By Valerie WerkmeisterPosey County Commissioner

Jerry Walden is doing all he can to support a Pakistani-owned fertil-izer plant be built in Posey County. Walden stated in last Tuesday’s, April 16, commissioner meet-ing that the project is still under review with Indiana Governor Mike Pence. He encouraged Posey County residents to support the fertilizer plant by writing a letter to legislators.

“Send a personal letter, a single line or short paragraph to Wendy McNamara’s e-mail box or Jim Tomes and also Governor Pence. It carries a lot of clout when in-dividuals just take the time to put a stamp on a letter and write it in their handwriting and it goes up there, you know if 100 letters go

up there, they know there are at least 10 times that many behind it,” Walden said.

The project has been on hold following claims by federal gov-ernment offi cials that some of the fertilizer products produced are used as components in bombs tar-geting American soldiers overseas.

According to Walden, the Fati-ma Group, has since proven to government offi cials that it has re-vised its formula and the fertilizer products that will be manufactured here is not capable of creating ex-plosions.

“We have seen fi lms [showing the fertilizer produced will be non-explosive] and literally, the last thing that’s holding it is Governor Pence. He’s right on the edge,” Walden said.

“We’ve seen fi lms and it’s ba-sically almost non-explosive, it’s not nitrogen-based, it’s not based on the oxidizers that the ones that blow up are. They’ve changed their formula. They are probably going to try and get that patented,” he added.

“It can be such a good thing for this community. It’s increased from $1 billion to $1.2 billion, $1.3 and it’s up to $2 billion dol-lars in investments in this commu-nity for this plant,” Walden said.

Walden believes Governor Pence may be contemplating a few additional stipulations that the Fatima Group must abide by be-fore he gives his nod of approval. In the meantime, the company has continued to work on obtaining air quality permits behind the scenes

just as if it’s going to take place.“Both parties are for it, both

Republican and Democrats are be-hind it,” Walden said.

Walden stated the job oppor-tunities will be tremendous for Posey County. Approximately 2,000 employees will be needed to build the facility. Once it’s built, 300 full-time employees will be on staff averaging a salary of $58,000 per year. In addition, there will be 400 jobs continuous on site for construction, etc.

Walden urged residents to e-mail a letter of support to Rep-resentative Wendy McNamara at [email protected], Senator Jim Tomes at [email protected]. and Governor Mike Pence at 200 W. Washington St., Rm. 206, Indianapolis, IN 46204.

By Valerie WerkmeisterA request to the New Harmony

Town Council to annex South Road was turned down during last Thursday’s, April 18, meeting. Na-than Maudlin spoke on behalf of the parks board and asked for the two boards to meet to discuss the trail project.

“There seems to be some dis-cussion about annexation of South Road and how that affects the pro-posed storm sewer project that the town is hopeful to get. We’ve been in contact with Derek Wiggins, who’s an engineer that we’re all familiar with and he assures us that both of those projects can co-exist peacefully. The trail can go on top of the drain, if the drain is eventu-ally approved,” Maudlin said.

Maudlin added that the parks board had been granted an exten-sion by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on spending trail funds.

“This means we can go ahead and build other parts of the trail while the town board works on get-ting a grant for the storm sewer,” he said.

If the town is successful in se-curing a grant, completion of the trail over South Road could wait until the town fi nishes the storm sewer project.

Questions regarding ownership of South Road are unresolved and New Harmony Town Council Pres-ident Joe Straw stated, on behalf of all board members, that the town does not intend to annex South Road.

“The trails, I have nothing wrong with those trails. We made a com-mitment to maintain those trails for 25 years. That’s going to be expen-sive. Phase 2 that they’re wanting to put in, we’ve made a commit-ment to do that and that’s going to be expensive. So, I think we’ve kind of stretched the limits on the town. That’s the conclusion that we’ve come to. We are not going to annex South Road,” Straw said.

Approval was given on ordi-nance 2013-4 to increase water rates. Council member Linda Warrum noted the last increase was in 1998. The proposal introduces rate increases in 10 percent incre-ments over the next three years. A public hearing has been set for May 16 and citizens are encour-aged to attend.

Despite the increase, Warrum added that New Harmony’s water rates are the lowest in the area.

Department heads gave their re-ports to the council. Bobby Grider requested residents not to place trash into yard waste containers. Town employees must take ad-ditional time to separate the trash since it cannot be disposed of in the same manner.

By Valerie WerkmeisterAn abandoned and neglected

home near South Terrace Elemen-tary has neighbors fed up and look-ing to the county for answers. Pam Cheaney spoke to the Posey County Commissioners during last week’s, April 16, meeting about her con-cerns for the property conditions at 2519 Woods Drive in Blairsville. The owner, Thomas Putnam, was sent a letter and requested to ap-pear. He was not in attendance.

Cheaney explained that she and other neighbors are frustrated with the problem that she explained has been ongoing for years. Debris lit-ters the yard and the house is in a state of disrepair. Cheaney stated one neighbor has had diffi culty selling her home due to the condi-tion of Putnam’s house. Putnam is not living in the home at this time. According to Cheaney, there are discarded grills and an old refriger-ator in addition to roofi ng and con-struction material scattered about. She also knows there are increased sightings of rodents and snakes in the neighborhood and believes it’s due to Putnam’s yard.

She expressed her frustration to the commissioners and requested assistance. The commissioners agreed the home is in violation of the county’s nuisance ordinance. They directed Building Commis-sioner Ed Battieger to send a let-ter to clean up the property within 30 days or further legal action will take place.

Sheriff Greg Oeth informed commissioners of the resignation of deputy Kevin Bratton. He has accepted another job opportunity. Oeth advised he will accept appli-cations for a new deputy through April 26. The merit board will meet the end of April to discuss the ap-plicants.

E-911 Director Sabrina Harms informed commissioners that a re-cent lightning strike to dispatch has caused $66,000 in damages so far. They are still working to assess the situation and order repairs.

Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk advised his department is approximately $26,000 behind in revenue compared to the same time last year. He was unsure as to the reason why the state is be-hind in releasing these funds, but was confi dent they would “balance out eventually.” The fi rst round in street paving will begin this week. They have set aside $550,000 in EDIT funds for this project.

He also stated there are two ver-sions of a bill before Indiana legis-lators that will determine a consid-erable difference in funds available to counties from the wheel excise tax. According to Schenk, the House version of the bill gives the highway department $685,000 in

By Valerie WerkmeisterA large group of citizens were in attendance at the MSD of North

Posey School Board meeting on Monday, April 8, causing standing room only. While their concerns were not addressed, Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp did acknowledge their presence after the meeting was adjourned.

“I would like to thank everyone for attending, it’s great to have an audience. Come back next month, we really do appreciate it,” he said.

According to Indiana Open Door Law (ODL), MSD of North Posey is within their rights of the law not to allow citizen comment during their public meetings. It states: “The ODL does not guarantee the right to speak at public meetings. Although an individual has the right to attend and observe all public proceedings, no specifi c statutory authority allows an individual to appear before and address a governing body. A govern-ing body may choose to provide an opportunity for comments or discus-sion at any time or may allow a limited number of comments or limited amount of time for comments on matters under consideration. During certain meetings, a provision for public comment may be required by statute.”

Citizens may call the central offi ce to request to be placed on the agen-da in order to speak about their concerns to the school board members. School board members may also be contacted on an individual basis to hear their patrons’ concerns.

Board members gave a nod of approval toward three large-scale proj-ects to be completed over the summer. Camp detailed the scope of each project and provided a list of price quotes for each. His recommendations included: a $380,000 quote from Midwest Roofi ng to complete all of the fl at roofs at the high school; a $313,900 quote from ECI to construct a new bus barn and a $186,240 quote from ECI for the central offi ce expansion. The bid for the corporation offi ce also includes two alternate projects that will add covered building entries to the south and west sides at a cost of $9,600.

Camp added that he was able to obtain a cost reduction from ECI that would drop the cost of the bus barn project to $295,980 and the central offi ce expansion to $176,540.

Two words that embody Griffi n resident Bridget Cox are compassion and perseverance. While most of society seems to focus on their own needs, Cox has spent most of her life looking out for others and giving to those who are in need. She does this not only in her professional life but also in her personal life and it’s something for all of us to learn from.

Cox grew up in New Harmony and eventually graduated top of her class in 1994. Education is close to her heart and just recently she has gone back to school at the University of Southern Indiana to continue her education in the area of Early Child-

hood Education.This love for education is some-

thing she stresses to her three kids Ali, Summer, and Adam. Her family is one of her top priorities in life and she is married to Bryan, who gives back to the community as a volunteer fi refi ghter as well.

Cox has worked for the Commu-nity Action Program of Evansville for the past seventeen years. She works as an Early Head Start home visitor. She works with my families to provide educational and supportive services. Cox works with pregnant women, expectant fathers, infants and toddlers. She helps to provide nu-

tritional and health education, parent/child relationship building, and fam-ily goal setting and support as well.

Cox also has been giving back by being a vital part of the kids program at her church in New Harmony. She helps to run the Caravan program at the Harmony Chapel Church of the Nazarene.

All together Cox has a full plate in front of her. And at the end of the day her love for people, especially those who are in need, keeps her motivated to continue to move forward. All of us can learn from this good neighbor and give back in any way that we can.

Education and dedication sums up Bridget Cox’s extraordinary life

By Lois Mittino GrayWhen four nationally-acclaimed artists arrived in New Har-

mony to teach workshops at the Fifteenth Annual First Brush of Spring Paint Out this week, they bantered back and forth about it being like a little “Mayberry.” They gushed over its small town ways, the low prices at the Main Café and the soli-tary cop car and lone fl ashing stoplight. By the time they left after a week, the four could not stop praising the friendliness of the town and its people.

Montana artist Carolyn Anderson, Pennsylvanian Kenn Backhaus, and Hoosier native CW Mundy taught classes this week as well as California resident Frank Serrano. Serrano was wowed by local hospitality and called New Harmony the “most unique place I’ve ever seen.” The quartet also led a panel discussion on plein air painting Tuesday night for the public at the Atheneum, including a busload of students who came over from USI. Some 65 persons attended the four workshops.

The Paint Out was held from Thursday through Saturday and 134 people registered to paint outdoors and enter their work in the contest. Awards were presented Saturday after-noon at the Holy Angels Community Center. Jerry Smith won Best in Show for an oil painting titled “Bowery Street Spring.” His $2,500 award was made possible by John and Sarah Lechleiter. A one thousand dollar award went to Todd A. Williams for an oil painting of Barn Abbey, sponsored by local art patrons Dr. George and Mrs. Peggy Rapp. Best in Watercolor Award went to Robert Pote for “Along East Tav-ern” and his thousand dollar award was sponsored by the Hoosier Salon.

The thousand dollar Best in Pastel Award went to Carol Strock-Wasson’s “Untitled.” It was made possible by the Richmond Art Museum. Merit awards of $250 each went to Chris Newland, Jeff Klinker, Joel Knapp, Jim Cantrell, Larry Rudolech, Ken Bucklew, Roy Boswell, Ray Hassard and John Lasater.

Nonprofessional Awards were made possible by Ron and Dottie Mack. The First Place Award of $100 was won by Lo-retta Robinson “Old Rooming House”. Second Place $75 to Rodka Dammeyer for “Monet’s Bridge” and $50 to Mary Ann Nusbaum for “New Harmony Bridge”

A kids mini-workshop was held on Saturday morning for twenty children. Monetary awards were given to Macey Montgomery, Haley LaMar and Gwendolynn Jolly in ages 12-18. Kayla Orpurt, Ellsion Martin and Grace Glaser won in the under 12 category. All student awards are in memory of Dr. Arthur Mills. The judged event was sponsored by the Indiana Plein Air Association and the Hoosier Salon.

The Paint Out also featured a Field to Finish Exhibit and Reception on Wednesday night. Fifty entrants show fi eld drawings made outdoors last year that were taken home to the studio as sparks to embellish upon and fi nish later. The contest shows the artist’s thoughts and process in making a piece from start to fi nish. Winners were Roy Boswell, Tricia Hillenburg, Virginia Kramer, Marka Kroeger and Marilyn Witt. All were pastels except for Hillenburg’s oil. A Quick Draw Event was held Thursday night at the Holy Angels Community Center.

The Paint Out’s Signature offering is the Art Sale at the Ri-beyre Community Gym on Saturday morning. Sale Chairmen Paul and Tammy Allison felt this year it was bigger and bet-ter than ever. “We sold the most number of paintings, double what we sold fi ve years ago, and had artists here from several states. The quality is the best we ever had”, they said. Hoosier Salon Director Maggie Rapp agreed and felt the good sales are due to “high quality art this year, decent prices and the opportunity to talk to the artist in person which collectors love to do.”

All of these activities require a considerable organized vol-unteer effort and Paint Out Chairmen George and Peggy Rapp hosted a party in their home Sunday evening to thank all the help. Jobs included everything from delivering lunches on golf carts to making S’mores for the Friday night Cookout and Bonfi re with Music. Dale Kennedy earned the nickname “Town Apple Polisher” after she personally shined up cases of Gala apples for snacks for the artists. Mick McConnell was Assistant Chairman.

Peggy Rapp said “this is an enormous volunteer effort and the number of people who pull this off is phenomenal. Next year we plan to have fi ve famous artists leading workshops.” Dates for next year’s venue are set for April 10-12.

There are many myths that have circulated for years that cause concern about spaying or neuter-ing pets. By not ‘fi xing’ a pet, many unwanted litters occur and contribute to the pet overpopulation prob-lem we have nationwide. The following answers are provided by both The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP):

Myth: My pet will get fat and lazy if fi xed.

Fact: The only way your dog will get fat and lazy is if you do not provide enough exercise and feed him too much.

Myth: It’s better to have one litter before spaying a female pet.

Fact: Actually medical evidence indicates just the opposite. Females spayed before their fi rst heat are

typically healthier. Steril-ization at 8 weeks of age is not unusual.

Myth: My dog won’t be protective if he’s neutered.

Fact: A dog’s personality is formed more by genetics and environment than by hormones. It’s a dog’s natu-ral instinct to protect home and family.

Myth: Children should experience the miracle of birth.

Fact: The likelihood of a child actually seeing a dog give birth is slim. Most births occur at night and in a secluded area. The real miracle your child should experience is the knowl-edge that by preventing your pet from having ba-bies, you are potentially saving the lives of hundreds of other cats and dogs.

Myth: My dog is so spe-cial; I want a puppy just like her.

Fact: Professional dog breeders, whose bloodlines stretch back for genera-tions, have no guarantee of getting a particular char-acteristic from a litter. The dog owner’s chances are even slimmer. In fact a lit-ter of puppies might end up getting only the worst char-acteristics of your pet and her mate.

Fact: There are just too many dogs and cats bred, both mixed breed and pure-bred. At least 1 out of every 4 dogs turned into shelters around the country are purebred. Please get your pets fi xed, for their health and for the lives of so many other great dogs and cats waiting to fi nd a good, lov-ing forever home.

Dinner, meeting to feature Mount Vernon history

By Pam YoungThe other day I had a half hour to kill before

I had to be at my chorus practice, so I decided I’d go to Ross Dress for Less and just browse. I’m sure this isn’t right, but I do it often at Ross; I buy something not because I really love it, but because its original price is hor-rifyingly high and the mark down is too good to pass up. The fi rst item I put into my shop-ping cart was a good example. It was pajamas by Ellen Tracy (she’s expensive) originally $70 for $21.99. How could I pass up a sav-ings of $48? Never mind the designer brand sleepwear was in a leopard print in purple and lime green and just about the ugliest pajamas I’d ever seen. But in my mind, the $48 sav-ings cancelled out the obnoxious look of them. Besides pajamas are worn in the dark and I did love the feel of the fabric.

The next item that went in the cart was a bath lotion I swear smelled just like a cinna-mon roll. I think I was especially attracted to it because I was hungry and I hadn’t had a cinna-mon roll in years (and won’t in the future be-cause my husband Terry and I are low-carbing it these days). I didn’t stop to ask myself why it’d be cool to smell like a treat, but I’ve no-ticed recently that many toxic-free health care products often smell like some kind of food like lime, caramel, cloves, chocolate, apple sauce or pumpkin pie.

With my hideous nightwear destined to soon smell like the Cinnabon, I rolled into the purse section. I hate my purse. It is truly an old lady purse and I know it. (I probably bought it at Ross ten years ago because it originally cost $200 and I got it for $20.) I found a darling purse I really loved, but the mark down was only 25% off the original price and there was a Louis Vuitton knock off by Huey Vuitton that just didn’t make the mark, so I left them hanging and headed for shoes. To my delight there was a clearance rack. I love to see what’s

on clearance at Ross, because that’s where the price slashings are the best. To my surprise I found some high heels marked down 80% AND they’d go perfectly with my pajamas. How could I pass them up?

I tend to believe that anything we think we want whether it’s a new car, a baked potato or a body lotion that smells like an apple pie, we want it because we think it’ll make us feel bet-ter. It was clear that my selections made me feel better because of price, but that’s all the further the pleasure went. As I headed to the housewares department I looked at my time. I had about ten minutes to check out the linens and cookware shelves before paying and head-ing to chorus. It was while holding a plate with butterfl ies on it that I realized Nelly, my in-ner child, was along. (She loves butterfl ies and dishes.) I was able to tell her to put the plate down because we don’t need any more dishes and it was then that she had a few words to say back to me.

“And you need those God-awful pajamas and high heels to match? And how are you gonna feel after you smear that lotion all over yourself? You’re really walking the line with me cutting out all my goodies because of your stupid low-carb lifestyle and I’m warning you, if you get that lotion and start smelling like a cinnamon roll, I’m going to bake some and you can’t stop me.”

Nelly provided a real wake-up call for me. I hung the P.J.s back up, put the lotion and heels back on their shelves and walked out of Ross about $60 richer than I would have and I won’t be smelling like a cinnamon roll.

Opal Fly and the Electrik Feel Good Cirkus will high-light two days of live music offerings at the sixth annual Arts in Harmony arts and crafts fair scheduled for May 4-5 at Church Park in New Harmony. Opal and partner Fox Fire perform an eclectic mix they have dubbed blue-jazz – a spicy gumbo of New Orleans style jazz, gypsy jazz, rock, blues, dance music, and just about any other genre you can think of. The centerpieces of the ensemble are Opal’s wailing saxophone and the magical fi replay of Fox, who promises to keep audiences spellbound with fl aming ba-tons and other pyrotechnics. Their show is scheduled from

7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday evening, May 4.

Getting the party started at 11 a.m. Saturday morning will be New Harmony’s Harmony Road, (Randy Pease, Jan Mor-ris, Liz Mumford) an acoustic trio which performs a mix of original songs along with pop, folk, jazz, country, and Ameri-cana standards – all in lush three-part harmony.

At 1 p.m., Evansville fa-vorites Andrea Wirth and Melanie Bosza will deliver a set of acoustic pop tunes, with a few of their own tunes sprinkled in for good measure. Posey County’s own Circle of Friends (Charlie Reynolds, Karen Andry, George Sprad-ley et al.) will serve up a plat-

ter of country, swing, jazz, rockabilly, gospel, and pop standards beginning at 3 p.m.

Tales & Scales, Evans-ville’s internationally recog-nized musical storytelling troupe, will entertain at 4:30 p.m. When the sun starts to set, Fox and Opal will begin their spectacular fi re show.

On Sunday, May 5, at noon, the Hilltop Project (Liz and Bish Mumford, family and friends) will open with a menu of Americana, Celtic, and acoustic blues. At 1:30 p.m. Warrick County songwriter Daniel Market will entertain with a set of original songs, some wildly funny, others that will jerk the heartstrings. Rounding out the playbill at

3 p.m. with a bluegrass and Americana set will be Lorna Franke and Backcut.

All musical offerings are free, but donations will be collected to help pay for next year’s music.

Parks Board President Barb McConnell informed the council that approval was given to the Alumni As-sociation’s proposal to build an amphitheater in Murphy Park. The Alumni Associa-tion will need to raise funds for their proposed project.

Tri Kappa and the Parks Board will each spend $750 for safe materials in the playground area. Due to the material’s expense, the two groups agreed to split the total cost.

A foreign exchange stu-dent from the Netherlands, Manon Rinsma, delivered a thesis report on various as-pects of the town. Rinsma is a senior in college and has been conducting interviews in New Harmony for the past two months. She ex-plained her fi ndings based on those interviews with 34 people, some current and some past residents of New Harmony. She noted that many like the town due to its history, and peaceful quality. They enjoy the Red Geranium, shops and the unique Roofl ess Church.

She also inquired about things the town could im-

prove. Among the obvious suggestions of getting the Wabash Bridge fi xed, she also found that many would like the various shops to have similar hours of opera-tion. Many tourists and cus-tomers are frustrated about the varied shops’ schedules.

She added that the town’s youth would like to have more things to do in the eve-ning, a later curfew time and less expensive goods.

Other needs and desires expressed by those Rinsma interviewed included a gro-cery store, more businesses, more trails to walk on and a healthier night life scene.

When she asked the past residents why they moved, they concluded that there was not enough job oppor-tunity and it was necessary to move closer to Evans-ville. The school closure was another reason.

The next regular meeting will be held on Thursday, May 16, at 5 p.m. in the New Harmony Town Hall.

The deadline for submitting applications for the Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award is rapidly nearing. The Award, in the amount of $500, is given annually to a high school ju-nior who resides in Posey County and who is involved in community activities in Posey County. Applications must be postmarked no later than May 3, 2013, for consideration.

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

Funding for the Award was obtained entire-

ly through private donations.An applicant for the Award must be a Posey

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

An organiza-tion may nominate a student for the Award and provide supporting letters, but the nominated student must complete the application.

The Elizabeth D. Baier Youth Spirit Award was given for the fi rst time in 2009 and was awarded to Abbigail Mayer, a student at North Posey Senior High School. The 2010 recipient was Johnathan Bradford, a student at Mount Vernon Senior High School, the 2011 recipient was Jillian Koester, a student at North Posey Senior High School, and last year’s recipient was Maggie Maier, a student at Mount Vernon

Senior High School.The Award for 2013 will be presented at the

United Way of Posey County Leadership Giv-ing Dinner in August.

organizations. Any student wishing to apply for the award may also obtain an applica-tion at the offi ce of the United Way of Posey County, 128 West Third Street, Mount Vernon, Indiana.

New Harmony Annual Spring Clean-Up Day

By Lois Mittino GrayDo you ever wonder

where the money goes when you spend the extra $25 to buy a Kids First personal-ized license plate to sup-port local schools? It goes right into the school coffers as long as you put the num-ber 6590 for Mount Vernon Schools on the paperwork explained Loren Evans, Director of Business and Technology for the Mount Vernon School Corporation at its April 1 Board Meeting.

“We get the money from the state and when it builds up to $1,500 we give it to a building in our corporation in a cycle of rotation”, he said. “Right now Farmers-ville School is spending the license plate money on their students”

He also reported that sealed bids were accepted from Arc Construction and Sterling Boiler for resurfac-ing and repair of the MVHS track. This will also include infrastructure work to cor-rect the problem on the in-side lane and redoing the chain link fence. More in-formation is needed on the different prices so the Board was not ready to take action as yet to approve a bid.

The meeting held on April Fool’s Day, was a produc-tive one as Board President

Kathy Weinzapfel smiled and warned “this is not a fool’s meeting tonight”. Board member Brain Jef-fries was absent due to travel.

--announced there will be an active shooter drill on April 25 at the junior high school during after school hours involving only faculty and staff and not students. There are no activities slat-ed during this time and the neighborhood will be noti-fi ed.

--entered an agreement with Youth First to continue funding programs and ser-vices of the two corpora-tion social workers until May 30. The grant that was paying for their services ran out March 31 and the Board voted not to exceed $7,500 to fi nish up the school year

Board Member Higgins pointed out that any student can use these services, not just special needs students

--adopted a tentative 2015-2016 school calendar acknowledging that snow dates and holidays may change since it is three years off. “We just want to lock in the big dates so families can plan vacations and holiday breaks,” said Superinten-dent Tom Kopatich. School

starts for staff on Monday, August 10 and school bells will ring Tuesday, August 11 for students. The fi rst se-mester ends with a full two week Christmas Break from school dismissal on Friday, December 18 to January 4. Spring Break is March 21 to 28.

--adopted a resolution to refi nance pension bonds through the Indiana Bond Bank. This action should save the district about $250,000 due to lower inter-est rates now available and will not cost anything extra. The bond will be paid off by 2016.

--The board recognized student achievements in girls and boys’ basketball, swim/dive competitions and wrestling this year. The MVHS Dance Cats won fi rst place at the state dance team competition. “We have a large group of students who are so talented and excel in academics and athletics and oftentimes, a mixture of both”, said Kopatich.

--approved travel oppor-tunities for fi ve staff mem-bers and Sunday use of fa-cilities for Mt. Vernon Cub Baseball from April 7-May 12. Student travel on Sun-day April 28 was approved for MVHS DECA students going to California and art

students to Tennessee.The Board asked Ko-

patich to arrange for both groups to report on their trips at a May meeting.

--entered into a one year agreement with Brown and Brown of Indiana as a group consulting fi rm on health insurance, not to exceed a fi xed fee of $24,000. Board Member Nelson asked if this money could be re-couped in potential savings and was assured of that with employees getting the ben-efi t of this consulting work.

--approved reports and meeting dates. The next meeting is Monday, April 15 at 5:45 p.m. in the Mount Vernon Junior High School Library. The meeting sched-uled for Monday, May 20 was changed to Tuesday, May 21 so board members could attend a Spring Re-gion 9 ISBA meeting in Huntingburg. June 4 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. was set as an all day board workshop at MVJHS.

By Lois Mittino Gray Black Township Trustee Lindsay Suits is

ready to roll in making the new police and fi re station a reality within approximately seven months. She presented a timeline in her report at the April 18 Mount Vernon Board of Public Works meeting which ten-tatively sets January 14 of next year as the completion date for the shared public safety project.

Black Township donated $400,000 for the station and they now have $129,788 left. The site at 311 College Avenue, the former Dausmann Motors Building, was purchased for $223,830 and outstanding taxes were paid on it. The property will be quick deed-ed to the city for $1 and Suits said it will be “all Mount Vernon’s very soon.” Monies were also paid to Pyramid Engineering for design and planning work to total an expen-diture of $270,211.22 to date.

Final approval of the project is scheduled for April 25, with project bidding to begin May 1. Board member Bill Curtis stated At-torney Beth McFaddin Higgins is review-ing the paperwork and will be getting back with him, probably within two weeks so these dates are tentative. He added that by next week a fi nance package prepared by accountants Umbaugh and Associates of In-dianapolis should be ready. He believes the

city will be looking at a 5-, 10-, or 15-year bond issue to raise approximately $650,000-$700,000.

Curtis said things appeared to be going smoothly and that as soon as “we get the bid packages, we hope to get the benefi t of the good weather and start the remodeling.” He speculated that it should be a seven-month project.

Suits stated she is very excited about the project and glad they’re all working togeth-er. She commended Curtis for his time and effort and said he is amazing to work with and thanked him and the Board.

In other board action:--Fire Chief Wes Dixon requested ap-

proval for himself and fi remen Matt John-son and Ryan Harms to attend a three-day course ‘Critical Incident Stress Response’ The course, taught by Lt. Baker of the In-diana State Police, is eight hours each day on May 3-5 at the Four Seasons Motel. The Board approved $125 apiece for the cost of the course. Dixon said it was a good deal because they will get two certifi cations out of it and there are no travel expenses since it will be held in town.

--Sewer Supt. Rodney Givens stated liens have been fi led on delinquent sewer bills and to date $8,539.27 has been collected. Seventy certifi ed notices were sent out and

57 are now collected. Board member Bill Curtis replied that any collection agency would be thrilled with that kind of response. Givens also said that Kieffer has turned over paperwork for review concerning the land next to the sewage plant that should be con-sidered in case an expansion of the plant site is required.

--Mayor Tucker stated that street depart-ment claims are piling up since Street Com-missioner Roy Maynard resigned. Assistant Street Commissioner James Miller was giv-en authorization to sign claims.

--Board member Steve Fuelling pre-sented a request from Dennis Noon to close the riverfront Sunday, May 12, for a 4 p.m. Mother’s Day Wolfgang concert at the am-phitheater. He requested Water Street be closed between College and Mulberry the night before to keep parking spaces avail-able for the concert the next day. The Board moved to put up barricades Saturday night until 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, provided that the Mount Vernon Boat Club will let boaters use their facility that day to launch.

The old home of Dausmann Motors in Mount Vernon became one step closer to becoming the new City Hall to house the Mount Vernon Fire and Police Departments.

In this day of high technology I like to think of myself as somewhat up-to-date with the modern world. This week I have been proven wrong on this topic more than once. I will confess that I use my Iphone 5 all the time and would be totally lost without it. It is my ‘one touch away’ from texting, emailing, Facebook-ing, Googling, playing games, etc., etc.

When it comes to texting I think I do a pretty good job at it although I have been known to text the wrong person now and again. I guess my biggest goof in that area is when someone sends out a group text and I respond not realizing I just texted everyone who was on the original text. Yeah, that can get a little uncomfortable!

Along that same line this week I had been texting someone who was going to do some work for Dave and I on a rent house we own. A little later I got a text that was clearly for his girlfriend and not for me. I didn’t even respond to that, I thought that was best left alone. Yeah, that was a bit uncomfortable!

I have on several occasions sent pictures or texts to someone’s home phone number for those of my friends who still have a home phone. I had dinner with a friend Friday night and asked her what she thought of the picture I had sent her earlier that week. She said she didn’t get a picture. When she didn’t respond I figured she was busy or didn’t want to be bothered. I proceeded to try to pull it up and prove her wrong only to find out I sent it to her home phone. Yeah, that was a little uncomfortable!

What really got me thinking about this

texting thing this week though was last Monday night, tax day, I sent a text to my son and it said ‘Call Me.’ This time of year he puts in a lot of 12-hour days and sometimes even longer. I sent this text at about 9:15 p.m. my time which is 10:15 p.m. his time. He

immediately called in a very sleepy voice and said “what’s wrong?” I said “nothing’s wrong I just wanted to let you know that the accountant had to file an extension on your taxes.” He said “you need to learn how to text. I thought

something was very wrong or something bad had happened.” Yeah, that was a little uncomfortable!

On Friday I had another episode with abbreviations. I work in a department of six underwriters and my manager. The youngest is 22, then two more in their mid 20s, a 31-year-old and then 49 and then me at 52. My boss is 30ish. That puts the average age at around 35. To say that they keep me young in thoughts and happenings in an understatement. We were having a staff meeting and one of the 20ish-year-olds was talking and kept saying he was going to have a CONVO. I thought why in the world he is going to have a convocation with one of our lenders. Finally I asked him and he laughed at me. He said I needed to get up to date on my text abbreviations. He said that meant he was going to have a conversation with a lender.

I decided to Google texting abbreviations so that I could get on the same page with the rest of the world. The Internet site I found had a list so I immediately hit the print button not paying attention to how many pages. I

figured I would take this to work so I could get it correct the next time. My printer ran out of paper and after reloading it I now have 38 pages of abbreviations, to be more exact it says 1,378 of them. I am good to go.

Let me give you a few examples of what you might receive from me going forward:

DS (Dear Son)AYT (Are you there?)SUP (What’s up)CM (Call me)NMJC (Nothing much just chillin)TTYS (Talk to you soon)OrDH (Dear Husband)

WWU2 (What are you up to?)NMU (not much, you?)I found it took a lot longer to look up all

of these abbreviations than it would if I just typed out all of the words.

Here’s a little test to see how good you are with those abbreviations. Next time you see me you can ask me what it says if you don’t know.

?4UUOKPLMKGOLBut for now, I have other things to do.

TTYL (Talk to you later)

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

Gavel Gamut’s: ‘To Be or Not To Be’

Guest Column State Rep. Wendy McNamara

WRITER / REPORTER

LOIS GRAY

In recent months, gun mak-ers have become the target of misguided state and federal regulation. Most of these cor-porations have been around for many years, some even hundreds of years. They are part of the fabric of America. Yet those in Congress and the White House, and even some in state and local govern-ments, have sought to place stringent regulations on these independent employers.

Here in Indiana, we rec-ognize that the right to bear arms is a fundamental part of American tradition. Our legislature favors the Second Amendment. Our business environment is growth-cen-tered and lowly taxed. For all those reasons, I believe

Indiana is the right place for these corporations to relocate should new regulations make their current homes unwel-coming in the future.

Several of my Senate col-leagues and I recently au-thored Senate Resolution 61, which invites arms manufac-turers to relocate to Indiana. This $33 billion industry could provide scores of high-paying, high-skill jobs for our state at a time when many Hoosiers are still looking for work. The average salary for these precision engineering jobs is about $48,000.

Not only do these compa-nies develop jobs, they will also spur the Hoosier econ-omy. These manufacturers are traditionally nationally

focused enterprises that stay in the United States and do not outsource jobs elsewhere. They will provide products to the commercial market, as well as supplying state law enforcement agencies and fulfi lling military defense contracts. In Indiana, arms manufacturers would also be able to collaborate with Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center’s world-class, state-of-the-art center for special operations weapons, ammu-nition and related compo-nents.

All these qualities make Indiana and this specialized industry a perfect fi t. I have no doubt that both our state and these manufactures could benefi t from this partnership.

Guest Column State Sen. Jim Tomes

When the full House Chamber meets during ses-sion, our days usually begin the same way. We welcome a new pastor each day to offer an invocation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

After the pledge, represen-tatives have the opportunity to present resolutions, which are an excellent way to rec-ognize constituents for great achievements (e.g. a high school team winning a state championship, like I did for Mater Dei Girls’ Basketball Team, or for honoring local Hoosier Veterans like Jim Davis of Mt. Vernon). Reso-lutions are also great for rais-ing awareness about illnesses and the people that are af-fected.

Recently, I offered a reso-lution to raise awareness about Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a genetic and life-threating disease that causes chronic hunger and affects muscle tone, stature and sexual development. This

syndrome affects about 1 out of 15,000 people. While the disease is very rare, it can af-fect anyone.

Mickey Phernetton, daughter of Evansville police offi cer Patrick Pherntton and his wife Lisa, suffers from PWS. I was honored to of-fer a resolution in the House to promote awareness about PWS and bring Mickey and her parents to Indianapolis to receive the Resolution.

My resolution was a call to action for government of-fi cials, businesses, health care professionals, educators and communities to continue our strong commitment to advancing awareness of and fi nding a cure for Prader-Wil-li Syndrome.

According to the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association USA, PWS is the most com-mon known genetic cause of life-threatening obesity. The Prader-Willi Syndrome As-sociation is an organization dedicated to raising aware-

ness and offer support and education to families affected by PWS. They also advocate, promote and fund research to enhance the quality of life of everyone affected by PWS.

Patients with PWS often have social and motor diffi -culties. The major life-threat-ening element of PWS is the compulsive eating and obses-sion with food, which occurs before the age of six. This physiological urge to contin-ue eating can cause the child to have delayed development and life-threatening obesity.

I was happy to share Mick-ey’s story with the rest of the Legislature. Please visit the Prader-Willi Syndrome Asso-ciation USA’s website http://www.pwsausa.org to learn more about PWS. For Mick-ey and all others who suf-fer from PWS, I encourage everyone to do their part by being advocates of this cause and making others aware of not only the syndrome, but the people it affects as well.

Raising awareness about Prader-Willi Syndrome

This is the week a jury composed of members of the Posey County Bar Associa-tion will decide if the town of Mc Faddens Bluff will oper-ate under a gun control ordi-nance that requires citizens to possess fi rearms. If you at-tend the Law Day Celebration in the courtroom of the Posey Circuit Court the morning of April 23, 2013, you may lis-ten to arguments pro and con on this issue.

Posey County high school students will be debating the merits of the ordinance. North Posey teachers Mr. Kuhn and Ms. Parrish have worked with their student attorneys Cody Devine and Kayla Hoenert who will argue for passage

of the pro-gun measure. Mt. Vernon teacher Ms. Steinhart has been helping her student attorneys Maggie and Torsten Maier develop a defense to the proposed law.

Posey Superior Court Judge Brent Almon will pre-side over the trial. At the conclusion of the case the stu-dents will have an opportu-nity to ask Judge Almon and the real attorneys questions

about legal procedure and the applicable law.

The ordinance, the evi-dence, the witnesses and even the locations involved are fi ctional, but the issues are as timely as Newtown, Con-necticut and Boston, Massa-chusetts. Several American towns and even the United States Congress are discuss-ing ways gun violence and gun protection can be harmo-nized.

Law Day is a celebration of the Rule of Law over anarchy and despotism. For hundreds of years fi rearms have been an integral part of these com-peting issues. The Mock Trial is free and open to the public. You are invited.

Greetings from your new Keck Gonnerman Association president Andy Glines.

Brian (Pierce) started out the last newsletter by writing “I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather we’ve had for the past few weeks.” Well, I’ve had about enough of the cool-er weather by now and I’m ready for things to warm up a bit.

There was another great turnout for the Christmas Party. As always, we had good food, good auction and great fellow-ship with club members. Thanks go to the party organizers/decorators, auction donors, and our auctioneer John Pate for making the night a success.

We held elections at the January meeting new offi cers are, Secretary Ron Siers, Treasurer Dave Morlock, and President Andy Glines. Bill Esche is staying on as Vice President. Thank you to departing offi cers, Brian Pierce, Don Julian, and Dennis Herrmann. A Board of Directors election was also held and Dave Morlock will be replacing Don Julian on the Board.

The KG tractor drive will leave from Harmonie State Park at 9 a.m. on April 20. Tractor drive participants get into the park for free. Please unload at the swimming pool parking lot. A fried chicken lunch will be served for $4.50. Check in with Dennis Herrmann before the drive so that he will know how much chicken to order. Attendees will provide the desert so bring something good!

Dave Morlock and Marwin Hein have corrected the grounding issues inside of the block building and are work-ing on adding receptacles to the outside. Improved electrical service will make this a much better spot for our fl ea market vendors. The lean to addition on the east side of the saw-mill building has been laid out and list of materials has been made. Stay tuned for info on building day. Note: We need large posts suitable for attaching guardrail to for the tractor pulling track. Job Opportunity: Sarah Pierce has been doing a wonderful job of managing our Flea Market and food ven-dors. It’s time to make this a two-person job. Sarah needs help taking care of the food vendors at the KG show. Please contact Sarah Pierce if you can help. WANTED: We need

logs to saw at the Posey County Fair and at our show in Au-gust. We are also looking for a culvert pipe for a new drive-way in our parking area at plow day.

By Dave PearceThe North Posey Lady Vikings got a rare

opportunity this week. Early in the week, they got to see just how far they have come as they near the mid-point of the season. They Lady Vikings thumped Princeton 8-0 with the one-hit pitching of Hailee Elderkin and some impressive defense behind her.

On Friday night, the Lady Vikings got an opportunity to see not only how far they have come, but how far they have to go as the undefeated and fourth-ranked (in Class 4A) Central Bears took a 2-2 game and blew the Lady Vikings out of the park with a combina-tion of power, precision, and some help on the part of the Lady Vikings by committing errors.

Early in the week, it looked like the Lady Vikings might not be able to play the game that had been scheduled. The Lady Tigers’ bus arrived nearly an hour late but the Lady Vikings were waiting…patiently.

But the sophomore Elderkin would get into some early trouble. In the top of the fi rst, she yielded a walk and a hit batsman, rarities ac-cording to North Posey Coach Gary Gentil.

“If you look back over the year, Hailee had given up very few walks and I can’t remem-ber when she ever hit a batter,” Gentil said. “I think some of it might have been nerves and then there was the fact that the girls sat here for almost an hour waiting on them. The game got a late start.”

But the sophomore pitcher gave up only one hit on the night, and that came with one out in the top of the seventh inning. The Lady Tigers have been known as a good hitting team coming into the game. They were 4-2 entering the contest.

In the bottom of the fi rst, lead-off hitter Kelsey Owen fell behind 1-2 but battled all the way back to draw a walk on nine pitches. The Princeton hurler found out there would be no easy outs at North Posey on this night.

Owen was bunted over to second and scored on a Taylor Patton single.

Elderkin sat Princeton down 1-2-3 in the second inning and her team provided her a little insurance in the bottom of the inning as, with two out, Anna Will struck for a single and Haylee Harness reached on an error. Courtney Crowder then fl ied deep to right but with the wind, the fi elder dropped the ball allowing Will to score.

Princeton had its closest thing to a threat in the top of the third when, with one out, the Princeton batter appeared to turn into a pitch that was on the inside of the plate but the umpire ruled it was a hit batsman. She stole second. The next batter smacked a ball right at Harness, who was playing in at third for the bunt but she fi elded the ball,

looked the runner back, and made the throw to fi rst. The inning ended when the next bat-ter grounded to second and the throw came to Amy Brandenstein at fi rst. Bandenstein alertly saw the runner on second attempting to take third on the throw and threw a per-fect strike to Owen, who was covering, to end the inning.

In the bottom of the third, Patton led off with a single and Brandenstein bet out an in-fi eld hit. Designated Player Taylor Franklin then doubled over the center fi elder’s head scoring Patton. Catcher Megan Baehl then reached on a fi elder’s choice as Branden-stein was forced to run into an out at home plate. Baehl stole second before Princeton escaped, trailing only 3-0.

The Tigers went down in order in the top of the fourth and again, the Vikings were up to their old tricks.

With one out, Crowder drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch and Owen lined a shot that ap-peared to be over the center fi elder’s head. She managed to get a glove on it but was un-able to make the catch. Maddie Elpers then emptied the bases with a double and the Vi-kings were ahead 5-0.

After a walk, Edlerkin faced only four batters in the top of the fi fth.

The Vikings would ring up three more runs in the bottom of the fi fth as Patton and Baehl had back-to-back singles. Harness then laced a pitch right at the shortstop who could not make a play and that left the bases loaded for Crowder.

Crowder stepped to the plate and lined a double to the center fi eld fence for three RBIs.

“I think Courtney got every ounce of weight and strength she had into that hit,” Gentil said of the small-statured Crowder.

The Tigers got out of the inning on a pair of long fl y balls but were never able to gen-erate any offense of their own.

The win left the Vikings 5-7 heading into a game that probably should have been called due to wet fi eld conditions at Central on Friday evening…at least the Lady Vi-kings probably felt like that.

“It is good for us to play the very best competition we can play at this point in the season,” Gentil said of the game with the highly-touted Bears. “It can’t do anything but make you a better team down the road.”

And while the Vikings were able to hang with the Bears through the fi rst three in-nings, the Lady Bears went on to take a 12-2 decision over the Lady Vikings.

The Vikings were scheduled to host a very solid Heritage Hills club on Monday before hosting North Knox on Wednesday and traveling to South Spencer on Friday.

Lady Vikings beat up on Princeton, fall at Central

Wildcat baseball continues to roll, moves to 10-1

By Steven KocherspergerMomentum is a key aspect of any baseball

season and in the last few weeks the Mount Vernon baseball team has kept the momen-tum of winning going. Mount Vernon lost only once this season and has been winning all year long in convincing fashion. This past Monday the Wildcats hosted Big Eight Con-ference foe Boonville Pioneers and needed that momentum to overcome the visitors. In the end the Wildcats were victorious once again beating Boonville 5-2.

The game began in a strange way as the Pioneers scored the fi rst run. With a man on fi rst base the Boonville pitcher came to the plate doubled into the gap scoring the fi rst run. The pitcher tried to make it to third base though and was called out when the Wildcat defense threw him out. The Pioneer pitcher got up from third base with a fi nger injury and never had the chance to throw a pitch from the mound.

The Wildcats struck back in the bottom of the fi rst inning when Trevor Veeck hit into a fi elder’s choice that scored Mount Vernon’s fi rst run and tied the game. The Wildcats would get two more runs in the third, one in the fi fth, and one in the sixth behind the hit-ting of Trevor Veeck, Drake McNamara, and Austin Krizan to beat the Pioneers by three runs.

Veeck not only helped the Cats with his bat but also pitched well enough to get the win on the mound as well. Veeck early on had trouble hitting his spots but seemed to consis-

tently get the Boonville players out when he needed to end the inning despite their threats to score.

This was the tenth win for the Wildcats this season while they only have the one loss on their record. It’s something Wildcat coach Paul Quinzer is happy about but he still sees lots of areas of improvement for his team.

“We’ve had a nice start to the season but we still have a lot of work to do,” Quinzer said. “We still have a few positions yet to fi ll or fi gure out. Our pitchers are throwing well and Hank Dausman has been released from the DL, so that should make us stronger on the mound. My biggest concern is hitting. We have had some timely hits and decent run production, but we are going to need to hit the better pitchers coming up on our sched-ule. When we have faced a two-pitch pitcher with control, we have struggled. So, that is why we have 28 games. We are just trying to continue to get better each game so we are at our best by the end of April.”

The Wildcats were to play the very next night at Bosse but were rained out and await being rescheduled. The ten wins for Mount Vernon continue their great season and they continue to look ahead through their sched-ule.

The Cats will play this week a few times beginning Tuesday at home against the Princ-eton Tigers. They then will play at home Wednesday against North High School be-fore traveling to Washington Saturday to take on the Hatchets.

Quinzer knows team still has long wayto go, looks for continued improvement

By Dave PearceWhile the North Posey

Lady Vikings were busy putting away the fi eld in the North Posey Invitational on Saturday, down in the south-ern end of the county, the Mount Vernon Lady Wild-cats were doing the same in their own invitational.

The end results of these tournaments could make this year’s sectional a very inter-esting one for Posey County schools.

This week alone, the Lady Vikings dominated poten-tial sectional foe Evansville Central while easily out-slugging Evansville Reitz at the Viking Invite. That leaves Mount Vernon, who the Lady Vikings fell to due to an injury earlier this month. Liz Watlavik is out of the season after injuring her knee in one of the fi rst points of the match. In ten-nis, there is no substituting once the match has begun. Mount Vernon won that match 3-2.

By Steven KocherspergerThe Mount Vernon girls’ tennis team hosted a four team invitational on Saturday and

walked away the clear winner. The team racked up enough points to beat the other oppo-nents to continue their great tennis season.

Mount Vernon ended the day with a total of 20 points to be crowned the winner of the Mount Vernon invite. Heritage Hills ended up in second with 12 points while Boonville and Wood Memorial ended up in third and fourth place on the day.

In number one singles Wildcat Claire Schroeder defeated Meli Ochs of Heritage Hills 6-1, 6-0 before going on to the championship matchup with Boonville’s Miren Bontigui. Schro-eder had no trouble whatsoever with Bontigui defeating her easily 6-0, 6-0.

The same seemed to be true with number two singles as well. Mount Vernon’s Sara O’Neil defeated Heritage Hills’ Allison Baron 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 before doing the same to Wood Memori-als’ Shelby McGregor in the championship matchup 6-1, 6-1.

The day continued to roll along for the Wildcats as Hayley Salaman put up another im-pressive showing for the home team. Salaman defeated Sam Callahan of Wood Memorial 6-0, 6-0 moving on to the championship in number three singles. Salaman defeated her op-ponent in the championship round 6-1, 7-5 to help Mount Vernon take the sweep in singles.

The Invitational was not only great in singles for the Wildcats but also in doubles. Wild-cats Livia Hopper and Zoe Burkhart defeated their Heritage Hills foes 6-0, 6-2 placing them fi rmly in the number one doubles championship match as well. They took on Abbi Gober and Ashley Johnson of Boonville and won easily 6-2, 6-1.

And with everyone else winning their matchups Mount Vernon’s Devon Allyn and Megan McCarty looked to do the same. They defeated their opening opponents from Wood Memo-rial 6-4, 6-1 and continued to roll in the championship round as well. Allyn and McCary beat Heritage Hills number two doubles team Kailee Taylor and Megan Boehm 6-2, 7-5 to give the Wildcats the sweep in doubles and the invitational as well.

The tennis team continues to roll through their season and is piling up impressive wins. And though there is a lot of season to be played, the Cats are exactly where they want to be in this part of the season.

The girls’ continue their season this week by playing at Washington Tuesday before re-turning home Thursday to take on Evansville Central. And if the fi rst part of the season is any indication, success is going to continue for these hard working Lady Cats.

Wildcat tennis takes Mount Vernon Invite tennis tourney title

By Steven KocherspergerThe Mount Vernon track

team hosted the Princeton Tigers in a dual meet two weeks ago on Tuesday af-ternoon. And for the girls’ team it could not have gone any better. Not only did the Wildcat girls’ team win in convincing fashion but a school record was set as well in the 400 meter re-lay. The girls followed that performance this past week with a trip to North Posey and came away winners once again.

The 400 meter relay team of Zoee Brown, Ellen Fos-ter, Savannah Bush, and Abby Randall set the new school record with a time of 51.56. This is very impres-sive considering that the track and fi eld season has just gotten underway and it usually takes athletes a little time to build up to their best times. But the relay team peaked at just the right time to set the record against Princeton.

The Wildcats swept the

relay races against the Ti-gers and continued their great day in all running events. Sophomore Kel-len Ray won the 110-meter hurdles race with a time of 18.2 just ahead of team-mates Amanda Duckworth and Madison Simpson. Ray later won the other hurdles race, the 300-meter hurdles, to add to a very impressive day for the Wildcat runners. Freshman Savannah Bush won the 100-meter dash and went on to help the re-lay team before winning the 200-meter dash with a time of 27.5. Hadlee Whoberry won the 800-meter run just ahead of teammates Toni Waddell and Montana Ea-ton while senior Lauren Stemple placed fi rst in the 400-meter dash just ahead of her teammate Stefanie Bulla. The longest race of the evening also went to the Wildcats as junior Mack-enzie McClarney fi nished just ahead of teammate Ka-tie McDonald to win the 3200-meter race and the

track meet in general.The fi eld events also went

well for the Wildcats. The Wildcats swept the long jump as Ellen Foster won the event with a distance of 15’9. Savannah Bush and Stefanie Bulla placed sec-ond and third, respectively, in the same event. Foster also placed second in the high jump just behind Princ-eton’s Jackie Young.

In the discus Mount Ver-non racked up more team points as Cheyenne Strobel and Kaysie Collins placed in second and third. The same was true in the pole vault as Wildcats Maggie Maier and Madison Simp-son also fi nished in second and third place.

Altogether it was a great dual meet for the Mount Vernon girls’ team. The girls beat the Tigers with a total of 105-27 to continue their season in style. The Wild-cats took that momentum to North Posey and walked away a winner once again with a score of 82-24.

It was really more of the same in the results for the Cats. December Davis won her shot put event against the Vikings with teammate Kaysie Collins coming in second behind her. The win over the Vikings helps the Wildcat team to continue their great run to begin the year.

The boys team also came out and did well against the North Posey Vikings. The boys team ran well and also had a great showing in the fi eld events to help Mount Vernon defeat North Posey 74-27. Mount Vernon’s re-lay teams swept their events and that seemed to spill over to other running events as well. Junior Dane Wilson won the 1600-meter race with a time of 5:00 with teammate Luke Rusher right behind him. Wilson went on to also win the 3200-me-ter race with a time of 11:25.

Wildcat Austin Stallings won in the discus while Austin Guthrie continued his great year on the hurdles

with a win in the 300-meter Hurdles.

Their run continues this

week as they compete Fri-day and Saturday in the Mount Vernon Invitational.

The University of South-ern Indiana baseball team got back on track with a doubleheader sweep of 16th-ranked Lewis University, 4-3 and 15-8, Sunday after-noon in Romeoville, Illinois. USI goes to 24-15 overall and 14-14 in the GLVC, while Lewis falls to 25-7, 19-5 GLVC.

The Screaming Eagles rallied from a two-run defi cit and held on in the seventh inning to defeat the Flyers, 4-3, in the opening game.

After Lewis built a two run lead with tallies in the fi rst and second inning, USI cut the defi cit in half in the fourth inning when fresh-man fi rst baseman Andrew Cope (Evansville, Indiana) knocked in senior designat-ed hitter Brent Weinzapfel (Evansville, Indiana) with a two-out single.

The Eagles took com-mand in the sixth inning when Cope struck again by driving a two-run double off the fence with two outs to give USI a 3-2 lead. Weinza-pfel drove in the eventual winning run in the seventh with a sacrifi ce fl y that gave the Eagles a 4-2 lead.

In the top of the sev-enth, the Flyers loaded the bases against USI starting right-hander Matt Bowles (Mt. Washington, Indiana).

Senior left-hander Adam Carver (Arthur, Illinois) re-lieved Bowles and walked two batters, allowing the Flyers to cut the Eagles’ lead to 4-3, setting the stage for junior right-hander Brandon Shaw (Cuba, Illinois). Shaw saved the USI victory by the getting the fi nal out for his team-best fourth save of the year.

Bowles (7-3) went 6.2 innings to pick up his team-best seventh win of the year. He allowed three runs, two earned, on fi ve hits and four walks, while striking out fi ve batters.

In the nightcap, senior third baseman Reece Round-er (Evansville, Indiana) was six-for-six, stole three bas-es, drove in four runs, and scored four more to lead the

Eagles to a 15-8 victory. Rounder led a USI offen-

sive attack that jumped out to a 7-0 lead with two runs in the fi rst inning, three more in the third, and two runs in the fourth. USI pounded out a season-best 21 hits in the nightcap victory.

By Dave PearceThe North Posey Viking

baseball team broke through for seven runs in the fourth inning Tuesday night to pull out a 7-2 Pocket Athletic Conference victory over the Southridge Raiders. North Posey sent 13 men to the plate, pounding out 5 hits, during the decisive frame of a contest shortened by rain in the bottom of the sixth in-ning.

Senior Kyle Voegel got the inning started by reach-ing on a Raider error. Jacob Bender followed with a sin-gle and after Alec Werry was hit by a pitch Colton Martin put North Posey ahead with a two run double. Junior Christian Jones laced a two - run single to extend the Vikings advantage. The Vi-kings also received singles from Reed Gerteisen and Nick Heldt during the in-ning.

Prior to their fourth inning tallies North Posey had been held in check by Southridge pitching. Sophomore Jacob Brewer retired the Vikings in order in the fi rst and third innings and then used a caught stealing to end the second inning with no dam-age being done.

“I thought our hitters were patient enough at the plate to allow us to gain an opportunity in the fourth to score some runs,” comment-ed North Posey coach Kevin Smith. “We were able to get some timely hitting and stay disciplined at the plate when we needed to. Our pitching was outstanding, staying away from the middle of the plate.”

Werry picked up his fi rst win by tossing 4 2/3’s in-nings, while scattering seven hits and fanning three Raider hitters.

On Monday evening the Vikings used a tenacious of-fensive attack to claim a 23 – 4 win at Evansville Bosse. North Posey scored in each of the fi ve innings played, while accumulating 23 hits in the process.

The Vikings scored eight times in their opening frame. Senior Alec Werry, junior Reed Gerteisen, and sopho-more James Marshall each had two run doubles during the uprising. Jacob Bender, Kyle Voegel, Colton Martin and Ryan Gish added sin-

gles for the winners. North Posey added four runs in the second, third, and fourth in-nings, while scoring three times in the top of the fi fth.

Junior catcher Ryan Gish went 3 for 3, adding three runs scored for North Posey. Gerteisen was 3 for 4, with 4 RBI’s on the night. Mar-shall, Christian Jones, Voe-gel, Bender, Werry, and Nick Heldt each had two hits.

Sophomore hurler Derek Lindauer earned the victory by allowing only three Bull-dog hits. The sophomore struck out two in three in-nings of work.

Saturday the Vikings trav-eled to Floyds Knobs to face undefeated Floyd Central (14-0) and took the host Highlanders into the bottom of the seventh before falling 3 – 2.

After Floyd Central had taken a 2 – 0 lead in the bot-tom of the third North Posey came back to knot the score in their half of the fourth inning. Alec Werry started the Viking rally with lead-off single and came around to score on Colton Martin’s triple. Tyler Stolz followed by driving in Martin with a base hit.

The Vikings had opportu-nities to break the tie in each of the fi nal three innings, but could not plate a run. The Highlanders scored the win-ning run with one out in the seventh on a bases loaded single through a drawn in infi eld.

“I was pleased with how we competed against Floyd Central,” Smith said. “Of-fensively, we had our op-portunities, but we could not get the hit we needed to take a lead. Defensively, we committed some miscues on plays that should be made every time and that allowed them to take the lead ini-tially. Our pitching battled out of trouble in fi ve of the seven innings we played to allow us to have an opportu-nity to win. All – in – all we gave Floyd too many free bases to overcome.”

Voegel took the loss in relief of Tyler Stolz. He also led the Vikings at the plate by going 2 for 3 on the day.

North Posey will host Gibson Southern on Tues-day, April 23, Tecumseh on Thursday, April 25, before traveling to Mount Carmel and Tell City on Friday and Saturday respectively.

The North Posey ju-nior varsity baseball team opened their 2013 season with two huge offensive outputs while claiming vic-tories at Evansville Reitz and Perry Central. The Vi-kings scored early and often in routing the Panthers 13-1 on April 4 and two days later repeated a similar feat in downing Perry Central 18-1.

North Posey pounded out 15 hits against Reitz, while plating at least one run in each of their fi ve at – bats. Sophomores James Mar-shall and Derek Lindauer

led the offensive output with a pair of doubles apiece. Marshall was 2-for-4, with three runs scored and an RBI in the contest. North Posey’s Zack Carl went 2-for-3, with fi ve RBIs, while teammate Da-mon Cardin was 2-for-4 with three runs driven in.

Lindauer tossed four in-nings, limiting the Panthers to one hit, while striking out fi ve to earn the victory.

At Leopold, on April 6, North Posey wasted no time in getting on the board as they tallied eight runs in the top of the fi rst to put the

game away early. Sopho-more Damon Cardin drove in three runs with a 3-for-4 offensive day that included a double and a triple. Dylan Wright scored three runs, while going 3-for-5 at the plate, with three doubles in the Viking victory.

North Posey also had three hits apiece from Carl, and Lindauer, while Mar-shall and Griffi n Wiethop added a pair of hits to the 18-hit attack.

Carl picked up the win for North Posey by limiting the Commodores to one hit and striking out fi ve batters.
