By Dave PearceValentine’s Day will never be the same for
multiple members of the Posey County com-munity.
A four-month-old boy is dead and his biological father, Alex Lear, is in the Posey County Jail charged with murder and neglect of a Dependent Causing Death.
According to Mount Vernon Police Chief Grant Beloat, on the evening of Feb. 14, 2011, at approximately 7:20 p.m., the Mount Vernon Police Department responded to Apt. No. 53 at Green Valley Apartments on the north side of the town. Beloat said the Posey County EMS and the Mount Vernon Fire De-
partment also responded to the call.“The call was in response to the call that
a four-month-old child who was not breath-ing and was unresponsive,” Beloat said. “The child received medical attention and was transported to Deaconess Hospital in Evans-ville at approximately 8:03 p.m. The child received medical attention at that facility and was then transferred to Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Warrick County where at ap-proximately 11:45, the child was pronounced dead.”
The child has been identifi ed as Bryson James Clardy.
Reliable sources have indicated that Lear had been babysitting for his child and another three-year-old child of the woman on the date of the death. The other child had left the resi-dence at some prior time that day. Lear is also reportedly the father of another small child who lives in Posey County.
Beloat continued that local offi cials had been working with the offi ce of the Warrick County Coroner Eddie Goff. An autopsy was conducted at around 11 a.m. on Wednesday and it was determined that the cause of death was, in fact, a homicide.
According to the probable cause affi da-vit, Bryson had a fractured upper arm, brain swelling and multiple other bruises.
Goff said that on the evening of Feb. 14, 2011, his offi ce was advised of the death of a
four-month-old child at Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Warrick County.
“Upon investigation, my deputies found that there was signifi cant cause to perform an autopsy on this individual,” Goff said.
Goff said the autopsy was performed at 11
a.m. on Wednesday and it was determined that the child died of blunt force trauma.
“Trauma was found in multiple areas of the body of the child,” Goff said. “Anytime

A 74-year-old Wadesville woman, Norma Bonnell, was killed in this Friday morning accident on the Keck Bypass just east of Mount Ver-non. Photo by Dave Pearce
By Dave PearceIn a week fi lled with tragedy
in Posey County, a Wadesville woman was killed in a head on crash on the William Keck By-pass northeast of Mount Vernon. The accident occurred around 8 a.m.
According to Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, a grain truck
being driven by 48-year-old Alan Rubenacker of Dahlgran, Ill., was west-bound on the bypass when a Chrysler minivan crossed the center line into the path of the grain truck. The east-bound van was being driven by 74-year-old Norma Bonnell of Wadesville.
According to the sheriff, Bon-nell’s van crossed the center line
and into the path of an empty Freightliner grain truck. Accord-ing to Posey County Coroner Jay Price, Bonnell was pronounced dead at the scene. Rubenacker was not injured. Routine drug and alcohol tests revealed that neither drugs nor alcohol were involved.
Extrication equipment was used for more than half an hour.
Through traffi c on the bypass was closed for over two hours as representatives from the Posey County Sheriff’s Department, the Indiana State Police, the Black Township and Mount Vernon police departments responded to the accident scene. Members of the Posey County EMS were also called immediately to the scene.

New Posey Prosecutor Clowers faces ‘baptism by fi re’By Pam Robinson
New Posey County Prosecutor Travis Clowers is becoming all too familiar with the spotlight. Within his fi rst six weeks on the job, Clowers is faced with handling a murder trial at the same time he is waging war on drugs, namely meth, in Posey County.
Before news of the murder broke, Clowers talked last Wednesday about working with Posey County judges and city and county law enforce-ment in tackling the meth problem. Already, he credits the team effort with a conviction in his fi rst meth trial on Friday, Feb. 11.
“I’m proud the transition has been smooth,” he says. “I’m proud of our staff. I’m honored to be working with the type of judges and police we have. But we are not satisfi ed. We’re work-ing to make everything better and to address the problems we’re facing.”
Clowers is especially pleased with local law enforcement.
“We have a narcotics unit made up of an in-vestigator from the prosecutor’s offi ce, a city police offi cer, and a sheriff’s deputy. They’re an excellent team,” he says. “We have a plan to be more proactive. The investigations they are con-ducting, we can’t talk about; however, I think we’ll see great results from them.”
In fact, Clowers singles out law enforcement for his highest praise.
“The city police offi cers and the sheriff’s offi ce—I’m just so impressed by the level of ex-pertise that the detectives have. I’m impressed by the work ethic of the offi cers we have in this county,” he comments. “They do a great job. I
hope the public knows what good offi cers we have in this county.”
One more ingredient is needed, however, to battle the war on meth—community involve-

anyone would be sold on the philanthropy and community pride of new harmony residents andrew and amanda wilson. This dynamic young couple im-presses with everything from their auctioneering professionalism to their evi-dent zest for life.
a new harmony native, andrew may be best known for his business partner-ship with his father bill and younger brother aaron in william wilson auction and realty. yet, andrew is a rising star in a number of community and government organizations. he holds the office of president for the new harmony school Foun-dation and is past president of the new harmony busi-ness associates, still serving them on several committees. in addition, he serves on a long list of boards and com-mittees: the Posey County Community Foundation, the Posey County economic Development Partnership, Junior achievement of southwest indiana, the uni-versity of southern indiana-new harmony Foundation, the workingmen’s institute (which he proudly identi-fies as the state’s oldest li-brary) and the southwestern indiana Chamber of Com-merce’s government affairs committee. he is heavily involved with youth First, an organization that seeks to build and nurture strong families.
There’s more. andrew and his wife amanda are both members of the indiana auctioneers association, the largest auctioneers asso-ciation in the united states, boasting over 500 members. andrew is president-elect of
the associa-tion while a m a n d a
serves on the auxiliary board to benefit charities. The two of them have become visible at benefit auctions, where they donate their talents.
They remain involved in indiana university’s Dance marathon, the second larg-est student- run philanthropy in the united states, raising money for riley’s Children hospital. The Dance mara-thon holds a special place in their hearts, for it brought them together in fall 2000. in their leisure, they enjoy helping with new harmony garden Club activities, un-der the beams concerts and new harmony festivals. They are active members of Johnson united methodist Church in new harmony.
on her own, amanda works as the site coordina-tor for the Lights on after-school program at west el-ementary school in mount vernon. she is also deeply involved with establishing a big brothers/big sisters mentoring program through-out Posey County and is helping to plan the Posey County bowl for Kids’ sake this fall.
andrew and amanda
wed on July 14, 2004, at the Roofless Church in New harmony. They are proud uncle and aunt now and look forward to children of their own.
andrew’s family in-cludes his parents bill and Pat wilson, grandparents ivan and rosemary alsop, younger brother aaron and nephew miles. he is happy his younger sister em-ily and her husband allen weinzapfel will soon settle in new harmony also with their 4-month-old daughter brynn.
amanda’s parents, brent and Paula Coleman, still live in her native west Frankfort, ill. her maternal grandparents, howard and eleanor roberts, have re-tired to evansville’s west side.
The family biography is completed by the wilsons’ 7-year-old black lab, miss bailey ann, brought home a month after andrew and amanda married. “we hope to raise our children better than we’ve raised our dog,” amanda says with a laugh. “she rules the roost some-times.”
wilson family chooses to be involved
By Pam robinson“i discovered new harmony in 1978,” re-
calls painter, photographer and videographer mary ann michna. she and her late husband delighted in a weekend getaway then at the new harmony inn. “it was almost like a hon-eymoon,” she says. Like so many travelers, michna was captivated by new harmony’s charm.
after that initial visit, she returned to new harmony many times, staying at the new harmony inn. her art has appeared in the new harmony gallery of Contemporary art for the past 10 years. when michna attended a preservation conference in new harmony last march, she was shown the building that once housed Carl’s Drive-in. shortly after-ward, she bought the building and converted it into a light-filled studio and home. She moved in just this past august 2010.
a native of Dolton, ill. (a suburb of Chi-cago), michna is as comfortable in indiana as in her home state. she graduated from Pur-due university with a bachelor’s degree in art before heading to brooklyn, new york, for graduate studies in art at the Pratt institute. she stayed in new york, studying and work-ing, until her mother needed care in 1980. back home again, she worked in media at Luther general hospital in Park ridge, ill., for 10 years.
Then, in 1988, she traveled to Fairmount, ind., to work on a video project about James Dean. her “remembering James Dean” earned first place honors in a competition sponsored by “video review” magazine. From then on, she’s been gainfully employed and highly motivated in indiana.
she moved to indianapolis in 1990 and worked as a video specialist for the indiana state Library. she also kept a studio in the historic stutz building downtown to work on and display her acrylic paintings and pho-tography. in 2001, michna relocated to Terre
haute, ind., to set up a new studio there. she still travels back and forth to Terre haute fre-quently to participate in art shows.
Michna says her “first awareness” of art came in high school when her class took a field trip to the Chicago art Institute. “That was my first visit to the art institute,” she re-calls. “i was encouraged and motivated.”
she works to preserve history with her painting, photography and videography. “i am influenced by american popular culture,” she comments. “i’m motivated when i see things that are disappearing from the ameri-can landscape—vintage architecture such as old gas stations , motels, and diners. There’s just so much of american culture that is slowly fading away.”
she likes to photograph and paint such places as the wigwam village in Cave City, Ky., near where i grew up. The peeling paint on the red door of a wigwam in the motel colony stirs nostalgia in the viewer.
readers may visit the new harmony gal-lery of Contemporary art to let the paintings and photographs speak for themselves. in ear-ly summer, the gallery will feature a special exhibit of michna’s work, beginning with a public reception on may 14. viewers will see why she has gained considerable recognition throughout southwestern indiana.
otherwise, michna sees interested art col-lectors by appointment in her home studio, except during the quarterly art strolls in new harmony when she keeps evening hours. her acrylic paintings are high end pieces priced at $2.50 per square inch. her photos run 50 cents per square inch, making an 8 x 10 cost $40. She charges $10 per finished second for videography, so a 30-second commercial will run $300. she is a member of the new har-mony business associates.
For more information, visit michna’s web-site at www.maryannmichna.com, or call her at 812-241-3177.

Reaching the age of 85, 90 or 100 is a feat accom-plished by more people to-day than in the past. Thanks to advances in medical treat-ments and preventive care, more and more men and women are living beyond the average age expectancy. But what about the concept of living well beyond 100? It’s more common than one would think. According to The Gerontology Research Group, there may very well be hundreds of living su-percentenarians, or those who are at least 110 years of age, worldwide. As of 2011, there are 92 verifi ed living supercentenarians. Here is a list of the fi rst 10, the ma-jority of whom are women living in the United States.

Before the advent of Pres-idents’ Day, school children celebrated Abraham Lin-coln’s birthday on February 12 and George Washington’s birthday on February 22. Often those celebrations in-cluded the reading of essays about the lives of the great men. Students would make a mad rush to the library to fi nd a book or encyclopedia for information. The goal was to learn more about their lives.
Have you ever asked yourself, what your really known about these Ameri-can icons? If the answer is not much, help is at hand. We have 101 books about Mr. Lincoln and 37 about Mr. Washington. It seems over time, more has been written about our 16th presi-dent that our 1st. And while our collection of Lincoln books is varied and exten-
sive, the newest offering on our shelves is about the father of our country. It is Washington : A Life by Ron Chrenow.
Using the recent explo-sion in research into the life of Washington, Chernow presents us with a Washing-ton who is real and credible rather that the aloof hero of our childhood essays. It is the book to read for the lat-est insights into the life of our fi rst president.
But maybe history bores you. Not a problem. There are always cherry trees – or at least trees. It is not too early to start thinking about tree care and maintenance.
Or, maybe, you want to plant a tree. Remember, the WMI holds New Harmony’s Tree City Library. No mat-ter what your question about trees, we have a book with an answer. Just come in and ask about the Tree City Col-lection.
Then again, maybe yard work is not your thing, but you love cherries. Don’t for-get that the WMI is a great place to fi nd a recipe. For 101 ways to use cherries we have books, magazines and the Internet as resources for fi nding that perfect recipe.
From George Washington to cherry trees – you can fi nd it all at the WMI.
New Harmony's book fair was again a big suc-cess. We had sales of over $1700. The school library will be able to selcect over $600 in books with their profi t. Our One for Books program was profi table as well this year.
The book fair began with our Guessing Game Con-test. They had to guess how
many tickets were in the jar. The winner was Ken-zie Ricketts. Our coloring contest winnters were: Zoe Heinlin, Jordan Myers, Ian Heinlin, Jacob Wiley, Ma-ria Aguilar, Thomas Rapp and Tristan Bolte.
Our Family Night was held on Monday with the Science Fair. We had a great crowd and we even
had a special visitor, Clif-ford the Big Red Dog.
"I am very pleased with the book fair at New Har-mony School." said Kim Williams, Chairperson. "The community, staff, children and families sup-port their school library and reading, and it is very heartwarming to see this in a small school."

Coast Guard offi cer Renschler receives special award A Coast Guard Offi cer was honored Tuesday for his su-
perior service while deployed in support of overseas com-bat operations.
Lt. Aaron Renschler, 26, of Mt. Vernon, Ind., assigned to Tactical Law En-forcement Team South in Miami, was presented the 2010 Na-tional Defense Industrial As-sociation Spe-cial Operations/Low Intensity Confl ict Award for his actions in support of the counter-piracy mission in the Gulf of Aden.
This award honors one offi cer and enlisted member from each of the fi ve armed services who has distinguished him or herself while supporting special operations, low-intensity confl icts or irregular warfare.
“It is an incredible honor to be recognized and to rep-resent the Coast Guard amongst such elite warriors,” said
Renschler. “I was fortunate to be put in a position to make a difference in the Gulf of Aden, and I’m proud of what my
team was able to accomplish.” Over a fi ve-month deployment as offi cer-in-
charge of a law enforcement detachment aboard USS San Jacinto and USS Farragut, Renschler played a central role in the detention of 50 sus-pected pirates, the seizure of a large weapons and explosives cache, and the liberation fi ve Yemeni hostages.
Additionally, he was cited for his leadership while heading a task force assigned to identify, track, and board the most advanced narco-terror-ist means of transport in the history of the war on drugs – the self-propelled fully submersible drug sub.
“We are extremely proud of Lt. Renschler,” said Coast Guard Capt. Mark Hemann, Deputy Commander of the Coast Guard’s Deployable Operations Group. “His accomplishments epito-mize the capability and adaptability our deploy-able specialized forces bring to operational com-manders at home and abroad.”
Renschler and his fellow honorees were pre-sented the award Tuesday evening before a crowd of nearly 600 special operations soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and their families. The banquet featured a number of dis-tinguished guests, including Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who delivered the keynote ad-dress.

David & Terri Palmer are the recipients of the 2011 Poseyville Kiwanis Com-munity Service Award. Most people remember Terri as the North Posey High School band director from 1990 - 2003. She took over a struggling program and by 1998 had the band marching in the state fi nals.
She made return trips to the fi nals with the band in 2001 and 2003.
Her husband David has been with her every step of the way, not only encourag-ing her, but the students and other parents as well.
The Palmers are also active in other organiza-tions including Wadesville
Christian Church, and they established 2 scholarships for deserving students at North Posey.
Former band members say the Palmers did more than just teach them how to play a musical instrument. They also taught them the value of hard work and what it means to be a family.
The Poseyville Kiwanis Club held their Community Service Award night at the Feed Mill Resturant, Wed. Feb. 16, 2011 at 6 p.m. Warren Korff (l) presented the 2011 Com-munity Service Award to David (m) and Terri Palmer (r). Photo submitted

you are dealing with the death of anyone, you always know there is a family be-hind that death and it breaks one’s heart. But when you are dealing with a four-month-old child, it tears at you emotionally. It is hard for myself, as the coroner, and my deputies. But we have a job to do and we are doing that thoroughly and working seamlessly with the law enforcement com-munity in Posey County.”
“Investigators questioned the man who is believed to be the baby’s biologi-cal father,” Beloat contin-ued. “He was subsequently charged with murder and neglect of a child resulting in death, a Class A Felony, and battery resulting in the death of a child, also a Class A Felony.”
Beloat said the man be-lieved to be the biological father of the child, Timothy
Alexander “Alex” Lear, 23, whose address is listed as Village Green Apartment No. 53 in Mount Vernon, is being lodged in the Posey County Jail without bond.
Beloat indicated that the father was at home alone with the child as the primary caregiver of the child while the mother of the child was at work.
“The father did call in,
called 911, and reported that the child was coughing and not breathing and requested medical assistance,” Beloat said.
Beloat confi rmed that Lear does have a prior criminal history, but that there had never been a call involving this child. He in-dicated that Lear had been at home with the child since the mother had left for work at around noon.
“Fortunately, we don’t have many homicides but that makes it even more tragic when it involves a four-month-old child,” Be-loat said. “This is a rare oc-currence.”
Accused of killing the in-fant, Lear cried and whim-pered as he was led in and out of the Posey County courthouse, and during his initial court appearance Fri-day morning.
Lear was arrested Tues-day and formally charged
with murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in death and battery resulting in the death of four-month-old Bryson Clardy.
During the appearance, Lear was determined to be an indigent and local at-torney William Gooden was appointed to represent Lear.
Gooden says he believes his client has a history of serious mental health prob-lems.
Posey County prosecu-tor Travis Clowers says he hasn’t asked the fam-ily about seeking the death penalty if Lear were to be convicted. He’s due back in court for a progress hearing on March 14.
In the past four years, Lear has had a half dozen pro-tective orders fi led against him. He also has spent time in the Vanderburgh County Jail for battery, confi nement and intimidation.
ment. Clowers reports that when he was campaigning last year, voters told him meth was the number one problem fac-ing the county and urged him to be more aggressive in pros-ecuting those involved in the manufacture and sale of meth.
“When I was elected, I felt like it was a mandate that we want the meth problem addressed differently,” he says. “Part of that is when we come in and we put a case in front of a jury and the evidence is there, we need them to convict.
“When they are serving as jurors, this is not like TV. This is not like CSI. These crimes are not solved in an hour by some miraculous piece of DNA that was found by a slick detective wearing sunglasses,” he insists. “This is real life. If the evi-dence is in front of them, we need them to convict. That’s part of solving the problem.”
At the same time, Clowers hopes to step up rehabilitation for meth users. From his work with the Vanderburgh County Circuit Court, he is encouraged by results from drug court, an intense treatment program with daily drug testing geared at breaking the addiction cycle.
“It would take coordination on the part of the judges, com-munity corrections, and the prosecutor’s offi ce,” he com-ments. “I’ve been happy with—and this will continue to grow—and will utilize more of the community corrections program. Scott Smith, the community corrections director does an excellent job.”
Clowers wants to do more to address problems of drunk driving and domestic violence in Posey County also.
About domestic violence, he says, “There’s too much of that. We’re trying to make victims aware of Willow Tree ser-vices such as counseling. We’re hoping Willow Tree can be-come a big part in helping families of domestic violence.”
Early in his campaign, Clowers cited four good reasons for his dedication to Posey County: his wife Jennifer and their three young sons Triston (6), Jackson (4) and Bryce (2). A fourth son is now expected in May.
Ambitious and energetic, the Posey County native admits, “I’ve realized I can’t do it all in the fi rst month or two, but we’re laying the groundwork for a lot of good things.”

By Dave PearceNew Harmony is on the move and after Thursday evening’s
town council meeting, it is growing.Members of the Town Council voted unanimously to annex
the property commonly known as “the old fairgrounds” just east of the town. The “old fairgrounds” is the site of the EMS/Fire Department Building which was recently approved to be built with funds from a state grant with a town match.
Later in the meeting, Town Clerk Karla Atkins suggested that the town put $100,000 from the gas operating fund to eventually be used from the general fund as a portion of the matching funds which much be provided by the town.
But the size of the town is also growing in other ways. Park Board President Jeanne Maudlin announced that four new trees were planted this week to replace trees which had been removed for one reason or another.
The town is also growing on the Internet as Board member Linda Warrum announced that a new website is now available to provide information regarding New Harmony. Resident Jim Norton was instrumental in establishing the site at www.new-harmony-in,gov.
Warrum also read a portion of an email she received from Pamela Louks, the community and urban coordinator from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry. The note was in regards to the town’s chili cook-off held last fall to help raise money for trees.
“I was very impressed with the Chili Cook-Off/Tree City/Arbor Day/ Park event,” Louks said in the letter. “What a great idea. To my knowledge, New Harmony is the only one having a chili cook-off to raise funds for trees.”
The letter went on to say that Louks said she would be happy to present this year’s Tree City Award in person at this year’s chili cook-off.
“This event and the connection to trees in the town and com-bining it with Arbor Day and raising funds is just too good for me to miss,” Louks write.
“She has already been invited,” Warrum said with a smile. The event is set for October 15.

At fi rst glance, a stroll or a ride through our town will not give you the whole pic-ture. As with any town, many of the nicer homes line the main streets. Never the less, Poseyville does have its share of needy citizens. This time of year is especially diffi cult. With higher heating bills, ris-ing cost of health care and medicines, joblessness, etc., folks fi nd themselves strug-gling just to keep a can of soup in the cupboard. One only has to look at the grow-ing numbers of Food Pan-try boxes that get picked up every other week at God’s Storehouse Food Pantry in

The Posey County Extension Advisory Council annual meeting was held on Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2011, at the Posey County Community Center.
Current president Chris McCutchan welcomed everyone and a meal was serveed for members of the community who have contributed to the extension program throughout the past year. Also in attendance were several elected offi cials who were thanked for the generous monies allocated to the Posey County Extension programs which allow them to continue.
Those in attendance heard reports from Chris Cash, 4-H Council president; Ruth Ries, Extension Homemakers pres-ident; Tom Schmitt, Treasurer for the Fair Board and Mark Seibert, President of the Community Center Board.
McCutchan thanked the current board members: David Beste, Eleanor Buchanan, Mike Carlisle, Nancy Dougan, Steve Glaser, Russell Granderson, Warren Korff, Katy Lang, Chris McCutchan, Rhonda Moore, Phyllis Johnson and Mary Beth Williams-Gentil.
Presented on the ballot and elected to replace out going board members were William Bender, Connie Pearce and Barb Heldt.
The group then enjoyed an entertaining program on com-munication from Coordinator of Purdue University Pesticide Programs, Dr. Fred Whiteford. Whiteford has shared in writ-ing two books. “The Queen of American Agriculture” a bi-ography of Virginia Claypool Meredith and “The Grand Old Man” a biography of William Carroll Latta. Meredith managed a large prosperous farm in east-central Indiana that opened the door to Agriculture for women that had been closed in the past. Meredith has a women’s dorm named after on the West Lafayette campus. Latta had far reaching infl uence on agricul-ture at Purdue, in Indiana and at the national level. Latta laid the foundation upon which teaching, research and extension for agriculture for the state of Indiana fi rst began.
The evening adjourned with giving away of several door prizes. The Extension Board meeting dates for 2011 are March 14, June 21, September 20 and November 22. The meetings are open to the public.
A special thanks to the meal sponsors: Old National Bank; Integra Bank, First Bank, Fifth Third Bank and CSB State Bank.
New Posey County Extension Advisory Board members are Bill Bender, Connie Pearce, Barb Heldt, and guest speaker Dr. Fred Whiteford.
New members electedduring Posey ExtensionAdvisory Council meeting
By Valerie WerkmeisterPoseyville Town Council members took
necessary steps toward the grant process in their quest to fund a new rescue truck for the town and surrounding communities during their regular meeting last Wednesday.
Council members approved a resolution with their approval to submit a grant to the Indiana Offi ce of Community and Rural Af-fairs to seek the grant. The town and Robb Township are each contributing $48,500 and the Posey County Community Foundation has also pledged $5,000.
Poseyville Town Council President Bruce Baker stated the upcoming public hearing scheduled for Thursday, March 4, is extreme-ly important for citizens to attend. Notes and minutes from the previous public hearings are being excluded in this round. The public is urged to attend in full support to exemplify the need for the truck in the community.
The public hearing will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Poseyville Community Center.
Ken Gorbett made a request to install a 500-gallon gasoline tank from FS at the town garage. FS would supply the tank and pump and the town would need to construct a security fence around the tank.
Town vehicles, lawn mowers and other equipment are currently fi lled at the Posey County Co-op on the opposite side of town which Gorbett noted can sometimes be an inconvenience. There are also times that re-ceipts for gas purchases won’t print which causes problems tracking expenses for audit-ing purposes.
Baker and council member Ron Fal-lowfi eld urged Gorbett to obtain additional quotes from other companies and report back to the council. No action on the request was taken during the meeting.
Poseyville Town Marshall Doug Saltzman reminded the council that golf cart registra-tion renewal is coming up. Registrations are renewed on an annual basis. Saltzman con-ducts the inspections and issues the permits.
Poseyville residents may contact the town hall to ask to schedule a time to meet with Saltzman. However, Saltzman requested that citizens not take checks to the town hall prior to their inspection, as he is the only one would can issue the approval.
Saltzman also informed them that Posey County Sheriff Deputy Kevin Bratton will become a part-time deputy town marshal.
Mark Seib appeared before the council as a representative of the Posey County Area Plan Commission. He asked for them to ap-prove an amendment to current Poseyville Zoning Ordinance, 77-2. The amendment creates an appeals process for citizens in the event they disapprove of any decisions made by the Area Plan Commission. Council members approved the amendment.
In addition, they also approved a $1,500 expenditure toward the process of updating the zoning books that affect all of the Posey County communities. Seib stated each com-munity has been asked to support the project
to update the books and unify verbiage so that all communities have the same zoning ordinance language.
Larry Robb, Posey County Emergency Management Service Director spoke to the council on the Code Red project. The county has recently received funding for the pro-gram that allows emergency personnel to pinpoint specifi c areas to contact via phone lines during an emergency.
Robb stated that program can be used to notify citizens in a certain area or neigh-borhood that a boil order is in effect, or if a police or fi re incident requires immediate evacuation of a certain area.
He also indicated that as the program continues to develop, they will eventually be able to incorporate cell phones as points of contact. For now, only land-based phone lines are able to be contacted.
The next regular meeting for the Poseyville Town Council will be held Wed., March 16, at 4:30 p.m.

St. Wendel Catholic school has been participating in the Indiana Science Initiative pi-lot this year. All teachers, kin-dergarten through 8th grade attended professional devel-opment over the summer in 2010 to get trained on the science modules and student notebooking techniques. This method of teaching science is based on research that sup-ports the benefi ts of inquiry-based instruction.
This approach to science gets the students engaged and allows them to explore, ask questions and solve problems. Each student has a science notebook in which they keep
organized notes while investi-gating the science topics, just like a real scientist. In their notebooks, they start with a question that involves an en-gaging scenario, they make predictions, come up with ma-terials, develop procedures, make careful observations, discuss their ideas with peers, and analyze the data to come up with new ideas and under-standing. The last part of the notebook includes a conclu-sion where the students state if their evidence supports their hypothesis or prediction and a refl ection where they come up with new questions that they would like to research or in-
vestigate more. While explor-ing and solving problems they are able to develop a deeper understanding of science and the world around them.
The students have been very excited about the science modules. They enjoy all of the hands-on investigations. They continue to improve their notebooking skills, which also dramatically improves writing and processing skills. The science modules come in crates full of all the materials needed to explore and investi-gate certain areas of science. The kindergarteners explored fabrics this year. In this mod-ule they became familiar with fabrics’ properties, discovered what happens when they are tested, and how they interact with other materials, includ-ing water. In second grade stu-dents investigated solids and liquids and how they change.
In this module they observed and compared changes that resulted when different mix-tures were made. They set up dissolving races with sugar and water and observed how sugar particle size and water temperature changed the dis-solving rate. Other classes and grades have investigated mag-netism and electricity, force and motion, space, chemical interactions, and the list goes on.
St. Wendel teachers will be attending another session of professional development over the summer. They will be trained on more grade level modules and advanced notebooking. The students and staff have enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the latest science initiative in Indiana and our looking for-ward to what’s to come for next year.

was celebrated with all stu-dents and staff weary crazy clothes along with some fancy hairdos. On Tuesday, Febru-ary 1, was the PTO Family Skate Party at Skate World. Students enjoyed the party be-cause there was no homework that evening. Wednesday was Neon/Shades Day with every-one dressed in bright colors and wearing sunglasses to protect from the glare.
Thursday was a special day because it was Special Persons Day. Students invited parents, grandparents, and that Special Person in their life to visit. The festivities started with a
Dance Presentation followed by guests visiting the students’ rooms and reviewing displays of student work. Lunch was enjoyed by all and the day was concluded with Mass.
After Mass the school also sponsored a “Blood Drive” with middle school students and parents volunteering. Friday of Catholic Schools Week was fi nalized with a Pep Rally and the Basketball Teams were recognized. The annual Grade 8 vs Staff Vol-leyball Game ended with a tie. Each won one set.

Mount Vernon FFA will celebrate National FFA Week February 19-26, 2011. Infi nite Potential is the theme this year and it embodies all the best about FFA members, from the most recognizable symbol of the organization, the blue corduroy jacket, a symbol of pride and tradition, to the bright future of agricul-ture and the traditions of leadership and hard work. More than half a million members around the nation will participate in National FFA Week activities at the local and state levels.
The focus of National FFA Week is to tell Amer-ica about the great oppor-tunities available for all youth. From its beginnings in 1928 as the Future Farm-ers of America, the Nation-al FFA Organization today reaches out to all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin
Islands. FFA is committed to developing character and leadership skills and preparing members for a lifetime of civic leadership and career success.
As a part of National FFA Week, Mt. Vernon FFA chapter members are planning the following spe-cial events:
• Monday- Ag/FFA T-shirt Day
• Tuesday- State FFA president visit/Kiwanis luncheon speech
• Wednesday- Offi cial Dress Day/Parliamentary Procedure contest
• Thursday- Corn Hole tournament
• Friday- Drive your Tractor to school day/Car-hartt day
Mt. Vernon FFA chap-ter members are the lead-ers of tomorrow. They are well-mannered, perceptive and willing to help others
through community ser-vice such as assisting the Mt. Vernon Garden Club at the post offi ce, coliseum, courthouse, and riverfront with their plantings. They are success-oriented stu-dents who are driven to achieve their goals. FFA gives many young people an important push to con-sider their futures- what kind of people, citizens and professionals they intend to be.
FFA builds leaders, and leaders impact the future.
National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Sup-ply Company and Carhartt as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The Foundation is the fund-raising arm of the National FFA and supports programs by working with sponsors to raise funds for scholar-ships that are awarded to outstanding members.

Head, heart, hands, health: These four words are more commonly known as 4-H. This over 100-year-old tra-dition is our nation's largest youth service organization and is available at local, state, national and international levels to all youth. 4-H helps young people develop and improve valuable life skills such as self-confi dence, leadership, citizenship and communication, in addition to being a fun activity for youth and families alike.
Varying from club to club, the 4-H youth development program is free to join and has a wide variety of activi-ties and events to offer. Lo-cally, 4-H is supported by Purdue Extension-Posey County, as part of the US De-partment of Agriculture, and by trained and approved adult volunteers in the county.
There are many reasons why youth should be encour-aged to join 4-H. Through 4-H, youth are exposed to fun and exciting challenges that bring about education in numerous areas, from rocket science to cake decorat-ing. With up to ten years of
membership possible, young people can participate in fun activities, tours and trips, complete exhibits for the an-nual Posey County 4-H Fair, as well as experience a learn-ing adventure of a decade (or longer) and make memories that literally last a lifetime.
4-H is a program that strives to bring out the best in youth by providing op-portunities for them, assist-ing them in getting involved in their communities, and teaching them the power that they have to make a differ-ence. From a kid's perspec-tive, 4-H is fun. They make new friends, take trips, and learn about things in which they have an interest. As one 4-H member said, “4-H is fun...plus you learn stuff!”
Unfortunately, many peo-ple get the wrong impression that 4-H is just for kids who are raised in the country and have access to animals. Al-though animals are a large part of 4-H, there are hun-dreds of other opportunities for youth who aren't able to or have no interest in ani-mals. To name just a few, the following 4-H projects are
available for youth: Aero-space, Arts & Crafts, Col-lections, Computer, Foods, Family Camping, Flowers, Genealogy, Models, Photog-raphy, Sports, and Weather.
4-H is learning by do-ing while participating in club and community events. Whether from the city or the country, youth can ben-efi t by being 4-H members. Scholarships are available to 4-H’ers who go on to school-ing beyond high school, and the experiences youth gain as 4-H’ers shape their world view for years to come.
To learn more about Posey County 4-H, please plan to attend a 4-H family orienta-tion meeting on Thursday, March 3, 6-7 p.m. at the Posey County Community Center on the fairgrounds, four miles south of New Harmony and twelve miles north of Mt. Vernon on High-way 69. If you cannot attend this informational meeting but would like to learn more about 4-H, please contact Purdue Extension-Posey County by calling 812-838-1331 or emailing [email protected].

On Wednesday Febru-ary 16 the North Posey FFA chapter journeyed to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Ken-tucky. This trip was a re-ward for FFA members who participated in the fruit sales and sold the set quota voted on by the chapter this past November. Student teacher Miss Ritter, Mr. Herren-bruck, and Mr. Wassmer ac-companied the forty mem-bers. Members enjoyed the day by touring the exhibit halls and learning about new technologies in agricul-ture. The chapter would like to thank Ed Moll for driving the charter bus.
The chapter will also be observing National FFA week during February 21-25. On Tuesday, the each member will support their chapter by wearing their FFA jacket to school. Then, on Wednesday, the members
will wear their FFA t-shirts. On Wednesday evening, the novice and regular Chap-ter Meeting Teams will be traveling to Boonville High School for the Career De-velopment contest and try to qualify for Section IV
competition. Thursday, the chapter will prepare a pork chop dinner for the faculty, advisory committee, Board of Education, administrators,
and all FFA members. The chapter will also be host-ing Morgan Dawson, Indi-ana State FFA president, on Thursday. Finally, on Friday morning, each FFA member will have the chance to drive a tractor or piece of equip-
ment to school. Overall, this week gives the chapter and community the chance to observe the importance of agriculture.

North Posey FFA News By Amanda Bender
By Valerie WerkmeisterIt may be diffi cult to think of warm sum-
mer activities like the American Cancer So-ciety North Posey Relay for Life while in the midst of cool temperatures. Nevertheless, teams are asked to begin their plans for this year’s event to be held June 25 and 26 at the North Posey Junior-Senior High School.
North Posey Relay for Life co-chairs Caro-lyn Higginson and Mary Peach are encourag-ing teams to sign up by February 23, even if all the members of the team are undecided. The pacesetter deadline has been set and North Posey has had the honor of winning that award for the past several years.
Teams can sign up online by visiting the website www.relayforlife.org/northposeyin. Last year, there were 24 teams and this year’s goal has been set for 25. If you are thinking about organizing a team or need more infor-mation about how to sign up, contact Higgin-son at 874-3184.
This year’s tailgating theme will surely in-voke lots of creative ideas for teams to build on. Another way to get involved with relay is to save your quarters. The “Got a Quarter, Give a Quarter” campaign is back again this year. Relay organizers would like to see how many quarters can be obtained to line the track.
One of the fi rst fundraisers of the year for relay teams is fast approaching. For the past several years, Relay for Life team members have helped to organize and cook the Posey
County Co-op dinner on February 24. The dinner is held at the Community Center at the Posey County 4-H Fairgrounds.
Preparations for the meal begin the night before at 5 p.m. at St. Francis. Help will be needed to make desserts, wash and peel po-tatoes and make coleslaw. The preparations will begin again at noon on February 24. Team members who would like to or are able to help serve dinner that evening are asked to be at the 4-H Community Center at 5 p.m.
The community is invited to the annual Relay for Life Card Party on Wednesday, March 16 at St. Francis Cafeteria. Anyone who would like to make prize donations or contributions to the live auction held that evening should contact Karen Blaylock at 874 – 2240.
Anyone who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and is facing treatments that will cause hair loss can contact Alice Simmons at Al’s Place in Poseyville at 874-3118. Sim-mons’ beauty salon is a designated wig dona-tion center and she has helped many women fi nd a wig they are comfortable wearing, free of charge. Wig and scarf donations are also accepted. After a wig is donated, Sim-mons arranges for them to be professionally cleaned and will style wigs for recipients.
The next relay for life committee meeting will be held on Monday, March 7, at 6 p.m. in the North Elementary School library. New teams or team captains are encouraged to at-tend.
Teams needed for North Posey Relay

There is a proposal in committee that would drastically cut funding for New Harmony School. This proposal changes the school funding formula so that it cuts funding for small schools. You will be hearing about this proposal and possibly others in the coming days. This is still a proposal and we do not know what will happen but we need to be contact-ing our legislators now.
Senator James Tomes’s phone numbers are 800 382-9467 and 317 232-9400.
Representative Wendy McNamara’s phone num-bers are 800 382-9841 and 317 234-3827.
Email may be the easi-
est way to contact them. Use this to reach both of them. http://www.in.gov/cgi-bin/legislative/contact/contact.pl
The New Harmony School Corporation at this time is fi nancially sound. So New Harmony chil-dren will continue to get a good quality education at New Harmony School
as we work through this. But today please contact your legislators so that the future of New Harmony School is not jeopardized. Tell them about New Har-mony School and ask them NOT to cut funding for New Harmony School!

There are times when many of us like our jobs. However, there are times when we don’t. There is a long list of Posey County people who have not par-ticularly enjoyed their jobs this week.
I enjoy attending sport-ing events and reporting on them. I even enjoy attend-ing many of the local city, town, and county meetings in an effort to be involved and informed as to what is happening in our home areas. I consider it a privi-lege to be able to provide news and sports coverage for readers. I know there are many things reported in the Posey County News that are overlooked by the larger media. That is why we continue to plug away to keep the Posey County News coming to your home each week.
However, I spent parts of the week with a lot of peo-ple with extremely heavy hearts. Beginning with a phone interview with (for-mer Mount Vernon resi-dent) Warrick County Cor-oner Eddie Goff, I realized early this was going to be a tough week. Bad news is never easy to deliver, even by print.
Despite all that was go-ing on, I have to compli-ment all areas of law en-forcement (particularly the Mount Vernon Police De-partment and Posey Coun-ty Sheriff’s Department), the new Posey County Prosecutor and the many unknown individuals who have come into this case. Their handling of the events of the week alone has been exemplary. This was not an easy week for anyone (including families involved) but my hat goes off to the professionalism
maintained by area agen-cies.
First of all, I must ac-knowledge there is no such thing as a “winner” in the death of a four-month-old child or in whatever the outcome could be. Besides
the obvious child victim, there are literally hundreds of other victims. There are hundreds of friends and relatives of the families involved who are hurting with all those who knew the family of the victim and the family of the al-leged perpetrator.
My heart breaks for the family and friends of the small child. How anyone could do such a thing is beyond my wildest com-prehension. I cannot begin to imagine what the fam-ily of the child is going through and unless you have been there yourself, you can’t either. If and when time begins to heal the wounds and the family begins again to be able to sleep, each day when they wake up, the fi rst thing that will enter their mind is the realization of what has happened. Each day when they wake up, the fi rst 30 seconds or so are the only truly peaceful minutes of the day because at the mo-ment of waking, they will not be fully aware of what has happened in their lives. But seconds after waking, reality again sets in. The only peace members of the family will be able to ex-perience is when they wrap
themselves up so deeply in an activity or a project that they can momentarily pass some time without their circumstances dominating their thoughts.
I promise to pray for the families involved. I ask members of our Posey County community to join me in that commitment. There is very little else any of us can do.
The actions of the per-son who committed this unspeakable act has cre-ated another group of vic-tims who did not ask to be involved in a situation such as this.
While I in no way con-done any type of violent behavior such as has been done here, imagine put-ting yourself in the shoes of the family and friends of the person who has been charged with such a heinous crime. They, too, have lost a member of their family as the baby was also related to the family of the man who is alleged to have committed the crime. And, the man who is alleged to have committed the crime is someone’s son, brother, cousin, or uncle. His fam-ily and friends did not con-done nor are they respon-sible for the actions he is alleged to have committed yet they are left to wonder what went wrong.
Loss is present on all sides. The loss of an in-fant child is unimaginable at best. The lack of un-derstanding the “why” is even greater. The person responsible has his own reality to face. His family not only mourns the death of an infant child but the loss of a family member.
Not only have they lost the son of their family member, now they must
TRUTH...STRANGERTHANFICTIONBY DAVEPEARCE
I grew up in what used to be Indian Terri-tory. Of course, if you were born in Ameri-ca, so did you. Mine was the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. The Osage Nation is in the northeast area of Oklahoma and Kansas marks its north-ern border. The town of Ar-kansas City, Kansas, which is where this photograph was taken, is only a short way from Osage County, Oklaho-ma and, more signifi cantly, is close to the Cherokee Strip where the 1889 Land Rush took place.
This 1888 photograph of Alvin P. Hovey posing with seven Osages was brought to me last Monday by Connie Conrad who vol-unteers her time cataloging and preserving Posey County history in the basement of our courthouse.
When Connie gave me the photograph, actually a copy of a copy of the original which is not within Posey County’s pos-session, Peg and I emailed it to our friend, Barbara Pease, who is the curator of the Osage County Historical Museum in Pawhuska, Oklahoma and also a member of the Osage tribe. Barbara is researching her records as Peg and I continue to do our own investigation.
In 1888 Alvin Peterson Hovey (1821-1891) was our Congressman from this dis-trict. He was elected Governor of Indiana in 1888 and took offi ce in 1889. A likely
scenario for Hovey’s appearance in this pic-ture is that as a Congressman he was deal-ing with the Indian Appropriation Act which was used to open vast areas of Indian land to
white settlement.Hovey and Illinois Con-
gressman William McKen-dree Springer (1836-1903), who was born in Indiana, were interested in Indian land. Hovey wanted the land for Union soldiers who had served in the Civil War and
had not, in his opinion, been adequately compensated for their service.
Springer and Hovey both served in Con-gress in 1887 and 1888 and Springer was one of the main architects of the Indian Ap-propriation Act which was based on Presi-dent Lincoln’s 1862 Homestead Act.
In addition to Hovey, I have particular in-terest in the Osage named Ed Big Horse who is second from the reader’s right in the back row. Two of my good friends from my child-hood were Charley and Aaron Big Horse. They were fi rst cousins and Charley could have been the model for the Ed Big Horse in the picture. I have not as yet had time to con-tact either Charley or Aaron, but I speculate Ed is their great grandfather.
Well, mysteries about history are always fun and often enlightening. Thanks, Connie, I hope we can all learn more about and from this unexpected basement treasure.
FOR THERECORD
BY PAMROBINSON
Just a couple of weekends ago, I was the envy of my friends. Now, I’m the butt of their good-natured jokes.
On Thursday afternoon, Feb. 10, I checked into The Social House, a beautiful remodeled Victorian home, now serving as a bed and breakfast, in Carmi, Ill. With my husband, daughter, and boss’s blessing, I was just settling in for a four-day self-directed writing retreat.
My second-story queen room was awash with sunlight from the windows on three walls. On the south side of the room was a comfortable sitting area. On the north side, I set up a makeshift desk with a little table and plugged in my laptop. I was living the writer’s dream of solitude and serenity. I hugged myself and smiled—breathing in, present moment; breathing out, wonderful moment.
Then, I sat down to write. I composed a couple of sentences on my word proces-sor and was alarmed at how loud the keys sounded when I tapped them. The tapping was the only sound in the room, and it wasn’t rhythmic. No problem, I thought, I’ll connect to Wi-Fi (like I said, the house is a remodeled Victorian) and tune in to Pandora radio. With Zen instrumental mu-sic playing ever so softly and sweetly, I started typing again.
I stopped after writing a couple more sen-tences. A vague uneasiness swept over me. Something more was missing. I pondered for a few minutes before I realized the TV provided background noise when I wrote at home. No problem, I thought, I’ll just switch on the cable set (OK, the house is a modern Victorian) and let shows run while
I write. I stopped dead in my tracks: Muba-rak hadn’t resigned as president of Egypt.
I backed toward the edge of the bed and watched the crowd scene. After seeing the rest of the news, I decid-ed to read for the remainder of the evening. I fell asleep with the book on top of my chest. My self-directed writer’s retreat had quickly
sunk from the sublime to the ridiculous.No problem, I thought on Friday morning,
I know just what to do today. I connected to Wi-Fi and tuned into Pandora, switched on the cable set to the movie channel and ran to my seat in front of my makeshift desk before I could look at the screen. I sweat blood to compose a half dozen pages when I heard my daughter Jessica call, “Mom?” It was time for my dinner date with her and my husband Jim.
Over dinner, I knew what I’d really been missing. Jim and Jessica walk freely in and out of my dining room writing space at home and check on my progress. They call to me from the adjacent family room to let me know when I’m missing some-thing really important on TV. That Friday, for example, Mubarak had decided to leave offi ce after all. I could deny it no longer: I was homesick. After dinner, I announced my intentions to pack everything up again and go back home.
For our anniversary this year, Jim and I will go back together to The Social House and stay in the king suite. Some experienc-es are just meant to be shared.
As Jessica and Jim helped me load my things in my car, Jim said, “I thought you wanted to live the writer’s dream.”
“I am,” I replied. “I am.”
endure the endless hours forthcoming in court. And while their relative is still breathing and can talk, he has been lost, for all prac-tical purposes, as a mem-ber of their family and as a member of society. Both families will be forced to sit in a court of law and hear the grim facts of the case over and over again, as an attorney looks for a glimmer of hope or a dis-crepancy that might al-low the slightest hope for whomever it is who com-mitted this act.
Public servants are paid to do a job. Many times, that job is more than is bargained for. It often is more than the average days work. It is startling.
It is devastating, disturb-ing and shocking; but law enforcement, hospital workers, coroners and the many unnamed workers continue on.
They often suffer from secondary trauma. A trau-ma that is real and just as devastating as being a part of the actual events. Their hearts are broken as well. They, too, will be forced to relive the details of their fi ndings over and over during the trial phase. Even the hospital and am-bulance staffs will have to fi nd a way to forget the events of this week. While I realize “it is all in a day’s work,” in Posey County, it was a very atypical day, thank goodness.
Both families (extended families and friends) have a long road ahead of them. While a funeral is the fi rst step in healing for the fam-ily and friends of the child, the family of the charged individual will not (at least not now) be allowed to ex-perience that fi rst chapter of closure.
Please remember there is a long list of unwilling “victims” in this circum-stance. Regardless of the outcome, there will be no winner. Everyone is a loser when there is a crime such as this. Please be proud and grateful to the public servants who have and will continue to do their jobs. It’s a tough way to make a living.
Events of the week create a myriad of ‘victims’
There’s just no place like home, even if you are living the dream

By Dave PearceThe North Posey Vikings felt it was critical
to get off to a good start on Friday night in a game against an upset-minded New Harmony Rappite squad. To say they were able to do it is a gross understatement. When the dust had settled, the Vikings had moved to 15-3 and the Rappites fell to 11-8.
The homestanding Vikings used a tenacious full-court press and combined that with a hot shooting night to turn in one of the most domi-nating performances ever in the North Posey high School gymnasium history.
The Vikings scored the fi rst 10 points of the contest before the Rappites were able to put a score on the board. But the Vikings, a much taller and obviously more talented team were relentless in their pressure and by half-time, had rolled to a 41-7 lead.
The smaller Rappites just had no answers for the Vikings who are enjoying one of their best seasons. As a matter of fact, second-year head basketball coach Matt Wadsworth rolled to his 50th win in a total of three years in varsity coaching against the Rappites.
Everyone on both benches saw ample action as Wadsworth called off the dogs early in the second half and rotated members of his var-sity team and reserve team throughout the re-mainder of the contest, fi nishing the game with some freshmen on the fl oor. New Harmony did not fi eld a reserve team for the night.
Viking Eric Wargel, the tallest player on the fl oor, had a night he will not soon forget as he showed a variety of moves and an outside shooting touch on his way to a 22-point per-formance. His night was highlighted by a mid-court steal and subsequent dunk by the lanky senior.
Following the dunk, the 6-foot-6 senior found himself wide open in the corner and bur-ied a 3-point shot and also enjoyed a couple of driving baskets and at least one tip-in.
But the Vikings were not the only big win-
ners on the night. The big winner was Kathy Stevens of Mount Vernon, Ind. Stevens was the winner of the North Posey/Expressway Auto World vehicle raffl e. The proceeds from the vehicle raffl e will go to support North Posey High School Athletics, Junior High Athletic and Academic teams.
Despite the combinations, the Vikings were not outscored in any quarter as the Vikings rolled to an 80-30 win.
“We got to see how some of our younger kids would react in a varsity situation,” Wad-sworth said of the contest.
It was a big night for the Vikings in other respects, as well, as members of the fi rst Pocket Athletic Conference basketball championship team from North Posey, the 1974 team, was honored prior to the contest. Coaches Bob Gen-til and Bud Schnarr were also on hand as was athletic director Leonard Mauck.
Wargel led the team with 22 points while Jourdan Cox event played a little in the post on his way to 11 points. Nick Scheller fi nished with nine while Cooper Martin had eight and Colton Motz and Ungetheim each had seven. Dillon Davenpost dished out a large number of assists and scored fi ve while Cameron Calvert fi nished with four and Austin Bender had a 3-pointer. Nick Neidig and Wes Harness fi n-ished with two apiece.
For the Rappites, Kyle Whitmore fi nished with eight while Andrew McDaniel and Kris Scarafi a had fi ve apiece. Levi Hoehn and Blayne Worman had four apiece. Mathews had two and Lange one.
New Harmony Coach Jim Little indicated that his team had one of those nights that teams sometimes have.
“I remember getting off the bus and I re-member getting onto the bus,” Little said with a smile of the outing. “I refuse to remember any-thing else other than some woman won a car.” New Harmony’s Blayne Worman found himself in a tight spot Friday night between

By Steve JoosFifteen of the 27 state qualifi ers out of the Evansville
Semistate made it to the second day of the Indiana High School Athletic Association state wrestling g meet over the weekend in Indianapolis.
Unfortunately for Mount Vernon, neither of the Wildcat representatives were among them.
Both Wildcat qualifi ers fell in their fi rst round matches Friday at Conseco Fieldhouse, as 130-pounder Jon Hoehn fell to Collin Crume of Jimstown 12-3 and Bryon Konrath lost a 6-3 decision to Justin Kieffer of Indianapolis Roncalli at 135 pounds.
Crume went on to take state runner-up honors, losing to Danville’s undefeated Neal Molloy 8-1 in that title bout.
Hoehn closed out his season with a 40-5 record, while Konrath fi nished at 35-6.

By Steve JoosReid Mobley did pretty well at Saturday’s Castle Sectional
boys’ swim meet.As for the rest of the Mount Vernon boys’ swim team? Well, not so much.The Wet Wildcats basked in the glow of Mobley’s blue
ribbon performance in the 100-yard backstroke, but couldn’t overcome a rough night in the preliminaries and 20-point defi -cit at the diving boards and came in second in the meet with 232 points, well behind the fi rst-place Knights (372) and just less than 20 in front of third-place Memorial.
For a brief time after the diving competition, the Tigers were even slightly ahead of the Wet Cats for the number-two spot.
“We had some good swims (on Saturday),” coach Larry Zoller said. “We had some good times and some personal bests. But we ran into trouble in the preliminaries. That kind of surprised us, even though we told the kids about the competi-tion. There were a number of teams that had one or two good swimmers and they each did well, which kept us from scoring better.”
Thursday’s preliminary round may have been the tougher one for the Wet Cats, according to Zoller. The team did not swim as well in the preliminaries and that may affected their positions, while dropping them back.
“We bounced back in the fi nals and swam well,” Zoller added. “But we just didn’t have enough on Thursday.”
The brightest spot for Mount Vernon was its junior in the 100-backstroke.
Mobley, who did perform well in the preliminaries, broke the school record and the Castle pool record with a time of :53.04 in the race, knocking nearly a second off the old mark of :53.96, set by Castle’s Keneau Stevenson last year.
“I did pretty good, I guess,” Mobley said. “I stayed under-water mostly. My strategy was to go at it in the second half and I did it.”
Mobley thanked his family and friends for their support over the course of the season, especially his girlfriend, Valerie McKinney.
In addition to the backstroke, Mobley was second in the 200-individual medley and swam on a Wet Wildcat 200-medley re-lay squad which just missed the automatic qualifying time for state despite a second-place fi nish.
However, the team of Reid Mobley, Wade Mobley, Jacob Poole and Jordan Wooten made it to Indianapolis with an at-large bid after posting that 1:39.62 mark (seven-tenths of a sec-ond shy of the automatic qualifying time).
Zoller was pleased with both Mobley’s time and the efforts of the relay team, which shaved more than four seconds off its preliminary time despite settling for runner-up honors in the fi nals.
As for where Mobley might place this weekend at the In-diana-Purdue natatorium, Zoller feels that he has a legitimate shot at fi nishing in the top 16.
Umm, barring any surprises.North was a distant fourth in the meet with 140 points, while
Reitz rounded out the top fi ve with 116. Rounding out the fi eld were Mater Dei (86), Harrison (77) Boonville (58), Bosse (51), Gibson Southern (32) and Central (140).

The Mount Vernon High School girls basketball team held their end-of-season awards banquet this week. The team fi nished the season with the most wins ever in a season 15-6. Major award winners are Lauren Stemple, Newcomer of the Year; Carynn Koch, Most Valuable Player; and Jenny Koch, Hustle Award. Seniors, Koch and Koch, were also awarded Indiana Academic All-State and Big 8 Conference All-Academic awards.
There were plenty of things for which to be proud that happened in 2010-11 for the Mount Vernon girls’ basketball team.
The 15-6 mark registered by the Lady Wildcats was the best in the program’s his-tory, while they went undefeated at home and broke into the state rankings for the fi rst time ever. The Lady Wildcats were also 4-2 in the Big Eight Conference and just missed con-tending for a conference championship.
Those accomplishments were recognized at the team’s banquet and awards ceremony Wednesday night school cafeteria.
Coach Steve Mitchell reviewed the team’s season and presented awards with the help of assistant coaches Keith Oeth and Byron Sanders.
“We had one of the best seasons in the his-tory of the program,” Mitchell said. “This was a great group of girls to work with.”
The won-loss record and perfect season on the home court were major highlights of the
season, Mitchell said, as was the chance to see the team develop over the course of the year. Coming up short in a number of key contests was among the low spots.
“I was disappointed with our showing in the Sectional,” the coach said. “It was sad that we played well enough to win defensive-ly (the Lady Cats wee eliminated by Gibson Southern 33-23), but we just couldn’t get our shots to fall.”
There were also key Big Eight Conference losses at Mount Carmel and Jasper which Mitchell thought the team could have won, but just one or two mistakes cost them.
Better shooting and fi nding ways to win those close games are things next season’s Lady Wildcats are going to have to work on, according to the coach.
Varsity letters went to Carynn Koch, Jenny Koch, Megan Randall, Amy Seifert, Lauren

EVANSVILLE COURIER & PRESS | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2011 | COURIERPRESS.COMA8
SHARON COHENASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Rahm Emanuel, candidate for mayor of Chicago, stood be-fore the microphone in the cavernous warehouse and in a somber voice, announced that he was finally getting a chance to publicly utter a four-letter word.
He paused a second for comic timing, then said the word: “JOBS.”
“There,” he said, “I al-ready feel better.”
The joke was Emanuel’s nod to his reputation as ‘Rahmbo,’ the bad boy of the White House who has served two presidents as a tough, smart and highly effective political operative
But in the mayoral race, the swagger and hard edges have given way to a calm, almost serene candidate whose voice can drop to a near whisper. He confi dently talks local issues — elevated train lines, bike paths and after-school programs — re-fuses to be goaded and has harnessed his drive for City Hall into a $13 million jug-gernaut that has left rivals
choking on his dust.Emanuel heads into
Tuesday’s contest with a round-the-clock loop of
TV and radio commercials featuring effusive praise from his two former bosses — Bill Clinton and President
Barack Obama — endorse-ments from the city’s two major newspapers and a decent shot at winning more than 50 percent of the vote, which would prevent an April 5 runoff. The winner will replace Mayor Richard M. Daley, who is not seeking a seventh term.
So is Rahm Emanuel the one-time ballet student, the amiable guy who greets el commuters with a friendly slap on the back and con-fesses to kids he was bullied as a boy? Or is he the foul-mouthed terminator lam-pooned on “Saturday Night Live,” the warrior who, Obama once joked, had adapted Machiavelli’s “The Prince” for dance with “a lot of kicks below the waist”?
Emanuel has a ready answer, knowing his take-no-prisoners style is what everyone talks about.
“Am I strong and de-termined and tough and vigorous?” he asked in a recent interview. “Yeah. I have a reputation because I have fought very tough battles against the NRA, against Wall Street, against the insurance companies,
specifically on items that have delivered reform. And two presidents asked me to serve them because I’ve never been scared to take on tough assignments on behalf of the changes they wanted to bring.”
Among three main oppo-nents, Gery Chico, a lawyer with a gold-plated resume — his past jobs include Dal-ey’s chief of staff, president of the Chicago school board and the park district — has proved the strongest com-petitor.
He’s raised millions and been endorsed by several aldermen, including one of the city’s most powerful, as well as police and fi refi ght-ers’ unions.
The two others are City Clerk Miguel del Valle, who has won support among progressives, and former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun, who made history in 1992 by being the fi rst black woman elected to the Sen-ate. A group of black leaders endorsed her as a unity can-didate but her campaign has been marred by gaffes.
All three main rivals have tried to cut into Emanuel’s
whopping lead in the polls by putting him on the defen-sive.
They’ve tweaked his Hol-lywood fundraising (Steven Spielberg is among his con-tributors). They’ve tried to cast him as an outsider who doesn’t understand Chica-go’s problems (Emanuel was born in the city, but at-tended New Trier West High School on the affl uent North Shore.)
And they’ve questioned his temperament, especially Moseley Braun, who in one forum, repeatedly tried to get him to address a crude remark he’d supposedly made to an aide. He didn’t take the bait.
Emanuel has managed to remain above the fray. When he appeared on the South Side to press the need for more fresh food groceries in the inner city and a reporter asked him to comment on a fl ap involving Moseley Braun and another candidate, he swatted it away:
“I will attack the prob-lems facing the city of Chi-cago,” he replied evenly. “I will not attack the other candidates.”

PETERSBURG, Ky. — A progressive blogger and an-other man who tried to go to a special event at Ken-tucky’s Creation Museum said they were denied ad-mission because they told security that they were a same-sex couple.
The men bought tick-ets online for a Date Night event at the privately fund-ed Petersburg museum, which shows visitors a lit-eral interpretation of the Bible depicting how the world was created in six days about 6,000 to 10,000 years ago.
Both museum offi cials and the men denied ad-mission agree that they weren’t let in and not re-imbursed the $71.90 cost for the tickets. They differ on whether it was clear be-forehand that men without female companions would be turned away.
The event included din-ner, a talk from museum founder Ken Ham about love and the biblical view of marriage and musical performances.
One of the men who was denied admission, Joe Sonka, is the writer of a blog called Barefoot and Progressive. He has previously criticized the museum and its founder, as well as the idea of giv-ing public tax breaks for a proposed theme park the museum’s backers want to build based on the biblical
story of Noah’s ark.Sonka wrote in an e-
mail to The Associated Press that neither he nor the other man denied entry is gay. He said he was curi-ous to hear the museum’s founder speak and if they would admit a same-sex couple.
Museum spokesman Mark Looy told The Ken-tucky Enquirer that the promotional material for the Date Night made it clear the event was for het-erosexual couples only.
“The message was one of Christian marriage, which the Bible teaches is between a man and a wom-an,” Looy told the news-paper. He noted that the museum welcomes all visi-tors during regular hours. Sonka said he has visited the museum twice before without incident.
Looy defended the de-cision not to allow the two men in and cited a blog post that Sonka wrote in January, encouraging read-ers to raise money to send a “fl amboyantly gay” couple to the event.
“We are not going to allow anyone to come to a private event and be disruptive,” Looy told the newspaper. “It’s not fair to the other people who also paid to attend the event. We welcome anyone to come to the Creation Museum during regular business hours because we want all people to be exposed to our message.”

CROWN POINT, Ind. — Jurors in some Lake County cases won’t get free lunches while serving because bud-get cuts have forced judges to halt a practice of using public money to feed them.
The changes affect Lake Superior Civil Divi-sion Courts, but not jurors serving in the better-funded Lake Circuit and Lake Crim-inal Courts.
Chief Superior Court Judge John Pera said he is frustrated and embarrassed by the move to end lunch payments, a change that is the result of 30 percent spending cuts over the last two years. The civil courts already are at a disadvan-tage with other courts that receive revenue from tax and user fees that aren’t shared, The Times in Mun-ster reported.
“We struggled long and hard over every penny in our budget to see where we can cut and still provide the same level of service the public expects,” Pera said.
Pera said he hopes the County Council will ap-prove using fees lawyers pay to the clerk’s offi ce for online court transactions to restore lunch privileges for civil juries.
In the meantime, at least two attorneys took pity on jurors recently and decided to pay for their lunch them-selves.
Hobart, Ind., lawyer Kevin Marshall said he and an attorney on the opposing side in an insurance dispute asked Pera for permission to buy jurors pizza and sand-wiches during the four days they heard evidence in a trial in Civil Division Judge Ger-ald Svetanoff’s courtroom at the Gary courthouse.
“This is making jurors in civil cases disgruntled,” Marshall said of the lunch policy change.
The lawyers each con-tributed $100, but jurors weren’t told who was foot-ing the lunch bill.
Svetanoff said the attor-neys volunteered to pick up the tab because it would be more effi cient for the trial.

By Steve JoosThe road has not been
good to the New Harmony boys’ basketball team this season, and last week no exception.
One night after a county battle at North Posey where they were blown out of the
county, the Rappites trav-eled to Illinois Saturday, where they fell behind early and never recovered, dropping a 65-47 decision to Red Hill at Bridgeport.
“We haven’t played well on the road all season,” coach Jim Little said. “We
have been fl at as well.”Digging big holes that
the team can’t get out of has been another problem this season and that was the case again Saturday, as the Salukis blew out to a 16-2 fi rst quarter lead. Red Hill outscored the Rappites by
just four points after that fi rst period.
But at North Posey, at one point, the score was 32-2 and was 41-7 at the half.
At Red Hill, a drive to the bucket by Kyle Whit-more and the fi rst of Blayne Worman’s four three-points loosened things up a bit for the Rappites in the second quarter, as they outscored Red Hill 14-10 over the next eight minutes, but still trailed 26-16 at halftime.
New Harmony closed to within fi ve in the third quarter before going into what Little called “one of our ‘I look like I have never played basketball’ modes.”
Red Hill pulled away from there, opening a 49-29 lead after three quarters.
For the second night in a row, the Rappites were up against a taller team, Little added.
Whitmore really stepped up his game, Little said, pacing the Rappites with 16 points. Worman put in 15 tallies, while Andrew McDaniel scored 14 to go along with three assists and nine rebounds. Levi Hoehn scored two points, while Kris Scarfi a added one.
Four Salukis hit double fi gures, led by Robert Young’s 16 points. Camer-on Lewis added 13 tallies, Andrew Jones 12 and Cody Lawson 11.
The Rappites take an 11-9 record into tonight’s game with Day School in what is not only a home game, but is also senior night. Little is hoping the Rappites can put things together against the Eagles.

On Saturday evening, the game was not quite as lop-sided but the outcome was the same as the Vikings trav-eled to Tell City to take on the Marksmen.
The Marksmen, who have been the marked with incon-sistency this season, were celebrating their homecom-ing and Wadsworth warned his players after the New Harmony game that they would have to be ready to play. A win over the Vikings on homecoming night would be quite a jewel in the crown of the Marksmen during an up-and-down season.
But on Saturday, there would be no jewel for the Marksmen.
After a slow start that found the Vikings trailing 9-8 after the fi rst period.
But the Vikings turned up the defense and found the range in the second period, outscoring the Marksmen 20-9 to take a 28-18 lead into half-time.
As Wadsworth teams seem to have formed a tendency to do, they slowly pulled fur-ther away in the third period, outscoring the Marksmen
19-14, taking a 47-32 lead into the fi nal period.
Using a smart but deliber-ate offense, the Vikings held onto the ball and took only good shots in the fi nal period to again outscore the Vikings 12-9 in the fi nal period to claim the 59-41 win.
Davenport came up big for the Vikings as the Marksmen had no one with the quick-ness to stay with the senior guard. He fi nished with 17 points, hitting 13-of-14 from the free throw line. But an evenly divided supporting cast found Scheller, Wargel, and Cox with eight points apiece while Neidig and Calvert had six apiece and Martin had four.
The Vikings held Tell City’s big gun Kevin Flan-nagan to only seven points as Weedman and Kohnert led the scoring for the Marks-men with 12 and 11 points, respectively.
The Vikings will return to action this weekend on Fri-day night at Gibson Southern in the regular season fi nale. The Vikings drew a bye in Sunday’s sectional draw and play with winner of South
Spencer and Mater Dei in Friday evening’s fi rst game at Boonville Gym. Forest Park, who also drew a bye, will face the winner of the Tell City-Perry Central game in the second game of the evening. The fi nal will be at 7 p.m. on Saturday.
The Rappites will get a sectional preview on Tuesday as they will face Evansville Day School, the same team they drew in the Tecumseh Sectional. Mount Vernon will face Memorial with the “winner” to face host Princ-eton in Class 3A action.

Stemple, Jade Dixon, Jacey Ritzert and manager Jenny Lyke.
Reserve letters were presented to Char-lotte Roberts, Rachel Cash, Shawana Clark, Erica Winiger, Shelby Ritzert, Brittney Wil-son, Bailee Schelhorn, Cheyenne Strobel, Allyson Blunt, Ellen Foster and manager Heather Bremer. Strobel also received a freshman numeral.
Carynn Koch was named the team’s most valuable player, while Jenny Koch received the hustle award and Stemple was named newcomer of the year.
Jenny Koch and Carynn Koch were the only seniors from a larger group to have stuck withy the program four all four years and that effort was recognized by the coach.
“Our seniors deserve a lot of credit for staying all four years and helping turn this program around,” Mitchell said. “They were great leaders and as fi ne people as you’d
ever want to meet. I wish (the seniors) the best in their future endeavors.”
The returning players will provide a strong nucleus for next season, along with key members of this season’s 13-6 reserve team, Mitchell went on to say, adding that fi lling the gap left by the graduations of Carynn and Jenny Koch will be a challenge and a priority, but overall the future is bright.
“We want to fi nd ways to win the close games,” the coach went on to say. “We want to play well in our conference and go unde-feated at home again.
One things that the team will have to work on is shooting the ball, which proved to be the team’s downfall in a number of their close games this season, especially the Sectional loss to Gibson Southern.
The girls’ hoop program at Mount Vernon showed a lot of strength this season and now the returning players have to keep the mo-mentum going, Mitchell said.

By Steve JoosThe Mount Vernon boys’
basketball team played one bad quarter to open the week and came up just a little bit short to end it.
Mount Vernon nearly came all the way back and actually led for a while in Friday’s Senior night battle with vis-iting Reitz, only to see that lead get away twice as the Cats dropped a 58-55 deci-sion to the Panthers when a Jacob Steinhart three-point try skipped off the basket in the closing seconds.
That followed an 88-62 shellacking at the hands of Harrison where the visiting Warriors pulled away after a fairly close fi rst half.
The second loss especially dismayed the Mount Vernon coach.
“This was a lot more com-petitive game,” coach Gary Wilsey said. “It was defi -nitely a lot more fun. I just wish more than anything that we could have gotten those fi ve seniors a win on senior night. That’s what we’d been talking about all week. We dedicated this game to our seniors because someday we’ll be seniors as well.”
Wilsey was pleased with Mount Vernon’s execution, even on the last play, ex-plaining that the Wildcats got the look they wanted, but couldn’t capitalize on it, al-though Steinhart came close.
“We really didn’t think that play would work that way,” the coach said. “We thought they would jump out on him and got after him that the curl would be open for
one of the screeners to get a layup. But we got the initial screen open.”
Steinhart had the shot and launched it with seconds re-maining in the game, but it hit the rim and skipped off. Reitz got the rebound and got it down court, where Matt Gray was fouled with a tenth of a second left on the clock. The senior guard converted one free throw to make the fi nal score 58-55.
Gray had put the Panthers up by two points by drain-ing a three-pointer with 11.2 ticks left on the clock after a seesaw fourth quarter.
The Cats had rallied from a seven-point fi rst quarter defi cit to take a nine-point lead with 2:41 to go in the third chapter, but Reitz went on an 8-1 run to close out the period and cut the lead to 44-42. After Reitz pulled
to within a point 23 seconds into the fi nal period, Mount Vernon stretched things back to 48-43 on buckets by Stein-hart and Sam Johnson.
The Panthers then reeled off fi ve straight points to tie the game before the two teams started basically trad-ing leads, fi rst with a pair of three-pointers, then on a driving layup by Steinhart, which was answered by Alex Mitchell from long range. A rebound bucket by Steinhart gave the edge back to the Wildcats before Gray’s three-point shot rolled around and went in with 11.2 seconds left in the game.
Taking care of the ball in the half-court was a key to the comeback which put Mount Vernon into that posi-tion, Wilsey said.
“The press was working,” Wilsey said. “We got layups
out of the press, but the thing is when you don’t execute the offense, the press doesn’t work. The press runs hot and cold anyhow and when you can score off of it, you have more bounce. When it’s after a turnover or after a missed free throw, you don’t have the same bounce.”
In short, when the Cats were executing offensively, the press was working. They also switched from a 2-3 zone to a 1-3-1 after the fi rst quarter and that was more ef-fective.
Reitz closed out the fi rst quarter on a 6-2 run which gave the Panthers a 16-9 lead, then they made it 18-9 at the outset of the second chapter on a bucket by Evan Brinkmeyer.
Brian Koch started things for Mount Vernon by con-verting a pair of free throws,
then Steinhart buried a three-pointer to make the score 19-14. Brinkmeyer answered, but Mount Venron came back with a 7-2 run of its own, cut-ting the lead to 23-21.
The gap stayed at two points until halftime, with Aaron Straub pulling the Cats to within 27-25 on a putback as the second quar-ter expired.
The Wildcats then scored the fi rst six tallies of the second half, as buckets by Koch, Andy Henshaw and Steinhart put the Cats in front 31-27. Brinkmeyer’s trey cut the lead to 31-30 and the two teams traded baskets until the Wildcats reeled off another seven unanswered tallies to lead 39-32.
Brinkmeyer’s layup cut the lead to 39-34, but Straub connected from 10 feet out and Steinhart scored off a steal to open a 43-34 bulge.
Wilsey wasn’t sure if the Wildcats ran out of gas as much as they are still learn-ing how to win, adding that the team continues to im-prove.
Steinhart led the team with 20 points, while Koch and Johnson each put in 10. Straub added fi ve points, Ja-son Stemple four and Hen-shaw two.
Brinkmeyer scored a game-high 23 points to lead the Panthers, while Gray added 12 on the strength of four three-pointers.
Reitz also took the reserve game 68-50.
Nine was a popular num-ber for the reserve Cats, as Jevin Redman, Collin Var-ner, Bryce Newman and Tyler Ritzert each led the team with nine points. River VanZant added seven tallies, Craig Dick four and J.T. Sil-vers three.
The Wildcats and Harri-son played a close fi rst quar-ter Tuesday night, Straub opened the second chapter with a bucket that put the Cats up 21-19, and then the visiting Warriors promptly blew past Mount Vernon. Harrison went on an 11-0 run to take a 30-21 lead, the Wildcats pulled back to within six points and then the Warriors scored they last six points of the half to take a 40-26 lead into the locker room at halftime enroute to an 86-62 thumping.
Despite the one-sided loss, Wilsey saw some positives for his team.
“I’m not happy with the fi nal score,” Wilsey said. “And it may sound crazy, but a I saw a few good things to-Wildcat sophomore Brian Koch goes up over his Harrison defender during Tues-

Former Mount Vernon boys’ basketball standout Jake Smith had a good game for the Graceland University Yellowjackets Thurs-day night, but he probably liked Tuesday’s game better.
After all, Graceland won that one.Smith did score 19 points and pull down 14
rebounds Thursday, but the Jackets dropped an 85-76 decision to visiting Culver-Stockton at Lamoni, Iowa. He also handed out two as-sists, blocked a shot and pulled off a steal, but it wasn’t enough as the Yellowjackets dropped to 12-16 on the season, 7-11 in the Heart of America Athletic Conference.
On Tuesday, Smith scored nine points and cleared fi ve caroms in the Yellowjackets’ 77-
74 overtime win at Benedictine College. Smith also had two steals and an assist for
the Jackets in the HAAC win, which followed on the heels of two very tough losses.
Smith was plagued by foul trouble in the Yellowjackets’ recent 95-82 loss at Linden-woood.
He scored 23 points to lead Graceland, but played only 25 minutes before fouling out. Smith cleared a pair of rebounds and had an assist while leading the four Graceland play-ers in double fi gures.
Smith also scored 17 points, handed out two assists and grabbed nine caroms in Grace-land’s game with Mid-America Nazarene, but the Jackets still came up short 88-72.
Smith has double-double, Graceland wins game

night.”For the better part of the fi rst half, Mount Vernon hung
around against a quicker Warriors team which needed not one, but two big runs in the second quarter to break open the contest.
“We cut it to six points,” the coach ssaid. “And then af-ter that, we just kind of had some breakdowns and we had some opportunities to convert, and for whatever reason, they backfi red.”
Mount Vernon had some easy shots in that time period, in-cluding good inside looks from Straub and Steinhart. Wilsey was pleased with the effort, adding that the team tried to come out with a lot of energy, but didn’t get a lot of breaks against a quick, hot-shooting Warrior contingent.
“That was a buzzsaw that we ran into from about that midway through the second quarter on,” the coach said.
The Cats were sharing the ball in the fi rst quarter, but once Harrison started pressing in the second quarter, the Cats started having trouble the coach added.
Harrison scored the fi rst fi ve points of the game, only to have the Wildcats battle back to take an 11-10 lead on a layup by Koch midway through the fi rst quarter. Grant Chamber-lain put the Warriors back in front with a bucket, but Stein-hart answered with a trey to give it back to the Wildcats.
The back-and-forth continued throughout the opening chapter, with Chamberlain answering Koch’s layup to forge a 19-19 tie at the break.
Straub restored the Mount Vernon lead at the outset of the second period, but that would the last Wildcat lead of the night. Yawan Wolfolk tied the game with a 12-footer and that sparked an 11-0 run that gave Harrison a 30-21 lead. Straub snapped that streak with 4:03 to play in the quarter.
A driving layup by Stemple and Steinhart free throws cut the lead to 32-26, but the Warriors went back to work with Chamberlain doing most of the damage
The senior guard poured in 29 points with four three-pointers, even though the Mount Venron coaches were more concerned with Ernie Duncan (who didn’t hit double fi g-ures).
Wilsey was pleased with Stemple’s fl oor leadership and Goebel’s job with the junk defenses the Cats threw at Dun-can and the Warriors.
The Cats focused on Duncan, but Harrison’s quickness was a big difference.
“They were extremely quick,” Wilsey said. “But I saw us get on the fl oor tonight and mix it up. We’re just using these games (the last four of the regular season) as learning tools for the Sectional.”
The Cats are trying, but they want to show their prospec-tive opposition that they are ready to play and that they will hang in there. They showed that in the second half, as Harri-son pushed the lead to 59-32 midway through the third quar-ter and Mount Vernon closed out that period with an 11-2 run to make the score 61-43 entering the fi nal period.
Wilsey complimented each member of the team for effort, especially Johnson, Dick and Koch.
“There were some plusses out there tonight,” the coach said. “I hate moral victories, but there were some good things out there tonight.”
Koch scored 14 points in three quarters to share team-high honors with Steinhart. Johnson added nine points, Straub eight and Goebel fi ve, while Stemple put in four. McNa-mara scored three points, while VanZant and Dick each put in two. Paris added one.
Duncan was the focus of Mount Vernon’s box-and-one defense, which left the rest of the Warriors outside the box to burn the Cats with 10 three-pointers. Yawan Wolfolk pumped in 17 points, while Cole Shafer added 13, in addi-tion to Chamberlain’s output.
Harrison also took the reserve game 50-41, despite 15 points from Ritzert and 10 from Newman. VanZant added seven and Drake McNamara three, while Redman, Dick and Varner each put in two points.
The reserve Cats split their recent conference games, beat-ing Mount Carmel 45-39, while losing to Jasper 51-46.
Against Gibson Southern, Newman scored 14 points and McNamara 12, while Ritzert chipped in seven points, Van-Zant fi ve, Redman four and Dick three.
Ritzert scored 14 and McNamara 12 in Mount Vernon’s loss to Jasper. Redman added seven points and Newman fi ve, while Varner and Dick chipped in four tallies each. VanZant scored two points.

Win one game and play for a Sectional champion-ship.
That’s what two Posey County boys’ basketball teams have the opportunity to do when the 2011 edition of “Hoosier Hysteria” gets underway with Sectional play early next month.
Both New Harmony and North Posey drew byes, according to the Sectional draw held Sunday at Indi-ana High School Athletic Association headquarters in Indianapolis.
The Rappites and Evans-ville Day School Eagles will play in the fi rst game of the Class 1A Tecumseh Sectional, set for Friday, March 4, while the Vikings will take on either Mater Dei or South Spencer in the Semifi nals of the Class 2A Sectional at Boonville, also on March 4. Mater Dei
is hosting that Sectional, with some help from North Posey.

The 8th annual benefi t dinner will be held on Sat-urday, Feb. 26, 2011, as the Ribeyre Gym Restoration Group (RGRG) presents the 2011 “Ribeyes for Ribeyre” Dinner and Auction. This benefi t event will be held at Ribeyre Gymnasium in Historic New Harmony and boasts an interest for the entire family.
Doors open at 5 p.m. Rib-eye steaks will be cooked on-site and served with our famous salad, baked po-tato and dessert; hamburg-ers and hotdogs will also be available. The men of Wilson Auction-Reality, all veterans of many athletic events in this gym, will conduct a traditional live auction beginning at 6:30 p.m. There will be a variety of items that are sure to ap-peal to all ages.
The Ribeyre Gymnasium project is established with a nine year history that in-cludes national recognition as the recipient of the Na-tional Rural Education As-sociation’s 2009 C.A.R.E.S. Award for outstanding ef-forts to build strong ties between rural school dis-tricts and the communities they serve. It has also been showcased as an exemplary Vista community project by the Center for Interactive
Learning and Collabora-tion and Historic Landmark Foundation of Indiana 2004 Servaas Award. The RGRG began as a collaborative learning project by the students of New Harmony School and is still under the direction and leader-ship of the NHS students in cooperation with com-munity volunteers. To date the RGRG has raised over $600,000 for the restoration and renovation of this his-toric building in downtown New Harmony.
The Committee members encourage all to attend this fun event and help support one of New Harmony’s oldest landmarks. Tickets are available at the door: $15 for steak dinner, $8 for hamburger/hot dog dinner. Serving time is 5-7:30 p.m.
This would be a great way to spend an evening with friends and neighbors, and view New Harmony’s latest restoration project. The Ribeyre Gymnasium is located on the corner of South Main and Tavern Streets in Historic New Harmony. For more in-formation or to donate an auction item contact Rick Johnson at [email protected] or Brenda Butman at [email protected].
