D.C. Photo submitted a meeting room, shooed out the Secret Service, and talked to them alone for thirty minutes. She said she grew up in the inner city of Chicago, but had big goals. “Many people in big cities live like people on reservations. They are isolated and limited in what they can do and where they can go,” she said. “I found the secret is to ask for help and find people who are out there now willing to help you toward your goals. You say Amy helped get you here, then when you’re in nursing or law school, find your Amy and hang on to that person for dear life! It takes only one person, whether it is you need money or help with a paper; promise me that you’ll ask for help. You are young and not expected to know everything,” the First Lady said. “That’s what these kids at this school know. Behind those doors are students of privilege that plan to go to college. Privilege is the expectation that people are here to help you. They will ask for help in every way and make sure they are known. They introduce themselves

the not-for-profit foundation (Poseyville Medical Foundation, Inc.) will lease the building for approximately $2500 per month and the actual payment amounts to somewhere around $1500 per month. A signed lease agreement is already in place. “We had to push to get this thing accomplished by July 1,” Baker explained. “The weather we had and the contractor

we had played a big part in it. All aspects are complete but the idea is to continue to raise money to decrease the debt so the town can attract other services out here such as x-ray unit to make it more convenient for the entire area.” The original loan was to have been about $410,000 but thanks to donations from the area, the amount of the loan has been reduced to

about $300,000. “The money was already in place to get the building done,” Baker said. “We just had to do something to get a young physician out here and to keep Dr. Burkett in practice where they can practice together. His daughter, Julie, graduates from Deaconess Residency on June 30 and July 1 was the date we had to get the whole thing accomplished.”

to people who can help them and it’s a difference in mind-set. You do that too. You can be privileged. Get that guy’s number! Give them your card! Promise me you’ll go to college of some kind. You need it in today’s world,” Mrs. Obama said with a smile. She them patiently posed for selfies and pictures. The students experienced cultural differences many times, especially when visiting the Capitol building. Their tour guide pointed out the time line of America’s history on the wall which begins with the “discovery” of America by Columbus in 1492. The students knew their ancestors were there long before that and rolled their eyes as the confused tour guide continued. Later the guide pointed out the large painting of Pocohantas’ Baptism, a tourist favorite. “My students were like, well, she just gave up her culture,” Andreas said. “It’s totally another perspective. There were so many white male statues.” The students also enjoyed visiting the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and took pictures by the statue of Montanan Jeannette Rankin. She was the first woman to hold national office in the United States as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1916. In the tunnel from the Capitol, they met politicians Bernie Sanders, Al Franken, John McCain, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz hurrying to a vote. Amy, the daughter of Barbara and Larry Conrey, enjoys her western life with husband Jason and daughter Maya. Together they hike and fly fish and experience the mountain’s call. “We are so grateful for everyone who helped us make the trip. We had a lot of folks who supported us in Montana, Ohio and even several friends and family from Posey County!” she said.

happy trips in it. Cynthiana was such a Mayberry-like town to grow up in during the 50s, and I think it is a blessing to have the memories from that part of my life. My generation had no idea how the world was poised to change, with the turbulent 60s and 70s in our near future. Madeleine, despite the huge diďŹ&#x20AC;erences in the world that you are part of now, recollections of childhood are important. I have written so many times about how I recall the smell of the clean sheets, drying on the clothes line, and seeing my tiny little grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apron full of wooden clothespins. I know how diďŹ&#x192;cult it is for me to do some things that are perplexing to a short person. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how she did a lot of the chores, but she always seemed to manage. I even complain that they keep the diet Canada Dry on the top grocery shelf. I spend a lot of my grocery experience searching for a tall person. Please remember that in the coming years of your life, Madeleine, some things will not change. These are the anchors to cling to, not the superďŹ cial things. No matter what tall mountains you may have to climb, there will always be perfect Spring days. Go outside and let them renew your spirit. I always wish that I could really take your hand and ďŹ&#x201A;y back to the times I so fondly recall, but you will have your own happy memories. Please sit down and talk about them to your children and grandchildren on some incredible Spring day in the future.

Food Drive was a success Thousands of items of food were collected during the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Food Drive on Saturday, May 13 in Mount Vernon. All food items will remain in the Mount Vernon area for distribution, and the items collected in this food drive will make a big difference here in Mount Vernon for the next few weeks when supplies are usually low. According to Sara Gibbs, rural carrier at the Mount Vernon Post Office, approximately 3,200 items were collected and donated to the River Bend Food Pantry and At the Cross Food Pantry. That is up 12 percent from the 2016 food drive. Sara said “I’d like to say thank you to all the rural and city carriers who participated in collecting food for the annual food drive. Thank you to all the United Way of Posey County and Mount Vernon Lions Club volunteers who helped collect the food and deliver it to the local food pantries. Thank you River Bend Food Pantry and At The Cross Food Pantry for having volunteers available to help us bring the food in. And thank you to all of the citizens of Mount Vernon who donated food. I am proud to live in a community where we always go above and beyond to help those in need. It was an excellent 25th annual food drive.” There was a food drive in New Harmony this year also. Food items could be put in a box at the post office and were collected by United Way of Posey County volunteers. Items remain in the New Harmony area for distribution. According to volunteers, approximately 100 items of food were collected.

The New Harmony Project, an annual twoweek writer’s conference in the secluded town of New Harmony, Indiana, runs from May 23 – June 3, 2017. Each spring since 1986, The New Harmony Project has brought together writers from around the country whose works sensitively and truthfully explore the positive aspects of life. This year, The Project is thrilled to welcome Ngozi Anyanwu (Good Grief at Center Theatre Group, upcoming world premiere of The Homecoming Queen at Atlantic Theater Company) and Kirk Lynn (Co-Artistic Director of Rude Mechs, Stop Hitting Yourself at Lincoln Center) as Writers in Full Development. Joining them as Writers in Residence are Mashuq Mushtaq Deen (Award-winning queer theater artist, and a resident playwright at New Dramatists), Sherry Kramer (What a Man Weighs at Second Stage, New York Drama League Award), Mat Smart (2015 Equity Jeff Award Winner for Best New Work in Chicago with Royal Society of Antarctica, Samuel J. and K. at Steppenwolf and Williamstown Theatre Festival), and Lynn Rosen (two-time recipient of the Ensemble Studio Theatre/Alfred P. Sloan New Play Commission and a resident playwright at New Dramatists and Women’s Project Theater). Over the course of the conference, The New Harmony Project offers a retreat from the outside world, and space for writers to fully immerse themselves in their work. The peaceful serenity of New Harmony, the site of two former utopian societies, is a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Writers in Full Development are joined by a full cast and creative team, and spend the conference working on one specific project, hand-picked following a rigorous selection process that saw nearly 300 submissions this year! Writers in Residence are offered support to work on multiple projects, and afforded the freedom to dive deep into their personal process. The New Harmony Project boasts an impressive roster of past participants including Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning writer Robert Schenkkan (All the Way, The Kentucky Cycle), Theresa Rebeck (NBC’s Smash, Seminar), Lee Blessing (Tony and Pulitzer Prize nominee, A Walk in the Woods), Steven Dietz (Lonely Planet), John Pielmeier (Ag-

nes of God, The Exorcist), James Still (Four Time Pulitzer Prize Nominee, The Velocity of Gary), Meredith Stiehm (Emmy Winner, Homeland, Cold Case), Danny Strong (Two Time Emmy Winner, Empire, Lee Daniels’ The Butler), Dan O’Brien (The Body of an American), George Brant (Grounded, Marie and Rosetta), Idris Goodwin (How We Got On, The Way The Mountain Moved), Regina Taylor (Drowning Crow, Crowns), Anna Ziegler (Photograph 51, Actually), Jim Leonard (Major Crimes, Dexter), Mark St. Germain (Freud’s Last Session, The Cosby Show), Angelo Pizzo (Rudy, Hoosiers), Matt Williams (Five Time Emmy Nominee, Home Improvement, Roseanne), David McFadzean (Three Time Emmy Nominee, Home Improvement, Roseanne), and numerous others. The New Harmony Project culminates in the Writers Night Celebration on June 3, 2017 at the award-winning New Harmony Antheneum Visitor’s Center. The event will begin at 5 p.m. (CDT) with wine and hors d'oeuvres, followed at 6 p.m. with a rehearsed reading of Kirk Lynn’s My Heart Is a Library, Yours Is a Museum, and will conclude with sunset cocktails and a celebration of the 2017 company at 8:45 p.m. Throughout the evening, The New Harmony Project will be hosting a silent auction to support the continued success of the mission. Tickets are available for $125 ($85 tax deductible) at newharmonyproject.org. In April of 1986, a group of theater, ﬁlm, and television professionals gathered in Indianapolis to explore the trend in the entertainment arts toward exploitative and sensational material. They concluded there was a need to engage and support writers whose work sought a goal beyond mere entertainment, work that sought to empower and uplift. It was out of this meeting that The New Harmony Project was created. For 31 years, The Project has inspired a community of artists dedicated to this mission, motivated by a desire to support stories of hope, optimism, and the resiliency of the human spirit. The New Harmony Project is a 501(c)(3) non-proﬁt organization. For information on how to support this unique and worthwhile organization, please visit newharmonyproject.org, or follow us on social media.

Farmers’ Markets looking for vendors “The Mount Vernon and Wadesville Farmers’ Market will be open again this summer in the same locations as last year,” said Jon Neufelder, Purdue Extension Educator and Market Master for the Mount Vernon Farmers Market. The Mount Vernon market will be next to the McDonald’s Restaurant on Fourth Street in Mount Vernon again, while the Wadesville Market will be at the intersection of Highway 66 and Springﬁeld Road in Wadesville. The Mount Vernon market will be open every Tuesday, beginning on June 13 from 2 to 6 p.m. throughout the summer.

The Wadesville Market will open on Thursday, June 15 and be open from 3 to 6 p.m. each week through August (weather permitting). “We also encourage and welcome new vendors to our markets. “Whether you raise fruits or vegetables commercially, or just have a large home garden and have extra produce to sell, we would love to have you participate in the markets”, added Neufelder. “You can also sell other items at the Farmers’ Markets (eggs, meat products, baked goods, etc.). Please contact me if you have a question about whether it is something you could sell

at the farmers markets.” For more information, including a vendor registration form and market rules for the Mount Vernon or Wadesville Farmers Markets, please visit the Purdue Extension, Posey County website at: www.extension.purdue.edu/posey and clicking on “Community”.

Bryan Ruder - Financial Advisor with Stifel, Nicolaus and Company You spent the last four years or more earning a degree, countless months sending out resumes, and finally, after your third (or fourth or sixth) interview, you landed your first job – congratulations. Once you’ve paid your bills, bought your groceries, and put gas in your car, you may be wondering what you should do with what’s left of your first paycheck. Below are a few suggestions that may help you understand how important saving even a little bit each paycheck can pay off in the long run. Short-term savings Your first step should be to set up an emergency fund for unexpected expenses, such as new tires for your car. The general rule is that you should have three to six months of savings set aside in cash. You can determine how much this would be over a three-to-sixmonth time period by adding up all of your non-discretionary expenses (the things you have to pay for every month). Long-term savings Once your emergency fund is in place, your second step should be to save for longterm goals. The amount you set aside includes not only the contributions you make to your savings account(s), investment account(s), and retirement account(s), but also any contributions your employer makes as well. The sooner you begin saving, the better, and the less you will have to take out of your paycheck down the road to catch up. Here are some general guidelines: • If you begin saving between ages 18 and 32 – 10-12 percent of monthly income

• If you begin saving between ages 35 and 45 – 13-20 percent of monthly income • If you begin saving between ages 45 and 50 – 15-20 percent of monthly income Retirement Planning So, where should you put your retirement savings? Many people have access to either a 401(k) or 403(b) through their employer. Some employers even offer Roth 401(k) and Roth 403(b) accounts as well. If your employer only offers you one option, then your choice is easy; however, if you are choosing between a 401(k) and a Roth 401(k), for example, there are certain things you need to know: • 401(k) contributions from your paycheck are made with pre-tax dollars. This means your contributions and investment gains in your 401(k) are not taxed until you make withdrawals, which can be taken penalty-free at age 59 and one-half. Typically, if you think you will be in a lower tax bracket in retirement than you are now, a 401(k) makes the most sense. • Roth 401(k) contributions are made with after-tax dollars. This means you pay taxes on your contributions before they go in to the Roth 401(k). However, once you begin withdrawing money from your Roth 401(k) (penaltyfree at age 59 and one-half), both your contributions and investment gains are received tax-free. There are countless financial decisions you will have to make over the years, but by keeping these few things in mind, you can form great saving habits by making the most of every paycheck.

‘Food pantry’ continued from Page A1 the new Director of Operations and brings these skills, along with a fresh perspective to the pantry. Boettcher replaces the previous director, Kimberly Conlin, who is now serving as the President of the Board. The Director of Operations serves as the chair of the Food Pantry board and collaborates with the board and volunteers on the day-to-day operations of the pantry. The director is tasked with raising awareness for the Food Pantry, keeping communication flowing freely amongst board members and volunteers as well as implementing any changes to improve operations. The director works closely with other service organizations and the Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon. “I have been impressed and thrilled by the energy and passion of the food pantry board. I am also excited about the way the board has restructured its leadership to meet the current and future demands and needs of the pantry,” said Rev. Allen D. Rutherford, who serves as the President of the Mount Vernon Ministerial Association. “I was a part of the interview process for the directorship position, along with the food pantry board, and I am thrilled to have Cheryl serving in this role.” While Boettcher has donated food to the pantry over the years through her church and through the school system, she is new to the pantry, which gives her a different perspective than those who have been engrained in the operations. Boettcher is enjoying learning from the board members and volunteers. Her first day on the job was May 3, and she’s spent her time over the last couple weeks training to learn the ins and outs of how the food pantry runs.

Pictured l to r are: new River Bend Food Pantry Director of Operations Cheryl Boettcher; Kathy Gerth, board member and volunteer; Reverend Allen Rutherford, board president; Beth Dingman, treasurer and volunteer; and Gladys Reising, board member and volunteer. Photo by Theresa Bratcher She’s had the opportunity to train with a different board member each day to learn how everything works. “Each board member has a different role that they fill or oversee, such as purchasing, check-in, etc.,” said Boettcher. “It’s been great to get an overview of how the operation runs while also getting to know the board members and volunteers. One thing I know for sure is that I’m fortunate to be working with such a fantastic group of people!” Aside from a short stint in Houston, Texas, Boettcher has been a lifelong resident of Posey County. She graduated from Mount Vernon Senior High School in 1981 and worked in banking and then worked for Bristol Myers, which became Mead Johnson. After marrying her husband, Roy, she had four children, Timothy, Johnathan, Jennifer and Gracia and

dedicated her time to raising her family. She has also cleaned houses and homeschooled during different seasons of their lives. Her three oldest are now married and the youngest is still at home. She also has four grandchildren and one on the way. While she feels blessed to have been able to dedicate her life to raising her children, Boettcher was seeking an opportunity to re-enter the workforce and sought an opportunity that would offer some flexibility. She had begun to mention that she was looking for a part-time position and people would let her know when things came up. Someone had seen the position on Facebook and after reviewing the post she decided to apply. Once she got the chance to meet the people at the pantry, she loved their attitudes and recognized that they had a strong sense of camarade-

rie. That’s really what drew her to the position. “I just can’t say enough good things about the people I’ve met at the pantry,” said Boettcher. “The coupling of the opportunity to work with great people to support a great cause was too good to pass up.” Through her years of running a home and homeschooling Boettcher has mastered the art of managing her time and is extremely self-motivated. She is an experienced homemaker and takes pride in being highly organized. Although Boettcher has only been on the job for a couple weeks she’s been impressed with what she’s seen. “I’ve been so impressed with the organization and the systems that are in place to make everything run smoothly. I love that the pantry is set up like a small grocery store, which makes it nice for those we’re serv-

ing,” said Boettcher. In addition to getting to know the board members and volunteers, she’s also met those who are being served. “It’s been interesting to not only see the pantry in operation but also to meet the people who come in for assistance. I’ve found that people are often coming in because they themselves are helping others, and that’s been touching,” said Boettcher. As an example, Boettcher has met families who are taking in other people’s children for those who aren’t able to care for their own children. While they’re trying to help others they may not always have room in their budget to financially cover the additional needs. Boettcher looks forward to serving in her new role and building on the foundation that’s been laid. “My hope is to be able to serve in a way that adds to the good works that the previous director, board members and volunteers have already established and are carrying out,” said Boettcher. “I’m thrilled with the current operations and look forward to being a part of continuing to make improvements and build relationship so we can ultimately help more people.” The River Bend Food Pantry is located in the Hedges Central Community Building at 716 Locust Street in Mount Vernon, and is open from 9 a.m. to noon Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Sermon of the Week: What About The United States? By Pastor Timothy Johnson, Countryside Baptist Church Is the United States in the Bible? More speciﬁcally – Is

the United States in Biblical Prophecy? These are questions I hear often. If not these, someone will pull out a particular passage and ask if

something in it is a reference to America. The general reason behind these questions is because of the world situation today. In the neighborhood of the world, the United States is the big guy on the block. She pretty much has been since WWII. Also, many Christians believe that the recreation of Israel in 1948 marked the beginning of the last days. Putting these two items together, with the prophecies of Jesus and others contained in the Bible, then it would seem reasonable that the

United States would be a major player in the wars and rumors of wars, the rise of the Antichrist, the natural disasters, and other events as prophesied in the Scriptures. Many believe specific Biblical passages refer to the USA because of the wording. An example would be the “young lions” of Ezekiel 38:13. The problem with this is we must grab things from outside the Bible to make the Bible fit our theory. The explanation of the “young lions” being the United States flows like this - Since

America won its independence from England, and a lion is prominent on the English coat of arms, along with America’s relatively young age as a nation, and the fact that America is made up of ﬁfty individual states then “young lions” must refer to the United States. Could God use “young lions” as a reference to the USA? He could have, but there is not enough evidence within the Bible to dogmatically claim that He did. The prophecies of the Bible will always use other Bible passages to bring us to a clear interpretation of the prophecy (2 Peter 1:20). Again, because of America’s power and prominence in the world, many believe, especially Americans, that the US must be a part of Biblical end time prophecy. The thought is since America was not around when the Bible was written then God had to use obscure references like “young lions” when writing about America. The problem with that is God is not limited to what man can do. There is much documentation that God had the prophet Isaiah mention King Cyrus by name 150 years before hand (Isaiah 44:28; 50:1). He then goes on in detail about what Cyrus would do. A century and a half later; appears on the scene and Cyrus does it. Could God had named America in the Scriptures before she ever became a nation? He did it with King Cyrus, so the answer is yes. But He did not. Could God be referring to the USA with obscure wording such as the “young lions?” He

could have, but there lacks evidence when using the standard rules of Biblical interpretation. So what about the United States? Is she in Bible prophecy? There are over a hundred passages that talk of “all nations.” The US, of course, are part of these. Maybe we Americans should swallow our pride a little bit and understand that there will be things happening on the world stage and we will not be the center of it. In many of these things, it appears we will not be a major player. Our influence in the Middle East dwindled during the last decade. Russia has risen as the lead negotiator and leader in shaping Middle East policy. Only Israel seem to turn to America first anymore. Iran has advanced to have its fingers all over the scales in the balances of power throughout the region. Russia and Iran are the two largest players in the prophecy of Ezekiel 38 mentioned above. Has American foreign policy of the last decade or more set the stage for the words of Ezekiel to come to pass? Time will tell, and only God knows. The great chess game of history is being played, and God is preparing for His final moves. Preacher Johnson is Pastor of Countryside Baptist Church in Parke County Indiana.

Five staff members were given permission to travel to seven events. One includes travelling with students to the Seaperch National Competition in Atlanta,

Georgia on May 19-21. Sunday travel permission was approved. The NAVY will run the competition at the Georgia Tech Center and students and chaperones will be housed at Georgia State University. In other board action: • Permission was granted to advertise for cafeteria bids for the 2017-18 school year on May 24 and 31 in local media. The bids for food and supplies are due on June 8 at 10 a.m. in the administration office and will be approved at the June 19 school board meeting. • Entered into an agreement with the Evansville Christian Life Center for the Truth Talk Program for the period of June 1, 2017 through July 1,2018.

‘Jail project’ continued from Page A1 those overseeing the project continue to work closely with contractors to manage the project timeline and control costs. Expansion and Renovation The existing jail facility was built in the late 1970’s prior to having personal computers or security cameras. While these have been added over the years, it has been a somewhat of piecemeal approach and modernization is in order for various reasons. When the jail was initially built in 1978 it was intended to serve as a temporary holding facility for individuals who could not make bond. Individuals were held in the Posey County jail as they awaited trial. If the individual was found innocent, he or she would be released, and those who were found guilty would transfer to another facility to serve their sentence through the Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC). Over the years there have been a number of changes not only in technological advancements, but also in legislature, the criminal code and the classification of inmates, which now requires separate holding facilities for special populations including females, individuals suffering from mental health issues, sex offenders, etc. There has also been an increase in crime. These changes have contributed to overcrowding in county jails around the state and the need for additional staff to watch over the inmates. All of these contributing factors have made the jail expansion and renovation a necessity. “We are now mandated to house indi-

Posey County Sheriﬀ Greg Oeth, left, and Posey County Community Corrections Program Director Matt Schneider, right, stand in front of the jail expansion which will increase the facility’s capacity four-fold from 60 to approximately 235 beds. The project is expected to be completed in August. Photo by Theresa Bratcher viduals who at one time would have been leaving our facility to start and finish a sentence with the IDOC. Currently about one-third of our inmates are serving their full sentence within our facility, and we keep bringing in offenders so capacity issues have played a major role in our decision to move forward with the expansion,” said Greg Oeth, who has served as the Posey County Sheriff since 2011. Looking Forward Oeth has had a long career in law

enforcement and has benefited from being part of larger operations and learning from the systems they have in place. He and his staff are looking forward to the completion of the project and the benefits it will offer. “We have made our current facility work, but at times we have had to do things like put bunk beds in a conference room to accommodate lower level offenders because we were overcrowded, and that’s certainly less than ideal. This project has been a long time coming,” said Oeth. “We’re

looking forward to having a modernized facility with enhanced security so we’re no longer operating with keys and cranks to open doors. At the end of the day, the biggest part of my job is to keep our community safe and protect the county from any kind of liability, and this facility will help accomplish that.” The modernized facility will allow for the jail to not only address overcrowding and enhance security, but it will also enable the county to take in inmates from other counties helping to alleviate the strain on their systems and providing a source of revenue for Posey County. Additionally, with the added space the Posey County jail will have the opportunity offer more counseling as well as addiction recovery, faith-based and educational programs, etc. which help reduce repeat offenses. Organizations that are looking forward to utilizing the increased space to offer services include Beyond the Wall Ministries and Willow Tree, among others. The classrooms will also be used for Thinking for a Change, a cognitive behavioral education program for Posey County Community Corrections Program participants. “Currently our staff is limited on space where they can move inmates to participate in these types of programs because of security issues, but in the new facility rooms are being built in a secure area to allow more inmates to benefit from these programs,” said Oeth.

‘Adidas’ continued from Page A1 amount of time,” said Scott Strieter, high school principal. Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp also thanked Pearison for his help in securing the agreement with Adidas. “I think it’s a really good deal for the school. Adidas is trying to have a bigger presence in southern Indiana. We became an Adidas dealer about five years ago and they asked us to get out and look for opportunities to showcase their brand. We recommended North Posey and these talks have been going on for about a year. It’s a great opportunity for the school. Not everybody is getting the same kind of deal that North Posey is getting,” Jay Pearison said. He explained this is the first entire school deal that Adidas has in southern Indiana. There are other schools in northern and central Indiana who exclusively use Adidas team apparel. Pearison added that Adi-

das’ pricing will beat all other competitors as they really focused on making the agreement attractive to North Posey to be the first school in the southern region to use their apparel. Board member Geoff Gentil said that although the deal is exclusive to the high school at this time, he encouraged communication to coaches at the junior high, elementary and youth league level to take part in the opportunity as well. Pearison also discussed the importance of the team brand. “Our school and our community needs to present a professional brand. When we go and we play teams in sectionals or regular season, we need to go and have one brand, one “NP”, one Viking and we need to go there and people will say, “North Posey is here.” We can’t show up and look haphazard,” Pearison said. School officials are aware it will take time to transition

all apparel to Adidas. They discussed that some athletes may have already purchased footwear or cleats in other name brands. Those athletes will be allowed to wear those items. The school will provide uniforms and team packages from Adidas. The resignation of two high school science teachers sparked discussion among board members regarding the future of the Project Lead the Way science program. Dr. Camp stated the positions will be difficult to fill as not many applicants are qualified to teach the program. Some students currently taking classes in the program may be in jeopardy of being able to finish their classes if the positions aren’t filled for the upcoming school year. However, Dr. Camp assured board members that they would do everything possible to find new teachers. He did express concerns since University of Southern Indi-

ana did not have any graduates in the science education field. Board members questioned whether the classes could be taken online. Unfortunately, that’s not a possibility. Some students may be able to take advantage of classes at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center, if their schedules allow. Parents will be able to make payments for book rental, fees and lunch accounts using their credit cards. The board agreed to a year to year contract with Vantiv for the new payment processing system. There will be a $2 per transaction service charge. Internet services will be a little less expensive as the board agreed to a five-year contract with ENA. Bandwidth will also be boosted from 100 Mbps to 500 Mbps. The district will realize a $3,456 savings per year with the new service cost of $14,880 per year.

Not a quitter

B G A Whoever said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bowl of cherriesâ&#x20AC;? was either jokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or crazy - maybe both. I remember an old guy I used to see around town whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Piece of cake,â&#x20AC;? every time I asked him how it was goin.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; To be honest, he always had the persona heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just lost his best friend or the dog bit him the day before. He was a grump for sure, but at least he spoke when spoken to. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d whisper something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah Right!â&#x20AC;? when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say that. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d often retaliate by giving me a verbal lashing of, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d you say?â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d counter with something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great day! Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it?â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d often grunt and go on. Then there was the time my aunt and uncle treated my brother and me to some ice cream after church. She was a big woman, much larger than my uncle, and wore the pants. It was obvious heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had his ďŹ ll of her nagging that day and when he opened the door for her he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get outta the car Fatso!â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for her blood to boil, and she blurted out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d you say?â&#x20AC;? My uncle immediately became quite meek and whimpered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing dear.â&#x20AC;? Life ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy. Some circumstances we

bring upon ourselves; others we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help. Then there are the outside forces of others prying upon us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reminded of someone else in my past that once said Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d amount to nothing more than a sanitation engineer. (Poor gal wound up losing her mind and was institutionalized.) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had my shares of ups and downs, made mistakes, been beat up, knocked down, spit on a time or two, dealt my fair share of lumps of coal, and been bit by ďŹ&#x201A;uďŹ&#x20AC;y, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been a quitter! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wondered what makes people just give up, or kill themselves. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t claim to be a genius, but I know in my soul itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lack of HOPE that makes people do such things. Call me a dreamer, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with that, but I have expectation each morning. I have a faith in someone higher than me, a desire to inspire before I expire that drives me. I remember that bully in school, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always one! Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d beat on anybody that looked at him wrong, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fear him like everyone else. I was dumb, I guess, and stood up to him one day. He was a good foot taller than me, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. He hit me and I countered with a swing. He

knocked me down. I brushed myself oďŹ&#x20AC; and got back up. He knocked me down. I got back up, and he knocked me down again. I think he got tired of that after a while, cause he walked away. Oddly enough, he never picked on anyone again after that. There could be a whole lot said about those who wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit.

Guest Column: Mel Gurtov, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Portland State University Trump in Saudi Arabia: With friends like these Donald Trump seems to be more popular in Saudi Arabia than in the United States. And the House of Saud knows just how to take advantage of that perception. Borrowing a page from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art of the Deal,â&#x20AC;? the kingdom, in exchange for an elaborate welcome of Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entourage and $55 billion in (promised) business deals, was sold $110 billion in weapons over the next decade. This sale, supposedly for defense, in fact will help ensure the security of the monarchy, not the security of the Persian Gulf or any other country. King Salman and his inner circle understand Trump very well: appeal to his ego with great pomp and circumstanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;plus a gold chain to wearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;promise him the world on ďŹ ghting ISIS, agree that Iran is the principal common enemy, and send him on his way with assurances of eternal friendship. (About the only ego-satisfying thing the Saudis couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do is lodge Trump in one of his hotels. Trump had to settle for the Ritz-Carlton, but who knows what will follow.) Saudi Arabia is not being threatened by Iran or anyone else. But the kingdom is a threat to others, speciďŹ cally to Yemen, where Saudi bombs have killed numerous civilians and laid the poorest Arab country to waste. Saudi Arabia in fact is committing war crimes in Yemenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which, to be fair, also happened during Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure, when the Saudis received logistical and intelligence support. Meantime, Saudi Arabia contributes nothing to resolve the most diďŹ&#x192;cult Middle East issues, such as the

Israel-Palestine conďŹ&#x201A;ict and Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civil war. Nor will they get rid of madrasas (religious schools) that preach wahhabism at home, nurturing future terrorists. Expect the Trump administration to proclaim that it has eďŹ&#x20AC;ectively overridden Saudi Arabiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estrangement from the US during the Obama years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Partnershipâ&#x20AC;? is the word of the day, but that is as tentative now as it was beforeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a cover for mutual suspicion, limited common interests (which include disregard for human rights), and love of oil. Trump has a long history of criticism of Saudi Arabia, has demeaned Muslims since Day One of his campaign, and seeks to keep as many Muslims as possible out of the US. His preaching of respect for all religions rings hollow; no rightminded person would take his speech seriouslyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all the more so as it was written by Stephen Miller, the pride of Breitbart and a well-known demonizer of Muslims. As for the House of Saud, it is what it always has been: a repressive, oil-rich regime resistant to political and social change and a consistent human-rights violator at home and abroad. As Human Rights Watch reports: Through 2016 the Saudi Arabia-led coalition continued an aerial campaign against Houthi forces in Yemen that included numerous unlawful airstrikes that killed and injured thousands of civilians. Saudi authorities also continued their arbitrary arrests, trials, and convictions of peaceful dissidents. Dozens of

human rights defenders and activists continued to serve long prison sentences for criticizing authorities or advocating political and rights reforms. Authorities continued to discriminate against women and religious minorities. Michael Dolan of the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank, argues that Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trip provides an opportunity to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trump Doctrineâ&#x20AC;? that will remedy the weaknesses of prior US policy, particularly toward Iran. Dolan says that Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard-nosed ethos and willingness to question foreign policy dogmasâ&#x20AC;? can be the basis for this shift. Saudi Arabia, along with Israel and Turkey, should be the key allies in a coalition to deter Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a gift to two authoritarian regimes and one, Israel, that under Benjamin Netanyahu rejects an equitable peace with the Palestinians. Dolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;steely-eyed realismâ&#x20AC;? is actually crackpot realism. It ensures continued repression and warfare by the Saudi government using US weaponsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;continued,â&#x20AC;? because the deal actually builds on a $115-billion weapons sale concluded during the Obama administration. Such realism is also likely to ensure ongoing conďŹ&#x201A;ict between Israelis and Palestinians, and quite possibly the undoing of a nuclear agreement with Iran, giving Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hawks reason to revive its nuclear-weapons program and support anti-US groups throughout the Middle East. In short, if Trump buys into Dolanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;steely-eyed realism,â&#x20AC;? it will mean adopting an old doctrine, not a new oneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;namely, win-

ning the favor of repressive regimes with more money and weapons, and in return getting blowback in the form of terrorism, weakening of civil society, abuses of human rights, and strengthening of autocratic rule. If the human interest guided US relations with Saudi Arabia, military aid would be drastically reduced, particularly weapons and other help for the Saudis to continue their air war in Yemen. To be brutally honest, the US does not need Saudi Arabiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;certainly not for its oil, which a long-term US energy policy focused on renewable energy sources and conservation would ensure. Relations with the Saudis should be thoroughly reevaluated in the context of major changes in US policy toward the Middle East as a wholeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including elimination of the tilt to Israel, development assistance to the Palestinians, deepening of engagement with Iran (especially now that Hassan Rouhani has won reelection), a refocusing on helping build civil societies, and an end to interventions in Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan. Foreign policy begins at home, however. The best thing the Trump administration, or any administration, can do to promote meaningful national security is to seriously confront climate change, move away from reliance on fossil fuels, promote universal health care, and run a transparent, trustworthy government.

Guest Column: State Rep. Wendy McNamara Strengthening Education This session we remained focused on strengthening our commitment to education in Indiana. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I voted to increase the base funding for each K-12 student in our community and statewide. Additionally, I supported several measures that provide more tools and resources to Hoosier students and teachers: Increasing Course Options: A new law providing access to specialty classes and programs not provided at certain schools will help all students regardless of where they are enrolled. Whether small, rural or urban, some schools may lack the necessary resources to provide advanced classes or trade programs in high-demand areas. Retaining New Teachers: A new law establishing a mentorship program for new Hoosier teachers and administrators will en-

G G

courage those in their ďŹ rst and second year to remain in the classroom. Studies suggest that most new teachers believe having access to a mentor has the largest impact on developing their eďŹ&#x20AC;ectiveness as an educator. Reforming School Funding: A new measure creating two funding categories for schools, an education fund and an operations fund, will provide greater ďŹ nancial ďŹ&#x201A;exibility. Indiana invests over half of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget in K-12 education, but only 57 percent of school funding reaches classrooms. By allowing transfers between these two funds, schools will be able to direct more dollars where needed. Our students hold the keys to our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bright future and I am dedicated to supporting commonsense policies like these that help them grow and succeed.

â&#x2122;Ş WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S IT ALL ABOUT? â&#x2122;Ş

When a non-English speaking person appears in an Indiana courtroom the judge can call the B J

J R

Indiana Supreme Court hotline and get access to a certified translator. But what can we do when the words spoken by others do not fit into one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6,500 languages? When one watches mothers with babies it is obvious the babies feel the unquestioned love. However, as we age meanings get fuzzier. Mothers might urge general cautions to young children then threaten unspecified mayhem to teenagers. Grandmothers may impart gentle lessons on useful crafts while grandfathers might impress grandchildren with stories that could be true. As to fathers, many children are left to decipher what is meant by a grunt or a pointed index finger. In elementary school we get direct teachings on such important life lessons as where and how to line up our things and how not to bother the things of others. In junior high school teachers help us to face the unwelcome realization we are not as cute as we thought. And in high school it slowly begins to sink in that not only are we not cute, but we might even be required to do some work. However, it is

in college where we are made to understand that what we say is usually not treasured by others. Should you have been sentenced to participate in athletics at any level, your coaches most likely considered shouted invective a proper means of communication. And if you ever went through basic training in the military you are probably still laboring under a cloud of expletive ladened non-explanations for completing completely worthless tasks. Those of you who, as was I, were reared in some religion may have often been mystified by lessons rolled into parables or analogies. Of course, that was more comfortable than the threats of eternal damnation. In contemporary life we may find it difficult to communicate with other groups. For example, older people may hear gibberish spoken by the young and simply write them off as spoiled. On the other hand, the young may simply write the old off as old. When politicians speak it is often to portray their opponents as liars or corrupt while the news media makes no effort to analyze any complicated issue. To take guidance from either of these groups is to proceed without a safety net. I am not sure what advertisers want me to buy. It used to be some normal person would sing a little ditty such as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You deserve a break todayâ&#x20AC;?, and I would pull into McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Now when I watch TV I have no clue what I am supposed to O M M G

waste my money on. Movies are no longer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your best entertainmentâ&#x20AC;?. When Dirty Harry said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go ahead, make my dayâ&#x20AC;?, I got it. However, when the hero or heroine of a movie is a machine run amok, I might as well have saved the twenty bucks it cost for a Coke and popcorn. But now that you have struggled to almost the end of these examples of non-communication, the ultimate human foreign language must be mentioned, Female Speak. I ask you, why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wives simply say what they mean? What occurred in the Garden of Eden to render asunder understanding between the sexes? One example is all I have space left for. You may have noticed it is spring. Well, so has Peg. And when spring arrives at JPeg Ranch communication between Peg and me exits as the hummingbirds and onion sets appear. I ask you, Gentle Reader, is it a felony to lie on the couch on Saturday morning? When Peg mumbles under her breath, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The garden looks like it needs tillingâ&#x20AC;?, how am I supposed to gain from that she wants me to immediately drop my coffee and attack the unoffending soil? How about, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim, would you please till the garden?â&#x20AC;? I would have got that; a daylong period of icy silence would have been unnecessary.

Cats confident on the diamond By Brandon Cole After winning 10 of the last 13 games, Mount Vernon will prepare to begin the IHSAA Sectional Baseball Tournament with a game against a familiar foe. After besting Gibson Southern (7-1) on Saturday, the Wildcats will travel to Evansville on Wednesday with hopes of repeating. An early lead helped the Wildcats defeat Gibson Southern 7-1 on Saturday. Mount Vernon scored on a single by Walker Paris in the first inning, an error in the first inning, a single by Austin Brakie in the first inning, a single by Tanner Curtis in the first inning, and a home run by Paris in the second inning. Curtis earned the win for the Wildcats.

He threw three innings, giving up zero runs, two hits, striking out three and walking zero. Two relievers helped the Wildcats close out the victory. Dylan Dutkiewicz threw three innings. Smith took the loss for Gibson Southern. He went one and onethird innings, surrendering seven runs, and ﬁve hits. Paris and Curtis each drove in two runs to lead the Wildcats. Gibson Southern had ﬁve hits in the game. Colbert and Fireline each collected multiple hits for Gibson Southern. “We played them Saturday, but we didn’t throw our guy that we will throw at them on

Vikings strong this week Morlock back in action on mound

By Dave Pearce On Monday the Vikings took action against the 18-1 Washington Hatchets. The Vikings were up for the challenge. The Vikings started senior Ethan Morlock, nearly recovered from plaguing injuries) and he was firing on all cylinders. He struck out seven batters in his five innings worth of work and held the very potent Washington offense to four runs. In the sixth inning the Vikings went to senior Dalton Rankin and in the seventh inning junior Brandon Hamman to maintain the lead for the Vikings. Both pitchers did a good job of keeping the Hatchets from the big rally. But the hero of the day was the Vikings’ bats, which sometimes this year has been non-existent. The Vikings exploded for 12 runs on ten hits which seemed to stun the Hatchets. The Vikings were led on offense

by two hit leaders Shane Harris who hit a double and scored twice, Corey Heath who hit a triple and scored twice and catcher Seth Morrow who also hit a double. Wyatt Lyke, Ethan Morlock and Wes Voegel all scored twice as well. Tuesday was an entirely diﬀerent result. The Vikings traveled to Lynnville right after school to take on the Tecumseh Braves in a double header. The two games were planned because of the rainout from earlier in the season. Because of the previous moisture issues in Poseyville (home to the scheduled rainout) the Vikings were deemed the home team in the opener and conference game. The Vikings and Braves battled at one another for the whole game as the two starters for both teams pitched tremendous games. Shane Harris pitched for the Vikings and Hahn pitched for the Braves. The Braves got the upper hand in the ﬁrst inning with one run and held the lead until the top of the seventh inning

when they pushed two more across the plate. The Vikings just could not hit the ball where there wasn’t a Tecumseh Brave baseball player waiting for it. The Vikings did manage three hits for the first game but none were good enough to plate anyone. Tecumseh wins the opener 3-0. In the second contest the Vikings followed the same pattern as in the first game except in the second game the Vikings struggled with the glove as well. Defensively, the Vikings committed four errors in the 9-run fourth inning for Tecumseh. The Braves ended up winning this one 10-0 on a very disappointing evening for the Vikings. Saturday the Vikings and Marksmen from Tell City clashed for another make-up PAC game. But this game was doomed from the very beginning. Rain played havoc with the field in Tell City Friday night and the grounds crew worked very

Viking track shows spirit at Sectionals Special to the News What the North Posey girls track team lacked on the scoreboard they made up in spirit on Tuesday night at the Mount Vernon sectional. With a trip to the regionals on the line, North Posey’s girls competed to finish in the top three — which would qualify them “to get out” to the regional next Tuesday at Evansville Central. Danielle Perry led the way for the Vikings by placing fourth in the high jump, but qualifying for the regionals by virtue of being in the next top two of the four sectionals that feed into the Evansville Regional. “We were very proud of Danielle,” said first-year Head Girls Coach Jessica Smith. “She has shown grit and determination all season especially in the high jump,” she added. For the other North Posey “tracksters” it was a long night against stellar competition as Evansville North ran away with the sectional title and scored 104 points. The other girls to put points on the board for North Posey were all members of relay teams. The 3200-relay team of Jasmine French, Emma Goebel, senior Jade Hatcher, and Danielle Perry finished in seventh place and the 400 relay team of Maddie Cates, Sam Little, Elise O’Risky and senior Hannah Voegel finished in eighth place. “Just two of those girls are graduating so we have the nucleus of good relay teams coming back next year,” Smith commented. There were some other good performances turned in by Elise O’Risky in the 100, where she finished eleventh overall and the 200, (twelfth overall). Perry was also fourteenth in the 400 while Goebel finished eleventh in the 3200. Running in her last 3200 was senior Jade Hatcher and running in her last hurdle race and jumping the long jump for the last time for North Posey was senior Hannah Voegel. “It will be really sad to the seniors go,” said Coach Smith. “Rachael Goedde (who mostly ran long distance this year), Hannah, Jade, and Cidney Colbert (who finished in fifteenth place in the shot put) provided leadership and will really be missed,” she added. Junior Lindsey Koester turned in a fine performance in the 1600 (sixteenth overall) as well as Jasmine French. Maddie Cates joined Voegel in the 100 and 300 hurdle races where she finished ninth and thirteenth respectively. Girl’s Sectional team scores were: Evansville North with 104, Reitz with 89, Castle with 83, Bosse with 71, Boonville with 68 ½, Mount Vernon with 53, Mater Dei with 42, Central with 36, Harrison with 34, Reitz with 25 ½,

Other Viking girls who competed included Taylor Vaughn in the discus throw (she finished seventeenth overall), Kaitlin Wright in the 400 and Emily Barthlow in the 200. The Viking coaches and parents are planning an Viking Track awards night for both the boys and girls at North Posey High School in the cafeteria starting at 6 pm. Pizza, drinks, and chips will be provided and parents are welcome to bring a dessert but nothing is required. Any participant who did not turn in their uniform can bring it and turn it into the coaches at that time. At the Boys Sectional at Evansville Central on Thursday, the story of the night was the determination of Josh Wiggins to make some noise in his events at this prestigious meet and he came through. The senior hurdler, sprinter, and jumper finished first in dramatic fashion in the 300 hurdles, second in the 110 hurdles, he was part of the fourth place finishing 4o0 relay team and his long jump was good enough for eighth place at the Evansville Sectional on Thursday night.

With Evansville North’s Nathaniel Jackson and Evansville Memorial’s Stacen Cunningham battling it out for ﬁrst and second in the 300 hurdles, Wiggins came from behind to pass both on the last hurdle of the race. “North’s Coach, and former NPHS runner Lonnie Wilson indicated after the meet that Jackson thought he had it won when Cunningham clipped the last hurdle with his spike, and then somebody (who turned out to be Wiggins) blew by both of them,” said Head Boys’ Coach Mike Kuhn. “Josh was determined to win that race,” he added. Wiggins earlier battled through the prelims in the 110 hurdles to position himself against Evansville favorite Cunningham and Castle’s Trey Slaughter. He was able to beat Slaughter but Cunningham just nipped the Viking stand-out by half of a second. Wiggins ran a 15.7 in that race and a season-best 39.75 in the 300s. He also joined fellow seniors Isaac Mayer, Luke Gries, and junior Alex Stewart on the fourth-place ﬁnishing 400 relay team. Finally, Wiggins jumped 20 feet- 1 inch in the long jump against incredibly

Photo by Garry Beeson talented competition to record an eighth place finish in that event. “Josh is going to run track next year for Wabash,” said Assistant Coach Justin Wagner, “and he will be a fine addition to that impressive college track team.” Other Viking tracksters got in on the heroics in various events. This included freshman Kyle Stewart’s fourth place finish in the long jump — a 20-feet 9 ¼-inch effort and junior thrower Dylan Butts’ 43 feet 2 inch hurl of the shot put, which put him in fifth place for the meet. Junior Drake Rogers finished sixth in the high jump with senior Noah Scheller joining him with an eighth place jump. The 1600 relay team of Rogers, juniors Austin Pearison, Dave Bender (who finished eighth in the open 400), and Jack Heldt also placed eighth. . Senior Cameron Fisher maneuvered his way into the finals to place eighth in the 110s as well and just barely missed scor-

ing in the 300 hurdles. The 3200 relay team ﬁnished with seventh place ribbons and included Julian Herke, Elijah Miles, Jacob French, and senior Layne Coleman. Also running for the Viking sectional track team was senior Willy Howard in the middle and long distance events. Sophomore Christian Mills threw the discus and Junior Sylvester Folz ran the 3200. “It will be bittersweet to see the seniors go,” said Coach Kuhn. “We’ve had a lot of great memories together,” he added. Boys Sectional team scores were: Castle with 150, Harrison with 141, Mount Vernon with 65, North with 54, Memorial with 44, Mater Dei with 34, Reitz with 31, North Posey with 30, Bosse with 23, Cental with 23, Boonville with 19, and Evansville Day with 4. Those tracksters who successfully “got out” to the regionals will compete Thursday night at Central.

NP tennis starts sectional strong By Conner Voegel President Abraham Lincoln once said, “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” The future is simply a scary thing. You do not know what is going to happen, but I guess that is also the crazy, fun thing about it. However, as I look upon this 2017 class of North Posey, especially the seniors, I see confident, dedicated, and resilient leaders. The Vikings started off sectional play against a very strong Central Bears team. The Vikings had already lost earlier in the season to the Bears, but that gave them something to prove. One singles, Amanda Marshall, came out victorious 6-1, 6-4, two singles, Baylee Willman, won a nail-biter 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, but three singles, Annie Goetz was defeated 6-2, 6-0. For the doubles end, one doubles, Kamryn Brandenstein and Kennady Livers ended up falling 6-0, 6-2, but two doubles, Kendra Schorr and Veronica Inkenbrandt, came out victorious 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. The Vikings ended up winning their first sectional match 3-2, and next on the list was rival Mount Vernon. After the strong message they put forth when they defeated Central, the Vikings

went into this match confident. Marshall won yet another match going 6-3, 6-0, Willman came out victorious with a 6-2, 6-0 win, and Geotz ended up winning 6-0, 6-0. For the doubles, Brandenstein and Livers won 6-0, 6-2 while Schorr and Inkenbrandt won 6-2, 6-2. The Vikings ended up going 5-0 on the night, and continued to look strong. Next on the schedule was the sectional championship against Mater Dei. The Vikings played well, but ended up being defeated by the Wildcats. Marshall was defeated 6-3, 6-0, Willman was defeated 6-0, 6-1, and Goetz was defeated 6-1, 6-0. For the doubles, Brandenstein and Livers ended up falling 6-2, 6-0 while Schorr and Inkenbrandt lost 6-4, 7-5. The season has come to an end, and with that so does the high school career of our seniors. The girl’s tennis team will be losing five seniors. All five plan to attend a university. Amanda Marshall plans to attend Indiana University to study optometry. Kendra Schorr plans to attend Indiana University to study biochemistry. Kamryn Brandenstein plans to attend Indiana State University to study in the medical field. Baylee Willman plans

to attend The University of Southern Indiana to study geriatric nursing. Finally, Veronica Inkenbrandt plans to attend The University of Evansville to study English literature. While they leave North Posey, it is important to remember the great memories you have made throughout your entire high school career. Here soon, you all will embark on diﬀerent journeys. Some will go to school at home and others will travel away. However, while you all will soon start on the new journeys, you all also have something in common. You are and will always be Vikings.

Boys, girls sixth in track Sectional By Brandon Cole The Mount Vernon girl’s track team placed sixth in the IHSAA Sectional 22 meet at Mount Vernon on Tuesday night. The boys also finished sixth in their respective sectional. Both teams will send participants to Regional this week. North won the girl’s meet with 104 points, followed by Memorial with 89, Castle with 83, Bosse with 71, Boonville with 68.5, Mount Vernon with 53, Mater Dei with 42, Central with 36, Harrison with 34, Reitz with 25.5, Day School with 9, and North Posey with 8. Advancing to Regionals next week at Evansville Central are: Brooke Green- second in 100 meter and 200 meter; Makenna Russell- third in shot put; Arianna Wilkerson, Courtney Bourne, Cydney Cole and Brooke Green- 400 relay. Also placing: Kayanna Frenchfourth in discus, Cydney Colefifth in 100 hurdles, Emma Weilbrenner- fifth in shot put, Taylor Collins, Rachel Krieger, Sarah Kelley, Madison Rodgers- 3200 meter relay, Courtney Bourne- sixth in 200 meter and eighth in 100 meter, Arianna Wilkerson- eighth in 100 hurdles, Summer Sanders- eighth 800 meter, Taylor Brooks, Hallie Fisher, Madison Rodgers, Summer Sanders- eighth in 1600 meter relay. Austin Peerman will move on to regionals with a second place finish in the 200 and a fourth place finish in the 100 dash. Cam Maier will advance with a second place discus finish and a third place pole vault finish. The 3200 meter relay with Cade Latshaw, Noah Rapp, Micah Keller and Jonathon West will also advance. “We had a good night,” said Wildcats coach Steve Brenton. “Peerman advanced in the 100 and 200. He will be the sixth seed in the 100 and second seed in the 200. McBride set a new sectional record in the 200, to win. Peerman ran a fantastic turn and was ahead of McBride for the first 140, then McBride pulled away. McBride just signed a full ride with the University of Louisville Thursday, so he is legit. So is Austin and he will be back next year.” Cam Maier advanced in the Discus and Pole Vault. “He will be fourth seed in the regional in Discus,” said Brenton. “He will be about a foot behind the third seed. They take the top three to state

Mount Vernon Senior Cam Maier advanced in the pole vault and the discus during Sectional Thursday. Photo by Garry Beeson at regionals. He can throw better than 143-2 and the way he loves to compete, I believe he will be in the 150’s. In the pole vault, he is one of eight jumpers who cleared 12-0. He will need to get 13-0 to have a chance to advance. He is on a new pole and working hard to make that happen.” Mount Vernon also had two relay teams advance. The 4 x 800m team of Cade Latshaw, Noah Rapp, Micah Keller and Jonathon West ran a personal record and has a good chance at a ribbon at Regionals. The 4 x 400m team of Cade Latshaw, Zack Battieger, Conner Sledd and Jonathon West ran a hard fought race to earn the right to run again this Thursday. Also competing in the IHSAA Track and Field Sectional was the Unified team. They finished first in their competition. The Evansville Central Sectional features 10 teams and feeds into the Bedford North Lawrence on Saturday at 1 p.m. Advancement is done by team. Individuals will not advance. The

State Finals would take place on June 3, in Bloomington. “It’s a great feeling,” said Jackie Maier. “I was certainly very proud of all the athletes. This is the fourth year at Mount Vernon High School for Unified Track and this is our second Sectional Championship. Our first year, we we’re runner’s up.” There were 10 teams out there competing and everyone scores for their team. “We entered two partners and two athletes for each event,” said Maier. “There are only five events, so my kiddos know it is important for them to do their very best to score. But, they also know that is all they need to do, is their very best. That is enough. That is always enough.” Maier had a lot to be proud of on the day. “I was most proud of their collaboration,” said Maier. “I was pleased with how they worked together as a team.” With the end of school and graduation, Maier believes the team will be missing a few pieces. “We

Mount Vernon’s MaKenna Russel lets the discus fly during Sectional Thursday at Central High School. Photo by Garry Beeson will be without a few team members,” said Maier. “We knew that going in and there is nothing that can be done. Family always comes ﬁrst. It is just tough, because it happens at a tough time of the year. We will do our best.” One of the missing members will be senior, Kalab Thompson. He will be at his church-graduation celebration, but Thompson had a great time in the sport this year and learned a lot about himself and his team. His father (Shane) was quite proud of him and notes it was Kalab’s idea to come out for

the team. Shane said Kalab learned these values at church and he took them with him to the sport. “It was so awesome to win Sectional,” said Thompson. He wishes the team the very best at Regional. The varsity boy’s track and ﬁeld team will compete in Evansville on Thursday. Any boys who would advance to state level, would compete in Bloomington on June 2. The Varsity girl’s track and ﬁeld team will compete today in Evansville. Any girls advancing to state, would compete in Bloomington on June 3.

Cats ready to roar at Sectional By Brandon Cole Mount Vernon Softball team topped Reitz, 5-0, to close out the season. The (16-6) Lady Wildcats will begin Sectional play today, against Evansville Bosse, at Boonville High School. “It always feels good to go into the tournament on a winning note,” said head Mount Vernon softball coach, David Bell. “We played six games the last four days of last week. Of our last six games, we won ﬁve-out-of six. We feel pretty good about that.” The (17-7) Panthers are no slouches, either. “We scored ﬁve runs against a really good pitcher there,” said Bell. Haley Goad threw seven shutout innings in the Wildcats win over Reitz. It was just an impressive performance and a solid way for Mount Vernon to have ended the regular season. Megan Ghrist and Jaycie Tucker each had two hits. Gabi Gilpin had a 2 RBI double. Reitz’s Jolly and Garland put in the work on the mound against Mount Vernon. Ghrist, Goad and Gilpin each collected doubles.

“I feel like it’s a tough game against Bosse to start things off,” said Bell. “It’s a game you are suppose to win, but you still have to go on the road and do that. If we don’t beat Bosse, then we don’t have to worry about the other games. It’s nice to go up there and have one game and not have to worry about sitting through a game, waiting to play.” “We’re excited to get up there and work out whatever jitters we might have, out in the first day. We have played this game before. We have been here before. We don’t have any rookies. It will be nice to get up there and get a game under our belts.” Mentally, the Lady Wildcats are prepared for this. “I feel like we have done a nice job of getting our heads screwed on right,” said Bell. “We’re still playing a solid game, we’re just not hitting the ball like we were. But we are playing really solid defense. Pitching has also been doing well, and with those two things, anything can happen.” Bell has some motivational words in mind for his ladies. “We could always go make a little history,” said Bell. “It would be nice. We haven’t won one, but were definitely good enough to win a Sectional.”

Lady Vikings strong on the field Team gears up for Sectionals By Dave Pearce It was an emotional week for North Posey’s 2017 softball team as a large number of seniors played their final regular-season games in a Viking uniform. But perhaps just as stressful was the level of competition the Lady Vikings would see as the 22-2 Boonville Lady Pioneers visited Viking field earlier in the week. Later in the week, the Vikings would face another Big Eight squad donned in black and gold in Washington on the Hatchet senior night. The Lady Vikings showed they can compete with the area’s best as they fell to Boonville 3-1 in a game that was even closer than the score indicated. Hannah Ogg kept the Pioneers in check most of the contest with a good balance of speed, spins and ball movement. But the combination of an error and some aggressive Pioneer baserunning finally gave the Pioneers a 2-0 in the fourth inning. But senior Viking slugger Ally Brandenstein turned on a Boonville Pioneer offering and sent it over the center field fence to account for the only run the Vikings would be able to tally on the night. But the Vikings were clearly in their league as they threatened on multiple occasions but simply could not get a big right at the correct time.

The Pioneers added an insurance run late in the game as the Vikings were able to get runners on the basepads in the final three innings but they were left stranded. With that loss, the Vikings fell to 13-10 overall. The evening marked the final coaching trip of Boonville softball Coaching legend Mike Wilson. Wilson is retiring after this season and the Pioneers have rode the “Wilson’s Last Ride” trade to the hefty record. But at Washington later in the week, the Vikings spoiled Senior Night for the always-tough Hatchets by putting up six runs in the first inning, two more in the third, and two more in the sixth to take the win 10-4. The Vikings finished the regular season with a 14-10 record and drew a first-round bye in the Forest Park Sectional. The Vikings drew the bye in the sectional and will face host Forest Park in the late game on Tuesday night. On opening night, favorite Mater Dei will square off against upstart South Spencer in the opener. The winner of that contest will face the winner of the Tell CityPerry Central game in the first game on Tuesday night. The final will be played on Wednesday evening.

Lady Cats bow out University of Indianapolis lands MV’s Brooke Green of tennis sectional By Brandon Cole Mount Vernon fell to North Posey in Sectional tennis play this week at home, 5-0. Mater Dei defeated Reitz 4-1 to earn the Sectional Championship. Last week, South Spencer won the Heritage Hills Invite on last Saturday, with Mount Vernon placing third. The number two singles, Bryley Harms played two very strong matches. She defeated her opponent from Pike Central 6-1, 6-1 in the ﬁrst round. She lost in two sets against the champion with scores of 6-3, 6-4, but took many games to deuce many times. The number one single player, Emily Duckworth played the eventual champion in the round won, but won her second round match in decisive fashion, 6-2, 6-1. The number two doubles played two strong matches, losing in the ﬁrst round to the eventual champions 6-4, 6-4, but winning the match for 3rd place in a convincing manner, 6-3, 6-0. Three girls made up the number one doubles team so that all could gain some experience. In round 1,

In round 2, Epley teamed with Krieger to win 6-1, 7-5. In round 2 Epley/ Krieger were up 4-2 in the second set, lost three games in a row to go down 4-5,

then won two games in a row winning 8 of 9 points in the ﬁnal two games to post a 7-5 second-set win. Overall, the players played very well and are much improved on the season.

By Brandon Cole Brooke Green, Mount Vernon High School Senior, signed to run Track and Field and Cheer with the University of Indianapolis on Tuesday. “I chose to go to U Indy, because I wanted to pursue a career in physical therapy,” said Green. “I loved the location of the campus. With it being in downtown Indy, I thought there would be countless opportunities. Trying out for the cheer team and receiving a track scholarship was just bonuses.” Green will be cheering at all the football and basketball games as a freshman. “For track, my track times look like I will be running the 100 for sure and possibly the 200.” Green has been a Sectional Champion in the 200 meter race, since her freshman year. This year she placed second at the Big-8 Conference in the 100 meter, 200 meter, and 4x100 meter relay. She had a total of 20 first-place finishes this season. Green was undefeated in all of the regular season conference meets in the 100 and 200. She was a state qualifier in her sophomore

Photo submitted and junior years. “So far I have accomplished a lot, but I hope to accomplish so much more this season,” said Green. There are about 4,000 undergraduates at U Indy. “The campus of U Indy is gorgeous,” said Green. “I love the location, downtown. I like how it’s smaller and I feel like my professors will know me a lot better because of that. I feel like I will get to know a lot more people, as well.” Green thought she would go to a larger school, but really fell in love with U Indy.

Green has a high school GPA of 3.92. She will major in Exercise Science and then apply to the Physical Therapy school. “I hope to work with athletes in the clinical setting,” said Green. She is going to miss her friends at MVHS. “I’ll especially miss my teammates,” said Green. “I have developed a bond with them over the years. I will always remember them.” This talented runner and scholar is the daughter of Debbie and Brian Green of Mount Vernon.

‘Wildcat baseball’ from Page B1 Wednesday,” said head Wildcat baseball coach Paul Quinzer. “I know they didn’t throw their guy at us that they will use this week. Pitchers are a big deal in high school baseball. I’m sure they will throw their best and we will throw our best. We will see what happens.” The Mount Vernon skipper is holding his poker hand close to his vest. Post-season baseball is a chess match. It is cerebral. “I don’t know who I am going to throw at them,” said Quinzer. While Saturday is over, Quinzer did take a few things from the victory. “We started the Saturday ball game out on ﬁre,” said Quinzer. “We scored six runs in the ﬁrst inning, then we kind of relaxed and settled in. The rest of the game, we only scored one. I wasn’t too happy about that. I was hoping to basically get ahead, maybe make it a 10-run game.” At one point, the Wildcats were 5-6, but ended the regular season 15-9. “I felt like we were on a roll,” said Quinzer. “We have been rolling pretty good. In two of those games, I think we could have easily won if we made a couple of plays.” Mount Vernon feels good about going into Sectional. “I think we have a good shot at

winning Sectional,” said Quinzer. “We have to put some games together. We are going to have to play some no-error ball. Our pitchers are going to have to throw strikes. We have been in this situation before.” What has been the diﬀerence to get these boys on the winning track? “I think the boys have been working real hard,” said Quinzer. “As we have gone through the year, we started learning what we can and can’t do. Players are doing what they are capable of, instead of doing things maybe they were not able to do at the beginning of the year. In other words, they are becoming a team.” There will be plenty of competition in the Sectional. The Wildcats will have to take it one game at a time, but Quinzer is aware of the talent in the pool. “I think the best record team is Memorial,” said Quinzer. “They are usually a pretty tough squad. They have the same pitcher that beat us last year. He is back and we’ll probably see him, if we can get by Gibson Southern and that will be a tough challenge.” The ﬁrst round game against Gibson Southern will begin at 5:30 p.m. with Evansville Memorial and Heritage Hills to follow. The championship game is set for Monday at 7 p.m.

‘Viking baseball’ from Page B1 hard to get the field firm enough to walk on for the Saturday game. But when the afternoon rain showers moved through the field could not take anymore. So, the Viking and Marksmen had to cancel their conference game for this year. When the game was can-

celled the Vikings were winning 6-0 behind a strong pitching performance of Wes Voegel. Action this week, the Vikings will be the home team in a sectional semi-ﬁnal round game at South Spencer. The Vikings will play Mater Dei.
