By Dave Pearce

Two north-ern Posey County resi-dents have been arrested and charged with theft.

A c c o r d -ing to Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, “Over recent months the price of metal has increased substantially which has made it very desirable for criminals. The rising price of scrap metal has led to farms, industrial yards, building sites and domestic properties being targeted as thieves look to recycle metal for profi t.”

Oeth indicated that through his department’s investigations, they are fi nding that metal theft is attracting both organized criminals and oppor-tunistic thieves.

“There have been a number of ar-rests involving individuals that have loaded and carried off metal items without permission to do so,” Oeth explained. “This past week was an-other example as Detective Tom Latham and Deputy Dustin Seitz arrested two individuals that are be-

lieved to have been in-volved in three separate theft cases.

On Janu-ary 31, the Posey Coun-ty Sheriff’s Department

investigated the theft of copper wir-ing and copper grounds from con-struction trucks that had been parked on Freedman Road. The stolen metal was the property of Miller Construc-tion of Vincennes, Ind.

Then on May 14, Deputy Seitz investigated the theft of metal items from two individuals on Blaylock Road. The metal items were tracked through a scrap dealer. The inves-tigation developed two suspects which were subsequently arrested for the crimes.

Arrested and charged as a result of the investigations were Daniel T. Gray, age 53, of Poseyville, and Rob-in J. Mobley, age 29, of Wadesville.

The two were lodged in the Posey County Jail. The investigation infor-mation has been given to the Posey County Prosecutor.

By Valerie WerkmeisterIf you are one of those people

who would like to be informed but haven’t taken the time to make it to a school board meeting in years, if ever, the North Posey School Board is giving you a great opportunity.

On June 10, the school board meeting will be held in the audito-rium of North Posey High School to allow the community an opportunity to see for themselves how school board meetings are conducted in a non-crowded environment.

North Posey School Board mem-ber Joe Neidig indicated that the board has done this before with a good number of people who choose to attend the meeting. The board is expected to vote on the contract of North Posey School Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp during that meeting.

A public hearing on the perfor-mance/contract of Camp was held during the May 13, school board meeting. Attorney William H. Bender explained that according to Indiana State code, 20-26-5-4.3, the board must give notice of when they will meet to hear objections to and support of the superintendent’s contract.

A summary of the 2012-13 con-tract shows that Camp receives an annual salary of $112,500 which includes a 401a contribution of $3,000, a $16,319.36 insurance con-tribution, a $175,000 life insurance policy and a $600 cell phone allow-ance. The proposed contract will last three years.

According to Bender, the board has gone above and beyond the call of duty in regards to implementation of an evaluation for Camp. Bender stated it is not required by Indiana State law to do so.

“All personnel evaluations are confi dential. There is no employee of this corporation whose evaluation is a public document,” Bender said.

Bender added, “The contracts themselves, of course, are open to the public. Going forward, the cor-poration will be in compliance with the law and post the superinten-dent’s contract on the website. The renewal contract will be posted on its website.”

Vince Oakley addressed the board with a few questions about what goals are used to evaluate Camp during contract renewal. Camp ad-vised that although they do change, basically his goals are to ensure the school district remains fi nancially solvent, that all state guidelines are followed and that state academic standards are met through students’ testing scores, graduation rates, etc.

Susie Crawford asked why Camp’s contract was not on the website as required by law.

Camp responded, “Whenever the law was passed, it took effect

By Valerie Werkmeister“The Posey County Commission-

ers remain hopeful discussion of terms and conditions of the proposed Midwest Fertilizer Company project to be located in Posey County will continue and await communication from the company for discussion to resume,” Posey County Com-missioners President Carl Schmitz stated.

“Obviously we were all taken back last week when we received word that the governor had chose not to support our project and pulled state funding,” said John Taylor, Posey County Economic Development Di-rector. “I’m still confi dent that this company is committed 100 percent to building this in the county.”

Taylor requested $5,000 in addi-tional county funds to help pay for legal fees from teams in Washington and Indianapolis who are working to help move the project forward. He said he has already incurred $25,000 in legal fees since November, which was paid by the Coalition of South-west Indiana.

Taylor called for continued sup-port of the project from the commis-sioners, council and citizens.

“This will be something that will truly open doors for us for the next 40-50 years because of the impact this will have on the county,” he said.

The commissioners approved Tay-lor’s request for the additional funds.

Commissioners opened sealed bids that were received to replace bridge No. 239 on Old State Road 62 over McFadden Creek. Russell’s Excavating bid $516,000 and D.K. Parker Construction bid $409,816. E&H Grading and DK Parker also submitted alternate bids. All bids were taken under advisement to be reviewed by Posey County Highway Superintendent Steve Schenk. He will present his recommendation to the commissioners during their June 4, meeting.

Attorney Bill Bender recommend-ed attorney Adam Farrar represent

By Valerie WerkmeisterThe Town of New Harmony may be stuck

with a $30,000 - $40,000 bill for expenses incurred in conjunction with the trail proj-ect, despite the fact that the project has been halted. Former town attorney Nathan Maud-lin informed town council members during their meeting Thursday, May 16, that the town would most likely have to foot the bill since the trail project donor will not want to pay for fees incurred due to the town’s refusal to con-tinue with Phase II.

During the council’s meeting in April, president Joe Straw stated the town would not annex South Road and the town will not con-

tinue with the project. This action raised the ire of park board offi cials and other residents who raised many questions about the town’s decision.

“If it turns out that the town ends up hav-ing to pay some amount of money because the trail project, Phase II has been stopped, and our estimate now is between $30-$40,000, I’m wondering how far in your estimation would that have gone, that amount of money towards maintaining the new trail,” Maudlin asked.

Straw was unable to answer the question advising he did not know what it would cost to maintain the new trail.

Maudlin pressed Straw further quoting Straw’s statement made during the April meeting, in which Straw advised of the town’s decision to stop the project was based on the expense required to maintain the trail for 25 years.

“Last month you said it was too expensive to maintain the new trail, so I thought maybe you had an idea of how expensive it was,” Maudlin said.

Straw stated he was unable to answer the question and did not know the costs associated with building or maintaining the trail.

A public hearing was held on the ordinance 2013-4 proposing a water rate increase. The

last increase the town faced was in 1998. Council member Linda Warrum explained the increase is necessary to help close the gap of a $27,206.57 budget shortfall.

Former town council president David Campbell questioned how the shortfall oc-curred.

Warrum responded, “A lot of the increase has to do with a lot of the costs increasing to do the things that we have to do.”

“So you’re saying that average operat-ing costs are going up by $26,000 a year?,” Campbell asked.

Harold Theodore Weinzapfel was the eldest of seven children, born on August 28, 1935, and died peacefully on May 18, 2013, with his family surrounding him.

Weinzapfel was a life-long resident of Saint Philip, Ind., where he was a community leader and a founding member of the Marrs Township Volunteer Fire Department in 1962. He was a co-chairman of the building com-mittee, which culminated in the new Saint Philip Catholic Church building in 2000. He was also a life-long member of the Saint Philip Men’s Club and the Saint Philip Conservation Club. As a young man, Harold enjoyed playing and coaching Double I League Baseball. He continued to be a life-long Cardinals fan, and was cheered by a Cards win even during his illness.

Weinzapfel was an avid hunter and fi sherman. For nearly 40 years, his brothers, son, nephews, and friends went on an annual pheasant hunting trip to Kansas, as well as a spring fi shing weekend in southern Indiana. Farming traditions carried Harold through his life – from splitting wood in the winter to fi nding morels in spring to harvesting soybeans in the fall. He was a successful and respected farmer; from a life lived on the land which his forebears had owned for 160 years.

Surviving Weinzapfel are his wife of 57 years, Roselle (Roy) Weinzapfel, a daughter Connie Weinzapfel, a son Stan G. Weinzapfel (Tami Smith) of Terre Haute, and his grandson Andrei Parrent, with whom he enjoyed much time on the farm. Also surviving are his brother Ralph Weinzapfel (Sylvia), sisters Esther Stofl eth (Michael), Dorothy Weinzapfel, Agnes Weinzapfel O.S.B., and sister-in-law Betty Weinzapfel, in addition to many nieces and nephews. Predeceasing Weinzapfel were his parents Alfred and Magdalen Weinzapfel, a sister Mary Catherine, his brother Wilfred, and his son-in-law, James Parrent, Jr.

The family received friends on Tuesday, May 21 at Pierre Funeral Home. A special prayer service was held at 5 p.m. The Mass of Christian Burial was led by the Rev. David Fleck and the Rev. Gordon Mann at Saint Philip Catholic Church on Thursday, May 23.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Al-fred and Magdalen Weinzapfel Endowment Fund benefi tting Saint Philip Church or the Paul and Hel-en Mann Roy Fund benefi tting Saint Philip School.

TRAIL, from Page A1

NORTH POSEY SCHOOL BOARD. from Page A1July 1, of last year. We were in a meeting with different lead-ers at a district meeting where the people from the state came down from the DOE (Department of Education) and talked to all of the SIEC superintendents. There was no timeline put into the law, so we’re not in any type of violation. But in that meeting, they said to us, that if you are under a teacher’s con-tract, you do not have to follow the new laws. But when we renew the teacher’s contract, all laws must be followed with the teachers. We were given advice at that time that the same thing was in occurrence with the superintendent’s contract. As soon as you act on the superintendent’s contract again af-ter this law is in effect, you must comply with all the new laws,”

Strawberry corn cakes

INGREDIENTS

• Cooking spray, for the pan• 1 8.5-ounce package corn muffi n mix• 1/4 cup all-purpose fl our• 2 teaspoons fi nely grated lemon zest• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract• 1 cup chopped strawberries• 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves• 3/4 cup heavy cream• 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 6-cup muf-fi n pan with cooking spray. Prepare the corn muffi n batter as the label directs, then stir in the fl our, lemon zest and vanilla.

2. Divide the batter evenly among the muffi n cups. Bake un-til the edges are set and the centers are soft but not wet, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the strawberries and strawberry preserves in a bowl and set aside.

3. Remove the corn cakes from the oven. Gently press the back of a teaspoon into the center of each to make an inden-tation about one-third of the way into the cake. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the strawberry mixture into each indentation, pressing to tightly fi ll. (Reserve the remaining berry mixture for topping.) Return the cakes to the oven and continue bak-ing until just golden, about 5 more minutes.

4. Let the cakes cool in the pan on a rack, 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool 10 more minutes. Mean-while, beat the cream and confectioners’ sugar with a mixer until soft peaks form. Top the cakes with the remaining berry mixture and serve with the whipped cream.

Adopting a Shelter Cat vs. a ‘Free’ Cat

Kitten season is here meaning that all shelters, including PHS are run-ning at capacity for the number of cats we can house. PHS has had several females brought in pregnant that had litters at the shelter. Thank goodness they were brought to a safe place, but the population explosion is a problem county-wide. ‘Free kitten’ signs will be popping up soon. This article is not to discourage people to give those kit-tens good homes, but to really encour-age pet care and awareness of what the costs are to ‘free’ cats.

The adoption fee at PHS covers several veterinary costs for just $85. If you were to go to a local vet to get the same treatments for a kitten you would be paying much more. See the table below to see how it compares*:

Shelter Cat: Male/Female - Spay/Neuter, Worming, Flea Treatment, First Shots all included, Total $85.

Free Kitten Female: Spay $193.55, Worming $15.40, Flea Treatment $14.83, First Shots $54.16, Total $297.94.

Free KittenMale: Neuter $148.65, Worming $15.40, Flea Treatment $14.83, First Shots $54.16, Total $233.04.

*These costs can vary and

were based on average pricing of lo-cal vets in surrounding counties. If a kitten is adopted before six months of age, some of the vet costs may not have been completed at the shelter and may pass to the adopter.

Because kittens are always cuter and more active is it harder to place adult cats. PHS adopts adult cats (one year or older) for $60. Fees cover spay/neuter, FIV test, Feline Leuke-mia test, ear mite treatments, worm-ing, fl ea treatment & age appropriate vaccinations (generally rabies if age appropriate). These fees do not fully cover our costs. We count on dona-tions to try to reduce the cost to adopt-ers to encourage more people to con-

sider a shelter animal when searching for a new pet.

And we have discounts for adopt-ing more than one animal at a time. We even have a ‘barn cat program’ to encourage people looking for cats to help keep down the rodent population without later having a population ex-plosion of repetitive litters. Check out our website at www.poseyhumane.org for more details.

So please think about checking out shelter cats. But no matter how you come by your new pet, always have them spayed or neutered to try to stop the pet overpopulation problem and continue good vet care throughout their lives.

YOUR HOMETOWN PHARMACY

PROUDLYSERVING YOU!

New Harmony artist, Maggie Rapp, is the featured artist in the Evansville Ronald McDonald House ‘Artist in Residence’ Pro-gram. Fifteen pieces of Rapp’s work are on display for the months of June, July, and Au-gust in the house located at 3540 Washing-ton Avenue. The Ronald McDonald House opened in January of 2010 to support the families of children receiving medical treat-ment at area hospitals and medical facilities with a primary focus on the families of neo-natal and pediatric and intensive care pa-tients. Guests include families from South-western Indiana, Western Kentucky, and southeastern Illinois. The house is a place where parents and children can relax, share both good and bad times, and feel comfort-able with other families who face the same daily concerns. The Artist in Residence pro-gram was initiated in late 2012 to give the home a family friendly atmosphere by incor-porating the art of local and regional artists. The home is not open to the public except during special events. One such event will take place on June 4 with an appreciation reception for the ‘74 Club’ named to com-memorate 1974, the year the fi rst Ronald McDonald House opened. The members of this special group of donors have generously pledged to contribute $74 a month. To fi nd out more about the ‘house that love built’ or to learn how you can volunteer or make a donation, go to www.rmhevansville.org or call 812-402-RMHC (7642). Or you may contact the Executive Director, Jeremy M. Evans at [email protected].

Rapp’s artist statement sums up her phi-losophy on art, “My desire to become an

artist has been a lifelong pursuit: sometimes stifl ed by the reality of the world; always there in the recesses of my soul; and occa-sionally bursting forth into the light. I be-lieve the ability to create is God’s gift and we, the blessed, are responsible for nurtur-ing it in whatever form we choose—I chose art.” Her art captures reality in its fi ne detail and includes the earthy beauty of the world as she sees it. Her work ranges from real-istic to impressionist, depending upon how she wishes the viewer to interact with the painting.

Maggie grew up in historic New Har-mony, Indiana, on the banks of the Wabash River. She has a BA in Mathematics and a Masters in Education. After graduating from college, she taught high school math while at the same time experimenting with water-color, oil painting, pastel portraits, decora-tive painting and various creative crafts. Mostly self taught, she has taken workshops with C.W. Mundy, Carolyn Anderson, Scott Christianson, Kevin Macpherson, Birgit O’Connor, and Karlyn Holman. Gleaning from these instructors, Maggie has devel-oped her own artistic style and presentation.

Rapp retired from teaching in 2001 and is currently the Director of the New Har-mony Hoosier Salon Gallery. She and her husband, Ernie, reside in New Harmony, but spend winters at their Florida home in Ft. Myers. Maggie is a Signature Member of the Watercolor Society of Indiana, hav-ing exhibited in their annual juried exhibits at the Indianapolis Museum of Art since 2008. She is affi liated with the Hoosier Salon Patrons Association, American Wa-tercolor Society, Oil Painters of America,

American Impressionist Society, Indiana Plein Air Painters Association, Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana, and the Art Coun-cil of Southwest Florida. Her art has been exhibited at the Hoosier Salon New Harmony Gallery; Evans-ville Museum of Art, Sci-ence and History; the Red Lantern Gallery in the Red Wagon Restaurant in Poseyville; the Jane Morgan Studio and Gallery in Lou-isville, Ky.; numerous ex-hibits of the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana and the Arts Council of South-west Florida. Her work has been accepted to juried shows throughout Indiana and southwest Florida. Two of her paintings, The Posey County Courthouse and The Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse are part of the permanent collection of In-diana Courthouses of the Indiana Bar Association.

Historic New Harmony By Missy Parkinson

According to a recent poll, Evansville was rated one of the worst places to live. Shocked by this article, USI (University of Southern In-diana) students, along with other fuming locals, intend to put a stop to this nonsense by rallying together to show ev-eryone what a beautiful place Evansville is to live.

The Evansville Philhar-monic Orchestra, along with Evansville native Ron Glass, are proud to support the ‘We Are Evansville’ movement. With the Philharmonic being an integral part of the commu-nity since 1934, the organiza-tion also wants others to see the beauty of Evansville and the rich history it has to offer. Our community has some-thing for everyone. From

Evansville’s glorious parks and recreation areas to its music, arts and entertainment scene, the Evansville Philhar-monic Orchestra intends to help change the views behind this pessimistic article.

“Whoever did that survey, never lived in Evansville,” says Kitty Savia. “I think the momentum has been chang-ing and I think people like our group were happy to see that someone stepped forward with this idea and I think more and more are jumping on board.”

“We get such wonderful support from concert go-ers and [we’re] just showing we’re here for the communi-ty,” says Concertmaster Tim Kantor.

About the Evansville Phil-

harmonic Orchestra:The mission of the Evans-

ville Philharmonic Orches-tra is to engage the Tri-State community in the powerful experience of live symphonic music. The Evansville Phil-harmonic Orchestra is the largest non-profi t arts insti-tution in the Tri-State area. The orchestra performs its Classics and Pops concerts in the beautiful Victory The-atre in downtown Evansville. Throughout its 78 year his-tory, the Philharmonic has been committed to providing high-quality music education, outreach and entertainment programs for the entire Tri-State. It is dedicated to shar-ing the powerful experience of live symphonic music with people of all ages.

QUEST, from Page A1

the county in the matter of the Cox and Zoph or-dinance violation lawsuit due to Bender’s confl ict of interest in the matter. The commissioners approved his request.

Assessor Nancy Hoehn presented information re-garding the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) transition plan her commit-tee has been working to put in place. She stated the plan is a detailed process that includes a county building inventory and assessment, a sidewalk and curb assess-ment and the fi nal plan on how to bring the county into compliance.

She received a $19,300 quote in order to complete the requirements. Hoehn felt her committee needed direction from the commis-sioners due to the depth and scope of each phase as well as the amount of funds re-

quired to complete the proj-ect. She advised the com-missioners that the study is necessary if the county wants to qualify to pursue state and federal grants in the future.

Commissioners asked for additional quotes and tabled a decision until the next meeting.

Building Commission-er Ed Battieger provided quotes to bring the former jail/boys home building in Mount Vernon up to code. He stated it would cost ap-proximately $700,000 to bring the facility up to ADA code. He indicated there is asbestos and lead paint in the structure making the demolition cost approxi-mately $100,000.

Battieger advised that although the building is a sound structure, there is not a lot of square footage to be gained through renovations. Commissioner Jim Alsop stated that the structure has been offered for tax sale in the past and there wasn’t a lot of interest in the prop-erty.

Commissioners agreed to seek demolition bids on the structure in hopes of sell-ing the property and bring it back to the tax rolls. Bat-tieger will advertise for bids and return with information within the next 60 days.

Bids were opened on the sale of a 1987 Ford pickup truck that had been declared surplus by the highway de-partment. Doug Cox’s bid of $1,261was approved

Chuck Thompson, Posey County Emergency Management Director, in-formed commissioners that $239,119 in revenues have been received to date. A to-tal of $16,000 has been paid to the billing service.

Thompson also informed them he is in need of new defi brillators and monitors. The total cost to replace all at the same time is $96,469. The new equipment is a sig-nifi cant update in technol-ogy that will allow infor-mation to be transmitted to the hospital in real time. He will seek quotes from addi-tional companies and pres-ent his request to the coun-

cil. No action was taken by the commissioners.

E-911 Dispatch Director Sabrina Harms stated the nearly $75,000 in damages dispatch sustained from recent lightning strikes will be turned into the in-surance company. J & S Equipment of Evansville has been working to replace the equipment. The radio equipment damage totaled nearly $71,000 while a damaged computer makes up the balance of the total.

A request to change the direction traffi c stops on Williams Road and Town-ship Line was approved. Traffi c will now stop on Williams Road. This will be advertised in the news-paper twice before it be-comes effective.

Commissioners gave approval for Schenk to proceed with the permit process to construct a box culvert on Copperline Road. He advised it will take approximately two to three months.

The next meeting will be Tuesday, June 4, at 9 a.m.

Nominations have closed for the 2013 Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award, and Poseyville Carn-egie Public Library Director Heather McNabb will help choose the three Award winners. McNabb has been ap-pointed to the Indiana Authors Award panel, a statewide group of eight panel-ists with a diverse range of views, back-grounds and literary experiences.

McNabb is in her third year as direc-tor of the Poseyville Carnegie Public Li-brary where her passion for improving circulation and program attendance is based on her belief that a public library should be the center of the community it serves. Under McNabb’s direction, the library has fl ourished, exceeding state standards for public libraries.

“I am thrilled to represent Poseyville and join this respected group of judges in the search for Indiana’s next top au-thors,” said McNabb. “The Award is an important program for our state, as

it not only recognizes authors, but in-spires a love of reading and writing.”

McNabb is a member of the Ameri-can Library Association, the Indiana Library Federation and the Associa-tion for Rural and Small Libraries. She serves on the ILF District 5/7 Executive Board and was in the inaugural class of the Indiana Librarian Leadership Acad-emy.

The Indiana Authors Award is a pro-gram of The Indianapolis Public Li-brary Foundation that recognizes the contributions of Indiana authors to the literary landscape in Indiana and across the nation. It is funded by the generosity of The Glick Fund, a fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation.

McNabb and the rest of the statewide award panel will select winners in three categories from the publicly nominated authors:

• National Author - $10,000 prize: A writer with Indiana ties, but whose

work is known and read throughout the country. National authors will be evalu-ated on their entire body of work.

• Regional Author - $7,500 prize: A writer who is well-known and respect-ed throughout the state of Indiana. Re-gional authors will be evaluated on their entire body of work.

• Emerging Author - $5,000 prize: A writer who has published no more than two books during his/her lifetime. The title(s) must have been published within the last 10 years. Emerging authors will be evaluated on these specifi c works.

In addition to a cash prize, each au-thor’s Indiana hometown public library will receive a grant of $2,500 from the Library Foundation. The National and Regional authors will be announced by July 15, 2013, while the Emerging Au-thor selection will be announced at the 2013 Award Dinner on Oct. 26, 2013.

Special to the Posey County NewsMid to end of May, the excitement in the four buildings of the

Metropolitan School District of North Posey County is evident. No matter the grade level, students are ready for a move up.

Seniors at North Posey High School anticipate switching tas-sels on their mortarboards at the May 24 graduation. Younger students dream of the freedom of summer, as well as new camps and summer activities.

Teachers, administrative staff, and parents shake their collec-tive heads, not sure they can believe another year has passed.

The rhythm of the school year is much like that of nature – an ending gives us time to pause and refl ect on the past and antici-pate the future, the 2013-2014 school year that begins August 13.

Football coach and physical education teacher Joe Gengel-bach not only coaches and teaches at North Posey High School, but is a the father of alumni and the grandparent of current stu-dents.

Coach Gengelbach, who is a member of the Indiana Football Hall of Fame, talked about what makes for a thriving commu-nity and school.

“What makes our North Posey Community such a special place to work and raise a family is community involvement,” Gengelbach said. “This is demonstrated by the support given our students both in academic and co-curricular activities.”

Each of the MSD of North Posey County’s schools experi-enced and celebrated athletic and academic achievements dur-ing the 2012-2013 year.

South Terrace Elementary SchoolFor students, parents, and school staff, South Terrace El-

ementary School is the heart of Wadesville.During the 2012-2013 academic year, ISTEP scores ranked

above the ninety percentile passing level in both language arts and mathematics. South Terrace was ranked as one of the top ten schools in the Tri-State for ISTEP scores.

The South Terrace Spell Bowl team achieved second place in the regional meet, and ranked 15th in the state.

“We’re very proud of our parental and community involve-ment at South Terrace,” said Kelly Carlton, Principal. “Our PTO does a stellar job throughout the year and is active in providing items for teacher and student needs. This past year the PTO pur-chased playground supplies, activity boards, and library books.”

South Terrace benefi tted from other joint activities during this past year, including:

• A well-attended Winter Carnival for families with fun, games, and food.

• A Family Literacy Night for more than 350 students and family members. In addition to reading and literacy activities in the classrooms, the families enjoyed delicious, free spaghetti.

• At holiday time, parents brought in special food and des-serts for teachers, and also covered duties so teachers enjoyed a special meal.

• Community members will assist with Good Student Activ-ity and May Day celebration on the last day of school. Parents and others enjoy working at the stations.

• This summer, parents and others will host a work time to paint equipment on the playground and improve the general play area.

North Elementary SchoolNorth Elementary also excelled in the Spell Bowl with the

team winning fi rst place in its age group at the district competi-tion.

North Elementary is proud of getting students out into the community on several fi eld trips to experience outside learning. Highlights included:

• The younger students took walking fi eld trips to the Post Offi ce and public library.

• Fourth graders visited the Mississippian mounds at Angel Mounds State Historic Site in Newburgh and learned about a society that lived and worked in southern Indiana hundreds of years ago.

• Third graders traveled to Camp Carson for Earth Day and planted a tree at the camp and at their school.

• Students from the whole school attended a University of Evansville ACES game with project Educational Mathematics.

Getting students and families out together in the community is important to the staff at North Elementary School. School cel-

ebrations this year included: Literacy Night, open Book Fairs, Grandparent’s Day, Veteran’s Day, PTO Chili Cook-off, and Jump Rope for Heart, New Harmony Tree Poster Contest, Wild about Nature Day Camp at Harmonie State Park, and Hallow-een events in New Harmony.

North Posey Junior High SchoolPreparation for life after high school really begins in junior

high. In addition to a laser-like focus on academic, North Posey Junior High provided many diverse opportunities for students interested in other activities.

Students thrived in activities because of participation by teachers, staff and community support on behalf of the students.

Two of the fi rst-rate activities at NPJH are the National Junior Honor Society and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Thirty-three new members – the largest class of inductees ever – joined the National Junior Honor Society group dur-ing the 2012-2013 academic year. In addition to all members completing personal service projects, the group raised funds for UNICEF, Riley Children’s Hospital and Relay for Life.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes hosted fall and spring fun nights with more than 110 students attending, and also host-ed Lenten devotionals.

Other team accomplishments included:• The Spell Bowl team was the state runner-up at Purdue

University.• The junior high Robotics team went to state in the SEAP-

ERCH underwater remote control vehicle competition.• The team won fi fth place in the Southern Indiana Stock

Market Game.• The Student Council was named an Indiana State Honor

Council.Several Vikings achieved individually during the 2012-2013

academic year: Joshua Wiggins went to the state competition of the National Geography Bee, Veronica Inkenbrandt won the Daughters of the American Revolution Essay Contest and Em-ily Elbrink won second place.

A new Drama Club presented its fi rst performance— a col-lection of one act plays “Who’s on First?”, “Patchworks”, and “Ladies of the Mop”— in March. In May the eighth grade boys 400M relay team broke the school record. Team members in-clude: Josh Wiggins, Layne Coleman, Isaac Mayer and Luke Gries.

North Posey High SchoolThe pinnacle of MSD of North Posey County’s educational

system is the high school. “As a professional university educator, I recognize North

Posey as a school that prepares students for the challenges of higher education. North Posey allows students to grow indi-vidually, and fosters student intellect by creating a supportive learning environment,” said Barbara J. Williams, Doctor of Occupational Therapy, OTR, and parent of graduates. “The

commitment to excellence in learning makes North Posey an easy choice.”

What Dr. Williams describes can best be illustrated by reviewing the successes and celebrations of the past year at North Posey High School.

While the students get—and deserve—the most recognition, North Posey has an army of teachers, administrative staff and parents walking with and beside students in their academic and co-curricular activities. Students at North Posey also had nu-merous opportunities for college credit because of 12 courses in the curriculum.

Individual honors this year included:• Cody Devine won the Lilly Scholarship and will use it at

the University of Notre Dame.• Jarise Ross won the Presidential Scholarship at the Univer-

sity of Southern Indiana.• Anna Will received a full tuition scholarship at Indiana

University.• Austin Little received an academic scholarship from the

University of Indianapolis.• Kayla Honert, Megan Baehl and Courtney Newman re-

ceived Presidential Scholarship at Purdue University.• Kater Martin received a $180,000 Navy ROTC scholar-

ship.More than 50 graduating seniors received scholarship mon-

ey for post-secondary education, with nine students receiving departmental scholarships from the University of Southern Indiana. Eight student athletes received athletic scholarships.

The girl’s golf team won the PAC championship for the third consecutive year, and the entire group of fi ve was All-Conference.

Kevin Wassmer, girl’s golf coach, spouse of a school em-ployee and parents of current students weighed in:

“Community involvement is critical. The volunteerism we have in our school system is tremendous and a vital ingredient for the success of our students, both academically and athleti-cally.”

Finally, weekends last fall were thrilling for our community and students, parents and school staff cheered our varsity Vi-kings in their undefeated season and conference championship.

As we highlight some of the accomplishments of our four schools, it is impossible to mention every achievement, cel-ebrations, and special activities that happened during academic year 2012-2013. Whether we are talking about a student who received a scholarship, a child who gained an interest in arche-ology through a fi eld trip or a junior high student who met new friends in the Drama Club, the Metropolitan School District of North Posey County is proud of what our students have gained during the 2012-2013 academic year. We eagerly anticipate working together as a community for the shared good of our young people next year.

First Bank welcomes new Advisory Board members

This month, the Dow Jones Industrial Aver-age hit a milestone, when, for the fi rst time, it closed above 15,000. Of course, 15,000 is a nice, round number, and it sounds pret-ty big — but what does it mean to you, as an individ-ual investor? Is it cause for celebration — or is it more of a “caution” fl ag?

There’s no one simple answer to these questions. Since March 2009 — the low point of the market fol-lowing the 2008 fi nancial crisis — the “Dow” has risen about 130 percent. And while the Dow is just one index, it’s nonetheless an important measure of the market’s performance — which means that you were likely glad to see the 15,000 mark eclipsed and you’d be happy if the num-bers just kept rising.

However, as you’re no doubt aware, the market does not move in just one direction. Typically, de-clines of 10% or more — or “corrections” — occur about once a year. Unfortu-nately, they're not predict-able. Sooner or later, the markets will indeed change course, at least for the short term. When this happens, don’t panic — corrections are a normal part of the market cycle. Still, you might feel like you should

do something to cope with the downturn. But what?

Here are a few sugges-tions:

• Keep investing — Too many people, when faced with a market drop, de-cide to “cut their losses” and take a “time out” from investing. But that can be a costly mistake — had these investors bailed out of the market in 2009, and only recently returned, they would have missed a substantial part of that 130 percent run-up in the Dow. And when you invest in a down market, your dollars may actually go farther if the market rebounds, because you would have bought more shares at the lower prices.

• Review your portfolio — It’s usually a good idea to review your portfolio at least once a year, and it may be especially im-portant during those times when the market changes directions. Over time, a portfolio can become un-balanced — for example, following a long period of rising prices, some of your growth-oriented invest-ments may have gained so much value that they now take up a larger percentage of your holdings than you had intended, possibly sub-jecting you to a greater lev-el of risk than you desire.

If this happens, you may need to scale back on these investments and reallocate the money elsewhere.

• Diversify — Always look for ways to spread your dollars among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, government securi-ties, certifi cates of deposit (CDs) and other invest-ments. Even within these classes, look for ways to diversify further, such as owning different types of stocks, bonds of varying maturities, and so on. Di-versifi cation can’t guar-antee a profi t or protect against a loss, but it can help reduce the impact of

volatility that can occur in a downturn.

The Dow at 15,000 is certainly no minor event. And since stocks don't ap-pear too expensive com-

pared to their earnings, don't be surprised if higher milestones follow. But re-cord highs can be quickly forgotten when the market falls. By being prepared for

that day, too, you can help yourself continue to work toward your goals — even when the major market in-dices have, for the moment, taken a wrong turn.

About 4,300 pounds of food were collected during the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Food Drive last Saturday in Mount Ver-non. All food items will re-main in the Mount Vernon area for distribution, and the items collected in this food drive will make a big differ-ence here in Mount Vernon for the next few months.

Postal employees wish to thank the rural and city let-ter carriers and the volun-teers from the United Way

of Posey County that helped collect the food, the volun-teers at the food pantry, and the community for their gen-erous donations.

There was a food drive in New Harmony this year also. Food items could be put in a box at the post offi ce and were collected each day by United Way of Posey Coun-ty volunteers. Items remain in the New Harmony area for distribution. According to volunteers, 116 pounds of food were collected.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Con-servation Stewardship Pro-gram (CSP) will provide about $175 million in funding for up to 12.6 million addi-tional acres enrollment na-tionally this year.

Applications are accepted all year and we expect an an-nouncement soon of a dead-line for this year’s funding. Indiana farmers and forest-land owners interested in CSP should submit applications to their local NRCS offi ce to ensure they are considered for ranking.

The voluntary program al-lows producers to go the extra mile in conserving natural re-sources while also maintain-ing or increasing the produc-tivity of their operations.

“CSP is different than our other fi nancial assistance programs,” said NRCS State Conservationist Jane Hard-isty. “CSP offers payments to producers who maintain a high level of conservation on their land and agree to adopt higher levels of stewardship. It’s about conservation ac-tivities on the entire operation focusing on multiple resource concerns.”

Playing a signifi cant part in conserving and improving

our nation’s resources, pro-ducers enrolled an additional 12.1 million acres nationwide in CSP last year, bringing the total number of acres to more than 50 million.

Many of the CSP enhance-ments improve soil qual-ity, which helps land become more resilient to extreme weather.

Several other improve-ments are available for pro-ducers, including intensive rotational grazing, intercrop-ping and wildlife friendly fencing.

Because of the extreme weather in Indiana last year, more interest and participa-tion in the cover crop en-hancements is expected this year, according to NRCS ex-perts.

A CSP self-screening checklist is available to help producers determine if the program is suitable for their operation. The checklist high-lights basic information about CSP eligibility requirements, stewardship threshold require-ments and payment types.

For the checklist visit the CSP website (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/fi nancial/csp/) or visit your lo-cal USDA NRCS offi ce.

OPINION

You are never too old to learn and I am no exception. As a matter of fact, maybe I should be at the front of the line.

Sunday afternoon was an eye-opener for me. It was, perhaps, one that I had needed for a long time. I’m sure that if I had taken advice from teachers and coaches over the years, I would have learned by now but perhaps I am just a tad bit slow. But I am getting there.

I attended several graduation parties over the weekend. I enjoyed each and every one of them and each was special in its own way. But attending graduation parties for a person who has been in newspaper for many years can be a sobering experience.

At the first party I attended, I realized just how much age I am accumulating. I talked to the father of a young Mater Dei graduate who was celebrating his son’s graduation. The irony of the story is that I was taking pictures when this young man’s father was in school and involved in athletics many years ago. It was good to see the family again and it brought back a lot of memories.

But it also helped jolt me into reality.For years, I have thought that I had

become fairly well acquainted with many of the young student athletes and their families. But apparently, we had become only

acquaintances…not really friends. That has been a somewhat sobering lesson for me. But like I said, I am not too old to learn.

Awhile back, I attended the Mount Vernon M-Club Hall of Fame Banquet and that, too, brought back a lot

of memories. Most of those being inducted were being honored for their athletic accomplishments during the time that I had been documenting those accomplishments by writing and photographing. I went in, expecting these people to be the same people that I got to know when they were younger… much younger, But I found out that some of them truly had become friends while other apparently had become simply acquaintances.

As my wife and I came home on Sunday evening, I told her that I had been contemplating jotting some of my memories down into a column or perhaps even into a book. Such a project could include people I met when I first got into writing sports in the mid-1980s in Mount Vernon, to people I met while we were over the paper in Boonville, or

in Gibson County, and even some I have met in the five years I have devoted most of my free time to covering North Posey.

But I realized on Sunday that the young people that I thought I had known in their younger years do grow up. They have families and responsibilities of their own. Their acquaintance with an old sportswriter ‘back in the day’ is not high on their priority list. And for the first time in my life, now that I have been forced to face the facts, I understand that.

These young people, just like members of your own family, grow up. I have been guilty of seeing them as young people who I covered on fields of athletic competition and as friends, despite the fact that many years and changes have occurred since I was taking their pictures and writing their stories. I understand now that many of them see me as simply an acquaintance and I am good with that. But it took some thought and soul-searching to realize just how much things and people change over time.

My wife reminded me that off the field of competition, people are very different than they are on the field. They have their own lives, interests, problems, and their own families. The only common interests I shared with most of them was making their high school careers memorable, and having a newspaper record

of it. I had never really thought of it that way.For most people who know me, they know

that they are most likely going to see the same person on Monday as they do on Tuesday. I’m not much of one to treat you one way on one day and a different way on another day. I enjoy people and getting to know new people. However, I have learned that not everyone I meet can be my friend.

Like I said in the beginning, I could probably have taken some lessons from teachers down through the years. Teachers realize that while they are there to teach you, in most cases for a year, their job with you ends with the end of the school year. Then comes a new job with the incoming class and its unique challenges.

And while there are some that stand out in your memory, as a writer, you did not necessarily become their friends. You were just doing a job and they were just being young student-athletes. With each new year, another job arises. At the end of the day, you have met a number of people and you have made a few memories together. But it is as simple as that.

I am getting older and hopefully wiser. Sometimes it takes a long time for things to sink in. I get it now. We’re making a few memories together and then moving on. I will be all the more content because of my newfound understanding. Thanks for listening.

I know where the jobs have gone and I know how to get them back. When Peg and I tried to make reservations at Yellowstone National Park and Mesa Verde National Park recently the light came on. At least 2 percent of the American work force has been replaced with the inter-net.

Ah, for the good ‘ole days of complaining about be-ing put on hold when calling an 800 number. Yes, it may have been frustrating, but one could always vent when the operator eventually an-swered. Try making a com-puter feel your pain.

And, I know the 2 percent of Americans fi rst lost their phone jobs to Indians and I don’t mean the Indians who built Mesa Verde. I’m refer-ring to the Indians Columbus thought he had found. Now those East Indians have been

replaced by computers built in Japan. So when we go back to human interaction by tele-

phone we must skip all the way back to those whose fi rst language is intelligible to us.

But, fi rst let’s you and I beard the lion known as the internet. Step one is to tame the uncaged beast then, per-haps, we can return to the days when our only concern was surly Lily Tomlin types and growing old on hold.

Speaking of growing old, the elderly are the group most affected by the internet onslaught. There are several

issues the internet invasion has wrought. One of the most important to me involves this class of Americans most dis-enfranchised by it. Yes, I am talking old people. Somehow that group tends more and more to hold a special con-cern for me.

Does Grannie know hot spit from apple butter about using an I-phone? I should say not. And who is most likely to vote and pay taxes? That’s right. So why fi re tele-phone operators and replace them with microchips? Gran-nie can use a telephone, but doesn’t know the difference between Steve Jobs and Ste-ven Sondheim.

I say let’s fi x the unem-ployment problem and the problem of the new lost gen-eration. Telephone reserva-tions at least give us (excuse me, them) a fi ghting chance to rejoin America.

Gavel Gamut’s: A Mystery Solved

GAVELGAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

Guest Column State Rep. Wendy McNamara

Every year, like many of you, I make New Year’s Resolutions. Depending on the year, my goals change: lose weight, get organized, save more money or do this or that. I have also started to work on my ‘bucket list.’

Parachuting out of an air-plane is not on my list, but learning how to ride a motor-cycle and getting my motor-cycle license is. Last week, I was proud to cross that item off of my list. I took an American Bikers Aimed To-wards Education (ABATE) course to learn how to ride, and I also successfully com-pleted the approved riding course to enable me to re-ceive a motorcycle endorse-ment on my license.

ABATE of Indiana began in June of 1975. They are a non-profi t organization that focuses on promoting motor-cycle safety and education, as well as motorcycle ad-

vocacy. They offer two dif-ferent motorcycle courses: a ‘Basic Rider Course’ for folks like me who are learn-ing to ride for the fi rst time, and also an ‘Experienced Rider Course’ for folks who know how to ride but want to improve their skills. ABATE also offers motorcycle li-censing exams at locations across the state.

I wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle for quite some time. I knew that my time was incredibly limited during the legislative ses-sion, so anything associ-ated with motorcycles was out of the question at that time. However, now that the session is over and I have returned home to Mount Vernon, I fi nally decided to fulfi ll my wish of learning how to ride a motorcycle.

There was never a better time to learn because May is actually Motorcycle Safety

Awareness Month. Motorcy-cle safety is really a two way street. It is important for au-tomobile drivers to share the road and watch out for mo-torcyclists. It is also equally as important for motorcy-clists to make themselves visible to other drivers.

May is an excellent time to start thinking about motorcy-cle safety. As the weather is starting to warm up, you will see more and more people out on motorcycles. Also, with children getting out of school, there will be more bicycles out as well. We need to share the roadways with everyone.

Be mindful of those around you on our roadways by checking your blind spots before merging lanes – it saves lives. Also, if you’re like me and you have a buck-et list, then consider knock-ing a thing or two off your list this summer.

Mind the motorcycles

Dear Editor:On behalf of the School

Board for the MSD of North Posey, I would like to ex-press disappointment with the headline of the article published in the April 23 edition of The Posey County News, ‘Large but silenced group attends NP school board.’ The headline mis-represents the values of the School Board by implying citizens were silenced at the April 8 meeting. Each member of the school board values the opinions of mem-bers of the community. The Board shares a common goal with the families of our com-munity to provide the best education possible for stu-

dents. Although the article explains the process the pub-lic can follow to petition to be on agendas, the headline was terribly misleading.

The article correctly rec-ognizes the established pro-cess by which citizens are re-quested to use if interested in speaking at the public meet-ings. Citizens are welcome to engage the board through the referenced process, and many have in the recent past. Disciplined use of the pro-cess allows the Board to allo-cate time to execute routine business necessary to oper-ate the school district. On a routine basis, the Board must review and act on proposals to invest in the professional

development of teachers and administrative staff, to fi ll athletic coaching positions, to review and approve stu-dent activities, trips, facility use requests, property main-tenance, general staffi ng, and capital investments.

In closing, the Board wel-comes engaged community involvement. Recognition by the public of the established process for developing meet-ing agendas is essential for effective time management. The intent of the process is not to silence the public.

Sincerely,Linda O’Risky,

Secretary, Board of Education MSD of North

Posey County

Actress Angelina Jolie just announced that she underwent a preventive double mastec-tomy after learning that she was genetically predisposed to cancer. Her disclosure was a powerful show of solidarity with the more than 100,000 American women who un-dergo breast removal surgery each year.

But Jolie's story, while in-spirational, is different from most women's. She benefi ted from a relatively uncommon nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), a procedure that re-moves the breast tissue while preserving the breast skin and nipple. With NSM, after re-

constructive surgery, breasts are left looking mostly un-changed.

Such procedures are rare -- but they don't have to be. Re-cent advances in medical tech-nology have made NSM and skin-sparing mastectomies (SSM) much safer and easier to perform. And yet, too few breast cancer patients know about these options. Bridging this knowledge gap is the only way to ensure that more wom-en aren't needlessly disfi gured.

Roughly 260,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the United States. For many of them, the news of their illness is followed by

a seemingly unthinkable treat-ment recommendation: a mas-tectomy.

The most common form of this procedure, known as a simple or total mastectomy, removes the entire breast, in-cluding much of the skin and the nipple. Even if it elimi-nates the cancer, the disfi gur-ing effects of the surgery can bring overwhelming psycho-logical pain, especially for younger women. As a breast surgeon, I have witnessed the devastating emotional conse-quences of this procedure all too often.

It isn't just diagnosed can-cer patients who must deal

with the distressing aftermath of a simple mastectomy. Like Jolie, many healthy women with a heightened genetic risk of developing breast cancer choose to have some form of preventive breast removal.

From a medical standpoint, there's no reason that simple mastectomies should be the norm. Both NSM and SSM are minimally invasive proce-dures that, in the right patients, are as effective as simple mas-tectomies and carry consider-able cosmetic and emotional benefi ts. With NSM specifi -cally, not only can breasts look the same after reconstruction, according to many patients, they may look better.

And yet, NSM currently ac-counts for about 10 percent of the mastectomies performed. That so many women are be-ing denied the chance to pre-serve most of the skin and the nipple and therefore a more natural appearance of their breasts is disheartening.

The problem is one of edu-cation. Women are often told by their doctors that NSM and SSM are diffi cult to per-form and bring a higher risk of cancer recurrence. In fact, a 2011 study in the Journal

of the American College of Surgeons found that SSM and NSM appear to be oncologi-cally safe and did not increase the risk of cancer recurrence. A study in Plastic & Recon-structive Surgery in 2011 ex-amined the results of NSM over 20 years and came to a similar conclusion.

As for the supposed diffi -culty of the surgery, that too is a misconception. I can person-ally attest that new technolo-gies like the Eigr illuminated breast retractor system have made it possible to perform NSM and SSM more easily, more quickly, and with fewer complications. Such advances should help these procedures become more widely adopted.

Unfortunately, many phy-sicians have remained in the dark about recent improve-ments in breast surgery. Rec-ognizing the need to educate surgeons about NSM, the American Society of Breast Surgeons has launched the Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy Registry to track the long-term results of those patients who undergo this procedure. But this is only a small step in the right direction.

Addressing this knowledge

crisis will require women to play an active role by learn-ing about their treatment op-tions, seeking out informed physicians, and asking the right questions. To this end, there are a variety of valu-able resources, including or-ganizations like the American Cancer Society and websites like www.BreastCancerSur-geryOptions.com, where pa-tients can weigh various pro-cedures and learn from other women's experiences.

Angelina Jolie's remark-able story should bring hope to breast cancer patients and those at risk of developing the illness. Procedures like Jolie's are available to all women. The challenge now is to en-sure that surgeons are trained - and patients are educated - in less-invasive techniques that vastly reduce the psychologi-cal and emotional effects of this life-saving surgery.

Dr. Richard E. Fine is a breast surgeon at The West Clinic Comprehensive Breast Center and Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Sur-gery, University of Tennessee, Chattanooga Division. He is a Past President of the American Society of Breast Surgeons.

campus of Indiana Univer-sity.

North Posey was rep-resented in the regional by freshman Shelbi New-comer. Newcomer entered the meet ranked eighth in the 400 meter dash and ended up fi nishing fi fth with a personal record time of 100.74. And though she just barely missed qualify-ing for the state champi-onship meet, her coach is very proud of all she has done this season. “Shelbi has worked hard all season to improve her time and it really showed,” Viking coach Leah Stormont said. “She deserves all the suc-cess she has received this season.”

Another freshman from our county that had a great showing in the regional meet this week was Mount Vernon’s Savannah Bush. Bush just missed qualifying for the state championship meet with a great showing in the 100 meter dash and

also helped the 4x100 re-lay team as well. In the 100 meter dash Bush fi nished fourth with a time of 13.22.

The Mount Vernon 4x100 relay team did qual-ify for the state champi-onships by fi nishing third in their race Tuesday. The team of Savannah Bush, Zoee Brown, Kellen Ray, and Abbie Randall once again set a new school re-cord with a very impressive time of 50.35. This is two meets in a row in which the relay team pressed hard beating their old record set just a week ago in the 4x100.

The other Mount Vernon athlete to qualify for the state fi nals is junior Ellen Foster. Foster, who came in second place in the high jump in sectionals, took her abilities to the Region-al meet and walked away with a third place fi nish. And once again, Foster’s jump that qualifi ed her for the state meet was the

same height as those who fi nished above her. Jackie Young from Princeton, Zuriel Sanders from Cas-tle, and Foster all jumped a height of 5’3 to move on.

The boys’ regional meet was held on Thursday at Central and while the meet did not have as many ath-letes from Posey County, there was one wildcat who fi nished third to move on to the state meet.

Mount Vernon’s Austin Guthrie qualifi ed for the state championships with a third place fi nish in the 110 meter hurdles. Guthrie fi nished behind Cameron Stewart of Terre Haute North and Eric Blackman of Evansville Harrison to continue his impressive season in the 110 hurdles.

All together the county should be proud of the way their athletes have compet-ed this year. Good luck to those six from Mount Ver-non who will compete this week in Bloomingon.

By Dave PearceThe North Posey High School girls’ ten-

nis team was eliminated from competition this week but not before they had solidifi ed a place for themselves. This year’s graduat-ing seniors can say they have been part of North Posey back-to-back sectional cham-pionship girls’ tennis teams for the fi rst time…maybe ever. Last year’s sectional championship team marked the fi rst in 26 years for the Vikings.

“The girls were a little disappointed that they were not able to get into the regional fi nals and a chance to see how we would stack up against a defending state champi-onship team in Memorial,” Coach Brandon Barrett said of his team. “After we talked about the team’s accomplishments this sea-son, it was all good.”

The girls fi nish the season with a record of 10-5. The Lady Vikings gave Barrett the wins he needed to put him over the 40-win plateau since he took over the program four years ago, despite the fact that some match-es were cancelled and were not made up.

“We gave it all we had but we just ran into a good Gibson Southern team,” Bar-rett said. “They are solid up and down the line-up.”

But despite the disappointment, the Lady Vikings were not without their opportuni-ties as junior No. 1 singles player Shelbi Ackerman won her match and advanced to the individuals singles competition where she was defeated by Mount Vernon senior

Claire Schroeder. Ackerman advanced on the strength of her undefeated sectional record and her win at No. 1 singles in the regional.

But none of the other Vikings were able to pull out a win as the No. 2 doubles team of Brianna Perry and Carol Santos fell in three sets, losing the fi nal one 6-4. Brianna Brown and Maddi Koester each lost at No. 2 and No. 3 singles, respectively in straight sets, as did the No. 1 doubles team of Jor-dan Butler and Megan Durchholz.

“Bri jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the fi rst set but her opponent just completely stopped making errors,” Barrett said of his No. 2 singles player. “And the girl that beat Maddi at No. 3 lost in two very close sets to the Memorial girl the next night. That just shows you the level of competition she was facing.”

Barrett will be forced to fi nd help in un-derclassmen to fi ll spots that were taken by seniors this year in Brianna Brown, Megan Durchholz, Jordan Butler, and Brianna Perry.

“We will have two solid players coming back in singles next season in Shelby Ack-erman and Maddie Koester and we have some girls who have shown throughout the year that they will be ready to compete at the varsity level by the time the season rolls around next year,” Barrett said.

Youngsters interested in tennis camp this week may contact Barrett at 457-9694 or by fi lling out the form in this week’s paper.

By Dave PearceThe North Posey High School girls’ soft-

ball team’s season fi nally came to an end on Thursday evening. But it wasn’t until the girls defeated hosts Forest Park and nearby Southridge on back-to-back nights and mak-ing it to the sectional fi nal.

In the fi nal, the Vikings would run into an old nemesis, the Mater Dei Wildcats, ironi-cally the same team that spoiled their season opener, and fell by a score of 9-2. But con-trasts between the fi rst game of the year and the fi nal game are stark. The Vikings showed just how far they came in a relatively short period of time.

In the season opener, the Vikings appeared hapless against the Wildcats, dropping a 12-0 decision. But in Thursday night’s sectional fi nal at Forest Park, the Lady Vikings did things that no one else in the fi eld had done to Mater Dei. The Lady Vikes scored two runs on seven hits against one of the area’s pre-mier pitchers.

But after the game was tied at 2-all in the third, a couple of little things here and there transpired and suddenly the highly-favored Wildcats seized the opportunity and eventu-ally went on to win by a 9-2 score.

“There were a couple of things that oc-curred in that game that kind of broke our backs,” Gentil said. “We had to go to a dif-ferent way of coaching and they are such a

potent team that they could take advantage of it. When it was 2-2, we made them raise their game and we responded well in the next in-ning. We just had a couple of things that went against us and we were unable to keep that at-mosphere around us because we thought we were going to be able to tie it again there and it got taken away from us. But compliments to them because they raised their game and they are a very good team.”

But the sectional was the highlight of the year for the Lady Vikings, just as it should be.

“We thought we were coming into the sectionals playing our best ball altogether,” North Posey skipper Gary Gentil said. “We probably played the most consistent ball for three games in a row as we had all year. We had had some good games down the stretch but the girls really met the challenge in the sectional.”

North Posey sophomore pitcher Hailee El-derkin did not give up an earned run in the fi rst two games. She shut out the homestand-ing Rangers and turned around to take a 2-1 victory over Southridge the second night. But the combination of three straight nights of pitching and the caliber of the Wildcats proved to much to continue the torrid streak, but not before the Vikings had made their presence known.

A hero is defi ned as a per-son of distinguished cour-age or ability, admired for their brave deeds and noble qualities. This is true for Posey County resident Tra-vis Douglas. Douglas, who was honored at the 2013 American Red Cross Heroes banquet last week, exem-plifi es all that a hero is and should be.

Douglas has worked at Counter Designs in Evans-ville for the past 13 years. He also has been a Volunteer fi refi ghter with the Wades-ville Fire Department for the

past 20 years of his life. Often times at his work he will be called upon to look at an in-jury that has occurred among one of his fellow employees. And while most days on the job are routine and ordinary, the day that sticks out for Douglas and all that call him ‘hero’ is October 16, 2012.

On this date Douglas was called to another part of the plant because a fellow em-ployee had collapsed and was without a pulse. Travis immediately administered CPR and continued that until the Evansville Fire Depart-

ment was able to arrive and continue the work. Travis didn’t just step back and be-come a spectator though. He assisted the Evansville Fire Department by helping at-tach the defi brillator to the unconscious worker and helped to revive him. After the employee was revived, Douglas helped transport him to the ambulance.

Without Travis’ quick thinking, experience, and calm demeanor, the fellow employee might not have survived that day. And while many of us cannot fathom

being in that situation, for Douglas and many like him it’s all a part of the training they have received.

And so the next time you come across Douglas or an-other one of our brave emer-gency responders in Posey County, give your thanks for doing all they do for all of us in our times of need. Thanks Travis for your bravery and skill. You truly are a hero.

If you know someone that would be a candidate for Good Neighbor, give The Posey County News a call at 812-682-3950.

By Dave PearceNorth Posey utilized a

six run sixth inning to pull away from Forest Park for an 11-5 fi rst round sectional victory on Thursday night. The win moved the Vikings into Monday’s semi-fi nal round match-up with South Spencer.

“This was a hard-fought win as both teams battled through seven innings of action with a high level of intensity,” assessed North Posey coach Kevin Smith. “I am proud of how our young men handled the adversity we faced throughout the contest.”

Besides a spirited Ranger ball club the Vikings had to endure a 30-minute rain de-

lay during the game, as well as several missed scoring op-portunities.

“We gave ourselves a number of scoring chances from the get-go,” Smith added. “I thought we kept our focus and allowed our ability to be patient to come along to help us cash in on two big opportunities late in the game.”

Playing as the visiting team North Posey struck fi rst in the contest by tallying a run in their opening at-bat. Junior outfi elder Christian Jones started the game with a single, coming around to score on a two-out base hit by Nick Heldt to give the Vi-kings a 1-0 lead. The Vikings missed out on additional

scoring chances by stranding seven men through the fi rst four innings, which worked to allow Forest Park to break through for a tying run in the bottom of the fourth.

After the fi rst two Rang-ers reached base a heavy rainfall forced the teams off the fi eld. When the game re-sumed an infi eld single by Ranger freshman Ben Wend-holt plated the fi rst run of the night for the Rangers and gave them two men on, with no outs. However, North Posey was able to avoid further damage as senior hurler Kyle Voegel induced the Ranger clean-up hitter to ground into a 6-4-3 double play and then got their fi ve hitter to pop out to second base.

“Kyle’s ability to mini-mize the damage in the fourth was huge for us,” the Viking mentor noted. “We came off the fi eld with an ex-tra bounce in our step, which helped us at the plate.”

Help it did, as the Vikings broke through for four runs in the top of the fi fth inning.

Voegel started the North Posey rally by singling and after Alec Werry popped out to fi rst, Colton Martin walked and Heldt was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Senior Jacob Bender lined a one-out single to score Voe-gel and Martin for a 3-1 lead. Back-to-back singles by Ty-ler Stolz and Reed Gerteisen tallied the fi nal runs of the inning for a short-lived four run Viking cushion.

In the bottom of the frame the Rangers came right back to knot the score at 5-all. A lead-off walk and three con-secutive hits allowed Forest Park to gain momentum in the contest.

North Posey was fi nally able to grab control with their sixth inning outburst that began, for the second consecutive inning, with a lead-off single from Voegel. A base hit by Werry and a single from Martin allowed Voegel to cross the plate with what proved to be the win-ning run. The Vikings broke the game open with a bases loaded double by Bender and capped the scoring with a two-run double from senior Tyler Stolz.

Stolz pitched the fi nal three innings to earn the vic-tory.

“Give Forest Park credit as they kept coming at us with challenge after chal-lenge,” Smith said. “I have all the respect in the world for coach Howard’s program and their tenacity pushed us all the way through this game. I liked how our play-ers were able to stand up to each challenge and raise the bar on their performance to earn the win.”

Senior Kyle Voegel led the offensive attack for the winners by going 4-for-5 at the plate and scoring two runs. Stolz fi nished the night 3-for-4 with three RBIs, while Bender drove in fi ve runs on two hits.

*OFFER ONLY VALID**UNTIL JUNE 30TH*

By Steven KocherspergerOne of the more diffi cult

things to do in sports is to beat an opponent multiple times in the season. Mount Vernon found this out the hard way on Wednesday as they opened up the boys baseball sectional against

an opponent they had al-ready beaten twice this sea-son, including a shutout win just the Saturday before. Gibson Southern came into the game hoping to steal one from the Wildcats and did just that beating Mount Vernon 7-3.

The Titans wasted no time getting on base and on the scoreboard, scoring three runs in the top of the fi rst inning on several hits and a Wildcat error to go ahead early 3-0. This lead helped Gibson Southern to relax a bit more and built their confi dence in them-selves as well.

The Wildcats answered back though, loading the bases in the bottom of the fi rst for senior River Van-Zant. VanZant drew a full count walk to get the Cats on the board and cut the lead to 3-1. The very next inning the Wildcats would cut even further into the Titan lead. Logan Brown walked and Bryce Newman laid down an impressive sacrifi ce bunt to move Brown to second base. Junior Trevor Veeck’s base hit plated Brown and the Wildcats trailed only one run 3-2 after just two innings of play.

Gibson Southern and Mount Vernon then traded runs the next inning of play. The Titans got a home run to left fi eld to make the score 4-2 in the third and Mount Vernon answered in the bot-tom of the inning with a two

out single making the score 4-3 after three innings.

The one run game at that point gave the Wildcat faithful and coaches hope they would pull this game out like they had done so many times this season. “Early on being down 4-3 we were feeling pretty good,” Wildcat coach Paul Quinzer said after the game. “We were putting guys on base the whole time against their pitcher. But their pitcher made an adjustment and started throwing break-ing balls and our hitters couldn’t make the adjust-ment. We started chasing the ball and started popping the ball up. We just made it too easy for them.”

The Titans added two more runs in the sixth in-ning and one more in the seventh to ice the game and beat Mount Vernon for the fi rst time this season.

Mount Vernon ends the season with a great over-all record of 21-8. And for coach Quinzer a great sea-son followed by an early exit is something he is tired of seeing. “We have had teams like this many times that have a great regular season but come to the sec-tional and don’t do what we all thought they would,” Quinzer said. “We have a great group of guys and this loss is not easy.”

Mount Vernon says good-bye now to a great group of seniors that have given a lot to the program and turn it over to the younger classes of players. Those seniors, JT Silvers, Hank Daus-man, River VanZant, Collin Varner, Ross Canada, Seth Reeves, Jevin Redman, Clay Ford, and Drake Mc-Namara are going to leave a big hole in Wildcat baseball and will be missed by all.

Posey alums fi nd success at VUHunter Motz and Ken

Renshaw did it again. The North Posey and Mount Vernon High School gradu-ates ended their successful Vincennes University Cross Country and Track running careers by recently quali-fying and competing in the NJCAA National Outdoor Track Championships in Hutchinson, Kansas. This Nationals was their sixth championship in two years in which they both quali-fi ed and competed during their Trailblazer seasons in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. Motz competed in the 3K Stee-

plechase while Renshaw ran the 1,500M event. Motz also broke the VU all-time record of 9:39.66 for the Steeplechase during his season - breaking it twice and resetting it for 9:28.23. He was also honored and

named All-American by the NJCAA Track Association for his podium fi nish. Motz plans to continue his edu-cation and running career by joining the University of Southern Indiana Eagles team in the Fall.

In the opener, Elderkin struck out 11 Ranger batters and pitched herself out of at least two jams to claim the shutout and the win.

Courtney Crowder opened North Posey sectional play by singling and stealing second but the Vikings were not able to push a run across the plate until late in the game.

Elderkin showed her resolve in the fourth inning when she got behind the lead-off hitter 3-1 only to come back and strike her out. The next batter reached on an error and Elderkin then gave up a single and it looked like things were getting out of hand.

But with two on and one out, it took 11 pitches to get the Forest Park pitcher out. She fell behind 0-2 but then fouled off the next three pitches before taking two balls in a row to even the count at 2-all. She then fouled off two more pitches before taking ball three to reach a full count. But Elderkin’s change-up, developed mostly during this season, fooled the

batter and got the second out.The next batter fl ied out to end the inning and the threat.The Vikings had a chance of their own in the top of the

fi fth when Anna Will reached on an error and Taylor Franklin moved her over with a bunt. Haylee Harness reached on an error. But the Vikings were unable to score as a sacrifi ce fl y came up too short and the fi nal batter lined out.

The Vikings fi nally got on the board with the only run they would need in the top of the seventh inning.

Megan Baehl led off the inning with a single and Anna Will reached on a fi elder’s choice. Franklin was then cut down on a fi elder’s choice before Harness would deliver with a big RBI single into the gap.

The seventh inning was anything but easy as the fi rst batter singled on the fi rst pitch. The next Forest Park hitter walked and. But again, Elderkin settled in and got the remainder of the outs with solid defense behind her. The fi nal pitch of the game was a change-up that was right down the heart of the plate as the fi nal chance the Rangers had watched.

In the semi-fi nal against Southridge, the Lady Vikes also had their chances to throw in the towel…but they didn’t.

In the bottom of the third inning, with two out and a run-ner on second, a wild pitch moved the runner over to third. The batter bunted and Elderkin fi elded the bunt perfectly but when she turned to throw, the ball apparently slipped out of her hand and the runner from third scored.

But the Lady Vikings had the young pitcher’s back. In the top of the fourth with one out, Blake Gamblin singled and Crowder reached on a fi elder’s choice. Madi Elpers then walked before Kelsey Owen ripped a two RBI double into the gap. From that point on, the Vikings were never really threatened as they danced into the title game with the 2-1 win.

“We had six seniors this year and their leadership was ex-tremely valuable,” Gentil said of his graduates. “I could say a whole lot about each one of them but they will each be missed.”

The Vikings fi nished the season 12-14 with three games cancelled with the spring weather.

Coach Dave Bell said after the game that the match up with the Pioneers was one they have seen all too often this season. “The game was a mirror of the season,” Bell said. “If we do not give the other teams runs we win. Very few teams just came out and hit it all over the park to score against us this season.”

This was very true in Tuesday’s game as well. Boonville took the early lead in the top of the fi rst inning when two routine ground balls were mis-handled by the Wildcat de-fense. This allowed Boon-

ville to score their fi rst run and go ahead 1-0.

The score would stay this way for several in-nings. Wildcat Morgan Matthews pitched a solid game collecting three strikeouts and keeping the score close in those open-ing innings. Coach Bell praised Matthews efforts and was proud of the way she played. “Morgan Mat-thews did a nice job of keeping us in the game,” Bell said. “Our pitching was fi ne. It was the lack of offensive production early on that hurt us. In the fi rst three innings we had run-ners in scoring position each inning with less than two outs and don’t score.”

The fi rst two innings saw promise for the Wild-cats. In the bottom of the fi rst senior Tylyn Tanner doubled and moved to third on the right fi elder’s fi elding error. Tanner was stranded at third though. In the bottom of the sec-ond Brittany Wilson drew a walk and catcher Andrea Dick got on base on yet another Boonville error. After Dick stole second the Wildcats had runners on second and third with no outs in the inning. That’s when Boonville freshman pitcher Jordyn Buxton stepped up for her team and struck out the next three Wildcat batters.

Boonville would break the game open in the fourth inning scoring three more runs to build their lead at 4-0. And just when

the Pioneers were getting comfortable with their lead Mount Vernon struck back. After Andrea Dick was hit by a pitch Mor-gan Matthews got on base with a base hit to left fi eld. Kelley McCloud’s sacri-fi ce bunt moved the run-ners into scoring position and junior Madison Den-ning plated the fi rst run of the game for the wildcats when she grounded out to fi rst. Katie Tucker then hit Matthews in cutting the defi cit in half at 4-2 after four innings of play.

But that’s as close as the Wildcats would come to the Pioneers in the game. Boonville scored three m ore times in the sixth in-ning closing out the game and the season for the lady cats. Boonville moved on with a 7-2 win over Mount Vernon, beating the cats for the second time this season.

“We feel like we ex-ecuted the different situa-tions we had been working on,” coach Bell said. “We just didn’t make the rou-tine plays or get hits when we needed them. It’s hard to win when you don’t do those things.”

With the loss the season comes to an end for Mount Vernon. The Cats say goodbye to three of their own, Morgan Matthews, Tylyn Tanner, and Brit-tany Wilson. Those three seniors will be missed on the fi eld and around town. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication these past for years.

By Steven KocherspergerThe Mount Vernon girls’

tennis team held their awards banquet this past week to honor both the team and the individual ef-forts this season. The team fi nished the regular season with just two losses, an im-pressive season to say the least. And even though that great regular season didn’t end in a sectional crown, the Wildcats have many things to be proud of this year.

On Monday at the ban-quet the team awarded se-nior Claire Schroeder with the Most Valuable Player award. Claire has played in the number one singles spot all year and has dominated her opponents all season long. This past week Schro-eder played in the singles sectional championship and beat North Posey’s Shelby Ackerman 6-2, 6-2. She will now advance to the Regional

play at Bedford North Law-rence High School June 1.

Junior Sara O’Neil was awarded the honors of Most Improved at the banquet while Hayley Salaman was given the Mental Attitude award. O’Neil and Salaman also played singles tennis this season and were a big part of the success of the Wildcat team. Both ladies played hard all year long improving their individual game to bring Mount Ver-non success.

At the Banquet the team also gave out letters to the athletes that earned them. Earning Varsity letters this season were: Claire Schro-eder, Sara O’Neil, Hayley Salaman, Devon Allyn, Ri-ley Keating, Livia Hopper, Zoe Burkhart, and Megan McCarty. These players earned these letters by put-ting in the time and effort necessary at the Varsity

level.Earning Junior Varsity

letters this year were a great group of underclassmen who are proving that the fu-ture is very bright for Mount Vernon tennis. Those letters went to Alyssa Marlowe,

Brooke Simpkins, Kendyl Scheller, Shawna Clark, Ka-tie Huff, Rachel Rohlman, Emily Keitel, and Madi Copp, The Junior Varsity played very well this season and gained the experience and knowledge necessary to

bring a bright future to the tennis program.

The Tennis team says goodbye to two seniors who graduate and move on in their lives. Their accom-plishments and hard work will be missed by all at the

school and within the tennis program. Those two seniors are Devon Allyn and Claire Schroeder. Thank you ladies for your years of service and hard work to the tennis program. You have made us proud.

As motorists take to the roads this Memorial Day holiday, the Indiana Crimi-nal Justice Institute (ICJI) is urging everyone to buckle up as Indiana’s 2013 Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement effort beings Friday.

Click It or Ticket follows Indiana’s 21-day Rural Dem-onstration Project (RDP), which ends today. Approxi-mately 15 law enforcement agencies in 14 Indiana coun-ties participated in RDP in conjunction with the Indiana State Police. RDP further in-creased high visibility seat belt patrols in areas with higher percentages of unre-strained fatalities.

Click It or Ticket is sup-ported by thousands of law enforcement agencies and traffi c safety advocates across the country. In Indiana alone, more than 250 law enforce-ment agencies will conduct special patrols – day and night, to identify and ticket unrestrained motorists. The effort concludes June 2.

“As we kick-off the busy summer driving season it’s important that everyone buckles up every trip, every time - both day and night. No excuses,” said ICJI Executive Director, Mary Allen. “Our law enforcement partners are

prepared to ticket anyone who is not wearing their seat belt.”

During Indiana’s 2012 Click It or Ticket mobiliza-tion, from May 18-June 3, participating law enforce-ment agencies issued a total of 18,104 citations to drivers who were not wearing seat belts. During the same time period, there were 170 col-lisions and 12 fatalities that occurred on Indiana road-ways involving unrestrained motorists, with 91 ejections occurring due to nonuse of restraints.

Specifi cally, during the 2012 Memorial Day week-end, there were 41 collisions and two fatalities that oc-curred on Indiana roadways involving unrestrained mo-torists, with 30 ejections oc-curring due to nonuse of re-

straints.According to the U.S. De-

partment of Transportation’s National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration (NHT-SA), 52 percent of the 21,253 passenger vehicle occupants killed in 2011 were not wear-ing their seat belts at the time of the crash.

Deaths involving seat belt nonuse are more prevalent at night than during the daytime. According to NHTSA, 62 percent of the 10,135 passen-ger vehicle occupants killed in 2011 during the overnight hours of 6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash.

Tragically, these national statistics are mirrored in the Hoosier state. In Indiana, there were 3,450 crashes and 274 fatalities in 2012, involv-ing unrestrained passenger

vehicle occupants. A total of 1,197 people were ejected from their motor vehicles due to being unrestrained.

“Clearly there is more work to be done. Although In-diana’s current seat belt usage rate is 93.6 percent – there remain a signifi cant number of drivers who are at an in-creased risk for death or in-jury because they still fail to buckle up on a regular basis,” Allensaid.

Nationwide, younger mo-torists and men are particu-larly at risk. According to NHTSA, among teens and young adults, ages 18-34, killed in fatal crashes in 2011, 64 percent were not buckled up at the time of the crash - the highest percentage of any age group. The number jumps to 66 percent when only men in this age group are included.

Statewide enforcement for the 2013‘Click It or Ticket’ program is now in progress

Rollin’ on the River – June 7

The Ohio River is pretty important to Evansville, but why? We’ll discuss the role the Ohio River played in the founding of Evansville, paint using the River as inspiration, and learn how water from the Ohio River is treated to be used in our homes.

So You Wanna Be an Art-ist – June 14

Participants will cover a wide range of artistic me-diums in a short amount of time. We’ll learn about acrylic paints, oil paints, wa-tercolors, collage, clay, and sculpture. A trip to the Mu-seum’s permanent collection will provide inspiration for creating our own Master-piece. The day will end with

a reception and our own art exhibit.

Let’s Build a Bridge – June 21

By designing, building, and testing the weight capacity of the components of bridges by using straws and paper clips, children will grasp a key en-gineering concept: the truss. We will learn about and ex-periment with different truss designs and test each design to its breaking point. The class concludes with the con-struction of a scale model of a bridge. Pattern recognition and motor skills will also be developed as students con-struct their bridge.

Scientist for a Day – June 28

Campers will enjoy a day designed to give students a taste of life as a scientist. Ev-eryone will learn about the

Scientifi c Method through experiments and hands-on activities.

Stars and Stripes – July 5In this fun, patriotic themed

day participants will learn the history behind the Fourth of July. We’ll make our own fl ags, learn the science behind fi reworks, and learn some fun facts about America. Snacks will be a fun look at food cre-ated in America.

Unlocking the Secrets of Ancient Egypt – July 12

Walk like an Egyptian. Participants will explore the myths and truths about mum-mifi cation through the Mu-seum’s own teaching mummy – EMASHOTEP, an Egyptian Royal. We will plan a tradi-tional Egyptian funeral, make our own Egyptian cuffs and sleeves, and sample Egyptian snacks.
