By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon native Mike Roach says “being free” is the best part of his job as a letter carrier for the United States Postal Service. Once he hired on in April 1985, he spent his first one-and-onehalf years as a swing carrier in Mount Vernon, walking a different route each day on co-workers’ scheduled days off or their vacations. Since then, he’s walked his own route, winding down East Fourth to McDonald’s, then over the neighborhoods to Davis Drive. He has averaged walking eight miles a day in the great outdoors during the 25 years he’s been on the job. As is often said, freedom carries a price. For Roach, it means, of course, weathering rain or hail, sleet or snow, heat or cold (although his work ends well before gloom of night). He prefers cold to heat and plans a vacation in August to avoid working at least some of the hot, humid days here. More importantly, Roach has paid for his freedom by serving his country. He deferred his child-

hood dream of becoming a letter carrier until after his three-year Army tour immediately following his graduation from Mount Vernon High School in 1968. One of those three years he fought with the First Infantry Division in the Vietnam War and survived a wound from a bomb attack during a bunker search mission. His dream was deferred several more years once he returned to the States and adjusted to civilian life again. Roach was deeply moved by his visit to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. in the early 1990s and by his two visits to the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall—one of those visits just this past weekend in Mount Vernon. He is as loyal to the postal service as he was to the Army and believes wholeheartedly in his role as public servant. Roach pulls out a 1985 poster to express his deep pride and satisfaction in being a letter carrier. The poster depicts the letter carrier as “carrier of love and sympathy, messenger of

Bill and Muriel Gillenwater, Bob and Sandy Seitz, and Barry and Kay Cox share a table during the United Way Leadership Giving Dinner held at Mount Vernon High School cafeteria this week. Photo by Dave Pearce Church, St. Matthew Church of Mount Vernon and Holy Angels Church of New Harmony, Steve Bennett, United Way President, introduced the other officers and members of the Board of Directors of the United Way of Posey County. They are Keith Spurgeon, First Vice-President; John Wood, Second Vice-President; Niall McConville, Treasurer; Staci Reese, Secretary; and Board of Directors Members Paul Allison; Kenyon Bailey; Pat Beckgerd; Grant Beloat; Wayne Games; Bill Gillenwater; Michelle Hudson; Todd Jackson; Phyllis Johnson; Glen Kuper; Connie Marvel; Dan Ritter; Lindsay Schmitt; Scott Strickland; Fran Thoele; Tom Verkamp: Larry Williams; and Aaron Wilson. Elizabeth Baier has served as Executive Director since 1982. Rhonda Wolf was also recognized for her help. Keith Spurgeon, John Wood, Jeff Pickrell, Elizabeth Baier, Don Baier and Rhonda Wolf were recognized for their help with the evening. Past-Presidents of the United Way of Posey County Walt Brunton; Wayne Games; Bill Gillenwater; Michelle Hudson; David Givens; Larry Williams; Tom Verkamp; and Dan Ritter were also recognized. Keith Spurgeon, this year’s campaign chairperson, said that the Leadership Givers were vital in helping the United Way of Posey County raise over $616,000 in last fall’s campaign. He said this year’s campaign will kick off on September 16 at 8 a.m. at the Alexandrian Public Library in Mount Vernon at a breakfast sponsored by Old National Bank and everyone is invited. Guest speaker will be Leigh Ann Latshaw of MSD Mount Vernon. More than 130 volunteers will work throughout the United Way campaign to raise this year’s goal of $620,000. Keith Spurgeon noted that there are 21 agencies that provide services to Posey County people this year who received United Way of Posey County funds including Albion Fellows Bacon Center, American Red Cross – Posey County Chapter, Buffalo Trace Council – Boy Scouts of America, Catholic Charities, Children’s Learning Center of Posey County, Christian Church Day Care Center, Community Emergency Assistance, ECHO Community Health Care, Family Matters, Homeless Shelter of Mount Vernon, Indiana Legal Services, Lampion Center, Mental Health America, New Harmony Ministry Association, Posey County Council on Aging, Posey County Rehabilitation Services, Rehabilitation Center, Salvation Army, Visiting Nurse Association of Southwestern Indiana, WNIN Radio Reading Service and Willow Tree of Posey County. Last year over 20,000 Posey County residents used the services of at least one of these agencies. Spurgeon mentioned that Posey County Co-op, Cargill, CGB, Vectren, St. Wendel School, St. Philip School, St. Matthew School, and all three school systems, MSD Mount Vernon, New Harmony School and MSD North Posey, are Pacesetters this year, running their United Way campaign early to get the drive off to a good start. He said “We can make the goal and do better.” Michelle Hudson introduced the winner of the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award, Johnathan Bradford, and explained that the Award had been started in 2007 to honor Elizabeth D. Baier’s 25th anniversary as Executive Director of the United Way of Posey County. The Award recognizes an incoming high school senior who resides in Posey County for outstanding leadership, volunteerism, and community involvement. Johnathan Bradford, a senior at Mount Vernon High School and son of Ron and Cookie Bradford, spoke of his volunteer activities and how much he gains from it. He will be an ambassador for the United Way of Posey County among her peers and throughout the community for the next year. Executive Director Elizabeth Baier told the Leadership Givers that their support was making a difference in our community, and about the look in a person’s eyes when they talk about using the services of a United Way agency to make a difference in their lives. She said, “I see the warmth, the smile, the pride, the tears, the success, and that’s what
motivates me to be a leadership giver and to put my time here.” Baier said that this is a time to care for one another, for each other and for our community. She asked everyone to continue their generous support, saying “Posey County needs your help.” Individuals using the services of local United Way agencies including the Posey County Chapter of the American Red Cross, Boy Scouts Buffalo Trace Council, and the Posey County Rehabilitation Services spoke of the importance of having the programs and services available and the impact that these programs and services make on people’s lives. One speaker used the services of the local Red Cross during his 21 years of military service and again in the last year to get an emergency message to his son who is serving in the military. He said he was proud of the United Way and the way it supports Posey County, adding “This community helps so many people.” The 16-year old high school junior and Eagle Scout said he had learned leadership skills through Scouting, made lifelong friendships, and met many wonderful people. He said that the United Way of Posey County helps to get Scouting and its benefits to children all over Posey County who can benefit from it. The mother of an adult daughter who is a client of Posey County Rehabilitation Services said her daughter is learning her abilities, not just her disabilities and is able to take a productive role in society. She said “There is a place for people with disabilities in this community.” The featured speaker of the event was Dr. Linda Bennett, president of the University of Southern Indiana. She said that America was a nation of people who volunteer, reach out to others, and give to charity. She noted that on any given day there are more acts of organized and spontaneous kindness than of any criminal acts and that these acts of kindness lift us up and enliven us. She told all those who volunteer their time and resources, “What you do is important. It’s building a strong community and we need that.” Steve Bennett said that Posey County has always been a very generous community, and Keith Spurgeon asked everyone to “Give again and give a little more.” Leadership Givers from the 2009 United Way Campaign are: Petroleum Level – Donald and Elizabeth Baier, Rodney and Lynn Clark, Doug Debelak, Wayne Games, Bill and Muriel Gillenwater, Mike and Rev.

OPINION
It was a perfect birthday, even if it wasn’t mine It is birthday month around the Pearce house. And this one was a special one for my wife. She joined me in the 50-and-over category on Sunday but believe me, it wasn’t without its fanfare. Birthdays don’t seem to be TRUTH... such a special occasion any STRANGER more, especially when you THAN have had as many of them as FICTION I have. It seems like that they BY DAVE were a lot more special when PEARCE you are young and maybe a few more years down the road they will become special again, just to see how many of them you can live through. Connie, Eric, and I take care of the entire birthday thing in the first two weeks of September. This year was a special year for Eric as he hit 25 on September 1 and his mother doubled that just four days later, hitting 50 on Sunday. Mine comes up later this week but I’ve already passed most of the big milestones. But for Connie, this had to be one of the most special birthdays she has ever had. We decided several years ago not to buy each other expensive gifts on birthdays any more because if there is something we actually need, we both pretty much have the green light to go ahead out and buy it.
For years, since Eric’s birthday came on the first day of the month, most of the parties and celebrations were for him. It was great from him and for me because he was young and loved the limelight and I was getting older and didn’t really want to have to deal with all the hoopla surrounding a birthday. Connie was in the middle, not quite as old as me. But as I said, this was probably the birthday she will remember more than any other. It won’t necessarily be because it was her 50th but rather because it was everything that she enjoys. She spent time with family and friends and that’s really what life is all about for her. First of all, she took two days off from work for vacation and enjoyed the first one by getting some chores caught up around the house. Then on Friday, she met up with her niece, who ironically turned six on Saturday, and the two of them went to the nail shop. I’ve never really been to the nail shop but on Sunday afternoon at little Sydney’s party, I got a little taste of it. Remembering back, Sydney is a little like Eric was when he was younger. If it was football season, Eric could always be found in a
football jersey. If it was basketball season, a basketball jersey. In the summer, it was baseball. But for Sydney on Sunday afternoon, she became “Cory the nail girl.” Each member of the family had to “sign the book” and Sydney called the name of the next client to have their nails done. She even created her own cart and had all the supplies, all the way down to the rubber gloves. She was quite the center of attention pricing out her services all the way down to a pedicure for Uncle Dave. That would be $100 just because his feet are so big, she said. But back to Friday. Connie and Sydney met Eric in Evansville and they enjoyed a lunch together. She got to be with Eric and Sydney at a single setting and that proved to be a big joy. On Saturday, her friend Karen asked her out for lunch and she is always in a good mood when she has been with Karen. Then on Saturday evening, I took off an hour early from my Henderson job to meet Connie, Rosie, Roger, Judy, Jim, and Marcene in Evansville for an Italian meal. The food was good but the company was even better. But late Saturday evening once all the noise had cleared, Connie realized she had taken the next step in her life. You see, while Eric was home this time, just a day after his 25th birth-
day, my wife realized that maybe it was time to let him grow up…to let him find his own way with minimal supervision for awhile. After all, he lives near Lexington and has his own place and his own job. It is a move I believe will benefit the both of them. In the long run, I think it will bring them closer together because they will learn to appreciate each other more, just as parents and children often do. The week-long 50th birthday celebration concluded on Sunday evening when we went to church. A few “new” friends there had decided to throw her a little 50th birthday bash. At the end of the evening, she was both humbled and grateful for everything everyone had done to make this birthday a special one, as was I. Seeing my wife enjoying her family and friends was very special for me. Nothing we did cost a whole lot of money. Nothing we did took tons of time. But the combination of a little money, a little time, and a little togetherness seemed to be just what the doctor ordered. It far exceeded the “Past, Present, and Future” tanzanite jewelry that I had bought during a cruise last year and we had kept for this special occasion. It just helped me realize there are some things that are better than gold…friends and family.
Meeting people is just part of the job... the best part “I’ll bet you meet a lot of characters on the job,” several people have remarked. In fact, I have met my share of characters— Posey people with character, that is. FOR THE A few of the characters are widely recognized RECORD across Posey County. You’re sure to have met, or at least BY PAM have heard about, these fine ROBINSON folks also. Santa has stopped by any number of homes and businesses in Posey County, thanks to his enduring friendship with St. Philip resident David Belcher. River Days wouldn’t be the same without
the appearance of Gov. and Mrs. Alvin P. Hovey, the faithful rendering of Jerry and Marsha King. Of course, enchantment goes along with Dr. Keith Spurgeon, our resident Merlin the Magician. When I followed the Mount Vernon Marching Wildcats to Disney World, I met many beloved characters, chief among them, Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Standing out in a crowd also are several of those featured as Good Neighbor of the Week. They may influence policy decisions in school or local government, like North
Letters to the Editor New Harmony grateful for Dr. Rapp’s services The last day for Doctor Kyle Rapp in his office in New Harmony was September First. The reason for this was the fact that all the medical records have to be entered in the computer system, and they are unable to here at the local office. Linda Warren, Karen Walker and I gave him a going away
get-together for his friends and patients at the office. We did all this to let him know that we appreciate him for the last four years. I would like to thank Linda and Karen for their help also. He will truly be missed. Betty Barnett
Posey School Superintendent Todd Camp or Mount Vernon City Councilwoman Becky Higgins. Or they may serve as professional volunteers like Phyllis Alspaugh, Randy and Cindy Owens, David and Judy Whitten, Keith Kuhn, Jr., Tom Smith and, again, Councilwoman Becky Higgins. As often as not, though, my favorite characters are unsung heroes. Many a Good Neighbor of the Week prefers to disappear into a crowd and work behind the scenes. Cloverleaf’s Dodie Flewellan, for example, brightens the days for many with her letters and cards, especially at Christmas. Others work tirelessly in their churches to meet the needs of their neighbors, ministers like Monica Gould and Karen Lipinczyk and laypeople like Phillip and Sally Denning and Martha Scheller. Yet others reveal how friendship depends on availability, and they teach us how to be present to those around
us—Cindy Johnson, Brian and Debbie Isham, Amy Stephens, and the late Ruth Smyth. In interviewing for human interest stories, I’ve witnessed the courage and strength of those faced with adversity, particularly a life-threatening illness. Immediately, Joe Meyer, Vicki Schroeder and Andi Creek come to mind. I’ve been deeply moved by those who triumph in spite of challenges like toddler Hannah Reynolds and teenager Anthony Doty. I’m delighted to always greet someone I know now when I’m in, say, McKim’s IGA in Mount Vernon or the Church Street Coffee House in New Harmony. “How do you know so many people, Mom?” my teenage daughter Jessica asked recently. I smiled and said, “It’s just one of the benefits of my job.” Indeed, meeting Posey people is the best job benefit I’ve ever had.
Thanks for bring the Wall and for the Vet To the Editor: I would like to publicly thank everyone responsible for arranging for the Vietnam War Moving Wall to be brought to Mount Vernon. The entire ceremony Saturday morning was extraordinary. It was nice to have the local American Legion and VFW organizations involved in the proceedings. Bringing attention to the seven young service men from Posey County who died in Vietnam meant a great deal to me. One of those young men was a personal friend who was in high school with me at Mater Dei. Looking at those names on those panels and remembering the faces of the ones I trained with and served with makes me think back to the time when they were all young and brave. There were some who were old enough to shoulder a rifle but too young to vote. The 26th Amendment was not ratified until July, 1971. Most were not the least bit interested in politics that was incased in that war. They
Gavel Gamut’s Modern schools of journalism, such as Indiana University’s Ernie Pyle School, would blanch at many of the Nineteenth Century newspapers. When one reads “news” accounts from the 1870’s and 80’s, there is often no difficulty discerning the politics and philosophies of the “reporters” and editors. And while it might cause pause in a contemporary debate of journalistic ethics, I find comfort in knowing the true agenda of the person behind a news account, or even a newspaper column. I submit the only real difference between what we decry as yellow journalism and “fair and balanced” national media outlets is one is honestly biased and the other is disingenuous. Now, whether I am correct or just skeptical and misinformed, is irrelevant to our discussion of the news accounts of the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the murder of Eva Redman and the lynching of her husband and murderer, Hume Redman, in October 1882.
were just fine young Americans who served as honorable as those from the Revolutionary War and all the wars up through the years. As was pointed out at the ceremony Saturday the Vietnam veterans did not come back to ticker tape parades, but instead came back to sometimes unfriendly encounters. I remember the hard looks I got sitting in a bus depot in St. Louis waiting to catch a ride home to see my family and my fiancé which I hadn’t seen in a over a year. I served with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam and am proud of it. All of America’s veterans have earned a certain place of recognition and no matter what debates are raised in the classrooms or street corners about the wars they fought, keep in mind they paid the price, some more that others and have never asked for reimbursement. God Bless the Veterans, Jim Tomes, Commander of Wadesville VFW Post 6576 9412 Hwy 66 Wadesville, IN 47638
“Non-Apathetic”
Perhaps I should just quote from the Mt. Vernon Democrat of that day and let the conclusions fall as they
GAVEL GAMUT BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE may. Let’s start with the political views of the editor, Albert A. Sparks, who took great umbrage at those persons who faulted the actions of the Democratic candidate for sheriff. First, Editor Sparks left no doubt as to his political affiliation: “Every Democrat to his post. Advocate the true principles of Democracy, that you have always held sacred. Keep your eye upon the enemy, and with a strict organization in every township in the county, old Posey will roll up an immense Democratic majority in November.” As for the deputy sheriff, later sheriff, Edward Hayes, Editor Sparks let the naysay-

ers have it: “We understand that there are numerous rumors afloat as to the conduct of the Democratic candidate for Sheriff, Mr. Ed. S. Hayes, on last Saturday night. The silly story that he gave or offered to give Hume Redman a pistol with which to defend himself, upon the authority both of Mr. Hayes and Mr. James L. Caborn, we brand as a MALICIOUS LIE. …. As for the DEMOCRAT, it only sees in the occurrences of last Saturday night an additional reason why Mr. Hayes should be elected Sheriff, being more than ever satisfied that he will make a fair, impartial and trustworthy officer.” If you are available next week, perhaps we may discuss the actions of the lynch mob and those opposed to it. Also, there may be reason to compare and contrast the actions and motivations of the October 1882 lynch mob and legal system with those of the lynch mob and legal system only four years earlier in October 1878.
Home Country “My ancestors fished this creek when it was a mud puddle,” said Bert, putting his fly rod to one side and pulling a sandwich out of the lunch bag. “Wonder if they had any better luck than I did this morning.” “The way to look at it,” said Doc, trying to look wise, “is since they obviously lived long enough to have progeny, they must have been decent Lewis Creek fishermen.” “That in itself is a miracle, Doc,” Bert said. “because Joe Herring, on my mother’s side, was so dumb he once stole the sheriff’s horse.” Dud Campbell almost became part of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the laughter that followed. Doc choked on his coffee. Bert, looking a bit embarrassed, put some more sticks on the small campfire. “Don’t feel bad, Bert,” Dud said. “We all have an-

Area cousins publish first book Leigh Gray and Heather Hargis are first cousins, who—while sharing a family history and passion for their faith—have taken what could appear to be opposite life paths. Gray is a married mother of four who has lived in many states, while Hargis is a single woman who spent two years in New York City before returning to her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. Together, they are the authors of “Loving God, Loving People: Living Out the Vertical in a Horizontal World.” According to the book, every person we encoun-
ter, whether it’s the far and away grocery store clerk or an up close and personal best friend, has the chance to see God through us. But are we living close enough to God for his image to show up in our reflection? Between the cousin authors, Gray and Hargis’ common history and very different life experiences make for an innovative marriage of thought and full spectrum of insight on relationships— both with God and those in their lives. The book looks at chance interactions, friends that help and those that hinder, how to
cope when God seems distant, and how to get the most out of close encounters with him. Complete with discussion questions for study groups, relatable examples, and biblical references, Gray and Hargis will have readers loving God and loving people in a new God-centered way. Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available at any bookstore nationwide or can be ordered through the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/ bookstore or by visiting barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com or target.com.
Sermon of the week: Learning from Mary’s example and God’s grace By the Revernd Sean Esterline of Messiah Lutheran Church (Please get out your Bibles and read Luke 1:46-55, Mary's Song of Praise—it'll help set the scene for what you're about to read.) You may not know this, but many Christian churches around the world had a celebration on Sunday the 15th—they celebrated the Feast of St. Mary, the Mother of Our Lord. These days I think we tend to turn a blind eye to the saints, because we don’t want to seem like we're “worshiping” them instead of God. This also means, though, that we don’t have the opportunity to learn from their examples. We can’t look to them as model Christians, people we can pattern our own lives after, if we don’t know them anymore. If we ignore
St. Mary the Mother of our Lord—if we don’t examine her situation and her life— then we will miss out on one of the key elements of our Christian faith. The point of Mary and her Magnificat—and this is an important point when it comes to the Gospel and how God gives His gifts to us—the point is: It’s all about God’s grace. God bestows His gifts on us sinners. He forgives our sins. He draws us into His holy kingdom in the waters of baptism. All of this is done purely by grace, without any merit or worthiness in us. God chose Mary for the same reason that God has done anything with the human race, including anything with you and me. His grace. God chose Mary out of His grace. Mary did not deserve to be the mother of Jesus, any more than any
other young woman. Mary didn't have any "qualities" that caused God to notice her. No, God simply chose her. We can see this truth most obviously in the Song of Mary, the Magnificat. The song begins with the familiar words,“My soul magnifies the Lord.” She's praising God, but at that point, her song's really not about her at all. Mary’s song tells us about God and what He does for us in our lives. Knowing the sinful condition of all human beings, she calls Him her Savior, she remembers that God blesses her. He viewed her lowly estate. He shows strength with His arm, He scatters the proud, He lifts us up. The Song of Mary isn't about Mary at all! It's all about God and what God does for His children. Mary faithfully responded to God's choice
with "I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me as you have said" (Luke 1:38) Mary had several options. She could have rejected the choice, and said, "Oh, no, God, what you are asking is just too much!" She could have become proud and bragged about what had happened to her. But it was all God's doing, so her response is simply to "magnify" (or “make large”) the Lord. Unfortunately we don’t always respond like Mary did. A lot of the time, we try to do the opposite, don't we? Even when we accomplish things by the power of God, we want to take the credit. That's not how it works though, in fact Mary says, “He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their
thrones. “ The sad truth is that we often fail to see God’s hand, His mighty arm, working things out in spite of our sin. Our loving God works miracles in our lives despite our meager efforts—not because of them. What so many Christians utterly misunderstand is that simple Gospel: Ultimately your salvation is not about you and your works, your piety, your acts of love and charity toward your neighbor, as important as those all are! It’s really all about God’s grace, His mercy toward you and me and His whole church. In fact, in ancient Christian theology, Mary is often considered a “type”— a “picture”—of the Christian Church. Mary’s faith, which God gave to her, pointed her toward God’s mercy and His love toward a fallen and sin-
sick world. That's God’s love toward you today too! We see that love given to Mary in the form of her Son. Jesus Christ came down from heaven and was “incarnate of the Holy Spirit by the Virgin Mary”— He came into our lives, our flesh and blood. And by His perfect life, you now have life in His name. That is the treasure that God gives to you through His Word. Trust in Jesus, the Son of Mary, for your life, for your hope and your future. Through His birth, life, death, and resurrection, all your sins have been forgiven, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Rev. Sean Esterline, Messiah Lutheran Church (812) 985-2278. 7700 Middle Mount Vernon Road, Evansville, IN 47711
Sermon of the Week: The price of religious freedom By: Pastor Lee Brown of North Posey Community Church Lately in the news we’ve been hearing the story of the mosque that is being built just a few blocks from the site of the World Trade Center terrorist attack. Now I will just go ahead and say what everyone is thinking: this is not an example of America’s overwhelming love of religious freedom, (try putting a nativity scene within 200 miles of a government building and see how freedom-loving we actually are). No, this is Islam’s way of celebrating a victory and rubbing our noses in it. I am not so naïve and gullible as to believe that this is the first step toward allowing Christmas carols to be sung at public schools, crosses on the side of the road, prayer before ballgames, or spontaneous outbursts of radical Islamists and Americans together singing Lean on Me, (mythical separation of church and
state argument in 3...2...1...). Rather, this is one more glaring example of how our love for religious freedom is actually destroying Christianity in America. In our Wednesday night Men’s group, the subject of the mosque was brought-up and the general consensus among all the men was that the building of the mosque was something that needed to be supported. Now, we all understood why they were doing this and we all felt the disgust that many Americans feel. However, our support was based solely on the fact that we did not want the government to tell us whether or not we could or could not build religious buildings in certain spots, (yet we all remembered how a whole neighborhood turned out to oppose our proposed building site just a over a year ago…oh, the irony). But on the way home, I got that overwhelming sense of dread that I feel when I’m not

on the same page as God, (and that is a bad page to be on). It became painfully aware to me that I value religious freedom more than I do biblical truth. In other words, if you leave me alone, I will leave you alone for the sake of religious freedom, (even if you worship Elmo and cover yourself in molasses as part of your religious experience). If I have to water-down my beliefs in order to not draw attention to myself, then that is a small price to pay for freedom to worship in blue jeans. On the surface, this all sounds well and good and perfectly PC, (that’s politically correct for those of you that worship Elmo). The only problem, (and it is a big one), is that no one checked with God to see if religious freedom was at the top of His “things-I -wish-I-had-created” list. Ask yourself this question: Is religious freedom more important to God than adherence to His Word? Unless you failed Sunday School, your obvious response would be “no.” Would you say then that it would be more honoring to God if we suffered religious persecution for the sake of the truthfulness of God’s Word? Your answer would probably be a reluctant “yes.” But one man’s freedom is another man’s tolerance. As the church relishes its freedom, it is slowly being stripped of that freedom in the name of religious tolerance. If you have strong convictions about a certain subject and someone else has opinions that are the polar opposite of yours, one of three things must happen. Either you “agree to disagree,” or you both compromise or one opinion wins at the expense
of the other. Now the church is at odds with the world, but for some inexplicable reason, we have this overwhelming desire for the cool kids to like us. So looking at our above list of options, what do you think happens? Do we “agree to disagree?” (we can’t because, according to the world, we are wrong). Do we reach a compromise? (we can’t because, according to the world, we are wrong). The only thing left if is for one belief to subject itself to the other, and most of the time, that is our Christian beliefs. So in an effort to enforce tolerance, (yet be intolerant), the world forces the church to compromise it’s teachings. And if the church does not want to go peacefully, cars from Homeland Security and the IRS will pull into your parking-lot. So the church drops sound, biblical teaching in exchange for the promise of religious freedom, (until the church does something else that the world doesn’t like). Next time, however, they may want to take something that you will not give up. So maybe it’s time for the church to understand that we will be labeled intolerant, no matter what we teach. So why not embrace the term, even at the cost of our freedom, and conform our churches, not to the image of the world, but the image of Christ. Now we all know that Jesus is love, looks like Ted Nugent and plays with fuzzy bunnies on a regular basis, but one of the things that we fail to understand, (obviously, there are a lot of things that people don’t understand about Jesus), was that He was one of the most intolerant people to ever walk the face of the planet. He
did not say, “I am one of the ways, one of the many truths and one of the many lifestyles. You can come to the Father by many ways, and if you chose me, that is really cool.” He did say, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Talk about your intolerant statement, (among many). Jesus was intolerant of any other way, any other truth, any other life, even to the point of debating others concerning a religious set of practices and principles that had been created and ordained by His Father! Yet today we will compromise whatever we believe so that people will like us. We will sell our soul and sell out our Savior for popularity and acceptance, (even though the vast majority of tolerant Americans will still think of us as knuckle-dragging Neanderthals because of our Christian beliefs). We will bend over backwards for their approval, even though they will still hate us, no matter what we do. But Jesus told us this would happen. In Matthew 5, He said, “blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.” So if people are going to hate me regardless of what I say or do, just because I am a follower of Christ, then why would I sacrifice my belief in the truthfulness of Scripture for the approval of others? In other words, why sacrifice something that I hold dear in order to try to obtain something that is unobtainable. Now, contrary to immediate prejudices, I am not advocating hatred for other religions or philosophies, (even though
that is what some will believe that I am advocating). What I do want is for Christians to feel okay about being a Christian, (you can come out from under your bed now). We can still love, be moved by compassion, seek to minister to others and still be confident and unmovable in what we believe. In our culture, we admire the strongly held convictions of others, even if we think they are totally nuts, (see Al Gore). Yet Christianity is the only belief system where it is actually seen as a defect if you are unwavering in your beliefs and intolerant of other beliefs that directly and purposefully contradict yours. So while the rest of the world never changes their beliefs concerning their religion, (let’s say Global Warming), you are ridiculed and vilified because you won’t change yours, (but yet they are admired for their passion, (see Al Gore) and you are hated). Know that if the world and Christianity ever reach a consensus, it was not the world that did the compromising. So if man’s never-ending quest for utopia at a place called Toleranceville is going to take us down, then why not go down swinging? If their goal is to destroy Christianity as an institution in America, then let’s go down holding on to the truths that many have already died for. Let’s not sacrifice our integrity and the truthfulness of God’s Holy Word at the altar of approval, tolerance and freedom any longer. If we continue down this path of religious freedom at any cost, we run the risk of losing our children, our families, and our country. And that is a price that we should not be willing to pay.

RETROSPECT ‘Wishful’ song chosen theme song for program Indiana singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer has agreed to allow the Indiana Humanities Council to use her song I Wish I May, I Wish I Might as the official theme song for its Food for Thought program. A celebration of Indiana fairs and food festivals, the song demonstrates the way Indiana’s food and culture often are tightly intertwined. The song is from Before & After Newcomer’s latest recording, and used courtesy of Rounder Records. In granting permission for the song’s use, Newcomer wrote, I am delighted to have I Wish I May, I Wish I Might included in the Food for Thought program, which examines and celebrates the ways that food helps to define Indiana’s culture. I am excited that this program considers the context of food in art, ethnicity, science, religion, history, law and politics. I am also proud to be included in a project that encourages Hoosiers to share, sample and learn more about the wonderful diversities of cultures represented right here in Indiana, and addresses the local and global issues of hunger, nutrition, obesity, food
security, safety and the importance of bringing local foods to our daily table. Newcomer added, I Wish I May, I Wish I Might was inspired by the essays Carnival and Bill and Bunny by celebrated Indiana author, Philip Gulley, and that it was originally written for a musical/literary performance featuring both writers. I should mention that most of the names listed in this song are the names of real Indiana county fairs. Carrie is a shining example of the humanities in Indiana, and we are delighted for her to be a part of Food for Thought said Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of the Indiana Humanities Council. Carrie performs all over the U.S., Europe and India and sheds a positive light on our state and its culture. Newcomer was raised in Elkhart, attended Goshen College, earned a degree from Purdue University and now lives in Bloomington. Here are the lyrics to I Wish I May, I Wish I Might Sweet Corn Days in Oakland City, The Apple Fest in Nappanee,The Blueberry Cavalcade,The Sacred Heart Polish Days, Oktoberfest in Rensselaer,

Soybean Fest in Rising Sun, Scarecrow Days in Wanatah, The Bean Blossom Jamboree, Maple Syrup Fest in Wawasee, Popcorn Fair in Versailles, The Mennonite Relief Quilt Sale, A fish fry, gala, holiday, Covered Bridge and Dogwood Days. There'll be fireworks and lemonade, A tractor pull and fine parade. There'll be a gospel jubilee, Right before they crown the Sausage Queen. Bingo games and, polka bands, Arts and crafts made by hand, Pierogies, sweet corn on a stick, Carnival rides think of it, Now I am grown and miles away, From apple nights and limestone days, I wish I may I wish I might, Be at the county fair tonight, The song and full CDs by Carrie Newcomer can be purchased from http:// carrienewcomer.com

Vietnam vet, from Page 1A of friendship, consoler of the lonely, servant of the scattered family, enlarger of the common life.” Indeed, Roach says the people on his route are like family. “The saddest part of my job is watching people get sick and pass on,” he says. “I miss them because I really get attached. This month [August 2010] alone, I’ve lost three.” He is grateful for the people on his route treating him like family also. Their feelings create a mutual admiration society. Not surprisingly, he receives candy and cards at Christmas. Beyond that, when his wife Gale was recovering from an extended medical illness, Roach received support all along his route. “They would ask about her, and they got to know my wife also.” He sums up his experience with postal patrons: “You get to know people, and they get to know you. It’s been great. They’ve treated me well.” A different story emerges about Roach’s
experience with animals, namely dogs and squirrels. “I’ve been bitten several times by dogs,” he admits. “The little guys hurt worse. I was even chased by a squirrel once.” His sense of humor has surely helped him to work with eight postmasters and at least that many supervisors during his 25-year career. It’s helped when customers complain about postal rate increases also. He recalls that stamps cost 22 cents when he set out on his first route in 1985. The Love stamp was the most popular design, with 700 million sold that same year. Roach married his high school sweetheart Gale, a Stewartsville native, soon after he returned from Vietnam. They celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary just this past August. They have two children, a son Michael and a daughter Stephanie, six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Lucky the dog and Spira the cat round out the family. The couple makes their church home at Mount Vernon Church of Christ.

Her first book is a historical fictional novel for young adults. “Best Friends 1860” is a story that takes place in southern Indiana on the banks of the Wabash River between New Harmony and Mount Vernon. The four main characters of the story are Dawn, a thirteen year old free Negro girl, Zane, a sixteen year young man, Rae, also thirteen, and her fourteen year old cousin, Beth who is visiting Rae for the summer in 1860. Beth lives on a plantation just north of Savannah, Georgia. These four become best friends while having lots of

With the help of an Indian named Long Star, the best friends get Stella and her brothers further North to freedom, starting their own branch of the Underground Railroad. This adventure changes all of their lives. Sandy will be having book signings at Barnes and Noble Book Store on Green River Road in Evansville, Indiana on Saturday, September 25 from 2-3:30 p.m. and on Main Street in New Harmony, Indiana during the New Harmony Kunsfest, Saturday, September 18 and Sunday, September 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sandy would love to meet you and have you come and see her new book.

Vikings come away with ‘ugly’ win at Gibson Southern

By Dave Pearce Even an ugly win is better than a loss. That sentence was tossed around quite a bit on Friday night after the North Posey Vikings had completed their “ugly” 2821 win over the homestanding Gibson Southern Titans. The weather was perfect but perfection was far away from the football field. Had the Vikings not had a couple breaks go their way early, the outcome could have been different. However, they did and they didn’t. For the first few minutes of the game, it appeared that it was going to be another one of those one-sided Viking victories as the Vikings marched downfield on the first possession of the game, thanks in part to a big pass play from quarterback Colton Motz to receiver Jared Reidford. But on second and 11 from the Titan 15, a bad snap forced a North Posey turnover on the 24. But the Viking defense stepped up as the Titans lost five, had an incomplete pass, fumbled on a bad snap, recovering on the five, and punted the ball out of bounds at their own 14. The Vikings took over and three plays later Motz hit senior Cameron Calvert in the end zone. Rylan Gentil’s first extra point of the night put the Vikings up 7-0 at the 5:58 mark. On the Titans’ ensuing possession, they gained one, had a pass attempt blocked out of bounds by Calvert, and the quarterback was sacked by Wes Harness and Orry Weiss. On fourth and nine, the Titans were again forced to punt and this time, the punt was blocked by Brandon Baumgart and it took only one play, a pass from Motz to Reidford and the Vikings were up 13-0. Gentil nailed the extra point for a 14-0 lead. Nick Neidig’s ensuing kick-off sailed into the end zone and it appeared the Vikings were in full control. But that’s where it gets tricky. The Titans weren’t buying the control theory with the game still in the first quarter.

many mistakes against a very good Mount Carmel team.” Stemple did his thing for the most part, completing 16 of 29 passes for 255 yards and four touchdowns, while Aaron Straub hauled in six of those passes for 154 yards and three scores. The senior signal-caller was picked off once and the team lost a fumble, while the Golden Aces scored jumped out to a 14-7 halftime lead and a 21-7 bulge early in the third quarter before the Cats could mount a comeback. Both teams made crucial errors on their respective opening drives, with the Cats fumbling on the Aces’ 38-yard line with less than two minutes gone in the game and then Mount Carmel coughing it up on Mount Vernon’s three with 6:19 to go in the opening chapter. After a scoreless first quarter, the Wildcats broke the ice less than two minutes into the second quarter when Stemple found Straub from nine yards out. The first of four Zac Deig extra points put the Wildcats up 7-0 with 10:22 to go in the opening chapter. That lead lasted long enough for Mount Carmel to move down the field in two minutes, highlighted by a 44-yard pass play pick-up and capped by Hale’s 30-yard strike to Shawn Bippus for a touchdown. Pete Condol’s kick knotted things up at 7-7 with 8:07 to go in the second quarter. A bad punt on the ensuing drive gave Mount Carmel the ball on the 50-yard line and went from there to mount a five-minute drive which ended with a one-yard run by Hale on fourth and goal, putting the Aces up at the break 14-7. “We turned the ball over a couple of times tonight, which we have not done,” Maier said. “But that’s part of the game of football. We harp on taking care of the football and we didn’t do that on those occasions.” Maier complimented Mount Carmel, but was quick to add that a team like the Aces will force mistakes that may have been made without repercussions against lesser competition. The 14-7 hole at the intermission turned into a two-touchdown disadvantage when Beau Grant broke away from the defense with 35 second gone in the third quarter and took it to the house for a touchdown. The Condol kick made the score 21-7. After that, Mount Vernon rallied, going 79 yards on their next drive to get back to within a touchdown. Stemple picked up three yards as Mount Vernon converted on fourth down at midfield, the Wildcats’ second such conversion of the night and then capped things off with a 17-yard scoring strike to Straub. Deig’s kick made the score 21-14, but the Aces answered with a drive of their own. This time Condol not only scored the point after, but had the six points before, hauling in a 26-yard pass from Hale with 4:11 left in the game. Stemple needed less than a minute to answer for the Cats, as he found Straub just beyond a Mount Carmel defender. The senior receiver then outran the defense 88

yards for a touchdown, making the score 21-14 on the Deig kick with 3:17 to go. The defense held and the Wildcats proceeded to go on a game-tying scoring drive, but Mount Carmel came back again and after that. The Cats couldn’t hang on to the ball. Maier was also pleased with the way the offensive and defensive lines bounced back in the second half, as the offensive line overcame a first-half beating to pick up the Aces’ blitz and better protect Stemple in the second half. But they still made too many mistakes and weren’t prepared from the start. “We’d hoped that we could get a few defensive stops and that the offense could convert,” the coach said. “That didn’t happen.” Grant led the Aces with 162 yards rushing and a touchdown, while Hale completed 11 of 17 passes for 182 yards and a pair of scores. Mount Carmel’s defense hampered the Wildcats’ ground game, Maier said. The Cats actually had more turnovers (recovering two fumbles and picking off Hale), but they didn’t do a good job of converting, the coach said. Running back Tim Davis went down early with an injury, but Maier expect him back for this week’s game with Vincennes.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2010 • PAGE B13
Wildcats work to regain swagger after pair of blowouts By Steve Joos Liz Castle has been spending the last season working to convince opponents that her girls’ soccer team isn’t “Just Mount Vernon” anymore. She may have to remind the Lady Wildcats of that. The Lady Wildcats were caught off-guard early in Thursday’s game with Gibson Southern, got down early and never recovered, falling to the visiting Lady Titans 6-1, as Katelin Holzmeyer and Emily Ungetheim combined for five goals. “You prepare yourself for games,” Castle said. “This wasn’t absolutely heart-wrenching, like the Princeton game. This were just absolute amazement. I can’t get my mind around it.” It started with a bad kickoff and things went downhill from there, as the first goal bounced off the top of the goal and went in, then a second goal scored as keeper Ellen Searcy came out too far and couldn’t get back in the box, allowing an easy pass and shot to go in. After that, the Titans basically took it to the Lady Wildcats, as Holzmayer booted in three goals and Ungetheim added another two. Gibson Southern held a 3-0 lead at halftime and stuck in another three in the second half. “We didn’t do the things we needed to do,” Castle said. “We were diving like crazy, we were very, very lazy in the middle of the field and we kind of gave up.” The Lady Cats had been doing well, building a 5-1 record into Thursday’s game, but they seemed to just want to get things over and didn’t mark up on Holzmayer well. She scored
three goals on the night for the Lady Titans, while Ungetheim added two. Sylvia Adler put in the other score and had an assist for Gibson Southern. Katelin Tenbarge, Kaylee Cox and Casey Mosby had the other assists for the Lady Titans. Mount Vernon averted a shutout when Katie Cox converted a penalty kick in the 54th minute. That cut the lead to 3-1 and the Lady Cats still had an outside chance, but then Gibson Southern scored a quick goal to basically put the game out of reach. Castle was hoping for redemption for last season’s game, where the Lady Cats posted a 1-0 win on a first-half penalty kick. She was also displeased with the way some fouls were called. She was also displeased with the way her team approached going to the back in order to support Cox and Jenny Koch, who were stifled for the most part outside of Cox’s penalty kick. Castle is concerned that some of the team’s early easy success, like Tuesday’s 10-3 Sherman tank crushing of the Northeast Dubois Lady Jeeps, may have been counterproductive. On Tuesday, Cox booted in five goals and helped out on three others in the Lady Cats’ 10-3 romp at Northeast Dubois. The coach was pleased with the win, adding that she was able to experiment with different lineups and that the team worked hard at times while building the big lead. Burt even then, the Lady Jeeps drew first blood. Then the Lady Cats had the same problem that comes from big wins over teams that don’t match up as well physically. “The problem with playing teams like (Northeast Dubois)
Mount Vernon senior goalie Ellen Searcy boots this long punt out of the Wildcats defensive end during Thursday’s game with Gibson Southern. Photo by Terri Koch is that you do not play up to your capabilities,” she said. “We became lazy real quickly when we scored early and got on top right away.” Jenny Koch did her thing as well, knocking in three goals and adding another three assists, while Lacey Johnson and Jenna Reidford added the other goals. Megan Randall and Samantha Scheu added the other assists.
Motz leads Posey runners with second-place finish at Hopewell Invite Another week, another strong finish for Hunter Motz. The North Posey senior had his third top five finish in as many races Thursday, placing second in the junior-senior boys’ race at the Hopewell Invitational, posting a time of 16:42 and finishing 13 seconds behind Trent Nolan of Reitz. Mount Vernon was second and North Posey 12th among the junior-senior boys, as the Cats scored 34 points and the Vikings amassed 147. Ken Renshaw came in seventh for the upperclass cats with a time of 17:57, while Dane Wilson (18:16) and Ryan Dick (18:17) wee 13-14. Sean Ritzert (18:41) was 20th and Peter Fink 70th (21:59) to round out the Mount Vernon junior-senior boys’ contingent. Ty Shemwell was way back in the pack, but his 67th-place finish was enough for second among the North posey runners, with a time of 21:45. Lucas Neuffer (22:48) and Nathan Buchanan (22:59) were
78th and 81st, respectively for the Vikings’ other two scores. The Wildcats were ninth the freshman and sophomore boys with 93 points, while North Posey was 15th with 214. Bryce Newman had the best finish of any county runner in the frosh-soph meet, finishing 15th in 19:01, while teammate D.A. Wilson (19:28) was 25th and Adam Hoehn (21:28) was 53rd. Jeff Powell (22:25) was 68th. Collin Knight (23:26) rounded out the Mount Vernon contingent in 79th place. Jonah Quirk (22:21) led North Posey’s frosh-soph group by finishing 67th with a time of 22:21, while Wes Conner (22:26) was 69th, Shane Martin (23:20) 78th, A.J. Sims (23:42) 82nd, Keegan Stratton (24:01) 83rd and Will Heldt (26:23) 92nd. Mount Vernon finished sixth with 81 points and North Posey ninth with 83 in the junior-senior girls;’ meet. The county schools went 18-19 in the older girls; race, with Brianna Reis of Mount Vernon finishing with a time of 24:30 and the Lady Vikings’ Jessica
Smith a second behind at 24:31. Olivia Baldwin (25:46) was 26th for the Lady Cats, while Ashton Fuelling (28:16) came in 37th. Megan Bender had North Posey’s second-best time, finishing 42nd in 28:41. Jillian Koester (31:46) finished 50th to round out the contingent. The Lady Vikings were eighth among the freshman-sophomore girls with 90 points. Since only the top three finishes in each class were counted in the class-competition meet, Mount Vernon did not have enough for a team score. Olivia Goebel paced the frosh-soph Lady Vikings by finishing 14th with a time of 24:05. Haley Lamar (24:49) was 21st in her meet, while Jaylyn Thornburg (29:46) rounded out the North Posey delegation in 55th place. Cally Schisler was the lone Mount Vernon frosh-soph runner, finishing 27th (28:21).
Area youth keep Johnsons active, young Rick and Debra Johnson of New Harmony make a perfect pair. Married for 17 years, the two have devoted their lives to educating Posey County’s young people while staying active as community volunteers. A New Harmony School, or NHS, graduate, Rick started teaching social studies and physical education at NHS in 1978. Now in addition to his teaching responsibilities, he serves as the president of the NHS chapter of the National Education Association. In 2008, he earned the Teacher’s Service Award, both for the region and for the state. His work has led him into a
number of coaching positions in baseball, basketball, volleyball and golf. He heads the weight conditioning program now and is a certified golf instructor. As a community volunteer, Rick is president of the board of directors for the Ribeyre Gymnasium Restoration Group, a student-led group with which he has been involved since its inception eight years ago. The town clock is ticking today largely because of Rick’s repair efforts. Moreover, he is a board member for the Working Men’s Institute and manages the rentals of the Catholic Community Center. In the past, he has served six years on the Zoning
Board of Appeals and 10 years with summer little league. A native of Birdseye, Ind., Debra “retired” in 2008 after 34 years of teaching. The last 33 years she taught mathematics at North Posey High School. She works now in the office and at auctions for Wilson Auction Realty. She is well-known in the community for her devoted service to Holy Angels parish, where both she and Rick are members. In addition to serving on the finance committee, she is sacristan, scheduler for lay ministers, Eucharistic minister and lector. Other interests include membership in Tri Kappa and serving on the committee
for the Hoosier Salon’s annual Paint Out. Both Rick and Debra have worked on three different Habitat builds: one in New Harmony, one in Mount Vernon and one in Evansville. As a couple, they have received the Bruté Award for distinguished service from the Catholic Diocese of Southwestern Indiana. The Johnsons celebrate that both sets of parents are still alive and well. Along with their son Timothy and wife Laura of Greenwood, Ind., they adore their two-and-a-half year-old granddaughter Grace and (already) their grandson Gibson, due on September 26. Rick and Debra are also still attached to their cat Willie, who was found as a kitten on their doorstep a

Lady Vikings looking for identity and wins after tough start “We started out pretty well but after that first game, we just didn’t do very many things right,” Gentil said of the loss to the Bears. Central took the second, third, and final came of the match by scores of 25-16, 25-19, and 25-20. “There just weren’t very many bright spots but I still like this team and its potential,” Gentil said. “We just have to keep working.” But unfortunately, things will not get easier for the Vikings as they try to recover from a 2-7 start on the season.
By Dave Pearce The North Posey Viking volleyball team had a slow week, both on and off the court this week. The Vikings had only one contest scheduled and from the looks of the outcome, it could have been a good thing. North Posey Coach Gary Gentil said he had no explanations as to why his team got off to such a fine start at Central this week, winning the first game 25-11 before the wheels fell off.

On November 2, 2010 the voters of Posey County will elect a prosecutor to serve our great community. There is a growing consensus among residents that new leadership is needed in this office. I believe that my values, experience, and energy make me the person for the job...
MY GOALS AS COUNTY PROSECUTOR: • Make prosecution of serious and dangerous felonies top priority over misdemeanor •
•
• •
and Protecting off P Posey C County ffrom serious and dangerous d traffi ffic cases. P i the h citizens ii i dd felonies will be my main concern. Take a stand against meth labs and those who sell drugs in our community. Meth use is an epidemic in Posey County. I believe one way to counteract this problem is to be aggressive and prosecute "meth cooks" to the fullest extent. Posey County deserves a prosecutor who will tackle this problem head-on. Increase communication and cooperation with local law enforcement. The officers in this county work hard to protect and serve. As prosecutor, I will work closely with law enforcement to help officers acheive their goals. I will be available for officers 24 hours a day to consult on cases and investigations. Increase child support collections for single parents in our county. I have seen first hand the struggles of single parents not recieving child support and I will make increasing collections a top priority. Reach out to the community and increase citizen involvement in community safety programs. I believe that residents taking ownership and an active role in community safety programs, such as Neighborhood Watch, makes for a stronger and safer community.

North Posey Lady Vikings on a tear until Forest Park drops Sherman tank on Vikes Three straight wins give Lady Vikings hope, confidence as season wears on By Steve Joos The North Posey girls’ soccer team had been on a roll, until Sherman rolled into North Posey on Saturday. Kendall Sherman, that is. The Forest Park forward scored two goals as the visiting Lady Rangers shut out the Lady Vikings 4-0, snapping North Posey’s three game winning streak, which included wins over North Knox and Wood Memorial last week. “We had a better first half than second half,� coach Pleasant Dike said. “They played a 4-3-3 and we had a 4-2-2, which means we had an extra girl in the center midfield and my girls didn’t see that early enough and capitalize on that.� The extra forward was unfamiliar to the Lady Vikings defensively, Dike said, adding that the adjustments took a while to figure out. Then there some referee calls which Dike said and the officials later agreed, weren’t right ones, including a penalty which resulted in a penalty kick by
Kayla Steffen with 9:40 to go in the first half. Dike said that Steffen apparently came in behind and bumped into a North Posey player in the back, setting up the kick. Amanda Jacob started the scoring for Forest Park before Sheridan went to work, scoring two second-half goals off assists by Addie Dilger and Maddie Boeglin, with Sheridan’s last score closing out the Forest Park offensively with 12 seconds left in the contest. The Lady Vikings, meanwhile, struggled with Forest Park’s defense and had were unable to get their forwards in a position to get a shot. The Lady Ranger forwards were especially a problem with their speed and quickness, Dike said, adding that North Posey will have to do a better job of reading the alignments when they change on the Lady Vikings. The loss came after home field wins over North Knox on Tuesday 3-1 and Wood Memorial on Thursday 8-1.
“Those were both good wins for us,� Dike said. “We were able to create lots of scoring opportunities (against Wood Memorial) and we were able to get some scoring opportunities against North Knox.� The Lady Vikings recently notched their first win of the season with a 3-2 victory at South Spencer. Against the Lady Trojans, Nichole Perry scored three goals, while Haley Allen added two. Sally Harsh, Brianna Perry and Ashley Mercer each put in one goal. It was Perry, Perry and Ayer Tuesday, as Nichole Perry, Brianna Perry and Payton Ayer each scored against North Knox, while Ayer booted in two goals at South Spencer. Nichole Perry had the other score against the Lady Rebels. The other teams weren’t as strong as Forest Park, Dike said, adding that the Lady Rangers also played a different alignment, something the Lady Vikings now have to watch out for.

Lady Rappites get first win
Young New Harmony Rappites lack only confidence The Lady Rappites also may have been intimidated by Memorial, something the coach is trying to get them to shake off. The Lady Rappite reserves got a few more licks in the preliminary, but still dropped a 25-11, 25-8 decision. New Harmony dropped a 25-13, 25-21, 25-13 decision to visiting Reitz earlier in the week. Pruitt said that the team played better against the Lady Panthers, but were up against a better team. “We’re getting there,� she said. “We’re hoping that what’s in the cupboard would show a little more confidence. The Lady Rappites struggled again Saturday, losing twice at the Harrison Invitational tournament. New Harmony lost to the host Lady Warriors 15-25, 25-21, 15-5, and Reitz 2511, 25-11. The Lady Rappite reserves fell to Harrison 25-18, 25-18, and Reitz 25-12, 25-8. The Lady Rappites picked up their first win of the season, defeating the visitors from Agape Christian 25-23, 20-25, 25-21, 26-24 for the lone bright spot in what was a touch stretch against three Evansville schools. “We played our game against Agape Christian,� Pruitt said. “We were talking, we were being loud, we were being aggressive.� The Lady Rappites played Central closer in the opening set before the Lady Bears pulled away, but in both contests, the Evansville schools went on big runs that turned close games into blowouts.
The problem for the Lady Rappites in 25-17, 25-9, 24-10 loss to Central was a simple lack of confidence, Pruitt said. “They have to believe in themselves,� Pruitt said. “They have the talent, I’ve seen it in practice, I’ve seen it in the games at times. I’d just like to see it more. They need to believe in themselves, I know they can do it.� The second set started out the same way, but Central broke things open with a nine-point run and went from the re to post a 25-9 win. The Lady Bears then opened the third set with five straight points and again never looked back. Pruitt thought her team communicated better than they did in the opener, but the confidence level still has to rise. Central also took the reserve match 25-20, 25-2. The season got off to a rough start for the Lady Rappites as they fell to visiting Bosse 25-11, 25-10, 25-19. Brianna Matthews registered five kills and scored four points to lead the Lady Rappites, while Brittany Racster added three points and passed the ball well. Danielle Axton shared leading-passer honors and Kelsey Owen led at middle hitter. Pruitt also praised Brianna Suttles for her efforts. The team wore down as the evening progressed and had trouble in very heated New Harmony School gym. Bosse also took the reserve match 25-21, 25-12. New Harmony dropped a 25-8, 25-14, 25-23 decision to visiting Mater Dei. Whit-
ney Blankenberger registered four aces and five digs, while Claire Alvey turned in 13 assists for the Lady Wildcats. Mater Dei also won the reserve match in two sets, 2513, 25-23.

By Steve Joos The New Harmony volleyball team has some talent, now all it needs is a little confidence. Pruitt didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much to say after undefeated Memorial came in and routed the Lady Rappites in three sets Thursday 25-3, 25-3, and 25-7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They (Memorial) were a good team,â&#x20AC;? Pruitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were a solid team. They were tall.â&#x20AC;? Memorialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s height on the front row was a big factor as Marie Hackert especially gave the Lady Rappites trouble. Hackert sky-hooked a number of volleys over the net into holes in the New Harmony zone, while Mallory Fen had 12 kills and Elisa Hoffmann registered five blocks as the Lady Tigers dominated all three sets. Kallie Falkenstein and Claire Church each registered eight digs, with Falkenstein serving 14 unanswered points to all but finish the first set. Another seven in a row were dished up off Fleckensteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings in the second set, followed by a nine-point run with Renaye Wahl at the line, put the second game out of reach. Then there was another nine-point run before New Harmony was able to get some points at the line off Brianna Suttlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; serves. On the night, the Lady Rappites managed just two service points, getting the rest of their offense by breaking Memorialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serves. The Lady Tigers also tipped the ball a bit, but not as much as Reitz did in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest, Pruitt said.

By Steve Joos An â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believeâ&#x20AC;? mentality. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the New Harmony volleyball team needs right now, according to their coach. The Lady Rappites served better and worked better as a team Tuesday night at Tecumseh, but they ran into trouble with the Lady Braves, losing 25-11, 25-12, 25-4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to work on talking and being loud and aggressive more than anything,â&#x20AC;? coach Elizabeth Pruitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one serving error the whole game, which is good.â&#x20AC;? Oh, and they need to overcome that lack of confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to get over that attitude of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a small schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and we have losing records,â&#x20AC;? Pruitt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to believe in ourselves, we have to see what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to do and what we can do out there.â&#x20AC;? That lack of confidence was evident at Tecumseh, as the team started out well, but gradually lost focus over the course of the evening, Pruitt said.. The Lady Rappite reserves lost in the preliminary 25-8, 25-11. Setter Sara Smotherman is currently leading the team in assists, while Kelsey Owen is packing the squad in digs. Morgan Matthews and Brianna Suttles are leading the way in kills and aces. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing well, but now they have to believe they can win, even as they take a 1-8 record into this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action after an early stretch which saw them face Class 1A heavyweight Tecumseh and six Evansville schools in seven matches. Pruitt didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much to say after Memorial came in and touted the Lady Rappites in three sets 25-3, 25-3, 25-7.

Mount Vernon breaks hex, beats Jasper in Dubois County By Steve Joos Mount Vernon beat Jasper? That’s what happened on the road Tuesday night. Koch registered 19 kills and nine blocks as visiting Mount Vernon rallied from a 2-1 deficit to beat Jasper 23-25, 25-10, 20-25, 25-18, 15-9 in a key Big Eight Conference match-up with their longtime nemesis. “That was a huge win for us,” Alford said. “At the start of the season, we set our goals and Jasper was on the top our list. I don’t know how long it’s been since Mount Vernon has beaten Jasper and they’re in our conference, so if we beat Jasper, we have a good chance to win our conference. That was something we came out and were really motivated and prepared for.” Wallis dished up five aces to pace Mount Vernon, while Schelhorn added 13 digs and Martin had 29 assists. Jasper took the reserve match 25-18, 25-19. According to unofficial statistics, it was Mount Vernon’s first volleyball win over Jasper in 15 years.

Photo by Chris Koch Mount Vernon was a close
one until Brittany Wallis went to the line. When her serve was finally broken, the Lady Wildcats were well on their way to a first-set victory. Reitz had the upper hand 20-17 in the second game when Carynn Koch began serving. She served and served until the Lady Cats had scored eight points and went up 2-0 with a 25-20 winner. That’s how two of the three sets went Thursday night as Mount Vernon followed up a key Big Eight Conference victory with a 25-16, 25-20, 25-15 win over the visiting Lady Panthers, picking up their second win of the week even though coach Andi Alford was concerned about her team’s approach. “Honestly, I’m a little disappointed,” Alford said. “We just came off a big win and seeing how they played in the Jasper game and how competitive and motivated they were, I feel like there was a little bit of a letdown.” Letdown or not, the Lady Wildcats still took care of business and came away with the victory, although it wasn’t really accomplished in the style Mount Vernon
has trained for, according to Alford. In the first two games, it seemed as if the best way to score was to let the other team get the ball and then force a side out in order to pick up a rally point. After Wallis’ six-point roll stretched a 15-13 Mount Vernon lead to 21-14, the Lady Wildcats scored two more points off serves and then traded side outs with the Lady Panthers to salt away the first game. The second set was a battle of attrition, with neither team getting more than four points off their serves and that wasn’t until Reitz did it with Sarah McIntosh at the line. The Lady Panthers used that streak to take a 17-15 lead and maintained an advantage of up to four points until a blocking error resulted in a Mount Vernon rally point, giving the ball back to the Lady Wildcats and sending Koch to the line. The Lady Cats didn’t give up the ball until a Reitz hitting error resulted in game point. “At the end we got lucky,” Alford said of the second set. “We got some good serves and at that point, it’s just a serve-and-pass game.
We did our part on our end of the floor, but Reitz had control of that game and we pulled it off.” The third set still had its share of bad streaks, but Mount Vernon finally became more comfortable and put together a series of modest serving streaks to build an early 7-2 lead and then pull away from the Lady Panthers. Despite the win, Alford was still looking for more intensity and more movement when the ball is on the other side of the net and she’d like to see a better overall flow in the game, something which seemed to be off against Reitz. Koch seemed to be very stylish against the Lady Panthers. In addition to the killer service streak at the end of the second set, the big senior registered six blocks, 12 digs and 14 kills. Brittany Schelhorn paced the team with three aces and Meagan Martin had 27 assists. The Lady Wildcat reserves took the preliminary 25-24, 25-16. A letdown could have almost been expected after Mount Vernon went to Dubois County earlier in the week and beat Jasper.

Wildcat tennis team takes another second, continues to improve By Steve Joos The Mount Vernon boys’ tennis team put four players in the championship round of their invitational tournament Saturday. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they lost all four spots and that may have been the difference as the Cats finished second in the tournament. “They played OK at some spots, but we’re just really struggling at two doubles to find any kind of consistency and gameplan,” coach Vicki Oehmler said. “I though our one doubles came back to beat a Central team which had beaten them last weekend at Washington and that was a good thing. Singles, I think we did OK, but I wish one of them could have squeaked out a victory.” Mount Vernon scored 13 points to come in behind Vincennes Rivet, which won with 17. Mater Dei and Clarksville Providence tied for third with nine points each, while Central was fifth with seven. This was the second invitational this season where the Cats claimed runner-up status. Jevin Redman showed some strength at first singles, coming back from a big deficit to push Pete Andres of Providence to a second-set tiebreaker before falling 6-0, 7-6(7-2) at first singles. Ross Canada wasn’t consistent as he had been at second singles, as he dropped his title match to Rivet’s Kendall Vieke 6-3, 6-2, while Todd Sheffer gave another Patriot, Aaron Pea, a battle at third singles. Pea needed a tiebreaker to win 6-2, 4-6, 10-7. The first doubles combo of Jacob Steinhart and Rile Oberle were in the first double championship and they came up short, falling to Brady Mouzin and Collin Vieke (another pair from Rivet) 6-3, 7-5. In all, Mount Vernon and Rivet faced off at three spots in the finals. “Overall, I was pleased, but when you get that close…” Oehmler said. “When you get four people in the finals and don’t get that victory, that’s the disappointing part.” One champion would have enabled the Cats to tie for the title, but that didn’t happen. Otherwise, it was a good day and Oehmler felt that her team was competitive, but could have played to the best of their abilities. A freshman, Sheffer joined the starting lineup at third sin-
gles for Tuesday’s meet against Central, won by the Cats 3-2 on a sweep of the singles spots. While not a hard hitter, Oehmler was pleased with his overall consistency and hoped to work Sheffer into the third singles spot later in the season, but a lack of consistency at third singles pushed him into the varsity lineup last week. Mount Vernon snapped back from a loss at Memorial for a 3-2 win over Central Tuesday night, thanks to a sweep of the singles’ spots. Redman was a 6-1, 6-4 winner over Jack Kiely at first singles, while Canada posted a 6-0, 7-6(7-5) win over Ryan Lombard at second singles and Todd Scheffer was a 6-2, 6-0 winner over John Keith at third singles. The week didn’t get off to a good start, as Memorial blanked the Cats 5-0. Mount Vernon got in a few licks, but the Tigers dominated for the most part, as Stephen Washuta slammed Redman 6-0, 6-1 at first singles and Chad Barron posted a 6-0, 6-0 win over Seth Reeves at third singles. Scheffer took over at third singles for Reeves, who moved to second doubles, where he and Logan Hopper lost 6-1, 6-0, while Steinhart and Oberle came up short 6-3, 6-4 at first doubles. Canada was able to get some shots in at second singles, but lost 6-0, 6-3 to Ryan Schultheis. Crabtree and Hopper lost to Mark Meuriollo and Mark Carver 6-1, 6-4 at second doubles. Memorial took the reserve meet 3-1. “Memorial is very strong and an experienced team,” the coach said. “We played fairly well against them. We got beat 5-0, but I wasn’t unhappy with the way we played.” The Cats played better in the second set at each spot against the Tigers, Oehmler said. Against Central, the Cats matched a little more evenly and had a good week overall. Now, if they could have only gotten around Rivet The season has been going pretty well so far, said, with a good won-loss record and the two runner-up finishes against Layton Hopper, junior Widcat, returns the serve during stronger competition. Oehmler said that the Wildcats are a recnet home tennis match. Hopper plays No. 2 doubles about where they wanted to be and feels they should keep for the Wildcats.

Wildcats lose pair of games, Kuhlenschmidt to broken leg By Steve Joos It was the Lance Davis show Tuesday in Mount Vernon, but the program seemed to go over a bit better for fans of the visiting Washington Hatchets. Davis scored four goals and added an assist as the Hatchets blanked the Wildcats 7-0, in a Big Eight Conference boys’ soccer clash. While Cots coach Travis Kaiser complimented Davis for his efforts, the Mount Vernon coach thought that his team could have done a better job of keeping the senior forward in check. “It’s not that hard to mark a player,” he said. “If you’re willing to do it and want to do it, you can do it. But if you just want to let him run free, he’s going to knock it in the back of the net everytime.” “We worked hard, but we’re still not playing soccer,” Kaiser said. “We’re not passing the ball enough, we’re not getting the ball wide enough, we’re not defending, we’re not rotating, there’s a lot of stuff we’re not doing right.” Davis started early, scoring the first goal with 14 minutes gone in the first half. Washington added a pair of goals later in the half
to take a 3-0 lead to the sidelines at the intermission. In the second half, Davis struck again with 12:28 to go and that opened the floodgates, scoring three more goals in the next two minutes to build a 7-0 advantage. The Cats seemed to be stuck in a mode where they aren’t moving the ball across the field and didn’t get the ball out wide, Kaiser said. The Wildcats had their chances, especially in the first half and couldn’t capitalize. Those chances became fewer and further between after they stopped marking up in the second half. The Cats lost the reserve game 1-0 when the Mount Vernon goalkeeper drew a red card late in the second half. Kaiser was carded for arguing an official’s call late in the game, as was the reserves goalkeeper. The coach missed Thursday’s game with Central and will also have to sit out tonight’s contest at Mount Carmel. Against Central, the Wildcats were playing a much better game when Matt Kuhlenschmidt went down with a broken leg in the contest. Central led 4-2 at the time of the injury and the Wildcats rebounded with a pair of goals to finish the contest with a 5-4 score. Kuhlenschmidt is obviously out for the season.
Vikings, from Page B1 The Titan drive began in the first quarter and carried over into the second and with a nice combination of runs and passes, the Titans realized that they could play with the Vikings. Neither team could sustain much of a drive until the Vikings made one of several “silly” penalties on the night. With 1:03 remaining in the first half and ahead 14-0, the Viking defense had held and the Titans were punting when a roughing the kicker gave the ball back to the Titans. The Titans took advantage of the gift. It took them 46 seconds to score on first and goal from the one with 14 seconds remaining and suddenly there was a football game at Jewell Fieldhouse. The half ended on a Gibson Southern interception of a desperation pass attempt at the half-time buzzer. “I told the kids that we made enough bone-headed mistakes on a couple of our penalties…we had them stopped with the opportunity to get the ball back and we just can’t afford to help the other team,” Gengelbach said. “We didn’t take advantage of several times when we had good field position and those things will come back to get you. We had three or four times where we made mistakes and you have to give their No. 60 (Logan Knight) credit, He was all over the field tonight.” The Titans came out of the locker room with a new attitude and it showed. It took just over one minute for them, despite having to recover their own fumble, to advance the fumble some 25 yards into the end zone and it was 14-13 after the extra point was missed. “You have to give credit to Gibson Southern because their kids played hard and they played fast,” North Posey Coach Joe Gengelbach said. “They are working to get on the right side of the ledger. They had a lot of poise and we made a lot of mental mistakes tonight. We missed some assignments and I know we are young but it reaches a point after getting this far into the season that you have to start recognizing situations and playing those situations.” There were some good things that happened during the ensuing possessions, like Harness chasing down a Neidig punt and dropping it dead on the Titans’ own one yard line but neither team seemed to be able to get a sustained drive in the third period. Not even a Jourdan Cox interception could fire up the North Posey offense and the score remained 14-13 well into the fourth and final quarter. Finally, with 10:30 remaining in the contest, senior Conner Cain came up with a big interception and the Vikings used the momentum generated by the turnover. On third and three from the nine yard line, Harness found the end zone with 5:37 showing on the clock and it appeared the Vikings were on their way. On the ensuing kick-off, Cody Voelker recovered a Gibson Southern fumble on the return at the Titan 34 and it took the Vikings just a little under two minutes to put another score on the board when Calvert ran up the middle from the 24. With four minutes remaining, the Vikings took a 28-13 lead. But the Titans were not finished. On a third and 18, the Titans’ Matt Brown got loose for the first down. Brown and speedy backfield mate Kyle Wampler took turns finally scoring on a pass play with 47 seconds remaining. The 2-point conversion had Viking fans once again sitting on their hands as they nursed a 28-21 lead with an onsides kick almost a certainty. “We made some changes on pass defense tonight to try and help on the corners and Jourdan (Cox) played there last year and did a good job,” Gengelbach said. “Nick (Neidig) is still young and he is continuing to get better. He’s only had a week at it. Our

safeties in there played pretty well and it helped them because you don’t have to be quite as rangy at that position. I think we are moving in the right direction but when we move one part, we have to bring in another sophomore in at the linebacker spot. Chris O’Risky got his first start tonight and he is going to get better. He plays hard but our biggest thing right now is to make sure everyone knows what they are supposed to do and when they are supposed to do it.” The Vikings recovered the kick and ran out the clock to move to 2-1 on the season and 2-0 in the Pocket Athletic Conference. The Vikings finished with a total of 239 yards of total offense to 245 for the Titans. Most of the Viking yardage came on the ground with Harness leading the way with 87 yards in 18 carries. Motz gained 47 yards on nine carries while Calvert had 46 yards on seven carries. The Vikings completed only 5-of19 passes for two touchdowns and an interception. Reidford caught three passes for 35 yards while Cox caught one for 19 and Calvert caught one for five. Defensively, Alex Maile led the team with five solo tackles and three assists, a punt block, and a tackle for a six-yard loss. Luke Morrow and Wes Harness each had five tackles and a pair of assists. Harness had a pair of tackles for losses and as did Kurt Seibert. Cain had three tackles, an assist, an interception, and a fumble recovery. Calvert, Cox, and Seibert each had three tackles while Chris O’Risky made his presence felt with one solo tackle and eight assists.

16 carries. Kyle Wampler had 13 yards on four carried. Quarterback Jordan Scheller threw to five different receivers, connecting on 10-of-23 passes on the night. A half-back option pass, thrown to perfection by Brown, was dropped in the first half that cost the Titans a score. Wampler had three kick-off returns for 68 yards and David Anguish had three punt returns for 15 yards. “We told the kids that we are glad we won and it is good to be 2-0 in the conference but we are really going to have to bear down,” Gengelbach said in parting. “We’re just not playing near where we are capable of being.”

Stewartsville’s Harriett Winkleman retires from New Harmonie Healthcare Stewartsville area native Harriett Ann Winkleman started to work as a short order cook when she was 20 years old. That experience served her well when she became dietary manager at New Harmonie Healthcare Center, where she retired on August 1 after 19 years of service. The facility celebrated Ann’s service with a reception in her honor held on Wednesday evening, August 11. As a short order cook, Ann moved from the Red Geranium to Tower Light Restaurant to T’s Restaurant
to Dutch Corner—always where she could keep an eye on her three children. Then, in her 40’s, she returned to school at the University of Southern Indiana, or USI, and completed the two-year program to become a certified dietary manager. The need for job advancement and insurance drove her decision. She was still finishing her degree when she applied for the dietary manager position in 1991 at New Harmonie Healthcare Center, just 15 minutes away from her home. She was delighted with this op-
portunity to serve people she knew. She soon discovered she’d made the right choice. She saw the strength of the facility in its caring staff and in its capability to serve the community. “We want what is best for the residents,” she says. “We want their lifestyle to be the best we can possibly make it. It takes all of us.” She credits her enthusiasm for cooking to her mother. “I learned to cook from watching and working with my mother,” she comments. She fondly remembers another role
model, Mrs. Dorothy Rumble, her junior high and high school home economics teacher at North Posey. Rumble realized Ann’s gifts and encouraged her to use them. Ann says she has most enjoyed the people—residents, their families and the staff—at New Harmonie Healthcare. “I’ve enjoyed working here,” she states. “I’m going to miss the people.” Still, she adds, “I recommend retirement.” She’s looking forward to more time enjoying her family. “I have 20 years of things to catch up on,” she says. Those things

The Mount Vernon River Days festivities will necessitate the closing of several streets in the Riverfront area. Street closings will begin on Thursday, Sept. 9. Water Street will be closed from College to Locust (except for emergency vehicles, of course). College Street, Main Street, and Walnut streets will be closed from Second to Water. At 10 a.m. on Saturday morning, the Children’s Parade will travel from Third and Mill streets, east on Third Street and then south on College to the main stage at Water and Main streets. The River Days Parade, at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, will form at the Mt. Vernon Senior High parking lot, travel west on Tenth Street, south on Main Street to Second, east on Second to Kimball and then back to the parking lot. The Mount Vernon Boat Dock will be closed to boaters during River Days; however, through the generosity of the Mount Vernon Boat Club, boaters will be allowed to use the Canal Street boat ramp on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 1012) only.
Indiana State Police announces use of new meth investigation tool The battle against the production of methamphetamine is now being fought online with a web driven investigative tool called the Indiana Methamphetamine Investigation System, (IMIS). The IMIS website (http://www. in.gov/meth/ or http://meth. in.gov) provides for the input of data from retailers that sell pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient used to manufacture methamphetamine. This information can then be analyzed by law enforcement to detect practices consistent with the production of methamphetamine. The site also has general information about meth and the ability for the public to submit – directly from the website- tip information about suspected meth activity. The tracking of pseudoephedrine sales is not new to Indiana; in fact, Target and Wal-Mart were among the first to participate in voluntary tracking of the key pharmaceutical ingredient that is a ‘must have’ ingredient for production of meth. With IMIS, the tracking will be automated and more user friendly for the pharmacist to input the information. As compared to the currently used paper log system the ease of use is expected to attract more voluntary participation from pharmacists across the state concerned about the diversion of a legal drug to illegal production of methamphetamine. The IMIS site was officially launched at an unveiling demonstration held at the Indiana State Police Toll Road on August 13. Today the demonstration continues at the Indiana State Police Post at Evansville as part of the continued introduction of the new IMIS web site across the rest of the state. Local government officials and legislators were invited to attend today’s announcement after which up to 40 local area law enforcement officers attended a four hour training course instructing them how to properly utilize the system. This system was provided to Indiana – free of charge – by the Tennessee Meth Task Force, which has been utilizing the system since 2004. The Indiana system has the same goals and expectations as the Tennessee Meth Intelligence System (TMIS). Both systems are designed for law enforcement to be used to support comprehensive community policing efforts throughout the state in preventing the production, use and distribution of methamphetamine. Aspects of these systems include linking and sharing information derived through various technology which enables law enforcement to access, process, record and
analyze information relevant to the investigation and prosecution of methamphetamine offenders statewide. Funding to produce the Tennessee system was provided by Federal grants and Tennessee has made it part of their mission to share the system they developed with other law enforcement agencies across the country. Since Tennessee began using the system in 2004, more than 500,000 purchases have been identified by documented methamphetamine offenders or by individuals who exceeded the legal purchase amount of pseudoephedrine. Based on this proved track record the Indiana State Police expects to have similar success. The Indiana State Police are the primary responders to the vast majority of active and inactive clandestine meth labs that are found operational or abandoned in urban and rural locations. Meth labs can be operational in a suspect’s home or are established in motels and even in vehicles. The first documented meth lab identified by the Indiana State Police was in 1991. Since 1995, the Indiana State Police have rendered safe over 8,913 meth labs of which 1,059 of them were in 2008 and 1,343 were in 2009. So far for 2010, the Indiana State Police Methamphetamine Suppression Section (MSS) has responded to 734 meth labs as of August 1. “Look at it this way,” said First Sergeant Niki Crawford, the Commander of the Indiana State Police Methamphetamine Suppression Section, “26% of all the meth labs the state police has responded to were in the last two years. Every indication for 2010 is that we’ll be well over 1,000 labs again. The Indiana Methamphetamine Investigation System will be a resource database available to all Indiana law enforcement agencies – city, county, state and federal. “Rember,” said F/Sgt. Crawford, “We all have a vested interest in the success of this system; from the retailers that will be inputting the raw purchase data information to all the police agencies across Indiana who will access the information to track, find, arrest and prosecute these purveyors of manufactured death that are polluting their own bodies and the communities where they manufacture this despicable drug.” For more information about this release, please contact F/Sgt. David Bursten at 317-502-6220 or email at dbursten@isp.in.gov. For specific questions about IMIS, contact F/Sgt. Niki Crawford at 317-234-4591 or email at ncrawford@isp. in.gov.
