By Dave PearceNearly all of the news was good

news for Posey County residents at the Tuesday morning meeting of the Posey County Council…with em-phasis on the “nearly.”

In the two largest items, the Council heard from representatives of Bristol Myers that the company is planning a major expansion at the Mount Vernon site that will add some 30 jobs. The jobs will include 28 hourly jobs that will pay around $28 an hour as well as two salaried jobs.

Bristol Myers representative William Hayes told member of the Council that by an investment of over $76 million, the company has committed to make the Posey County site a “significant part of it’s continuing plan.”

The company is requesting per-sonal property tax abatement on the project which is expected to be-gin in early July and be completed sometime in 2014. Councilmen showed excitement about the plan and agreed to continue to watch progress at the site while the abate-ment is being considered.

But while one of the county’s largest employers was seeking an abatement, another was working with the county to try and get repay-ment of taxes that were overpaid for three years at SABIC and General Electric.

County attorney Beth McFadin-Higgins reported that she had been in negotiations with both SABIC and the former owner of the Mount Vernon facility, General Electric, for overpayment of taxes. The com-panies recently won an appeal of the taxation with General Electric being owed just over half a million and SABIC standing to be refunded just over a$1 million.

McFadin-Higgins said both com-panies had shown a willingness to work with the county on refunding the overpayment. General Elec-tric agreed to a three-year repay-ment plan for their $515,000 while SABIC has agreed to accept credit on future taxes instead of forcing the county to repay the amount owed them.

The overpayment was in the calendar years of 2006-2008, was made at the Black Township Asses-sor’s Office, is expected to be felt by several Black Township-funded entities such as schools and libraries in the coming months.

News of the overpayment and subsequent refunds due overshad-owed the nod given by the Posey County Council to fund a fourth ambulance in Posey County.

The Council gave it’s OK to go ahead with plans to purchase and supply/staff another ambulance. Commissioner Jim Alsop and Posey EMS Director Chuck Thompson had presented the proposal to the council to purchase a gas-powered ambulance with a total price tag of $286,000. Members of the council instructed Thompson to pursue pur-chase of a diesel-powered ambu-lance at a cost of $319,000.

Thompson told members of the council that Evansville-based AMR has been leaning toward gasoline engines because of upkeep costs of the diesel-powered trucks but mem-bers of the council voted unani-mously to go with the diesel engine, despite the additional cost.

Thompson indicated that he would need to hire five additional employees and the council instruct-ed him to do what he needed to do and to try and get the ambulance into service by July 1. Thompson

A 7,000-pound wrecking ball knocks the first piece of metal off the riverfront silos in Mount Vernon early yesterday morning, June 20. All metal was being removed from the top of the silos in prepa-ration for Elite Environmental to complete asbestos removal. Klenck Company will then return the 7,000-pound wrecking ball to bring down the silos themselves. Nick Funke, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Klenck Company, says the demolition will take three days and projects the silos will be on the ground by July 4. He added that the time-consuming clean-up should be complete by August 1. Photo by Pam Robinson

Silo work finally begins...

Two Posey County resi-dents are facing charges related to manufacturing methamphetamine after of-ficers of the Posey County Narcotics Unit and other area law enforcement agen-cies found an active meth lab at their rural Ranch Road residence Monday, June 13.

The narcotics unit had obtained a search warrant for the residence in the 11,000 block of Ranch Road in connection with an on-going methamphetamine investigation.

Serving the warrant about 10 p.m., with assis-tance from Indiana State Police, sheriff’s officers and Poseyville and New Harmony police, the officers ob-served a man leaving the area in a vehicle. A woman and two small children were inside the residence, which contained the working meth lab.

Cassandra Lannan, 24, was arrested on prelimi-nary charges of manufacturing methamphetamine,

possession of two or more precursors with intent to manufacture, possession of methamphetamine, main-taining a common nuisance and neglect of a child.

The two children were turned over to the custody of he Indiana Child and Family Services.

Marrs Township Fire De-partment and Posey County

EMS were summoned to assist while officers disman-tled the meth lab.

A short while later, Kevin Lannan, 28, the driver of the car seen leaving the area, was located and arrested in Evansville on Posey County charges of manufactur-ing methamphetamine, possession of two or more pre-cursors with intent to manufacture, possession of meth-amphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance.

Both were lodged in the Posey County Jail where bond for Cassandra Lannan was set at $30,000 cash and Kevin Lannan at $50,000 cash.

Meth arrests follow Ranch Road warrant

Kevin Lannan Cassandra Lannan

By Pam RobinsonPosey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers and Pro-

bation Officer Michelle Fortune filed the petition for revocation of probation along with an affidavit of prob-able cause to arrest on Wednesday, June 15, 2011, for Charles F. Poston, previously found guilty of child molesting. On Thursday, June 16, 2011, Judge James Redwine responded by issuing a warrant for the arrest of Poston for violating the terms of his suspended sen-tence by establishing a personal Facebook account.

In a phone interview, Clowers explained that a con-cerned citizen tipped the prosecutor’s office to Pos-ton’s Facebook account. In turn, Clowers and Fortune verified Poston’s use of Facebook on June 15, filed the appropriate legal documents on the same day and con-tacted local law enforcement.

Clowers commented, “We cannot release any infor-mation on where he was using the computer; however, we are still investigating.”

Regarding Poston’s Facebook use, the petition for revocation of probation notes, “It appears this ac-count was created by Mr. Poston on or before June 11, 2011.”

According to Clowers, the plea agreement in Pos-ton’s child molesting case was reached by former Posey County Prosecutor Jodi Uebelhack and former Deputy Prosecutor Jake Warrum and was filed in Circuit Court on April 7, 2008. The plea agreement called for five

years in prison followed by one year of probation.The petition for revocation of probation spells out

the terms of Poston’s one-year probation as established in Circuit Court on November 1, 2010: “You shall not access the Internet or any other on-line service through use of a computer, cell phone, iPod, Xbox, Blackberry, personal digital assistant (PDA), pagers, Palm Pilots, televisions, or any other electronic device at any lo-cation (including your place of employment) without prior approval of your probation officer. This includes any Internet service provider, bulletin board system, e-mail system or any other public or private computer network. You shall not possess or use any data encryp-tion technique or program.”

As of Monday morning, Poston was being held in Posey County Jail. Jail officials confirmed he was be-ing held on a $10,000 security or a $1,000 cash bond.

On Monday afternoon, Poston was scheduled to appear in Posey Circuit Court for an initial hearing in which he was given the option to admit or deny the petition for revocation of probation. In addition, he was informed of his right to legal counsel and was informed of his right to a hearing to contest this matter.

Clowers will argue the case for Poston to serve his remaining term of probation in state prison. The Circuit Court judge will decide the outcome.

The Posey County News will provide additional in-formation as it becomes available.

Mount Vernon Mayor John Tucker and Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon School Supt. Tom Kopatich stand in front of some of the drawings for plans to correct issues with storm sewers near West Elementary School. On the third try, the city was able to secure over a half-million in grants to help pay for the project. See complete story on Page B4.

Blood Donation Oppor-tunities for July:

The Independence Day holiday will surely ignite many spectacular fi re-works extravaganzas, and the American Red Cross is also counting on a spark of donors to boost the blood supply. All blood types are needed to help maintain a suffi cient blood supply for patients in need. During the holiday week and throughout the summer, donations tend to dip, but the need for blood is constant.

While all blood types are needed during the critical summer months, Rh nega-tive blood types are always in high demand because they potentially can be transfused to patients with Rh positive or Rh negative blood types. Type O negative, the univer-sal blood type, can potential-ly be transfused to patients with any blood type.

To show appreciation to those who help save lives near the upcoming Indepen-dence Day holiday (June 27 – July 6), all presenting donors at Red Cross blood drives and blood donation centers in the River Valley Region will automatically be entered for a chance to win a portable Garmin GPS unit. This is a part of the Red Cross’ summer-long Good to

Give. Good to Go. promotion that features holiday-themed raffl es and a chance for one lucky donor (21 and older) in the Mid-America Blood Services Division to win a trip for four (4) to Orlando, Florida.

How to Donate BloodSimply call 1-800-RED

CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information.

A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identifi cation are re-quired at check-in. Individu-als who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are generally in good health may be eli-gible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight re-quirements.

About the American Red Cross

Governed by volunteers and supported by giving in-dividuals and communities, the American Red Cross is the single largest supplier of blood products to hospitals throughout the United States. While local hospital needs are always met fi rst, the Red Cross also helps ensure no patient goes without blood

no matter where or when they need it. In addition to provid-ing nearly half of the nation’s blood supply, the Red Cross provides relief to victims of disaster, trains millions in lifesaving skills, serves as a communication link between U.S. military members and their families, and assists victims of international di-sasters or confl icts.7/1/11 7 a.m.- 3 p.m. Stockwell Blood Donation Center 29 South Stockwell Road, Evansville 7/2/11 7 a.m.- 2 p.m. Stockwell Blood Donation Center 29 South Stockwell Road, Evansville 7/5/11 12 p.m.- 6 p.m. Stockwell Blood Donation Center 29 South Stockwell Road, Evansville 7/6/11 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Stockwell Blood Donation Center 29 South Stockwell Road, Evansville 7/7/11 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Stockwell Blood Donation

Annual July 4 Golf Cart Parade

Over the past few months a group of volunteers have been working toward reno-vating the livestock barns at the 4 - H Fairgrounds. Many of the facilities were built 50+ years ago and are in need of renovation.

A plan was developed to build a new show arena, a new horse barn, and then refurbish the pens and

stalls. Projected cost of the project is $185,000 thus the $31,000 is a good start but there is lots of work ahead.

The group will continue to meet, discuss the proj-ect's direction, and reevalu-ate its progress. Anyone wishing to make a dona-tion can do so by sending a check to the Posey County 4 - H Barns Project, PO

Box 565, Mount Vernon, Ind. 47620. All donations are being held in an ac-count that would allow re-turn of the donations if the project does not come to fruition.

For more information one can contact committee members including, B. J. Reynolds, Bob Prince, Jon Neufelder, or Jim Swinney.

By Valerie WerkmeisterIn what Superintendent Dr. Todd Camp called a win-win

for both sides, the NEA of North Posey and the MSD of North Posey reached a two-year contract agreement for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years. Camp made the an-nouncement, and the board approved the contract during their regular meeting Monday, June 13.

The contract grants a 1.5 percent stipend, a 0.5 percent in-crease to the salary schedules and a one percent stipend in 2012-2013. The stipends will be paid in March of each re-spective year. Non-certifi ed and cafeteria staff were granted a 1.5 percent stipend for the 2011-2012 school year. They will also receive a 0.5 percent increase in the salary schedule with a one percent stipend in 2012 and 2013.

Bus drivers were given a $1 increase to their salary sched-ule per day.

It was also the end of Camp’s contract and the board ap-proved to extend the contract to the 2013-2014 school year. Camp also received a $1,000 performance stipend that will be paid on the June 24, payroll, a $1,500 increase in salary for the 2011- 2012 school year and a $100 increase in the cell phone allowance for the top tier cell phone participants. Members of the technology department are included in the top tier of this program.

Textbook fees for the upcoming school year were ap-proved. The fees are as follows: kindergarten - $43.96; 1st grade - $71.50; 2nd grade – 68.30; 3rd grade – 67.36; 4th grade – 76.11; 5th grade – 80.46; 6th grade – 81.94. An ad-ditional $2 art fee will also be added.

South Terrace Principal Kelly Carlton plans to incorporate detentions as a form of punishment for the upcoming school

year. The change was noted in the student handbook and ap-proved by the school board. Students with detention will be expected to stay an additional 30 minutes after school on des-ignated days. Parents will be expected to pick up the students after detention. Camp said the school will work with parents to determine a day that will fi t their schedule.

Personnel issues dominated a bulk of the meeting with many resignations as well as several new hires were an-nounced and approved. Resignations included the following: Jessica Ivy as the cross country coach; Krystal Roudebush as the freshman volleyball coach; Rob Deters as the junior high football coach; Pam Redman as a cook at South Terrace and Ronna Mullins as a bus driver.

At South Terrace Elementary, Christine Fulton was hired as a new fi rst grade teacher, Dustin George was hired as a new fourth grade teacher and Alison Rose will work as a pre-school teacher. Valerie Parker was also hired as a new cook.

At North Elementary (NES), Amber Oakley will teach the new pre-school program half day and the developmentally delayed pre-school half day. Leah Weber was hired as a new fourth grade teacher.

At the high school, Amy Moore will become the new art teacher, Carrie Schmitt will teach English and Kevin Smith will also teach English and serve as the new head baseball coach. Paige Quaide will serve as the new math teacher.

At the junior high, Jonathan Spencer will assume the ad-ditional role of junior high football coach. Krystle Roudebush will become the new 8th grade volleyball coach.

Emily Dillon was hired as new bus driver.Camp gave a report on how the NES renovation project is

progressing. The wood fascia on the outside of the building

was rotten and will need to be replaced. Camp is waiting on the quote from the contractor to factor this into the project overage costs.

The board also discussed the fl ooding and drainage prob-lem under the high school bleachers. Board president Joe Neidig noted they will need to discuss plans for a resolution to the problem soon.

Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth contacted Camp to dis-cuss the possibility of assigning a school resource offi cer to North Posey. The possibility of a matching grant program ex-ists and Camp stated they could also use funds from the Safe and Healthy Schools grant to help pay for an offi cer’s salary. The idea will be further discussed in upcoming meetings.

In other business, the board approved:•A request by Scott Kavanaugh to assume responsibil-

ity of the junior high vending machines for the upcoming school year. A vending machine will be purchased at a cost of $1,600. All proceeds from the machine will go towards the junior high’s extra-curricular activity or ECA account fund. Kavanaugh hopes to eliminate the need for future junior high school fundraisers.

•A request by North Elementary School Principal Tim Teel to use $1,850 in ECA funds to purchase mulch for the play-ground.

•A grant submittal by Marilyn Rogers for the biomedical science department. The board also noted Rogers’ extra time and efforts working on this program.

•Heather Brandle’s FMLA request from August 24 to Oc-tober 6 for maternity leave.

The next regular school board meeting will be held on Monday, July 11, at 6:30 p.m. in the corporation offi ce.

Pastor’s Weekly Devo-tion, Pastoral Ministries

"Father lived solely for the glory of God and for the spread of the Gospel of JesusChrist" (The Life of Dwight L. Moody, William R. Moody, Introduction). These are the words Wil-liam R. Moody wrote in the biography about his father, Dwight L. Moody.

What greater testimony could a father receive from his son?

The demands of ministry need not distract or take away from being the godly dad. Dwight L. Moody had a demanding schedule as a pastor, evangelist, leader of Bible Institute and exten-sive traveling for his min-istry. Yet home was home to him.

In the biography, his son wrote, "The home, above all other places, is where a man most truly reveals him-

self, and here Mr. Moody was at his best. Home was the sweetest place upon earth to him, . . . Entering into all the plans and inter-ested in everything which demanded the attention of the members of his family, he made their life his own. . . Nothing was too trifl ing for his notice, and in the home and community he became the great burden-bearer" (ibid, p.515).

Among the qualifi ca-tions for pastors, fam-ily life is twice referred to. One of these is having the respect of their children. (I Timothy 4-5). Godly dads cannot keep their children from choosing the wrong course in life. But they can be the dad God has called them to be.

The following charac-teristics make pastors who have children a good dad.

Living an authentic

faith. It's not feeling the pressure of being a good dad because you are a pas-tor. It's being a good dad because that's your desire as a believer.

How you really handle life is what makes a lasting impression on your chil-dren.

Confi rming each child's individuality within the family. One of the most important roles of parents is affi rming the godly person-hood of each child. How a son or daughter is affi rmed in the home prepares them for healthy relationships with their future spouse, children and others.

Respect the maturity level of each child. A dad is to be a protector of his family.

This includes protecting them from the mindset of the world. Involved in this is protecting their child-

hood, that is letting them mature in pace with their physical body and learning level of their mind.

Maintain quality and quantity time with family. Many dads have a schedule that involves being away from home. One thing to remember is when at home be at home. This means giving full attention to family life. Carve out time for those special events in a child's life. Children can accept a dad's work sched-ule when they know they have a place of priority in his life.

Let other godly people infl uence your children.In connecting with your children, godly people can reinforce your values and impact their life in areas you can't.

And when your children hit those teenage years and beyond, they will more

likely trust you in helping them connect with the right people.

Also, pastors have the opportunity of acquainting their children with godly infl uencers in the commu-nity, country and world. These may be missionaries, Christian business persons, other noteworthy people or just special ordinary peo-ple. Such people can have a lasting impression on your children. There are perks in being a preacher's kid.

Pass the blessing on to each child. In their book, The Blessing, Gary Smal-ley and John Trent describe the family blessing as hav-ing fi ve elements. "A fam-ily blessing begins with meaningful touching. It continues with a spoken message of high value, a message that pictures a special future for the indi-vidual being blessed, and

one that is based on an active commitment to see the blessing come to pass" (p. 27). Foremost is giving your children a faith that has eternal value.

As a dad, treasure the relationship with your chil-dren. Let them know what they mean to you.

Scripture"He (overseer) must rule

his own household well, keeping his children under control, with true dignity, commanding their respect in every way and keeping them respectful"

(I Timothy 3:4, Ampli-fi ed Bible).

"Fathers, do not irritate and provoke your children to anger-do not exasperate them to resentment-but rear them (tenderly) in the train-ing and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4, Amplifi ed Bible).

Arif Quraishi, vice president, Sales & Marketing, Energy Solutions – Americas, John-son Controls, presents Chuck Gray, water superintendent, city of Mount Vernon, Ind., with a Building Effi ciency Local Leader (BELL) Award at the 2011 AWWA Conference & Expo on June 13, in Washington, D.C. The BELL Award is presented to communi-ties that demonstrate outstanding commitment to energy effi ciency and environmental stewardship. Gray and the Mount Vernon utility board recently implemented a compre-hensive water conservation program that is expected to save more than $13 million in energy costs over 15 years.

Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), the global leader in delivering solutions to mu-nicipalities that optimize energy and water effi cien-cies in buildings, recognized Chuck Gray, water superin-tendent, city of Mt. Vernon, Ind., yesterday evening with a Building Effi ciency Local Leader (BELL) Award. The BELL Award was presented at the company’s signature Leak Detectives reception, as part of the 2011 American Water Works Association (AWWA) Annual Confer-ence & Exposition (ACE11) in Washington, D.C.

The BELL Award is pre-sented to individuals and mu-nicipalities that demonstrate outstanding environmental stewardship and commit-ment to energy effi ciency. With support from the city’s utility board, Gray’s leader-ship to successfully imple-

ment a comprehensive water conservation program earned him this recognition.

“I’m honored to receive this award on behalf of the city of Mt. Vernon,” said Gray. “This vital water con-servation program will have a lasting positive impact on our community, providing our city with safe water, signifi cant cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint without increasing tax dol-lars.”

The multi-phase water and energy program launched in 2007 with the implementa-tion of an Automated Meter Reading (AMR), including the replacement of 3,300 outdated water meters. Phase two completed in 2010, included wastewater treatment plant upgrades, increasing treatment capac-ity to 4.4 million gallons and preventing 720,000 gallons

of untreated water per day from being discharged into the Ohio River. The compre-hensive program is expected to save Mt. Vernon more than $13 million in energy costs over 15 years.

“Gray and the utility board should be commended for their vision and ongo-ing efforts to make a real difference for Mt.

POSEY COUNTY 4-HPOSEY COUNTY 4-H

By Pam RobinsonTerri Austin, Executive Director of the Mount Vernon

Housing Authority, received welcome notifi cation this past Tuesday, June 14, from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, in Washington, D.C. For the second year in a row, HUD has designated Clover-leaf Apartments in Mount Vernon as a “High Performer.” In addition, HUD conferred the title on Mount Vernon’s Section 8 housing.

The High Performer award is the most prestigious award the federal agency can bestow on a housing authority. This year’s High Performer designation results from inspections conducted earlier in the month for both Cloverleaf and Sec-tion 8 housing.

Cloverleaf scored a 99.6 percent—the highest score re-ceived since 1998—out of a possible 100 points. Last year, the 35-year-old facility scored a 91 for the fi rst time in over 10 years. A High Performer must earn at least 90 out of 100 points.

HUD surveyors judged performance at Cloverleaf in four areas: fi nancial, management, resident satisfaction and physical. Austin explains that the facility lost four-tenths of a point to a steamy window with a broken seal.

The half-day inspection included a look at 21 resident apartments chosen randomly along with the grounds around and all common areas inside the four-story complex. The High Performer award entitles Cloverleaf to greater federal funding for capital improvements to the building.

Austin credits the success of Cloverleaf to diligent con-tract laborers, dedicated maintenance and offi ce staff and conscientious tenants who report issues in the building as they arise.

“I have two of the best maintenance staff anywhere in Danette Higdon and Leroy Lindenberg,” Austin states.

She praises Cloverleaf secretary Glenda Bullard for her organizational and interpersonal skills.

Although based on different criteria, Section 8 hous-ing was noted as a Higher Performer also. The inspection, known as a SEMAP review, looks at randomly-selected charts to insure family incomes and monthly rents have been fi gured correctly. After reviewing the charts herself, Austin sat with an auditor who checked the accuracy of the records.

Again, Austin credits her staff with the accomplishment: Section 8 Coordinator Sue Lindenberg and her assistant Su-zanne Robison.

A total of 83 residents, primarily senior citizens, make their home at Cloverleaf while 181 families live in Section 8 housing. Cloverleaf has a small waiting list of appli-cants while Section 8 housing has a waiting list of over 100 families. Austin said more families than ever before await Section 8 housing due to the troubled economy.

The community can take pride in knowing the Mount Vernon Housing Authority facilities are ranked the highest in Indiana under HUD guidance, performing the best they possibly can.

Cloverleaf receives second straight HUD honor

Gavel Gamut’s “$14 Trillion and Counting”

Wendy McNamara -- Helping Hoosier Farmers

TRUTH...STRANGERTHANFICTIONBY DAVEPEARCE

Agriculture has been a staple of Indiana’s economy from the time our state was fi rst settled to present day. Hoosier farmers bring im-mense value to our state from providing Indiana with a robust industry to supply-ing our farmers markets.

This legislative session, it was important to me that I aid our farmers in as many ways possible which is why I supported legislation to help Hoosier farmers. It is essen-tial that legislators take steps to protect Indiana’s agricul-tural community.

Agritourism is critical to the economic health of rural regions in our state and to the sustainability of family farms. House Enrolled Act 1133 addresses agritourist safety and liability reform.

Agritourism is a booming industry in Indiana and allows Hoosiers the ability to expe-rience farm-life fi rsthand by allowing participation in ag-ricultural experiences such as farmer’s markets, mazes, petting zoos, scenic byways tours, wineries, living his-tory farms, tractor hay rides and u-pick it farms.

For example in our com-munity, we have the New Generation Dairy Farm, where the owner, Brian Rex-ing, was recently named for being the 2011 Outstanding Dairy Producer of the Year by the Indiana Professional Dairy Producers.

The bill gives Hoosier family farmers, who partici-pate in agritourism, limited liability protection. Provid-ers of agritourism will be responsible for posting warning signs and includ-ing warning notices in con-tracts signed by participants

informing them of the risks that come with agritourism activities.

The bill states that an agri-tourism provider is not liable for the injury or death of par-ticipants if the cause is part of risks that inherently come with agritourism activities.

Additionally, House En-rolled Act 1387 was passed which streamlines the refer-endum process for the con-tinuation of the Commodity Market Development Coun-cil and provides additional options for check-off pro-grams.

Agriculture is one of the most important industries in Indiana and needs Hoosier support, which we can do by visiting local farmers’ mar-kets in our community. The recent fl oods have caused our farmers to face many ob-stacles this season and they need our support now more than ever.

The advantages of farm-ers’ markets are vast. They allow us to support our local economy, intake nutrition-ally rich food and help the environment by reducing gas amounts needed for food transport.

I encourage you all to visit a local farmers’ market this summer. There are many to visit in our community, be-low is information for two: The Vanderburgh County Farm Bureau Farmers’ Mar-ket runs every Friday through October 7th from 8:00 am to 2:00pm in downtown Evans-ville.

For more information go to: http://www.evansvil-legage.com/2011-vander-burgh-county-farm-bureau-farmers-market/

The Farmers Market in Mount Vernon kicked off its third year last Tuesday and will run every Tuesday through August. It has a new location this year, which is located on East Fourth street between McDonalds and Dominos Pizza and will be open from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

For more information go to: http://www.ag.purdue.edu/counties/posey/Pages/ernonFarmers%27Market.aspx

Farmers’ markets pro-vide producers and growers yet another tool to market and to sell their agricultural commodities. Their locally grown food is cost afford-able and provides a fresh, tasty and most importantly nutritious food option.

Farming is a way of life in Southern Indiana and I will continue to support this in-dustry when voting on farm legislation in the General Assembly. Our farmers have had defi nite weather setbacks this season, but I feel confi -dent our community will ral-ly together and that we will soon be back on track.

If you are one of the hope-lessly bored people who read last week’s column, you may recall the topic has been air-port and national security. I decided to write about this topic when our daughter was forced to relinquish her Ver-mont Maple Syrup because it contained more than 3.4 ounces. When this was cou-pled with the Transportation Security Administration’s policy to allow knitting nee-dles and pointed scissors to be carried on, I felt the need to exorcise the Security De-mons.

The fi rst time I rode in an airplane was June 1963. I had just joined the United States Air Force which fl ew me on a commercial airliner from California to San An-tonio, Texas. I was nineteen and quite impressed. This Air Force gig looked pretty cushy. Then I was met by my friendly training instructors.

The Air Force called them TI’s as the Air Force

saw itself as above the mere drill instructors of the other branches. However, from

what I could tell, the main training we received was how to eat too fast and get up too early.

But this column is not about my decidedly mun-dane military experience. It is about some government offi cials’ all out panic since September 11, 2001. When I got on that airplane in 1963 I simply walked on. And, to my knowledge, since Orville and Wilbur Wright, we have had only three incidents in which fl ights originating in America were made to crash by criminals.

Now that is over 100 years

and millions of fl ights. Dur-ing that same 100 or so years we have lost hundreds of thousands of our citizens just on our highways. Yet we do not inconvenience ourselves with searches every time we get on an interstate highway. No, we take the reasonable and constitutionally valid approach of allowing free access then, if someone drives drunk or causes harm, we charge them with crimes or hold them civilly respon-sible.

We have inserted ourselves into numerous countries that had nothing to do with the suicidal criminals who brought down the fl ights on September 11, 2001. Those men were virtually all disaf-fected refugees from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq, not Iran, not Palestine, not Afghani-stan, not Libya, not Pakistan and not Syria. Yet we have spent trillions of dollars and thousands of lives devising schemes that have created

enemies from former friends and made us more vulner-able, not safer.

As we thought we had learned from almost twenty years (1956 – 1975) involve-ment in Viet Nam, we cannot afford fi nancially, morally or diplomatically to attempt to impose, by force, our will on other cultures. The ancient Egyptians, Persians, Greeks and Romans as well as the Spanish, French and English in the 17th and 18 centuries and the Japanese, Germans and Soviets during the 20th century all saw their coun-tries decline when they spent their treasure on guns instead of butter.

As long as we continue to live in fear of shampoo, shaving lather and maple syrup in excess of 3.4 ounces while we intervene in some countries using money we have to borrow from other countries, Osama bin Laden may be dead, but he will not have been defeated.

Something exciting has happened in Posey County over the past few weeks. Just Tues-day, we learned that Posey County will have a fourth ambulance after all. And if the meetings I have attended are any indication, it will not be long before it is a reality.

However, changing some-thing that has been in place since the 1970s in Posey County takes some doing. The three ambu-lances have basically located in the same three places since funeral homes stopped providing ambulance service many years ago. And to be perfectly honest, forward-thinking has not been a strength in local peo-ple or local government in the years since I have been associated with Posey County.

A debt of gratitude is owed. Several years

ago, Marrs Township Volunteer Fire Chief Larry Schenk began attending county meet-

ings from time to time and planted the seed that if the St. Philip area continued to grow, better ambulance ser-vice would be needed even worse than it was already.

But it wasn’t until the ambulance that served the northern end of the county

was pulled to cover shifts in St. Philips that other area people stood up and took no-tice. While the majority of Posey County’s residents were unaware (and unconcerned) about what was going on with emergency health service in the county, at least a few northern Posey County residents took notice and stood up for their neighbors.

No one has been more instrumental in get-

ting county government to realize the need for additional ambulance service in Posey County than Cynthiana businessman Chuck Pearson. While he would not be one to take credit, he has spent countless hours and many dollars from his own coffers to help perpetuate a dialogue that has led to the ap-proval of improved ambulance service.

But he certainly was not alone. There are several names that come to mind. Patti Wil-son, owner of Harold’s Restaurant, has also been an outspoken proponent of the mea-sure. Walter Broadhead, a former Poseyville businessman, has also spoken at county meetings in favor of improved ambulance service.

But many people have played a part in this important decision. Although the ambu-lance study probably provided us with little that we didn’t already know, someone had to realize that a study of some kind was a fi rst step in seeing the need for the additional ser-vice and the areas where it was needed.

I commend members of the community who came out in large numbers to hear the results of the study at the Posey County 4-H Fairgrounds back in late March. Many of those folks, with encouragement and trans-portation provided by Chuck Pearson, un-derstood for the fi rst time that several areas in Posey County were looking at an ambu-lance response time in excess of 15 min-utes. Those who attended also learned that biological death comes usually within the fi rst six minutes after a severe heart attack or stroke.

But while accolades are being bantered about, I can’t help but mention a few more names. Posey County Commissioner Jim Alsop has been active in every step of the

ambulance process and has taken extra time to attend not only the commissioners’ meet-ings but also several of the council meetings in an effort to represent the people of Posey County.

I was proud of the way the people of Posey County conducted themselves as the results of the study were presented in March. What could have turned into an emotional name-calling, fi nger-pointing melee actu-ally turned out to be a productive meeting. Even the Posey County Farm Bureau, rep-resented by Cheryl Seib, voiced its support of the measure, even if it meant a small tax increase. As I have heard several times over the past few months, you simply can’t put a price on a life.

This entire process has restored a little of my faith in local government to hear the will of the people and make an effort to make it happen.

For those who chose not to become in-volved in any way, the next time someone in your household, family, or neighborhood needs emergency medical attention, remem-ber that it was those who chose to get in-volved that makes a reasonable response time possible in your time of need.

It is amazing what can happen when ev-eryone works together. The professionalism shown by members of the community and Posey County government is to be com-mended. And sometimes, as I heard some-one say during one of the meetings, you do things like this simply because “it is the right thing to do.”

Thank you to all who had a part in it. Posey County is a better, safer place to live, work, and travel because of the effort you put forth.

Debt of gratitude owed to those who chose to be involved

Several of my friends and I will share the same heartache this fall: our children—for some of us, the last of our children—enter high school then. In four years, we will face an empty nest and will long for the constant chatter and clatter once fi lling our lives.

The preparations for our garage sale this past week-end underscored my daughter Jessica’s ma-turity. Jim and I asked her to decide what items in storage she wanted to put up for sale. For Jessica, it was a no-brainer: she started putting price stickers on all the childish things she’d put away. Nothing was sacred to her.

When we brought Jessica home from Chi-na, my nephew Reg sent her an Asian baby doll made by American Girl. Reg wanted Jessica to hold a doll that looked like her. The doll was named Maggie after one of the Chinese translators who loved Jessica dearly. For years, Maggie went with Jessica everywhere. They even had their picture made together.

“Mom, how much should I put on this doll?” Jessica asked one night last week.

When I looked up from sorting items in

a box of my own belongings, I saw the fa-miliar Asian baby doll grasped by one hand

and dangling like a dirty rag at Jessica’s side.

“That’s Maggie,” I sput-tered.

“I know,” Jessica said matter-of-factly. “Do you think she’s worth fi ve dol-lars?”

“Yes, I think so,” I re-plied, barely managing to keep the edge of hysteria out of my voice.

Jessica placed a $5 sticker on Maggie and dropped her unceremoniously into the box with all the other dolls she will never play with again. In fact, not one doll is left in our house. Old Father Time delivers harsh blows. Jessica is our youngest child, but she’s defi nitely not a baby anymore.

Oh sure, I’m pleased my daughter helps me with housework and laundry. I’m pleased to attend her academic and sporting events and to have adult conversations with her. I’m pleased she will soon relieve me of my chauffeuring duties. I’m proud of the young woman I behold.

Still, if I could be granted one wish, I’d ask to spend time again with the toddling Jessica and her Maggie.

Yard sale prep confi rms Jess’s maturity

A couple of weeks ago I received a phone call from a cousin in Arkansas asking if I could arrange a cousin reunion for our Aunt Gustie’s 97th birthday.

This was to include his fi ve grown sons from the Chicago/Wisconsin area. Sure, why not? Approximately 30 people, more or less, no problem!

After shopping around Mount Vernon and New Harmony, I decided on the American Legion in New Harmony, and this turned out to be the right decision. The out-of-town visitors had nothing but the best to say about the food, service, price, etc. My cousin asked me if we could do this again next year at the same place.

I have not been an active member of this Legion Auxiliary for several years, and I was very much impressed with the effi ciency of the ladies preparing for our get-to-gather. I

arrived early to set up tables, decorate, and I was pleasantly surprised to fi nd tables ar-ranged, cloths, fl oral center pieces, place set-tings, all in place. Very nicely done! Good work, ladies!! The entire area, including the kitchen, was spotless.

Our food buffet was served on time and was absolutely delicious. Raves from all of us. At the end of the meal the ladies col-lected our plates, policing the area in order for us to visit comfortably for the rest of the evening.

I was not aware of the fact the Legion is now serving meals weekday evenings with a special each evening along with a large menu offering. I hope that more persons will dine there and support our Legion more. I am going to try.

By Holly HeerdinkBright-colored hats filled the New Harmo-

ny inn and conference center on thursday, June 16, for the annual Summer Hat Lun-cheon. the university of southern indiana/New Harmony Foundation sponsored this event, and the money raised supports proj-ects for the New Harmony bicentennial in 2014.

Participants competed against one an-

other in table decorating contests. Winners included Nancy Drake in the category “Sum-mer Folly,” Patricia Gosh in “Exotic Inter-lude,” Pat Bateman in “High Society Affair,” Sue Huelsmann in “Understated Elegance,” Mary Beth Williams in “Most Creative,” Sue Nesler and Ann Greenfield in “Best En-semble” and Mary Kennard in “Best of the Best.” In the hat competition, Paula Nurren-

bern won the prize for “Mad Hatter,” and Jan Davies won “Top Hat.”

After a table preview and reception at 11 a.m., the luncheon catered by The Red Ge-ranium began at noon. Guests enjoyed a va-riety of entertainment including a style show from The Antique Showrooms in the Mews and a vignette from “Lost in Yonkers.” “Lost in Yonkers” had its opening night Friday,

June 17, and is being performed in part by USI’s New Harmony Theater at Murphy’s Auditorium.

Lucheon participants could sponsor tables for four or more people. Each ticket cost $35, and $20 from each ticket went directly to His-toric New Harmony’s Bicentennial Project. The captain from each table was responsible for bringing the tablecloth, napkins, center-

piece, dinnerware and table service.

arvin and Judy Barnes sat on the porch of their New Harmony home, rocking back and forth on their swing and chair, respectively. Birds chirp nearby, and the sound of a hammer reverberated from across the street as the couple looked over the flower garden that serves as the centerpiece of

their home and garden.A graduation party for their grandson the day before left

the immaculate garden no worse for the wear, despite the large crowd. Instead, the shrubs and flowers lining the yard were free of debris, a fact that could be attributed to the time the Barnes dedicate to the preservation of their garden.

“We probably had about 120 people here, judging by the number of hamburgers and hotdogs I prepared,” Darvin said with a laugh.

The Barnes enjoy having company, and they said the grad-uation party was not their first time hosting guests. Darvin spent 31 years in the military, and the couple traveled the world and made many friends along the way.

“We run a bed and breakfast, lunch and dinner for all our friends,” Darvin said. “It’s a no-charge thing and we just have a lot of fun with it.”

Judy smiled at her husband’s statement and added, “And the funny thing is, people come back and bring their friends that we don’t even know.”

The Barnes have 32 old-fashioned rose bushes, an arbor and a fountain in their garden. Although inclement weather has put their planting behind by about three weeks, Darvin said the roses bloomed on time and were probably the pretti-est he had ever seen them.

DLove of garden makes Barnes home beautiful...inside and out

New Harmony resident Darvin Barnes works in the flower garden outside his New Harmony home. Barnes works outside for two hours every day, and he said he likes everything about gardening. A member of the military, Barnes has traveled the world and has made friends everywhere he has been. Many of those friends use the couple’s New Harmony home as a get-away when they come to visit.

By Lois Mittino GrayTwo talented local high school boys may be “Lost in Yon-

kers”, but they found their future career paths in Murphy Audi-torium. This was evident watching their faces light up and ex-plode into bright smiles as they received a standing ovation on the opening night of their first professional theater production.

New Harmony Theatre opened its twenty-fourth season Fri-day night with the Pulitzer Prize-winning dramedy “Lost in Yonkers” by Neil Simon. The semi-autobiographical play is the story of two brothers who must go to live with their ty-rant grandmother after their mother’s cancer death while fa-ther travels and works to pay the $9,000 medical bills. All they know of her is a nickname “Frankenstein’s Grandma’ and that dad says she could be the greatest golfer in the world with “the way she swings that cane so fast”.

The two brothers steal the show in the first half when they discuss the family foibles and characters as they anticipate meeting Grandma Kurnitz. Mount Vernon High School soph-omore Mikey Stephens-Emerson is Jay, the 15-year-old pro-tective older sibling who dreams of better days ahead while groveling under grandma’s thumb. His blustery outburst to Uncle Louie proved the young man able to deliver tough lines

ALTON, ILL.

Shooting victim’skin offering reward

The family of a 28-year-old southern Illinois manwho was shot to death fouryears hopes reward moneywill sway a witness to comeforward.

DaRon Hearn was shotto death outside an Altonpublic housing complex onApril 2, 2007.

Police say they’ve identi-fied suspects, but the inves-tigation has stalled becauseno one who witnessed theshooting will cooperatewith authorities.

Hearn’s family has raised$3,000 in rewardmoney, andsomeone donated another$2,500 to the police depart-ment. Alton Police Chief Da-vid Hayes says the depart-ment will match whateverthe family raises.

Hearn’s mother, DebraBradley, tells the (Alton)Telegraph she hopes some-one “will do the right thing,not just for the money.”

“We do have a lot of things that butterflies come to, and that’s been really fun over the years,” Judy said. “everything is covered with butterflies.”

even though Judy appreciates the flower garden, she said the true beauty lies inside her home, which was constructed in 1896. Known as the A.C. Thomas house, the structure fea-tures original woodwork and décor and has an elegant appeal.

Darvin and Judy bought the home five years ago after they visited new harmony for their 45th wedding anniversary. They joined Darvin’s cousin for a meal at the red gera-nium, and they saw the home shortly after.

“his cousin drove us by this house and said, ‘here’s a house you should buy’,” Judy remembered.

The Barnes said it was love at first sight. The five-bedroom home was built as a bed and breakfast and boasts an elevator, old-fash-ioned dolls and graceful furniture. To com-plete the unique atmosphere, a beautiful white cat named Catsanova roams the household.

Although the Barnes adore their new har-mony home, they split time between it and their other home in olympia, wash. They will return to washington in mid July after Darvin speaks at the Atheneum for the annual Fourth of July celebration.

until then, Judy plans to treasure her time in new harmony.

“we just kind of live outside in the summer because it’s so beautiful,” Judy said. “you can look across at the park and swing in the swing and just enjoy this town that is so much fun.”

tough lines as well as come-dic gags, and the audience loved it.

Craig Belwood, a North High School junior, played the irascible scamp 13-year- old brother Arty with fl air and with a lot of attitude he called “moxie”. He jumped on couches, feared his grandma, and showed us all how to get laughs while eat-ing a bowl of soup. The the-ater’s new artistic director Elliott Wasserman brought out the best in both boys, and they were naturals in their roles.

Four of the seven actors in the cast are members of the Actors Equity Associa-tion with considerable pro-fessional experience. Diane Ciesla, as the tough as nails German grandmother fi lls the stage with her huge emotional presence and dis-daining looks.

As her story is told, we re-alize what a survivor she is after enduring hardship and pain all her life and bearing six children. She tells Arty, “It’s not important that you hate me. It is important that you live”.

The second half of the show belongs to Bella, the boy’s 35-year-old aunt who they describe as be-ing “closed for repairs”. She is exhuberant and lov-ing and mildly mentally re-tarded. She may be “always a child”, but she yearns for married life and children of her own. Trying to get this message to her dictato-rial mother who has ruled her life, Claire Warden has touching scenes as she slowly tries to break in to

Grandma’s hard head with her feelings and dreams.

Bella’s brother Uncle Louie, performed by Jona-than Brody, rolls with the punches as a small-time gangster bagman. He be-friends the boys and tries to give them advice on dealing with grandma and her accu-sations of stealing pretzels from the candy shop she owns. He is a wonderful mix of brash bravado and heartfelt concern for Bella and the boys. Dominic Comperatore is Eddie, the boys’ father, who fears his own mother but knows he has to leave them with her to get the family through tough times. His character is mainly seen just at the beginning and the end and exposed thoughout the play by a series of letters.

Laughs abound when the remaining cast mem-ber Polly McKie does

her schtick. As Louie and Bella’s sister Gert, stress caused from Iron Grandma makes her end all her sen-tences in rasping squawks that change her voice en-tirely and it is a hoot. The boys speculate that she can snuff out candles and relight them with one blast of her belabored breath.

The veteran Costume De-signer Shan Jensen brought 1942 costumes to life from Bella’s breezy pinafore dresses to Gert’s cool coat and hat. Sound man Daniel Kopp used vintage tunes like “Goody, Goody” to take us back to the 40’s era. The scenery by Ron Naverson and lighting by Michael P. Frohling created an upstairs home with windows out to the street that glowed at night and created a pleasant effect. Local resident Bar-ton Huffaker commented that he was really impressed

with the set. Ernie Rapp thought the

accents were easy to un-derstand and that the play had “lots of humor”. In past years, some of the ac-cents were too heavy and hard to hear. Ginny Andry recommends the special de-vices available for the hear-ing impaired. “They work great” she explained. “I ‘m glad I found out about them this year”.

Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Satur-day nights and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday af-ternoons. Ticket prices are $22 adult, $20 for 60years and over, $10 for age 25 and under, and there are dis-counts available for groups of twenty people or more.

Lost in Younkers, from page B1

By Steve JoosThe season has gotten off to a strange start for the Brittle-

bank age group swim team.First, the Mount Vernon park pool’s season opener was

pushed back due to the weather and a lack of swimmers on the part of the other teams.

Then this week, the Barracudas swam on Tuesday, but water from the sky washed out their weekend competition.

Brittlebank was to have competed Saturday in the Carmi Invitational meet, but rainy weather forced it to be post-poned until a later date.

The Cudas started the week by fi nishing second at Olney Tuesday night, scoring 293 points to come in well behind the host Tiger Sharks (504). McLeansboro was third with 189.

The youth swim season got off to (what else?) a weath-er-delayed start for the Brittlebank Barracudas Saturday, as they fi nished third in the Wabash Valley Invitational at Mount Carmel.

The Courey sisters had a big day, as Alyssa Courey (nine-year-old girls) and Maiya Courey (10-year-old girls) were among fi ve Cudas who registered high point performances. The others included Todd Ghrest (11-12 boys), Hannah Cross (13-14 girls) and D.A. Wilson (open boys).

The Cudas were to have opened the season with a trian-gular against Carmi and Fairfi eld in Illinois, but the meet was called off in part due to the recent rough weather which hit the area.

Fairfi eld’s pool just opened on the day before the meet was scheduled to take place, Brittlebank manager Ruth Ful-wider explained. In addition, Carmi’s team was just being organized.

By Steve JoosThe weather is still not fully cooperat-

ing as the two North Posey teams continue to duke it out with the South Gibson Babe Ruth baseball league about to enter the last week of its regular season.

Rain washed out Saturday’s games and left North Posey Red and North Posey Black still tied for the top spot in the league.

Regular season play is set to wrap up lat-er this week, with tournament action set to get underway Sunday at Haubstadt.

Black started the week by winning a make-up game and then ran into a wall against visiting Owensville, losing 16-3 in six innings under the 10-run rule.

“The guys that you bring, Micahel Bend-er’s out with an injury and when a 15-year-old’s hurt, you bring a 14-year-old, plug him in and they boys I’ve put in are actually playing,” coach Damien Word said. “The problem is, there’s a few 15-year-olds who aren’t stepping up right now. We’re playing for fi rst, we have a two-game lead and to-night, we come in and we played like we should not even be contending. We looked horrible tonight.”

Name the facet of the game and Black had trouble with it, Voegel added, adding that the team may have been tired after playing three games in fi ve nights, but that schedule will be the norm for the next few weeks as the league makes up its previous-ly rained-out contests and the post-season tournament.

Owensville struck for fi ve runs in the top of the sixth inning after digging Black into a hole over the fi rst three frames by scoring three runs an inning.

The loss followed an 11-6 win over Haubstadt Legion at Gibson Southern.

James Marshall had three hits and three runs scored, while Christian Jones had two hits. Griffi n Wiethrop singled, while Zach Carl started Black on its nine-run third in-ning by smacking a bases-clearing double to the gap.

Jerad Hostettler, Austin Graves and Her-man Wright each singled, while Jones also smacked a bases-clearing double in the third and picked up the win on the mound.

Red dropped an 11-10 decision to VFW at Fort Branch in an earlier make-up game, after they let an 8-0 lead get away.

“We gave them a bunch of unearned runs,” Voegel said. “We had seven errors and walked three or four people. Dylan Wright ran out of innings and then we ran

out of 15-year-old innings.”Beau Cox took over from there, but some

defensive lapses behind him led to more un-earned runs.

Red also ran out of steam offensively after scoring eight runs in the fi rst two in-nings, Voegel added.

Red then got a no-hitter from Grant Scheller as they blanked Oakland City 19-0 in the second game of the week.

Wright backed up Scheller’s pitching with two hits, while Connor Voegel, Reed Gertesen and Ryan Gish each had one, as did Michael Sims and Cox. Scheller helped his own cause with a pair of blows, while Zach Stoneberger had three blows.

That set up a Wednesday rematch with VFW and a statement game by Red, along with an 8-0 victory.

“I think we gave (the earlier game with VFW) away,” Voegel said. “We made sev-en errors and nine of their runs were un-earned.”

Wright tossed a one-hitter with eight strikeouts while going the distance, allow-ing just fi ve basernners.

He also reached base twice and scored two runs, while Gertesen got on base three times and scored twice. Gish had four hits, while Gertesen and Motz each had one. Scheller had two hits and sparked the team’s fi ve-run fourth inning uprising with a drag bunt that scored two runs.

Red got some good pitching and good defense as they survived a make-up game with Princeton Red 8-5 Thursday.

“We played really good defense,” Voegel said. “We only had one error, which is a lot better than what we have been have been doing and we got some really good pitching to night.”

Baseruning miscues kept Red from add-ing even more runs, as did a lack of hit-ting with runners in scoring position, but red took advantage of some wildness and scored three runs on wild pitches in the bot-tom of the fourth.

Motz and Wright each had a hit, while Gertesen had two. Gish and Stoneberger each had three blows.

St. Wendel was 3-2 in the preceding week and had been playing much better, accord-ing to coaches Danny Embrey and Gene Wildeman.

Then along came this week and they ran into trouble, dropping two of three,

An error on Damon Cardin’s grounder to short capped a four-run seventh inning

comeback and put St. Wendel past visit-ing Princeton White 5-3 in a Friday night make-up game at the athletic fi eld.

Earlier in the week, St. Wendel had lost a 14-11 shootout at Owensville and then dropped a 9-3 decision to visiting Haub-stadt Merchants.

Blake Wildeman had two hits, as did Derek Lindauer, with one of Lindauer’s blows a double. Andrew Cumbee had two hits as well for St. Wendel, while Lindauer drove in a pair of runs. Cumbee threw a good game to pick up the win.

“We didn’t come to play (earlier in the week),” Wildeman said. “On Wednesday night, Merchants threw their best pitcher at us. This was a good team we beat (Fri-day). They beat Red and Black earlier in the week.”

Embrey was especially pleased with the team’s improved hitting and defense, while Wildeman said St. Wendel has turned a page since losing to North Posey Black in early June.

“We’re a completely different team since we played Black,” Wildeman said.

By Steve JoosThe Poseyville Two U-14 instructional softball team

wrapped up a successful regular season last week and their coach hopes they’re ready to start “A” tournament play this week.

“We played a good game,” coach Steve Bullington said. “They were doing an excellent job, and if we continue to do like we’ve been doing, we should be in pretty good shape.”

The U-14 squad fi nished up Thursday with a 17-7 rout of St. Joe at home, closing out their season with an 11-1 record. They started the week with a 16-3 win over New Harmony and then came back to outslug New Harmony 10-8 on Wednesday.

The team consists of Rhiannon Bailey, Aubrey Cummings, Jacie Bullington, Miranda Johnson, Madison Feldrake, Kaci Hoenhert, Hope Craft, Sydney Feldrake, Jessica Morrical, Paige Johnson and Stephanie Michaels. Bullington’s assis-tants included Kenny Bailey, Ron Craft, Jason Cummings, Scott Feldrake, Bobby Johnson and Rick Rausch.

“We’ve been hitting the ball well, pitching good and as long as they keep doing that we should be fi ne,” Bullington said. “We’ve been in the ‘A’ tournament last year. I’m just real proud of the girls. This is the seventh year we’ve had these girls, and every other year, we’ll have 11 instead of 14. These girls have been together seven years, and every other year, we’ve won either the league or the tournament.

In three or four years, we’ve won both.”In fact, Poseyville Two has a very strong pedigree in the

Rural Girls’ League. In addition to being the defending 12-year-old “A” tourney champs, they took the “A” title in their second year of U-10 play, won the “B” tourney as a fi rst-year U-12 squad, and took a lower division title in its fi rst year of U-10 play.

Poseyville Two starts tourney play Thursday night at a site to be determined. The tourney fi eld includes Mc-Cutchanville, Owensville and two other teams which were to be determined.

In other games, the U-14 competitive team One fell to the Mater Dei Feeder team from St. Wendel 8-0, while the U-12 team dropped a recent 16-3 decision at the hands of Westside.

By Pam RobinsonIn partnering with the

Metropolitan School District of Mount Vernon, the City of Mount Vernon has been awarded a Community Fo-cus Fund grant from the In-diana Offi ce of Community and Rural Affairs, or OCRA, in the amount of $524,287 to complete the storm water improvement project in the Venice Avenue and West El-ementary School area.

Mayor John Tucker spoke

during a phone interview on Friday afternoon, June 10, about notifi cation of the grant award that came the previous Friday morning, June 3. Tucker said Mount Vernon is one of 22 Indi-ana communities to receive the Community Focus Fund grant.

“It took us three tries to do it,” he commented, “but we never gave up.”

He noted that the Metro-politan School District of

Mount Vernon had provided $13,000 for the project’s preliminary engineering re-port.

“This has been a team ef-fort,” Tucker emphasized, “and it shows that persever-ance pays off.”

The Community Fo-cus Fund grant allows for a much-needed project. Tucker pointed out that the city’s normal annual budget for storm water improve-ment is only $57,000. The

city will contribute $48,000 matching funds to complete the Venice-West Elementary storm water improvement project.

City offi cials will travel to Indianapolis on Wednesday, July 13, to receive the grant. The projected timetable for the project is as follows: ad-vertise bids in July, release bids in August, release of funds and begin construction in September and complete the project in April 2012.

By Steve JoosOn Wednesday night, the Mount Vernon Junior American

Legion baseball team survived another slugfest with North Posey’s summer league squad.

Another slugfest?Well, the two teams did score a lot of runs.Mount Vernon spotted North Posey fi ve runs in the top of

the fi rst inning and the started chipping away. They kept chipping until the Owen Dunn post team pulled

out a 9-8 victory in a game where both teams made the most of their hits (eighth for each crew) and got by with more than a little help.

“A lot of unearned runs,” Mount Vernon coach Dan Mc-Namara said. “I don’t think either team hit the ball too well. North Posey had eight hits, we had eight hits. A lot of runs for not too many hits.”

Despite the loss, North Posey coach Kevin Smith was pleased with the way they performed.

“I liked the way we put the ball into play,” Smith said. “Pitching-wise, we were a little wild at times, but I liked the way we battled back. These kids, the two nights I’ve been around them, just have a great attitude.”

The new Vikings’ varsity coach, Smith joined the team Tuesday night at Heritage Hills and even though he was con-cerned with the team’s defense, he was pleased with the ef-fort, adding that the team is trying to work some players into different spots.

“I like the way they compete,” he said. “They’re really pa-tient at the plate, they know the strike zone very well, and I was pleased with that.

Smith felt that Mount Vernon was able to get some runs back after North Posey took the 5-0 lead, but added that pitcher Tyler Stolz was able to settle down after the fi rst in-ning. He did think that the team has to learn to fi nish things off with a big lead.

An error in the fi rst inning cost Mount Vernon, giving North Posey some extra outs and helped the visitors build their early lead, but starting pitcher J.T. Silvers settled down after that and held the opposition in check until Trevor Veeck came in and shut down North Posey over the last four innings.

“They got four hits off (Silvers),” McNamara said. “He pitched pretty well for not pitching that much for a few weeks. They got two hits in four innings off (Veeck) and he did pretty good for someone who hasn’t pitched in a couple of weeks. Trevor’s arm was irritating him, so it was good to see him come back and pitch. I’m glad to see him back.”

Bryce Newman collected a pair of hits, including a double. Drake McNamara doubled, while River VanZant also con-tributed a pair of blows and Veeck had one.

Two errors, a sacrifi ce and an infi eld single on what the coach called “a swinging bunt” by Ross Canada brought in the winning runs with two out in the bottom of the sixth.

Jevin Redman reached on an error to open the sixth. An-other error and a walk loaded the bases ahead of Canada’s tapper up the third-base line which North Posey was unable to come up with.

Mount Vernon started chipping away almost immediately after North Posey struck for fi ve in the fi rst, as Post Five scored a run in the bottom of that inning, then striking for three in the second and another three in the third after North Posey had taken a 7-4 lead. Those last tallies knotted things up at 7-7. North Posey scored in the top of the fi fth to go up 8-7 before Mount Vernon came back.

“We’re two evenly matched teams,” McNamara said of North Posey. “It just depends on which team shows up, as to who wins.”

It was busy fi rst two weeks for the Junior Legion team, but a pair of good ones, as they have opened the season with a 7-1 record.

Mount Vernon capped its fi rst week of action by sweeping Heritage Hills 6-1 and 3-2.

Newman shut out Heritage Hills through six innings in the opener, fanning six. VanZant singled, Redman reached on an error, and then Veeck and Craig Beeson each added RBI singles as Mount Vernon got all the runs they needed in the top of the fi rst inning.

Canada settled down after a rough fi rst inning and went the distance to pick up the win in the nightcap, mowing down Heritage Hills until the seventh, when he had to work out of a bases-loaded jam with a fl y ball to center fi eld.

The Junior Legion trailed 2-1 in the top of the seventh when Collin Varner beat out an infi eld single, Newman was hit by a pitch and then Canada and VanZant each singled in a run.

Mount Vernon played error-free ball in both games, while collecting enough timely hits for the sweep.

The Owen Dunn Post Five Junior squad saw a 7-lead get away and then rallied to beat North Posey’s Summer League team 9-8 in eight innings at the Vikings’ baseball fi eld.

McNamara was a bit concerned about playing doublehead-

ers on back-to-back nights in the middle of the week, but it didn’t seem to faze his team.

“It wasn’t very pretty,” McNamara said. “I don’t think ei-ther team would be very proud of their defense.”

VanZant held off North Posey over the last two innings after Craig Issac was roughed up in the sixth inning, when North Posey scored fi ve runs and took the lead and Mount Vernon rallied with two out in the top of the seventh to tie the game and then pushed across the game-winner in the eighth, both times taking advantage of a porous North Posey defense.

Ryan Goeltz was in and out of trouble in his fi rst start of the season, but he was able to keep North Posey in check over three inning stint, but not before the summer league team scored two runs in the bottom of the fi rst inning to forge a 2-2 tie.

That deadlock didn’t last long, as Mount Vernon took a 3-2 lead in the top of the second and then broke loose for three in the top of the fourth, with Beeson’s two-run homer the big blow.

But North Posey rallied in the fi rth and sixth innings, knocking a run off the defi cit in the bottom of the fi fth and then erupting for fi ve runs and the apparent lead in the sixth. Coach Tom Carl would only cite a strong hitting attack for getting North Posey back in the game.

“We did a good job of coming back late in the game,” Carl said. “We struggled early hitting the ball, but we came out in the later innings and started stinging the ball.”

Dylan Wright drove in the game-tying run for North Posey in its big sixth inning.

They were one out away from a win, but Bryce Newman singled, took second on a passed ball and scored when a bad throw got past the North Posey fi rst baseman and he collided with McNamara.

In the eighth, Isaac reached on an error to open the frame and came around on Trevor Vieck’s triple.

The season got off to a belated start for Mount Vernon Wednesday with a doubleheader against Junior Pate at Wash-ington Middle School in Evansville.

It may have been a delayed start, but it was a good one, as Post Five took both ends of the twin bill 6-0 and 7-5.

Newman and Silvers combined on a one-hitter in the fi rst

game, with six strikeouts.VanZant doubled in two runs, while Redman and Veeck

each drove in runs. Beeson drove in two RBIs.“Good pitching and solid defense in the fi rst game.” Mc-

Namara said. “Game two, we played good defense again and got good pitching. Anytime you play a solid game against those Evansville school and come out with a win, you’re for-tunate.”

The Post Five Junior team was a year younger last season, so that experience helped this time, McNamara added.

Canada started the game and got help out of the bullpen from Varner and Vieck. McNamara had two hits, while Van-Zant, Issac and Redman each drove in runs.

On Thursday, Post Five traveled to Newburgh and split that doubleheader, winning the nightcap 3-2 after falling in the opener 7-2.

Hank Dausman pitched well, but a rough third inning proved to be Mount Vernon’s downfall.

VanZant tripled and Aaron Roberts doubled in two runs, but it wasn’t enough as Owen Dunn couldn’t get anything going against the Newburgh pitcher. McNamara and New-man each had hits.

Roberts walked and Redman, Issac and Seth Reeves each collected RBI singles in the fourth inning to plate Mount Ver-non’s runs. VanZant and McNamara each singled to back up the complete-game pitching of McNamara, who fanned six.

McNamara had two hits, while VanZant added one.“Drake gave up three or four hits and worked out of a few

jams,” the coach said. “The defense helped him out.”The Junior Legion team will be in action over the Fourth

of July weekend, with a round robin tournament set for July 2 at Mount Vernon, while the games with Funkhouser Junior which were to have opened the season have been reset for Saturday, July 16, at the Barker Avenue Complex in Evans-ville.

The Junior Legion will open their round robin against Heritage Hills and fi nish against South Spencer, with the two Spencer County teams squaring off in the middle game.

Tuesday’s scheduled game with Boonville was cancelled due to a scheduling confl ict on the part of the Warrick County post. A Father’s Day doubleheader with Heritage Hills at Mount Vernon was also called off due to a lack of players.

By Steve JoosBaseball has been part of Kevin Smith’s

life since the 1960s.“Baseball’s been in my blood,” the re-

cently appointed coach of the North Posey Vikings said. “I’ve already lost some (hair) on top over it.”

Smith is very excited to be at North Posey, where he will replace Scott Reid, after last year’s coach resigned to become principal at Gibson Southern. Smith will become the fi fth varsity baseball coach in as many years at North Posey. The Class of 2011 had a new baseball coach in each of their four seasons at North Posey High School.

Smith wants to be a resource for the team and wants to help them develop as ballplay-ers. He’s excited to be a part of the North Posey program and its reputation through-out the Pocket Athletic Conference and in the tough Southeastern Indiana Class 2A Sectional.

“I’ve heard a lot of good things about the program,” he said. “I had an opportunity to meet the team, and they are an outstanding

group of young men. I’m looking forward to working with them.”

For now, Smith is just watching as as-sistants Steve Kanvanugh, Wyatt Newman and Derek Wiggins work with the summer league team. There are some things he’d like to see, however.

“What I’d like to do is continue to see the kids have fun and work on some of their me-chanics, both offensively and defensively,” Smith said. “And then work that knowl-edge from the games this summer into next spring. If they win some games, great, we’re here to want to win, but we’re here to see the kids work up some strengths and have them ready for next spring.”

Smith brings a varied background to both the classroom and the coaches’ box.

He spent 24 years in business and indus-try, including nearly 15 in executive man-agement. He’s in his second year teaching after going through a transition to teaching program.

He’s been a varsity assistant on Loogoo-tee’s 2010 Class 1A Regional champs and

also served as an assistant and head coach at Springs Valley in French Lick for two dif-ferent stints.

The new coach wants the Vikings to step on the fi eld with an attitude that they can win. He also wants to help them hone their baseball skills.

“I’m a proponent of doing things in a positive fashion and these kids have done some things in a positive fashion,” he said. “We want to take that positive aspect and expand on it.”

North Posey was 16-8 on the diamond this spring under Assistant Principal and base-ball coach Reid, going 5-3 in the PAC. They dropped their Tell City Sectional opener to No. 1-ranked Forest Park by an 11-9 count.

A native of French Lick, Smith graduated from Springs Valley in 1977.

The coach and his wife, Debbie, just celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary prior to his hiring as baseball coach. They have two sons, Adam, a CEO with a chemi-cal company in Houston, Texas, and Derek, a tax accountant in Indianapolis who played

baseball at Franklin College.“Both of those boys played baseball,” he

said. “Baseball’s been the life blood of our family when it comes to sports. We’re just enjoying this opportunity.”

North Posey is 2-2 on the season after beating Princeton in its season opener on the road and Heritage Hills 19-0 Tuesday night at Lincoln City.

The team’s patience at the plate was a big plus at Heritage Hills, Smith said.

“They made the pitchers come in to them,” the coach said. “They worked the Heritage Hills pitchers to where they got to their pitches to hit.”

North Posey also played well offensively and defensively at Heritage Hills, the coach added.

The team was to have played in a tour-nament at Evansville over the weekend, but had to withdraw due to a lack of players.

North Posey was to have played Evans-ville Funkhouser’s Junior Legion team in its season opener, but that game was called off due to a lack of players.

Each year the Mount Vernon River Days Festival has as its purpose to bring attention to the special privilege residents, neighbors and friends share in enjoying and being witness to the wonders of living on the banks of the Ohio River.

Of course, there are all kinds of “wonders” that this op-portunity affords; and this year, with the river’s third highest crest, 51.8 feet, folks were reminded of the awesome power of the Ohio.

With memories of the 2011 Flood fresh on minds of area

residents, the 75th anniversary of the “Big Flood” in 1937, when the crest reached 59.2 feet, will be commemorated at this year’s Mount Vernon River Days event set for September 9, 10 and 11.

In 1937, the river inundated a lot of mid-America, including Mount Vernon. The water lapped at the steps of the Eagles’ building on Water Street and surrounded the water treatment plant. Up and down the Ohio, from Johnstown to New Or-leans, the “Beautiful Ohio” showed its power and might.

Becky Higgins, Vice Chair of the River Days Committee, is collecting 1937 Flood photographs and other memorabilia to be featured in an exhibit that will take place at the 2011 festival.

Anyone who has pictures or collectible items from the 1937 fl ood that they are willing to share in his exhibit is asked to contact Higgins at 812-204-7388 or see her at Printcrafters, 304 W. Fourth Street in Mount Vernon.

Larry Williams is Chairman of this year’s River Days, with Kay Kilgore as Chairman of Events and Entertainment and Nancy Hoehn in charge of Food Booths.

New Harmony native and resident Maggie Rapp can’t remember a time when she wasn’t doing art.

“My mom always said I could draw before I could walk, and the proof was on the walls,” recalls Rapp, the director of the Hoosier Salon in New Harmony since July 2005.

Rapp combines her love and appreciation for art with her mathematics savvy to bring a full palette of skills to the Hoosier Salon. A watercolor and oil artist, Rapp paints still life and landscapes and is also well-known for her pen and ink and watercolor renderings of New Harmony’s historical buildings. She is a Signature Member of the Watercolor Society of Indiana and is closely connected with artists across the state. Organizing and scheduling events and keeping the books come naturally for her, too, since she taught mathematics and science for 21 years at North Posey High School.

Several annual Hoosier Salon events contribute to the ambience in New Harmony: the “First Brush of Spring” Plein Air Paint Out, the Children’s Doll Tea Party, the children’s art programs in the summer, and the Artful Liv-ing Tour and Auction fundraiser in the fall. Rapp enjoys the children’s art programs as much as anything, for they give her the opportunity to share her love and apprecia-tion for art with the young. (In two weeks, she and Bob

Pote will teach a watercolor class to those aged 9-13.)

She asks everyone in the commu-

nity to save the date for this year’s Artful Living Tour and Auction on Sunday, October 16. Tickets will be on sale the end of July and start at $50 per person.

Guests will tour two New Harmony homes—the country mansion of Bill and Muriel Gillenwater and the estate of D. and Judy Barnes. A reception will follow at the Granary with both a silent and live auction of paintings from as many as 20 Indiana artists. All proceeds benefit the Hoosier Salon and its mission to create an appreciation of art by promoting Indiana artists and their art.

In addition to the Hoosier Salon and her painting, Rapp stays busy as a mem-ber of the New Harmony Garden Club, as the president of the associate chapter of Tri-Kappa and as a member of the finance board for Holy Angels Catholic Church, her hometown parish.

She and Ernie, her husband of 44 years, enjoy traveling and camping together. They are the parents of three children: Dr. Kyle Rapp of Mount Vernon, Ryan Rapp of New Harmony and Stacey Gam-blin of Evansville. They feel blessed that

their children and seven grandchildren (five boys and two girls) live nearby and enjoy their time with all of them.

The New Harmony Town Council took action on Thursday night to prepare the grant application to the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs for the South Street storm water project.

Council approved Larry Stillwell to conduct the archaeological survey at the Labyrinth at a cost of $2,190. In addition, council approved payment of $2,350 to Paul Breeze for the South Road survey, contingent upon recording of the survey and submission of a final legal descrip-tion.

A public hearing will be held regard-ing the South Street storm water project on Friday, July 1, at 10 a.m. The proposal for the grant application is due Friday, July 22.

After the meeting, Councilman Joe Straw spoke also about the construction of the new fire and emergency medical services station in New Harmony. He stated that on Wednesday, June 22, at 10 p.m., the final papers will be signed with the contractors. Danco Construction is expected to begin work after the Fourth of July holiday with completion by the end of the year.

In related action at Thursday night’s meeting, council approved ordinance 2011-8, amending ordinance 2011-1, that makes the addition of annexing 1.008 acres of the state right of way at the old fairgrounds property, the site of the new fire and emergency medical services sta-tion.

In other business:• Council approved the waste collec-

tion specifications for bids on the town’s trash collection, running from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2014. The lowest bidder will receive the town’s contract for services. Sealed bids must be submitted to Town Hall no later than 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 31, 2011.

• Council passed resolution 2011-3 au-thorizing the 2011 town election to be conducted by the Town of New Harmony rather than the Posey County Election Board.

• It was the consensus of council mem-bers to send a certified letter regarding the demolition of the Simmons property at 916 Brewery Street.

• Council approved the festival applica-tion for Becky Gray and Rosie Benton to hold a farmer’s market for the sale of pro-duce and homemade items.

• It was the consensus of council that Fred Martin do ductwork in Town Hall to resolve climate control issues.

• Don Julian, Pharmacy Director at St. Mary’s Hospital in Evansville, presented council with a proposal for provision of primary healthcare services to New Har-mony. Julian recommends regular quarter-ly healthcare screenings, provided through corporate sponsorship, for New Harmony residents.

• Clerk-Treasurer Karla Atkins an-nounced that $3,400 had been collected for Maple Hill Cemetery as a result of the mailer asking for donations.

• New Harmony resident Carlene Van-Laningham announced that Tri-Kappa along with community members had col-lected $2,311.03 in ten days for the upkeep of the Maple Hill Cemetery. In addition, she thanked council for the loan of the shelter house for the Hoosier Salon Art Camp and suggested staining and coating the picnic tables (which her group covered with plas-tic) to keep them looking good. Moreover, she recommended that council invest in a speaker system so everyone could hear town proceedings and that bugs be re-moved from the outside of Town Hall. She also noted that several large branches were still left around town. Councilman Don Gibbs responded that Town Hall is washed down twice a year and that the chipper has been down and thus has slowed progress with clearing large branches.

• It was reported that Ryan Farrar had resigned from his duties with the waste-water and water departments, with his last day on June 3. It was then announced that Jeremy Farrar will now head the wastewa-

ter department and that Bobby Grider will take on water department duties.

• It was reported that mosquito spraying will occur soon as well as blacktopping to

take care of potholes.• It was reported that the Murphy Park

basketball court will receive blacktop in a week. Residents were also thanked for

keeping sticks picked up in the park.The New Harmony Town Council will

meet again Thursday, July 14, 2011, at 7 p.m. in Town Hall.
