Retrospective ................. A4 Legals ............................. B9 Classifieds .................. B6-8

By Pam Robinson New Harmony Town Council President David Campbell spoke plainly Thursday evening about the delay in receiving pledged funds from the Blaffer Foundation for the building of the new fire and emergency medical services station. The Blaffer Foundation has pledged $25,500 for the project in $8,500 payments spread out over three years.

In expressing his opinion at the end of the town council meeting, Campbell took issue with learning the foundation will withhold funds until a new survey of elevations is conducted to ensure the station won’t flood.

“I feel that their actions by withholding this money and requesting another set of elevations is tantamount to calling all of us that were involved in the deal basically, for lack of another term, a bunch of idiots and we don’t know what we’re doing,” Campbell stated. “Essentially, they are representing that they know more than all the people involved in the project who have been working on this for over a year.”

He continued, “I just think that their organization and their whole methodology is both offensive and overbearing. I’ll say finally I may be a bit paranoid, but it smells a little bit to me. And those are my views on it. They’re just my views; they’re no one else’s views. But I will tell you this project will go on with or without their involvement. We’re committed to this project. Eightyfive hundred dollars is not going to make a difference.”

•Council approved ordinance 2011-7, effective June 1, 2011, that provides a raise for full-time town employees of $650 a year and for part-time town employees of $325.

•Council approved Lupfer Equipment of Cynthiana to dig out the storm water drainage ditch at the site of the proposed new fire and emergency medical services station at a cost of $5,850.

•Council approved ordinance 2011-6, an amendment to the golf cart ordinance, which calls for a $15 fee to be added to permit costs for those late in registering their vehicles.

•Council gave approval for Councilman Joe Straw as zoning administrator to work to resolve issues with the Simmons’ property at 916 Brewery Street.

•Council agreed by consensus to authorize Clerk-Treasurer Karla Atkins to advertise for bids on town waste collection. The current contract is up at year end.

•Council approved two shelter house requests: one for Hoosier Salon’s art camp and one for New Harmony School’s field day.

•Councilwoman Linda Warrum announced that four Golden Raintrees have been planted in McClure Park.

OPINION

Housecleaning skills are not inherited, often not even learned Anyone who walks into my home can vouch for me that when God handed out the cleaning genes, he passed right over me.

My house breeds clutter – a pile of books here, too many FOR THE whatnots there. It all adds RECORD up to discomfort for my guests and my family. My

BY PAM mother Estelle, an immacuROBINSON late housekeeper, would turn over in her grave to think her own daughter is a slob.

By contrast, anyone who walks into the Cloverleaf apartment of my older sister Shirley can vouch for my mother’s raising. Shirley has a place for everything, and everything

is in its place. Her décor is simple and elegant. She attacks clutter much as one would the Antichrist. My mother can rest easy on my sister’s account.

As my readers may imagine, in spite of my slovenly ways, I aspire to be like my big sister. To that end, I recently purchased a spiritual self-help book titled “31 Days to Clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way.” For each of the 31 days, the author provides a Mary assignment that allows one to reflect on the morality of keeping a clean house and, of course, a Martha assignment

that forces the reader to actually keep a clean house. Martha tasks include, for example, cleaning out the kitchen cabinets and washing the windows—first the interior, then the exterior. The author doesn’t claim the Mary Way is merry, for good reason.

Hope springs eternal in my sister Shirley that, given a little behavior modification, I will become a reformed junkaholic. She thrilled to my voice when I told her about my cleaning book. Then, she took charge. (Everyone with older sisters knows they command operations very well. It’s all part of the birth order thing.)

While I’m on vacation this week, Shirley has organized a cleaning schedule that would

rival anything Martha ever did. She figures if the two of us work together at least a half day every day, we can complete the 31-day cleaning cycle in seven days. A 31-day cleaning cycle is written, my sister reasons, as a guide for a woman who works solo after her day job. She insists that two able-bodied women with nothing better to do can accomplish miracles in seven days. After all, God created the universe in six days, and we’re skipping the day of rest. (I’m convinced Shirley is secretly planning to rewrite the good book on cleaning.)

I’ll let you know next week how Shirley and I get along. I hope neither one of us ends up with one foot in a grave near my mother.

Wendy McNamara--Multiple contact points available for those seeking flood assistance A “disaster emergency” was declared in 34 counties in our area by Governor Daniels. This declaration is a step toward requesting and hopefully receiving federal aid.

Many counties, including Posey, have damaged roads, downed power lines and ruined property due to the recent flooding which has pummeled Southwestern Indiana since late April.

Counties with these damages have been included in the declaration, with more counties possibly being added.

It has been a treacherous month with the rain and flooding not letting up causing some of the worst flooding in history. This last month has been trying, but our community has stayed strong and has united to overcome the challenges the recent weather has brought.

One man, who has led the united front and who has worked tirelessly to help flood victims by providing shelter and food is Posey

County Red Cross Disaster Chairman Jerry Kuykendall.

He has virtually not left the Church of Nazarene in Point Township and has made a very bad situation, manageable with his dedication to Posey County residents.

Many residents are finally beginning to move back into their homes, but that process brings on a new set of challenges. How do I know if I can move back into my home? How do I report damage? What are the first steps to cleaning up my home? Is the water safe?

Safety, patience and cooperation are all going to be required as residents continue to dig out from this disaster.

It will at times be difficult, lives have been uprooted, homes and crops ruined.

But with careful steps, we can move past this flooding.

Dealing with this flood in an efficient and effective manner has taken coordination and cooperation from state agencies to volunteers to our Indiana National

Guard.

Our Indiana National Guard has been vital in helping our community prepare and deal with the floods by forming levies to stop the onset of water.

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security played a key role in helping create solutions to get people the resources they have needed to deal with this flood.

The Posey County Emergency Management Team’s involvement, under EMA Director Larry Robb, was essential to helping our community stay informed and knowledgeable about what was happening and whether evacuations were called for.

Collaboration has been a key element in dealing with this disaster. Disasters do not know jurisdictions, boundaries or political affiliation so we must be willing to adapt and have systems in place to foster unity across multiple agencies and government departments.

There are many people

working to alleviate pain caused by this flooding and to provide information.

It will take many months of hard work until life resumes its normal pace and our community is back to its normal operations. We are moving in the right direction and I feel inspired by how our community has come together to help those in need.

I urge you to contact me or the below agencies if you need assistance. I will do my best to help, to put you in contact with the right people and to give you useful correct information.

Tips upon returning to a flooded home (provided by the Ind. Dept. of Homeland Security): · Inspect foundation for cracks or other damage, which could render the building uninhabitable · Where solid shoes – cuts to the feet are the most common injury · Use battery powered lights when inspecting buildings which prevents potential fire hazards · Check for gas leaks and electrical system damage · Watch out for animals

they may have come in during the flooding · Take picture of the damage- inside and outside- for insurance claims · Throw away all food that came into contact with flood waters. (food contaminated by this water can cause severe infections) · Ensure drinking water is pure: to check go to: www. in.gov/dhs/files/water_treatment.pdf · Pump out flooded basements gradually, about 1/3 a day. This avoids structural damage. If all water is removed in short period of time, pressure from water saturated soil on the outside could cause basemen walls to collapse.

Letters to the Editor Opportunities abound for Hedges Central

Gavel Gamut’s “The 106” Indiana has had 106 justices of the Supreme Court. Posey County has provided two of them: Alvin P. Hovey and John W. Spencer. Two of the 106 may not sound sig- GAVEL nificant. However, Indiana GAMUT has 92 counties and Posey County has never had more BY JUDGE than 28,000 residents.

JIM REDWINE Four years ago the current chief justice, Randall Shepard, initiated a project to compile descriptions of all the justices in a book, Justices of the Indiana Supreme Court. He asked me to write the descriptions of Hovey and Spencer.

The current Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, John G. Roberts, Jr., is a native Hoosier. He wrote the Foreword for the book in which he stated: “Within the pages of this book lie the stories of the remarkable individuals who have served on the Indiana Supreme Court from its creation in 1816 until the present.

Each represents a captivating vignette. Collectively, they tell how public-spirited individuals have transformed a frontier court into today’s dynamic and innovative institution.”

I confess, when I was asked to write about the Indiana Supreme Court, my thought was it would involve brief background descriptions (we were restricted to about three pages per justice) of mainly old, mainly male, mainly white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, mainly dead and probably mainly sober judges.

What I discovered in researching Hovey and Spencer and in reading the bios of the other judges was the Indiana Supreme Court has had a plethora of interesting characters.

For example, Indiana’s most famous and longest serving justice (1817 – 1853) Isaac Blackford of southern Indiana, compiled the

first bound reports of the court’s decisions and sold them as a personal business. Today such behavior might get a judge removed. But Blackford became famous due to his little enterprise he ran right out of the court offices.

John T. Mc Kinney (1836 -1847) of Franklin County, as a practicing attorney got into a fist fight with an opposing attorney right in the courtroom. He was fined one dollar after he plead guilty to assault and battery. Such behavior did not interfere with his serving on the Supreme Court.

Apparently service on the Supreme Court was not always considered the highest judicial position. In 1882 James L. Worden while a sitting judge on the Indiana Supreme Court ran for the position of Superior Court Judge in Allen County. When he won, he resigned from the Supreme Court to take the Superior Court job.

Myra C. Selby was the only woman and the first African American to serve on the court.

She was appointed in 1995 and resigned in 1999 even though she was only forty-four years old and, most likely could have stayed on the court another thirty years.

Another judge who left the court early was Paul G. Jasper who resigned due to the animosity among the five justices and the public criticism directed against it. Jasper was from Fort Wayne and served from 1949 – 1953. Before he was elected to the court he had played college basketball at Indiana University on a team that included Branch Mc Cracken.

As you can see, it turned out these folks on the Indiana Supreme Court were just like other folks. It has been fun getting to know them. Perhaps we will visit a few more next week if you have not already read the book.

To The Editor: This evening I had an opportunity to tour Hedges Elementary, as did many others from various groups and organizations.

As you know, Hedges is a centrally located 80,000-square-foot building currently all but vacant in our small town. We all came with dreams and visions for the potential future of this building. I had hoped to have the opportunity to speak, however tonight was not the time for that. I did, however, want to go ahead and share my thoughts with you.

I come this evening to make a first attempt to breathe life into a dream I have long had.

I have often dreamed of a community center for Mount Vernon. There is a need in this community to bring all services under one roof. Whether the services are need, education or community based; they should all be easily accessible to everyone.

Currently to receive what I would call need-based services, most know to go to the Trustee’s office first. However, often the Trustee has to redirect them to another building in another part of town. Many times these individuals have already made a great sacrifice just to get to the Trustee’s office, let alone attempting to find time and transportation to get to another office elsewhere. I could see our Community Center housing the Trustee, as an onsite administrator or facilitator to direct visitors to the room that would best serve their needs.

I would like to see WIC, Big Brothers & Big Sisters all brought in alongside Family Matters already housed here. The American Red Cross would be another great candidate to house in our community center; it would greatly increase their ability to serve.

We would finally have a facility that could be used for disaster relief. There is room enough to set up sleeping arrangements and an ability to feed those in need. I also see a benefit for bringing in the Parks and Recreation Department. With them here we could reduce cost in an already struggling department, but also we could provide more opportunities for income. Leagues could be organized for common sports such as volleyball and basketball, but also for less common sports such as dodge ball or floor hockey. Just to be clear I would not want to see the skating rink go away. I would however, love to see a business mind take hold of it and make it relevant again. This could renew an activity and venue that has since become an afterthought, primarily due to financial restrictions.

In reference to educational services, many low income opportunities could be created or brought in. Tutoring for common subjects such as math, history or English could be done from the library. However I would like

to see less common subjects made available for the kids to explore that financially they would otherwise be excluded from. Subjects such as music and art could be made available on an after school or weekend basis. After-school programs could be made available even seeking out grants to be able to provide meals for kids. Home schooling subjects could also be held here, things such as gym or theater. They would provide the equipment and teachers, we would simply make available the location for them to implement classes they may otherwise have a hard time providing. Counseling and conventional or music therapy could be provided from the community center, again things that are a little more than ordinary.

Lastly, as a community center I envision new community services made available. Activities to bring us back together, to bring our families and our community into one building to share some time as a whole. Events such as talent shows or exhibits could be done, that currently have no home. We could have community dances whether for the youth or adults. I know it sounds cheesy, but imagine an activity that is low cost and family friendly being made available right here instead of miles away.

We could even do family movie nights, sell tickets at a minimum and have popcorn and drinks available. Santa and the Easter Bunny would also have a permanent home.

Money could also be generated by making the gym available for wedding receptions, obviously alcohol-free, if the demand was there. Local youth groups, such as Young Life, could also use the gym or a room for their weekly meetings. A room could also be set aside for various smaller groups or committees to hold meetings as needed. I am sure there are many groups or individuals that would benefit from this that I have not thought of that would come to light along the way.

As I hope you can tell I have a great passion for this opportunity. I would be glad to gather any information required to further present this idea. With all of this said, I know it is a lot, I would just ask that you keep it in mind. Discuss among yourselves and among others and see what response you get for Hedges Central Community Center.

Thank you, Brandyn S. Mohr

Each year as the time comes to sign up the youngsters for summer reading, a case is made for the importance of reading during the summer to sustain reading levels reached during the school year.

Still, in our hyper-busy world, sometimes the most important things we can do for our children are lost in the whirl of activities that surrounds our lives today.

So, let’s review. Why is summer reading important?

Did you know that students can lose up to three months’ worth of reading progress over one summer.

And, did you know that summer reading loss can be defeated through time spent reading with your child, providing a variety of reading material, using various Internet resources,

and encouraging your child to just read for fun and the pleasure of learning. That is why summer reading is important. And the WMI can help.

We have books you can read with your child and books that even beginning readers can read independently. Our books cover a wide variety of topics. We invite you to turn to the Internet and make Bookflix a part of your summer reading.

A list of other websites that encourage young readers can be obtained on our blog at www.workingmensinstitute.org or at library. And finally, we help to make the experience of summer reading fun by providing prizes and fun activities every step of the way. For a complete list of prizes and programs visit our website (Click on

One World, Many Stories) or visit the library.

Sign up for the reading program for kids pre-K through grade six is during the month of May. Please sign up your young readers by visiting our website (just click on Ask the Librarian and give us your children’s names and ages) or, call or stop by the library.

The Library Lil Club will not meet on May 26 so families can attend New Harmony graduation exercises. Summer readers, be sure to join us on June 2nd as the Library Lil Club celebrates stories from China.

The Friends of the WMI are sponsoring a tasting party of Chinese cuisine for summer readers. There will be stories and prizes. The fun begins at 6:30 on June 2. See you there.

Annual Children’s Doll Tea Party slated for June 4 The Children’s Doll Tea Party is being hosted by The Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery on Saturday, June 4 beginning at 2 p.m.

The 5th annual tea party will be a special celebration to include a reading by children’s author, Denise Rapp, of her recently published children’s book, The Pig and the Poodle in “Charlotte’s Brilliant Idea.” The book is about Charlotte, a pig of robust energy, who realizes life would be even better if she could share her

experiences with a companion.

To fulfill this wish, Charlotte finds a special friend in a poodle named Poofie and they embark on many fun filled days, including a tea party and a trip to the ice cream parlor.

The gallery director, Maggie Rapp, will briefly discuss her new doll painting and how dolls are a special feature in some famous works of art. Then the children will sit down to a picnic to include poodle and

pig shaped cookies and ice cream just like Charlotte and Poofie.

The party is free to any girl or boy age 4 and older.

Children should bring their favorite doll or stuffed animal and their mother or grandmother. The Hoosier Salon is located at 507 Church Street. To make reservations, contact Maggie Rapp at hoosiersalon@ sbcglobal.net or (812) 4599851.

Local “out and About’ follower sure Jesse is still ‘Out and About’ On Tuesday evening I heard that Jesse Butler had passed away earlier in the day. For just a brief moment a sadness came over me and I said out loud to myself, “Awww – poor Jesse.” Then I stopped and thought for a second. Who am I kidding? He is having a time right now. He is in all his glory doing what he does best. He is visiting. I began to actually try to think of all of the people that he is patting on the back, hugging, and saying, “Say – it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.” I began to think about all of the people he is reminiscing and telling stories with. Jesse has lived a long life and has known a lot of people. I have no doubt that he is going to make it a point to catch up with every one of them.

I am sure first to greet him was Julia. That is just a given.

I can’t imagine how happy they were to see each other. They are probably just like young teenagers again – holding hands – walking together – no worries about ever being separated again.

I have wondered if there are restaurants in heaven. I know that Jesse liked to go out to eat and I just figure that if heaven is perfect – then surely there must be some good restaurant choices for him.

I do think that if Jesse could – he would be thinking about writing the ultimate column right now. Just imagine who all he could say that he had visited with. It would be a great read!

So Jesse – when you see my brother and my grandpa – give them a hug from all of us down here. Give our little dog a pat on the head. If there’s anyone that I truly believe would deliver messages to heaven from Poseyville - I do believe it would be you.

Failure of Postal food drive causes pantry panic On a typical year, the food pantry comes into summertime well stocked, ready to serve the people of our community without much concern about the future months. This is not one of those typical years. The Mount Vernon Food Pantry relies heavily on the usual success of the United State Postal Service food drive in May to fill its shelves and prepare it for the busiest time of the year, summer. Summer itypically has heavy traffic, mainly due to school being out. During the school year, many kids in the area receive reduced or free breakfast/lunch at the school. When school lets out, this benefit goes away and many families face a reality that they may not be able to provide adequate supplies of food. The USPS drive typically takes sparse shelves, and fills them at least through May, June and part of July. The Food Pantry usually

has to start purchasing large amounts of food mid-July up through November to keep up.

The situation has changed in an alarming way. Due to a glitch in the USPS system, the reminder postcards usually sent out the week of the drive were not sent. This seemingly minor detail resulted in the food pantry collecting less than a quarter of its usual drive donations. This is a devastating blow to a small pantry. A larger pantry might not rely as much on this type of drive, but our pantry does. We rely on the school district drive in December and the USPS drive in May. When one fails, we face a sobering fact. A large order had to be placed just three days after the drive, which leaves great concern.

The Food Pantry is sending out word of this situation and asking for help.

There are many ways to help, and we

are open to any ideas. We are asking a lot, as we know there is a dire and devastating situation going on with recent flooding. We hope many of you will ask employers about having food drives. We hope you might consider donating food or money on your own. Perhaps your local club or other organization might collect food. We are confident such a giving community can come together and fill in the gaps.

If you are interested, please email mvfoodpantry@yahoo.com or call 838-3841. You can visit www.mvfoodpantry.org and see what our needs are, donate online or find out what items we normally hand out. You can also find information on the website about how to receive food if you are in need. We have drop off locations at several places in town, including First Bank and Posey County Co-Op business office.

A new exhibit opens Friday, May 27, at the Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery, 507 Church Street. A reception will be held from 5 - 7 p.m. Featured this month are Indiana award-winning artists Hal Davis, Wyatt LeGrand, and Mark vander Vinne. In addition, Denise Rapp of New Harmony, the author and illustrator of the newly published children’s book, “The Pig and the Poodle in Charlotte’s Brilliant Idea,” will be on hand for a book signing.

New Harmony residents, Ray and Barb McConnell, are the reception’s sponsors and are inviting the public to attend, meet the artists, and enjoy the refreshments.

A native of Paducah, Kentucky, Hal Davis graduated in 1967 with a BA degree in art from Emporia State University and completed a MS in education at Indiana Uni-

versity in 1971. He taught in the public school system (Madison and Indianapolis) for 27 years. In the 1970s, Davis worked with community members in the founding years of Madison’s art festival. He served as the president of the Art Education Association of Indiana in 1976.

Davis enjoys working in oils and was commissioned to paint the Madison Chautauqua Festival Art Poster in 1995, 1996 and 2000. He has exhibited at the Madison Art Club Annual Show, where he won the Best Still Life in Oils award in 2007.

Wyatt LeGrand is an award winning oil painter from Bloomfield, Indiana. Since graduating from Indiana University with a degree in visual arts education in May 2009, Wyatt has been focusing on his painting full-time.

A follower of the plein air tra-

dition, Wyatt works primarily from observation to create vibrant interpretations of the world around him. LeGrand’s paintings can be found in several Indiana galleries, including his own gallery and studio space in Bloomfield, Indiana, open by appointment. Please visit his website to see a current gallery listing and all upcoming exhibitions at www. legrandartstudio.com.

Mark vander Vinne paints both en plein air and in his studio and works almost exclusively in oils. He attended the American Academy of Art, in Chicago, Illinois, where he learned and practiced daily the fundamentals of art and visual communication, taking classes in many different media as well as in illustration and advertising. After art school, vander Vinne worked as a freelance illustrator and graphic de-

signer, before ending up in the advertising industry as an art director/designer. He is a member of the Indiana Plein Air Painters, the Hoosier Salon and the Oil Painters of America. He has exhibited in many solo and group shows and has won several awards including the David and Cynthia Marks Purchase Award at the Midwest Museum of American Art 2010 Annual Juried Regional show, a Merit Award at the Hoosier Salon Members Exhibit in 2009 and was a finalist in the 2006 Artist’s Magazine National Juried Competition.

Open Wednesday through Sunday from 1 - 5 p.m., the Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery only displays the works of Indiana artists.

PC Pound Puppies needs your vote to win vehicle from Toyota Mount Vernon-based organization, PC Pound Puppies is one of 500 finalists in Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program, which will award vehicles to 100 nonprofit organizations based on votes from the public beginning May 9, 2011.

Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program will showcase five non-profit organizations each day for 100 days on Toyota’s Facebook page, facebook.com/toyota.

Visitors to the page can vote once a day for the organization that they feel is most deserving of a new Toyota vehicle. PC Pound Puppies will be one of the five organizations highlighted for voting on Thursday, June 23, 2011.

Local residents are encouraged to support PC Pound Puppies and their quest for a new Toyota Sienna Van. If PC Pound Puppies receives the most votes and is awarded the vehicle, it will be used to transport dogs from the Posey County Animal Shelter to adoption events, vet appointments,

etc.

About PC Pound Puppies In late 2004, our two founding members began volunteering with the Posey County/Mount Vernon Animal Control Shelter in an effort to give dogs that come into the shelter a new home and a second chance at life. all stray dogs picked up in Posey County by our two animal control officers are brought to this shelter. Over time, other volunteers joined the group, and this non-profit organization became PC Pound Puppies*. Every dog that comes into the shelter is immediately given a 7-way shot, kennel cough vaccine, and is wormed. The owner has 10 days to claim them, and as soon as that time is up, we begin the adoption process. Before adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, brought up to date on shots, heartworm tested, and treated for heartworms if necessary. In mid-2008, we also started microchipping. We work with multiple breed-specific rescues to get the types of dogs that

fit their criteria out of the shelter quickly. In the past seven years, we have taken our shelter from high kill to no-kill. The most widely accepted definition of a nokill shelter is a place where only dangerously aggressive or fatally ill animals are euthanized. We have taken in over 1000 dogs in the last 5 years and have had to euthanize less than 20 of those for severe aggression or fatal illness, and then only after extensive testing and giving the dog every chance we could. The rest have been adopted (after first being spayed/neutered and brought up to date on all vetting), sent to rescues, or claimed.

If they are sick or hurt when they come in, they are immediately treated. We have NEVER euthanized a dog for a treatable condition. A small number have died of natural causes while in our care, and we have mourned every one. Dogs that have behavior issues are sent to work with certified dog behavior experts, who also volunteer their services.

Virtually every weekend finds some of our members at an adoption event, hoping to find homes for our dogs.

PC Pound Puppies spent $13,000 on vet expenses for Posey County dogs in 2007; vet expenses for 2008 were $23,000; 2009 - $25,000; and 2010 - $37,000. This does not include the purchase of routine medications given at the shelter, cages/ crates, microchips, collars, leashes, toys, treats, supplies in general, and countless other necessary items.

Donations and fundraisers make all the difference.

If you are interested in giving a dog a new chance at life with your family, please contact us at pc_poundpuppies@yahoo.com.

See our available pets at www. pcpoundpuppies.petfinder. com. *In March, 2010, we became a 501(c)3 non-profit charity, meaning all donations are now tax deductible. We remain dedicated to improving the lives of stray and homeless dogs in Posey County.

Out n’ About

By Roger Butler

(In tribute to the author of this column, Jesse Butler) Let me start by saying that this column will not be about what happened last week or last month, as in the past. I want to use the column today to tell you about my plans for the future. But first, let me say a few things to all my readers.

I am very grateful to the newspaper for allowing me to share my love for family, community, and friends with the readers. It was a lot to keep up with and report on but it was also a labor of love. I hope my family understands that keeping them and the events of their lives in the “news” was done with love and pride. I also enjoyed sharing some history of Poseyville and Posey County with you and learned a few things along the way. It was a wonderful experience for me and I hope that it provided enjoyable reading for you.

I had made these plans some time ago and the time has come. Today, May 17, 2011 was the happiest and most anticipated day of my whole life. Today I was able to join Julia, my loving wife, who has been gone since April 3, 2007. I have missed her deeply and looked forward to the day we Saint Wendel First Communion.

Sermon of the Week: Celebrate the ‘holy’days every day By: The Rev. Allen Rutherford, St. John’s Episcopal Church When my two children were little, they had a children’s book of Christmas stories for each day of December leading up to Christmas Day. I remember one particular story from that book. One Christmas Day, a brother and sister made a wish that “each day could be a Christmas Day, just like today”. The two children were granted their wish. Just like in the movie, Groundhog Day, when they woke up after their wish, they discovered that it was Christmas Day….again. Only it wasn’t a different Christmas Day, it was the same Christmas Day. The same tree, the same decorations, the same presents, the same Christmas food, the same, the same, the same. Everything was exactly as it has been on the day they had made their wish. Each day, day-afterday, was the exact same Christmas Day. They finally grew tired of Christmas, even to the point of being utterly disgusted with Christmas. They tried to undo the wish, but nothing they did would undo the spell.

Eventually, when they had truly reached the breaking point, the wish was broken.

They learned to appreciate Christmas for all the right reasons and its true meanings, and not just for the presents and commer-

Seeds of the Sower

cialization.

On Sunday, April 24th, 2011 Christians and Non-Christian’s alike celebrated Easter Day. For Non-Christians Easter Day is a secular holiday with little or no religious meaning. For Christians, Easter Day is the most sacred day of the year, marking the resurrection from the dead of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His death signifies the ultimate defeat of death, and it provides the promise of eternal life to all who put their faith and trust in him. Christians are urged to live each and every day as if it is an Easter Day, filled with new possibilities for life lived with Christ within us. We are given the gift of the Holy Spirit to be our Advocate and Guide in order to follow daily our Living God. We also are commanded to come together each and every Sunday until Christ’s coming again, to mark this day of the week as our Sabbath Day. Each Sunday is considered a “little Easter”. Easter is also a season of the Church year, celebrated between Easter Day and the Day of Pentecost, fifty days after Easter Day. Today, May 24th, we are a little over the halfway point in the Easter season, the Scripture readings for this time of year come heavily from the Book of Acts, in which we hear in detail how the Church was spread through-

By Michael Guido

Three-year-old Carla was helping her mother deliver newspapers.

“Let me do one,” she begged.

So the mother drove her pickup to a box on Carla’s side, and Carla leaned out of the window. But she leaned too far, and fell to the ground.

Terrified, the mother jumped out of the cab and picked her up. And she cried, “Mom,

out the then known world after that first Easter Day. It illustrates to us the power of the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.

While we are urged to live each and every day of our life like it was an Easter Day, we can only keep up the fever pitch of Easter Day for so long until we start to have the same attitude as the two children in the Christmas Story. The children eventually had to learn that Christmas holds deeper meanings for life, beyond the “holiday fervor”. The disciples of Jesus Christ had to learn the same thing about the resurrection. They had to eventually channel that Holy Day fervor and put Jesus teachings into practice. What Easter Day gave the disciples was courage and hope to go forth and continue the ministry begun by Christ; to live the abundant life proclaimed and taught by Jesus. What does it mean to live an abundant life, an eternal life? While the disciples, turned Apostles, did not wear WWJD wristbands, they too had to wake up each morning as if it was a new day, an Easter Day, and ask themselves, “what would Jesus do?” How did Jesus talk-thetalk and walk-the-walk of God while he dwelt among us before his death, resurrection, and ascension? What example did

Jesus set for illustrating to us what God expects of us during our time on this present earth?

The day to day grind of life with all its challenges did not change after the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Day. We are stuck in the already and the not yet. Christ already came to this earth once and took on human form and dwell among us and still lives, but our resurrection promised to occur when Jesus comes a second time has not yet happened. We no longer fear bodily death, but we still suffer the aches and pains of life. In his letter to the Church in Rome, the Apostle Paul stated, “I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us (Romans 8:18).” Living as if each day was Easter Day, means dealing with the sufferings of this life, with Hope and Faith, and Gladness, and all the other fruits of the Holy Spirit. Living every day, as if it was that first Easter Day, is only possible if we are obedient to follow in the footsteps of Christ and are obedient to his teachings about how to live. And, if we give our life to the service of teaching others how to live and eternal life. Alleluia!

Christ is risen!” Now, go out and follow the risen Christ, each and every day.

St. John’s announces time change

Beginning on Sunday, May 29, 2011, St. John’s you diden’t get close enough!”

Episcopal Church in You and I live in two worlds. We get so Mount Vernon will change busy making a living that we don’t make any overtures to the Lord. And we fall. Why? Like the girl said, “you didn’t get close enough.”

BU IN BUSINESS/AG INE G

Baker tells of ambulance scenario

Marrs Elementary Fourth-Graders Tour State Capitol: More than 50 fourth-graders from Marrs Elementary School of Mount Vernon visit the Indiana Statehouse on Friday, May 6. Classes taught by Terri Branson (front, far left) and Vicki Moran (front, far right) toured the historic Capitol building, where they learned how a bill becomes a law and the importance of state government. To schedule a visit and tour, contact State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) by calling 1-800-382-9467.

By Valerie Werkmeister Poseyville Town Council members kept their discussions to the business at hand during their regular meeting last week. One would never have guessed the town was reeling from the news that a state audit and investigation by Indiana State Police produced information that former clerk-treasurer, Chris Lupfer, has been accused of stealing $53,000 in town funds. Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers issued charges for Lupfer on Tuesday.

Routine matters before the council included a presentation by Troop 390 Boy Scout Jonanthan Cook on his Eagle Scout project, reports from the utility office and information about golf cart registration.

Cook plans to do a landscaping beautification project around the Poseyville Community Center. He outlined his plans for council members and gained insight on technical aspects of his project.

Julie Mayo, utility office manager, reported the annual water quality report will be sent out to all Poseyville water customers before June 1.

Poseyville Town Marshal Doug Saltzman reminded citizens that golf cart registrations are due. Those who wish to operate a golf cart within the town limits must register their golf cart by calling Saltzman to schedule an appointment. He can be reached by

calling 874-3436.

Council members were also informed that Engine 3 has a pump leaking. The truck will be taken for repairs. Fire department members are planning to hold an open-house in the upcoming months for a fundraiser.

They asked for approval to repair a few broken lights and cleaning of the block walls in preparation for that event. Town council president Bruce Baker instructed them to obtain three quotes to present to the council for review.

Council members also approved ordinance 2011-05-11-01 that amended a previous ordinance which changed the town’s Gas and Water Operator’s Salary from hourly to salary with a yearly minimum wage of $23,000 to a yearly maximum wage of $60,000.

Baker eagerly announced the town’s support for the county’s possible plan to add a fourth ambulance to its fleet. In doing so, Baker stated the town would waive the rental fee the town charges the county to house an ambulance in Poseyville. Baker stated the $2,400 fee is a small gesture towards helping the county pay for the fourth ambulance.

The next regular Poseyville Town Council meeting will be held Wednesday, June 8, at 4:30 p.m. in the Poseyville Community Center. The meeting is open to the public.

Residents of Posey County are reminded that with the recent disaster, many structures in the community may have experienced structural damage.

Repairs and/or reconstruction activities to structures damaged due to the disaster that are located in the floodplane will require a local improvement location permit from the Posey County Area Plan Commission as required by Posey County’s local floodplain

ordinance. Failure to obtain this information can result in a fine. In addition, depending on the property’s location, a permit may be required from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources prior to the start of any reconstruction activity.

For more information on the permitting process, contact Posey County Area Plan Commission at 126 E. Third St., Rm 223, Mount Vernon, Ind. 47620 812-838-1323.

SABIC announces polycarbonate capacity expansions to support growth trajectory The Innovative Plastics strategic business unit of SABIC announced here at Chinaplas 2011, booth 10.2E21, that it is adding new production lines of the company’s world-renowned Lexan* polycarbonate (PC) resins and films in Shanghai and Nansha, China.

These additions are part of the company’s strategy to support the dynamic growth of key plastics sectors in this region, particularly the consumer electronics, electrical, solar, security and automotive industries. Building on over 80 years of advanced technology breakthroughs, Innovative Plastics continues to be a leader in the plastics industry with its flagship PC material.

It is continually developing distinctive new Lexan material solutions to meet evolving technological, environmental, performance and regulatory challenges.

“Our nearly 60-year-old commitment to polycarbonate remains unmatched – from a relentless focus on innovation, to continued investments in global capacity, to a team of polycarbonate experts including a highly trained sales force, application development specialists, and process development engineers around the globe,” said William Russell, polycarbonate business leader, Innovative Plastics. “The size and diversity of our performance-rich Lexan polycarbonate material portfolio is an excellent case in point, illustrating how we deliver tailored materials solutions to meet our customers’ specific needs. These expansions will enable Innovative Plastics to provide a stronger, localized supply of Lexan resin and film to meet Asia’s accelerating demand of these tough, high-performance and versatile material technologies.”

Reliable Supplies of Lexan Resin Help Drive Asian Customer Growth Innovative Plastics is adding dedicated compounding production lines of its iconic Lexan PC resin at its Shanghai facility in early 2012. This capacity increase will ensure ample, reliable supplies of

Lexan resins and Lexan specialty copolymers to help drive Asian customer growth.

This addition comes on the heels of a similar Lexan compounding expansion in Nansha in late 2010.

The company’s Lexan resin is known for its broad, global portfolio and is produced to meet increasing capacity demand for key industries including consumer electronics, electrical, solar and automotive. Lexan specialty copolymers provide extreme high heat resistance; excellent flow/ductility; virtually unbreakable impact strength; scratch protection; flamesmoke-toxicity performance; and ultra violet (UV) protection to higher levels. These high performance properties give customers exceptional design freedom to meet increasing consumer demand for top-performing products with eye-catching aesthetics.

Increased Production of High-Demand Specialty Films Innovative Plastics is also adding a new, state-of-theart extrusion line of Lexan PC optical quality (OQ) and textured film products to its Nansha facility, with subsequent capacity additions in Asia planned for 2012-2014.

This new specialty film line, which opened in the first quarter of 2011, uses class 1,000 clean room technology to produce Lexan OQ optical performance film. The new production line makes custom textured materials and surface polished Lexan OQ films that can be embossed or selectively textured by screen printing for aesthetic purposes and a mar-resistant finish.

This expansion addresses accelerating market demand for specialty film materials for high-end film applications in consumer electronics, automotive and security segments where these materials are widely used in applications such as automotive navigational display units; notebook PCs; monitors; and liquid crystal display/light emitting diode (LCD/LED) TVs. This Innovative Plastics investment of specialty film

lines in Asia underscores the company’s commitment to the consumer electronics OEMs and converters by providing high-functional film products that can significantly reduce total system costs.

Since its invention in 1953

by Dr. Daniel Fox, Lexan PC resins have made history in diverse industries. The versatility, clarity and high performance of this unique material have led to thousands of applications for work and play.

Today, the Lexan portfolio encompasses a tremendous range of resins, compounds, sheet products and films, many with specialized attributes such as non-halogenated flame retardance, lowtemperature ductility, optical properties and special colors and effects.

Aimee Bolye collects books for Juan Diego Latino Center The Juan Diego Latino Center was presented with gently used children’s books

by Evansville Day School sophomore, Aimee Boyle.

Aimee’s mother, Lorenna, is a native of Mexico City and teaches Spanish at Day School.

Through Lorenna’s involvement with the local Latino community, Aimee became aware of the needs at the center, particularly of children who are in English as a Second Language classes, and she wanted to help.

Children’s books are an efficient and engaging way for foreign children to learn the English language, so she notified Day School parents prior to the school’s annual Book Fair, encouraging them to “Buy a Book, Donate a Book”. (Buy a book from the Book Fair, then donate a book from home

to make room for the new one.)

Parents responded in an amazing way, and Aimee collected 847 books. She presented the books to Abraham Brown, director of the Juan Diego Latino Center, at Day School on Friday, May 20 . Brown was serenaded in Spanish

by Primary School students, led by elementary Spanish teacher, Pilar Lopez.

Aimee plans to hold another book drive next spring, and perhaps collaborate with other schools to provide books for the Latino outreach center here as well as those in Jasper and Ferdinand.

Plans announced for North Posey kindergarten

By Valerie Werkmeister On the heels of the announcement that North Posey will offer all-day kindergarten this fall, comes the news that they will also offer a pre-school program at both elementary schools. Registration began yesterday, (Monday, May 23) and will continue through June 3, at both North Elementary and South Terrace from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Children who are three and four will attend class twice a week, either on Tuesdays and Thursdays or Mondays and Wednesdays.

Those that are turning five and miss the cut off to attend kindergarten will attend three days a week, most likely on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Class times will be held from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

A $120 deposit is required to enroll for the three- and four-year-old class, while a $180 deposit is required for the five-year-old class.

A payment will not be required in August.

Normal monthly fees will be $80 per month for the younger class and $120 a month for the older age. Those who qualify for free or reduced lunches will pay just half the tuition.

North Posey School Supt. Dr. Todd Camp said they hope to keep the maximum amount of students to 15 in the three and four-yearold class. The maximum is 20 in the fiveyear-old class.

Adding the pre-school creates new jobs for North Posey and they are currently reviewing applications to hire a new kindergarten teacher and two pre-school teachers, Camp said.

“The principals are reviewing the applications now and we hope to make a decision by the June 13, board meeting,” he said.

The biggest benefit to parents who need all-day care is that North Posey has teamed up with the YMCA for their Y-Care program.

It will be available to all students from preschool through sixth grade. Parents will be able to drop students off beginning at 6:30 a.m. and can pick them up at 6 p.m. This means pre-school students who finish at 11 a.m. will be able to stay at the school.

Y-Care will be administered solely by the YMCA staff. They are trained to work with children, handle emergencies and identify signs of abuse and neglect. They take children’s safety seriously and screen all potential staff members’ past criminal history.

They will also be CPR certified. Child care will be provided only on the days school is in session. Additional fees will apply for participation in this program. Rates have not yet been determined for North Posey.

For additional information, contact each school at: North Elementary - 874-2710 and South Terrace - 985-3180.

Vikings thump Martinsville, Loogootee; head into tourney

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Vikings set as one of their goals to be playing the best baseball they can play heading into the post-season. Over the past 10 days, they have proven to any doubters that they are.

In the past week alone, the Vikings have built on a stretch of wins that have included this week’s wins over Washington, Loogootee, and a pair of wins over Class 4A Martinsville and the coach who helped build the Viking program, Mike Swartzentruber.

But along the way, the Vikings stopped in Loogootee long enough to hand the Lions a 13-7 loss with Colton Martin starting on the mound.

“Colton threw a pretty decent ballgame,” Reid said of the sophomore right-hander.

“He struggled a little in the first and then got out of that and threw well up into the sixth inning. He waled the first two in the sixth and I brought in Shane Neumann and he threw the ball pretty well but Loogootee swung the bats pretty well. They had nine hits in the game and several extra-base hits in the game and they just wouldn’t go away.”

Reid said his team had several opportunities throughout the middle of the contest to put the game away but was unable to come

away with the timely hit.

“We left with 10 or 11 men on base and we had some baserunning mistakes that hurt us,” Reid said. “And when we made mistakes, they are a pretty gritty ball club and they just kept chipping away. Even going into the seventh, it was 13-4 and they picked up three in the bottom of the seventh to make it 13-7.”

But you might say the Vikings went on a “Bender” on Friday night…Jourdan, that is. He supplied enough offense to help his team. Besides the grand slam, he also had a two-run homer earlier in the game and was 4-for-5 with two doubles.

After hopping on the bus and grabbing some McDonalds meals the Vikings were off to their next stop in Martinsville, where they would face their former coach, now coaching the Atresians in Class 4A. “We got in a little after 11 and had a team meeting and got everyone to bed,” Reid said.

“It’s tough to wake up in the morning and play two quality baseball games so I have to give our kids a lot of credit.”

Reid said his team got some help from a couple of Martinsville miscues in the early innings but his team’s execution of “small

Posey County schools send several to track regional meet

By Steve Joos Two runners, a jumper, a thrower and, well, both a runner and a jumper.

Those are the athletes who are going to represent Posey County in this week’s Evansville Regional boys’ track meet.

Five athletes from Mount Vernon and North Posey advanced out of Thursday’s Sectional meet at Central Stadium, including one (the Wildcats’ Will Terbeck) who made it in two different events, one of which surprised his coach.

Overall, Mount Vernon came in fifth with

51 points, while North Posey tied Boonville for tenth with 17.

Terbeck had the biggest night, qualifying for the Regional with a fourth-place finish in the 200-meter dash and a surprising secondplace finish in the long jump.

“We had a good night tonight,” Mount Vernon coach Steve Brenton said. “We got four kids out, we got Teddy O’Connell out in the discus, even though he threw about 10 feet less than he was seeded. He was disappointed, he thought he should have gotten second, which is where he was seeded, but he got fourth and he gets to move on another week.”

In addition to O’Connell, Dylan Reubenacker was third in the high jump, Ken Renshaw joined Motz in the 1,600-meters and then there was that Terbeck kid.

“You can’t say enough about Will,” Brenton said. “He got fourth in the 200, which was about where we thought he was set, but he got second in the long jump and that was unexpected. He had a jump of 20-feet, 10inches and came close to winning the thing.

Dylan Reubenacker had a third in the high jump and Ken Renshaw was fourth in the mile.”

The 1,600 was Renshaw’s goal all season and he was able to have a good race in that event, Brenton explained.

The Cats had a bit of a letdown after an emotional Big Eight Conference meet, and that may have resulted in some lower times and distances.

Brenton thought that his team did well considering the level of competition the Cats were up against.

The four Cats will be joined by a lone Viking in their return trip to Central Stadium this well, as Motz finished second in the 1,600-meters and advanced.

“We got a real good performance out of Hunter in the mile,” Vikings’ coach Kevin Gengelbach said. “He was really wanting to get out in that and that’s how he did. He ran a good race and got out.”

Like Renshaw, Motz ran a more relaxed

race in the 3,200, but still did well despite not qualifying.

The team had some personal bests in various events, such as Austin Little in the shot put and 1,600- and the 3,200-meter relay teams, but the only other major finish was

by Butch Dessauer in the 300-hurdles.

“This was really good competition,” Gengelbach said. “We have some speed in the (Pocket Athletic Conference), but not as much as they have in the city. This was a good learning experience for us and five us something to work on and hopefully come back next year.”

Castle dominated the team standings, scoring 145 points to win the Sectional, while Harrison finished second with 100 and one-half points.

North was third with 92, while Memorial was a somewhat distant fourth with 51 and Central (41 and one-half) was just slightly behind the Wildcats in sixth place.

Mater Dei (38 and one-half), Reitz (34 and one-half) and Bosse (32) each came in ahead of North Posey and Boonville, while Signature rounded out the field with five tallies.

Evansville Sectional boys’ track meet: 3,200-relay: 5) Mount Vernon (Ryan Dick, Collin Knight, D.A. Wilson, Jon Hoehn) 9:02.80, 7) North Posey (Mitchell Heldt, Jonah Quirk, A.J.

Rappite baseball sweeps Shoals, takes winning record into tourney

By Steve Joos The New Harmony baseball team won’t have to worry about finishing above .500 this year, Not after sweeping a doubleheader from the visiting Shoals Jug Rox Saturday.

The Rappites banged out 11 hits and took advantage of four Shoals errors enroute to a 10-1 victory in the opener and then plated eight runs in the third inning while routing the Jug Rox in the nightcap 13-2.

The second game only went five innings due to a mutual agreement between the two teams.

“The kids had a chance to come out and win these

two games and go into the Sectional with a winning record,” coach Jim Little said. “And it’s always good to take winning record into the Sectional because no matter what you do, you’ll only have one loss.”

And when one is talking abut a small school which plays a number of much larger schools, it’s always a plus to have a winning season.

The Rappites hit the ball well in both games, coming back to sweep a twinbill against a school which had beaten New Harmony decidedly during the boys’ basketball season.

gall, Kyle Whitmore and Levi Hoehn forced Little to use Andrew McDaniel on the mound more than he would have liked to.

The senior went the distance and fanned 17 in the opener and then mopped up for Whitmore in the nightcap.

McDaniel helped his own cause in the first game with three hits. Clint Matthews also collected three blows, while Blayne Worman and Zach Sollman each had two blows, Steagall added one.

New Harmony gradually nibbled away at the Jug Rox, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first and fourth innings, then slating

things away with a four-run sixth.

In the second game, the Rappites scored all of their runs in the second and third innings.

Shoals jumped out to a 1-0 when the Rappites answered with a five-run second.

A one-out double by Sollman started the uprising. He went to third on a bad pickoff throw, Jordan Kennedy walked and Levi Hoehn put the Rappites in front with a double.

Kris Scarfia singled in Hoehn, Worman walked and Elliott Lange brought Scarfia home with a single.

and a bunt single by Hoehn were among the highlights at New Harmony tacked on another eight rallies in the bottom of the third inning. Eight straight Rappites reached base as New Harmony stretched the lead to 13-1.

Scarafia had three hits in the game, while McDaniel and Hoehn each added two. Worman, Matthews, Dan Tron, Kennedy and Zach Sollman each had hits, while Whitmore, McDaniel, Hoehn and Scarafia each drove in a pair of runs.

The Rappites not only take a 7-4 record into the postseason, but they are on

They lost to Wood Memorial 7-1 earlier in the season, but Little expects to have his team rested and recovered from injuries by then.

“Wood Memorial and Tecumseh are always tough around Sectional time,” the coach said. “However, we are hitting ball well right now and Sir Andrew (McDaniel) has been dominant on the mound. I am excited to see what we can do.”

ball� could have led to the errors. “We put the ball in play with some bunts and different things and again, K.D. threw a very quality baseball game,� Reid said. “Coach Swartzentruber was very complimentary of both our pitchers that day.�

Reid said that Patton struggled a little in the early part of the game, feeling that he really wasn’t hitting the spots he wanted to hit.

But Reid told him that this is a time when you learn a lot about yourself and you have to grind it out. “He did that and got stronger as the game went on and we won the first game 6-2,�

Reid said. “They threw a decent pitcher and we had a little trouble with him because we struck out 12 times and that’s way too many.

But we put the ball in play enough to keep the pressure on them and they were a little weak and I think their coach would agree with that.

With our speed, we stole a few bases and we got enough hits at crucial times to get the win.�

In the second contest, Nick Scheller pitched a strong game and Reid was impressed to see some members of his team who had not gotten a lot of at-bats during the course of the season. “You wouldn’t know it because they got in there and swung the bats and really, we were better offensively in game two than in game one but I think their pitching had a little to do with that,� Reid said. “We kept pressure on them almost every inning and before you knew it, it was 13-2 and the game was over.�

Reid said that despite Martinsville’s Class 4A status, they are struggling with inexperience this year and he believes the Vikings were the better team with more talent and more hard-nosed and probably more baseball savvy.

Winners of their past six games heading into Monday’s battle at 7 p.m. at Wood Memorial, the Vikings have shown marked improvement in all aspects of the game and have shown they are able to grind it out

with some of the area’s best when necessary. Pitching depth has improved and Coach Scott Reid himself was pleasantly surprised to see the latest team batting average climb into the .330s.

The week began with a one-sided 11-1 victory over Washington that saw K.D. Patton pitch a complete game against the Hatchets, giving up one run on two hits and three errors.

Against the Hatchets, the Vikings got out of the gate fast, scoring three each in the first and second innings. The Vikings tacked on two more in the fourth and closed it out with three in the bottom of the sixth after the Hatchets had scored one in the top of the sixth.

Brandon Spahn delivered a “message� blow in the first inning with a two-run shot and the Hatchets were on their heels the remainder of the game. “K.D. threw well and we had enough offense to make it a little bit of a shorter game,�

Reid said.

On Tuesday, the Vikings came back and brought the bats again in a game that Reid described as “not a pretty game� but the Vikings were able to prevail 8-2. “You have to give Shane Hopf and Eric Wargel credit,� Reid said. “They threw really well. Shane got the win. It wasn’t a particularly well-played game. We didn’t have a lot of energy and we didn’t play real well but it way May 17 and it felt like March 17. So I can understand that there were not a lot of people excited about playing a baseball game like that in May. Each team scored a run in the first inning and the score remained tied until the Vikings tacked on six in the top of the fourth. They added one in the sixth before the Braves got one in the bottom of the seventh inning. Wargel came in for the save in the fifth inning. “It was a big win for Shane Hopf and you have to commend Eric for coming in and throwing strikes,� Reid said.

Efforts exceptional for Posey County track teams in sectional

By Steve Joos Whatever else can be said for the Posey County girls’ track teams, at least this much can describe how they performed in Tuesday’s Mount Vernon Sectional.

They did their best.

That was how both coaches (Mount Vernon’s Jackie Maier and Leah Stormont of North Posey) summed up the meet, and it was something which left both coaches highly pleased.

The Lady Wildcats finished seventh in the meet with 44 points, while the Lady Vikings came in ninth with 26.

The county will send a total of six individuals all three Mount Vernon relay teams to this week’s Evansville Regional, with the Lady Wildcats contributing four of the individuals.

Many of the individual qualifiers are also on the relay teams.

Mount Vernon coach Jacie Maier was pleased. “We had some wonderful surprises,� Maier said “And we had lots of personal bests. You can’t ask for more than that.�

The Lady Cats didn’t win any blue ribbons, but they will send some familiar faces to Central Stadium.

All three relay teams qualified, as did mainstays like Erica McCormick in the 800-run, Katie Cox in the long jump and members of the relay teams like Ellen Foster, Jenny Koch and Lauren Stemple. “I really preach to the ladies that depth is important and teamwork is important,� Maier said. “It was really nice to see tonight that each of the relays were able to get out of the Sectional. I think that shows that teamwork is important, that everyone plays a huge role in being successful. One can have your one powerhouse, but you need everyone to be successful.�

But there were some less-than-familiar names who also stepped up, like Alex Weintraut who finished fourth in the discus and became the first Mount Vernon athlete to punch her ticket to the Regional.

Weintraut was one of those surprises, Maier said, but so was Foster, who cleared five feet, one inch for second in the high jump. “We knew that she (Foster) was very capable of jumping (over five feet),� Maier explained “But really she had only cleared four-eight this year and had to (jump her personal best) tonight. She did and that really surprised us.�

Weintraut also registered a personal best to finish fourth in the discus. “At the Big Eight, we told the girls that we wanted to run well as a team.� the coach explained. “We go as a team. We want to run our best, we wanted to beat Jasper, we wanted to win the conference. We fell short in that (they were second), but we had a lot of personal records and we had a super, super night. Our team’s come a long way.�

Maier lightened her team’s load a bit in order to improve their chances in events where they would have a better chance of advancing.

Maier is excited about her team’s chances at the Regional, but said that once again, personal improvement will be a top priority. “Awesome, amazing,� is how Stormont described her team’s efforts. “They did so good, so I’m very proud of them.

They showed a lot of heart out there.�

A lot of heart, but only two girls advanced to this week’s Regional, Emma Werry, who finished fourth in the 300-meter low hurdles, and Meagan Bender, who took second in the 400-meter dash. “That’s more than we had last year,� Stormont said. “And we had a lot of (personal bests), so that’s great for us.�

Distance runner Olivia Goebel came close, taking fifth in both the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs, while Mackenzie Orlik was also a near miss.

Stormont thought the times were better than their performances in the Pocket Athletic Conference meet. Bender possibly broke a school record in the 400, while Werry improved on her personal best by two seconds and Goebel knocked 10 seconds off her best time in the two-mile.

Bender is potentially the best shot for North Posey, Stormont said, adding that the junior finished fourth last year.

The competition was stiff Tuesday, with teams like Memorial (117 points), Castle (109) and Mater Dei (51) in the mix.

Those teams went 1-2-4 in the meet, with North (72) in third place. That made individual advancement more of a priority, Maier said, as well as well achieving personal records.

Reitz was fifth in the meet with 50 points, while Bosse (45) edged Mount Vernon for sixth place. Harrison (26) came between the Posey County squads, while Central rounded out

the top 10 with 19 tallies.

Bosse and Day School tied for 11th with 11 points each, while Signature (three) rounded out the field.

Opportunities, challenges await baseball, softball teams

By Dave Pearce With a tremendous opportunity looking them in the face, the North Posey Vikings will enter the Tell City baseball sectional on a high note, winners of eight straight games. A look at some of the individual statistics and one soon realizes why the Vikings are excited about playing the class’s topranked team in the opening round of the tournament.

While the Forest Park Rangers certainly have carved out an excellent record (21-3) to go with their excellent athletic reputation in Ferdinand, the Vikings certainly come in as no slouches. As a matter of fact, the Tell City sectional is, without question, the toughest Class 2A sectional in the state, featuring four of the teams mentioned in this week’s rankings. South Spencer at 16-6 and the homestanding Marksmen at 19-5 are also ranked 7-8, and Mater Dei received honorable mention But North Posey will get their opportunity to make a statement on opening night at 5 p.m. local time as they face the Class’s top-ranked team first.

Going into this past weekend’s contests, the team’s

leading hitter was Nick Scheller. Scheller was batting around .525, just about the same average as he had at this same juncture of the season last year.

“That’s an outstanding average,” Reid said. “I think some of the guys who follow Viking baseball were surprised to see that his average was just about the same as it was last year at this time. He probably hasn’t driven the ball quite as well this year with the extra-base hits and the doubles, but Nick hustles. He gets out of the box so well so he has picked up some infield hits to go with the fact that he is just a quality hitter.”

Scheller is also leading the team with 36 RBIs and had four home runs going into the weekend. Jourdan Bender and Brandon Spahn are tied for the home run leadership with five apiece.

Bender picked up his second grand slam home run of the year at Loogootee on Friday night.

“I credit my son with that because he was at both games,” Reid said with a chuckle. “He has only been to a handful of games but Bender had a grand slam in two of them. He’s Jourdan’s good luck charm.”

Reid said that unofficially, there are two other hitters well over .400 and the majority of the line-up is hitting over .300.

“If you go from the top of the line-up, Jared Meliff is hitting in the .320s and Austin Bender is well over .300.

K.D. Patton is hitting close to .400 and Brandon Spahn is well over .300,” Reid said.

“Alex hasn’t had the at-bats but Jordan) Bender was hitting over .270 but after this weekend, he is probably up over .300. As a team, going into the weekend, we were hitting .333.”

“For a state championship caliber team, you would like to see that right around .350, but right now, I’ll take that,” Reid said with a chuckle while on the way home from the double-header sweep of Martinsville. “We want that batting average in the tournament to be up there around .350. But I guess the one thing that surprised me about our batting averages being so high is the fact that we have had so many strikeouts. We have struck out well over a hundred times and have drawn 90-some walks.

We still have to improve in that respect.”

The Vikings, if they pulled out the Monday win at Wood Memorial, would enter Sectional play at 17-8.

In other sectional action around the area, the baseball and softball teams go from one thing right to another.

Softball Sectionals throughout the State of In-

diana got underway Monday night, and the baseball Sectionals will get started in some parts of the state Wednesday, including the Class 3A tournament at Evansville.

The Indiana High School Athletic Association announced the pairings for this year’s baseball Sectionals Tuesday in Indianapolis.

Two of the three Posey County schools drew the first game at their respective Sectionals a day apart.

The Mount Vernon Wildcats will open the festivities at Braun Stadium on the University of Evansville campus with a 5:30 p.m. contest against Gibson Southern, with Boonville

and Princeton squaring off in the second contest.

Mount Venron athletic director Gary Redman explained that the Evansville Sectional is starting a night early to fit the games in around local high school graduations and possible rain dates.

Bosse and Memorial drew the bye and will meet on Monday, May 30, following the game between Wednesday’s winners.

The North Posey Vikings will also start things off in the Class 2A Tell City Sectional, set to get underway Thursday, as North Posey takes on No. 1-ranked Forest Park in a 5 p.m. contest.

South Spencer drew Perry

Central and will take on the Commodores in Thursday’s second game, with the winner facing either North Posey or Forest Park on May 30. Mater Dei and host Marksmen drew the bye and will meet in the second game on May 30, with those winners playing that night for the championship.

Memorial Day will also be Sectional day at Tecumseh, with the Class 1A semifinals and finals taking place in Lynnville. New Harmony takes on Wood Memorial in the second game, with the host Braves and Cannelton paired in the opener.

The Sectional winners will move on to regional play on June 4 throughout the state.

Lady Wildcats take Invite title before making early tourney exit

By Steve Joos The Lady Wildcats won Thursday’s Mount Vernon Sectional girls’ tennis meet.

Unfortunately for Mount Vernon, it was the other Lady Wildcats who went home victorious.

If only second singles players had their own individual tournament.

Then the Mount Venron girls’ tennis team would be assured of a place at the next level.

Unfortunately for Mount Vernon, they only take individuals at first singles and first doubles, so the season came to a bittersweet end for Jenna Reidford as well as the rest of her teammates as Mount Vernon was eliminated at their Sectional by Mater Dei Thursday 4-1.

Reidford closed out her season with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Mater Dei’s Emily McAtee for the lone bright spot in Thursday’s meet, which was briefly disrupted by rain.

Claire Schroeder put up a fight, forcing her first singles match to three sets before losing to Claire Alvey 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, while Theresa Scheller dropped Sara O’Neil 6-1, 6-2, at third singles.

At doubles, the first spot went to Brooke

Slaton and Ali Weinzapfel 6-2, 6-2, over Audrey Summers and Hayley Salaman, while Ashley Knight and Paige Knowles fell to Jessi Moll and Emily Moers 6-1, 6-1 at second doubles.

“It just didn’t turn out the way Mount Vernon wanted to finish its season,” assistant coach Steve Schroeder said. “But we played against a very balanced, well-prepared Mater Dei team.”

Schroeder praised Reidford for her efforts.

“Jenna Reidford played a really good match,” Schroeder said. “She has been one of our steadiest players, but we lost at every other position. It was a tough loss, one we’re taking it as a lesson to get ready for next year.”

Schroeder was pleased with the way first singles and first doubles played in a pair of tough losses, but he was quick to point out how quickly Mater Dei took control of the other spots.

“It was a tough match for Ashley Knight and Paige Knowles, who are our seniors,” Schroeder said. “They played good and kept improving all year. We just weren’t as ready for the last match as we could have been.”

Before the Sectional, Mount Vernon won championships in three of five spots as the Lady Wildcats took first in the recent Heritage Hills Invitational.

The Lady Cats scored 20 points as a team, while Pike Central came in second with 15.

Heritage Hills and South Spencer tied for third with 10 points each.

Schroeder defeated Nicole Rogier of South Spencer 6-1, 6-1 at first singles, while Reidford did her thing, beating Bridget Butcher of Heritage Hills 6-1, 6-2 at second singles.

O’Neil rounded out the Lady Wildcats’ singles sweep with a 6-1, 6-1 win over another Lady Rebel, Lauren Martin, at the third singles.

Knowles and Knight put up a fight, especially in the second set, but lost to Pike Central’s Carson Fowler and Hayley Church 6-1, 6-4 at second doubles.

Summers and Salaman bounced back from a 4-6, 6-2(10-4) loss in the first round to beat Crystal Bidwell and Bethany Damin 6-3, 6-0 for third place at first doubles.

The Mount Vernon duo lost their opener to the eventual champions, Brooke Riddle and Sam Selby of the Lady Chargers.

In the other firsr round meets, Schroeder topped Rachel Drach of Heritage Hills 6-0, 6-0, while Reidford was a 6-1, 6-1 winner over Syd Selby of Pike Central and O’Neil topped Erin Bisterveld of the Lady Chargers 6-1, 6-1.

Knowles and Knight were 2-6, 7-6(7-5), (10-6) winners over Shayla Ball and Cheyenne Ramsey of South Spencer.

Mount Vernon closed out its season with a 10-10 record, a big jump after starting the year at 0-5 against very tough early competition.

“We had pretty good success at Heritage Hills,” Schroeder said. “We won that invite, that was good for the girls and we won our own invite this year. We’ve been pretty successful, pretty good overall.”

A team has to be ready to play from the start, Schroeder said, adding that this year’s squad improving over the course of the campaign.

But they came up against a good team at the Sectional, where Reidford finished her year at 16-2.

Now, if only second singles players could move on in the individual tourney.

By Steve Joos Four members of the Mater Dei varsity girls’ tennis team graduated Saturday afternoon after bringing home a present for the school’s trophy case from Mount Vernon in the morning.

After pulling out a pair of almost trademark 3-2 victories over Reitz and Central at the Mount Vernon Sectional, the North Posey Lady Vikings ran into a more formidable foe in the more experienced Lady Wildcats and were shut out 5-0 for the Sectional title.

North Posey coach Brandon Barrett thought the better team won Saturday, but he also thought the Lady Vikings put up a good fight.

“The scores at some of the matches were a lot closer than they appeared in the paper,” Barrett said. “I think we did much better against them than we did last year. We’ll take the positive step for the years to come.”

Despite the shut out, most of the matches were back and forth with a number of contests going to deuce.

Wendi Simpson and Kendall Reidford had a shot to win at first doubles before they fell 6-3, 7-5 to Ali Weinzapfel and Brooke Slaton.

Natalie Thomas battled Emily McAtee at second singles and went back and forth several times before 7-6, 6-1 loss to what was closer than it appeared in the scorebook.

Shelby Ackerman was also competitive at third singles, taking a 3-0 lead in the second set before she fell 6-2, 6-3 to Theresa Scheller in the match that clinched the title for the Evansville school.

Meagan Durchholz lost to Claire Alvey 6-0, 6-2 at first singles, while the only seniors on this year’s Lady Vikings squad, Katelyn Esche and Nichole Perry, dropped a 6-1, 6-1 decision to Emily Moers and Jessi Moll at second doubles.

First singles and second doubles were the first two

spots to come off the courts Saturday morning and after that, Mater Dei held a 2-0 lead and never looked back.

Experience was something to consider, as North Posey faced a senior-laden defending Sectional champion, Barrett added.

North Posey reached the finals by reversing a regular-season loss by beating Central 3-2 Friday in a meet which was pushed back a night due to rain.

Barrett liked his team’s chances heading into the meet and was pleased with the outcome.

“We knew we had a good shot at the match tonight,” the coach said. “So we came back, did what we had to do and beat them 3-2.”

North Posey reversed a loss at first doubles, with Simpson and Reidford taking a 6-4, 6-4 decision over Melissa Blythe and Cassie Gilham for the win and a shot at the Sectional title.

Esche and Perry dispatched Kaci Nisswandt and Kathy Fricthley 6-2, 6-1 at second doubles, while Thomas was a 6-3, 6-2 winner over Margie Akin at second singles to help clinch the meet.

Experience was a major factor in the win at first doubles, Barrett said, adding that the experience also enabled Simpson and Reidford to keep things going in their direction.

He was pleased with the other two spots as well.

“At second singles, Natalie Thomas played great,” the coach said. “She did her usual, just keep the ball in play, let her opponents make the mistake. At two doubles, they (Esche and Perry) did the same thing they’ve been doing at the net. Just being super aggressive.”

Once again, Durchholz struggled against a star opponent, losing to Jessica Kim 6-0, 6-1, while Ackerman dropped a 6-4, 6-2 decision to Brittany Smith at third singles.

one way and then went the other way, before the Lady Vikings pulled out a 3-2 victory over Reitz.

“First doubles was a really tight match,” Barrett said.

“We knew they were much improved, we played them in the third or fourth match of the year and the first doubles team that we played was much different. The second doubles team was much different team.”

Simpson and Reidford went three sets with Leah Adams and Sara McIntosh, winning 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 to put the Lady Vikings in the semifinals and end a seesaw contest which had seen the Lady Panthers win one spot and the Lady Vikings come back to claim the next one.

So what proved to be the difference?

The Lady Vikings’ level of experience, according to Barrett.

“I didn’t even talk to (Simpson and Reidford) the last two three games,” the coach said. “Because I knew that they would know what to do out there and they did.”

The Lady Viking duo had some trouble with slow starts and trialed 4-3 in the third set, but they told the coach not to worry, that they would take care of things and they did.

First singles was the first spot off the court, with Meagan Bradley knocking off Durchholz 6-3, 6-1, which gave Reitz a 1-0 lead.

Then seconds doubles finished, with Esche and Perry bringing home a 6-3, 7-5 win over Ashlee Powers and Alyssa Brothers.

Third singles was next off the court, and Jessica Scott gave the lead back to the Lady Panthers by beating Ackerman 6-4, 6-1, but Thomas posted a 6-4, 6-3 win over Nancy Feitil at second singles, which left the score tied and both first doubles combos heading for a third set.

Barrett had confidence Esche and Perry would do and they responded by holding off the lady Panthers at second doubles. At second singles, Perry fell behind 4-1 in the first set, which prompted a consultation with the coach. Barrett told her to go back to the basics, which is what she was able to do, pulling out the match.

It was a great season despite Saturday’s loss, as the Lady Vikings closed out their season with a 13-4 record, more than double the six victories turned in by the team lat season.

“I didn’t know what to expect at the beginning of the year,” Barrett said. “I knew with six wins, we would definitely win a few more. Getting to 13, it was just a great, great year. We didn’t have a goal, but 13 wins you’d definitely surpass it.”

Barrett also thanked the parents for their support this season.

Durchholz was the Lady Vikings’ hard-luck kid last week, losing not only to Alvey in the finals, but also providing to the two singles’ players who advanced to the individual Sectional out of Mount Vernon, Kim and Bradley.

None of the first doubles teams from the losing Sectional squads won their matches, which means that the Mount Vernon tourney will not have a representative in that individual doubles Sectional.

Lady Vikings win 2-of-3 over quality opponents in final week

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Lady Vikings spent the last week before heading into sectional softball play working on the little things in practice and playing some of the toughest competition the area has to offer. Coach Gary Gentil was pleased with his team on both accounts.

“We played some really tough competition yesterday,” Gentil said of the team’s split with Northview and Boonville in a round-robin format. “We would like to have gotten Boonville, but I was very pleased with the way we played.”

In the Viking opener, pitcher Shelley Schmitt had her usual strong outing as the Vikings defeated Northview 6-4.

“After the first inning, we hit the ball well and made their pitchers work,” Gentil said of Northview. “They were ranked ninth in last week’s Class 4A poll.”

Gentil complimented Kendyl Ahrens, who was 2-for-4 with an RBI and Deanna Lindauer who went 2-for-2 with two RBIs. “Those girls had some timely hitting for us, bringing in three of our six runs between the two of them,” Gentil said.

“And Jordan Wassmer had a really good day with the bat, too.”

Northview, described by Gentil as a very quick team, used their speed to pick up a run in the first inning.

“They have some ‘slappers,’ and they have some speed to go with that,” Gentil said. “In the first inning they had some chemistry going and got a run on us. But in the second inning, we started making some contact with the ball and gained some confidence. Then in the third inning, we scored three runs on them.”

The Vikings went almost completely through the line-up in the third inning.

But after a couple of good innings at the plate, the Lady Vikings struggled a little on the infield defense in the fifth inning.

“But despite that one inning, we settled down and came back and got runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings,” Gentil said.

But against the Boonville Pioneers, the Vikings faced an unorthodox pitcher who threw a lot of offspeed pitches and moves the ball around really well.

“We really couldn’t get the ball out of the infield very often on her,” Gentil said. “The big key for them was that they scored one run in the first inning, and we came back and scored on in the second to tie it up. They got their other two in the bottom of the second inning and neither team was able to get much offense going from that point forward.”

“It was just a battle after that second inning,” Gentil said.

“No one really got an advantage on the other from that point forward. We did have a nice little run there in the sixth inning when we had runners on second and third but then they started throwing some stuff and we just weren’t able to get the ball out of the infield.”

Gentil was complimentary of the always-tough Pioneers and their Coach Mike Wilson.

“They are ranked seventh in the state in Class 3A and Northview is ninth in the state in Class 4A so I was really pleased with the way we were able to play against that level of talent,” Gentil said.

The Vikings defeated Washington on Thursday by an 8-5 count as Megan Redman led the team with 4-for-4 night at the plate and two RBIS. Lindauer and Lisa Garris also hit the ball well. Lindauer had just one hit but it was a big one, a triple with two RBIs. Garris also added a pair of hits with an RBI. “We got some good run production and all in all, we used a lot of people and a lot of the girls played very well,” Gentil said.

The team will enter the Forest Park Sectional with a 14-8 record and will play the second game on Tuesday evening, beginning at 7 p.m. Poseyville time. The Lady Vikings will face Tell City for the right to play for the title on Wednesday evening at 6:30 Poseyville time in Ferdinand.

On Monday, Mater Dei opened the tournament against Perry Central with South Spencer and Forest Park in the second game. The two winners will face off in Tuesday’s first game before the Vikings take on the Marksmen.

Consolation win is little ‘consolation’ for baseball Wildcats

By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon baseball team capped a relatively successful week by routing Vincennes Rivet 17-3 in five innings Saturday to finish third in their invitational tournament.

The Wildcats plated eight runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to salt away third fourth win in five games last week, all by the 10-runrule.

Not that coach Paul Quinzer was all that enthused about it.

A tough loss to Heritage Hills in the opener of the invite will do that to a coach.

“We had a nice pitcher throw against us in the morning,” Quinzer said. “We scored four runs off him, it took us a while to do that. We had to scrap a little bit and then we got him out of there. We went 11 innings and we just couldn’t seem to muster up a run against a pitcher who didn’t throw strikes. We didn’t play defense when we needed to, we’re trying to get into a Sectional mentality today and I’m just not too pleased with that today.”

In short, the win over Vincennes Rivet didn’t really soften the blow of a 9-8, 11inning loss to Heritage Hills in the tourney opener.

Adam Price led off the top of the eleventh with a home run that lifted the Patriots past Mount Vernon in the morning game.

The Cats rallied from an 8-2 deficit in the first game, mainly by waiting until Patriots starting pitcher Ty Simpson left the game and beating up on two relievers for four runs in the bottom of the seventh to knot things up at 8-8.

But they couldn’t anything else, especially after Trent Simpson came out from behind the plate to stop the bleeding in the bottom of the seventh.

The junior had a breaking pitch that was effective, but didn’t impress Quinzer that much. Nevertheless, he was able to shut down the Cats over the three extra innings.

“We got going when (Heritage Hills) changed pitchers,” the coach explained.

“They brought in someone who was more our style of pitcher. That enabled us to score some runs and get us back in the ballgame.”

That was about as far as the Cats could get, however, despite having the winning run in scoring position twice during the extra frames.

Mackenzie Stratton relieved Madison Denning to nail down the victory, which sent the Lady Cats into Sectional play this week withy a 7-11 record.

On Tuesday, visiting Princeton rained on Mount Vernon’s parade 3-1, even though the Lady Cats outhit the visitors 6-5.

The Lady Tigers scored two runs in the top of the third inning and never looked back, adding a third run in the top of the fourth to go up 3-0. Mount Vernon scored its only run of the game in the bottom of the fifth.

Rappites looking for better weather, a few wins It’s been a rough spring for the New Harmony spring sports teams.

The Rappite baseball team only played six games through the first month of the season, while the softball team also saw a number of their games washed out.

The boys’ golf team got off to a later start, but they’re still trying to catch up and get around the wet weather.

New Harmony was 0-4 on the season heading into a recent home meet and the link Rappites have had their struggles with wet conditions, according to coach Rick Johnson.

“When it gets wet, is difficult to get the ball to roll as well,” Johnson said. “There isn’t as much action on the greens.”

The Rappites finished third in a recent triangular meet at Wood Memorial, shooting a 205, compared to 166 for the Trojans and 182 for Tecumseh. Kyle Whitmore led New Harmony with a 46, while the rest of the team didn’t break 50 (Stephen Murray was second on the squad with a 51, Clint Mathews added a 53 and Andrew McDaniel shot a 55).

Only four Rappite golfers have shot in the 40s during the team’s meets so far this season and Whitmore had three of them.

Whitmore shot a 49 in New Harmony’s 191-216 loss to Evansville Signature School at Fendrich and registered another 46 in the season opener, while Matthews fired a 39 on opening day against Day School (the Eagles won 177-188).

The first meet of the season was played in the best conditions the team has faced so far this year, according to Johnson and it was played on the Rappites’ home course, CountryMark in Mount Vernon.

McDaniel carded a 50 and Kris Scarfia a 53 against Day School, while Matthews carded a 51 against Signature. Scarfia and Murray each shot 58s against Signature.

A rematch with Day School in Evansville and a home date against Cannelton have both been rained out, while the team’s most recent contest was itself a make-up contest.

Viking golfers still looking for ‘stride’ A little bit here, a little bit there.

That seemed to be the difference for the North Posey boys’ golf team Friday, as Signature School nipped the Vikings 169-170 at McDonald, as just everybody seemed to cancel each other out with a few exceptions which spelled the difference for the Vikings.

Dylan Krohn’s 41 was one stroke behind Signature’s Daniel Nassiatka (40), but Ty Butler’s fourth score of 45 one a shot better than Kainoa Rosaldo (46), Signature’s fourth man.

A 41 by Brendan Downs gave the meet to Signature, as his score a stroke better than Alex Wade’s 42, as he and Clint Cox fired the same score to finish 2-3 for the Vikings.

Aaknoor Cheema rounded out the Signature foursome with a 42.

The North Posey golf team has had its share of ups and downs this season, but at the recent Pocket Athletic Conference meet, they were definitely in an “up” position.

Wade shot a 75 as the Vikings finished third at Christmas Lake in the PAC. North Posey nipped fourth place Gibson Southern (336) by three strokes to take third in the meet, while coming in six strokes behind runner-up Southridge (327). Heritage Hills won the championship with a score of 309 on their home course.

Krohn shot an 83, and Butler an 87 as a tight pack backed

up Wade and gave the Vikings a high finish. Cox’s 88 rounded out the foursome, Austin Enright (101) had the team’s fifth score.

Pike Central was fifith with 350 strokes, followed by South Spencer (352), Tell City (377) and Forest Park (439).

The Vikings tuned up for the meet by controlling a triangular with Pike Central and Bosse at Cambridge.

Butler carded a 38 as the Vikings finished with a 167 and was in the clubhouse well ahead of the Chargers (192) and Bosse (205).

Wade and Cox each fired 42s as North Posey’s top three golfers shot lower than Levi Richardson, who paced the Charges with a 44, only one stroke better than North Posey’s number four man (Krohn with a 45).

Donald Hardy paced the Bulldogs with a 46.

The Vikings started their week sandwiched between Gibson Southern and Mater Dei in a triangular meet at Cambridge.

Krohn shot s 43 as the Vikings finished with 183 strokes, six behind the Titans (177), but 10 in front of Mater Dei (193).

Wade carded a 44, Butler a 47 and Enright a 49 to round out the North Posey foursome. Overall medalist Peter Hall carded a 40 to lead Gibson Southern, which was three strokes better than Krohn’s score. Will Lutrell (45) and Andrew Cooper (47) were each two strokes lower than North Posey’s 3-4 men (Butler and Enright). Throw in Steven Leary’s 45 and you have a six-stroke victory margin for the Titans.

Josh Striber led Mater Dei with a 45.

Monday’s meet with North and Mount Vernon was moved from Fendrich to Helfrich Hills due to high water damage at Fendrich.

The Vikings finished third in a recent triangular at Princeton, shooting a 184 to finish six strokes behind South Knox.

The Spartans played it better, but not that much, as they finished 16 strokes behind the Tigers, trialing 162-178.

It seemed as if each team settled into their positions without a lot of trouble, starting at the top. Princeton’s Jacqueb Taylor was the medalist with a 36, four strokes better than Dean Adams of South Knox (40), who was two shots in front of the number-one Viking, Butler (42).

THANK YOU FROM THE FAMILY OF TRACY (DEAL) REESE Thank you to everyone for the love, prayers, visits, cards, food, and gifts we received during the illness and subsequent passing of our beloved Tracy. We especially thank those who came to Tracy’s house to sing to her on what ended up being her last good day. She truly enjoyed every moment of that afternoon! The outpouring of love received during Tracy’s 11 year cancer journey and her visitation was overwhelming… .a true testament to what an inspiration she was to all of us!

A heartfelt thank you goes to Rev. Warren and Rev. Seburg for their visits, prayers, and participation in the funeral service. We’d also like to thank those who coordinated, served, and donated towards the wonderful funeral dinner. The dinner was a perfect time for us to remember Tracy and to “keep our forks…because the best is yet to come!” We miss Tracy every day, but find comfort knowing her pain is gone and she is among God’s other angels enjoying the “best” with our Lord!

The impoundment above the John T. Myers Lock and Dam has a surface area of 19,350 acres and a storage capacity of 543,862 acre-feet. Because the purpose of the storage is navigational only, the storage would not be used for power generation.

The impoundment above the Newburgh Lock and Dam has a surface area of 16,390 acres and a storage capacity of 455,800 acre-feet.

Giving has become a way of life for Carol Collier-Smith Long-time Mount Vernon resident Carol Collier-Smith brings beauty and grace to everything she touches – from the ivories on the keyboard to the iris in her garden.

She has won the heart of Dr. Betty Hart foremost for her dedication to their First United Methodist Church in Mount Vernon.

Smith has volunteered her time and talent to accompany the chancellor choir at First United Methodist during the sick leave of the regular pianist, Joanie Novak.

“Along with Michelle Wheaton, she has given unselfishly of her time for several of the church singing groups in addition to the chancellor choir, including the Maranatha Singers, the Gospel Group and the Praise Singers,” Hart says.

Her admiration for Smith doesn’t, however, stop there.

“Carol Smith, besides being of the most generous and friendly people I know, has an impeccable taste in fashion,” Hart adds.

That same taste in co-

ordinating colors spills over into Smith’s garden.

When guests to her home walk onto the backyard deck, they are met with an oasis. Roses line the privacy fence, and a myriad of flowers sweep around the pool. Smith enjoys gardening, and her joy is evident in her lush landscaping, reminiscent of an Impressionist painting.

Smith derives great joy from her work as well.

A psychiatric nurse by

trade, Smith worked on acute and long term psychiatric units and then developed psychiatric home care programs before becoming the Chief Operating Officer for Echo Community Health Care in Evansville, where she’s served for the past 10 ½ years. Echo provides primary medical care which includes family and internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN), prenatal and pediatric services on

C4

an affordable sliding fee scale to those that are uninsured and underinsured.

“I love my work,” she says. “It’s a blessing when you get to love your work, and you believe in what you do and you love the people you

work with.”

She and her husband Mike Smith will celebrate their 17th wedding anniversary next month.

They share four children in their twenties—a daughter and a son each.

The Smiths will celebrate the birth of their

first grandchild, Ryder, next month also. The Smiths’ family would be incomplete without their Wheaten Terriers, Barcley and Bailey, themselves first-time parents to four puppies, all living on their own now in new homes.
