Second person guilty of donated funds theft

By Dave Pearce An Evansville man was found guilty by jury on Friday afternoon in Posey County Superior Court.

According to Posey County Deputy Prosecutor Jonathan Parkhurst, Kenneth Krietemeyer was charged with thefts of funds which were raised to help the family of then 22-year-old Kendra Creek who lost portions of all four of her extremities as the result of Neisseria Bacterial Meningitis. Krietemeyer was charged with theft, a Class D felony.

“We then filed for habitual offender charges, alleging two prior felony convictions,” Parkhurst said. “He was charged in the past with burglary, a Class D felony and Criminal Mischief, a Class C

felony.”

Parkhurst said the jury heard evidence both Thursday and Friday and deliberated a little less than two hours before returning with a guilty verdict on the theft charge.

“He then pled guilty to the judge on the habitual offender charge,” Parkhurst said. “Sentencing has been set for June 19 at 1:30.”

On May 1 of 2010, the North Posey High School graduate suffered from a severe headache at her job at a convenience mart at the corner of Interstate 64 and Highway 41 in Vanderburgh County. The next day, after she lost consciousness on the job, she was rushed to the Emergency Room at St. Mary’s Hospital and within hours had been

Funkhouser awarded Key to City in Sunday reception

By Dave Pearce Mount Vernon Junior High School Principal Jerry Funkhouser will be retiring at the end of the school year. He would be the first to admit that he has been around the Mount Vernon School Corporation for a while.

But during a reception held in his honor on Sunday afternoon, Funkhouser fought back tears as he told a room full of well-wishers that the reason he has decided to retire is because of his family.

“I have spent a lot of time here and I have cheated my family,” Funkhouser said, referring to the long days and long nights put in at the school. “I want to take this opportunity to make it up to them. I want to be a better dad and an even better grandpa.”

But to put things in perspective, here are the top ten things going on in the world when Funkhouser returned to his hometown to teach after a three-year stint at Vermillion County just out of college.

1. United States launches Christmas bombing campaign against Hanoi, North Vietnam.

2. Last US ground units leave Vietnam.

3. FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover dies.

4. “Pong” introduces the video game craze.

5. SALT I treaty limiting nucle-

7. Black September terrorist attack at Munich Olympics, 11 Israeli athletes killed.

8. US President, Richard Nixon, visits the People’s Republic of

China.

9. The Goodyear Blimp flies for the first time. and 10. Bobby Fischer beats Boris Spassky to become World Chess Champion.

But Funkhouser says that the more things change, the more they really stay the same.

“The advancement of technol-

ogy is probably the single biggest change during my time here,” Funkhouser said in a Sunday evening interview. “But the kids are still the same. They want to learn.

Some of the students are blessed with parents who have better parenting skills than others but that’s

The disease is generally deadly and most don’t survive for more than 48 hours after diagnosis.

Kendra had recently returned to the Posey County area after spending a few years near one of her grandparents in Colorado. She grew up in Cynthiana, the daughter of Mike and Angee (Catiller, NPHS Class of 1981) Creek.

During a plea for funds, Krietemeyer was quoted as stating, ‘You always hear about murder, mayhem, and misery but you seldom hear about the good things that go on in a community. Posey County

company to help Mount Vernon plan

By Pam Robinson The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety acted on a number of legals important to the public at the Thursday, May 3, meeting.

First, Clerk-Treasurer Denise Dike received board approval to ask the county auditor for an advance draw on the city’s tax settlement.

Immediately afterward, the board approved a contract with Umbaugh & Associates (Evansville) as the third party to review city budgets from 2011-2013. The charge for the review will not exceed $6,000.

Mayor John Tucker stated that Umbaugh will review the past 2011 budget and analyze the current 2012 budget and the proposed 2013 budget. Meetings for the 2013 budget preparations are scheduled for the end of May with budget numbers to be submitted in June.

Tucker explained that in working with the budgets, Umbaugh will compile schedules of cash receipts, cash disbursements and balances of all major funds. In addition, Umbaugh will compile a projection of cash receipts and cash disbursements and balances of the major funds that support city operations for calendar year 2012 through and including 2013.

Umbaugh will then recommend a level of minimum fund balances to maintain, identify potential funding deficits and shortfalls in revenue

Kiwanians hold local tetanus fundraiser Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. The deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year. The effects of the disease are excruciating – tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.

To eliminate MNT from the earth, more than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, and thousands of skilled staff. We can improve and possibly save a life for only $1.80 to support the dedicated work of UNICEF. The New Harmony Kiwanis is serv-

ing a spaghetti dinner at the Catholic Community Center and all proceeds will go towards saving these lives.

You will not only have all you can eat but also have the satisfaction of knowing you will save a life or two.

Wednesday May 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. at CCC Adults $10, students $5, and under 6 are free. Tickets available at the door.

takes care of its own.”

Upon learning of the plight of Creek, fundraisers were started around the area with the contact people being Krietemeyer and Mary Gish. But things went south when the funds were found missing. Gish pleaded guilty to theft, a class D felony, said Posey County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jonathan Parkhurst. She was sentenced on Oct. 11, 2011, in Posey Superior Court.

Indiana State Police arrested Gish in October after an investigation revealed she stole more than $7,000 from an account set up for Creek and her family.

Creek’s arms and lower legs had to be amputated at Wishard Hospital in Indianapolis to stop infection after she contracted bacterial meningitis last spring.

Krietemeyer also was arrested at that time. According to police he allegedly took more than $3,500 from the account.

cookies, sauerkraut, crafts, aprons, custom embroidery, perennial plants, cut flowers, home-grown vegetables, goats’ milk soap and many other items for sale. They will be located in the open lot at the water tower. Anyone interested in become a vendor should contact Jenny La Mar at 673-4018.

Maps will be available at the town hall, Hirsch’s, Dollar General and One Stop later this week.

Funkhouser to retire, from Page A1 Some of the students are blessed with parents who have better parenting skills than others but that’s really probably just because of society. They see so many things on television. But for the most part, the kids still come to school to learn. And for the most part, school is the best place for them.”

Funkhouser said members of the community would probably be surprised be the number of students who are already at the school sometimes when he gets there at 6:30 a.m. and he says there are times when “you almost have to run them off.” He went on to say that even when he is working late into the evening in his office, a number of students come by the window and wave hello.

“So many of them just want someone to give them a little attention,” Funkhouser said.

Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker was also on hand for the program.

“It was once said that few of us realize the far-reaching effects of our existence,” Tucker told Funkhouser and the crowd before presenting Funkhouser with a Key to the City.

“Your effects are etched in the lives of those with whom you have come into contact with during your 29 years of service as the Mount Vernon Junior High School principal…your students, your colleagues, and your friends.”

Tucker went on to say that the Key to the City was presented to signify the many years of service and the many lives that the retiring principal has touched.

Funkhouser began his career as a teacher and a coach after earning his undergraduate from Indiana University. His postgraduate work was done primarily at Indiana State University.

Co-workers presented Funkhouser with an IMac for his

retirement.

Funkhouser said of all the things he will miss during retirement, it will be the relationships that he will miss the most… with the students, the teachers, and the parents.

“I am mighty proud of this building but more importantly, I am proud of the people that are in the building,” Funkhouser said. “I have been blessed with great people all 29 years. And as a result of that, your kids and grandkids have received a better education.”

But of the relationships, Funkhouser said he has developed many positive relationships throughout the years in the school and the community.

“Those relationships will always be there,” Funkhouser said. “But they will be hard to foster. Those are the things I cherish the most.”

When asked if he had any advice for his successor, Kyle Jones, he said simply, “Follow your heart.”

“If you are a person of integrity and you follow your heart, you will be OK,” Funkhouser said.

Funkhouser said he was recently asked if he wanted to be put at the top of the substitute teacher’s list. In true Funkhouser form, he replied, “Yes, put me right at the top of the list. That way, when (new principal) Kyle (Jones) calls me, I can tell him I have something else going on that day.”

Funkhouser is the son of Archie and Edna Funkhouser of Mount Vernon. He is married to Cheryl Funkhouser. He has two siblings, sister Nancy Green and brother, Carol Funkhouser. The couple has two children, Kyle and Kristen. And last but far from least are three grandchildren, Maddi, Reis, and Kelsey.

Historic New Harmony Happenings By Missy Parkinson Did you know that New Harmony residents can tour the historic sites in town for free? If you are new to town or have never taken a tour – or would like a refresher on the unique history of New Harmony – please come by and take advantage of this opportunity. Guided walking tours begin at the Atheneum and take place every day starting at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The tours last about an hour and a half.

To find out more, you can contact MeLissa Williams, visitor services coordinator for Historic New Harmony, by coming by the Atheneum/ Visitor’s Center located at 401 South Arthur Street, call-

ing 812/682-4474 or visiting us online at www.newharmony.org.

Here are some interesting facts you could learn more about on a tour: In the Harmonie Society, the age of 14 was considered to be the start of adulthood.

At that age, boys and girls were required to live in one of the Community Houses.

Thomas Say, one of the pioneers of American biology, discovered many of his species in New Harmony and surrounding areas.

In 1975, when the Salomon Wolf House was moved to its present location, each brick was turned around for preservation purposes.

The Harmonist Cemetery contains Native American burial mounds from the Woodland Indian period.

Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied, who traced the Lewis and Clark trail, spent several months in New Harmony.

When the Harmonists were here, they were informed every morning of their duties for the entire day.

The Working Men’s Institute has more mussel shells than the Smithsonian Institute.

Historic New Harmony is a unified program of the University of Southern Indiana and the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites.

Purdue Extension to offer jam making class May 22 Strawberries are a great part of your diet. One cup contains about 50 calories and they are a good source of folate and great source of Vitamin C. They can be a part of your MyPlate breakfast, lunch or dinner.

If you are picking sweet juicy berries in the patch or buying them in the store remember once picked strawberries do not ripen further.

Look for bright red berries with a natural fresh-looking sheen and bright green caps.

Don’t worry about the size;

they are all equally sweet and juicy.

Store strawberries uncovered or loosely wrapped in the refrigerator. Optimum temperature is 34 -38°F. Leaves the caps attached before washing them, in fact don’t remove them until you are ready to use the berries.

Plan ahead; strawberries have the best flavor when they are allowed to reach room temperature before serving. They do deteriorate rapidly so use them within 5 days of purchasing them.

Can’t get them used up?

Berries freeze well. Quick freeze them on a baking pan.

When frozen place the berries in freezer bags for up to 1 year. Or make some delicious jams or jellies.

How much to buy? One pint of berries is equal to 3 ¼ cup whole berries or 2 ¼ cups sliced berries.

Maybe you would like to learn how to make Strawberry Jam? Purdue Extension is offering a workshop for the novice jam makers.

Grocery prices rise on Farm Bureau survey • • • •

INGREDIENTS 3 baskets of fresh strawberries 1/2 cup sugar Whipping cream Vanilla DIRECTIONS 1. Remove the stems from the strawberries. Slice into thin (1/4” to 1/8”) slices. Put into a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of sugar (depending on how sweet the strawberries are to begin with) and mix into the strawberries.

Set aside at room temperature to macerate (which means that the sugar will soften the strawberries and help release their juices).

2. After the strawberries have been sitting for 20 minutes or so, take a potato masher and mash them a little. Not too much, just enough to get more juice out of them.

3. Whip the cream, adding a drop or two of vanilla and a teaspoon of sugar.

4. To serve, break up one biscuit per person into big pieces into a bowl. Ladle strawberries over the biscuit. Add a dolop of whipped cream.

BISQUICK BISCUITS INGREDIENTS 2 1/3 cups Bisquick baking mix 3 Tbsp butter, melted 1/2 cup milk 3 Tbsp sugar DIRECTIONS 1. Heat oven to 425°F. Stir baking mix, melted butter, milk, and 3 Tbsp of sugar in a mixing bowl until soft dough forms. Drop by 6 spoonfuls on to a greased cookie sheet.

Grocery prices rose only slightly during the first quarter of 2012, according Indiana Farm Bureau’s survey, but that increase was enough to set a new record high for food prices on the survey.

Indiana Farm Bureau’s latest “market basket” survey, an informal compilation of grocery prices, shows that the 16 food items on the survey cost an average of $51.15, up $1.55 from the fourth-quarter 2011 survey. The previous record was $50.70, set in the third quarter of 2008. Of the 16 items surveyed, six decreased in price and 10 increased.

The IFB survey is part of a nationwide survey compiled by the American Farm Bureau Federation from data supplied by state Farm Bureaus. AFBF, the nation’s largest general farm organization, has been conducting the informal quarterly market basket survey of retail food price trends since 1989.

“It’s not intended to be a scientific survey,” noted Isabella Chism, IFB 2nd vice president. “It’s conducted by volunteer shoppers, each of whom goes to her local grocery store and collects price information. So it’s really a snapshot of what prices the shoppers saw over a period of a few days in March.” A total of 64 shoppers in 24 states participated in the latest survey.

Twenty-three volunteers par-

ticipated in IFB’s survey.

The national survey reported an even larger increase, with prices rising by $3.24 to $52.47, or about 7 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. Most of the increase on both the Indiana and national surveys was due to higher prices for meats and cheese.

“Retail prices for meats and cheese were higher in the first quarter of the year due to generally strong demand and tight supplies, a situation that carried over from 2011,” said John Anderson, an AFBF senior economist. “According to Agriculture Department data, retail meat prices probably peaked sometime in the first quarter, and wholesale prices have declined noticeably in recent weeks. This suggests that retail meat prices may decline as 2012 progresses.”

In the Indiana survey, sliced deli ham increased by 66 cents to $5.68 per pound, while shredded cheese rose by 62 cents to $4.70/pound.

Other increases in the meat/ dairy sector include ground chuck; which rose by 24 cents to $3.18/pound; boneless chicken breasts, up 23 cents to $3.13; and bacon, which rose by 6 cents to $4.07/ pound.

Other items that increased in price were potatoes, up by 28 cents per 5 pounds to $2.93; bagged salad mix, up 24 cents per pound to $2.42;

5 pounds of flour, up 17 cents to $2.68; a 20-ounce loaf of white bread, up 11 cents to $1.60; and 10-ounce box of cereal, up 2 cents to $3.10.

The largest decreases were for vegetable oil, which dropped by 72 cents to $3.33 for a 32-ounce bottle, and eggs, which dropped by 19 cents per dozen to $1.71.

Also showing decreases were a half-gallon of orange juice, down 8 cents to $3.15; sirloin tip roast, down 5 cents/ pound to $4.36; a gallon of whole milk, down 3 cents to $3.24; and apples, down 1 cent to $1.87 per pound.

Farm Bureau’s market basket survey isn’t intended to be a definitive survey. However, the year-to-year direction of the survey tracks with the federal government’s Consumer Price Index (www.bls.gov/ cpi/) report for food at home.

As retail grocery prices have increased gradually over time, the share of the average food dollar that America’s farm and ranch families receive has dropped until it now stands at about 14 percent, according to the USDA’s “Food Dollar” series. The revised series can be found online at www.ers.usda. gov/Data/FoodDollar/app/.

According to USDA, Americans spend just under 10 percent of their disposable annual income on food, the lowest average of any country in the world.

“A Night in India” Fundraiser May 12 "A Night in India" Fundraiser for Wesley Knight & Tashi Kyil Monastery On Saturday, May 12, from 5 - 9 p.m., Bodyworks Massage Institute is hosting "A Night in India", an event to raise funds for Wesley Knight, son of Daniel Knight Studio B Photography, and Tashi Kyil Monastery of Dehradun, India.

A full course Indian dinner, Indian music and dancers, a slideshow from a group journey to India in January, a pho-

to gallery of prints by Daniel Knight, and a silent auction will fill the memorable evening.

and provide a preliminary report of their findings.

Of more immediate concern to residents, perhaps, is the action taken to work on sewer liens. City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins and sewer plant employee Vicki Bethel reported to the board that Bethel will work to find landowners and legal descriptions of properties for sewer only based on printed reports of delinquent accounts.

Higgins explained that if a tenant runs up a bill, the owner will receive notice in writing regarding the unpaid bill. Liens may be placed on sewer and sanitation, but not on water. If a bill is not paid, the lien will be placed on the property and paid with property taxes. According to Higgins, annual state audits of the sewer department stress the necessity to place liens on unpaid bills.

In discussing lien costs, Higgins said that fees of $60 to $70—including the statutory fee and recording fees—will be assessed on top of the delinquent fees. After 80 days (60 days after shutting off the account plus an additional 20 days), the lien is certified and recorded, and the bill can no longer be paid at Water Works. She added that the lien notice will be delivered either by certified mail or in person.

The board unanimously voted to move forward with the sewer lien process.

In other business: •The board approved proceeding with the vacating of the west half of the east/west alley along the armory building (old parks and recreation building).

•Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Givens provided new standard operating procedures, or SOPs, to the board in compliance with an insurance audit regarding safety pro-

cedures. Board members Steve Fuelling, Bill Curtis and Mayor John Tucker are reviewing the SOPs. In addition, Givens sought direction on repairing a manhole in a resident’s backyard. Board members agreed Givens should get a price on repairing the one manhole and then get a price on repairing additional manholes in disrepair. Finally, Givens asked for board approval to increase his petty cash from $100 to $300. The board passed a resolution to allow the sewer department to increase petty cash from $100 to $300 with receipts to be turned in bi-weekly, coinciding with the bi-weekly payroll.

•Megan Hollander with the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana presented paperwork and a claim from Kieffer Brothers along with Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates and Blankenberger Brothers for Mayor Tucker’s signature. The documents, dealing with the sewer renovation, will now be sent to the Office of Community and Rural Affairs for payment.

•Ann Cottrell with the Alexandrian Public Library appeared to request street closings for “Big Rigs,” a library program that will allow children to view and sit behind the wheel of large vehicles. Board granted permission for the street closing, 5th Street from Main to College, on Wednesday, June 27 from 12:30 to 4 p.m.

•The board approved the request of Andrea Santoro at 621 Locust Street for street closure to host a Memorial Day block party. Board gave permission to close Locust Street from 6th to 7th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again Thursday, May 17, 4 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.

Letter Carriers’ Food Drive for Posey County May 12 The National Association of Letter Carriers’ Food Drive will be on Saturday, May 12, 2012. Your Postal Service letter carrier is asking everyone to place nonperishable food items by their mailbox on this day, for pickup by their letter carrier as they make their appointed rounds.

All of the canned goods and other food items collected by the Mount Vernon city and rural carriers during this food drive will stay in Mt. Vernon, to help families in need in our community. The Mount Vernon postal employees and their family members and local volunteers including volunteers with the United Way of Posey County will be helping to collect the donated food.

United Way of Posey County volunteers are also working with the Post Office in New Harmony to have a food collection box at the New Harmony Post Office May 7 to May 12

for everyone in the New Harmony area to be able to participate.

Local postal employees are asking everyone to help stamp out hunger May 12 for those less fortunate in our communities. If you live on a rural route, or a mounted section of a city route, you can leave your donation of canned goods and other non-perishable foods hanging on your mailbox out on the street early on Saturday. If your letter carrier walks by your house each day, simply leave your food donation by or on your mailbox early on Saturday. Your letter carrier and local volunteers will gladly pick up your donation. Please do not include items that have expired or those in glass containers. If it is more convenient, you can also drop off your nonperishable food donation at the collection sites at McKim’s IGA, Wesselman’s or CVS the week before May 12th, thanks to the help of

Larry Williams, McKim’s IGA manager; Jim Grove, Wesselman’s manager; and Brian Brown, manager at CVS. The food collected in the letter carrier sponsored food drive provided a muchneeded supply at a time of year when food bank supplies tend to be low.

This is the 20th Annual Letter Carriers Food Drive and postal employees ask for your donation of nonperishable food items to make this the best drive yet.

John Hurd, Mount Vernon postmaster, with the assistance of Don Stratton, city carrier in Mount Vernon, will be working on the food drive in Mount Vernon.

NH Kiwanis to hold fundraiser on May 9 Kiwanis International and UNICEF have joined forces to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. The deadly disease steals the lives of nearly 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women each year.

The effects of the disease are excruciating — tiny newborns suffer repeated, painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity to light and touch.

To eliminate MNT from the earth, more than 100 million mothers and their future babies must be immunized. This requires vaccines, syringes, safe storage, transportation, and thousands of skilled staff. We can improve and possibly save a life for only $1.80 to support the dedicated work of UNICEF. The New Harmony Kiwanis is serving a spaghetti

dinner at the Catholic Community Center and all proceeds will go towards saving these lives. You will not only have all you can eat but also have the satisfaction of knowing you will save a life or two.

Wednesday May 9 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Catholic Community Center. Adults $10, students $5, and under 6 are free. Tickets available at the door.

OPINION

Mother’s Day has not been same without you here Dear Mom: As I see the “Mother’s Day” items neatly displayed on the shelves at the stores and I hear all the Mother’s Day commercials on the radio and television, it is hard to believe this will be the sixth Mother’s Day I will have to spend without you.

TRUTH...

I know you always told me STRANGER that time heals everything but THAN just so you will know, so far, FICTION time might have taken a little

BY DAVE of the edge off things. But ap- PEARCE parently enough time has not passed because I really don’t sense total healing now or in the foreseeable future.

I see some individuals who hardly acknowledge their mothers on their special day and I have to think of the words of a song you probably never heard. But one of the lines in the song says “I would give all my tomorrows for a single yesterday.”

Sometimes when I miss you most I think of that. But it doesn’t take me long to realize that is not the way it is supposed to be and you wouldn’t want it that way even if it could be.

I just want to take a few minutes to let you know that things are going along pretty well down here. So many things you taught me have come in handy over the years. As I get older, I can see just how much common sense you had and I wish I had learned to pay attention a little earlier in life. But you understood because you were a child once too.

One of the biggest things you taught me was to be independent. You taught me that the best place to find a helping hand was at the end of my own arm. You taught me there was nothing the world could throw at me that I couldn’t handle if I really had to. With hardly a grade school education, you prepared all your final arrangements so when the time came, almost all I had to do was simply show up. You left no questions as to what was to be done with what you had. You were always like that.

And, wow, has your endurance advice been the best I have ever heard. I have had to conjure up that teaching and strength many, many times but it has gotten me through some of the worst of times. Thanks for sharing it with me.

When I think further back, as a teenager and early in my adulthood, you know I wasn’t always on the up and up with you. But now that I have passed that threshold, I realize that you probably already knew that. You just let me believe that I was pulling the wool over your eyes. Thanks for not spilling the beans.

But mom, as you got older, so many things happened. First, when dad died, I learned from your strength. Again, you proved your strength to me. Even though dad did the best he could

considering the size of his heart, he left you with little or nothing. But somehow, like you always told me, there was nothing that you couldn’t get through if you kept a good attitude and worked hard enough. You proved that to me.

And eventually when the diabetes overtook you, I didn’t think I would be able to stand it when the doctor said they were going to have to amputate one of your legs just below the knee.

But despite the diagnosis and the upcoming surgery, I don’t remember you shedding a tear. Seems like I remember you trying to find out how long it would be before you could be back up doing the things you were accustomed to doing.

But after the amputation, your leg didn’t heal and you had to go through that hell one more time. You had to have the same leg amputated again, this time above the knee. But even though you dreaded it and the nights were long, lonesome, and painful, you found a way to look toward a better tomorrow. You found a way to get better and to keep the sense of pride and independence you always had. After you got home, I remember walking in on you as you were in your wheelchair on a laminate floor trying to sweep with a broom. What determination. Thank you for teaching me that.

But then, on that terrible July morning when I received a call while I was in Arizona trying to “keep the family together” like you always talked about, I was too far away to be of any help. You had suffered a stroke that led to instant onset of severe Alzheimers. But even though your heart was still beating, the mom I knew was already gone.

Still you didn’t give up and did not surrender your independence. Even though you really didn’t know what you were doing or who you were with at times, you always wanted us to know you were independent…that you could take care of yourself. Looking back, you and I both know that you really couldn’t but it wasn’t because you didn’t try. But you did the best you could.

I remember sitting down to the old piano one morning and picking out the tune to “Oh, How I love Jesus.” A smile came to your face and tears to your eyes as for the first time in months, you were able to hum along, right in tune, with the music. You knew what you were singing about.

But then in December, your condition and the fact you had no chance of healing, forced me and the doctors to make a decision. For the first time in my life, we were facing something that you and I together could not overcome. It was a feeling I had never experienced. It was heartwrenching to see you close your eyes and force me realize that your time had come. You were not going to have to fight anymore. You were going home. Despite the hurt I felt inside and my feeling of betrayal, I did what I

Somebody has finally “hacked” me off

By Pam Robinson My Posey County neighbors sometimes comment about my typically mild manner. I do, indeed, want to smile—a lot. After all, teachers of all the world’s major religions commend joy as good for the soul. As one of my special friends teases me, “You’ve read enough of that spiritual stuff, so you ought to know.”

Early last week, however, somebody finally pushed the right button and hacked me off—literally. Some jerk infiltrated my email account and sent out a bogus message that I was in Glasgow, Scotland, and needed money.

Needless to say, the phones at our Posey County News office and at my home rang almost constantly for two days. I want to thank each person who called. Not only did callers alert me to the problem, but they also let me know they cared.

Fortunately, my contacts know I’d never travel to Glasgow, Scotland, or, for that matter, anywhere overseas. Everyone knows my fear of flying and boating means I travel within the U.S. Perhaps someday, I’ll even get to Canada and Mexico.

Gavel Gamut’s Mariano Rivera is the best closing pitcher in history.

He plays for the Yankees so they probably just send him blank checks and he fills in an amount that feels right.

I have never been a Yankee fan or a Yankee hater, but I can relate to those legions of baseball fanatics who firmly assert “Yankee” is only the second word of their true name.

On the other hand, ever since Mickey Mantle escaped the lead mines of northeastern Oklahoma and engaged the game of baseball and the game of life with reckless abandon, the Yankees have been Jake with me.

Each year I have watched as the Yankees near the eighth or ninth inning with a razor thin lead and call on Rivera to face either the heart of their opponent’s lineup or a murderers row of pinch

One thing’s certain: I won’t go anywhere requiring air or water navigation. When

LIVING FOR THE JOURNEY

BY PAM ROBINSON I want to learn about distant lands, I look at picture books.

My husband Jim shares my sentiments, partially. He can swim, so he could be enticed on a luxury cruise.

The one exception to my overseas travel rule happened around 15 years ago when Jim and I flew to China to bring home our daughter Jessica.

Jim and I gritted our teeth then and repeated the mantra in a once-popular self-help book, “Feel the fear, and do it anyway!” Pushing through the fear one time satisfied us.

We still pat ourselves on the back for this success.

More to the point, from my conversations with callers about the unfortunate demise of my email, I discovered I’m not alone. At least five Posey Countians besides me have suffered the same email fate just within the past few

weeks. (I already knew that the same thing happened to a prominent businesswoman in our community last year.)

Like me, these folks may have seen the headlines about computer hackers disrupting the lives of others. When it happens to you, though, the lesson becomes clear: it can happen to anybody linked to the world with a computer.

It is, indeed, a small world, after all.

As a result, I won’t use my new home email address for my work with the Posey County News. I will still allow the subjects of my features the professional courtesy of reviewing their stories before they go to press. Only now, however, I will read their copy over the phone. My Posey County News email, pam@poseycountynews. com, will handle any requests from readers. Otherwise, all news tips, announcements and information, including press releases, should go directly to our news office in New Harmony. Readers may call there at (812) 682-3950 or email news1@poseycountynews.com.

and body directly at the batter. He says nothing. He rarely calls off a catcher’s call.

He does not embarrass his vanquished opponents. He just shuts them down. And he is not a rookie. Age hangs on him, but he does not yield.

Yesterday the Yankee superstar pitcher was doing what many of us wish we were still doing, shaggin’ flies. I and my son, my two brothers, our neighborhood friends and mere passersby have spent hundreds

of hours throwing the ball up, hitting it far into the outfield, chasing it down, catching it and throwing it back in. I am doubtful any of us has ever done anything more satisfying.

I understand the song about the mythical Eddie Roberts who is thirty-four years old and who cannot control his curveball and whose fastball’s lost some speed. As the song by Posey County’s own Randy Pease says, “Maybe I should quit, but that’s a hard thing to admit. I love this game.”

So here we have forty-two year old Mariano Rivera, who would not have to hang up his own cleats, out shaggin’ flies and tearing his ACL. Mariano, I understand and I admire you more than before. For some reason I feel a certain kinship with your situation.

had to do. Just like you said, there’s nothing that you can’t get through if you face it head on and set your mind to it. I did what I had to do.

But as Mother’s Day nears this year, we recently moved.

As we brought things to the new house, I couldn’t help but see the little green suitcase you packed for yourself when you would sit at our front door thinking you could go home. You were unable to communicate intelligible but your little bag was packed.

This week, for the first time, I found the courage to open it.

As tears streamed down my face, I saw that you had packed all the things you felt were essential, even though your mind had been tormented beyond recognition with this terrible Alzheimers. There to my surprise, I found a couple of articles of clothing, a little plastic silverware, a single shoe and sock, a couple of little individual-sized packages of peanut butter, some crackers and…a Bible.

And even now, if you were still around, you would still tell me to visit the family more often and give them all a call now and again. I still don’t do it like I should but that probably comes as no surprise to you. I really haven’t changed all that much. My intentions are good but my follow-through is not great.

Now as I face another Mother’s Day, I realize, just like you always said, there is nothing that you can’t handle if you face it head on. And you had all the right things packed for your trip home. Since I’m sure they celebrate it there, too, Happy Mother’s Day.

Guest Column by State Rep Wendy McNamara Teacher Appreciation Week, May 7-11 Teachers are those that educate, provide knowledge and support children through the most vital years of life. They take on the incredible charge of preparing students for the road ahead.

Teachers are not recognized nearly enough for their daily dedication to youth, but now is a great time to show appreciation. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and I encourage you to thank that special teacher in your life.

Teachers have an impact on the lives of students that is unrivaled by others. They impart the ability to read, write and do arithmetic, but perhaps even more importantly, leave students with long lasting wisdom to propel them forward in their careers and in family life.

Today, May 8, is designated as National Teacher Appreciation Day, so let’s

say thank you. As an educator, the thank you notes I have received over the years have been extremely meaningful. Each time I receive one, it reinforces why I went into education and love the profession. It is incredibly profound and rewarding to know you are making a difference in someone’s life.

Some ideas to say thank you are by having your student write a letter telling their teacher why they are valued. Students could also write their teacher a poem or a story highlighting a favorite memory. Also, check with the schools to see what events are planned. Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) always show support for teachers and many hold luncheons to thank teachers during this week.

The Indiana Statehouse will be celebrating teachers this week, as well. There

was a Kick-off Celebration Monday evening to recognize all of our great Hoosier teachers. While at the Statehouse this past session, we were able to reaffirm our commitment to the Pension Stabilization Fund, which teacher pensions are paid out of.

Working at Early College High School, I see the hard work and dedication of teachers firsthand. I want to give a special thank you to the teachers at my school for their commitment to ensuring each student receives a high quality education.

Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to show gratitude and support for the teachers in the community.

They play a vital role in the lives of students and in improving our community. I look forward to recognizing them through Teacher Appreciation Week.

Bank on Posey to bring services to residents without accounts Elizabeth Baier, Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County, announced that the United Way of Posey County is introducing the Bank On Posey County program which was launched with the first financial education class on April 27, 2012. The Bank On program provides the “unbanked” a safe place to keep their funds, establish financial records and keep more of their money instead of paying high check cashing fees. As they continue

to use traditional banking services, the unbanked will also begin to build a credit file which is the first step in establishing a credit rating.

This will also benefit those who will have to receive funds by electronic deposit.

The Bank On Posey County program brings together local financial institutions and community partners to create improved access to mainstream financial services and financial education. This initiative is being launched with the

support of the United Way of Posey County, Family Matters, and Township Trustees.

The next class is scheduled for Tuesday, May 22, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. at Family Matters, Hedges Central, Room 132, 716 Locust Street, Mt. Vernon. Use Entrance #8 on Eighth Street.

To register or for more information, please contact the United Way of Posey County at 812-838-3637 or Family Matters at 812-8386875.

Carla Schenk grows community pride with Wadesville Farmer’s Market When she left her sales job last year to become a stay-at-home mom, Wadesville’s Carla Schenk transferred her skills and organized the first Wadesville Farmer’s Market. As Market Master, she looks forward to another successful season with the farmer’s market, scheduled to run every Thursday, 3-6 p.m., from May 31 through August 30 in the grassy lot directly across from Subway on Hwy 66.

She has grown community pride with this endeavor as well as brought pride to her role as farmer’s wife.

Indeed, Schenk currently serves also as the secretary for the monthly board meetings of the Posey County Farm Bureau, Inc. From early 2010 until early 2012, she and her

husband Matt were on the state committee for Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers aged 18-35. In their second year, she served as secretary for that state committee as well.

A Warrick County native, Schenk grew up farming with her parents, Bob and Joann Rentschler, just north of Folsomville (near Boonville). She and Matt, a Poseyville native, met during a 4-H trip to Purdue that led to an FFA district competition . . .and to their dating and marriage. She counts five years and one day from the time they started dating on March 7, 1998, until their marriage on March 8, 2003.

Schenk’s modest, immaculate home is all the prettier for her hand-craft-

ed floral wreaths and centerpieces, as eye-catching as the rose bushes she tends outside her front and back porches. She also enjoys scrapbooking, machine embroidery and appliqué, and selling Mary Kay. Of course, she brings good things to the dining table as a result of her vegetable gardening and canning.

During Matt and Carla’s nine years of marriage, time has been good to them. They are the proud parents of two beautiful daughters, Ciara (almost 4) and Mattison (13 months). They enjoy life with Schenk Farms, run by Matt and his parents, Jerry and Linda Schenk. They are parishioners at St. Francis Xavier Church in Poseyville.

VanZant walked four times, while Jevin Redman and Troy Paris each had two hits (one of Paris’ blows was a double). Clay Ford also had two hits, including a double, while Roberts doubled in addition to hitting the first of two home runs for the week.

Bryce Newman had two hits, while Craig Beeson and Trevor Veeck each collected hits. In all, Mount Vernon banged out 15 blows on the evening.

“We should have won that ball game,” Quinzer said. “But we threw that one away.

We really, really did. I should have made pitching changes, I stayed too long, but I thought my guys were going to pull out of there.”

The pitchers let the ball get up, gave up some untimely walks and a pair of hit batsmen led to a cascade of runs for the Knights.

Paris started against Mount Carmel and had an off day, giving up five runs in the first two innings before giving way to Dausmann, who shut down the Aces while his teammates gradually pulled away at the plate.

“They (Mount Carmel) barely got any baserunners (after first two innings),” Quinzer said. “Hank got the win and he threw really, really well.”

The Cats also took advantage of the Aces’ mistakes in the field and multiplied those miscues by hitting the ball well.

VanZant homered in the third inning to help put the Wildcats in front; Roberts hit a bomb later in the game.

The wins gave Mount Vernon a 12-6 record on the season and hopefully some momentum heading into tonight’s game at Jasper. A win there would put the Cats in a tie for first in the Big Eight Conference and would give them a chance to win the title in a tiebreaker.

Babe Ruth to open on Saturday The South Gibson Babe Ruth baseball league will start its 2012 season Saturday, with opening night at Viking Field featuring the traditional first game between North Posey Red and North Posey Black.

Missed foul ball helps do in Lady Wildcats

By Steve Joos Taylor Holzmeyer of the Princeton Lady Tigers hit a pop up two runners on in the bottom of the first inning during Tuesday’s softball game with the Mount Vernon Lady Wildcats.

The ball dripped into foul territory between three Lady Wildcat defenders.

On the next pitch, Holzmeyer belted a threerun homer, giving the Lady Tigers a 4-0 lead.

That proved to be the difference in Tuesday’s softball game, as Princeton got past the Lady Cats 4-2.

“The first inning, we just made some not smart softball moves,” Coach Dave Bell said.

“We had some runners go through us, we had three people converge on a ball and then we backed off so we don’t hit the runner, but if we hit the runner, she’s out. The ball goes foul, I get the umpire to realize the ball went foul and (Holzmeyer) hits the next pitch out of the park for a three-run homer.”

Bell was proud of his team’s efforts in attempting a comeback, adding that the Lady

Wildcats had a number of opportunities to tie the game, but just couldn’t get that big hit, but then again, they should have never been down to begin with.

Defensively, the Lady Wildcats shut the door on Princeton, while pitcher Mckenzie Stratton shut and locked the door, holding the Lady Tigers to just two hits after she was worked over in the top of the first.

The Lady Cats started pecking away at Princeton in the later innings, but once again, had trouble getting the clutch hit, despite making good contact.

Ellie Weilbrenner was stranded after dropping in a one-out single in the top of the fourth, then a leadoff double by the freshman infielder was wasted in the top of the sixth when Katie Tucker lined to second base and two Lady Wildcats fanned. Brittany Wilson singled and went to second to put the tying runs in scoring position with two outs, but Andrea Seifert struck out to end that threat.

In the seventh, Tylyn Tanner singled and

Blazers’ ‘Posey connection’ qualifies for Nationals Vincennes University’s “Posey County connection” continues to excel in their running accomplishments.

Freshmen Hunter Motz of North Posey and Ken Renshaw of Mount Vernon have both qualified for the NJCAA Nationals recently.

Motz qualified at the Bellarmine Classic in Louisville with a personal best time of 9:42 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and

then bettered that mark with a time of 9:41in the NJCAA Regional meet Friday at Toledo, Ohio.

Renshaw was part of VU’s unbeaten 3,200-relay squad.

Both runners will compete in the Nationals, which start May 14 at South Plains, TX. Both runners will finish their freshman year by qualifying in all three running seasons (cross country, indoor and outdoor track).

Amy Seifert reached on an error with two outs, but Weilbrenner fanned, ending the game.

Mount Vernon did break through in the top of the fifth when Wilson singled and was bunted to second by Abby Oden. Madison Denning tapped back to the mound, but back-to-back doubles by Andrea Dick and Tanner pushed a pair of runs across the plate, cutting the deficit in half. Unfortunately for Mount Vernon, Amy Seifert popped up to end the inning.

The loss dropped Mount Vernon to 2-4 in the Big Eight Conference, a major disappointment after the Lady Cats won their first two league games.

“We made some bonehead plays,” Bell said. “We’re smarter than that, we’re better than that and we have to learn that we can’t make those mistakes in the heat of the battle.

We made a nice comeback. We battled, we just didn’t win the way, and we’ve got to be tougher than that.”

The Lady Cats jumped out early and opened the week by routing Gallatin County 19-6 in five innings under the 10-run rule.

“We jumped on them early,” Bell said. “We had good pitching early; in fact, we had good pitching for the whole game. We swing the bats well, which was important, and we played defense.”

Andrea Seifert came off the bench and collected a pair of hits, driving in a pair of runs, while Amy Seifert banged out three hits and drove in two more tallies. Weilbrenner also collected three hits, including two doubles and drove in four runs, as everyone pounded the ball, Bell said.

The Lady Wildcats struck early, plating three runs in the bottom of the first and nine in the bottom of the second to open a 12-0 lead.

A six-run fourth inning salted the game away.

Stratton and Denning combined to blank the Lady Eagles for the first three innings. Amy Seifert pitched an inning of relief to get some experience and was touched for three runs, while reserve hurler Shawna Harmon got in for her first appearance of the season. Gallatin County took advantage of some errors and some early nerves on Harmon’s part to push across three more runs, but the freshman settled down to close things out.

• Tuesday’s loss was the only blemish during a week which saw the Lady Cats take three games, all of them in five innings under the 10-run rule.

In addition to their win over Gallatin County, Mount Vernon routed Bosse 16-5 on Wednesday in Evansville, and then clubbed visiting Tell City Saturday, 17-4.

“We hit the ball well against Bosse and hit the ball real well today (against Tell City),” Bell said. “We pounded out 14 hits (against Tell City) and 12 or 13 against Bosse. We’re seeing the ball really well and hitting the ball really well.”

The Lady Wildcats also took advantage of the other team’s mistakes, Bell added.

Against the Lady Marksmen, that meant running the bases well and taking the extra base when Tell City had trouble with its relay throws.

After taking a 2-0 lead on with two out in the bottom of the first inning on Amy Seifert’s double and consecutive singles by Weilbrenner and Ford, and then seeing Stratton strike out the side in the top of the second rout was on.

Oden led things off with a single in the bottom of the second, then Denning followed with a single and Andrea Dick reached on an error. A ground out brought in Oden with the first of 12 runs which blew the game

open.

A single by Amy Seifert two walks, a pair of passed balls and an error all led to runs before Wilson smacked a triple to right field, scoring Ford and Tucker to make the score 7-0. The Lady Wildcat first baseman scored on a passed ball.

On their second go round (the Lady Cats sent 18 batters to the plate in the bottom of the second), Oden and Ford each singled.

After Dick popped up to the catcher for the second out of the inning, Tanner walked, Amy Seifert beat out a deep grounder to third for her second hit of the inning, driving in two more runs. Weilbrenner singled in another run and a passed ball enabled the Mount Vernon third baseman to score, closing out the offense.

“At the plate, they sit back on the ball and let it come to them,” Bell explained.

“We’ve been talking about that the last couple of days. The slower the ball’s thrown the more patient you have to be and then our base running, we took advantage of that. If they made a mistake or put their head down, we’d take an extra base, so those are things we’ve been talking about, taking advantage of people.”

Tell City put its first two runners on and got back one run in the top of the third, but Seifert snagged a line drive off the bat of McKenzie Hayes and turned that into a double play.

The Lady Cats then salted things away with a three-run fourth inning. Ashleigh Goff singled with one out, and then a series of walks, a passed ball and a dropped fly ball off the bat of Wilson led to the team’s last three runs.

Amy Seifert collected three hits against the Lady Marksmen and drove in two runs, while Weilbrenner had two hits and drove in three. Ford, Oden (who was back after missing two weeks with an illness) and Denning each had two hits.

Getting Oden back helps the team’s depth, Bell said.

“Abby goes one place and somebody else can go someplace else and all of a sudden, we’ve got 10 or 11 or 12 and it really adds to our depth. When we get a lot of people healthy, we can do that, but there for a while we only had 10 people.”

The extra depth enabled Stratton to rest and not worry about hitting, Bell added.

Weilbrenner had two hits, including a double, and drove in three runs against the Lady Bulldogs on Wednesday.

Ford also collected two hits and drove in a pair of runs, while Denning had a pair of hits.

“It seemed like everybody got a hit (at Bosse),” Bell said. “Once again, we took advantage of other people’s mistakes and came out on top.”

Bell hopes that the three wins, along with the close loss at Princeton, will give the team some confidence heading into a much tougher week.

The Lady Wildcat reserves got a game in Saturday afternoon, building an early 10-1 lead before holding off the Lady Marksmen 10-9.

Reidford and O’Neil help Lady Cats sweep the week

By Steve Joos Jenna Reidford and Sara O’neil are very good tennis players.

The second and third singles players for the Mount Vernon Lady Wildcats led the way last week as the girls’ tennis team took all three of their dual meets, including two in the Big Eight Conference, beating Vincennes 3-2 on Tuesday and Boonville 5-0 earlier in the week.

The Lady Cats capped the week beating the second best team in Warrick County by blanking Tecumseh 5-0.

Mount Vernon’s nominee for 106-FM ESPN Radio’s “Athlete of the Week,” Reidford went 3-0 on the week and wrapped things up by showing Tecumseh’s Lacey Wira why she was nominated, winning 6-1, 6-0.

O’Neil hasn’t been nominated for any radio awards, but she’s been just as effective on the courts. Against the Lady Braves, she won her third match of the week with a 6-0, 6-0 triumph over Kayla Bennett. O’Neil blanked her opponent in five of six sets while going 3-0 on the week.

The second doubles team of Hayley Salaman and Zoe Burkhart also won each of their matches, capping the week with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Tecumseh’s Abby Prestly and A.J. Fischer.

Audrey Summers and Lixivia Hopper also hauled the whitewash at first doubles, posting a 6-0, 6-0 win over Riley Ubelhor and Ruth Bruce, while Claire Schroeder got nicked a bit before beating Kaylee Hill 6-0, 6-1 at first singles.

On Tuesday, Mount Vernon traveled to Vincennes—and came away with a 3-2 victory.

The Lady Cats conceded the top spots in doubles and singles, as Colleen O’Rourke posted a 6-3, 6-2 decision over Claire Schroeder at first singles and the Lady Alice first doubles pair of Kyle Tramelley and Anna Donovan topped Summers and Hopper 6-2, 6-0, but the rest of the match belonged to Mount Vernon.

At second singles, Reidford was a 6-0, 6-0 winner over Courtney Klein, while O’Neil was a 6-2, 6-0 winner over Jamalyn Dee at third singles. Salaman and Burkhart nailed things down with a 6-2, 6-1 victory over Brooke Klein and Kellen Radcliff.

The Lady Wildcats’ week started with a 5-0 win over the Lady Pioneers at Boonville.

Mount Vernon also seemed to make quick work of the Lady Pioneers, as everyone by first doubles won by comfortable margins.

That’s where Hopper and Summers registered a 6-1, 6-4 decision over Haley Baker

Schroeder topped Kendra Hart 6-0, 6-1 at first singles, while Elaine Adkins by a similar score at second singles. O’Neil posted a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Paige Bates at third

singles. It was more like 6-1, 6-0 at second doubles, where Salaman and Burkhart topped Maddy Brown and Marissa Ress.

The Lady Wildcat reserves topped Boonville 4-2 in their meet.

Werry, double winners give Lady Vikings a win Viking softball getting in form for sections

Emma Werry plus three double winners equaled a very good day for the North Posey girls’ track team last week.

Werry won three individual events and ran a leg on the blue ribbon winning 1,600-meter relay team as the Lady Vikings rolled over visiting South Spencer 86-24, winning the long jump with a 13foot, nine and one-half inch leap, as well as both hurdle races. She ran the 100-high hurdles in :17.82 and posted a time of :52.98 in the 300-intermeidates.

She also teamed up with Tylie Robertson, Mckenzie Orlik and Megan Bender to run the 1,600-meter relay in a time of 5:22.

Bender was one of that quartet of double winners, taking the 400-meters in 1:03.54, and the 100-dash in :13.37, going 1-2 with Orlik in both races. If that wasn’t enough, she, Jessica Smith and Olivia Goebel teamed with Robertson to win the 400-relay (:57.80).

Smith was another double winner, taking the 1,600-run in 7:03, and the 800 in 3:07. Caitlin Herrmann rounded out the parade of multiple blue ribbon winners by throwing the shot put 30 feet, 10 inches and then flinging the discus 86 feet, six inches.

Goebel and Orlik also brought home blue ribbons, with Goebel claiming the 3,200-meters (12:18) and Orlik the 200 (:28.90), while a time of 14:09.04 in the 3,200 gave the Lady Cats a sweep of the relays.

Mainstays Mitchell Kuhn and Kurt Seibert contributed to the effort, Kuhn by winning the 400 (:53.04) and Seibert with a discus throw that came a half-inch short of 121 feet.

The Vikings also got points from some other places, most notably the distance races, where Mitchell Heldt took both the 1,600 (5:21) and the 800 (2:23), while Shane Martin posted a time of 12:11.9 to win the 3,200run.

By Dave Pearce The wheels seem to have fallen off the North Posey High School girls’ softball team. But despite struggling in an area where they were strongest earlier in the year, Viking Coach Gary Gentil said he has seen all year what his team is capable of, offensively, and is glad there is time left for his team to get back into form before the sectional.

This week, the Vikings lost two games. In the first game, a conference game at Southridge, the Vikings were leading 1-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning but the Lady Raiders found a way to put the Lady Vikings away.

At Southridge, the run came in the person of Megan Redman, who got on base with a single and moved over on a Jordan Wassmer singled, as well. A long fly ball moved the runners over before Redman scored on an error.

In the week’s other game, the Lady Vikes again struggled to produce offense and came up on the short end of a 9-1 score.

“We battled for a while at

MVHS free Physical night set for May 16 Each year I.H.S.A.A. regulates high school athletes to have a physical exam, insurance waiver and disclosure form on file in the athletic office. No high school student athlete will be allowed to try out, condition or participate in any sport unless the required forms have been turned in and properly completed.

The annual Mount Vernon High School FREE Athletic Physical Exam Night has been set for Wednesday, May 16, 2012.

THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP DATE. This exam is made possible through the cooperation of doctors and nurses from our community who volunteer their services to our athletic program. Students who are planning to participate in any JUNIOR HIGH OR HIGH SCHOOL sport during the 2012-2013 school year should make every effort to be present on the above date.

Incoming 7th and 8th grade athletes will be examined beginning at 6:00 p.m. and next school year high school athletes will be examined beginning at 6:30 p.m. based on the following alphabetical order: A - F 6:30 p.m.

Vincennes but then the wheels came off in the bottom of the fifth inning and we wound up losing 9-1,” Gentil said. “They had some pretty good hits but we had four errors and that was just the big back-breaker trying to stay with them.”

But the area where the Lady Vikings were suspect early in the year because of lack of experience, they played well.

“Ashley Schoor pitched a complete game against Southridge but they got three hits in the seventh inning and that’s how they beat us,” Gentil said.

“They got a base hit and then we had a passed ball and the runner moved over to second.

Then they a long fly ball and the runner advanced to third before we gave up back-toback base hits.”

But at Vincennes, it appeared the Lady Vikings could overcome their lack of offense but committing four errors does little for your confidence and the Alices took advantage.

Amy Brandenstein went 2-for-3 at Vincennes and she led off the third with a single.

She was sacrificed to second before a double by Morgan Stierley accounted for the team’s only run.

“We have to get back to hitting the ball solid,” Gentil said. “We’ve been having a lot of 1-2-3 innings with pop flies. We have to get our confidence back. There are a lot of games in a short season but we will get it going again this week. They had a good practice Friday so maybe that’s a sign of good things to come.”

Despite the two losses, Gentil believes in his team and has no doubt that games at home this week on Tuesday against Pike Central and on Friday against Wood Memorial could be just what the doctor ordered to get the Lady Vikings back on the right track.

Top rounds lift link Vikings With the conference and Sectional meets coming up, high school golfers have to be nearing their peak performances.

That was the case for the North Posey linksters as they picked up their second win of the season last week.

Jamie Esterling and Ty Stock posted their best rounds Tuesday as the Vikings shut down Tecumseh 199-226 at the Boonville Country Club.

Esterling shot a 42 and Stock a 43 to pace North Posey, whose top two came in five strokes ahead of Tecumsehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low man, Jason Gowers (48). Esterling made 16 putts and Stock 15 as the Vikings tried to work on their short game.

Darren Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Risky carded a 52 and Chase Wildeman a 62 to round out the Viking foursome.

Things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out as well when North Posey Mt. Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Andrew Higgins watches as his putt rolls towards the hole in golf ac- returned to Cambridge for a Friday triangular with tion against Central. Picture by Dave Koch

Princeton and South Knox, as the Vikings came in third with a score of 218, well behind the Tigers, who carded a 169 and the Spartans, who came in with a 188.

Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ira McGill shot a 40 to earn medalist

honors.

The first meet was North Poseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first since the Carmi Invitational on April 21. A meet at Southridge scheduled for Wednesday was cancelled. A dual meet with Tecumseh on April 27 was called off due to rain.

Wildcats team up for third in Warrick invite The medalist was on the tenth-place team, the third lowest score was on the fourth place team and the fourth lowest belonged to Trevor Grant of the Mount Vernon Wildcats.

Trevor Grant, who shot a 72 and had enough help from his teammates to give the Cats a third place finish in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warrick County Invitational boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; golf tournament.

On a day when it seemed like the best foursomes were the more consistent ones as a group, the Wildcats werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t behind too many of them, shooting a team score of 320 to capture third place at Newburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quail Crossing Golf Course, three shots in back of second-place Reitz (317).

Grant was the only Cat under 80 on the day, while the entire Patriot scoring foursome broke 80, as well as three of four Reitz linksters.

Brandon Lauderdale was second on the team with an 81, while Mitchell Jackson carded an 83 and Todd Scheffer an 84.

Not bad, compared to some of the rest of the teams there, but the Pan-

thers and overall champion Heritage Hills (290) had more golfers shooting in the 70s, which may have been the big difference.

Nobody was spelling team with an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;? at Quail Crossing Saturday, as the individual medalist (Dylan Mayer of Central) was on the tenth-place team (despite Mayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 66, the Bears shot 369 as a team and came in five strokes behind Day School and Signature, which tied for eighth with 364).

Heritage Hills did have the second best individual in Nick Tedford (67) and three other golfers under 80, which was one reason why they dominated the meet.

Travis Wanninger and Cody VanWinkle each carded 73s, while Preston VanWinkle shot a 79 to help the Patriots to an easy win. Three Reitz golfers (Logan Hurt, Wes Boarman and Devin Garrett) each broke 80 and that enabled the Panthers to nose out the Wildcats for second place.

Andrew Higgins carded an 87 to round out the Mount Vernon contingent.

Kyle Seitz pf Mater Dei was third in the individual standings with a 71, but only one of his teammates broke 90 and the Evansville school posted a score of 337 to finish in fourth place behind Mount Vernon and a stroke ahead of fifth-place South Spencer (338). Princeton (345) and Gibson Southern (359) finished 5-6 on the day. Rounding out the field were Boonville (377), Bosse (406), Tell City (412) and Tecumseh (464).

Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meet at Rolling Hills was a close one, with the homestanding Castle Knights able to pull out a 159-166 victory over the Cats.

Mount Vernonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scores werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that badâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jackson and Higgins each carded 41s to lead a balanced Wildcat packâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome an equally tight Castle contingent (on the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home course) paced by medalist Scott Weaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 37. James Titzer and Grant Saylor each shot 40s as three Castle golfers came in ahead of Jackson and Higgins. Scheffer and Grant each carded 42s to close out the Mount Vernon foursome.

Bobcats overwhelm junior high Vikings The North Posey Junior High School track teams pulled out a pair of wins in their recent triangular meets with South Spencer and Tecumseh.

Their dual meet with Mount Vernon?

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask.

The Bobcats dominated both of their recent meets at North Posey, winning the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contest 75-29, while the girls posted a 6432 decision.

North Posey edged South Spencer in their triangular, winning the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meet with 56 points and the girls with 57, compared to 51 and 53 respectively for the Mount Vernon teams.

Tecumseh was third in each meet with 21 points in the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meet and 16 in the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.
