By Dave PearceOn Monday morning, Sept.

13, 2010, emergency personnel from Posey County responded to a call at the Wabash River Bridge in New Harmony. Re-portedly, an unknown subject had parked his car on the bridge and had jumped off the bridge.

According to a Posey County Sheriff’s Deputy at the scene, local ambulance personnel had arrived prior to law enforcement and the man had swam to shore and had been taken to Deacon-ess Hospital in Evansville.

The name had not been re-leased at press time, however, a check of the Indiana Vander-burgh county license plate came back to a resident of Liber-tyville, Ill. Upon closer exami-nation, the plate was traced to a residence on Brooklyn Street in Evasnville.

According to the deputy, the individual had been seen New harmony’s Maple Hill Cemetery just moments before the man had jumped from the bridge.

The incident remains under investigation.

By Dave PearceWhen the Aventine Ethanol pro-

duction plant goes on line in late September, not everyone in Posey County will be thrilled.

While most (if not all) are happy to have the additional 55 jobs the plant will bring to the county, many will be sorry to see the 290 to 300 construction workers at the plant leave their community.

A new Chinese restaurant has gotten a healthy start due to its proximity to the worksite. Other established restaurants and grocers will also miss the workers, as will the two Mount Vernon motels who have housed many of the workers

who have been on the project for the past few months. Local busi-nesses and suppliers have felt the positive effects of the project at a time when the economy was not so bright.

“I’m anxious to get the reports and see what effect the workers have had on the local sales tax rev-enue,” See said. “I will go out on a limb and say that I believe we are going to see a pretty large increase in sales taxes in this area in the time these workers have been here.”

But Site Supt. Jeff See indicated on Wednesday morning the water tanks at the site are now fi lled with Mount Vernon City Water and the

fi rst 35 workers (Under Phase One) have been hired and are already in training on-site. They will have six to eight weeks of training. Phase Two of the plan calls for the dou-bling of the plant’s capacity. But according to See, current market conditions could mean that the next phase of the plant could be quite a ways down the road.

“Gasoline has decreased and oil is lower than it was back in 2007,” See said. “Right now there’s a 10 percent wall on the blend content of ethanol. We’re hoping that we can get a favorable EPA ruling some-time in 2011, so we can see that number go up to 12 or maybe even

15 percent ethanol. That would ob-viously create a larger demand.”

Local reporters were invited to the site this week to watch as offi -cials presented a check to the Posey County Humane Society. See indi-cated that at each of the sites he has overseen, there has been a fundrais-er held on the site and that fundrais-ing was held only on the site with no outside solicitation. The workers at the site donated $3000 in money as well as some other items to the Society.

By Valerie Werkmeister A shortfall in ambulance coverage

has raised the ire of members of the Poseyville Town Council. During their regular meeting Wednesday, September 8, council member, Ron Fallowfi eld, voiced his concerns about the current time coverage Poseyville and other northen Posey County communities are slated.

Fallowfi eld explained that every week, Poseyville is left without an ambulance for two, 24-hour shifts and one, eight-hour shift. During that time, the ambulance is at Marrs Elementary. Posey County has a to-tal of three ambulances that service the entire county. One ambulance stays in the south end covering Mount Vernon. The other ambu-lance is in New Harmony, which leaves the third to split time between Marrs and Poseyville.

Fallowfi eld recently expressed his concerns to the Posey County Com-missioners. He stated he received an e-mail noting the commissioners are pleased with the current set-up and do not plan to make any changes.

“Marrs is seven miles from Evansville. We, at the north end, are the furthest from the hospital. When someone is in need of an ambulance here, we have to wait 20-23 min-utes for them to come from Marrs and then there’s another 20-25 min-ute drive to the closest hospital in Evansville,” Fallowfi eld said.

Poseyville Town Council Presi-dent Bruce Baker shared his senti-ments.

“We, the members of the Poseyville Town Council, want bet-ter service for Poseyville and the surrounding area. We are just ask-ing that they do something better,” Baker said.

Julie Mayo announced that gas rates decreased 22 percent. The new rate will be effective for the con-sumption months of August, Sep-tember and October. In addition to this month’s bill, Poseyville utility patrons will receive letters regard-ing the upcoming leaf removal. Residents should rake leaves to street curbs and not directly into the street. Anyone caught violating this request may face a fi ne.

The Utility Department will have a booth set-up at the Autumnfest. Mayo stated that people are encour-aged to stop by after Sunday’s pa-rade to register for a chance to win a Feed Mill gift certifi cate.

Preliminary plans are already un-derway for the Safe Routes to School program. The council learned last month that they had been awarded $150,000 in grant money to con-struct sidewalks, a marked school zone and install fl ashing lights.

Unidentifi ed man jumps from bridge

By Dave PearceAnyone who has traveled High

School Road at North Posey High School is aware that the road is un-safe. Little to no shoulder in places on an already-narrow road does and should cause concern for par-ents and students alike who travel the road regularly. Accidents on the stretch have gotten the attention of the Posey County Commissioners.

Steve Schenk, over Posey Coun-ty’s roads, has asked the commis-sioners to look into getting fi nancial help to solve the problem. The fi rst step to getting some sort of funding

through the Local Technical As-sistance Program is a Road Safety Audit. The audit was performed on August 24 and to no one’s surprise, the road was found to have plenty of room for improvements.

Findings included the need for:1. Pavement markings are worn

beyond visible.2. School zone speed reductions.3. Stop signs in appropriate plac-

es.Other things were cited as well.

By Pam RobinsonWhile the Mount Vernon school board continues to

look for ways to use monies effi ciently, the district felt even more effects of state funding cuts recently.

MSD Mount Vernon School Supt. Tom Kopatich noted the district no longer has an attendance offi cer. Those responsibilities have been added to the load for assistant principals and school social workers. He is hopeful Check and Connect will help with lower the district’s 6 percent dropout rate since 2 to 3 percent of that rate is attributed to truancy.

The board approved a new program, Check and Con-nect, for the Mount Vernon High School during this week’s meeting.. Check and Connect will be started in collaboration with the federally funded Safe Schools Healthy Students program as well as the Mount Vernon Police Department, or MVPD, and will address school attendance issues. Captain Dana Allyn of the MVPD and a social work intern at the University of Southern

Indiana will serve in the role of attendance monitor. No General Fund monies will be used since the Safe Schools Healthy Students initiative is providing reim-bursement up to $5,000 to the Mount Vernon Police Department for Allyn’s on-duty time.

Kopatich expects Allyn to work with 15 to 20 stu-dents and their families.

Likewise, the board applauded Sheila Stewart after her announcement that church leaders and community organizations, including Youth Emergency Services, or YES, the YMCA and Big Brothers Big Sisters, will open a family resource center for at-risk students and their families. Volunteers will meet with students at the Alexandrian Public Library every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stewart said the center will provide tutoring and counseling services. Kopatich encouraged Stewart to contact Dr. Cynthia Smith, the Director of the Safe Schools Healthy Students program, and offered his help if needed.

was in an idle state for so long,” See said of Aventine’s Mount Vernon site. “We’re in the conditioning start-up phase of the plant and we are starting up motors that drive the pro-cess to ensure that they will start from the computer. The computer sends a start signal to the motor to make sure it will start and we have to check it for proper rotation as we hook it up to whatever it is supposed to drive. It is a very important part of the pro-gram and it is working very well so far.”

The original schedule called for Aventine to start-up last week under See’s post-bank-ruptcy guidance. However, the start-up date was pushed up to October 25 and it appears that things will be right on schedule. Vec-tren has now energized the substation and there is permanent power into the plant.

“The original drive for that Sept. 7 start-up was for an EPA Environmental regula-tion that since we have started back up with construction, they have re-issued that to give us the time they claim they mean us to have by the original regulation,” See ex-plained.

See said that early numbers on local corn production have been a little lower than the company had hoped for with the drought bringing average yields back down to the 150 bushels-per-acre vicinity.

“We’ve noticed that our neighbors (namely Consolidated Grain and Barge) are beginning to stockpile corn outside and I am assuming that is for us,” See said.

The target date for the total completion of the Mount Vernon plant is November 17. The road lighting and other things that are not necessities for plant operation can be completed between the start-up and the Nov. 17 completion target.

Once the plant is complete and up and running, company offi cials will be required to appear before Posey County offi cials to make sure they have done everything re-quired to qualify for the abatements which lured the plant to Mount Vernon.

“We are actively working on that. We met with the county council last month and plan to meet with them again this month,” See said. “We are in the process of meeting the requirements as someone from the asses-sor’s offi ce will be out here next week to go through and assess the value of our prop-erty. The assessment must be done prior to the actual approval of the abatement. We have hired the majority of our employees locally and we’ve tried to do all the things they have asked us to do so I am confi dent. It is the right thing and critical for our bal-ance sheet going forward.”

Christmas Assistance Program gets underway

By Pastor Matt Watson, Mount Vernon General Baptist Church

I am from Arkansas. And no, that’s not a start to a joke! I was born in Arkansas and

have found that state to be fi lled with common sense wisdom—wisdom rooted in Judeo-Christian ethic of the Bible. Thomas Paine once said: ‘common sense is not so common.’ A friend emailed me this article a few months ago. Perhaps we can all profi t from these sayings?

When you wallow with the • pigs, expect to get dirty. Life is simpler when you • plow around the stump. A bumble bee is consid-• erably faster than a John Deere tractor. Forgive your enemies; it • messes up their heads. It don’t take a very big per-• son to carry a grudge. Most of the stuff people • worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway. Don’t judge folks by their •

relatives. Remember that silence • is sometimes the best an-swer. If you fi nd yourself in a • hole, the fi rst thing to do is stop diggin’!Always drink upstream • from the herd. If you get to thinkin’ you’re • a person of infl uence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog aroundDon’t pick a fi ght with an • old man. If he’s too old to fi ght, he’ll just kill you. The Jewish fathers in the

faith made famous the art of commentary on the Scripture. Midrash was a way of inter-preting biblical stories that go beyond simple distillation of religious, legal or moral teachings. Midrash fi lls the gap left in events and person-

alities that are only hinted at. Consider the following a sort of reverse midrash. In order, here are some biblical phras-es that illuminate this “Old Arkansas Farmers Advice.”

“Do not be misled, ‘Bad • company corrupts good character.’” 1 Cor. 15:33“(Do not) promote contro-• versies rather than God’s work—which is by faith.” 1 Ti 1:4 “The sting of death is sin… • but… He gives us the vic-tory through… Jesus.” 1 Cor. 15: 56-7“Do not let the sun go • down while you are still angry.” Eph. 4:26 “In your anger do not sin.” • Eph. 4:26 “Who of you by worrying • can add a single hour to his life?” Matt. 6:27

“Cain attacked his brother • Abel and killed him(!)” Ge. 4:8 “Be still and know that (the • LORD) is God.” Ps. 46:10 “We know that anyone • born of God does not con-tinue to sin.” 1 Jn 5:18 “the water (Jesus) • give(s)… will become in him a spring… to eternal life.” John 4:14“(Jesus) did not come to be • served, but to serve, and to give his life... for many.” Matt. 20:28 “Rehoboam rejected the • advice the elders gave… and consulted the young men.” 1 Ki 4:8 I hope you will open your-

self up to learn from people from all different walks of life. Wisdom, if it proves to be wisdom at all, can be tracked back to the original wise guy. I hope you will learn from the sages of the ages whether the carrier is “An Old Arkansas Farmer” or someone else. Wisdom is wisdom. And it takes wisdom to apply wis-dom. So get wise in God’s Word and you will be better equipped with the wisdom it will take to apply the wisdom you hear day-by-day.

If you don’t have a lo-cal church to call home, we welcome you any Sunday at 10:30 am. To learn more go to www.mvgb.org.

Pastor Matt serves at Mt. Vernon General Baptist Church. He loves his three girls, trout fi shing, playing basketball, coffee and the tv show “24.”

By Pam RobinsonThe Mount Vernon Board

of Public Works and Safety approved the contract with Bernardin Lochmueller and Associates, or BLA, for Phase 2, survey and design, of the riverfront develop-ment project at the Thursday, September 9, meeting. The vote authorizes Mayor John Tucker and Clerk-Treasurer Cristi SItzman to sign off on the contract.

BLA representative Judy Dicus Thomann explained the contract covers the de-sign phase for the silo area and down to the river next to Sherburne Park. She pointed out some of the features included in the design: an interactive water area, look-out point, trail heads and an amphitheatre with utilities. She stated the project will cross Water Street into Main Street.

Thomann commended the city on the project, funded through an 80/20 match-ing grant in the amount of $900,000 awarded by the In-diana Department of Trans-

portation, or INDOT. Mayor Tucker emphasized that no property tax dollars will be used for this project; instead, the money will come from others areas such as the eco-nomic development income tax, or EDIT, State Gaming Fund and Rainy Day Fund.

Tucker noted that BLA was the engineer for Phase 1 of the riverfront develop-ment project, recently com-pleted ahead of schedule and under budget.

In other business:•Once again, David

Wiginton of 530 W. Second St. appeared before the board seeking redress for damages resulting from the city police breaking in his front door early this year after someone reportedly called 911 about an overdose and gave his address. Wiginton stated he believes the city has an ethi-cal, if not a legal, responsi-bility to pay for the damages. The city insurance carrier has denied Wiginton’s claim and suggested he might fi le a claim with his homeowner’s insurance or seek damages

from the person placing the 911 call. Mayor Tucker sug-gested also that Wiginton might fi le in small claims court. So far, Wiginton has refused any of these alterna-tives. He said he would be at the Monday, September 13, meeting of the Mount Ver-non City Council and at the next Board of Works meet-ing as well.

•The board approved a request to waive a weed no-tice for billing at 907 E. Fifth Street, property owned by Andrei Sharygin.

•The board declared sur-plus old gloves and coats at the fi re department and agreed they could now be donated to the Posey County Drug Task Force.

•The board approved the use of the city vehicle and credit card for Danny Moss of the wastewater and sewer department to attend a recer-tifi cation class on October 7.

•Mayor Tucker extended sympathies to Wastewater Superintendent Rodney Giv-ens and his family on the loss of his father, former Waste-

water Superintendent Carl-ton “Tiny” Waller, noted as a great public servant and city employee.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again on Thursday, September 23, 2010, at 4 p.m. in the City Hall Annex.

Diabetic Clinic set for September 21Everyone is cordially invit-

ed to attend a Diabetic Clinic on Tuesday, September 21st at 6 p.m. at the South Gibson Medical Clinic. The guest speaker will be Shon Nelson

BS RPSGT, Sleep Technolo-gist for Gibson General Hos-pital. He will be speaking about Diabetes and Sleep Apnea. There will be a ques-tion/answer section as well as

refreshments and free blood screenings. Call 812-753-4181 if you have any ques-tions concerning the clinic. The clinic is being sponsored by HLS Home Medical.

INGREDIENTS1 (3 pound) fryer (Not broilers or roasting bird), cut • into pieces 2 cups buttermilk • 1 large onion, sliced • 1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, • thyme) or a teaspoon each of the dried herbs.1/2 teaspoon paprika • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper• 2 cups fl our • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper • Salt and pepper • 2 cups grapeseed oil, or other high smoke-point oil such • as canola oil, or peanut oil

DIRECTIONSSoak chicken overnight (at least 8 hours and up to two 1. days) in buttermilk with onions, herbs, paprika, and cay-enne pepper. (Regarding the use of buttermilk, there have been good results from soaking chicken in plain yogurt instead of buttermilk.)Drain in colander, leaving some herbs on chicken. In a 2. large paper or plastic (sturdy) bag, mix fl our with season-ings. Meanwhile, heat 2 cups oil in a large, heavy-bot-tomed skillet (cast iron, stainless steel, or anodized alumi-num - something that can take the heat) on medium high heat until a pinch of fl our starts to sizzle when dropped in the hot oil (but not so hot that the pan is smoking). Re-member when working with hot oil, always have a pan lid close by.Place chicken pieces in bag with fl our and shake until 3. thoroughly coated. Add chicken to hot pan and fry on 1 side for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown, and then use tongs to turn the pieces over and fry for another 10-12 minutes, again until golden brown. Be careful to keep the oil hot enough to fry the chicken, but not so high as it burns the chicken. To do this on our electric stove we have to alternate the settings between high to medium high sev-eral times while we are cooking.Use tongs to remove chicken from pan. Place on a rack 4. over a cookie sheet or broiling pan for the excess oil to drain. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

What are the top fi ve healthiest fruits Expert reveals how eating

the wrong fruits can be worse than eating none at all.

An apple a day just doesn’t cut it anymore, and too many apples could make you fat.

That’s the advice of Iva Young, a nutritional expert who warns that the wrong kinds of fruits can actually do more harm than good.

So, which fruits offer the biggest health boost? Young named the following fruits, all of which are comparatively low in sugar, as her top fi ve:

Raspberries - Raspberries are an excellent source of fi -ber, offering 30 percent of our recommended daily value, 8 grams per serving. Raspber-ries are also a rich source of vitamin C, with about 50 per-cent of our daily value. In ad-dition, they are a rich source of manganese, delivering 60 percent of what we should have each day. Raspberries rank near the top of all fruits for antioxidant strength and contain many anti-disease properties if consumed regu-larly, helping to fi ght against infl ammation, chronic pain, cancer, cardiovascular disease,

diabetes, allergies, age-related cognitive decline and eyesight degeneration associated with aging.

Blackberries - Blackber-ries are notable for their high nutritional contents of dietary fi ber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid, and manganese. Blackberries are well-ranked for having strong antioxidant levels, and they also contain copious amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Kiwi - Kiwi is a rich source of vitamin C and vitamin K, which is a natural blood thin-ner. It’s also a good source of potassium, just slightly less than that of a banana. Potas-sium is one of those nutrients that’s absolutely essential for heart health, yet many people don’t get nearly enough. Kiwi also delivers a mild laxative effect, possibly because of the high level of dietary fi ber.

Strawberries - Strawberries are low in calories compared to many other fruits, and are a good source of fi ber. They are also an excellent source of vitamin C and fl avonoids, promoting lots of antioxidant activity in the body.

Oranges - Oranges are an excellent source of vitamin A and C, along with power-ful antioxidants. Oranges also provide a good source of fi ber when the pulp is consumed. The white pith of the orange also contains fl avonoids, and some doctors are even using extracts from the pith to help fi ght certain types of cancer.

“Sugar is also something that you should keep your eye on, because it affects the health of your teeth and the functioning of your hormones, specifi cally leptin,” she added. “Leptin is the important hor-mone responsible for telling the body that you should stop eating. With excess amounts of sugar in your body, the amount of leptin is diminished, which causes you to overeat. Excess sugar also has been known to cause intestinal issues increas-ing the chances of bloating, which causes your stomach to stick out and look like you have extra fat. That’s how consuming too many sugar-rich fruits can actually make you look fat, and make you feel less healthy than if you didn’t eat any fruits at all.”

Due to not feeling well last Sunday, I did not get the Out ‘N About written so we will try this week. We are glad to see a little cooler weather after the hot days in July, August, and some in September. It is very dry.

Do you know much about Indiana which, I call Southern Indiana “the garden spot of the country.” Indiana is 270 miles long and 140 miles wide. The geographic center of Indiana is located in Marion County, 14 miles North of Indianapolis. Indiana is bordered by Lake Michigan and Michigan in the North, Kentucky in the South, on the East side is Ohio, and Illinois is on the West. Indiana covers 36,420 square miles making it the 38th largest of the 50 states. 35,870 square miles is covered by land and 550 square miles is covered by water. The highest point in Indiana is Hoosier Hill in Franklin Township, it is 12,057 feet above sea level. The lowest point is 320 feet above sea level where the Wa-bash and the Ohio Rivers meet near Mt. Vernon. The region of the state with the most hills is in Southern Indiana.

Elsewhere in the past three weeks, Tuesday August 24, my nephew and niece Dick and Pat Brandenstein from Winchester, TN, were here to visit. They had been to California to their son AJ’s wedding, which they said was very nice. We had a great time visiting together and while they were here they treated me to dinner with them at Patty’s (Harold’s) Restaurant. They always enjoy the delicious food at Patty’s.

August 25, Betty and Bon-nie from Mt. Vernon were here to visit, to do the laundry, and to mow. Ronnie and Bev-erly Ellis stopped by to visit on this same day. I always en-joy them too. August 26, my cousin from Metropolis, IL Bessie Helm called me to tell me her husband Floyd had just got home from the hospital af-ter surgery. He is gradually improving.

Friday, August 27, I drove to New Harmony to the nurs-

ing home and visited with several residents while there. They are always glad to have visitors. Verlin Effi nger had just been taken to the hospital but is back there now and ac-cording to his brother, Tom he is doing better now. We have been friends for many years.

After leaving the nursing home, I went on to Bonnie and Jim Straw’s home in Mt. Vernon where several of our families had dinner together. Then, Saturday, Betty, Bon-nie, and Jim were here to go to the Poseyville town yard sale and to visit me. Zach-ary and Audra were here later to visit. Later in the afternoon, I went to Owens-ville to visit my sister-in-law Lorena Wilder. My daughter Janet called me on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. She is always good to check on me. Bonnie called me Wednesday, September 1 and Janet also called me. Then Janet called me September 2 to tell me that Donavon and their son David Fravel were visiting them. Saturday, September 4, I went to Owensville to visit Lorena and while there, Daryl Wayne, Cathy, Stephanie, and their daughter and son-in-law and their 20 month old son came from Nobelsville to visit Lorena. Lorena’s daughter Janavieve was there also. We all had a great visit together. Both Janet and Judy called me on this day. All four of my daughters called me Monday, September 6.

My cousin, Sue Albin from Evansville came to Poseyville cemetery to decorate her fa-ther’s (Woodrow Roberts) grave and then came to my house for a nice visit. Then, Tuesday, Janet, Bonnie, and Judy all called me and Judy and Betty came here in the evening and we went to the Feed Mill Restaurant for the evening meal, which was de-licious. As we rode around the country side we noticed the beautiful view in the sky just after the sun set. I also got a letter from a friend, Mary John Reid from Duncan, OK. She writes a very interesting letter.

Wednesday, September 8, at about 8:45am I saw the fi re truck, ambulance, and po-lice car at my neighbor Tom Cook’s home. Mrs. Cook fell while going out her front door. She fell on her face and was taken to the hospital. We are hoping for a quick and com-plete recovery. Billy was here for a short time. Also on Wednesday, Steve Butler was here to visit.

Thursday was a nice day and I rode my bicycle for a short time. The lack of energy kept me from riding further. Later in the afternoon, Betty and Jesse Montgomery were here to visit. Friday I talked to Janet in Oklahoma for awhile. She said they have had rain there.

Saturday, September 11, which is the 9th anniversary of the terrible terrorist attack at the twin towers where 3,800 innocent people lost their lives. We pray nothing like that will ever happen again. Thank you to our armed forces for all of the service you do. Also, thank you to our fi re fi ghters and po-lice men who protect us.

This day was also River Days in Mt. Vernon. I enjoyed

seeing so many friends. At 5:30 was the parade which was nice. I also stayed for the fi reworks at 8:00pm at the river front. It was also very good. I drove back home after the fi reworks at 8:30. I slept well after the tiresome day. Sunday morning I was at church at Poseyville Chris-tian. The attendance was low, but we had a great service with Rev. Doris’s sermon and Stay Arhen’s scripture reading and prayer, and the choir lead by Justin Schulmpf with Janie Montgomery at the piano. If you are looking for a place to worship, I urge you to come to Poseyville Christian where you are always welcome.

Remember, the family that prays together stays together.

Poseyville’s gas price as of Sunday 9/12 is $2.69 9/10.

Poseyville’s past three week’s precipitation is Mon-day, August 30th .15.”; Sep-tember 10th .21”; Saturday, September 11th .05.” So the past three week’s total is only .41.”

It’s time to round up the kettles.

Every year near harvest time, the members of the St. Philip Men’s Club gather to prepare and sell their famous burgoo. This year’s sale is Sept. 26, and the reputation of the soupy concoction has spread far and wide.

Burgoo has been simmering annually at St. Philip for 50 years or so. It’s been the pri-mary fund-raiser of the Men’s Club since 1958; before then, it was cooked at the church’s annual summer social.

The church’s men’s club owns a 750 gallon kettle but 20 more kettles are needed to cook the 1200+ gallons of burgoo the club dishes out each year. Farmers used to loan the kettles they used for rendering lard and cooking liver sausage. Now the Men’s Club have all their own kettles which were purchased at vari-ous times.

St. Philip’s burgoo (either BUR-go or bur-GOO, de-pending on who is talking) is composed of chicken and beef, carrots, potatoes, on-ions, cabbage, tomato juice, canned corn, navy beans, but-ter beans, pepper, salt, sugar and allspice. This list of ingre-dients is as much as Ron Folz will divulge.

The exact seasoning and amount of ingredients is secret and Jeff Wildeman is the only person allowed to measure the spices and place them in cloth bags to season the burgoo.

The secret to making good burgoo is making it good. That’s all I’m allowed to tell you,” Wildeman said.

One thing he will say is that the burgoo tastes the same ev-ery year, unlike burgoo made during frontier times, when every meat and vegetable available was thrown into the pot. “We don’t change a thing,” he said.

Most of the meat and vege-tables are bought now, where-as years ago parishioners donated most of the chicken, beef and vegetables.

Each year preparations be-gin on Friday evening. The meat is stewed and the veg-etables are washed, peeled and ground. The guys work through the night. Early Satur-day morning volunteers set up all the kettles and clean them, take the chicken off the bones and grind it and the stewed beef. They then carefully par-cel the ingredients to be added to each of the 21 kettles lined up in the back of the church. The actual cooking begins around 11 p.m. after the meat and vegetables have been added along with the cloth bags containing the spices and the secret ingredient. Burgoo veterans have their jobs down pat. Some grind cabbage and vegetables, some stew the meats and others run the auto-matic potato peeler.

The large kettle is equipped with an automatic stirring de-vice, but it’s an all night vigil with the smaller kettles. It isn’t diffi cult fi nding volunteers because the event has turned into a social affair. There is no discrimination----teenagers, children and friends of club members offer their assis-tance. The volunteers stir until early Sunday morning when

Folz pronounces the burgoo ready for sale.

The burgoo sells fast and is usually gone before noon except for the soup that is held back to be sold in the cafeteria. The Men’s Club would like to make more but they can handle making only so much.

Dan Horstman, publicity chairman for the club, says that this is the sort of project that builds relationships and fellowship and brings about a spirit of cooperation and working together. St. Philip is a close-knit parish with hard working members.

The response to the burgoo has been great with people coming from Kentucky, Il-linois, Tennessee and other places to get the famous St. Philip Burgoo.

To sweeten the day, a raf-fl e will climax the event at 1:30 p.m. The grand prize of $20,000 and 20 other prizes will be given away. The tick-ets are $20 donation for each ticket with only 3,000 tick-ets being sold. You need not be present to win. (License# 119376)

- The sale of burgoo be-gins at 7:30 a.m. Drive thru and carry-out patrons should bring their own containers or one can be purchased for a small fee.

A lunch of burgoo, ham-burgers, pie and drinks is sold in the St. Philip Center during the sale of burgoo outside. Volunteers help in the dining room, too.

Philip is located 6 miles west of Evansville on St. Phil-ip Road.

Fallowfi eld stated the engineering should be completed by the end of the year with construction beginning in the spring and complete before the start of the next school year.

Fallowfi eld explained the route has not been fi nalized yet. The proposed plan is to construct a sidewalk at the school on the south side of Fletchall Street down to Sharp Street. From there, the sidewalk will be constructed on the east side of Sharp Street and continue south before ending near the railroad tracks. Flashing lights to mark the school zone will be installed at the intersec-tions of Sharp and Fletchall Streets and also at Walker and Fletchall Streets. The speed in the school zone is 20 mph. A marked cross-walk will also be painted in front of the school on Fletchall St.

Immediately following the regular meet-ing, a public hearing was held regarding the proposed annexation of the land at the north end of town where the Feed Mill and The First Bank of Carmi are located as well as two acres of land on Indiana Street owned by Jeremy Schipp.

Representatives from both businesses at-tended the public hearing to voice their dis-pleasure about the annexation.

Brent Tharp addressed the council fi rst on behalf of the Feed Mill stating, “It’s a new property, it doesn’t have its feet on the ground yet. We would just like to ask if you could give us a little more time.” Tharp stated that it can take up to fi ve years before most new restaurants begin to see a profi t.

For the record, Baker clarifi ed that if the annexation is approved, taxes will accrue in 2011 and be payable in May and November 2012.

Feed Mill owners Dave and Jane Reising also addressed the council. Jane questioned whether Poseyville benefi tted from any of the sales tax the restaurant must pay. Baker answered that while the town did not benefi t from sales tax, it does receive a small per-centage of the local option income tax. Bak-er stated the county determines the amount each community receives on local option income tax is determined by population. Poseyville receives $3,168 per month.

Jane also pointed out that the Feed Mill employs many local residents and the town benefi ts by having a nice social place for people to gather.

“I just feel a little disappointed that the town couldn’t have waited a little longer be-fore doing this,” she said.

Dave echoed her sentiments adding, “I would like the town to reconsider annexa-tion at this time.”

Jim McDonald spoke to the council on behalf of First Bank. He expressed his ap-preciation for how well the community has embraced the bank.

“We’ve spent a lot of money to improve the looks as people exit the interstate. I just want everyone to keep in mind the invest-ment that has already been made when con-sidering this annexation,” he said.

If the annexation is approved, the Feed Mill property alone will generate an estimat-ed additional $4,867 annually. No fi gures were available for the First Bank or Schipp properties.

Baker stated the board will take all the information into advisement. No offi cial decision will be made until the next meet-ing, Tuesday, October 12, at 4:30 p.m. at the Poseyville Community Center.

it was not budgeted. For a single health plan, the district’s premium costs will rise from $344 a month to $374, just be-low the monthly insurance cap of $375. Evans noted that in spite of the rate increase, premiums are still lower than they were fi ve years ago.

School Board hopeful Kim Jackson questioned if this in-crease meant a raise for the district’s educators. Evans ex-plained that teachers were still honoring their one-half per-cent pay decrease and would see an increase in premiums as well under the approved plans. Only those employees enrolling in the single base health plan will be completely covered by the school district. Teachers with a family base health plan will be paying an additional $75 per month for the plan beginning October 1.

The particulars of the insurance plans follow. In the sec-ond year of a three-year contract, Welborn Health Plans will provide health insurance at a 7.91 percent increase in pre-mium with revised plan benefi ts. Those revisions include an approximately $5 increase in copay for doctor’s offi ce visits and prescriptions. Evans noted the increase saved employees more than 2 percent in even higher premiums. Additional revisions comply with the national healthcare re-form: no lifetime maximum of benefi ts and the coverage of dependents until age 26.

Dental insurance will continue with HRI Dental on a one-year renewable contract with a 6 percent increase in pre-mium. Again, Evans pointed out in spite of the increase, in-surance premiums remain lower than they were a few years ago.

There was no increase in premium for life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance and in long-term dis-ability insurance.

Employees may still opt to “buy up” from a $500 to a $100 deductible and to receive family coverage, but they will pick up the increase in costs. The school district’s insurance com-mittee recommended the insurance plans be adopted. That committee, Evans said, is composed of representatives from all employee groups, certifi ed and non-certifi ed—for exam-ple, teachers and teacher’s aides, secretaries and administra-tion, retirees and bus drivers.

Evans underscored that the state insurance plan has been reviewed for the past several years, but it is much higher than plans adopted—this year, over 60 percent higher—and offers lesser benefi ts.

In other business:•The board held public hearing regarding the Capital Proj-

ects Fund Plan and the Bus Replacement Plan. No public comments were forthcoming. The plans will be adopted at the Monday, September 20, school board meeting.

•The board approved payment of vouchers by the Mount Vernon of Posey County Multi-School Building Corporation in the amount of $22,538.20. Kopatich noted the vouchers covered sidewalks at Farmersville and West, a drain at West and light sensors at Farmersville and West.

•The board adopted a resolution for the use of the Capi-tal Projects Fund emergency allocation to cover additional costs in the amount of $6,000 for repair to the Mount Vernon Junior High School chiller. It was noted that the chiller had far outlasted its warranty since it was the original placed in the junior high at its construction. As a result, insurance does not cover the repair.

•The board confi rmed the employment of Curtis McCarty as a school district bus driver and of Deborah Claxton, Lori Holder and Jennifer Ritzert as cafeteria workers. In addition, the board accepted the resignation of Becky DeKemper for one-half sponsorship of the pom pom squad and of Donald Mercer as a school district bus driver—both effective im-mediately. Finally, under personnel items, the board granted a nonpaid leave of absence, commencing the afternoon of November 4 through December 31, 2010, to Sandy Still-wagoner at the junior high.

•The board granted permission to the Mount Vernon High School Jazz Band to perform at the rededication of the Imagination Station on Sunday, September 26, 2010, at the Alexandrian Public Library.

Schenk told commissioners that it would take about $40,000 to begin to correct the problem and the grant for which the county would apply is a 10 percent matching grant.

Commissioners gave their OK to begin the grant applica-tion with the county providing the 10 percent match. Schenk pointed out that the grant is a competitive grant and there are no assurances that the funds will be granted but this is the fi rst step in the right direction.

While one road is getting individual attention, it was an-nounced that the State has indicated that it will be eliminating the jobs at the toll booth on Indiana Route 62 at the bridge crossing into Illinois. The workers will be replaced by an un-manned toll booth. The change will begin on Sept. 21 at 9 a.m. with no remaining employees after the fi rst of the year.

In other business:•After opening fi ve bids for the replacement of bridge RN-

By Pam RobinsonThings got a little squirrely at

West Elementary School this past Friday, September 10. West mom Amber Doty was attacked by a squirrel while she waited under-neath the front awning to enter the school and drop off papers for her second-grade son Caleb.

Doty said as she waited, two women came out of the front doors and said, “Look at the squirrel.” When Doty turned to look, the squirrel jumped on her

right ankle and started biting and scratching her. As soon as she kicked the squirrel off her leg, the women pulled Doty inside the doors to safety. The squirrel continued in pursuit of his victim and leaped on the outside door handles.

Offi ce personnel attended to Doty, who was sent to the county health nurse and referred to a doc-tor. Doty’s puncture wounds and scratches have been treated with antibiotics and a topical cream.

No stitches were required.Doty reported that animal con-

trol offi cer Terry Penn and West Principal Paul Swanson captured the squirrel. She said the animal was being sent to the lab yester-day to determine if it had rabies. If the squirrel was rabid, Doty

will need to take a series of shots for treatment. She admitted she was just trying not to think about that scenario.

“My leg is a little sore,” Doty commented on Sunday night. “I’m just very glad this didn’t happen to a child.”

Friday, September 17, 2010, begins the national celebration of Constitution Week. The weeklong com-memoration of America’s most important document

is one of our country’s least known offi cial observances. Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout histo-ry to maintain their liberties

and freedom, and to ensure those unalienable rights to every American.

The tradition of celebrat-ing the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the Ameri-can Revolution (DAR). In 1955, the Daughters peti-tioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the obser-vance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later ad-opted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on August 2, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisen-hower. The aims of the cel-ebration are to (1) emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; (2) inform the people that the Constitu-tion is the basis for Ameri-ca’s great heritage and the foundation for our way of

life; and (3) encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in Septem-ber 1787.

The United States of America functions as a Re-public under the Constitu-tion, which is the oldest doc-ument still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalien-able right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Con-stitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world.

"We must remember and teach that those who wrote the Constitution believed that no government can cre-ate freedom, but that govern-ment must guard freedom rather than encroach upon

the freedoms of its people" stated Merry Ann T. Wright, President General of the DAR. "The Constitution by itself cannot guarantee lib-erty. A nation’s people can remain free only by being responsible citizens who are willing to learn about the rights of each arm of govern-ment and require that each is accountable for its own func-tion. Therefore, Constitution Week is the perfect oppor-tunity to read and study this great document which is the safeguard of our American liberties. We encourage all citizens across the country to take time this week to guard that which is committed to us by our forefathers... our freedom."

DAR has served America for 120 years as its foremost cheerleader. In 1928, the Daughters began work on a bu i ld ing

as a memorial to the Con-stitution. John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Me-morial, was commissioned to design the performing arts center, known as DAR Con-stitution Hall. Today, DAR Constitution Hall is the only structure erected in tribute to the Constitution of the Unit-ed States of America.

Known as the largest women’s patriotic organiza-tion in the world, DAR has over 165,000 members with approximately 3,000 chap-ters in all 50 states and 11 foreign countries. The DAR has long promoted patriotism through commemorative cel-ebrations, memorials, schol-arships and activities for children, and programs for new immigrants.

America celebrates United States Constitution

The United Way of Posey County will start its 2010 Campaign with a kick-off breakfast Thursday, September 16th at 8:00 A.M. at the Alexandrian Public Library, 115 West Fifth Street, Mount Vernon, Indiana. The breakfast is sponsored by Old National Bank.

At the kick-off, Leigh Ann Latshaw, Mount Vernon High School teacher and NEA Presi-dent, will be the featured speaker.

This year, St. Philip Catholic School is one of the Pacesetters for the United Way cam-paign. They will run their United Way cam-paign during August and results are announced at the United Way of Posey County campaign kick-off on September 16. Their early support and enthusiasm will get this year’s campaign off to a good start.

St. Philip Catholic School is located about one mile from the Posey/Vanderburgh County Line in Posey County. It is a parochial school of about 230 students in grades pre-school through 8. The school is nestled in the heart

of the St. Philip Community and is home to many people, old and young, both for religious purposes and social purposes. They have many gatherings and events that bring the commu-nity together and ensure a sense of belonging and acceptance to everyone.

St. Philip is excited to be a Pacesetter for the United Way Campaign again this year, and hopes that their contributions will support the foundation and help show their commitment to helping others in and around our community.

For the fi rst time ever, this year six Posey County schools will be Pacesetters in the Unit-ed Way of Posey County campaign. Keith Spurgeon, campaign chairman, said “We are proud of our schools in Posey County, and we are excited about their community involve-ment as Pacesetters in our United Way cam-paign.”

Please call the United Way at 838-3637 or email to uwposey@sbcglobal.net for more in-formation, or to make a reservation.

“September 8, 2010 marks the groundbreaking on a new clinic for Owensville, Indiana that will signifi cantly improve the scope of healthcare that is offered in this community”, according to Tom O’Niones, President and Owner of Tran-scendent Healthcare, whose Owensville health care facil-ity will be the host for the new clinic.

Owensville, which has not had a physician practice in the community since the passing of long-time resident physi-cian, Dr. Dickenson, has had to turn to neighboring commu-nities for many of the health care services that many towns may take for granted. With the completion of its new fa-cility late this year, being built as an addition to Transcendent Healthcare of Owensville on Highway 165 West, that will no longer be the case.

O’Niones had originally planned on adding a 2,000 square foot addition to the facility’s current rehabilita-tion space for the physical, and occupational therapy and speech-language pathology services that are provided to the residents there. However, after consulting with Owens-ville community leaders and colleagues in the industry, the plan has evolved into a full service clinic offering those same therapies, on an outpatient basis to the com-munity at large. To help meet the primary care needs of the community, the clinic will also staff a nurse practitioner under the professional super-vision of one or more licensed physicians practicing within the communities which border Owensville.

Transcendent Healthcare of Owensville is no stranger to rehabilitation services. The facility currently provides in excess of 25 treatments, in the three aforementioned dis-ciplines, each day to its resi-dents. Expanding the services on an outpatient basis is new to Owensville and is usually only attempted in much larger

communities. Meanwhile, the presence of

the nurse practitioner, recog-nized by licensure as a mid-level provider with the author-ity to prescribe medicine and authorize treatment, will mean that residents, both of the fa-cility and of the community at large, will ultimately stay in town for many of these servic-es. The presence of the prac-titioner allows the services to be provided more economi-cally, while making sure that patients are afforded the over-sight of a physician for more-complex clinical decisions.

“After meeting with physi-cians and leaders in our com-munity,” O’Niones added, “it became apparent to me that if health care services are going to grow here in Owensville, we are going to have to do our part. We already provide healthcare services in this community- seven days a

week, 24 hours a day.”The medical community

has embraced the project and several physicians have stepped forward to help guide and plan for the clinic. Tran-scendent of Owensville Medi-cal Director, Quentin Emer-son, M.D., whose offi ce is in nearby Ft. Branch, is a long-time Owensville resident. Dr. Emerson has been champion-ing the need for a mid-level practitioner in Owensville for quite some time.

Dr. Bruce Brink, Jr., D.O. is a third generation physi-cian in nearby Princeton, who currently utilizes nurse practitioners in his own practice and at Tulip Tree, a community-based clinic in Ft. Branch where he serves as Medical Director. According to O’Niones, “Both Dr. Brink and Dr. Emerson have been instrumental in helping us to make this a reality.”

In his book, The Ox-Bow Incident, Walter Clark wrote about lynch mob motiva-tion:

“Why are we riding up here, twenty-eight of us, when every one of us would rather be doing something else?

….We’re doing it because

we’re in the pack, because we’re afraid not to be in the pack. We don’t dare show our pack weakness; we don’t dare resist the pack.”

Signet Classics p. 106Clark was explaining why

people who did not want to lynch someone often ended up being part of a lynch mob. Persons who would never resort to murder on their own may be unable to resist group murder.

In his work, The Jungle, Rudyard Kipling captures the essence of this dilem-ma:

“The strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack.”

People who believe in justice and are ashamed of group violence are often powerless to resist the force of a lynch mob. The irony is that often every member of

such vigilante groups would rather let the law handle the situation. This is so even

though we frequently dis-agree with or are dissatisfi ed with the legal system.

My guess is that the Posey County lynch mob of October 1878 that murdered seven Negro men and the Posey County lynch mob of October 1882 that crushed the skull of Hume Redman were made up of otherwise normal people who were too weak to resist public opinion.

Of course, the most inter-esting question for each of us is: How would we act in a similar situation? What if we were in Nazi Germany in the 1940’s or in Zionist Is-rael today? Would we resist wrongs or accede to them?

It is not diffi cult to con-demn the actions of others from a safe distance. But would we have the strength of character to oppose our

friends and neighbors who may be caught up in the frenzy of prejudice, igno-rance and hatred? I know of at least one local person who has done so.

When I read Mt. Vernon resident Sam Blankenship’s thoughtful and courageous letter to the editor about the “Ground-Zero Mosque”, I thought of the mob mental-ity from 1878 and 1882.

As Mr. Blankenship said in his letter of August 25, 2010:

“Some urge that the deaths at the Twin Towers call for a suspension of the Constitution. I say that the deaths at the Twin Towers related to the sacrifi ces of our soldiers and their fami-lies demand that we renew our commitment to the ide-als that both built the Twin Towers and inspired the sacrifi ces endured by our country.”

As October 2010 nears, the events of October 1878 and October 1882 seem al-most as fresh as those of today. We may wish to look more closely at the actions of our ancestors and our-selves in the light of the hysteria of both times.

Sweet transition from the heat, from the work, from the hard, rough edges of life. On we go now to autumn, to black, lacy leaves and twigs standing out against an or-ange sky. The mornings now have that coolness, that chill that tells us we once again have made it through the heat and toil and can sit back now and then and refl ect on things.

We can think now of family, of children growing and learning. We can think of loved ones growing old and feeble, but even more beloved as we realize what treasures they are to us.

We can think back on childhood memories of lazy mornings in church, when the droning kept us in con-stant danger of sleep, of the smell of coffee, of the taste of purloined doughnuts and the sweet frosting on them.

We can think back to the fi res of spring, when we found that love is not only terrible, but terribly excit-ing, too. We can refl ect on moments so sacred they live only within our souls and are never expressed, because no one is good enough to put

the right words to them.We look at red barns and

horses starting to shag up

for winter. We think of the woods, and the deer, and the creeks running pure clear and cold with fi sh and quiet. The evenings now, the silent fall evenings when we see the fi rst star come out right over the town where it has always been and we once again ask ourselves if it has always been this way and do we make a difference, or

is this simply a chance for our souls to slide through a beautiful time known as life.

We settle down now to an earlier bed time, to a later getting up time, to savoring the heat of the morning cof-fee as well as the smell and the taste. We look around, now that the fever of sum-mer work has abated, and we notice people and pets and neighbors that are pre-cious to us, and we give a little smile and nod, which means, “I love you, too.”

According to the recent Manpower Inc. sur-vey of 35,000 employers, skilled trades posi-tions are the hardest to fi ll despite an urgent need, and the company's 2010 Talent Shortage Survey named the U.S as one of the countries where employers ranked skilled trades as their No. 1 or No. 2 hiring challenge. According to the Department of Labor Statistics the ma-chining industries are expected to decline by 3% over the next decade but skilled machin-ists are retiring at a rate that far exceeds any downturn in business the industry may experi-ence. The net result is there is a steady need for machinists to fi ll the openings left by the retirees and not enough warm bodies to fi ll these job openings.

"Machinist jobs in the blue collar indus-tries earn the same money as middle manag-ers with a bachelor degree in the white collar industries, but they do it without a four year degree" according to Julia Gangloff, CEO of MachinistJobSite.com. "The road to becom-ing a skilled trades person in the machining industry used to strictly be through an appren-ticeship program but is now just as likely to take the path of a trade school." Some com-panies prefer to hire machinists that have trained through their in-house apprenticeship programs. These programs are registered with the US Department of Labor and a list is avail-able through their website. Trade schools of-fer both certifi cate programs and Associate in Applied Science degrees in Machining trades. Entry level CNC machine operators may need

only a couple of weeks of on-the-job training to reach profi ciency while set-up operators and cnc programmers may need experience and formal training to write or modify pro-grams. "The good news is that an employer may want to invest in an employee's future by paying for their education once they get a foot in the door and start adding value to the bot-tom line because it's a win-win situation for everyone. "

"If the unemployed and underemployed are unsure about a job as a machinist or cnc pro-grammer they should keep in mind the blue collar industries are where robotics and lasers came into everyday use.

It's not their granddaddy's dirty, smoke choked factory anymore," Ms. Gangloff ad-vised. "Check it out. It could be the most lu-crative job move they make."

A link to the Depart of Labor's list of Ap-prenticeship Employers by State and County is available on the MachinistJobSite.com website, along with salary information by area and job listings.

Julia Gangloff is CEO of MachinistJobSite.com, an online jobsite dedicated to bringing HR and Recruiting services to small and medi-um manufacturers in the Machining Industries and the Workforce that keeps them functional. MachinistJobSite.com is part of the BlueCol-larJobs.com network, serving the recruiting needs of the manufacturing and construction industries since 1999.

City of Mount Vernon Proclamation

Even birds survive on a wing and a prayer sometimes. One injured bird, a turkey vul-ture, managed with one good wing to land on the front porch of my friends Jessica and Hugh Thompson, situat-ed on Church Street in New Harmony. As my editor Dave Pearce notes each week, the truth is stranger than fi ction, and Jessica testifi es this bird landing ranks up there as the strangest thing she’s ever seen.

First of all, how does a wounded buzzard end up on a front porch in New Harmony? Jessica fi gures this tough ole bird she named Veronica likely got hit by a car and hobbled for several miles. Veronica alerted Jessica and Hugh to her presence by rapping on the front glass. When they spotted her, she was momentarily frightened and moved to their

next door neighbor’s front porch and rapped her head on his glass. Getting no answer,

she moved toward another neighbor’s home, where Hugh contained her in a large outdoor rubber trash can secured with a wire lid held down by a rock. The rock turned out too light to hold Veronica. After a series of sightings, Hugh fi nally

contained Veronica in the trash can again, this time securing the wire with a heavier rock. He wanted to make sure Veronica kept at least one wing intact.

Once they saved Veronica, the Thomp-sons were then faced with another pressing question. What do you do to help a wounded buzzard that shows up on your front porch? Raptors like Veronica are protected birds, so Jessica and Hugh called the local offi ce

of the Department of Natural Resources at Harmonie State Park. They were referred to Conservation Offi cer Paul Axton. From Axton, Jessica and Hugh learned a bit about the amazing work of wildlife rehabbers.

Fortunately, for the sake of the animals and the humans involved, not just anybody can be a wildlife rehabber. When Axton re-ceives a call about a wounded animal, he himself picks up the animal and fi rst delivers it to Highland Veterinary Clinic in Evans-ville, a federally licensed rehab clinic, for an assessment of the animal’s condition. Once the exam is complete, a federally licensed wildlife rehabber nurses the animal back to full health. These volunteers must possess the expertise to qualify for the license per-mitting them to participate in wildlife reha-bilitation. They must be screened by author-ities and document their qualifi cations.

When I talked with Axton, he directed me

to the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife website for a listing of the wildlife rehab-bers in the area. It turns out Posey County has no one licensed as a wildlife rehabber to date. Vanderburgh County has only three wildlife rehabbers. Axton says it’s always good to fi nd more qualifi ed people to assist with wildlife rehabilitation.

The same day Axton picked up Veronica from the Thompsons, he had already rescued an injured red-tailed hawk. It’s remarkable to count on licensed individuals with the ex-pertise and patience to work with wounded animals. The wildlife rehabbers are unsung heroes, deserving our thanks for the work they do in helping animals free of charge. After all, a turkey vulture might just end up on our own front porch one day. Jessica and Hugh Thompson can vouch their prayers were answered when Veronica moved to the animal hospital.

Flying away on a wing and a prayer takes new meaning

Chili Cookers wanted for Parks Board fundraiser in New HarmonyNew Harmony Parks,

Recreation and Tree Board is signing up teams to compete in its Chili Cook-Off and Arbor Day celebration hosted Sat-urday afternoon, Octo-ber 16, in Murphy Park. The afternoon-to-evening event is an extension of the town’s annual Arbor Day gathering with two added perks: Arbor Day is now a town-wide fall party and a way to gen-erate funds for parks and tree-related projects in New Harmony.

The Board is seek-ing chili chefs who are willing to cook for a good cause and bragging

rights. Rules for entering the inaugural competition are simple: teams need at least two people with a spirited team name, and need to prepare at least fi ve gallons of chili. The defi nition of chili is broad and all conceivable vari-eties are acceptable.

To register for one of the competition slots, teams should complete the Chili Cook-Off form – available at New Har-mony town hall -- and return it by Friday, Sep-tember 24.

For the event, Chili teams will be set up Sat-urday afternoon at 2 p.m. in designated cook-sites

near the Murphy Park shelter, where they will have three hours to cook their best kettle of “any-thing goes” chili. At fi ve p.m., the public is in-vited for the offi cial chili taste-and-vote. Taste tick-ets will be sold two for a dollar, and the public will choose the winner with their taste buds and tickets. “People’s choice champs” will be award-ed fabulous prizes and a spirit stick will go to the cook team with the best theme.

While the chili sim-mers, the town is invited to join the annual Arbor Day celebration being

held in Murphy Park, beginning at 3 p.m. at the shelter. With the as-sistance of the local Boy Scout Troupe No. 386, a short program will in-clude announcements of the New Harmony School Arbor Day art competi-tion winners, a renewal of New Harmony’s offi cial Tree City designation, and the 2010 Arbor Day tree-planting. This year’s Arbor Day tree -- and the art contest theme -- is the red maple.

A young red maple, chosen from the growing stock in New Harmony’s Street RELeaf tree nurs-ery, will replace an old

Murphy Park maple lost to disease. The tree was a late-fall 2009 donation to New Harmony’s just-established tree nursery. It thrived during the nurs-ery’s fi rst year, and will be the fi rst tree transplanted into town. Among many other donors and volun-teers, the Parks Board thanks Sally Roth for the gift of this tree.

A Chili Cook-Off in the park during the Arbor Day celebration came up as the best way to showcase one of the town’s great rec-reational spots. It’s also a fun way to fi nancially support a beautiful tree canopy and great parks

in New Harmony. Sand-wiches, chips, drinks, desserts and chili-fi xings will be sold by the Parks Board, and live local music and a bon-fi re are planned.

New Harmony Ar-bor Day Celebration in Murphy Park Schedule:

Saturday, October 162 p.m. Chili Cook-Off

teams set up3 p.m. Arbor Day pro-

gram in Murphy Park Shelter

5 p.m. Public chili-tast-ing, live music and games

To register as a cook team, visit New Harmony town hall before Septem-ber 24.

Kunstfest 2010 Information Continued...

Enrollment continues to climb at USINew Harmony School Board reportThe University of Southern Indiana

reports another record enrollment as of Friday, September 3, at the end of the 2010 fall registration. This year's count is 10,702, the largest enrollment ever for the University. Last year's en-rollment reached 10,516.

USI continues to attract transfer students and retain current students, showing increased numbers among the upper classes. The sophomore count is 2,023--155 more than last year, 1,894 juniors, 219 more, and 2,244 seniors, 69 more. The majority of transfer students are coming from state-wide Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University. Ivy Tech Com-munity College transfers reached 163 while 87 transfers are coming from Vincennes University.

The fi rst-year class count is 2,098, a slight increase over last year's fi rst-year total. Graduate students increased to 259.

"In talking to students and parents, it's clear the enthusiasm for being a part of the University community is high," said Dr. Ronald S. Rochon, pro-vost. "Retention and graduation rates

are improving, and USI students have a defi nitive understanding of what they want from their educational experi-ence."

Rochon, who is new to the provost post this year, met many parents during Welcome Week activities. "The legacy of USI is building," Rochon said. "Par-ents proudly said this is my second or third child to attend USI. Families are seeing the dedication USI has to help-ing students and USI's commitment to provide expertise and leadership for is-sues impacting the region."

First-year students are better pre-pared with more than 10 percent ranked in the top 10 percent of the se-nior class and 32 percent ranked in the top 25 percent of the high school class. More than 64 percent of the freshmen live on campus.

This fall, a majority of students or 8,381 are full-time, taking 12 or more credit hours. The female-to-male ration continues to be about 60-40, though the rate of increase of male students out-paced the increase in female students.

USI students are more ethnically di-verse. The number of African Ameri-

cans who enrolled increased to 585 and the number of Hispanics who enrolled increased to 181. Most of the students are under 25 years of age, but 24 per-cent are over 25 years of age. The num-ber of international students increased to 196 representing 67 countries.

Students hail from throughout In-diana, with Vanderburgh County, the home county of USI, having the high-est number of students. The contigu-ous counties of Posey, Warrick, and Gibson, follow close behind. Students are from 90 Indiana counties and 41 other states.

Residence Life at USI offers apart-ments and residence halls for 3,000 students. The staff reports housing is at 96 percent occupancy. The University secured supplemental housing from a commercial apartment complex to meet demand.

Enrollment through the years2010 10,7022005 10,0042000 9,012The ten-year enrollment increase

from fall 2000 to fall 2010 is nearly nineteen percent.

Within 30 minutes, the New Harmony School Board wrapped up its Thurs-day, September 9, meeting. First on the docket was ap-proval of the 2011 budget and all related documents. A bit later, two votes approved personnel matters under consideration. First, the board accepted the resigna-tion of Emily Pruitt as junior high volleyball coach and of Jerry Williams as baseball coach. With the same vote, the board approved 10 extra hours for Carrie Parmenter, hired E. Norman Wynn as junior varsity basketball coach and approved Dean-na DeVoy as grade school volleyball volunteer. In a separate vote, the board ap-proved fi ve extra hours for Shelly Eagan with board member Jim Eagan abstain-ing from the vote.

Story and photo by Valerie Werkmeis-ter

Moms often wear many hats. Mother, wife, maid, nurse, chauffeur, cheerleader (for those with kids in sports or band) and the list could go on and on. For Amy Ste-phens, her collection of hats also includes talented author and professional photogra-pher.

Many North Posey friends have had their families’ or children’s picture taken by Stephens, a Gibson Southern High School graduate who grew up in the Poseyville area. Now, she has her own Poseyville stu-dio and will hold a grand opening celebra-tion during Poseyville’s Autumnfest week-end on Saturday, September 25.

Although she has held the keys to her new studio location since mid-May, she had to delay plans to offi cially open after her mom, Vicki Dillon, suffered a stroke May 18. Stephens normally boasts a fast turn-around time on her fi nished product, but it was diffi cult to meet her own strict deadline schedule during the time of her mother’s illness.

“I appreciated the patience from my loy-al customers, because things just weren’t being done in my normal timeframe,” she said.

Stephens has been taking pictures with her aunt, Bobbi Ziliak, in Haubstadt studio since 2003. Last December, they decided to split and Stephens began the quest of looking for her own place.

The building she has acquired for her

studio at 32 N. Locust Street, was recently Leeanna Wassmer’s Hair and Tanning Salon. When Leeanna retired in March, Stephens made her move to open her own studio. Coincidentally, she believes the building was once a photography studio before.

Stephens really got her start in photog-raphy by the help of her friend, Jude Wil-liams.

“I have always loved photography and have always taken pictures. But, in 2001, I began helping Jude who shot all the baby pictures at St. Mary’s,” she says.

Williams is the photographer who took the newborn photos to a new level by in-troducing creative props such as angel wings while taking pictures.

Stephens’ own talent and “photogra-pher’s eye” comes natural. She has taught herself the fi ner points of photography, lighting and the computer photo editing program, Photoshop. Sometimes, the best teacher is life experience and practice. She enjoys photographing babies and children and also does senior portraits, maternity and family portraits.

Although she has the new studio, she has many favorite spots in New Harmony where she loves to photograph. For senior portraits, she often goes to the individual’s farm or home to make it more personal-ized. She has even used her own garden as a backdrop for pictures.

It’s those life experiences taken from her own family that has helped foster her talent

and creativity. In 2006, she wrote a book entitled, “It’s Gonna Be a Great Day,” spe-cifi cally for her middle daughter, Rachel.

“At the time, she was struggling with separation anxiety while going to school. I tried several techniques and ultimately just kept encouraging her by positive thinking and telling her that she was go-ing to have a great day,” Stephens said.

Thus, the idea for the book was born. In addition to photography, she has always loved to write. She researched online to fi nd a pub-lisher and eventually published the book through Author House. She donated several copies of the book to CJ’s Bus and the book is also sold at Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. She was recently contacted with the exciting news that Borders Book Stores is also carrying her book. Fans will be treated to more books as she has already penned her second book and has plans to work on a third as well. Stephens is often invited to read her book in classrooms, which she also enjoys.

Stephens and husband of 16 years, Mark, have two other daughters, Tessa and Meredith. The studio is close to their home and she enjoys the ability to work on photo editing and scheduling appointments from home. The

studio is open by appointment only at 874-2140. The open house will be held from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. She welcomes everyone to stop by for refreshments and enter for a chance to win photo packages. Samples of her work can be viewed on Facebook by searching for Amy Stephens Photography.

By Steve JoosJason Stemple is the main cog

in the wheel for the Mount Vernon football team, but each week, it seems as if there’s always someone different to help him get the Wild-cats a win, or at least try to.

Aaron Choate and Tim Davis were the sidekicks of the week Friday night at Vincennes, Choate playing one of his strongest defen-sive games of the seasons and Davis piling up a combined total of 136 yards on the ground and through the air as the Wildcats snapped back from a tough loss to Mount Carmel by traveling to Vincennes and smacking the Alices 35-14 for their fi rst Big Eight Conference win of the season.

“All in all, we played pretty well,” coach Paul Maier said. “Had we stuck with our gameplan and just kept throwing the ball, we could have put more points on the board, but it’s also important to get the younger kids in there and let them gain some experience, since they’re our future.”

The Cats took advantage of some Vincennes miscues to start deep in the Alices’ territory and strike for 21 second-quarter points enroute to a 28-0 halftime lead. While the de-fense bent at times, it didn’t break.

But did it ever bend.Vincennes took the opening

kickoff and held the ball for the fi rst eight minutes of the game, only to have the drive stall out on the Mount Vernon 23-yard line, while the Cats needed roughly half that among of time to put four touchdowns on the scoreboard.

The Wildcats needed just 32 plays to put those points on the board, about half their normal ef-fort, Maier explained, while they only racked up 297 yards in total offense.

Stemple had his usual night, completing 10 of 14 passes for 180 yards and four touchdowns, with Davis hauling in fi ve of those pass-es for 101 yards and a touchdown, while getting the team’s only rush-ing score and picking up 35 yards on the ground.

Davis took a Stemple pass 36 yards for a clutch fi rst down on the Cats’ initial drive of the night, a 77-yard march that culminated with Davis’ eight-yard run for the only score of the night. The fi rst of fi ve Zac Deig extra point kicks made the score 7-0 Wildcats with 1:36 left in the fi rst quarter.

In the second chapter, the Wild-cats got plenty of breaks which led to plenty of points. First, Cho-ate blocked a punt on the Alices’ 15-yard line with 9:49 to go in the quarter. Seven seconds later, Stem-ple found Will Terbeck in the end zone. One play, six points, the Deig extra point made it 14-0 Wildcats.

On Vincennes’ next drive, Logan Pace picked off a pass and got it back to the Mount Vernon 41-yard line. Davis caught two of three re-ceptions as the Cats moved the ball to Vincennes’ four, only to be whis-tled for holding on fi rst and goal. The infraction moved them back to the 19.

No problem, as Stemple promptly connected with Aaron Straub for six points and a 21-0 Wildcat bulge.

When Deig wasn’t kicking extra points, he was burying Vincennes deep in their own territory on kick-offs. Touchbacks were the order of the day on his fi rst three kick-offs and the Alices could only get the fourth out to their 10-yard line. After the Wildcat defense stopped them on that possession, Terbeck brought the punt back to Vincennes’ 27-yard line and on the fi rst play from scrimmage, it was Stemple

to Davis for what proved to be the last score of the fi rst half (a 55-yard fi eld goal try by Deig was short at the second quarter ended).

Straub hauled in a fi ve-yard scor-ing pass from Stemple with 8:06 to go in the third quarter and Deig’s kick closed out the offense for Mount Vernon.

In spite of the Wildcats’ strong performance overall, Maier still saw some reasons for concern.

For openers, the team was whis-tled nine times for 87 yards worth of penalties and the defense some-times gave up more yardage than they should have. The coach was concerned about the team’s ap-proach to the game prior to the con-test and was happy with the win, but didn’t feel the team was all that sharp at times.

“We killed ourselves (with penal-ties),” Maier said. “That just showed lack of mental focus, a lack of being ready to go, ready to play.”

But Maier was glad to get a win, especially after a tough loss and es-pecially since that victory gave the Cats a 1-1 Big Eight Conference record.

Maier thought that the Cats gave up too much defensively and that the reserves could have done better against the Alices later in the game.

Vincennes fi nally got on the board with eight seconds left in the third quarter when Jake Stone hauled in a 25-yard pass from Gun-nar Hutchison. They scored again in the fourth quarter on a four-yard run by Bradeon Hardin with 1:45 left in the game.

The coach was not happy with Vincennes ability to catch Mount Vernon off guard at times on the play action pass and added that the team still has plenty to work on, es-pecially the reserves.

But they got the win, nailing it

down very quickly.CATS 35, ALICES 14

Vikings are ‘Messmerized’ by Southridge, fall 20-6By Dave Pearce

About 10 seconds into Friday night’s big Pocket Athletic Conference football game at North Posey, Viking fans could sense that this was not going to be a very good night for the home team.

The North Posey-Southridge game began at 6:30 because of the time difference and the travel difference. But it was evi-dent from the start, at least one team was ready to play… and it didn’t appear to be the Vikings.

The opening kick-off was taken inside the 10 and up the heart of the North Posey defense all the way to near the North Posey 20, a 67-yard return. Then, on the fi rst play from scrim-mage, Raider quarterback Elliot Prusz hit Brandon Gasser for 23 yards and the score. Twenty seconds into the game, the Vi-kings were behind 6-0. Things never really improved signifi -cantly, despite the fact that the Vikings earned opportunities. But it seemed that each of the opportunities was squandered.

“I hope we wake up a little bit because I think we are a lot better than what we are playing,” Viking skipper Joe Gen-gelbach said following the disappointing loss. “Like I have have told the kids the last two weeks. We need to eliminate a lot of mistakes and have some people to step up and take the bull by the horns out on the fi eld for us and help us through some of the rough times. At times we play well and then there are times where we just seem like we are completely in an-other world.”

Friday night must have been one of those times.The Vikings were held to a mere 50 yards on the ground but

were able to gain 186 yards through the air on 15-of-23 pass-ing by junior quarterback Colton Motz. But it seemed each time the Vikings appeared poised to make a move, a critical mistake would cost them another opportunity.

But early on, there were few opportunities.After going three-and-out on their fi rst possession, the

Raiders put the ball on the ground and seemed content to run through, around, and over the Viking defense. With 4:59 re-maining in the fi rst quarter, Adam Messmer ran up the gut for fi ve yards and the score and the Raiders led 12-0. The 2-point conversion was good and the Raiders led 14-0.

On the ensuing kick-off Conner Cain attempted to fi eld the kick and mishandled it. He was, however, able to fall on the ball and the Vikings took over on the 33.

Two plays later, the Vikings were intercepted on the 42. The North Posey defense, led by Cameron Calvert, fi nally stepped up and with 10:29 remaining in the second period, the Vikings took over on downs after Calvert sacked the quarterback on a fourth-and-6 on the Viking 26.

For a minute it appeared North Posey was ready to play. Motz completed a pass to Jared Reidford and a pass interfer-ence moved the ball to the 48. Wes Harness had runs of fi ve yards and four yards before Calvert followed a line surge for the fi rst down.

Motz then hit Jourdan Cox on the 25 and it appeared the Vikings were in business.

But the Raider defense stepped up. The Vikings ran three plays for a total of three yards and on fourth-and seven at the 22, Motz was sacked and the Raiders took over with 7:40 remaining in the half.

“We had a good week of practice and I really thought we were ready to play,” Gengelbach said. “We practiced hard and I thought we had a good mental attitude before the game. That early score can be a defl ator but we have talked about that. Teams are going to make plays like that and you have to work your way through them. You have to let that one go and step it up and make some things happen for you. We let them have the ball way too much in the fi rst half. They got out of some third-and-long situations.”

The Raiders were content to keep the ball on the ground and ate up most of the remainder of the half. Before they went to the locker room, however, the Raiders converted on a third-and-10 right up the middle with 1:05 remaining. It took only one play for Messmer to score again and the Raiders held a 20-0 half-time lead after the 2-point conversion failed.

One of the highlights of the night and half-time was when long-time Viking supporter Jean Fehribach won the $310 half-pot and donated $200 of it back to the program.

The Vikings failed to get back into the game after taking the second half kick-off out to the 42. Calvert gained fi ve and Motz hit Harness at the Southridge 43.

Motz then hit Nick Neidig at the 36 and followed that up with a 3-yard run for a fi rst down at the 33.

After an incomplete pass, Motz ran for four more before Calvert bulled his way inside the 10.

“We came out in the second half and had the ball on the six and a great opportunity and we have another error from a snap and then another fumble,” he said. “But we fought back and forced a couple of fumbles but didn’t get either one of them. We made some nice plays be right at the end of the play we had a turnover. We just did too many things to take ourselves out of the game.”

On fi rst down, it appeared the Motz to Reidford connec-tion had worked but at the last second, the ball was stripped away and the Vikings were unable to convert, again hurting themselves.

After another incomplete pass, the Vikings fumbled on back-to-back downs and Southridge took over on the 19 with 6:53 remaining.

“We made an awful lot of mistakes, a lot more mistakes than I thought we should have made,” Gengelbach said. “We’ve got a lot of young kids but they have all played and this is the fourth game. By this time, a lot of the mental er-rors…coverages blown and being lined up wrong, those are just a matter of concentration. Physical errors are going to occur but the mental errors need to stop.”

The Viking defense again held after Southridge had worked its way down to the Viking 18.

Then Motz hit Neidig for 11, and then Harness for 28 more to the 40. Casey Voelker caught a pass for 11 and Harness again got the fi rst down.

Then Neidig made up for an offsides by going up big in

By Dave PearceFor North Posey girls golf

coach Kevin Wassmer, Satur-day’s Pocket Athletic Confer-ence championship did not come as a total surprise. But to most of the other schools in the PAC, it probably did.

With only fi ve golfers out and in only the second year of a full competitive team, Was-smer helped the team to the championship by encourag-ing them to do the best they could do.

“We did a pretty good job,” Wassmer said of his team. “I thought we had a pretty good chance but you just never know how everyone is going to play.”

But the match, played at Oakland City, was far from a run-away. After nine holes, the Lady Vikings held a slim one-stroke lead over always-tough Southridge.

“It was tight and I talked to all the girls individually and let them know how tight it was and they all responded,” Wassmer said. “They all had better back nine scores than front. I think they were a little nervous because they did have a real good chance to win.”

Kendyl Ahrens led the team with a 91 and within three strokes of medalist

honors. But the fact that the top four golfers were within six strokes of each other was the key for the team. Allie Koester shot a 93 and Maggie Camp had a 95 and Kelsey Teel had a 97.

Wassmer said the team has played well most of the year, placing second at a recent invitational in Madisonville, Ky. The team had also beaten each of the other teams on the conference in dual meets but team scores in a confer-ence situation are a totally different story. Wassmer said he was proud of the way his team responded to the chal-lenge.

“We have also beaten Mater Dei, Bosse, and Har-rison and we play Evansville Signature School this week so we have had a really good year,” Wassmer said. “We beat the teams we probably should have beat but North Knox and Washington beat us pretty good but I think Washington is ranked pretty high.”

So does this mean that the Vikings could be one of the teams to get out of the Evans-ville Sectional. While Was-smer admits it would take a monumental effort, it is not impossible.

“That would be tough be-cause Castle came up and beat North and everyone for the SIAC title on Saturday,” Wassmer said. “Castle, Me-morial and North are all go-ing to be there so it will be very tough.”

Final scores and standings from the PAC meet are as fol-lows:

Oakland City Golf Club Team: North Posey 376,

Southridge 385, Gibson Southern 410, Pike Central 431, Forest Park 441, South Spencer 454,Tell City 468.

North Posey: Kendyl Ah-rens 91,Allison Koester 93, Maggy Camp 95, Kelsey Teel 97.

Kunstfestcelebrationis Sept. 18-19

By Steve JoosThe Mount Vernon volleyball team beat one of its county

rivals twice last week, but the rival came back the second time and helped out the Lady Wildcats.

Mount Vernon topped the North Posey Lady Vikings 25-17, 25-15 Saturday at the Lady Wildcats’ Invitational tourna-ment, but North Posey helped the Lady Cats clinch their fi rst invitational title in 18 years by beating Southridge 21-25, 28-6, 15-13 in Saturday’s fi nal match.

North Posey needed to score at least 35 points in the match to put the Lady Cats past Barr-Reeve on a tiebreaker.

Lady Wildcats’ coach Andi Allford wasn’t happy with the way her team played in their opener (a 25-22, 25-18 loss to Southridge), but thought they got better as the day went on.

“Southridge has a very good team,” Allford said. “And I don’t think we were awake or prepared to do the things we were supposed to do. Overall though, I was pleased. Barr-Reeve has an awesome team with great hitters and great de-fense, but the girls really stepped up.”

The coach was especially pleased to see her team step up against a strong, more aggressive team like Barr Reeve.

Allford thought that the other Lady Vikings were much more competitive than in Tuesday’s contest, but her team was also more aggressive and made more progress than in the earlier contest.

If Allford saw progress, Lady Vikings coach Gary Gentil wanted to see more consistency, but he felt Saturday was an improvement.

“This was the best back-to-back three matches that we’ve had all year,” Gentil said after the Lady Vikings won for just the third time this season by beating the Lady Raiders. “We were more consistent. We still had some problems at times with different places, but they played a lot better, more con-sistent today.”

North Posey was moving the ball and covering well in each contest and they were ahead in their third set against Barr Reeve, only to have the Montgomery County team score the last four points to win the match.

The Lady Cats had two different servers who were giving North Posey problems, Gentil said, adding that his team tried to do a better job of recovering in each set, cutting the fi rst-set defi cit to four points before the Lady Cats pulled away.

The improvement fi nally seemed to pay off against South-ridge, as North Posey won the second set on a tiebreaker and then held them off in the third contest.

Composure was the key against Barr-Reeve, the coach added.

“Against good teams, we play really aggressive and hard,” Allford said. “We try not to let the score be our focus, we make our performance the focus. We play mini-games to fi ve and try to win that set of fi ve points.”

Barr Reeve climbed to within a point with the Lady Cats at match point in the second set, but a blocking error put the Lady Cats over the top, giving them a 25-21, 25-23 vic-tory. Under that same scenario in their contest, North Posey wasn’t able to fi nish things off and came up short 25-20, 20-25, 15-12.

Allford praised her team for its overall play, led by Carynn Koch’s strong inside play and Jacey Ritzert’s improved front row play.

“I know I’ve had a lot of disappointment with our prog-ress,” the coach said. “But I feel as if today is a big growing point for us.”

As well as an accomplishment the Lady Cats hadn’t man-aged since 1992.

Ritzert paced the team with nine kills against Barr-Reeve, while Koch, Meagan Martin and Brittany Wallis each regis-tered two aces. Koch had two blocks, Martin 22 assists and Lauren Stemple three digs.

Koch served 10 straight points in the fi rst set against North Posey to help put away the Lady Vikings, as she and Ritzert each registered 10 kills against North Posey.

Koch also had three blocks and four digs against North Posey, while Martin served two aces and turned in 25 as-sists.

Against Southridge, Koch put in six kills and three blocks, while Meagan Montgomery served a pair of aces. Martin had 15 assists and Stemple 11 digs.

North Posey bounced back from losses to Mount Vernon and Barr Reeve to beat Southridge 21-25, 28-26, 25-15 and salvage one match on the day.

The Lady Viking reserves brought home fi rst place in the reserve tourney, despite a 25-14, 25-23 loss to the Lady Wildcats. North Posey defeated Southridge 25-14, 25-13, and Barr Reeve 25-19, 25-16 to claim the title.

Mount Vernon went 0-3 in the reserve tourney, losing to Southridge 25-15, 25-18 and Barr-Reeve 25-19, 25-16.

Barr Reeve won its match over Southridge 25-16, 25-14, while the varsity match between the two went to the Lady Raiders 25-14, 25-23.

In the fi rst meeting between the two teams, consistency was a concern for both coaches, but it was Mount Vernon that got the better of it, winning 25-15, 23-25, 25-14, 25-17.

The Lady Cats picked up the pace in the last two sets and picked up their eight win of the year, nearly coming back from a big defi cit in the second game. But once again, All-ford was happier with the win than she was the way the team played.

“They’re still doing what it takes to win games,” the Mount Vernon coach said. “But what coaches need to progress and to compete on a higher level, they’re not doing that.”

The growth that comes with each match is lacking a bit, Allford said, adding that the Lady Wildcats played better at the end of each set, but she was concerned about the slower starts at the outset of each set, the coach explained.

The Lady Wildcats won each of their sets by comfortable margins, but it didn’t always look that easy, especially in the fi rst two games.

North Posey took a 4-1 lead in the opening set, holding on until Koch dished up six unanswered tallies to give Mount Vernon a 12-8 lead. A double hit call on North Posey with Mount Vernon holding a 12-9 lead enabled the Lady Cats to break open that contest.

That was one key to the fi rst game, according to Gentil, who added that things got away from the Lady Vikings in the last two sets.

“We just couldn’t get any consistency,” the coach said. “In the fi rst game and the second game we played hard. The

intensity came in, we played a lot better and moved a lot better. In that third game, Mount Vernon just pushed that game to a faster pace

than we were used to and we couldn’t react to it. We were on our heels most of the night.”

After nearly erasing a seven-point defi cit in the second game, the Lady Cats served the fi rst seven points of the third set and never looked back, leading by as many a nine points before posting a 25-14 win.

The fourth game was a lot more competitive in the early stages, with North Posey coming back from an early 5-2 gap to take a 7-5 lead on a Mount Vernon hitting error.

The Lady Cats reclaimed the lead and were up 13-9 when North Posey was called for four hits. The Lady Vikings got the ball back, but Kendall Reidford sent her fi rst serve into the net. The ball went back to Mount Vernon and the Lady Wildcats went from there to take control of the game and the match.

That error wasn’t as much of a game-changer, but Allford said that her team was able to take advantage of the Lady Vikings’ errors.

“I do see a little improvement with each game,” she said. “That’s a big thing. I want to see them get better every time out.”

Koch was once again an inside force for the Lady Cats, with three aces, six blocks and 17 kills. Stemple turned in fi ve digs, while Martin had 37 assists.

More consistency was the key to North Posey’s success in the second game, Gentil added.

“Right now, we have to keep a high level of play because we’re playing at the varsity level,” Gentil said. “It’s going to be that way. But we’ll keep working and trying to improve.”

Reidford, Katelyn Esche and Megan Durcholz each had an ace for the Lady Vikings, while Esche helped out with an-other 10 assists. Wendi Simpson had fi ve kills, while Caitlin Herrmann added four blocks and six digs.

The reserve Lady Cats won their match 25-17, 25-18.On Thursday, the Lady Cats notched another Big Eight win

with a 25-14, 24-14, 23-25, 25-21 decision at Boonville.“That was a very exciting game,” the coach said. “This

was a team that we targeted and we set out a goal to take them in three and it went to four, so we didn’t meet our goal in that, but it was exciting to see the girls get fi red up and play aggressively. I was pleased.”

Koch and Ritzert each had 14 kills for the Lady Wildcats, while Koch had fi ve aces and nine blocks. Martin turned in 36 assists.

The reserves weren’t as fortunate, losing 25-19, 25-23.The Lady Vikings traveled to Memorial Thursday night

and came up short, losing 25-3, 25-15, 25-4. Gentil had no comment on the match.Durcholz had fi ve kills in the match, while Esche turned

in nine assists. Kelsey Everley had seven digs. The reserve meet went to the Lady Tigers 27-25, 25-23.

end zone on the next play to snag what would be the only North Posey score of the night at the 9:06 mark. The extra point try failed and although the Vikings threatened again, a fumble on the Southridge 15 with 5:21 remaining pretty much sealed the deal.

Harness fi nished with 33 yards on the ground and Calvert had 21. Motz hit six different receivers as Neidig caught six for 42 yards, Reid-ford had three for 51, Calvert had three for 24, Harness had two for 37, Cox had two for 20, and Voelker’s completion went for 12.

The Vikings had fi ve fum-bles, losing three of those. Motz was intercepted twice.

Messmer fi nished with 168 yards on 27 carries for South-ridge and the Raiders threw only fi ve passes, completing two for 39 yards.

Luke Morrow led the de-fense with nine tackles and two assists while Alex Maile had six and three assists. Cain had fi ve tackles and four as-sists while Cox and Anthony Webb had six tackles apiece. Brandon Baum, Neidig, and Austin Little had three apiece while Calvert had two. Reid-ford, Chris O’Risky, Tanner Hobgood, and Harness all had a tackle apiece.

Things will get no easier for the Vikings as they will take their 2-2 record into Lincoln City Friday night to face the Heritage Hills Patriots. South-ridge is also 2-2. The Patriots were 13-7 losers at Jasper on Friday night. Gametime Fri-day is 7 p.m. The Patriots have scored 163 points and have given up only 13 in their fi rst four games. They are 3-1.

Castle was hoping for better at this point of the season.

The Lady Wildcats are 5-4 on the year after running into a pair of buzz saws last week, losing to Big Eight Conference heavy-weights Washington and Jasper.

Four different Lady Hatchets succored goals Saturday and three others each had two assists as the Washington routed Mount Vernon 10-0, after the Lady Wildcats came up short against Jasper Tuesday 7-1.

“It’s tough to have two teams like that (Jasper and Washington) back to back,” Castle said. “We had some chances against Washington and for the fi rst 10 minutes, we were competitive with them. They scored one goal and that started the fl ood.”

The Lady Hatchets went from there to score seven goals over the next half-hour, building a 7-0 halftime lead. Sandy Bryant, Brandy Ramaj, Olivia Myers and Madi Hea-cock each booted in two goals for Washing-ton, while Myers, Bryant and Claire Hatton each had two assists.

“Washington plays together and they play all year long on travel teams,” Castle said. “We have a few girls who play on travel teams all year around, but most of our girls don’t. That’s why Washington so much bet-ter right now, but we did have some opportu-nities to score and we had a few chances.”

Depth was another problem as Mount Ver-non didn’t have enough players to contend with a much stronger Lady Hatchet squad.

Some of those chances either took a wrong bounce or hit in the wrong place. One shot was defl ected away by the Lady Hatchet goalkeeper.

Katie Hammer and Olivia Sherman had all the goals, while Ramaj, Heacock and Jer-rica Perkins each registered assists.

The two reserve teams played to a score-less tie in a half Saturday.

Maria Baier scored three goals and Eliza-beth Theil added two more Tuesday as Jas-per rolled over visiting Mount Vernon 7-1.

Megan Randall had the only goal of the night for Mount Vernon, with Jenny Koch adding the assist.

The score Tuesday night was one-sided, but it was a bit of an improvement over last year’s game, where Jasper posted a 14-2 victory, Castle said.

“We had some easier games early in the season and this was our tough stretch,” the coach said. We have some games coming up that I think we can win, but if we don’t play up to our capabilities, we could struggle.”

Castle’s goal of a 14-win season has al-ready fallen by the wayside, she said, adding that the team still has a chance to be very successful if it can learn to take advantage of its chances and take charge of games ear-lier.

Wildcat soccer team hits a double-bump in the road

By Steve JoosThe Mount Vernon boys’ soccer team is

heading in the right direction, they’re just not getting there fast enough.

At least that was coach Travis Kaiser’s feel-ings after the Wildcats went 0-2-1 last week, wrapping things with a scoreless tie at Tell City.

“We continue to play hard,” Kaiser said. “But we still need to fi nd a way to get the ball into the back of the net.”

The Cats have consistently played hard throughout the season, Kaiser said, but they have struggled offensively with impatience.

Mount Vernon only score on goal in last week’s games, came on a shot by Kyle Sheffer early in the Cats’ 2-1 loss at Mount Carmel.

The team has worked on slowing down their ball movement and trying to pass it more while widening the fi eld, but they still haven’t converted any shots, Kaiser said, mainly be-cause they’re still a little too impatient.

The team had a number of chances to score against the Marksmen, but just weren’t able to get it in the back of the net.

Defensively, the Cats played a much better game Saturday despite losing center-midfi eld-ers Matt Kuhlenschmidt and Nick Theodosis (Kuhlenschmidt is out for the year with a bro-ken leg, while Theodosis is down until the end of the week) and basically losing a third starter with the move of goalkeeper Zac Deig to the center-midfi eld.

Kaiser is pleased with the way the team is playing and thinks they’re heading in the right direction.

He’d just like to see them get there a little quicker.

Kaiser thought his team played better Thursday despite the 5-0 loss to visiting Gib-son Southern.

“We played hard,” he said. “This was prob-

ably one of the better games we’ve played this year. I know it was a 5-0 loss, but as far as moving the ball around, we moved it around a little bit better than normal, instead of just ‘kick it around, kick it around.’ We’re starting to check to the ball better and moving the ball better.”

Now the Cats just have to tie up a few loose ends. For one thing, they have to get it in the net.

The Titans’ fi rst few goals were mainly banked shots off the net that bounced their way, while Mount Vernon continued to have trouble keeping possession of the ball, al-though they did improve on it against the Ti-tans.

Matt Wallinger and Brody DeWeese each hit a pair of goals for the Titans, with DeW-eese adding two assists. Both Wallinger and DeWeese connected on direct kicks, Wallinger late in the fi rst half to give Gibson Southern a 2-0 halftime lead.

Thursday’s game was Kaiser’s fi rst after sitting out two contests following a red card in the Wildcat reserves’ 1-0 loss to Washing-ton on Sept. 7.

Things were even more physical Tuesday, as Mount Vernon fell at Mount Carmel 2-1.

Sheffer booted in the Cats’ lone goal against the Aces in a battle where several players drew cards.

That score came in the eighth minute of the game and put Mount Vernon up 1-0 momen-tarily. Clayton Richison answered off a pass from Pete Condol on the Aces’ next posses-sion to tie the game and then Condol scored off a pass from Tyler Shaw to give Mount Carmel the lead in the 40th minute.

The Cats fell to Central 5-3 despite two goals and an assist from Volz. Sheffer had the other goal, while Deig helped out on two goals.

Mount Vernon boys’ soccer has trouble fi nding the net

By Steve JoosThere’s an old adage in

golf, “you drive for show and putt for dough.”

The Mount Vernon girls’ golf team wasn’t playing for dough last week, but they are defi nitely rounding into shape just in time for a big payoff.

The question is, will it be enough to get them far in the postseason?

The Lady Wildcats shot some of their best rounds of the year on Saturday, but Jasper and Washington shot even better, leaving Mount Vernon in third place in the Big Eight Conference meet at the par 70 Thunderbolt Pass golf course in Washington.

On Thursday, the link Lady Cats turned in their best dual-meet round of the sea-son, only to meet up with a deadeye Reitz Lady Panther foursome, going down 154-170 at Countrymark.

All seven lady Wildcats broke 50 as Mount Vernon started its week Tuesday with a 181-205 win over vis-iting Signature School, also at CountryMark.

The secret to the Lady Cats’ recent success?

A better short game, of course, according to coach

Dave Bell. “Chipping and putting,”

Bell said. “The short game, that’s what’s important. The girls have been working on it a lot and they’re starting to improve.”

For example, Amy Steele has been working on her short game almost exclusively and saw her scores improve, shooting an 84 for one of her better 18-hole rounds Satur-day at the conference meet, according to Bell, who added that each of the girls bet-ter their scores after making the turn at Thunderbolt Pass. Kendyl Bourne fashioned an 81 and earned honorable

mention All-Big Eight Con-ference honors, while Kay Leigh Albright added an 86 and Roni Peck an 87 as the Lady Cats hit the ball well and lowered their scores af-ter shaking off the butterfl ies and making the turn, but they just couldn’t catch Jasper and Washington.

Jasper won the champion-ship with a score of 299, while the Lady Hatchets were sec-ond with 317. Mount Vernon, meanwhile, was comfortably in third place, 22 strokes in front of fourth-place Boon-ville (360). Mount Carmel (361), Princeton (372) and Vincennes (388) rounded out

the fi eld.Even hotter competition

may be the rub as far the team’s standings are con-cerned.

Thursday’s round may have been a very good one for Mount Vernon, but Reitz shot the lights out at Coun-tryMark, paced by Chanice Young’s three-under par 32 and shot down Mount Vernon. Bourne fi red a 38 and each of the Lady Cats were under 50, but it wasn’t enough as two Lady Panthers broke 40 (Meagan Gower was the other with a 39).

Allbright fi red a 43, Peck a 44 and Bailey Ash 45 to round out what under any other circumstances would have been a very strong foursome. Steele shot a 48 against Reitz, while Chloe Wannemuhler carded a 50 and Carly Redman a 55. Wannemuhler shot a 97 at the conference meet.

Depth may be another se-cret weapon for Mount Ver-non, as different members of the team will step up in order to help out.

Redman paced the team Tuesday with a 42 for medal-ist honors against Signature. Bourne fi red a 45 and Wan-nemuhler a 46, while Peck, Ash and Allbright each fi red 48s.

Annie Dixon shot a 51 to pace Signature.

Bell is optimistic about Mount Vernon’s chances this weekend, but he’s also cau-tious.

It all depends on who else shows up.

The Lady Wildcats won two recent triangular meets, shooting a 185 to beat Princ-eton (195) at Evansville‘s Fendrich Golf Course. Bosse did not have enough for a team score.

That was the fi rst of two victories over the Lady Ti-gers, who also came in third behind the Lady Cats (187) and homestanding Mount Carmel (196) with a 207.

Peck carded a 44 to pace the Lady Cats at Mount Car-mel. Bourne fi nished with a 45, Albright a 48 and Wan-nemuhler a 50, rounding out the Mount Vernon foursome. Redman fi red a 51 in her fi rst meet back from mononucle-osis complicated by double pneumonia, while Ash fi red a 53.

Mount Carmel had just two girls under 50 (Ravyn Rogers with 46 and Allie Dean with a 48), while Princeton’s Tay-lor Holley carded a 44 and

shared medalist honors with Peck.

All four Lady Wildcats broke 50 at Fendrich, the site of this weekend’s Evansville Sectional.

Bourne and Wannemuhler shared team medalist honors by each shooting 45s, while Albright fi red a 47 and Ash a 48.

Holley shot a 48 to lead Princeton, while Laura Egan carded a 52 for Bosse.

The Lady Wildcats fi n-ished second in a triangular at Helfrich, posting a score of 213 to fi nish between Castle (188) and Central (232).

Bourne led the Lady Wild-cats with a 49, while Albright added a 51, Ash a 56 and Steele a 57.

Bourne shook off a double bogey on the fi rst hole and shot a 39 in leading the Lady Cats to a 195-204 victory at Boonville, earning medalist honors with a 39. Two Lady Pioneers, Shelby Schneider (41) and Shelby Shoulders (47) got between Bourne and number-two Lady Wildcat Albright’s 49, but Wannem-uehler (53) and Steele (54) helped provide a close four-some for Mount Vernon.

The Mount Vernon Ju-nior High School girls’ cross country team fi nished fourth in the recent South Gibson “Early Bird” meet, scoring 119 points.

Naomi Seifert paced the Lady Bobcats and all county runners by fi nish-ing eighth overall with a time of 14:32. Rachel Rothman (15:33) was 11th, while Savannah Roy (16:20) and Kelly Mc-Cloud (16:22) came in 27-

28. Brooke Green (17:12) and Erin Wolf (17:14) went 37-38 for the Lady Bobcats, while Grace Baldwin (17:47) was 43rd, Madison Reis (19:26) 56th and Quineshia Washington (19:54) 58th.

North Posey did not have enough runners for a team score in the girls’ meet. Erin Will had the junior high Lady Vikings’ best fi nish, coming in 41st with a time of 17:33, with Syd-

ney Feldrake (17:37) right behind in 42nd. Hannah Straw (18:49) was 50th to round out the North Posey contingent.

Gibson Southern ran away and hid from the rest of the fi eld, winning with 24 points. Evansville Christian School was a distant second with 105, followed by Perry Heights (113). Mater Dei (130) and South Spencer (216) rounded out the fi eld.

By Steve JoosIf the scarecrow only had a brain, the Tin Woodsman only

had a heart and the Lady Wildcats only had enough runners for a full team.

The Lady Wildcats put a full girls’ cross country team on the course for the fi rst time this season, but like the rest of the Posey County contingent at the University of Southern Indiana course, they were back in the pack at Saturday’s Mater Dei Invitaitonal meet.

The Lady Cats were 11th overall with 251 points. Hunter Motz was fi fth among the boys with a time of

16:41.59, but the rest of the Vikings struggled as North Posey came in tenth with 275 points.

The Mount Vernon boys were seventh with 176 points, fi nishing between Reitz (160) and Harrison (196). Signature School was ninth with 204 points, while the Vikings only fi nished ahead of Bosse (335) in the team standings.

Two county runners, both from North Posey, fi nished

among the top runners Saturday, as Motz was a mainstay in the boys’ race and Olivia Goebel was the highest county fi nisher in the grail race, coming through the chute in 19th place with a time of 22:51.

North Posey was nine in the girls’ race with 220 points.Brianna Reis had the highest fi nish for the now-complete

Lady Wildcats’ team, as she came in 32nd with a time of 23:35. Rachel Cash, running in her fi rst meet, was 55th (26:08). Olivia Baldwin (27:10) was 61st, Ashton Fuelling (28:00) 65th and Cally Schissler (28:27) 70th to round out the Lady Wildcat contingent.

Goebel was another lonely long distance runner, at least as far as he teammates were concerned, although the next two Lady Vikings were in the top 50: Jessica Smith (24:10) in 41st place and Haley Lamar (25:16) in 48th.

Meagan Bender (28:16) was 67th and Jaylyn Thornburg (29:19) 75th to round out North Posey’s top fi ve, while Jil-lian Koester (31:52) was 87th.

Reitz fi nished between the Lady Vikings and Lady Cats in ninth place with 225 points.

Memorial was an easy winner in the girls’ race with 33 points, more than doubling the score on second-place Bed-ford North Lawrence (69). Central (90), North (111) and Harrison (116) rounded out the top fi ve, Mater Dei was sixth with 139 points, while Castle (174) fi nished ahead of the Lady Vikings.

As for the boys, only one other Posey County runner made the top 25, Mount Vernon’s Ken Renshaw (18:29) in 24th place.

D.A. Wilson (18:50) and Ryan Dick (18:52) were 36-37 for the Cats, while Bryce Newman (19:12) was 43rd and Sean Ritzert (19:37) 51st to round out the Mount Vernon top fi ve.

Rounding out the Mount Vernon contingent were Dane Wilson (20:02) in 62nd place, Collin Knight (20:29) in 73rd, Adam Hoehn (22:35) in 114th, Jeff Powell (22;5) in 118th and D.J. Dickens (25:28) in 143rd.

Motz saw even fewer familiar faces, as Ty Shemwell was North Posey’s number-two runner—in 96th place with a time of 21:37.

Jonah Quirk (22:35) was 115th, followed by Shane Mar-tin (23:08) and Nathan Buchanan (23:13) at 124-125. Lucas Neuffer (23:32) was 129th, Keegan Stratton (24:00) 134th and Will Heldt (25:07) 142nd.

Saturday’s meet seemed to follow a pattern for the county harriers. Take the recent Hopewell Invitaitonals at Gibson Southern, for instance.

North Posey, for instance brought up the rear in the boys’ meet, but the Vikings had Motz, who came in fourth overall with a time of 16:42.40, 22 seconds behind Perry Central’s Eric Schreiber, who won the race in 16:20.35.

Individually, they were back in the pack, but the Mount Vernon boys made out pretty well in the team standings, fi nishing fourth with 130 points.

But even there, the Wildcats didn’t do that poorly, placing two runners in the top 20 and a third in the top 25. Renshaw had the Cats’ best individual fi nish, coming in 18th place with a time of 17:49.45, with D.A. Wilson (17:56.13) right behind him in 19th place and Dick (18:00.40) was 21st. Newman (18:47.14) was 35th and Ritzert (18:52.25) 37th to round out the Wildcats’ top fi ve. Dane Wilson (18:54.56) was 39th and Knight (19:41.71) 59th to round out the Wild-cat boys.

Hoehn was 20th in the reserve race with a time of 21:44.05, while Powell (22:44.54) came in 27th.

Mount Vernon was 20 points behind third-place Heri-tage Hills (110 points) and seven in front of fi fth-place Tell City (137). Perry Central won the meet with 38 points, well ahead of runner-up Memorial (71).

North Posey fi nished 12th in the meet with 338 points, but that wasn’t he biggest thing coach Jessica Ivy took from the meet.

Five of the next six Viking runners were in a pack that fi nished fourth from the bottom of the 90-runner fi eld. Quirk (21:07.48) was 82nd, Wes Conner (22:08.75) was 83rd, Shemwell (22:17.00) 84th, Buchanan (22:1761) 85th and Neuffer (22:19.08) 86th. The team’s seventh runner, Tyler Sims (23:59.99) came in 90th place.

Martin led the Viking reserves by fi nishing in 28th place with a time of 22:46.58. Stratton (24:26.46) was 34th and Heldt (24:41.40) 36th.

The North Posey girls also showed improvement, as Smith (23:23.12) and Goebel (23:27.27) better their times while cracking the top 40. Smith was 37th overall and Goebel 40th for the top two fi nishes among county harriers.

The Lady Vikings fi nished 11th in the girls’ race with 296 points, four behind 10th-place Pike Central (292) and well in front of 12th-place Vincennes (324). Mount Venron is still lacking enough runners for a girls’ team.

Lamar (24:26.58) fi nished 53rd for the Lady Vikings, while Thornburg (28:06.72) was 81st and Bender (29:41.09) came in 84th to round out the contingent.

Once again, Mount Vernon was a runner short of a full girls’ team. Reis was 49th for the Lady Wildcats’ best indi-vidual fi nish, while Baldwin (25:32.58) was 62nd, Schisler (27:12.90) 74th and Fuelling (27:33.52) 77th.

Lady Titans run away from fi eld

The Gibson Southern JV football team won the toss and chose to defer to the sec-ond half, and that was about that last thing that went right for them as the North Posey’s JV dominated them through four quarters Tuesday on the Vikings’ home turf.

In a 22-point outburst, North Posey scored early and often in the fi rst period with Alec Werry connecting on a 73-yard catch and run to Jacob Bender to start things off. A Werry to Bender con-version pass made the score 8 – 0 with 8:32 left in the fi rst quarter.

Just two minutes later, the Vikings struck again this time on a 36-yard TD run by Eric O’Risky over the right side of Gibson Southern’s defense.

“The blocking on that play was beautiful,” Coach Michael Kuhn said. “The left side of our offensive line caved them down and the downfi eld blocking set up a perfect wall,” he added.

Derek Voegel added the

two-point conversion run to make the score 16 – 0 North Posey. But the Vikings were still not fi nished their fi rst-quarter scoring barrage as Dylan Wright tacked on a 13-yard catch and run from Werry with 1:29 left in the quarter. This time the con-version pass failed, but North Posey was now up 22 – 0 at the end of the quarter.

In the second quarter Tyler Adkins’ sack of the Gibson Southern quarterback Mat-thew Harpenau set up the next Viking touchdown as Werry found Mitchell Kuhn for a 34-yard strike with 7:55 left in the fi rst half. An Eric O’Risky run made the score 30 – 0 in favor of North Posey. Neither team could score again as the Vikings substituted freely given plen-ty of players precious game-time experience.

“We were able to get al-most every player in the game for signifi cant min-utes,” said JV Coach Patrick Rose. “It as a great opportu-nity to play different combi-

nations and see what they do together.”

The third quarter opened with a Gibson Southern kick-off return for a touch-down by Kurt Kramer. Kramer, newly converted to runningback from the line, scampered down Gibson Southern’s sideline 67 yards for the score. His two-point conversion run with 9:28 remaining made the score 30 – 8 in favor of North Posey, but prevented a shut-out. North Posey fi rst got on the board in the second half on Tyson Paris’ 17-yard scamper around the right end with 6:58 left in the quarter. His scoring run was set up by Eric O’Risky’s long run along the left sideline. Voe-gel’s 2-point conversion run made the score 38 – 8 in fa-vor of the Vikings.

Paris struck pay dirt again on a nifty 25-yard run with 1:42 remaining in the quarter. Werry added the two-point conversion run to end the scoring at 46 – 8. In the fi rst three games for North Posey,

Alec Werry has thrown for ten touchdown passes with only two interceptions.

In the fourth quarter Ja-cob Bender fi lled in nicely at quarterback Werry for the fi rst time this season and promptly marched the Vi-kings down to the one yard line where time was allowed to expire. Werry had a busy night quarterbacking the team for three quarters, play-ing some cornerback on de-fense, kicking, and punting, (although the Vikings, like the Titans never punted.)

“I thought everybody played well in this game,” Kuhn said. “It’s always better to play with confi dence and we are hoping this carries over into our next game.”

The JV Vikings were to be in action at Southridge on Monday, Sept. 13 at 6 p.m.

To Pastors Raymond Tucker and Matthew Watson of Mount Vernon General Baptist Church and to the ladies of the church who prepared a lovely luncheon for us.

To Doctor Gordon Bogel and his associates for their dedication and excellent caregiving over the many years.

Words cannot express our feeling to the Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehab Center who greeted “Charles” with such love and caring in his last week.

Lastly, thanks to Bill Stendeback and his staff at Austin-Stendeback Family Funeral Home.

FROM THE FAMILY OF CHARLES “CHARLIE” THOMSPSON:

MAY GOD BLESS YOU! MARY IRENE AND ORVILLE LINDSEY AND

FAMILY, ELEANOR “ELLIE” HOGAN

Jeff and Susie Colson of Mount Vernon live just up the street from our fam-ily. Modest and humble, they resist the limelight, but their good actions deserve attention. If for no other reason, I admire Susie for the time and talent she’s lavished on cakes created for all of my daughter Jessica’s special occasions. Yet, this couple is especially sweet to me for all their church work and their fi ne upbringing of their son Austin, just a few months older than my daughter.

Members of St. John’s Episcopal Church, the Colsons understand the dedicated Christian is committed to ac-tion. Jeff serves as junior warden, overseeing all church mainte-nance, and is a member of the vestry, a church council group. Susie teaches Sunday school for preschool and ele-mentary children. Just recently, she also became as-sistant church secretary. It’s a job well suited to her, for she never fails to offer a kind word when she sees some-one. Through their church, they have participated in Habitat for Humanity builds, Relay for Life and

Mount Vernon River Days. They don’t just warm a pew on Sunday mornings.

The Colsons are also bringing up their son in the way he should go. As long as I can remember, they have made sure Austin was involved in Christian education. He has learned kindness, courtesy and impeccable manners from his parents. His interests range from membership in the Mount Vernon Swim Club to musical perfor-mance on a variety of instruments—piano, per-cussion and xylophone. He performs with both the Mount Vernon Junior High School Band and the Wolfgang Ensemble. In spite of his full schedule as an 8th grade student,

he still mows the church yard.

The Colsons celebrated their 25th wedding an-niversary this summer. A transplant to his wife’s hometown of Mount Ver-non, Jeff has worked the same number of years for Sabic. Susie is well known in the Farmersville Ele-mentary School cafeteria, where she has served for six years. In their leisure, the whole family enjoys boating and water skiing. Jeff is a motorcycle and dirt bike enthusiast and still makes the time to go fi shing with Austin. This family could teach reality TV what constitutes a real family – love and avail-ability and sincere faith in God.

Jeff and Susie Colson, always willing to lend a helping hand
