The Posey County News ~ March 29, 2011 Edition

By Pam Robinson“My whole clown life has been

a conspiracy,” jokes trained clown Dave Ritzert, a native of Parker Settlement.

In September 2000, a co-worker at Keller-Crescent finally convinced him to attend the local clown school sponsored annually by Evansville’s River City Clowns. By January 2007, Ritzert was helping to teach a clown class at the school.

As his bumbling buddies had hoped, he started clowning around with one of his students, Vi Bark-er. Dave aka Wul-Wee and Vi aka Baggy Geenz soon became an item, often performing together. One thing led to another until the couple exchanged marriage vows in a special ceremony held January 9, 2010.

Dave waited for his bride in his almost yard-long green and white clown shoes as she walked down the aisle in her signature orange Converse tennis shoes. Clown nos-es were nestled in the bouquets of the matron of honor and the brides-

APL Book Sale postponedThe Friends of the Alexandrian

Public Library has made the deci-sion to postpone their bi-annual book sale, a key fundraiser that helps pay for extra services at the library, slated for Saturday, April 9 and Sunday, April 10 until further notice. This event has been postponed, sadly, due to the limited number of books donated to the organization to make the sale the large-scale event the public has come to expect.

Instead of the book sale, the library will host a silent auction Friday, April 8 and Saturday, April 9 from noon to 5 p.m. The auction will feature framed posters that formerly hung in the meeting rooms and surplus furniture and technology from the library.

Book donations will continue to be accepted at the library in the hope that the Friends will be able to offer a book sale later in the year.

The Friends regret any incon-venience this may have caused.

By Dave PearceIt is the meeting that many Posey County

residents have been waiting for.Tonight (Tuesday) at six o’clock at the Posey

County Community Center at the Posey County Fairgrounds, interested residents from northern Posey County and from the St. Philips/Marrs Township area will gather.

Residents from both portions of the county will hear for the first time, along with Posey County officials, the results of an independent study conducted by Ludwig and Associates. The results of the meeting will suggest the best place to station the county’s third ambulance.

The study cam about as the result of “Con-cerned Citizens of Northern Posey County” who sent representatives to the Posey County

Commissioners and Council meetings. The group learned that the Posey County Emergen-cy Management Services had moved the ambu-lance that had been housed in Poseyville to the Marrs Township/St. Phillips area for at least a portion of the week.

Residents of northern Posey County feel that because of their proximity to hospital care and the fact that Interstate 64 runs through that end of the county, they should continue to have 24/7 ambulance service. Residents also have mentioned that the number of businesses and school students in the area provide excellent reasons to keep the ambulance in Northern Posey County.

But Marrs Township Fire Chief Larry Schenck also appeared before county officials

and indicated that because of the growth in the area between Mount Vernon and Evansville, they should be provided better ambulance cov-erage. Schenck indicated that Marrs Township Fire Department is considering purchasing its own ambulance.

According to Posey County Commission President Scott Moye, a time has been set aside to allow public comment following the an-nouncement of the results of the study. Moye said that a time limit will be set to allow resi-dents to express their opinions and concerns.

“We will learn the results of this study at the same time other residents of Posey County learn the results,” Moye said. “We are in the process of preparing an agenda to help the meeting run smoothly.”

Ambulance study results meeting is tonight

Wul-Wee and Baggy Geenz (aka Dave and Vi Ritzert) give each other a clown-sized Eskimo kiss dur-ing a date a few years ago. The River City Clowns couple was married on January 9, 2010.

Clowning around leads to permanent duo

By Dave Pearce“Livin’ the dream”It’s a phrase you hear frequently but usually not meant to be taken liter-

ally.But for Mount Vernon High School graduate Isaac Fuelling, he will get

the opportunity to live his dream for real as he was sworn in as a Posey County Sheriff’s Deputy on Monday evening in Mount Vernon.

For the 24-year-old Fuelling, this is the only job he ever wanted. As a matter of fact, he took a year off from school and joined the National Guard as a military police officer in 2006 in order to gain more training for a position such as the one he started on Monday. Although it will take him five years total, Fuelling will soon complete his bachelors degree in criminal justice with a minor in sociology.

“This started a long time ago. I can remember when my Uncle Andy (Baldwin) was a Mount Vernon Police officer and I got to go ride in a parade with him and I thought that was just the coolest thing in the world,” Fuelling said. “This is a dream come true for me. This is what I have al-ways wanted to do in this county.”

So much of a dream, in fact, that Fuelling has been doing essentially the same job for free for the past two years. He signed on as a reserve deputy in 2008. A reserve deputy has nearly equivalent powers as a deputy except they volunteer their time. Fuelling has spent countless hours in uniform when needed at special events such as the Posey County Fair, basketball games, and in certain emergencies.

Although Fuelling will be new on the payroll, he obviously will not be new to the ways and qualifications of the department. He has already trained in firearms qualifications as well as in traffic stops and self de-fense.

By working for over two years free for the department, Fuelling feels like he has earned a shot at being a full-fledged officer and is grateful to incoming Sheriff Greg Oeth for giving him the opportunity.

“I have known Mr. Oeth for a long time and I have been friends with his kids and I crossed my fingers and did my best at what I was doing hoping this opportunity might come along,” Fuelling said. “I just always thought if I kept doing what I was doing I might get a chance at a job. And this means the world to me. Not very many people can say that they got their ‘dream job’ but I am one of those people.”

But Fuelling is aware that besides the sacrifices he has already made, there will be plenty of sacrifices to come in the days and years ahead.

“I know it is going to be a different lifestyle than most people are ac-customed to and I am going to have to get into a police officer mentality,”

By Dave PearcePosey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers has an-

nounced that two arrests have been made as the result of an investigation involving the Mount Vernon Street Department.

Cody R. Davis, 22, of 830 E. Sycamore, and Timmy Burnett, 21, of 931 E. Water Street, both of Mount Ver-non were arrested and made initial court appearances early this week.

According to Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant, he investigation was initiated after Street Department Chari Roy Maynard was checking into discrepancies in receipts for gas purchases in his department.

According to the arrest warrant, the pair, who were working for the City of Mount Vernon through a tem-porary agency, “between Sept. 1, 2010, and Jan. 31, 2011, did knowingly exert unauthorized control over a property of the Mount Vernon Street Department (a

credit card and/or gasoline).”The warrant went on to say that the suspects had

used the card and/or gasoline for their personal use.Maynard reported that gas cards No. 5 and 55 had

been set up to purchase fuel at Heritage Petroleum. The cards went missing in late January or early February.

During questioning, according to the arrest warrant, Davis admitted to putting fuel into his personal vehicle using the street department’s card and Burnett “further admitted that he at times would meet other persons at the gas pump and would fill up their vehicles using the street department’s credit card without permission and that he, at times, charges those persons $5 to $10 each time he would provide them with gasoline.”

According to the arrest warrant, the cards had been used some 48 times and had racked up a total of $2,110.17 in unauthorized purchases.

Both were arrested and released on bail. Timmy Burnett Cody Davis

He graduated from Indi-ana State University; taught industrial arts, fi rst at Koko-mo and then at New Harmo-ny School for fi fteen years; and worked at GE Plastics for twenty years. He was mechanically gifted, could fi x almost anything, and was always prepared to do so with a number of small tools that he carried in his pockets. He left the classroom, but he never stopped teaching. At GE, he reduced volumes of technical jargon to step-by-step directions when the lines were computerized. His co-workers greatly appreciated his skill and dedication. He was honored with several awards and credited with one patent for reducing the appearance of ripples in a thermoplastic extruded fi lm. Both as a teacher and GE employee, he was concerned with safety and served for years on GE safety com-mittees. He read extensively, retained and shared what he learned with others.

Sam Tate

like he has earned a shot at being a full-fl edged offi cer and is grateful to incoming Sheriff Greg Oeth for giving him the oppor-tunity.

“I have known Mr. Oeth for a long time and I have been friends with his kids and I crossed my fi ngers and did my best at what I was doing hoping this opportunity might come along,” Fuelling said. “I just always thought if I kept doing what I was doing I might get a chance at a job. And this means the world to me. Not very many people can say that they got their ‘dream job’ but I am one of those people.”

But Fuelling is aware that besides the sac-rifi ces he has already made, there will be plenty of sacrifi ces to come in the days and years ahead.

“I know it is going to be a different life-style than most people are accustomed to and I am going to have to get into a police offi cer

mentality,” Fuelling said.And with Fuelling’s love for the job, he

knows that whenever the time comes to choose a mate, she is going to have to accept him for the person he is and for the profession he is in. He’s been dating the same person since October and is excited that she knows what the job entails and is excited to see him get it.

Isaac is the son of Tony and Leann Fuel-ling of rural Mount Vernon. He has two sis-ters, Ashton and Hope. Isaac is the oldest of the three.

“When I fi rst wanted to do this, my parents weren’t too crazy about the idea,” Fuelling said with an infectious smile. “But as time went on and they saw I was serious about it and they saw that this was what made me happy. Now they are thrilled for me that it is fi nally coming to pass. They just want me to do well with it and be successful.”

Clowns, from Page 1Amaids. Beyond that, the tomfoolery was sus-pended at the wedding, for example, with the couple wearing no clown makeup.

“Wul-Wee and Baggy Geenz are not getting married,” Dave had emphasized to the offi ciating minister, a long-time friend. “Dave and Vi are getting married.”

Needless to say, the couple remains in-separable. They could be spotted clowning together just a couple of weekends ago at the inaugural Johnnie Sue’s Lace Up Against Cancer 5K Run/Walk. After all, their mutual passion for clowning sparked their love for one another.

Their clowning takes them all over the Tri-State to at least one charitable event ev-ery weekend. That schedule doesn’t include paid performances for, say, birthday or busi-ness parties. They manage this schedule while both holding down full-time jobs. Dave has been in maintenance with Keller-Crescent for the past 24 years. Vi has been the administrative assistant at the training center for Evansville’s Union Electricians No. 16 going on eight years now.

They’ve slowed their pace since Dave suf-fered a heart attack, just 14 days after their wedding. Before that, Dave was the most

active of the River City Clowns. He thought nothing of clowning 500 hours a year dur-ing his fi rst three years as Wul-Wee.

The couple can talk for hours about the history and antics of clowns. They will tell you, for example, that clowns are known in-ternationally as “Joey’s,” (not to be confused with Australian kangaroos) in honor of Joey Grimaldi, the 15th century court jester who fi rst used stage makeup when performing.

Much of their talk focuses on the annual clown school, where they both got their start, sponsored by River City Clowns. This ten-week course teaches students every-thing from applying makeup to developing a clown persona to choosing a name. The graduation date becomes the clowns’ “birth-day.”

Although clown school is out for this year, Dave will be happy to talk with anyone about the profession. He can be reached at 812-455-9608. Otherwise, those interested may call River City Clowns at 1-800-490-9360 and leave a message, whether about clown school or about engaging clowns to perform at an event. River City Clowns may also be contacted by e-mail at [email protected].

By Pam RobinsonOnce again this year, the Women’s Fund

of the Posey County Community Founda-tion, or PCCF, is offering us the opportu-nity to honor the special women who have inspired and nurtured us—whether mother, grandmother, godmother, aunt, sister, teach-er or friend. The Women’s Fund is now ac-cepting donations (in any amount) as tribute or memorial gifts to recognize these loved ones.

The deadline for making gifts is Monday, May 2, to ensure honorees receive recog-nition by Mother’s Day Sunday, May 8. Checks made payable to the PCCF Women’s Fund along with recognition information may be mailed to Posey County Commu-nity Foundation, Old National Bank Build-ing, 402 Main Street, P.O. Box 746, Mount Vernon, Ind. 47620. Donations may also be made online at the PCCF website, www.poseycommunityfoundation.org, where all honorees will be listed by name.

Once devoted to helping women and girls, the Women’s Fund highlights its change in focus in its new mission statement: “. . .supporting programs that give opportuni-ties, encouragement, knowledge and hope to women and children in Posey County.” All Posey County children, male or female, under the age of 18 are now included in the outreach of the Women’s Fund.

Last year, the Women’s Fund awarded over $6,000 for the following programs: WNIN career exploration for Girl Scout troops in Posey County; St. Peter’s United Methodist Church women’s health screen-ings; West Elementary’s American Girl reading program and Girl Power program; Willow Tree’s work in the prevention of do-mestic violence; and Farmersville Elemen-tary’s Girl Power program.

The Women’s Fund grant cycle ends the fourth Tuesday in July. This year, that date is July 29. Grants are distributed every Oc-tober at an awards luncheon.

The Working Men’s Insti-tute will be holding it’s fi rst Our Town Coffee Hour at the WMI. In the past, the Our Town Coffee Hours have been held at various places in the community. But now with the new elevator op-erational, Our Town Coffee Hours will be held in at the WMI. (Please note that the handicapped accessible rest-room is not yet available.)

The subject of the Our Town Coffee Hour is New Harmony in the Civil War. It will be held on April 12, the 150th anniversary of the fi ring on Ft. Sumter and the beginning of the Civil War. The coffee hour will be held at 10 a.m. Refreshments will be served.

Over the next few weeks, this article will highlight as-pects of our community’s in-volvement in the War of the Rebellion. Considering New Harmony’s unique history, it is no wonder that the town made an important contribu-tion to the war effort.

First and foremost, through out the duration of the war, New Harmony men answered the call to arms. In total 173 New Harmony men are listed in Posey Troops 1861-1865 : an Indiana Border County in the Great Rebellion. They served in at least 20 different Indi-ana units. Nineteen died in the War and three were dis-

charged due to injury. They were all heroes.

Still not all heroes wore uniforms. Mrs. Truscott left New Harmony and traveled as a nurse for the Twenty-eighth Regiment First Cav-alry. While Richard Owen was promoted to colonel and recruiting is own company, Robert Dale Owen was giv-en the job of purchasing sup-plies for the soldiers. From great coats and blankets to rifl es and bayonets, it was his job to get soldiers supplied as quickly and cheaply as possible with a good product that would stand the stress of war.

But as important as that job was, Robert Dale Owen is remembered for even a greater contribution. During the dark days of 1862, Presi-dent Lincoln was beset on all sides with enemies. At war with the South, he had to bat-tle factions in the North that were not pleased with the handling of the war. One of the great debates of the day was whether to emancipate the slaves or not. Obviously since the slaves were held in the South, the Confederates would heed no proclamation made by a northern presi-dent. Yet many argued that it was the right thing to do from a moral standpoint and an act to honor the memory of so many who had already died for the cause.

And so it was in the fall of 1862, our sixteenth president struggled with this issue. On Sept. 19, 1862, a letter from Robert Dale Owen was placed in Lincoln’s hands. Owen spoke for the Eman-cipation Proclamation. His arguments were eloquent, logical and forceful. Three days later, President Lincoln read the Emancipation Proc-lamation to his cabinet.

The following excerpt is a sample of Owen’s persua-sive power.

“It is within your power at this very moment not only to consummate an act of enlightened statesmanship, but, as the instrument of the Almighty, to restore to free-dom a race of men. If you are tempted by an imperishable name it is within your reach. We may look through the ancient and modern history, yet scarce fi nd a sovereign to whom God offered the privi-lege of bestowing on human-ity a boon so vast.”

On Feb. 9, Tercera met at the home of Melissa Rynkiewich with Mary Beth Williams as co-host-ess. The program was a Soup Dinner, and every-one was asked to bring food items for the food pantry, Gods Store House. Delicious soups with all the trimmings and dessert were served. It was moved to award two $750 schol-arships to North Posey High School this year. The club members also decid-ed to send $150 to Gods Store House.

Beginning next weekend, the “tourist” sea-son starts in New Harmony with the doll lov-ers coming to town. Heritage Week and the Plein Air Paint Out will follow the week of April 11, and we’re off and running for what we hope will be a great year with lots of visi-tors to New Harmony.

It’s a sun-shiny day, today, and a perfect time to think about a spring clean up. I hope the weather holds for our “Clean Up the Hill” get together at 4:30 p.m. (Tuesday, March 29) to pick up the trash that accumulated on South Main Street during the winter months. We’ll work from the Maple Hill Cemetery parking lot up the hill on both sides of the road until

we get to Highway 69.If you can help us for an hour, more or less,

just show up at the Maple Hill Cemetery park-ing lot. We’ll be walking, so wear comfort-able shoes and long pants to keep from get-ting your legs scratched. Scott Champlin will provide security, Andrew Wilson is having a dumpster delivered, Tom Smith will haul our fi lled trash bags back to the dumpster, and if you arrive late, just wait at the Cemetery park-ing lot and someone will pick you up and pro-vide transportation up to the area where we are working.

Should there be inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled.

Tourist season begins with clean-up

By Dave PearceWhile most of what went on at Tuesday’s

Posey County Commissioners meeting con-sisted of routine matters, those in attendance did perk up a little when Greg Wathen and Debbie Bennett-Stearsman took the podium.

The pair was on hand to give commission-ers an update on progress being made. Wathen is president of the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana and Debbie Bennett-Stearsman is the vice president of community development for the grant-writing group.

While the report was essentially the same one given at the annual Chamber meeting just a week earlier, the group did report there are several larger companies looking at Posey County now, primarily because of the port and because of the county’s infrastructure.

According to the report given by Michelle Hudson at the Chamber meeting, companies with a total of as many as 2,000 jobs are cur-rently considering Posey County as a possible home. Most of the companies are manufactur-ing companies.

In other business:•Sherry Willis, representing Mount Vernon

Mayor John Tucker, was on hand to ask com-missioners to help determine what should be done with properties that have been left un-kept and have outstanding tax bills that are worth much more than the properties them-selves.

Willis told the group that the city continues to clean up the properties several times a year

and the charges continue to mount against the properties. However, many of the properties have been put up for tax sales multiple times but did not sell because of the amount of un-settled tax debt that would be facing a poten-tial buyer.

Commissioners tabled her request to look into legalities regarding what to do with such properties.

•Willis also asked permission from the commissioners to hold a paper shredding day again this year on the Posey County Court House parking lot. The date would tentatively be May 7 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Permission was granted with the stipulation that proof of insurance would be provided by the city.

•Bennett-Stearsman informed commission-ers that the Wabash Levee Project Grant had been approved in the amount of $1.5 million. Originally, the application had asked for $3 million but due to required matching funds, the amount had been reduced. This grant is being done in conjunction with Gibson Coun-ty.

•Sharon Carr appeared before the commis-sioners requesting repairs to a boiler, currently leaking, at the Posey County Courthouse. The group decided to take the low bid of $2,032 from Industrial Contractors. Bids were also submitted from J.E. Shekell and Trane.

•Building Commissioner Ed Baettnger re-ported that progress continues to be made at the site of Twin Lakes Mobile Home Park. Mobile homes are being disassembled and removed from the park.

Owensville Alumni Banquet to be held April 3

The New Harmony Plein Air Paint Out is sponsoring two Artist Workshops in con-junction with the 13th An-nual “First Brush of Spring,” which runs April 14 through April 16. Beginning on Mon-day, April 11, acclaimed In-diana artist, C. W. Mundy, will conduct a fi ve-day workshop, “Still Life Paint-ing,” beginning at 9 a.m. at the Rapp-Owen Granary.

Mundy ranks among the most important American im-pressionists painters, today. No matter the subject matter, be it a battle-scarred work-ing fi shing boat in Glouces-ter Harbor, a petite ballerina executing a graceful pas des deux, a delicate pink vase in a structured still life, or a moody English landscape, Mundy’s aggressive, often

soft-edged painterly style is very much his own.

Born in Indianapolis, Mundy received his under-graduate degree in art from Ball State University and his Masters of Fine Art at Long Beach State in Los Angeles.

Over the years he has re-ceived numerous awards from his participation in both regional and national juried exhibits, including the pres-tigious Hoosier Salon. He was awarded the honor of Signature Membership in Oil Painters of America in 1993. Most recently, his plein air landscapes done in France, Italy, Spain, New England and most recently, Martha’s Vineyard, have received crit-ical acclaim.

Mundy’s work is displayed in the Indiana State Museum, Naismith Memorial Basket-ball Hall of Fame, South-ern Alleghenies Museum of

Art, Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, the University of Louisville Hall of Fame and Indianapolis 500, as well as many private and corporate collections.

A four-day workshop, “Plein Air Painting in Provence,” will be taught by Todd Williams and begins at 9 a.m. on Monday, April 11, at the Barn Abbey in New Harmony.

Todd Williams was born in the small farming com-munity of Central City, Ne-braska. Since his childhood, he has been aware of the natural beauty of the world around him, an awareness that he continues to cultivate through his art of painting. After studying painting and illustration at the Kansas City Art Institute, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Williams went on to be an in-house se-

nior artist/designer for Hall-mark Cards and DaySpring Cards.

Today, Williams excels in his ability to paint all sub-ject matter using spontane-ous brushwork and creative virtuosity. Most of the time, he can be found en plein air. Through this discipline he has found his own recogniz-able voice, which is now be-coming his signature style.

Williams’ work has been exhibited across the U.S. in gallery, museum, and invi-tational exhibitions, such as the Gilcrease Museum, the Great Plains Art Museum, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Settlers West Gal-lery, The Maynard Dixon Museum, Cincinnati’s Great American Artists Exhibi-tion, and the Oil Painters of America National and Re-gional Exhibitions, where he has been honored with the prestigious status of Signa-ture Member.

Registration for the fi ve-day C.W. Mundy Workshop is $750. The four-day Todd Williams Workshop is $400 for members of the Hoo-sier Salon or Indiana Plein Air Painters Association (IPAPA), and $450 for non-members.

To register for the work-shops, call the Hoosier Salon at 317-253-5340, or register online at www.hoosiersalon.org. More information about the instructor/ artists and their works may be found on their websites at www.cw-mundy.com and www.tod-dwilliamsfi neart.com.

Now in its 48th year, the high school art show, pre-sented in partnership with the Evansville Museum Guild, continues the tradi-tion of honoring young art-ists from our region. Stu-dents currently enrolled in Grades 9 through 12 in public and private schools in Vanderburgh, Warrick, Pike, Posey, and Gibson Counties in Indiana will enter work in the categories of paint-ing, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, photography and commercial design.

The March 17 – April 17 Old Gallery exhibition will open to the public on Fri-day, March 18. Volunteers from the Museum Guild and Museum Docent Associa-tion organized 805 entries for review by this year’s ju-ror, Brian Lee Whisenhunt, Director of the Swope Art Museum in Terre Haute, In-diana. 111 works were cho-sen for the show.

Since becoming the tenth executive director of the

Swope Art Museum in June 2008, Whisenhunt has con-centrated on refi ning the Museum’s exhibition sched-ule, public programs and community profi le. Whisen-hunt received his Master of Arts degree in art history from the University of Okla-homa and wrote his thesis on earthworks, large-scale sculpture in the landscape from the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Roman, an Evansville resident, made a visit to the Capitol to serve as a legislative page, where he worked with senators and Senate staff, observed the introduction of bills, listened to debates and delivered important mes-sages. “This visit gave Roman the opportunity to dive into the legislative process and experience my day-to-day work as a state senator,” Tomes said.

Community Good Friday Service April 22

By Pam RobinsonSavah native Traci Hoehn

is excited about her return to Posey County to serve as di-rector of children and youth services for First United Methodist Church, or First UMC, in Mount Vernon. Hoehn has been acting as youth minister since the be-ginning of February.

“The kids are so won-derful,” the Mount Vernon High School graduate says. “I’ve never met a group of kids—from elementary school to junior high to se-nior high—that are so dedi-cated to learning about God and so dedicated to living God’s love in the commu-nity. I just can’t say enough good about them.”

Living God’s love in the community is the focus of the youthful Hoehn, the daughter of Paul and Ja-net Hoehn of Mount Ver-

non. After high school, she studied at the University of Evansville, or UE, and earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in theological studies. She credits her UE professor and mentor, Dianne Oliver, with encouraging and inspiring her in her theological stud-ies.

From UE, she moved into social work for a year with Evansville’s Ireland Home-based Services. The experi-ence fueled her passion for work with youth.

“I got to see many chil-dren who were disadvan-taged,” Hoehn says. “It was a real eye opener for me, having been raised with a very loving family and wonderful parents, to see how some children are not fortunate in that way.”

She then spent two years at Vanderbilt University in

Nashville to complete the master of theological stud-ies with an emphasis in so-cial justice and Holocaust history before coming to First UMC.

“I fi rmly believe that ac-tivism and changing all the awful things we see in soci-ety starts with children and with youth,” Hoehn com-ments.

The youth at First UMC provide a case in point for her beliefs. Hoehn notes that they work hard with-out complaining in their service projects. She com-mends both the elementary children who spend Sunday afternoons cleaning at the Posey Humane Society and the teens who pick up trash along the Mount Vernon riv-erfront.

“I really believe in the power of youth in lead-ing a movement, as cliché

as it may sound, to make the world a better place,” Hoehn says. “I really want to enable them and let them know that they have the ca-pability to change things.”

The summer youth ac-tivities at First UMC bring even more excitement. Hoehn highlights vacation bible school, church camp, the Ichthus Christian Music Festival—and, grandest of all, their U.S. mission trip.

She invites youth through-out the area to join First UMC youth on Sunday eve-nings for their weekly meet-ings. All guests are wel-come, even those devoted to their own church home. Elementary-age children gather from 4 to 5:30 p.m. with junior and senior high school youth meeting after-ward from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

First United Methodist Church is located at 601

Main Street in Mount Ver-non. For more information about their children and

youth services, call Hoehn at 838-2640, or visit the website at www.fi rstumcmv.

Did you know that one child every 30 seconds dies from the disease Malaria on the Conti-nent of Africa? An organiza-tion called NETwork against Malaria is trying to do some-thing to stop all of the dying.

This organization provides nets for families to put around the children’s bed. Each net can protect three children at a time. The nets are treated with a special substance to repel the mosquitoes. The cost of one net is $10.00.

The organization survives on fundraisers and donations. After watching a video about NETworking against Malaria the fi fth grade class from St. Wendel decided to adopt this cause as their world service project. During the school year the class has held a cou-ple of different fundraisers. One activity was sponsoring a hat day where the students can

pay $1. Before Hat Day the fi fth graders went to each class and talked to them about Ma-laria and how it kills so many children each day. The rest of the school got the message because we took in just over $200. Many students donated more than the $1 required. The class also sponsored a second fund raiser.

The students made a St. Wendel School fl eece blanket and then raffl ed it off during Catholic Schools’ Week. The students raised enough money to buy 21 nets. Because of the efforts of both fundraisers the class has the potential of sav-ing 120 children’s lives.

Service projects are not the only thing that keeps the 5th grade busy. They have been studying about the differ-ent genres in Literature. The students have read the books individually, as a class, and

in literature circles. The last genre the students read was biography. These biographies were about Americans who played an important role in the making of the Constitution. The class will be reading a play about Fredrick Douglas.

Excitement is mounting for our Civil War unit. This unit will be taught in collabora-tion with the righth grade. Mr. Watkins, their social studies teacher, and Mrs. DeWolf, the fi fth grade social studies teacher, will team teach this unit. The unit will begin by having a participant in Civil War reenactments coming and presenting a program to the two classes.

Overall it has been a great year for the fi fth grade. We have learned much and we have worked hard to achieve our class motto: Striving to do our best.

MVJHS to perform Sleeping Beauty April 19

Many exciting projects, opportunities, and contests have been part of the month of March at St. Wendel School.

The month began as stu-dents in Grades 1 – 4 were delighted to receive their new desks and chairs, pro-vided by the school’s PTO. Replacing the desks origi-nal to the building was both memorable and historic! As Grant Schneider said, “I can’t believe we fi nally have new desks! Now we can be the fi rst to use them and they have no marks or words on them, any where. The new design helps me organize my things better! This is so cool!” This completes the original plan of replacing all the old desks in Grades 1 – 8 with up-to-date sitting ar-rangements. The old desks are being offered to parish members as a fi rst come, fi rst serve basis. Donations are being accepted when in-dividuals pick up the desk furniture.

Service projects continue in many of the grades. “Mak-ing a Difference” in the lives of those around us, is our school diocesan theme. With two recent visits from our parish military service members (Private 1st Class Jacob Seibert and Senior Airman Aaron Will), stu-

dents in Mrs. Dyson’s class know they make a positive difference. Both men vis-ited with the students in 4th grade to say, “Thanks!” for all of the support from back home. Knowing that some-one is thinking about them, by sending care packages and letters, means so much to these men. The 4th grade and Mrs. Dyson appreci-ate these service members taking time to stop by their school and classroom, and wish them all the best in their endeavors.

The Math Bowl team, led by Mrs. Jane Herr and Mrs. Amanda Randolph, met dur-ing January through March to prepare for their compe-tition on March 10th. The team competed in Class 2 of our region and took home a 1st place. Each member of the team received a gold medal for their near perfect team score (24/26). Later, the team found out even more great news, they placed 2nd in the state of Indiana, in their class! Aubrey Dyson, a 6th grade team member said it well, “We couldn’t have done it without terrifi c coaches and great team sup-port! I’m proud of all that we’ve accomplished!”

Students in Grades 5 – 8 worked diligently on their annual drama production

during the months of Janu-ary and February. Mrs. Jes-sica Wade, the school drama coach, and Mrs. Shirley Cle-ments, the music teacher, conducted try-outs for the production. The cast was de-cided and individuals began working on their lines. The set was designed and painted by some of the actors and actresses on weekends and after school. Meeting many times, each week after school, paid off when they presented their musical, “Bugsy Ma-lone, Jr.” on March 17th – 18th. St. Wendel’s drama club members and the 5th – 8th grade music students didn’t let those in attendance down. This year’s produc-tion showcased their many talents, yet again! Students portrayed their characters with much creativity. The ar-tistic background scenes set the mood. Musical talents were showcased throughout the production. Many stage crew members made the production run smoothly. What great talent we have in these students! Many thanks goes out to Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Clements, the students, and all who helped support the drama production in some way this school year. We are very blessed to have these people as part of St. Wendel School.

Spring’s fi nally here, and across rural Indiana that means that the annual FFA chapter banquet season can’t be far behind. At these banquets, FFA members, parents, friends, and community supporters will gather to recognize and celebrate members’ and chapters’ achievements, leadership and growth of the past year.

One highlight and long-standing tradition of many of these chapter banquets is hearing a keynote speech by one of the state’s seven FFA offi cers. This year’s state president, Morgan Dawson from Scottsburg, can’t wait to get started.

“Since I’ve been in FFA, I’ve come to love the banquets—I think they’re awesome!” said Dawson. “I enjoy public speaking and I’m really excited to have the opportunity to share a few of my thoughts. I’m looking forward to attending a number of the banquets.”

This year’s national FFA motto is “Infi nite Potential,” and Dawson’s speech, “Invest—Don’t Spend,” ties in nicely.

“I think a lot of us get caught up in just ‘spending’ our time and money, when instead we should be ‘investing’ it,” said Dawson. “For example, when we’re talking with someone or sharing some time with them, are we just spending time, or are

we really investing in them and what’s best for them?”Speeches by other offi cers include such topics as: “Look at

Life Differently;” “Mastering Fears—By Valuing Challenges, Moving Emotions, and Expediting Fear;” “Perspective—Keeping it in Perspective;” “How to Achieve What You Want;” “Imagination—Find the Imagine You Once Lost;” and “Make Every Moment Count.”

Keynote speeches by state offi cers are a popular item at many chapter banquets, and are arranged by invitation. The banquet season runs from mid-March through mid-May, and the offi cers try to attend as many as they can. Dawson will be attending 7 to 10 banquets, as will her six fellow offi cers.

Financially supporting the offi cers’ touring circuit this year will be farmer-owned cooperative CountryMark.

“We see great value in what FFA does for its members, our communities and the future of the agricultural industry,” said Jon Lantz, CountryMark Vice President of Marketing. “FFA provides technical training, motivation and the opportunity for members to hone their agricultural skills. With the values they have and the training they possess, it is exciting to imagine where these blue jackets and gold leaders will take our industry in the years to come. Sponsoring the state offi cers at chapter

banquets is also an excellent complement to the involvement many CountryMark member co-ops have with their local FFA chapters across the state.”

CountryMark recently hosted the state offi cers at its India-napolis offi ce.

“With the state offi cers, we shared CountryMark’s agricul-tural heritage, provided them an overview of what the company stands for today, and our vision of where we hope to take our farmer-owned oil company in the years to come,” said Lantz. “We sincerely enjoy the opportunity to introduce our company to these enthusiastic and optimistic young leaders. Each year when we meet with the state FFA offi cers, they ask great ques-tions and are always eager to dig into the issues that impact our industry and the lives of our customers.”

Dawson, who plans to attend Purdue University next year to study ag sales and marketing with a minor in international ag studies, said that CountryMark’s sponsorship was invaluable.

“Both CountryMark and FFA were started by groups of indi-viduals who saw a need and did something about it,” said Daw-son. “Our organizations have a lot in common, and we’re very thankful for their sponsorship.”

Anthony Robles just sounded the death knell to plausible deniability. I could usually fi nd an avail-able excuse to avoid exer-cise or work around JPeg Ranch before Mr. Robles. It might have been raining. A must see ballgame was on television. Or, perhaps, an old football injury appeared when needed. There was al-ways a way to assuage my conscience, until Anthony Robles came along.

Two years ago Mr. Robles placed fourth in the nation in college wrestling. Then last year he placed seventh. I do not know why those accomplishments should not have been enough for

anyone. But, oh no, not for Mr. Robles.

This week he won the NCAA college champi-

onship in the 125 pound weight division. He wres-tled for Arizona State Uni-versity. I watched the match in complete awe.

Wrestling is one of those activities that separates the wheat from the chaff. There’s no where to hide on

that small mat and anything less than total effort is ap-parent.

I do not know much about the sport of wrestling. But I have long recognized that it brings out much of what’s good. One on one, similarly sized, similarly aged, com-petition under rules as ap-plied by neutral referees.

It requires stamina, strength, strategy and cour-age. It is very much like another sport I know a little about, boxing. That may be why wrestling impresses me.

When someone enters the boxing ring or walks out onto the wrestling mat, the excuses we might get

by with generally no longer suffi ce.

That is why when I watched Anthony Robles win the national champi-onship I knew my days of comfortably avoiding un-pleasant but necessary tasks were numbered.

Wrestling and boxing re-quire superb balance among many other skills. So when Mr. Robles, the 22 year old college champion, had to leave his crutch on the side-lines and hop one legged onto that national stage, I was amazed he could even remain upright.

As I watched the match on television between Rob-les and another fi ne college

wrestler, I paid close atten-tion to the scoring. No spe-cial rules or dispensations were made. Anthony won a tough match with skill, strength and, most impor-tantly, character.

Anthony Robles was born with only one leg. I guess he has failed to no-tice that minor difference.

Or, at least, he has never felt the need to use that as an excuse.

As for me, in spite of several previously perfectly plausible explanations to Peg as to why the garage did not need to be cleaned out, I am going to put down my pen and pick up a broom. Thanks a lot, Anthony.

TRUTH...STRANGERTHANFICTIONBY DAVEPEARCE

GAVELGAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

In a letter to the Evansville Courier published March 24 Bar-bara Quant questions who represents Indiana workers? Well, I would like to respond to some of her comments in this article.

First of all she states that the current protest observed in our Indiana Statehouse are "rhetoric and bluster". Excuse me, but I personally would not label a peaceful demonstration fi ghting for a right to "collective bargaining and an anti right-to-work-state" anything but a duty. When a select group of individuals are threatening a current way of life and your family's future, it is time to make a stand.

The letter questions whether hard working, tax paying citi-zens like labor unions,teachers unions,and other government workers are actually Indiana workers. I submit to you that they are very much a representation of the middle class in America and Indiana workers. She tries to attach a numerical fi gure to these people by quoting "workers who make up less than 25% of the workforce".

It is not the percentage of the overall workforce that is sig-nifi cant here, it is a compilation of the contribution that these members make to our society that is important. As a past member of the Building Trades in the state of Indiana, I can assure you that these individuals are responsible for erecting and maintaining our schools, hospitals, generating stations, manufacturing,businesses and industrial base that has made America the great country that we are today.

The general public has no idea of how hard these people work

and the elements they have to fi ght, and the very unpleasant working conditions that are a part of their daily life in the Build-ing Trades. I personally do, and many others like myself have worked in 120 degree heat index or 50 degrees below zero with rain and snow for 10-12-16 hours a day. I am quite sure that the person who wrote this letter has not walked a 6 inch I-beam at 350 feet in the air on top of a Ggenerating Station , packing 50 lbs. of tools with you, climbing everywhere your required to be,risking life and injury, because there are no stairways yet in place, realizing the unpleasantness of using porta-poties in summer heat and winters cold and the list goes on. She thinks these people are overpaid, I say walk a mile in their shoes.

The teachers and government workers referred to in the letter may not have to endure the elements of the before mentioned positions, but they have made their sacrifi ces too (long hours, budget constraints, under staffi ng, supply shortages, etc). Bar-bara Quandt states that the unions "collect wages and benefi ts at the expense of the real middle class", Real Middle Class ...really. I fi nd that statement almost laughable. These are the "real middle class" and they deserve the opportunity to negoti-ate through Collective Bargaining to try and maintain a middle class way of life.

It is obvious that the author represents the business side of this equation (she is the Indiana state director of the National Federation of Independent Business). As a past President Iron Workers Local 103 in Evansville Indiana I have negotiated

with the business representatives in this process. I know fi rst hand how this process works . I am not saying that the unions are the answer to all the problems that face working America, they have their negative side as do the business position.

I have negotiated contracts where I have had a Business Agent who is supposed to have been supporting the mem-bers position and he was more concerned about the business position. Collect Bargaining is not perfect , but it is the best platform currently for both sides to sit down and air their sides grievances in a civil atmosphere. Why should that opportunity to debate the issues be denied them?

The Right to Work issue is a no-brainer from my perspective. The facts are that this act will lower wages substantially, re-move safety and health standards, and make less revenue avail-able for spending in businesses throughout the community. I have the unique perspective of having been in business, served as a County Commissioner, worked in a non-union and a union background, so my opinion is not biased one way or the other.

This protest is much larger than union vs non-union, it is an "all out attack" on working people all over America and their way of life. Corporate funded movements and all the "greed" that comes with it have put working Americans in the sorry state of affairs we fi nd ourselves today.

Randy ThornburgPast President of Iron Workers Local 103 Evansville,

Ind.

To: Mr. Steve Schenk, Posey County Highway DepartmentPlease accept this most recent commendation from me on

behalf of your people for the great service they performed for my family. This service is related to the recent installation of a new culvert at our residence. As you know the culvert I purchased from Southern Indiana Drainage was delivered and properly installed by your people. I am very grateful for the great work they did on our behalf and on behalf of some of our neighbors whose drainage also runs through this cul-vert.

I would further like to make the following comments about their service to us. The services they each provided to us are likely to be consistent with their daily work habits.

Bettye Moore and Tamyra Wolfe have consistently been courteous and helpful, beyond my expectations, in every communication experience I have had with them over the telephone.

Roy Neaveill visited our residence within hours of my

initial telephone conversation with you on March 14, 2011. He quickly assessed the situation and developed a mutually agreeable action plan to solve the damaged culvert problem near the eastern edge of our property. I must say the team’s completion of this task, within one calendar week from our initial call to you, exceeded my expectations of your orga-nization.

Tommy Neaveill’s displays of appreciable knowledge, hand signal and sighting skills in communicating with the equipment operators, and a willingness to lead by personal example were clearly evident in this wonderful team accom-plishment.

Beyond the normal, coordinated duties that Dan Adamaitis likely performs at each work site, he made the extra effort to clean out our drain tile standup in an effort to provide the best possible experience for us. He also was especially courteous to me during the completion of this work assignment.

I very much enjoyed observing Gary Schmidt manage his

portion of the work. He used his machine with such skill and care that it seemed to me to be as easy for him as one might experience in combing their own hair. Clearly his many years of experience using the equipment paid time effi cient dividends for the team in this notable effort.

Jeff Toelle worked diligently in the culvert installation and in the application and repositioning of other materials at the worksite. I also noted his desire and associated dedication in performing his duties well and effi ciently. His attention to detail during this task was especially very much appreci-ated.

Good things happen when good people choose to work together. Please place a copy of this letter of commendation in the personnel fi les of all employees that participated in this solution.

Best regards to all of you, Appreciative Posey County Resident, Dennis (Denny)

Bloodworth

Commendation for high priority, quality service rendered, again

Right to Work not the right direction for Indiana

For years, I looked forward to March Mad-ness. It was a time when we could all talk about who was going to win ballgames and eventually win a national championship. I al-ways looked forward to it because it was the last of the most pure form of the game.

But over the past few years, March Madness has made me open my eyes to the reality that despite the glam-orous side we see on televi-sion, there is a dark side that only occasionally makes the news. As I have grown older, I have realized that there are so many people who do not want to play fair. Every coach has his own “system.” How far we have ventured away from the original game.

Half-way through the season, who would have thought that of all the teams in the coun-try, tiny Butler would return again to the Final Four of the sport? Who would have guessed that Indiana heavyweights Purdue and Notre Dame would stand by the wayside and watch as again, The Horizon League would send a team to the Final Four.

But as I prepare to watch next weekend’s Final Four, it takes me back to the time when I realized the truth about fi shing. As a child, I always dreamed of going to a country pond and attempting to outsmart the fi sh. When one unsuspectingly took the bait on my cleverly-concealed hook, I had won the battle and had outsmarted the fi sh. That was fi shing in it’s truest form. By today’s standards, you aren’t fi shing if you don’t have a $30,000 boat with four depth fi nders, three fi sh fi nders, a 150-horse motor, 15 rod and reels, and a collec-tion of 400 lures in a recently stocked lake. That’s not fi shing…that’s assault.

But basketball, like hunting and fi shing, has also changed. People stock lakes with huge fi sh and then attempt to “catch” them. Oh, there can be some enjoyment in that but

the true joy of fi shing is picking out an old country pond or lake and using a cheap rod-and-reel or a cane pole and catching enough fi sh to have a fi sh fry and doing it on your own.

Hunting is the same way. The defi nition of hunting over the years has changed drastically for me. People now buy or grow animals and put them in an area and “hunters” now pay big mon-ey to go in those areas and

shoot the game. That’s not hunting. Hunting is going to a place where you are not sure there are really any bear and fi nding one and taking it home. Anyone can shoot a squirrel in a cage.

March Madness has turned into pretty much the same…Madness. Conferences such as the Big East have 16 or 18 members and 11 of the 68 teams in this year’s fi eld are from a single conference. And a few mem-bers of the coaching profession have remind-ed us again that they don’t want to play by the rules, our area’s beloved Coach Bruce Pearl being one of them. I guess the part that makes this one particularly hard to swallow was the fact that while an assistant at Iowa, Pearl was a whistle-blower on Illinois for re-cruiting violations. And just a few successful years later (that have included the money and the fame that come with success) Pearl fi nds himself answering the same questions which he posed to the coaches at Illinois.

Kentucky has seemed to hit its stride but not without fi rst trying to work a European professional onto the team. And if their coach’s former schools are any indication, should the Wildcats be successful and win the title, it will probably be only a matter of time before they will have to give it up.

I realize that much like hunting and fi sh-ing, March Madness will go on with or with-out me. If people want to call catching fi sh in

a barrel a success, that’s their choice. If peo-ple want to “hunt” animals inside a fence, its their choice. But I’m not so sure we are send-ing the right message to the next generation. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure we aren’t. It’s the instant gratifi cation win-at-any-cost philosophy that has the United States in the mess it is in.

As I prepared to write this column, I found a few funny quotes regarding basketball over the years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. They are as follows:

The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need. Those boys simply would not play “Drop the Handkerchief.” ~James Naismith

This is the second most exciting indoor sport, and the other one shouldn’t have spec-tators. ~Dick Vertleib

If the NBA were on channel 5 and a bunch of frogs making love was on channel 4, I’d watch the frogs even if they were coming in fuzzy. ~Bobby Knight

The rule was “No autopsy, no foul.” ~Stewart Granger, on the pickup games of his childhood

I haven’t been able to slam-dunk the bas-ketball for the past fi ve years. Or, for the thirty-eight years before that, either. ~Dave Barry

I look at the NBA as a football game with-out the helmet. ~Tom Tolbert

These are my new shoes. They’re good shoes. They won’t make you rich like me, they won’t make you rebound like me, they defi nitely won’t make you handsome like me. They’ll only make you have shoes like me. That’s it. ~From a Charles Barkley commer-cial for basketball shoes, 1993

What is so fascinating about sitting around watching a bunch of pituitary cases stuff a ball through a hoop? ~Woody Allen, Annie Hall

We have a great bunch of outside shoot-ers. Unfortunately, all our games are played

indoors. ~Weldon DrewBasketball is the MTV of sports. ~Sara

LevinsonThe idea is not to block every shot. The

idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot. ~Bill Russell

I hate it. It looks like a stickup at 7-Eleven. Five guys standing there with their hands in the air. ~Norm Sloan, on zone defense

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed fi rst, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up. ~Red Auerbach

Fans never fall asleep at our games, be-cause they’re afraid they might get hit by a pass. ~George Raveling

The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not. ~Charles Barkley

When I dunk, I put something on it. I want the ball to hit the fl oor before I do. ~Darryl Dawkins

You don’t play against opponents. You play against the game of basketball. ~Bobby Knight

When I went to Catholic high school in Philadelphia, we just had one coach for foot-ball and basketball. He took all of us who turned out and had us run through a forest. The ones who ran into the trees were on the football team. ~George Raveling

We’re shooting 100 percent - 60 percent from the fi eld and 40 percent from the free-throw line. ~Norm Stewart

You can run a lot of plays when your X is twice as big as the other guys’ O. It makes your X’s and O’s pretty good. ~Paul West-phal

Giving “Magic” the basketball is like giv-ing Hitler an army, Jesse James a gang, or Genghis Khan a horse. ~Jim Murray, about Earvin Johnson

The secret is to have eight great players and four others who will cheer like crazy. ~Jerry Tarkanian

Cheaters have tainted March Madness, basketball’s showcase

MOUNT VERNON AUTO PARTS

JUST ASK US...WE MIGHT HAVE IT

By Pam RobinsonThe Mount Vernon Board of Pub-

lic Works and Safety voted Thursday to allow Sterett Crane & Rigging to travel with three heavy loads through town this week from TMI on West Second Street to SABIC. The loads will travel along West Second Street to Old Highway 69 to SABIC’s Gate No. 9. It is estimated each load will weigh 17,000 pounds, less than an empty packer truck. The board not-ed that Sterett would be responsible for paying all applicable fees.

Police Chief Grant Beloat stated the city’s truck travel ordinance re-

quired a permit, but none was in-cluded. The board is allowing the three loads to go through town with-out a permit. It was indicated a per-mit will be drafted. The ordinance also addresses company liability for any damage done to streets.

Beloat said the move would take about 30 minutes. The police depart-ment will help with traffi c.

In other business:•The board approved the purchase

of a new set of traffi c counters for $2,960.02 to come from the street department’s equipment line.

•The board approved the street

department’s request for an online purchase of a 2009 manual on uni-versal traffi c control devices with the city credit card. Cost is estimat-ed at $139.

•The board approved the use of the city credit card for gas and meals when Street Commissioner Roy Maynard and Assistant to the Mayor Sherry Willis travel to Hunt-ingburg on Thursday, March 31, for training on grant sign offs.

•It was announced that Bernardin Lochmueller & Associates is still in the process of reviewing the bids and specifi cations for Phase 2 of the

sewer project. •Wastewater Superintendent

Rodney Givens reported that the county has secured funds to make the needed repairs to the bridge on Old Highway 62, but the city has a sewer line connected to the bridge. Givens said Posey County Commis-sioner Jim Alsop had inquired about the city’s plans for dealing with the sewer line. Givens said he needed to know what the county was going to do before he could put together a plan.

•Wastewater Superintendent Giv-ens reported a leak, a sewer issue,

at Walnut and Water streets. When the old pipe was dug up, a hairline crack was found. It was clamped and will be paved over when it has time to settle.

•Board member Becky Higgins reported vandalism attempts had been made at the cemetery next to Hedges Elementary School. At her request, Police Chief Grant Beloat agreed to put extra patrol in the area.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again Thursday, April 7, at 4:00 p.m. in the city hall annex.

New traffi c counters will help city make route decisions

Southern Illinois natives Joe and Teresa Crissup have become deeply rooted in the life of their Mount Vernon community

since they moved here after their marriage nearly 19 years ago. Whether they are lend-ing a sleeping bag to a neighbor across the fence or volunteering for a charitable orga-nization, they behave as if they’ve lived here all their lives.

A 13-year employee with the Metropoli-tan School District of Mount Vernon, Teresa

serves as the Title I reading assistant at West Elementary. Need-less to say, after hours, she enjoys reading as much as possible. In addition, she is active in Calvary Baptist Church, her family’s church home since 1994. She is the Sunday school superinten-dent there and manages vacation bible school each summer as well as the annual Easter egg hunts.

Joe is the plant superintendent in the soybean processing divi-sion of Consolidated Grain and Barge, where he has been em-ployed for the past 14 years. In his free time, he is involved in a number of community organizations. He has served with the Black Township Fire and Rescue for 10 years now in addition to volunteering as an instructor with the local chapter of the Ameri-can Red Cross and as an auditor for the United Way. He enjoys membership in the National Wild Turkey Association and the lo-cal Conservation Club, where he helps with the annual spring fishing day for youth.

Combining his passion for motorcycles with his dedicated ser-vice to firefighting, Joe helped to charter the local chapter of the Red Knights, a national motorcycle group for firefighters. The group does fundraising to help children burn victims as well as supports such local entities as Toys for Tots and the new Ronald McDonald House in Evansville.

The Crissups have three sons: Austin (15), a freshman at Mount Vernon High School; Jacob (almost 13), a 6th grader at Mount Vernon Junior High School; and Lucas (9), a third-grader at West. All three young men like to help with the community

activities of the Red Knights.The entire family enjoys camping and sup-

porting Austin and his fellow Marching Wild-

cats at their band competitions. Jacob looks forward to joining the Marching Wildcats himself a couple of years from now.

Odie and Trixie, the shih tzus, and Sammy the cat enthusiasti-cally greet guests to the Crissup home. In this household, the pets

Involvement in community key to connecting, contributing for Crissups

Paws Elite fi nishes undefeated season, does folkstyle tourney

By Steve JoosThe few, the proud, the North Posey Ju-

nior High wrestling team?Well, yes.With just eight grapplers out for this

year’s team, the junior high Vikings still did pretty well in Saturday’s Middle School PAC meet at Gibson Southern, as six North Posey matmen advanced out of the fi rst two rounds and two won championships.

Kayne Hillenbrand defeated Garrett Vaal of Heritage Hills 6-1 for the 75-pound cham-pionship, while Jordan Frymire took the 135-pound class with a 16-9 win over Tell City’s Xavier Barnes in a match that ended on a bizarre note when Barnes turned and apparently pinned Frymire after the buzzer went off ending the contest.

“We brought eight kids,” coach Nick George said. “We’re down on numbers this year, but we’ve got six going on, so it’s been more of an up day. We’ve got two in the fi -

nals, three going for third or fourth and one going for fi fth or sixth, so it’s been a good day.”

The junior high Vikings have a lot of new wrestlers this year, including a few sixth graders, but the team has gotten a lot better as the year progressed.

Despite the win, Hillenbrand still feels he could have done much better.

“I was happy with what I did,” the sev-enth grader said. “But I could have done much better.”

Hildebrandt started out trying to get as many takedowns as he could and also trying to pin his opponent. He couldn’t pin his man and that was an upset in itself.

But he’s glad to get the win.Frymire was pleased with the way he

wrestled.“I did great today,” he said. “I got mad,

kept my head up and just dominated.”Frymire tried to get a mental advantage

on his opponent in the title bout, but then came the end of the match, when Barnes apparently turned Frymire and pinned him after the buzzer sounded.

Frymire heartedly told the referee the pin occurred after the buzzer sounded. That got him in trouble with George, who was also arguing the point.

In addition to Hildebrandt and Frymire, defending 85-pound conference champion Noah Campbell ran into trouble this season and didn’t get out of the fi rst round. Brut Alex Taylor (80 pounds) and Jonah Cobb (130) were among those wrestling for third place.

“Jonah had plenty more to learn,” George said. “I’m glad we showed up to day. We had a really good day to end the season.”

Cobb captured third place, while Camp-bell fought back from his disappointment to bring home another third place fi nish. Josh Elpers (95) fi nished sixth to round out the

North Posey grapplers in the medal round.Cobb and Frymire are the only eighth

graders on this year’s roster, while Cobb a fi rst-year grappler.

Both should bring a good mix to the mid-dleweight classes in high school, George said, adding that both will hopefully con-tend for the conference title as high school grapplers. Ryan Martin (90) and Ethan Feld-hake (200) rounded out the North Posey contingent.

“I’m glad we showed up today,” George said. “We had a pretty good day to end our season. With eight kids, it’s been a rough year, so I’m glad we stepped up today.”

North Posey fi nished eighth in the meet, nosing out Forest Park 90-89. Both teams were well behind seventh-place South Spen-cer (147). South Gibson won the meet with 310 points, fi nishing well ahead of runner-up Southridge (259). Heritage Hills was third with 248.

Former Wildcat Stemple making noise as an Engineer at Rose-HulmanFormer Mount Vernon

baseball standout Chris Stemple had a slow start with the Rose-Hulman Fightin’ Engineers, but he seems to be coming around.

A senior outfi elder for the Terre Haute school, Stemple came away from the nine-

game trip hitting .103 with three hits in 29 at-bats, but that was then. After the weekend, he’s hitting .269 with 14 hits in 50 at-bats, including two doubles and a home run. Back in the lead-off spot he held at the start of the season, Stemple has

scored 15 runs and amassed 19 total bases.

Rose-Hulman is 10-4 so far this season, winning fi ve home games after going 5-4 in their season-opening trip to Florida.

Stemple collected eight hits in three games for the

Fightin’ Engineers last week, including a single with a runs scored and two RBIs Sunday, as Rose-Hulman outslugged visiting North Central 9-7. He hit his fi rst homer of the season and scored two runs Saturday as the Engineers completed a

doubleheader sweep with an 8-7 win over the visitors from Illinois. Stemple had four hits in the twinbill, in-cluding two hits, including a double, in the opener, a 9-1 victory.

Stemple’s week started with three hits in a 7-6 Rose-

Hulman win over Fontbonne on Thursday,

Stemple continued his steady improvement at the plate for the Rose Hulman Fighting Engineers this week.

The senior infi elder raised his batting average to .303 after the Terre Haute school took two of three from visit-ing Defi ance College, win-ning 6-1 Friday and then taking the opener of a Sat-urday doubleheader, 5-0, before losing the nightcap 11-9.

Stemple had two hits in each of the three games, with a two runs scored in game one Saturday to go along with an RBI. He also drove in a run in the second contest.

Stemple’s 20 hits in 66 at-bats include a pair of doubles, a home run and nine RBIs, while the Rose-Hulman lead-off man has scored 18 runs.

Rose-Hulman is 12-5 so far this season, 2-1 in the Hoosier Collegiate Athletic Conference. The Fighting Engineers head for Rich-mond this weekend and a three-game series against Earlham.

Hunters under age 18 will have a chance to hunt 22 DNR properties for the re-served turkey hunts during the special youth wild turkey hunting season on April 23-24.

The youth hunts will be at Atterbury, Chinook, Crosley, Deer Creek, Fairbanks Land-ing, Glendale, Goose Pond, Hillenbrand, Hovey Lake, Jasper-Pulaski, Kankakee, Kingsbury, LaSalle, Min-nehaha, Pigeon River, J.E. Roush, Sugar Ridge, Tri-County, Willow Slough and Winamac fi sh and wildlife areas, as well as at Mississ-inewa and Salamonie lakes.

A youth hunter may be drawn for either or both hunt days, depending on the number of applicants. Youth hunters, or an adult representing them, must reg-ister in person at the prop-erty they wish to hunt from March 21–April 1, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. local time. The draw-ing will be held April 4. All applicants will be notifi ed of drawing results by mail.

Those wanting to sign up for Chinook, Deer Creek, Fairbanks Landing, or Hillenbrand hunts may do so at Minnehaha FWA.

A limit will be placed on the number of youth hunters allowed to hunt a property each day, to provide qual-ity hunts. Each property will hold local early registrations

and drawings at the property for the half-day hunts.

Hunts will run one-half hour before sunrise until noon at properties in the Central Time Zone, and one-half hour before sunrise until 1 p.m. on properties in the Eastern Time Zone.

Applicants may sign up for only one property and must possess a valid 2011 Youth Hunting and Trapping License, Lifetime Compre-hensive Hunting, or Lifetime Comprehensive Hunting and Fishing License. An Appren-tice Youth Hunt/Trap license may also be used.

Youth hunters who are selected for the hunt may check in at any time each day until the end of legal hunting hours for that prop-erty. Properties that do not fi ll their quotas during early registration may fi ll remain-

ing spots during regular of-fi ce hours until the youth sea-son opens, using a drawing each morning of the hunt, or fi rst-come, fi rst-served each morning of the hunt. Prop-erties will not have a daily “no-show” drawing because there is no set time that se-lected youth hunters must check in during the morning hunts. Hunters interested in possible unfi lled quotas at a property should contact that property for more informa-tion before showing up on the opening morning of the youth season.

During youth wild turkey season, youth hunters can only take a bearded or male wild turkey and must be ac-companied by an adult at least 18 years of age.

The youth hunter may use any legal shotgun, bow and arrow, or crossbow.

The adult accompanying the youth hunter must not possess a fi rearm, bow and arrow, or crossbow while in the fi eld. The adult does not need to possess a turkey hunting license unless the youth is using an apprentice license. A youth hunter may take only one bearded or male wild turkey during both the special youth season and regular spring season com-bined. The youth must be properly licensed to take a wild turkey and comply with all tagging and check-in re-quirements.

You can purchase a license at IndianaOutdoor.IN.gov. For wild turkey hunting reg-ulations, safety and tips go to dnr.IN.gov/fi shwild/2343.htm .

For additional informa-tion, go to dnr.IN.gov/fi sh-wild.

Baehl stays hot in limited action with the AcesThe weather wasn’t always warm,

the action was limited, but former North Posey baseball standout Jared Baehl continues to swing a hot stick for the University of Evansville diamond Aces.

Baehl raised his batting average to .300 heading into last weekend, with

18 hits in 60 at-bats, including three doubles, three triples, a home run and seven runs batted in. A red shirt senior outfi elder, he collected three hits in the Aces’ 18-6 slugfest win over visiting Tennessee-Martin Wednesday.

The Aces were 10-7 on the season heading into Sunday’s games with In-

diana University, which included the completion of a suspended game from Saturday and a nine-inning contest. UE hosts Southern Indiana Tuesday night, heads for St. Louis on Wednesday to take on the Billikens and then come back to the Braun for a weekend series against Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne.
