“Our liberties we prize, and our rights we will maintain.”

(USPS 439-500)$1.00

By Valerie WerkmeisterThe Town of Poseyville recently

recovered some of the funds that were allegedly stolen by former clerk-treasurer Chris Lupfer.

It has been almost a year since a discrepancy was found in the Town of Poseyville’s account books dur-ing a routine audit. Lupfer resigned last December following an investi-gation that eventually led to her ar-rest earlier this year. Town Council President

Bruce Baker informed the coun-cil during a meeting last Wednes-day, November 9, that $45,000 in funds had been received from the bond company Lupfer was insured through. Baker also stated that the town hopes to receive an additional $8,700 from another insurance com-pany soon. The funds were returned to each of the budget accounts they were stolen from. Lupfer’s next scheduled court appearance is No-vember 22.

Baker and council members Steve Ahrens and Ron Fallowfield discussed concerns about the rails being taken up and the discarded railroad ties along the old railroad. The rails were not removed at each railroad crossing and the signs re-main. Baker noted that although the rails do not exist on either side of the crossing, school buses will still be required to stop while the signs are present. He stated he has con-tacted the Indiana Department of Transportation regarding the matter. The town is also hoping to obtain the rights-of-way along the former railroad. He indicated that Super-intendent Dr. Todd Camp may also need to be involved in voicing con-cern regarding the crossings. Baker stated he had also contacted Camp in regards to the matter.

Roger Rutledge of Wabash Valley Service Company presented an op-tion for the town to purchase gas in a pool. Rutledge explained that gas rates might be cheaper if purchased under this option, but it all depend-ed on how the markets performed. He advised there was a 500-gallon minimum purchase requirement.

Council members agreed to try Rutledge’s recommendation and will purchase 50-percent of what they currently use, which Rutledge estimated to be appoximately 1,800 gallons.

In other business:•Julie Mayo of the utility office

reported that a gas report would be mailed in an envelope along with the December billing to help save additional postage.

•The fire department reported that the new rescue truck chassis is currently being built. It should be delivered in December to Far-rar, the company that is building the new truck. The new truck costs total $264,337. A $150,000 Community

By Dave PearceThe lines of communication

between law enforcement and the citizens of Posey County have paid off again, according to Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers.

Roger A. Greathouse, Jr., was arrested in Illinois on Tuesday on outstanding warrants from the Posey County Sheriff’s Depart-ment as well as federal charges. Greathouse remains lodged in the Posey County Jail on a $50,000 cash bond. Clowers said that a federal charge would keep Great-house detained even if he were able to come up with the $50,000 cash bond. The Posey County charges stem from an arrest warrant served on October 20 at Greathouse’s resi-dent on Old Beech Road near New

Harmony.Currently, Greathouse faces

charges of Possession of a Firearm by a Serious Violent Felon and a federal grand jury will be looking at charges relating to weapons, as well.

According to Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2011, at approximately 3 p.m., law enforcement officers armed with a search warrant con-verged on the rural Posey County residence. The search warrant was issued through information ob-tained by an officer of the Posey

County Sheriff’s Department. The informant was working through federal agents as well as the Posey

County Sheriff’s Department depu-ties.

“This whole case is a prime ex-ample of local law enforcement, specifically the Posey County Sher-iff’s Department working with fed-eral agents, the Alcohol and Tobac-co and Firearms agents,” Clowers said. “They acted on information obtained from the informant. This was just very proactive.”

Clowers went on to say the of-ficers who worked the case deserve the credit for the arrest.

“It is a pleasure working with officers who will go the extra mile and because of that, we now have charges pending in state court,” Clowers said. “There is also a fed-eral warrant that was served on Mr. Greathouse while he was in jail. A

federal grand jury will be held next week to see if there will be a federal indictment on him.”

Clowers said that the proactive approach being taken by his of-fice and Posey County officers in general “puts us a little out of our comfort zone sometimes but we continue to work together to do that. The officers are willing to do this, as well.”

Back on October 20, two indi-viduals were encountered as of-ficers entered the residence under the authority of the warrant. Arnold D. Wyatt and Kathy G. Wyatt were found in the residence which is the property of Greathouse. When officers approached Kathy Wy-att, they found she was holding a one-month-old infant. The woman

was apparently babysitting Great-house’s young child.

“She admitted to snorting meth that morning as well as when she was booked in, she had meth in a syringe in her possession,” Clow-ers said.

Oeth reported that the search of the residence yielded precur-sor chemicals such as anhydrous ammonia, sulfuric acid and other instruments used in the manufac-turing process of Methamphet-amine. Several firearms including assault rifles and handguns were also seized as officers conducted their investigation. Oeth stated that both Arnold Wyatt and Kathy Wy-att were arrested at the site. Both

Young Posey men attain Eagle Scout rank

By Rhys MathewOn Sunday, Nov. 20, Tristan

Mathew was awarded Boy Scout’s highest rank, the rank of Eagle Scout, at a ceremony at the St. Phillip’s Conservation Club. This award is the result of years of hard work and achievements.

“I joined scouting as a Tiger Cub when I was seven years old,” Mathew explained. Tiger Cubs starts boys out with small re-quirements to earn activity beads while working toward advancing in rank. While in Cub Scouts, Mathew earned belt loops for spe-cific activities, such as swimming and archery.

“One of my favorite activities as a Cub Scout was the Pinewood Derby,” Mathew said with a smile. “ It was always a family ef-fort to build a fast car with a cool design.”

After working through Bobcat, Wolf and Bear ranks, boys enter Webelos to prepare them for Boy Scouts.

“Webelos means ‘We’ll be loy-al scouts’ and gave us more of the Boy Scout experience,” Mathew explained. “ Boy Scouts allows the boys to take over the major-ity of the workload as opposed to Cub Scouts, where the parents do a lot of the work.”

As a Webelo, Mathew also earned the Arrow of Light award, which recognizes boys who are prepared to cross over into a Boy Scout Troop.

Mathew then crossed over into Boy Scout Troop 390. Scouts ad-vance through the ranks of Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class, Frist Class, Star and Life before begin-ning their Eagle Scout project.

“One of my favorite parts of scouting was the spelunking trip we took with Venture Crew,” he said.

During his time in Troop 390, Mathew was also nominated by scouts and leaders for the Order of the Arrow, a society that rec-ognizes scouts who embody the characteristics encouraged by Boy Scouts of America.

Seibert builds new benches for Posey fairgroundsBy Rhys Mathew

On Sunday, Nov. 20, Kurt Seib-ert was awarded Boy Scout’s high-est rank, the rank of Eagle Scout, at an Eagle Scout Ceremony held at St. Phillips Conservation Club along with his friend, Tristan Mathew..

Seibert joined scouting as a first year Webelo in Cub Scout Pack 396 out of St. Phillips while at-tending St. Phillips School.

“I really enjoyed the trips we took because they sparked my interest in continuing scouting,” Seibert said. Seibert mentioned a caving trip as one of his favor-ite outings. “Webelos was a great experience because it gave us a taste of what we would be able to do in Boy Scouts. It takes a lot more dedication to stick with Boy Scouts because of the added re-quirements,” he explained.

Seibert crossed over into Boy Scout Troop 397, and worked

through the ranks of Scout, Ten-derfoot, Second Class, First Class, Star and Life. Seibert then moved to Troop 390 where many of his friends were scouts. Seibert was also voted into the Order of Arrow, a society for scouts who embody the characteristics encouraged by Boy Scouts of America.

Seibert began planning his Ea-gle Scout project early in his soph-omore year of high school because of a rule made by his grandfather Glen Parker; “We weren’t allowed to get our drivers’ license until we had completed our Eagle Scout project,” explained Seibert.

Seibert planned the construc-tion of four picnic tables for the Posey County Fairgrounds for his project, and specifically chose the fairgrounds because his brother Anthony built bleachers for the Keck-Gonnerman pulling track for his Eagle Scout project. It was a unique opportunity for the brothers

to be able to contribute to a facility that is enjoyed by many commu-nity members.

“I stayed after school to use a program called Inventor to design the picnic tables, which took most of a semester,” he explained.

After planning the details, Seib-ert presented his project to an ap-proval board made up of scouting leaders, parents and other commu-nity members who were not from his own troop.

After his project was approved, Seibert was able to start gather-ing materials and set a date for his project.

“The Fair Board and Keck-Gon-nerman Antique Machinery Asso-ciation donated the funds for the picnic tables, and Lowes offered a discount on the materials because of the nature of the project,” he said.

By Dave PearceThe motto of the Mount Vernon

School Corporation is “Learning Takes Place Here.” But on January 2, something just as important, if not moreso, will take place in the Hedges Central School building in Mount Vernon. The Food Pantry will join the ranks as tenants in the building.

“The new year will bring lots of new changes for the pantry,” said director Erin Hollinger. “First, as of Janury 2, the pantry will officially open it’s doors at its new location, in the Hedges Central building. In addition to the new location, the

pantry is expanding its hours to better serve its growing number of clients. In 2011 the pantry has aver-aged nearly 600 individuals served a month, compared to only half that number only three years ago.

The pantry has been located at First Presbyterian Church for quite a few years now. While the church has embraced the pantry being in its basement, it is evident the growth of the pantry has far exceeded its actual physical space. The move is bittersweet for the church. It has enjoyed being able to offer space to the food pantry as it serves an important mission within the com-

munity. While they realize that in order to reach our even further in serving clients, a move to a larger location is necessary, they will miss the weekly hustle and bustle going on downstairs.

With the move comes even more exciting changes as the distribution format will also change. Currently pantry workers give every house-hold coming in for assistance a “standard” box of food with a few extras. This is a system that came into being for food pantries in the 80s, and most pantries have gone away from this format. It can waste food, as you are giving clients food

their family may not even eat. In-stead, the pantry will now go to a shopping format where clients will come in and shop for what they need and will eat. There will be limitations but essentially they will get what is needed.

“This will reduce waste in that they will take only what they will actually use. We can offer more food choices this way, and keep things stocked that are picked the most,” Hollinger said. “This allows clients to maintain their dignity as they are getting what they need,

By Dave PearceThere will be a new shingle hanging on Mount Vernon’s

Main Street this week. Mount Vernon attorneys Trent Van Haaften and Adam Farrar have decided to open their own law practice in the 200 block of Main Street. The two attorneys, Van Haaften a Mount Vernon High School graduate and Far-rar, a graduate of North Posey, hope to blend their talents and put themselves into a position to help their friends in Posey County.

“One of the things I have always wanted to be was a small town lawyer in a position to help folks in the commu-nity, whatever their problem may be” said Van Haaften, who served as Posey County’s Prosecutor before moving on to the State House as State Representative. “I have been fortunate in the past to do that, to a certain degree, as a prosecutor and then as an elected official.”

But Van Haaften said he and Farrar complement each other extremely well in their areas of expertise and it just seemed like the right time and the right fit for the two to step out.

“We have practiced in the same firm now for seven years and throughout that time, we both emphasized the need to give back to the community,” Van Haaften said of himself

and his partner. “Now that we are starting our own firm, we want to continue helping the people of Posey County with their legal needs. We mesh well together. I have gained most of my experience in the courtroom while Adam has concen-trated more in the areas of real estate, oil and gas, and busi-ness assistance. Our two personalities as well as our areas of expertise should go together very well.”

Both attorneys will leave another firm that has an office in Mount Vernon when they open the doors to their new practice on December 1. Both attorneys are making a concerted ef-fort to advance in technology and take advantage of paperless technology available, allowing costs to be cut and overhead to be reduced.

“Bamberger (Foreman, Oswald, and Hahn) has been a great place to work and is full of good people,” Van Haaften said of the duo’s present employer. “But it is one thing to be among the group and is another to try to make your own mark. It is something I have been thinking about that over the past few months and here with the new year about to begin, it just seemed like the right time.”

By the Rev. James L. SnyderTwenty-four hours ago, I

was seated with my family and friends around the Thanksgiv-ing table. Now, I am seated in my chair and cannot move. I won’t say I ate too much yes-terday. I did, I just won’t say it.

Why is it on Thanksgiving we give ourselves permission to gorge ourselves to the point of semi-consciousness? The difference between conscious-ness and semi-consciousness is that with semi-conscious-ness you feel like you have been run over by a semi-truck.

Of course, a great thing about Thanksgiving is the fab-ulous dinner spread, surround-ed by family and friends. It is truly a time to give thanks to God for the manifold bless-ings he has showered on us throughout the year. Although there have been a few drought times during the past year, God’s showers of blessing al-ways came at the right time.

Thanksgiving Day is for the diet-challenged person. Noth-ing is more challenging to me than my diet. And of this in particular I am most grate-ful for Thanksgiving. It is the one day of the year I can toss caution to the wind (which is the only exercise I get on Thanksgiving) and forget my diet carefully supervised by the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage.

It is not that I take advan-tage of the situation … OK, so I do take advantage of the situation. However, that is the glorious aspect of holidays like Thanksgiving. The per-son, me in particular, can get away with things that the rest of the year would be impossi-ble. And I’m not just thinking of that second piece of pump-kin pie.

The second great thing about Thanksgiving is the day after. The business commu-nity refers to this day as Black Friday. They mean, of course, it is a day when they turn their

ledger from red to black.Whoever invented the

shopping frenzy associated with the day after Thanksgiv-ing should be congratulated and offered the Nobel Peace Prize. Black Friday in our home is when my wife and our daughters leave the house early in the morning to spend the entire day shopping and I get the opportunity to black out for the entire day. If I may say so, it is a glorious day of loafi ng.

The feast like we usually have on Thanksgiving Day requires at least one full day of concentrating and allowing the meal to digest, no matter how long it takes. The older I get the longer it takes my di-gestive system to complete its work. My philosophy is, don’t rush the process.

I’m all for cooperation. I believe this world would get along much better if every-body would just cooperate. I set the example by cooperat-ing with my digestive system for the entire day.

I have found the best way to assist my digestive system is to spend the day loafi ng. And I have managed to bring loafi ng to a fi nely developed art. It has taken years for me to get to this point of exper-

tise. Throughout the years, I have developed the fi nesse associated with total loafi ng that should be recorded some-where.

My expertise in this area is most remarkable for the simple fact that I only get to practice this one day out of the year. I can assure you that one day is intensely devoted to the strenuous activity of loafi ng.

If you promise not to let this get back to you know who, I do get in an odd day every now and again to practice for this day. Nobody can reach the pinnacle of success I have on this matter without some kind of practice throughout the year. I am completely devoted to my art, as any other artist would be.

In case someone gets the wrong idea about all of this, let me assure you that loafi ng has certain health benefi ts. Of course, if I am caught practic-ing my loafi ng when my wife has instructed me to do some things around the house, it has an adverse effect on my health. The key here is to practice loafi ng when your wife is out of the house shop-ping the entire day, which is why Black Friday was in-vented.

It is a proven fact that most

of the people in our country today are overworked and to-tally stressed out by their lives. In spite of all the technology available to us, we are a nation that has forgotten how to rest.

Years ago in our country, when we were more Christian than we are today, we set aside Sunday as the day of rest. That has completely gone by the wayside as we became a cul-ture of 24/7 activity. The only solution all our experts have come up with is to pop a pill and keep on going.

A friend of mine has a mar-velous saying, “Either come apart and rest a while, or you will simply come apart.” I like that.

Jesus said something simi-lar. “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and low-ly in heart: and ye shall fi nd rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 KJV.)

We have learned how to feast and our buffet table is loaded with goodies. Perhaps it would be a good time to take some time to rest and let our soul settle and digest the rich blessings of God.

COME O HOLY SPIRIT by Lowell Tison

INGREDIENTS• 1 boneless turkey breast (about 2 lbs)• Butter, olive oil, OR bacon fat• Salt• 1/4 ounce dried porcini mushrooms• 1 thick slice of bacon• 1/4 cup minced shallot• 2 Tbsp chopped dried cranberries• 1 teaspoon minced sage• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs• 1 tablespoons chopped parsley• 3 Tbsp turkey or chicken stock (can sub water)• 1 turkey wing (optional)• 1 tablespoon fl our• 1 cup turkey or chicken stock• Salt and pepper• Poultry seasoning

DIRECTIONS1. Place dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl. Cover with

hot water and let sit for 15 minutes or so while the bacon in the next step is cooking. Once rehydrated, then chop.

2. Slowly cook the bacon in a medium frying pan on medi-um heat until crispy. Remove the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate. Once cool enough to touch, chop. You should have at least a tablespoon of fat in the pan. (If not, add butter or olive oil to make up the difference.) Heat the same pan on medium (do not drain the fat rendered out of the bacon), add the minced shallots and cook until the shallots begin to brown. Add the chopped dried cranber-ries, minced sage and chopped mushrooms. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the breadcrumbs, the parsley, and the turkey or chicken stock and stir well. You want a rough paste, something that will stick to itself. Remove from the heat and allow the stuffi ng to cool.

3. To make the stuffed turkey breast, remove the skin from the turkey in one piece and reserve. Put the turkey breast between two pieces of wax paper or plastic wrap and gently pound with a mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick. (It may be easier to butterfl y the breast fi rst, depending on how big the breast is.)

4. Trim the pounded breast until it is roughly a rectangle. Spread a thin layer of the stuffi ng over the breast, leaving about 3/4 inch border around all sides. Tightly roll the breast lengthwise. Lay the skin over the top of the rolled breast and tuck any under the edges.

5. Tie the rolled turkey breast tightly with kitchen string and set it on a roasting pan. Paint it with olive oil, or smear butter or bacon fat over it and sprinkle with salt. If you want more drippings for gravy, place pieces of a turkey wing on the roasting pan as well.

6. Roast at 400° for 20 minutes, then drop the heat to 325° and roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until the inter-nal temperature of the breast reads about 155° on a meat thermometer.

7. Once the turkey reaches that temperature remove it from the roasting pan and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest at least 10 minutes, and up to 25 minutes.

8. While the turkey breast is resting, if you want, you may be able to make a little gravy with the drippings. If you are only cooking the breast, and not the optional turkey wing as well, you may not have much to work with. But even a little bit of drippings can fl avor a gravy. (If you really don’t have much fat to work with, you can melt two tablespoons of butter into the roasting pan.) Take the roasting pan with drippings and place over two burners on the stove-top on medium (if using turkey wing, re-move fi rst). Sprinkle with fl our and stir until the fl our is incorporated into the drippings. Slowly add stock, whisking constantly, until smooth. Season with salt, pep-per, and poultry seasoning or ground sage or thyme. Let simmer on the stove until thickened to your preference.

Yield: Serves 3-4.

Community President, Mark Isaac Welcomes Everyone to

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving, and took time to refl ect on all the things in life there are to be thankful for. I enjoyed a day of cooking, feasting, spend-ing time with loved ones, and working on winterizing the garden. What a glorious time of year, full of the changes the seasons can bring, gratitude for a bountiful harvest, and

hope for the coming year.Christmas in New Harmo-

ny is coming next weekend, and the Working Men’s Insti-tute will be participating, with a craft activity for children, beginning Saturday at 10:30, which involves decorating their own fl ower pot. Partici-pating children will be able to take their fi nished creation home with them.

person for the church. “We try and go beyond a simple nativity to remind folks that when God became fl esh, hardly anyone noticed or cared.

Christmas is about Je-sus Christ.”

New Harmony Holiday Ball slated for Dec. 10

By Valerie WerkmeisterWhile many are gearing up for the up-

coming holiday season, the Posey County Commissioners are looking past the holi-days and into the upcoming new year. Much of last week’s meeting, held on No-vember 15, was devoted to bid openings for supplies or services the county may use. All of the bids were taken under ad-visement and will not be awarded until the December 20, meeting.

Commissioners reviewed and discussed a request by Richard Porter to vacate an alley near 7265 Main Street in Wadesville. Porter explained the alley splits parcels of property he owns. A recent fi re destroyed his home prompting him to re-evaluate the layout of his property. No other property owner adjoins his property and would be affected by the request to vacate the alley.

To Porter’s dismay, the process wasn’t as simple as he had hoped. Attorney Adam Farrar explained that he fi rst needed to fi le a petition with the commissioners. Typi-cally, a letter is sent to other property own-ers adjoining the property which is fol-lowed by a public hearing. If there are no objections and the commissioners approve the request, an ordinance is passed and the alley is legally vacated. Farrar recom-mended that Porter hire an attorney to fi le the proper legal paperwork on his behalf.

Steve Schenk of the Posey County High-way Department presented a $100 contract by JH Rudolph to the commissioners for use of their lot on Ford Road to store sup-plies. The contract is approved on an annu-al basis and saves the highway department

fuel and time by not having to travel all the way back to Mount Vernon for supplies.

Schenk also reported that a total of $2.2 million was spent on 65 and one-half miles of road improvements this year.

A new E-911 dispatch director was cho-sen. Commissioner Scott Moye stated that following the completion of the interview process, Sabrina Harms was chosen for the position.

Commissioner Jim Alsop advised that county residents can sign up to receive emergency messages under the Code Red system by visiting www.poseycountygov.org.

EMS Director Chuck Thompson in-formed the commissioners that new em-ployees hired in July to cover the new ambulance service are now eligible for paid time off. He advised that although he would try to ensure adequate coverage, he anticipated there may be some times that it might not be possible. Moye cautioned Thompson to ensure coverage is available at all times and offered to meet with him to help facilitate a schedule.

Moye advised that animal control of-fi cer, Chuck Mobley, had submitted his vacation schedule for the remainder of the year. A part-time person will cover Mob-ley’s days off on an as-needed and priority basis. He asked that residents be aware of possible increased response times to inci-dents.

The next regular Posey County Com-missioner meeting will be held on Tues-day, December 6, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House in Mount Vernon.

From all of us here at Historic New Harmony, we hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.

The New Harmony Business Associates introduces their buy local campaign and postcard. We want to remind Posey County and New Harmony residents to shop local to boost our local economy. Often we forget what we have close to home. When is the last time you shopped locally in New Harmony? Bringing awareness is the fi rst step of the cam-paign. We ask that you make a commitment to visit New Harmony businesses at least once a week to fi nd out what you have been missing. We think you will be surprised at what you fi nd. This holiday season, consider doing good by buying locally from small businesses, a valuable way to invest in our local economy. When you shop with local merchants you are supporting friends and neighbors and preserving your choice of unique and special merchandise, often unavailable elsewhere. Money spent in in local busi-nesses stays in our local economy and strengthens a sense of community. Sixty eight cents of every dollar spent at small local merchants stays in the community, unlike when you shop at national chains.

New Harmony offers a wide and unique range of gift items and goods at competitive prices, Clothing and accessories, Drugs, sundriesand fi ne toiletries, Gourmet food items, cheese, and local beer, Convenience store groceries and gasoline, Tea and coffee, fresh baked bread, wine and spir-its, Taverns, family restaurants and fi ne dining, Cinema and theater, Antiques, from fi ne furniture to household items and decorative collectibles, Gifts from local artisans and around the world, Greeting cards, wrapping paper, school supplies, Wedding gifts, housewares and kitchenware, Chocolates and fl owers, Musical instruments; new and used books

With righteous indignation Moses threw the stone tablets down that contained God’s com-mandments for His people. The tablets shat-tered as Moses rebuked the Israelites for turn-ing to worshiping a golden calf made by their own hands. How could they do such a thing? I can relate to the anger of Moses in seeing Is-rael’s apostasy. Those called of God must by the authority of Scripture rebuke His people for such disobedience. Judgment fell on those who had turned from the Lord as some 3000 Israelites were put to death.

It is what Moses did the next day that is a challenge to grasp. Pointing out their great sin, Moses relates to the people that he is going to the Lord and intercede on their behalf. His pe-tition unto the Lord goes to the heart of being a shepherd of the Lord’s people. How could Mo-ses ask the Lord to remove his name from the book of life if He does not forgive the people?

Could not the Lord rise up another people for Moses to lead? Why should he number himself with such a rebellious people?

Here is another unfolding picture of the coming Messiah. Moses was being a type of Christ. (Hebrews 3:1-6) He (Jesus) “was num-bered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors” (Isaiah 53:12 NASB). “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteous-ness of God in Him”

(II Corinthians 5:21 NASB). Wonder of wonders that God’s only Son would bear the penalty for all our sins because He so loves us.

Now consider this amazing story played out in all the undershephards the Lord places over His church. At times an overseer of His people fi nds himself caught between righteous indig-nation because of a congregations self centered disobedience and yet loving them to the extent of being a willing sacrifi ce on their behalf. But

he realizes that these are God’s people, not his, and he is accountable as to guarding, guiding, and feeding them.

The following gives insight on why Moses put himself with the Israelites.

Moses saw them as his people. He did not claim them as “my people” just because he was their senior pastor. Even when liv-ing with the royal Egyptian family, he had compassion for his enslaved Hebrew people. (Exodus 2:11-14) Such compassion is seen in the Apostle Paul as he was deeply burden for his kinsmen in the fl esh, so much so that he could wish himself separated from Christ for their sake. (Romans 9:1-5) Those whom God has entrusted as spiritual shepherds over His people are to love them as Christ loves them. That is a costly love that never fails.

Beyond that, Moses never got away from that “burning bush” call. At times serving this people was almost unbearable, but he knew on whom to depend. These were the Lord’s

people and Moses cast all his care on Him. Bearing the burden of His people is doable be-cause of that call. The Lord upholds all those He calls to care for His people.

Foremost Moses knew the Lord as the I Am. As sovereign Lord, He always accomplishes what He wills. Moses would never see the ac-complishment of his work during his life span. He bore the burden of the people throughout his ministry. The calling is to be faithful where He places us realizing the greatest outcome will be beyond us.

It was the Lord who determined that Mo-ses would be relieved from his work through death. This is not implying that you have to die to get out of where you are. There may be those days of feeling like Elijah in wishing the Lord would just take you home. (I Kings 19:4) It’s letting the Lord determine the place of our ministry. Just remember that in serving His church, you are caring for the treasure of His heart.

Thinking on the Christ of Christmas, a man said, “Je-sus is the only Somebody you can’t match!” How true!

Consider His pre-exis-tence. Jesus didn’t begin when He was born. Before He became Jesus of Naza-reth, He was the Son of God. He always was and will be the God-Man.

Consider His pre-choice. He’s the only one who chose His mother and His name before he was born. He

chose the Virgin Mary, and was born without a human father; and He chose the name Jesus.

Consider the puzzle. One question determines the destiny of our souls. Pilate asked it, “What shall I do with Jesus who is called the Christ?”

His own rejected Him. The soldiers ejected Him. Some have neglected Him. But I have accepted Him. What will you do with Him?

Many scouts and parents came out to help complete the project, and Seibert was able to wrap his project up in June of 2010.

“I would really like to thank everyone who came out to help with my project and made it a success,” Seibert said grate-fully.

Seibert’s Eagle Scout Ceremony was held jointly with his friend Tristan Mathew’s ceremony. Many scouts from Troop 390 were able to participate in the ceremony, as well as Seib-ert’s brother Anthony, who also earned his Eagle Scout rank.

“It meant a lot to have Anthony participate in my ceremo-ny,” Seibert explained. “He has been a role model for me, and after he earned Eagle Scout, it really encouraged me to earn mine as well.”

Seibert presented pins to his mother and father, Pat and Su-san Seibert.

“My mom really helped me by enforcing the drivers license rule and motivating me to get my project done, and my dad always encouraged us to stay active in scouting,” he said.

Seibert awarded a mentor pin to his grandfather Glen Park-er.

“Grandpa really pushed us to earn our Eagle Scout, and he’s always looking out for our future,” said Seibert.

Few scouts make it to the rank of Eagle Scout, but those that do form a strong network that provides instant camaraderie.

“Scouting is a great opportunity and develops character and leadership skills. I know that the skills I acquired and the net-work I developed in scouting will help me throughout the rest of my life,” Seibert concluded

can begin planning their Eagle Scout Project. The project re-quires extensive preparation and several rounds of approval by a board made up of scouting leaders, parents and other community members who are not from the scout’s own troop. Eagle Scout projects must benefi t the public, not any private party, and are constructed to test the scout’s leadership skills. Mathew organized a project that consisted of constructing a sign for the Stewartsville Cemetery and doing some main-tenance work on the property. To prepare for the approval board, Mathew put together a binder full of details of the project, safety precautions, and photos of the area.

“My uncle Tom Helfrich of Helfrich Machine donated the steel and constructed the sign,” Mathew said.

Mike Tenbarge, who has been involved with Troop 390 in many different roles during Mathew’s years in scouting, plas-ma cut the sign to say “Stewartsville Cemetery.” John Orth donated powder coating to protect the sign from weathering, and Odis Meredith volunteered his time to apply the powder coating.

On the day of the project, many scouts and parents showed up to help. Mathew assigned tasks to each volunteer and made sure the project went smoothly. While some scouts set the new sign in concrete, others uncovered the existing side-walk and cleaned up the perimeter of the cemetery.

“I would like to thank everyone who had a part in my proj-

ect from beginning to end,” Mathew emphasized. “Without all the help I received, my project would not have turned out as well as it did.”

After Mathew’s project was fi nished, he had to return to the approval board a fi nal time before he could actually receive his Eagle Scout Award. Many scouts participated in Mathew’s Eagle Scout Ceremony, which was held jointly with his friend Kurt Seibert’s ceremony. Many of the boys from Troop 390, as well as some friends from other troops and a cousin, were able to participate in the ceremony. “Many of us have been in scouting together for years, so it meant a lot to have so many of them there,” said Mathew.

Mathew was able to present the mother and father pins to his parents, Ross and Lisa Mathew.

“My parents have been a great infl uence on me throughout my scouting career,” he said soberly. “They have both been very supportive and have helped me reach this milestone.”

Mathew also presented mentor pins to Tom Helfrich, Sha-ron Krohn, Mike Tenbarge and Jeff Taylor for their support and guidance throughout the years.

“I would strongly encourage anyone considering scout-ing to visit your local Cub Scout Pack or Boy Scout Troop. Scouting has been a great experience for me and provides you with a lifelong network of friends and mentors,” Mathew concluded.

and choosing on their own. We aren’t assuming what we think they want and making them take it.”

This will be a big change for clients and volunteers alike but Hollinger believes after the adjustment phase, the new format should be a very positive change.

In order to make the transition the pantry will serve out of the church location in December as it prepares and trains for the new location. It will open there January 2nd. The new hours will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 9 until noon, and Friday again from 3 until 6 p.m.

The pantry has many needs to make this transition hap-pen. It will need sturdy (industrial type) shelving, tables, shopping carts, grocery bags (paper or plastic, new or used), boxes (approx. printer paper size), one or two chest freez-ers, wooden pallets and rolling carts for unloading food. An-other important thing needed is monetary/food donations. In order to get things stocked and ready for the expanded grocery format, the pantry will need to stock up more than ever. Food donations are always appreciated and smaller donations can be taken to the current location. Larger do-nations can be brought to the new location, which can be arranged by calling 838-3841 or emailing mvfoodpantry@yahoo.com. We also have drop off locations at First Bank and at the Posey County Coop business offi ce. Monetary donations can be made by sending them to PO Box 228 in Mount Vernon, 42420. Donations may also be brought to the current location during business hours. You may specify in the memo section if you prefer the money be used for food only, for administrative costs (new building items, lease, phone etc), or leave blank if you want it used where needed most. You can also make a donation online by visit-ing www.mvfoodpantry.org.

“We are very excited about the move along with the other changes that will be made in the next year. It will allow the pantry to dig deeper and really reach out to serve those I our community with a food need,” Hollinger explained. “We have moved from serving a handful of clients a week, to serving dozens each day we are open, feeding children over the summer, and helping hand out Thanksgiving bas-kets donated by WSI each year. We hope to further involve our mission and pinpoint other ways we can help make sure everyone in our county has food to eat each day.”Mount Vernon Junior High will contribute

In conjunction with the move, from now through Decem-ber 14, Mount Vernon Junior High School students are on a mission.

Their goal is to fi ll a school bus, not with students but with food for the local food pantry at a time when donations are reaching the critical level.

The annual Food Pantry collection is being sponsored by the Mount Vernon Junior High Student Council and the Builder’s Club. The unique collection begins Wednesday and will conclude on December 15. Why is it unique? Sim-ply put … the food pantry drive this year is the “fi ll the bus” campaign for our students and the local community. Each seat and fl oor space will be designated a specifi c type of food pantry item where boxes will be placed and fi lled to the maximum.

The bus will be on display in front of the building throughout the next two weeks. The public is invited to help fi ll the bus. Students will bring their contributions to their home bases, and the items will be collected by the Student Council members and then placed on the bus. The commu-nity-at-large may drop off food pantry items in the Mount

Vernon Junior High School offi ce.Among the needs of the Food Pantry are canned fruit,

pork and beans, tuna, cereal, variety of canned vegetables, soups, crackers, hamburger helper, macaroni & cheese, spa-ghetti sauce (preferably canned), pasta, canned spaghettis (ravioli), peanut butter, jelly, baking mixes, jello and pud-ding, fl our, sugar, and toiletries such as soap and shampoo.

An in-depth list of suggested needs are Peanut Butter, Canned Meat (Tuna, chicken, fi sh), canned soups, canned beef stew, canned chili, rice, pasta (Spaghetti, Noodles), breakfast cereals, oatmeal, canned vegetables, V-8 Juice, canned tomato products, spaghetti sauce, canned beans and peas, dried beans and peas, canned fruit, applesauce, boxed mixes such as Macaroni & Cheese or Hamburger and tuna Helper, canned evaporated milk, powdered milk, instant breakfast drinks, jams and jellies, crackers, graham crack-ers, pancake mix, bread/ muffi n mixes, canned and boxed puddings, paper towels, bath tissue, bath soap, shampoo, dish detergent, and laundry detergent.

Also, the Builder’s Club is coordinating the Salvation Army/14 WFIE’s Toy Town collection. Students may bring in new toys (should be in the original container) and deposit them in the three large collection boxes in the main foyer. New toys and age-related items are collected for children 1-16 years old for the holiday season. Items are especially needed for older youngsters.

On November 11, 2011 the new Interna-tional Club at Mount Vernon Senior High School had their second offi cial meeting. The International Club was created to pro-mote Internationalism among students and to encourage students to learn about, ac-cept, and even embrace other cultures. The students meet after school periodically to hear from guest speakers from other coun-tries. The guest speakers share history, cul-ture, and even food from their country. On November 11, 2011, the International Club Members hosted Ecuador Night. The Ecua-dorian guests shared information about the Ecuador’s climate, geography, economy, and culture. They shared “arroz con pollo” and “tres leches” cake and taught the stu-

dents how to salsa. Some of the students who currently take Spanish courses at Mount Vernon High School practiced speaking to their guests in Spanish. When asked what she thought about Ecuador night, student Ally Blunt said “It was awesome. I loved learning about the country and meeting the family. The food was good too.” Brittany Adams said “I learned a lot and meeting people from Ecuador was awesome. They were so cool. Defi nitely couldn’t ask for a better end to my week.” The students had a wonderful time and made new friends while learning about the Ecuadorian culture. The next meeting will be in December when the students will learn about Germany.

Mount Vernon International club met Nov. 11

On November 1 and 2, students in the Spanish classes at Mount Vernon High School learned about the traditions of el día de los muertos. Students in Sra. Hu-ber’s classes learned about the traditional foods and customs in Mexico, Guatemala, and Ecuador. The students were able to try fi ambre, colada morada, and pan de muertos. They also colored their own tra-ditional kites and made beautiful fl owers

of tissue paper. Students in Sra. Basham’s classes took an in depth look at the tradi-tions and customs of el día de los muertos in Mexico. They tried the traditional pan de muertos (bread of the dead), mole with chicken, and a mexican fruit drink. They also colored their own calavera masks. This was a great opportunity for the stu-dents to learn about one of the holidays celebrated in Spanish speaking countries.

By Valerie WerkmeisterIt was routine business

during last week’s MSD of North Posey School Board meeting. Board members approved a number of re-quests that came before the board for their approval. Su-perintendent Dr. Todd Camp requested the board’s per-mission to purchase a new controller for South Terrace Elementary School (STES). The controller runs the caf-eteria, gym and library. The board approved the $4,397 purchase of a new DX 9100 JCI controller to be paid out of the capital projects fund.

The board also approved a $450 disaster recovery program agreement with Komputrol. Camp explained it is the same agreement that they have approved in the past.

Camp informed the board that he had received noti-fi cation from the state that summer school program costs will be reimbursed 100 percent. Camp noted that it has been a long time since the state had fully re-

imbursed the school for summer school. He sur-mised that few schools held summer courses thus, less schools were competing for the funds making the reim-bursement possible.

In other business, the board approved:

•A request by Shannon Schickel to take 33 high school student council mem-bers on an overnight trip to the state student council convention in Indianapolis.

•A request by Girl Scout Troop 346 and Cub Scout Pack 390 to use the STES gym for upcoming meetings.

•A request by North El-ementary School teacher, Julie Butler, to conduct a dance team clinic on January 21, 2012 and a cheer team clinic on February 18, 2012. The clinics will be conduct-ed at the high school from 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. The students will also perform at the junior varsity and varsity games each evening.

•A request by Janet Stew-art to step down as head cook at STES. She will re-

main as a cook. Kathy Veeck will now assume the role as head cook.

•A request by Mr. Kava-naugh to hire Kelvin Ker-chief as a seventh grade boys’ basketball coach.

•A request by Jonathan Spencer to hire Kurt Weath-erholt and Brad Miller as volunteer assistant wrestling coaches for the high school wrestling team.

•A FMLA request by Ma-ria and Matt Gantner for the birth of their child around March 20 – May 8, 2012. Matt will only use days as needed while Maria will be off full time.

•A FMLA request by Dale Farrar from October 17 – November 28 for a serious health condition.

•A professional leave re-quest by Rick LeGrange, Madonna Muensterman and Pam Spahn for bus driver education training.

The next regular meeting will be held Monday, De-cember 12, at 6:30 p.m. in the school corporation of-fi ce.

Keith Spurgeon, campaign chairman, announced that the United Way of Posey County campaign drive has raised 89% of the $640,000 goal. He urged all the people of Posey County to get involved. “The United Way campaign still has a long way to go and we need everyone’s help to have a successful campaign. Contributions help to make sure that important services are available for the people of our com-munity, both to improve the quality of our lives and to help in times of need.”

United Way of Posey County agencies receiving funds in 2011 are: Albion Fellows Bacon Center, American Red Cross Posey County Chapter, Boy Scouts of America Buf-falo Trace Council, Catholic Charities, Children’s Learning Center, Christian Church Day Care Center, Community Emergency Assistance, ECHO Community Health Care, Family Matters, Homeless Shelter of Mt. Vernon, Indiana Legal Services, Lampion Center, New Harmony Ministry Association, Posey County Council on Aging, Posey Coun-ty Rehabilitation Services, Rehabilitation Center, Salvation Army, Visiting Nurse Association of Southwestern Indiana,

WNIN Radio Reading Program, and Willow Tree of Posey County. In addition, contributions help to fund United Way programs such as the local Gifts In Kind program, Infor-mation and Referral Assistance, 2-1-1, the easy-to-recall telephone number for access to information about resources and assistance in Posey County, and the prescription drug discount program.

Jon Neufelder, president of the United Way of Posey County, said “Through the efforts of local volunteers who participate in the volunteer review process to determine what services an agency provides for the people of Posey County and how the funds are being used, contributors can make sure that their generosity to the United Way of Posey County is a good investment in what matters in our community. If you would like to help with this, just let us know. It is the work of these volunteers that allows us to say to everyone that if you want to make a difference in your community this is a great way to do it because your contribution is not wasted, stays here to help people in our community, and is effectively used.”

This year the volunteers working to make this happen are: Paul Allison, Donald Baier, Kenyon Bailey, Pat Beck-gerd, Grant Beloat, Steve Bennett, Bob Boerner, Frank Chapman, Linda Crawford, Joe Crissup, Daryl Dassel, Dana Dieterle, Beth Dingman, Judy Games, Wayne Games, Andrea Gentry, Bill Gillenwater, Jack Higgins, Michelle Hudson, Phyllis Johnson, Connie Marvel, Niall McCon-ville, Michael Peck, Clayton Powers, Carrie Robb, Lind-say Schmitt, Keith Spurgeon, Fran Thoele, Tom Verkamp, Larry Williams, and Aaron Wilson.

Spurgeon announced that special events to support the United Way campaign in Posey County continue through the generosity of local businesses. On November 30, Pizza Hut in Mount Vernon will donate 20% of sales for that day if a customer provides a coupon, a copy of an ad or newspa-per article, voucher or fl yer about United Way, or mentions United Way.

Also, the Posey Grill in Mount Vernon will donate 10% of sales on December 2 and December 9 and be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both these days and Fridays from now on. Also, Santa is coming to the Posey Grill on Saturday, December 10, from 7 to 11 a.m. There will be free pictures with Santa and Santa pancakes for only $1 during Santa’s visit and United Way donations will be accepted. Spurgeon said “Support this great fundraiser and help the United Way campaign in our community while having a good time with the kids and grandkids.”

You can contact the United Way of Posey County at 838-3637 or uwposey@sbcglobal.net for more information or to get involved. Contributions can be sent to P.O. Box 562, Mount Vernon, Indiana 47620.

United Way volunteers at work in Posey County

Van Haaften emphasized that this will be an opportu-nity for him and Farrar to be able to help people who have helped them throughout their lives. But Van Haaften is no stranger to being in the public eye. And while Far-rar does much of his work behind the scenes, the pair seem perfectly willing to work on building a small business together.

“I think having your name on the door is every bit as much in the public eye as an elected offi cial,” Van Haaf-ten said. “We are making a commitment to Mount Ver-non and to Posey County in terms of where we have de-cided to locate. I think this is the same type of commit-ment shown in the past in the political arena.”

The offi ce will be located on the fi rst fl oor of the build-ing at 201 Main Street in Mount Vernon and the at-torneys are thrilled about the location, near the river and near the new, big plans for Mount Vernon.

“We are very excited about the location because I can look out the window and see the river. And with the plans for retail and residential building downtown, you can feel we are at a tipping point in turning the downtown around,” Vanhaaften said. “The riverfront has changed so quickly and greatly so it is just exciting to be there and hopefully be there as the big changes occur.”

“We’re looking back to the opportunity to give back, more than anything,” Van-Haaften stressed. “We are looking forward to being a part of the Posey County community from a business

standpoint. We feel very blessed and fortunate to have this opportunity.”

Van Haaften is the son of David and Dolores Van Haaften and is married to Beverly (Corn) Van Haaften, all of Mount Vernon.

Farrar is the son of Ron and Theresa Farrar of Cyn-thiana.

After graduating from the Indiana University School of Law in Bloomington, Farrar aspired to return to Posey County to establish his prac-tice.

“While both Trent and I have spent the bulk of our careers working in Posey County, the fact is we are leaving positions with the largest law fi rm in this re-gion, so there will defi nitely be a period of adjustment,” Farrar recognizes. “We will be facing new challenges in the coming years, but we’re excited to tackle them to-gether. Ultimately, we think the new fi rm will not only help us achieve our profes-sional goals, but it will also help us better serve our cli-ents.”

Farrar is proud of his involvement in the Posey County Community. He cur-rently serves on the Board of Directors of the Posey Coun-ty Economic Development Partnership, the Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana, and 21st Century Leadership of Posey County. He also serves as Poultry Superintendant at the Posey County 4-H Fair.

Adam lives just outside New Harmony, where he keeps a small fl ock of poul-try and enjoys life in rural Posey County.

When Washington, DC spins into a frenzy over de-fense cuts, even good pro-grams can be ditched in a panic. Sadly, at times like this joint programs and supposed “extras” like new missiles are particularly vulnerable.

That’s the case with the Joint Air-to-Ground Missile program, known as JAGM. JAGM does not have a zippy name or a big marketing cam-paign behind it. Basically, it’s a replacement for three fa-mous but aging missile types: the Hellfi re, the Air-Launched TOW and the Maverick. De-spite incremental improve-ments over the years, there’s no getting around the fact that all three of those missiles are 1960s-era designs at the end of their service lives. Enter JAGM, a nearly $1 billion dollar initiative to develop a single missile that all branch-es of the military can share.

Because it’s a joint pro-gram it has to make it through triple the budget reviews to survive. Fear is spreading that the Navy or Army will pull out, try to stick the other ser-vice with the whole bill, and end up collapsing the JAGM program like a house of cards.

That would be a mistake, because JAGM comes with important new capabilities that the warfi ghter has long been asking for. And it does so at lesser cost to the tax-payer than the legacy missiles it replaces. JAGM beats Hell-fi re on the battlefi eld because

it can be used night or day, in all types of weather. Add in smoke or bad weather and government studies show that four JAGMs can neutralize as many targets as seven Hell-fi res under those conditions. Here’s the good part for the men and women carrying out these missions. The JAGM’s maximum range is greater than Hellfi re’s.

At 28 kilometers for fi ght-ers and 16 kilometers for he-licopters, JAGM can launch from safely outside point area defenses. And the JAGM is lethal against a static or mov-ing target, from advanced armor to small boats and troops in the open. Currently, a Raytheon-Boeing team and Lockheed Martin are devel-oping competing missiles for the JAGM program. This competitive prototyping is a new way of acquiring weap-ons has yielded solid results. To date, the Raytheon-Boeing missile has gone 3-for-3 in government fl ight tests, and Lockheed has also had a suc-cessful test. Tests like these dramatically lower program risk and keep both contractors fi ghting hard to deliver best performance and best price. JAGM in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps inventory saves money by cutting back on maintenance, replacement and inventory costs. Because JAGMs are more effective than Hellfi res the taxpayer over time will pay for fewer of them to be produced. So

what’s the problem? It’s the risk of a panic default to just upgrading Hellfi re. New mo-tors and seekers for that ven-erable missile still won’t de-liver the better performance of JAGM. Worse, scrapping JAGM and investing in up-grades wouldn’t save money in the long-term. In the end, we’d still be using multiple Hellfi res to do the job of a single JAGM. The U.S. Mili-tary has already invested $912 million developing the JAGM -- including $372 million spent by the Army and Navy before the Joint Common Missile program was initially

canceled in 2005 for going over budget. But the program was soon resurrected. Why? Because the need for the mis-sile did not go away. What makes us think that the out-come this time will be any dif-ferent? For nearly $1 billion, the military deserves to end up with a fi elded product. And if this program is killed, what next? Do we want to send the message that important R&D programs can be killed any-time and never mind the sunk cost? There is a chilling ef-fect when we abandon a pro-gram like this -- particularly the prototyping program that

should serve as an example of how to run future acquisi-tions. It needs to survive in order to spawn others like it. Guess what. This actually is rocket science. We’re talking advanced seekers, exploiting several chunks of the elec-tromagnetic spectrum in the guidance, detection and war-head targeting. It takes time and persistence and dollars. But that’s all worth it when JAGM allows a helicopter crew to shoot from safer range or the Reaper operators to get the target they’ve been watch-ing for hours. Protecting the JAGM program is important

because we can’t afford to lose it. The short-term sav-ings gained from dropping the program now wouldn’t begin to cover the added expense of starting it up again later or fi elding multiple alternatives. If the goal is saving money, the plan should be to keep this program funded. Rebecca Grant, Ph.D., is president of IRIS Independent Research, a public-policy research or-ganization in Washington, DC. She is also director of the General William Mitchell In-stitute for Airpower Studies, the non-profi t research arm of the Air Force Association.

Gentle Reader, let’s you and I discuss, yea, perhaps design, a new criminal justice paradigm; doesn’t that term just make you cringe? It may have meant something once. Now it just sounds cloyingly trite. So why am I using it? Be-cause, as several real writers have maintained, sometimes there is only one term that exactly fi ts. For our pur-poses in our process of ana-lyzing the modifi cation of criminal behavior, that term is paradigm.

So, with apologies for sounding as if I were at-tempting to invigorate a room full of widget sales reps, we will forge ahead to-ward our new paradigm. Of course, before we go a new direction, we might want to designate where we have been and where we are. The answer to both of these is headlong incarceration of everyone from thieves to assassins with little regard for the consequences to our-selves.

It is not that we should ignore the effects of incar-

ceration on the miscreants. It is that we have too long eschewed the costs to the rest of us. Such costs in-

clude huge expenditures of money, emotion and a false sense of security. We build and maintain jails and pris-ons with taxpayer monies we then cannot spend on schools, roads, bridges, etc.

If we start with the true purpose of our criminal jus-tice system, that is, to pro-tect the public, we must, of course, build some jails and prisons to house persons who have harmed or will harm us physically.

But what of those crimi-nals who harm only them-selves or who simply tick us off with their bizarre or inappropriate behavior? Is it in anyone’s best interest to spend $20,000.00 per year

to show them “The Law is Not Mocked”? Or would everyone be better off if society sought not so much to punish such behavior as to modify it. And, as Paul wrote in his Epistle to the Galatians (see Chapter 6) it is with one’s spirit where we must start this process, in-cluding our own volksgeist.

You may recall that for the past two weeks we have investigated that handy term “reconation” which was coined by the philosopher Rene´ Des Cartes to de-scribe a revamping of the combination of mind, body and spirit to modify behav-ior. And if we start with a miscreant’s spirit, just how do we go about identifying, isolating and addressing those factors that are self-defeating and anathema to society? One approach with non-violent drug defendants is to fi rst arrest, i.e., stop the behavior, then just as if one were to apply the concept of Total Quality Management, attack negative behavior incrementally with drug testing, productive (gain-

ful) employment, intensive counseling, changing of peer groups, and most im-portantly graduated sanc-tions and rewards. The well established process of extin-guishing bad behavior with probation, electronic moni-tors, house arrest, work re-lease, jail, then fi nally, for those who refuse to learn, prison, is an incremental, restorative justice model that works.

This is especially true when society demands the criminal defendant who is to receive the benefi t of all these services helps to pay for them.

No, this is not rocket sci-ence, it is far more diffi cult than that as we must fi rst modify our own, the sys-tem’s spirit, before we can achieve the positive modi-fi cation of a criminal’s be-havior. In Posey County we have been working well to-ward these goals for several years now with the involve-ment of several agencies and many people. We have far to go, but as Yoda might say, “Come far we have.”

TRUTH...STRANGERTHANFICTIONBY DAVEPEARCE

Guest Column: Wendy McNamara

I am trying to understand the reasons for funding cuts of 36 percent to the school in New Harmony. I would propose that all legislators, the Governor and all state offi cials take the same 36 percent cut in their perks and pay. I could use the same reasoning. I am un-happy with the performance on the government. The

state doesn’t care that the economy if in the dumps, The state doesn’t care that parents are working two and three jobs to survive. The state doesn’t care that drugs are rampant in the communities and schools. The state only wants to see large schools with no souls for the children.

Guest Column: Rebecca GrantAll Hands on Deck to Preserve the JAGM Program

As the holiday season approaches and as Thanks-giving festivities wind down, I fi nd myself incred-ibly thankful for the many blessings in my life and for the many good people and organizations who bless our community.

I feel especially thank-ful for those organizations which serve special needs children and adults. Rais-ing a special needs child, comes with a unique set of challenges and two orga-nizations work incredibly hard to support families in ensuring their special needs family member can live a full life. Evansville ARC and Jacobs Village are two organizations we are in-

credibly blessed to have. For almost sixty years,

Evansville ARC has fought for all individuals with mental and physical dis-abilities to be regarded as contributing members of society and for needed re-sources to be made avail-able to them. I am very passionate about their cause and am dedicated to supporting legislative mea-sures that make a positive difference in the lives of individuals with develop-mental disabilities.

Educating the public on what individuals with de-velopmental disabilities CAN do has been one of the greatest accomplish-ments of Evansville ARC.

This is epitomized by the thriving, for-profi t distri-bution facility operated by ARC Industries that em-ploys around 200 disabled individuals.

It is also epitomized by the beautiful pieces of art produced by the develop-mentally disabled adults who go to Evansville ARC. These beautiful pieces of art are created by the com-munity at large and are such a great example of what happens when com-munity members come to-gether.

Another great communi-ty that serves special needs adults is Jacobs Village. In-evitably, a time will come when family members will

need to entrust the care of their developmentally dis-abled loved one to others and Jacob’s Village is ready to join the family team by providing a loving home for the special needs adult.

Jacob’s Village, opened in 2004 by the Guagenti family, is a residential community for adults with functional disabilities. Ja-cob’s Village is a wonderful place that provides families the reassurance that their child will be well cared for and loved in a new home.

We are blessed to have these two wonderful orga-nizations in our community that provide needed and vital services to those with developmental disabilities.

A very blessed community

I’ve never been a big lover of the holidays. I’m still naïve enough to think that we don’t necessarily need a “day” for thanksgiving. And while it seems most of my friends and family are big fans, I make an effort to “survive” the holi-days rather than enjoy them.

This year Thanksgiving was a whole lot like Thanks-givings past at the Pearce house. It seems like each year we have a few less people who show up at our annual “Come As You Are” dinner. Connie and I decided probably about 15 years ago that instead of going down the list for each of our families and trying to make a time that everyone could come, we would be proactive and tell everyone when we were going to have a meal. If you can make it, we’re thrilled to have you. If you can’t, then I sincerely hope you enjoy where ever it is you decide to spend the day. But on Thanksgiving Day, there will be a turkey, a ham, and all the trimmings at our house and everyone who wants to come is welcome. And if you have no place else to go, you are especially welcome. This attitude of gratitude keeps both sides of the family from arguing over who is coming and who isn’t. It seems to be the one constant in a time of year fi lled with so many uncertainties and high stress levels.

Connie did almost all of the cooking this year. Seems like it has headed more and more that direction as time seems to be a fl eeting thing for me, even though I don’t mind helping.

This year, we did not have a huge crowd. Enjoying visits throughout the day were Connie’s parents, her two brothers

and their families who could make it, and her special cousin who came in from the Tampa, Fla., area with her husband Nolan the the two boys, Cody and Bo.

On my side of the family, this year was limited to my two sisters and their husbands. Usually one or more of the nieces and nephews will show up at some part of the day but this year, the crowd was limited.

From our own little family, Eric was a welcomed guest along with his pup named Sadie. (You know, one of the mil-lion dollar dogs I have mentioned before).

While I am pretty sure that most of the family (on both sides) don’t really always have both oars in the water, I’m totally convinced that Sadie is a perfect fi t.

You see, just a few days before Thanksgiving, I went out and spent good money to buy myself a new recliner. The one I had used for the last nine years or so was leather and when I sit down, it sometimes more resembles a “fl op” than a sit. So some of the inner parts of the chair are beginning to wear. The chair still looks pretty good but I just fi gured that before it broke completely, I would go ahead and pick up, yes, the big and tall man’s recliner.

I was so proud of it that I even rearranged the living room to make room for it. I moved huge shelves and large pieces of furniture around so the “man chair” could fi t in the corner. Even my wife, although aggravated that I had spent the mon-ey at fi rst, grew to enjoy the comfort of this big man rocker/recliner quickly. She can sit in it and pull her legs up in the chair and relax for hours. I like it because it is one of the fi rst chairs that I can actually have my head and feet completely on parts of the chair, both at the same time.

But that was BS. Here at our house, I now refer to the time

before Eric brought his dog home as BS, as in Before Sadie. This dog has some human-like tendencies while at times, the dog is a total moron.

One of the secrets of Sadie’s survival in a home that does not exactly embrace indoor pets is that you never really pay her much attention. If you just walk through the house and pretend she doesn’t exist, she may get on your nerves but usu-ally that’s about the end of it.

Well, with company here (especially teenagers and young-er), Sadie was suddenly the center of attention. What our guests did not know is that when Sadie becomes the least bit excited, she wets herself (and anything else near her).

And guess where the fi rst person was sitting when Sadie decided to take a fl ying leap of excitement? You guessed it, our guest was sitting in my new Catnapper big and tall men’s rocking recliner. And guess what the fi rst thing Sadie did, not ten minutes into our visit. You guessed it right again. The dog peed on the arm of my new recliner.

Since some of the family knows what Sadie does, they looked at me when it happened with an “oh, she didn’t mean to do that look.” And then, instead of trying to fi nd a way to clean it up, someone in the crowd suggested that I go to the kitchen and fi nd a damp rag and wipe the pee off my new chair.

I tried to keep my composure while letting the guests know in no uncertain terms that when a dog decides to pee on my new men’s big and tall Catnapper rocking recliner, I will cer-tainly not be the one who will be cleaning it up. As a matter of fact, the dog really should be thanking its lucky stars that there was enough family around to keep me from sending it through the uprights on the sides of the French doors on our new room addition.

I am proud that I was able to maintain my composure enough to walk calmly from the room and allow someone else to clean the pee off my chair.

To my knowledge, the only other excitement marks left at our house over the holiday weekend were left on the hard-wood fl oors where they were more easily cleaned. My wife had tried to convince me that ALL puppies pee spontaneously when excited. I’m inclined to believe that is BS.

And the next time an animal decides to turn my recliner into a bathroom, you not only will see BS, you will see AD. For the record, we’ll just call that After Dave.

Holiday visitor rains on my parade... and my chair

The biggest sales event of the year is on now.

By Steve JoosWhat a difference a year makes.Last year, Jennifer Toopes was a first-year

coach of a very young New Harmony girls’ basketball team, which struggled through three losses at the Edwards County Thanks-giving Tournament.

This year, Toopes is in her second season, the three freshmen and two sophomores who started in 2010-11 are three sophomores and two juniors. As a result, the Lady Rappites had a much easier time in Albion.

Kendall Morris scored 16 points to lead three Lady Rappites in double figures as they routed Wayne City 59-37 Saturday to claim the ECHS Invitational trophy.

The Rappites opened the tourney with a 63-22 wipeout of the host Lady Lions. The two blowouts were sandwiched around a more competitive 43-37 win over Hutson-ville-Palestine Tuesday.

“Last year was a rough start,” Toopes said. “I didn’t know any of the teams we were playing. This year, I know the teams we are playing and the girls know what I want that one year’s experience was huge.”

It was definitely huge at Edwards County, as an all-underclass (no seniors) and under-manned (eight players on the roster) New

Harmony squad laid waste to the six-team field.

“Defensively, we gave 100 percent,” Toopes said. “I think we’re playing better de-fense than we are offense. We’re scoring off our defense. We’re a very little team, prob-ably five guards, but we’re out rebounding every team we played this week.”

All of those things were on display Satur-day, especially after the Lady Indians went up 4-3 on a putback by Olivia Clark two minutes into the game.

On their next trip down the floor, Morgan Matthews grabbed a board and stuck the ball back in the basket, giving New Harmony a lead that didn’t go away, it only multiplied.

Did it ever multiply.Three-pointers by Matthews and Madison

Worman stretched the lead to 11-6 before the Lady Rappites closed out the opening chap-ter on a 9-3 spurt, downing three of four free throws in the last 24 seconds to take a 20-9 bulge to the bench at the break.

New Harmony added another five points before Wayne City could hit double figures on a bucket by Hunter Clark midway through the second quarter.

Lady Rappites steamroll opponents to take holiday title

The New Harmony Rappites, champions of the Edwards County Invitational Tour-nament, pose for a picture. The team has began the season on a torrid pace, standing at 3-0 just a week into the season.

Members of the Mount Vernon High School wrestling team that went 7-1 in the Tur-key Classic over the weekend are in front, Mat Maids Riley Goad and Kendal Lang, Benjamin Stallings, Dane Wilson, Julian Suar, Michael Cannato, Devin McCune, Zack Delong, Luke Rohlman, Luke Ripple, Austin Stallings, Mat Maids Ashleigh Goff and

By Steve JoosOne other team may have done “the little

things” better, but the effort was always there for the Mount Venon wrestling team over the weekend.

The Wildcats went 7-1 in their Turkey Classic invitational tournament, losing to Central 44-30 Saturday after a perfect Friday where they topped Pike Central 66-18, Wood Memorial 69-12, Harrison 39-29 and Tecum-

seh 64-18.“I thought we had a great weekend as far

as effort,” first-year coach Tim Alcorn said. “We came up short against Central, they did the ‘little things’ that we didn’t do. I told the kids that little things win big matches and they (Central) out-little thing-ed us, but I saw a lot of effort, we had a good weekend over-all.”

The Cats had trouble winning ties while on

their feet, Alcorn explained, adding that Cen-tral fought hands better and stayed with wrist control, which kept the matches conservative and prevented the Wildcats from escaping or picking up bonus points, as well getting out front and not being a target.

Seniors Steven Blanford and Jordan Dal-las each went 8-0 on the weekend to pace the Wildcats, while 135-pounder John Hoehn and 105-pounder Dane Wilson each went

7-1. Several wrestlers also went 6-2 on the weekend.

While Alcorn was pleased with the strong showing and the confidence it brought the Cats, he cautioned that the team still has a number of things they need to work on as the season progresses.

“Everybody got a match,” he said. “Ev-

during Friday night’s loss to the North Huskies. Photo by Dave Pearce

By Dave PearceJust when it appeared the North Posey Vikings were going

to achieve their fourth straight season-opening win over the North High Huskies on Friday evening in Evansville, inexpe-rience reared its ugly had and the Vikings fell to the Huskies by a 50-42 count.

“The thing we just talked about in there was ‘are we bet-ter than we were last Saturday (at the Linton-Stockton scrim-mage)’?” North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth said following his locker room talk with the team. “We were tremendously better. What we were teaching them didn’t change. Their de-sire to execute and their intensity about the way they prac-ticed was better this week. We take a tough test right out of the gate. North is a tough test for us but down the road, I think it makes us better.”

Defense ruled the first half of the contest with neither team able to penetrate or score on the other. With just about a min-ute remaining in the first half and the Vikings trailing 19-16, old reliable Jourdan Cox, sore foot and all, proved that he can still shoot the three as he pulled up and tied the game at 19 all.

On the ensuing North possession, the Vikings came up with a steal and junior Nick Neidig appeared headed for a dunk but the angle was cut off by the defender. Instead, the referees whistled an obvious goal-tending call and the Vikings were ahead 21-19. That lead would stand up through half-time as the Huskies held for the last shot only to have a tough Viking defense deny them a percentage shot at the basket.

Vikings questioned whether the Vikings would be able to fill the big shoes left by last year’s five graduating seniors, particularly at the role of point guard where Dillon Davenport had played for most of his four years at North Posey.

But a combination of strength, speed, and improved ball-

handling skills proved that junior Wes Harness could be the one to take the lead at the point for the Vikings.

“Wes uses his body well and is confident and he has so many traits and characteristics you look for in a point guard,” Wadsworth said of Harness. “As a matter of fact, Wes did such a good job that at times, we found ourselves standing around watching instead of doing the things we should have been doing.”

In the second half, it appeared that defense would again rule the game as neither team got on the board until Harness was fouled on a drive about two minutes into the third quarter. He hit one of two free throws. After a defensive stop, Harness again drove to the basket with the same result, this time mak-ing both free throws and the Vikings were ahead 24-19.

The Vikings held a three to six point lead most of the third quarter as Cox scored on a rebound bucket and Alec Werry took advantage of his speed on the full court press and took the ball the length of the court for a lay-up. But Cox picked up his third foul at 3:38 of the third quarter and would eventually foul out of the contest, admitting that his injured foot could have hampered his speed just a little as it continues to heal.

With the Vikings leading 28-23 on Werry’s lay-up, the Huskies went on a run that resulted in a 28-all tie with 1:51 to go in the third period.

Wadsworth called a time out and Cox picked up his fourth foul as the Vikings were inbounding the ball, however, the Huskies were unable to capitalize and Harness again provided the spark as he was fouled on a drive with 14 seconds remain-ing in the third period. His two free throws gave the Vikings a narrow 30-28 lead heading into the final eight minutes.

Let’s heat things up with a great season of Winter Sports from Basketball, Swimming,

and Wrestling teams in Posey County!You always have our support and best wishes!

By Steve JoosMount Vernon High School swim stand-

out Erica McCormick was offered a schol-arship by the Indiana University Lady Hoo-siers earlier this year, but she wasn’t ready to commit at the time, choosing instead to visit some other schools.

So the IU coaches did something they’ve never done before.

They held the scholarship for her.That’s how good the Lady Wet Wildcat

breaststroker is and how much potential McCormick, who signed a national letter of intent to attend IU and swim for the Lady Hoosier, apparently has.

“Erica could have gotten a full ride to 95 percent of the colleges in the United States,” Lady Wet Wildcats coach Larry Zoller said. “But there’s an elite group of schools, Indi-ana University being one of them, where she was offered a really decent package, but it’s not the full ride that she would have gotten in many, many other places, but she wanted to swim there because of the school and be-cause of the opportunities there. She’s look-ing forward to making the Olympic Trials and going on to national competition, so she has her sights set very, very high and she’s going there for that opportunity. She’s a very special athlete.”

McCormick has already made national times and was just a little bit off Olympic Trial cuts, Zoller said, which makes her part of an elite group of athletes.

Not that McCormick doesn’t have some lofty ambitions for this year.

She is shooting for a state championship in the 100-breatstroke and the top five at In-dianapolis in the 200, goals which she said would help prepare her for move to Bloom-ington. The IU coaches see McCormick as developing in areas other than the sprint breaststroke, with the 200-breastroke and the 400-medley relay among the possibili-ties.

“You’ve got to realize that Erica is not a 12-month swimmer,” Zoller said. “Erica al-ways chose to do track and it really hurt her in terms of reaching that totally elite level and that was one of the reasons why the IU coaches felt that she had a much greater po-tential that what I had been able to tap.”

The reason for that is because McCormick has only been training nine months out of

the year, while the most elite swimmers go year-round.

Which makes the unprecedented nature of IU’s scholarship offer more amazing.

And the Lady Hoosiers are definitely part of the college swimming elite.

Continuing the tradition began by legend-ary coach “Doc” Councilman, current coach Don Looze’s women’s squad won the Big Ten title last season, racking up 758 points. IU then came in tenth in the NCAA National meet, scoring 133 tallies.

There were a number of different reasons why McCormick chose IU, many unrelated to swimming.

“I liked how it was close to home, but not too close,” she said. “I felt like I really con-nected with the team when I was there and I really like the coaches. It also has the major that I want (dietetics).”

She will be penciled in as a breaststroker and hopes to work her way to a spot on the relays. She feels that while the next level will be tougher as far as the athletic compe-tition is concerned, college life and studying will be easier due to the time management skills McCormick learned while training at Mount Vernon.

“It’s hard here (at Mount Venon),” she said. “So I’m better prepared for IU.”

McCormick is excited about moving on and feels that attending Indiana would help both as a swimmer and in preparing for her future beyond the pool, but she also leaves with fond memories of her time swimming at Mount Vernon under coach Zoller.

“I’m just blessed with all the people who support me,” she said. “I’ve been swimming since I was three years old. It’s always been a part of my life and I just love it and I’m glad I’ll be able to do it in college.”

Zoller had to sell McCormick to IU be-cause of the split time with track and used her enthusiasm as a selling point, something which helps with a five or six-hour training regimen. The positive attitude sold the IU coaches after three visits to Mount Vernon, Zoller said.

“We’re going to miss Erica,” Zoller said. “I’ve coached her ever since she was five years old, so she’s part of our family.”

The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Mc-Cormick of Mount Vernon, McCormick chose Indiana over Iowa and Missouri.

CHRISTMAS GIFTI know it’s almost Christ-

mas and sure it might be a little cold right now but it can still be a great time to catch bass.

Head for the mouth of a creek that has a vertical drop into the channel and some cover. Work a jig slowly on light line from deep to shal-low and let it sit still awhile. Vary your depth, lure sizes and presentation.

A windy bank may pro-vide some off-color water and will be warmer from the wave action. Rocky areas are hideouts for Kentucky and smallmouth bass, not to men-tion an occasional white bass.

Keep a positive attitude (it is Christmas you know?) and keep in mind that the largest bass caught just about every year comes from cold water.

By Dave PearceFor the fi rst few minutes of this week’s North Posey girls’

game at Evansville Central, the Lady Vikings looked like a winless team trying to fi nd their own way. As a matter of fact, they fell behind early 18-5 and it appeared the Lady Vikings had learned very little in their fi rst three games of the season which all resulted in losses.

“I don’t know what we did in pregames but our team just came out and had an awful fi rst quarter,” North Posey Coach Tracy Stroud said. “We got beat 18-5 the fi rst quarter but the next three quarters, we beat them. We are just not good enough to give up that many points or fall that far be-hind. But despite that, we had several chances to tie it up.”

But for the fi rst time this season, the Lady Vikings came back with fi re in their eyes and real bullets in the offensive guns as they began to chop away at the Central lead. By half-time, the Lady Vikes had pulled back to within 27-19,

the most points scored in a half all season. But the Lady Vikings were far from fi nished.

The Vikings came out of the locker room ready to do bat-tle and Amy Brandenstein connected to pull the Vikings to within 27-21. Then after forcing successive turnovers with a tenacious man-to-man press, the Hannah Harness hit Hay-ley Harness cutting toward the basket and the Vikings were within four at 27-23.

The Bears fi nally got on the scoreboard when 6-foot se-nior Caitlin Herrmann picked up her second foul and the Bears converted a pair of free throws to reclaim a six-point lead.

The Bears then executed some pressure of their own and were rewarded with a steal and a bucket before the Lady Vikes answered.

With Brianna Perry in the line-up for Herrmann, she picked up her third foul at the 4:34 mark and her fourth only two seconds later, forcing freshman Rachel Ungetheim into the game.

Central’s Liz Wilzbacher, who led all scorers, nailed a big 3-pointer at the 4:20 mark to expand Central’s lead to nine but following a North Posey time out, Hannah Harness an-swered with a three of her own.

With North Posey’s only senior Herrmann on the bench, it seemed to force the other players to raise the level of their games and not look so much to Herrmann on the inside. It also forced Central to relax a little instead of concentrating on the lanky senior and that allowed the Vikings to screen and cut more effectively inside.

“Caitlinn is such an outstanding leader for this team,” Stroud said. “Se saw that we were making a run with a smaller line-up on the fl oor at the time and she handled that very well not only on the fl oor but also in the locker room. She didn’t hang her head and was right in there encouraging her teammates.”

Ungetheim got her fi rst assist when she hit Brandenstein from the right side at the 3:28 mark and the Vikings forced another turnover. The Vikings could not convert but Emma Werry then came up with another steal before Brandenstein went into heavy traffi c and scored and was fouled. Her free throw pulled the Vikings back to within 34-33.

“We would get close and then have some opportunities but just never seemed to be able to get over that hump.” Stroud said. “The fi rst quarter I didn’t think we played very hard but the last three quarters I felt we got the effort back and we just keep plugging away. I think we are getting bet-ter every game.”

But Central got back-to-back buckets inside before Un-getheim and Brandenstein took turns scoring and again it was a one-point game at 38-37 when the horn sounded end-ing the third period.

The Lady Vikings had two chances to take the lead on their fi rst two possessions of the fourth quarter but each time, were unable to convert. Central then hit one of two free throws before the Lady Vikings again had back-to-back chances to either tie or take the lead but again, were not able to hit the big shot.

The Bears went ahead 44-40 on Perry’s fi fth foul but Werry answered with a pair of free throws to pull the Vikes within 44-42.

Stroud explained that at times, Werry has the confi dence to take the ball deep inside the zone but then she doesn’t have the size to make things happen inside. At other times, the Viking wings fail to get into position to allow Werry to have an outlet pass and it appears to be Werry’s fault when in reality, she was getting the ball where it is supposed to be and the wings are out of position.

The Vikings had another golden opportunity after they called time out at the 1:13 mark as Hannah Harness came up with a big steal and was fouled driving to the basket. She was unable to convert either free throw and as time wound down, the Bears hit one of two free throws to claim the nar-row 45-42 win.

“We are young enough that we don’t all know our roles and know what we are capable of individually yet,” Stroud said. “But we didn’t expect this young team to be playing great basketball at the beginning of the season. But as we continue to learn our roles and improve, we could be a pret-ty good basketball team by the end of the year.”

North Posey quarterback Colton Motz has been named the offensive captain of this season’s All-Pocket Athletic Conference football team.

Motz, who played a key role in eh Vi-kings’ 8-2 record and PAC co-champion-ship, was the only signal caller chosen for the all-conference squad, which was an-nounced recently. The senior was one of six Vikings chosen for the team.

Running back Wes Harness, guard Bryce Koester, and ends Nick Neidig and Ben Braunecker join Motz on the offensive unit, while defensive back Alex Goebel is on the defensive unit.

Southridge, which share the title with North Posey, put four on the all-conference team, including running back Daniel Perez, tackle Kyle Seger, lineman Cody Moesner and defensive back Luke Messmer, who was also named defensive captain.

Even though they were 5-2 in PAC, Heritage Hills led all teams with seven se-lections. Running back Zack Luebbehu-sen, tackle Trent Simpson and guard Jared Boehn are on the offensive unit. Patriots on the defensive side of the ball included Dan Zavala, Tre Williams, Miles Kline and Da-mon Wahl.

South Spencer and Gibson Southern each

had four All-PAC picks, with South Spen-cer’s Jared Lauer on the offensive unit and Kalob Salkill and Tyler Hermann playing defense. The Rebels’ Cody Woodburn was one of two kickers on the team.

The Titans are represented by Alex Creamer, David Anguish, kicker Randy De-Weese and punter Jordan Scheller.

Conference most valuable player Ben

Braunecker is one of three Forest Park Rangers on the squad, joining Lynk Kordes and Miles Leonard.

Tell City linebacker Blake Nordhoff and Pike Central center Tanner Matteson round-ed out the team.

Four Vikings also earned All-PAC hon-orable mentions, including Jared Reidford, Austin Little, Kurt Seibert and Jourdan Cox.

Kelsey Owen answered for the Lady Rappites, ignit-ing an 8-0 run that made the halftime score 33-11.

The Lady Indians generat-ed a little more offense in the second half, but still trailed 48-22 entering the fourth quarter.

“We’re shooting from the outside very well,” Toopes said. “We’re shooting from the inside very well and the girls are driving to the bas-ket very well, so it doesn’t matter what kind of defense they’re in, we’re scoring off

it.”New Harmony led by as

many as 26 points in the fourth quarter before a late run by Wayne City closed the gap a bit.

Worman added 15 points and Matthews 10 to give New Harmony three players in double fi gures. Owen put in nine points, Alyssa Scher-zinger fi ve and Kaitlin New-man two.

Brittany Stephenson paced Wayne City with a game-high 19 points.

All eight players on the New Harmony roster played against Wayne City and all eight contributed to the win, Toopes said.

Sandwiched between the two big wins was a bit of a test from Hutsonville-Pales-tine.

The Lady Tigers took an 8-6 lead after the opening chapter and stretched it to 20-16 at the intermission before New Harmony could mount a comeback.

Once again, defense played a crucial role.

“We took their two best players out of scoring oppor-tunities,” Toopes explained.

“We turned it up and tied the game in the third quarter. That was our goal to even it up in the third quarter and take the lead in the fourth quarter.”

Brooke Calloway and Ni-cole Kiger did much of the damage for the Lady Tigers, with 12 points each, but that wasn’t the case after half-time, as New Harmony shut them down and outscored Hutsonville-Palestine 13-9, forcing the 29-29 deadlock and then keeping the Illinois-ans to eight fourth-quarter tallies to put the game away.

Meanwhile, Morris stepped up to score 11 points and lead New Harmony. The junior guard was the lonely Lady Rappite to hit double fi gures in all three games.

Owen scored nine points, while Worman and Mat-thews each added eight, Scherzinger fi ve and Kendall Lyke two.

The Lady Rappites were especially dominant in their fi rst tournament game, a 63-22 rout of the host Lady Li-ons.

Four Lady Rappites hit double fi gures as New

Harmony scored the fi rst 32 points of the game and kept Edwards County off the scoreboard until Alisha Steiner nailed an 18-footer with 3:24 left in the fi rst half, a dry spell which covered the fi rst 13 minutes of the game.

It was 22-0 New Harmony after the fi rst eight minutes that lead was stretched to 37-7 at halftime as the Lady Rappites took advantage of some porous ball-handling and rough shot selection on the part of the highly inex-perienced (one senior, four freshmen on the roster) Lady Lions.

ECHS managed to score seven points over the last three minutes of the second quarter, then didn’t hit dou-ble fi gures until just under a minute was gone in the third quarter. New Harmony led 48-14 entering the fi nal eight minutes.

Owen scored 17 points and Matthews added 16 for New Harmony, which also got 14 from Morris and 12 from Worman. Scherzinger chipped in four.

Freshman Kaitlin Schmit-tler put in 10 points to pace an Edwards County squad which Toopes said was a bit down this season.

“I thought Edwards Coun-ty was weaker this year, but this was a good confi dence boost for us,” the coach ex-plained. “Last year we start-ed three freshmen and two sophomores. This year, it’s three sophomores and two juniors. That year’s worth of experience was a big differ-ence.”

The Lady Rappites showed savvy at the charity stripe, making 75 percent of their free throws in the tour-nament.

“I’m very proud of the girls,” Toopes said. “I couldn’t be prouder.”

With a year’s experience, why not?

body got a winnable match, I mean, 7-1 is a good way to start. We can say we lost to Central and be down, but a

lot of teams would kill to be 7-1, so we will take that as a positive and build on it.”

The Cats pinned down Bosse in the season opener earlier in the week.

Alcorn thought the team wrestled much cleaner in the Turkey Classic, adding that the team may have been a little rough wrestling on

a Monday night, but they were able to come back for the weekend.

“The Turkey Classic is tradition,” he said “And we sold the kids on that.”

Overall, it was a good selling job. Now, if they had just out-little thing-ed the Bears.

The loss to Central fol-

lowed a 38-33 escape from North in Saturday’s opening match. The Cats recovered to slam Forest Park 58-24 and South Spencer 51-27 in the last two rounds.

The Bears claimed the Turkey Classic champion-ship on a tiebreaker due to the head-to-head meeting with the Wildcats (North

beat their city rivals 42-39 in the fi rst round).

The Huskies were third with a 6-2 record, followd by Harrison (5-3). Forest Park and South Spencer each posted 4-4 records, while Tecumseh and Pike Central each went 2-6. Wood Me-morial (0-8) rounded out the nine-team fi eld.

Cox scored the fi rst two points of the quarter from the line as North’s athletic team,

itching for a big block, went for the head fake several times and Cox made them pay with the free throws. But on the ensuing possession, Cox picked up his fourth foul at the 5:35 mark.

A North 3-pointer tied the game at 33 with 5:24 to go. A Harness free throw and Nei-dig tip-in pulled the teams even at 36 with four minutes remaining.

But from the four-minute

mark on, the Viking inexpe-rience showed as the Hus-kies ran off the next fi ve points over a two-and-a-half minute span before Harness fi nally stemmed the tide on a rebound bucket.

The effort remained steady but the young Viking nerves did not. Austin Bender drew a charge to get the ball back but Harness went to the fl oor following contact coming up the court. No whistle blew

and North stuck in a lay-up to give them a 43-38 lead.

“I think Austin Bender’s hustle was exceptional and Colton Motz provided that, too,” Wadsworth said. “When you look at that type of hustle and you know you are getting that kind of ef-fort from those guys, I have confi dence in them fi nding a shot or two along the way to contribute on the offensive end.”

“For the fi rst time this year, we were down and we felt the pressure and we didn’t respond as well as we needed to,” Wadsworth said. “It was the fi rst time in that situation for a lot of those guys. Learning how to han-dle those situations can only make us better.”

The Huskies’ defense then took over as the Vikings, with Cox on the bench with fi ve fouls and Harness on

the bench with a knee issue, turned the ball over three straight times. North jumped out to a 46-39 lead before Werry hit one of two free throws with 1:19 remaining.

The fi nal Viking points of the game were scored on a 3-point basket by Cody Un-getheim.

The Vikings will return to action on Friday, Dec. 2 when they host Mount Ver-non at 6 p.m. at North Posey.

WE’VE TEAMED UP FOR YOURCONVENIENCE...

By Steve JoosThe New Harmony boys’

basketball team had to shake off the jitters, one of the best teams in the tournament and a tough loss over the course of their Thanksgiving week adventure at the Grayville Thanksgiving Tournament, not to mention a torn pair of pants which forced coach Jim Little to sport striped warm up pants for the tour-ney opener.

All that adversity had a happy ending Saturday af-ternoon when the Rappites edged Clay City 52-51 for seventh place in the 15th an-nual tournament.

Kyle Whitmore scored 22 points, half of them in the second quarter, when the Rappites outscored the Wolves 24-15 and turned a 13-7 fi rst quarter defi cit into a 31-28 halftime lead.

New Harmony stretched its advantage to 41-36 after three quarters, but they had to keep the Wolves from the door in the fi nal eight min-utes as Clay City scored 15 points, but fl ee just short as three-pointers by Whitmore and Zach Sollman held off the Wolves.

Sollman’s fourth quarter trey was his only bucket of the afternoon. Clint Mat-thews added 11 points, El-liott Lange nine and Tyler Wright six, both on a pair of second-quarter threes. For the game, New Harmony dropped in seven three-balls, fi ve of them in the second quarter.

Beau Vanblaricum paced Clay City with 10 points, scoring seven to help bring the Wolves almost all the way back in the fi nal chapter.

The Rappites had to play in Saturday’s opener after losses to eventual tourney runner-up Cisne in the open-er 59-45, Edwards County on Tuesday 65-55 and Gala-tia on Friday 39-36 in a game Little said New Harmony should have won.

Against the Bearcats, New Harmony jumped out to a 12-4 fi rst quarter lead and maintained that advantage in the second quarter as the Rappites took a 23-14 bulge to the locker room at half-time, but they were held to a mere four points in the third chapter.

A bucket by Wright and two Lange free throws were New Harmony’s only of-fense in the third quarter. Galatia, meanwhile, climbed back to within two points at 27-25 and then overtook the Rappites in the fourth quar-ter.

Shay Flowers and Josh Moore did most of the over-coming for the Bearcats. Flowers scored eight of his game-high 14 points in the fourth quarter, while Moore put in four of his 11 tallies in the last chapter.

Whitmore paced the Rap-pites with 12 points, but scored 10 of them in the fi rst half. Lange tried to pick up the slack, scoring six of his seven points after the intermission, but it wasn’t enough.

Sollman added six points (on two fi rst-half three-pointers), while Caleb Mc-Daniel put in four. Wight and Thomas Steagall each scored three points and A.J. Eaton added one.

Against Cisne, the Rap-pites needed three quarters to shake the jitters.

On Tuesday, they got off to a good start, but a few bad stretches did them in as they fell to Edwards County 65-55.

“(Losing to Cisne), it was a case of the nerves,” Little said. “It was a tough game, Cisne’s a good ball club. It took until the fourth quarter for them to get loosened up a play the way they’re capable of playing. What happened (against ECHS) we were going to make them shoot the three. Unfortunately, we didn’t block out as well and we didn’t take the charges when we penetrate and that’s something we need to do. It was a barn burner all the way.”

But there were a few stretches which may have given the volunteer fi re de-partment enough time to save the barn.

New Harmony took a fi ve-point lead in the open-ing chapter, scoring six unanswered points on con-secutive three-pointers by Whitmore to go to the side-lines up 18-13 after the fi rst eight minutes.

But Edwards County an-swered by opening the sec-ond quarter with an 11-2 run to take a 24-20 advantage. A trey by Sollman and two Lange free throws restored New Harmony’s lead, but Edwards County went on another run, reeling off fi ve unanswered points for a 29-25 lead enroute to a 35-30 halftime advantage.

“I’m not happy about los-ing the game,” Little said. “I know we could have won, but a couple of little things here and there that we could have improved.”

Edwards County was a little deeper and had more experience in the backcourt, Little explained. As a result, the Lions were able to force some turnovers and convert those into easy baskets.

While the Rappites were able to hang around in the third quarter, they still couldn’t get over the hump, despite cutting the lead to 40-37 on a trey by Soll-man and got to within two on free throw by Lange and then a driving layup by the big senior forward, Edwards County still came out of the third period with a 46-42 lead after the Lions’ Jonah Lewis putback a rebound at the end of the period. Then ECHS cored the fi rst eight points of the fourth quarter to open a 12-point bulge which would go to 16 at 65-49 before New Harmony scored the last six points of the game.

Little pulled Whitmore at the end of the second quar-ter and that may have given Edwards County a chance to open things up by halftime.

Whitmore pumped in 21 points to lead the Rap-pites, while Lange added 11 and Sollman 12 on four three-pointers. Steagall and McDaniel each scored four points, while Matthews rounded out the Rappite of-fense with three.

Riley Raber paced the Lions with 22 points, while Lewis added 18 and Bran-don Harris 10.

Lange also helped out with 15 rebounds, while

Whitmore cleared seven.In the tourney opener,

the Cisne Running Lions ran the Rappites out of the Grayville gym for three fi rst three quarters before New Harmony came on in the fourth quarter to make the fi nal score a more respective 59-45.

The actual game may not have been as close as the fi -nal score, even though the Rappites could have cut fur-ther into the lead had a few more shots fallen, the coach said.

Cisne called off the press and went to its bench in the fourth quarter and that gave the Rappites a chance to regroup, Little explained, which helped New Harmo-ny reach a goal: winning the second half.

The Rappites actually had a brief lead when Whitmore drained a three-pointer two minutes into the game, but that was all the Rappites had to cheer about, as the Run-ning Lions went on a 16-0 run and basically put the game away.

Whitmore scored again with 30 seconds left in the opening chapter to break the dry spell, leaving the Rappites down 18-5 at the break. It was 36-14 at half-time and 50-22 after three quarters.

It was still 55-32 when the Rappites went on a 13-2 run that made things a bit more respectable.

“Cisne came out with a

full-court press,” Little said. “We were making some predictable passes that they were able to step in front of. Cisne had seven or eight people that they kept run-ning at us. ”

Nerves were also prob-lems, as Little started a very

inexperienced group which included a pair of freshmen.

Whitmore paced the Rap-pites with 21 points, while Matthews added 10 and Lange nine. Sollman scored three points, while Steagall and McDaniel each chipped in two. Lange cleared 11 re-

bounds, Whitmore nine and Matthews eight.

Justin Attebury scored 16 points to lead Cisne, while Aaron Bullington added 10.

Little had to wear a pair of tearaway pants after experi-encing some wardrobe mal-functions prior to the game.

By Steve JoosThe other teams at Sat-

urday’s Terre Haute North quadrangular dual found out why the Mount Ver-non Lady Wildcats are the state’s seventh-ranked girls’ swim team, while the boys got in a few licks as well.

The Lady Wet Wildcats celebrated their upward mobility in the state rank-ings by sweeping their meets with victories over Jeffersonville 128-55, West Lafayette 133-53, the host Lady Patriots 135-51 and Indianapolis heavyweight Lawrence North 111-75.

The boys had to settle for a split, beating West Lafay-ette 113-69 and Terre Haute North 129-69, but falling to Jeffersonville 127-58 and Lawrence North 114-69.

Heading into last week’s meet the Lady Wet Cats jumped to seventh in the state rankings with 64 points, give in back of sixth-place Chesterton (69). North Central was eighth with 45.

Carmel remains the top-ranked girls’ team in the state with 198 points.

At Terre Haute, the Lady Wet Cats repeated their Mount Vernon Invitational performance by sweeping the racing events, including all three relays.

Erica McCormick, Kelsey Turner and Clara Baggett were each dual win-ners in the individual events and each helped out in the relays.

Baggett won the 200-yard freestyle (1:59.39) and the 500-freestyle (5:25.28), while Tuner took the 50-freestyle (:25.68) and the 100-butterfl y (1:01.80). Mc-Cormick took the 100-free-style in: 54.00 and then

captured the 100-backstorke (1:01.45).

Sam Gowdy and Mary Klueh had the other indi-vidual blue ribbons, with Gowdy posting a 2:19.42 in the 200-indivdual med-ley and Kleuh (who went 1-2 with Gowdy in the IM) taking the 100-breastroke (1:09.30).

Reid Mobley won the 100-backstroke in: 55.74, but the boys mostly picked up lower fi nishes to come in between West Lafayette and Terre Haute North, while trailing Jeffersonville and Lawrence North.

Terre Haute North Quad boys; meet:

200-medley relay: 3) Mount Vernon; 200-free-style: Nicholas Loehr (sixth); 50-freestyle: R.

Prior to the holidays, the Wildcats dominated their own invite.

The Mount Vernon girls’ swim team started this sea-son ranked tenth in the state.

That was before Clara Baggett started swimming.

The freshman Lady Wet Wildcat set two school re-cords, a meet record and a pool record as Mount Ver-non dominated its own invi-tational meet.

Mount Vernon scored 422 points, almost twice as many as runner-up Jasper (250). Jeffersonville was third with 180.

“We had some good rac-es,” coach Larry Zoller said. “We swept the races. Clara Baggett had a very good meet. Erica McCormick had some good races. We had several swimmers perform well and we had a number of personal bests.”

The meet wasn’t the Clara Baggett show, but it probably seemed that way after the freshman swam her fi rst few events. First, she swam the 50-yard freestyle in :23.68, breaking the meet and pool record set by Jas-per’s Ariel Martin in 2004. If that wasn’t enough, the freshman also broke Mi-chea Reinitz’s 2009 school record.

Three events later, Baggett hit the water for the 100-freestyle and passed Kelsey Turner in the school record book, posting a time of: 52.27 and beating the old mark by 15-hundreths of a

second. Baggett also swam a leg

on two of the Lady Wet Wildcats’ three blue-ribbon winning relay teams.

Although one of her re-cords fell Saturday, Turner had a good day, as did one of the usual suspects (Mc-Cormick) and one of the young guns (Sam Gowdy).

“Kelsey Turner did well today,” Zoller said. “She had

some of her best times in the 200-freestyle (1:58.51) and the 500 (5:23.66). Sam Gowdy also had some her best times in the 100-but-terfl y (1:02.04) and the 100-backstroke (1:00.83). We just had a good over-all meet today. It’s hard to single out anyone since the team did so well.”

McCormick also took two races, capturing 200-indi-vidual medley (2:07.31) ad the 100-breaststroke, while swimming a leg on two re-lays.

They were the “stars” of the meet, but Zoller was a little bit concerned about the supporting players.

“We need to get a better effort out of our two, three and four swimmers,” the coach said. “Castle’s got a good team this season and we not only want to get as many girls to state as we can, but we also want to get there as a team.”

The Lady Wet Cats have some very talented indi-vidual swimmers, Zoller explained, but it will take the team to get past the Sec-tional.

Memorial was fourth in the meet, edging Terre

Haute North 155-153. Heri-tage Hills (110), Reitz (83), Vincennes Rivet (26) and Central (16) rounded out the fi eld.
