GOP calls ‘foul’ on treasurer’s lawsuitBy Dave Pearce

Posey County Republican Party head Greg Newman indicated this week that he believes a lawsuit fi led by Democratic Chairman Ed Adams is nothing more than a po-litical maneuver.

The suit was fi led recently when Chris Harp, who was elected in the November general election, stepped down due to problems se-curing the required $300,000 bond necessary for the job. A Republi-can Caucus was held and Justin White was named to replace Harp and he was promptly greeted with the lawsuit.

“Chris fi led for her bonding on

December 4 with everyone else and it was well into January before she found out that her bond had not come through for the full amount,” Newman said in a weekend inter-view. “Even Posey County Com-missioner Carl Schmitz indicated that steps were being taken to se-cure the proper bonding but rather than dragging her family and the county through this, Chris stepped down and Justin White was then named the Chief Deputy. Then, during the March 18 caucus, two people had shown interest in the job. Justin White was selected.”

But White hardly had time to take his seat before he was met

with opposition from the Demo-cratic Party.

“I fi nd it very odd that Ed Ad-ams would say in an interview that he didn’t want Chris to step down when (Democratic Com-missioner) Jim Alsop asked her to step down,” Newman said. “Then Ed turns around and fi les a lawsuit against her. It’s an example of the kind of political bullying that peo-ple are tired of.”

Newly-appointed Posey County Treasurer Justin White was seated in mid-April, following a Repub-lican Party caucus March 18. But Newman said Harp had already began moving the offi ce in a posi-

tive direction before White re-placed her. Therefore, Harp was named First Deputy in the Depart-ment to which she was elected.

“In just his fi rst two or three weeks in offi ce, the website for the treasurer’s offi ce has been com-pleted and the offi ce is becoming modernized,” Newman said. “Jus-tin and Chris are working hard and are doing a great job, just like the people of Posey County elected them to do.”

The lawsuit, fi led by Posey County Democratic Party Chair-man Ed Adams, asks the courts to

non School Corporation can plan Christmas and Spring Break va-cations way in advance with the adoption of the 2013-2014 school calendar at the School Board meet-ing on Monday, March 18. Staff must report on Monday, August 12 and school bells will ring Tues-day August 13 for students. The fi rst semester ends with a full two week Christmas Break from school dismissal on Friday, December 20 to January 6. Spring Break is slated for the last full week in March.

There are standard holidays and fi ve snow days built in to the cal-endar with the projected end of the second semester set for Thursday,

May 22 for students and May 23 for staff. This will total the required 180 days.

The Board also discussed a pro-posed 2015-16 school year calendar for action to be taken at an upcom-ing meeting. School Superintendent Tom Kopatich explained, “I know this is three years in advance and not set in stone, but I would like to see the starting date and Christmas and Spring Breaks Okayed so fami-lies can plan ahead”.

Dates were also announced for nine youth summer camps to be taught by staff members. These include baseball, football, soccer, volleyball skills, girls’ and boys’ basketball, tennis, wrestling and Lady Cats softball. Dates and fees

vary, with several starting as early as May 28 and the latest are fi n-ished by June 28. Check the offi ce or school websites for a complete list of dates, instructors and fees.

Kopatich stressed that cost should never be an issue if a student wants to participate and cannot af-ford it. “Please call the coaches and discuss it with them. We have mon-ey available for students in these cases”, he explained.

sociation recognized Board Mem-ber Beth McFaddin Higgins in achieving the Master Level in their Certifi cation/ Awards Program.

By Lois Mittino GrayMel Levin feels a key to eco-

nomic development is that the city needs to attract younger resi-dents and those people who work in Mount Vernon should reside in Mount Vernon. The former school superintendent made this point as he addressed the Mount Vernon Common Council at its March 20 meeting.

Levin represents the Greater Mount Vernon Association, an or-ganization which has been in ex-istence for quite some time. The Association, also represented by Mike Ashworth, Mary Weintraut, and Jim Swinney, was established to assist with economic develop-ment in the community and to help local businesses. The organization supports the city’s efforts to date and acknowledges that it has done much with limited funds and a lot on its plate.

“Population is declining. The city is losing its young people and that is the future of our commu-nity” he said. “A focused effort is needed to attract young people.” To appear more family-friendly, Levin said the appearance of the Main Street Business District must be addressed aggressively and be top priority. To revitalize the district, he suggested removing or upgrading empty buildings along Main Street.

Mayor John Tucker thanked the group and noted it is great to have taxpayer support as the Board is moving aggressively to enforce ordinances. In the past fi ve years, Building Commissioner Willis has addressed over 69 dilapidated buildings at code hearings. Clerk-Treasurer Sitzman’s offi ce handles between 150-200 weed notices every summer. Last summer the Street Department had to mow 63 in which the owner did not comply. He added that two of the main is-sues he heard about most during his campaign are being done: Fix-ing up the Riverfront, and getting

Special to the NewsIndiana University professor

Eric Sandweiss will present a pro-gram entitled ‘The Day in Its Col-or: A Posey County Photographer and the World He Left Behind’ at the Alexandrian Public Library in Mount Vernon on Saturday, April 27, at 10 a.m. The program is co-hosted by the Posey County His-torical Society and the Alexandri-an Public Library and is presented free to the public. The event is sponsored by Baier & Baier, At-torneys-at-Law, of Mount Vernon.

Professor Sandweiss is the au-thor of a new book entitled ‘The Day in Its Color: Charles Cush-man’s Photographic Journey Through a Vanishing America.’ The book introduces readers to the extraordinary work of phog-rapher and Poseyville native Charles Cushman using a recently unearthed archive of photographs that is the largest known body of early color photographs by a sin-gle photographer, 14,500 in all, most shot on vivid, color-saturated Kodachrome stock. The collection includes hundreds of photographs shot in Posey County.

Professor Sandweiss is Carmo-ny Chair and Associate Professor of History at Indiana University where he edits the quarterly Indi-ana Magazine of History. Prior to

his arrival at IU, Sandweiss served for a decade as Director of Re-search at the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis.

Sandweiss’ teaching and re-search center on two primary top-ics: the built American landscape and the practice of public history. In addition to writing The Day in Its Color, he is the author of St. Louis: The Evolution of an Ameri-can Urban Landscape; co-author of Eadweard Muybridge and the Photographic Panorama of San Francisco; and editor of St. Louis in the Century of Henry Shaw: A View Beyond the Garden Wall. He

is currently at work on a study of the history of city museums in Eu-rope and the U.S.

Sandweiss earned a B.A. in Folklore from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in architectural history from the University of California at Berkeley. He lives in Blooming-ton, Indiana, with his wife, Lee, surprisingly well-adjusted sons, Noah and Ethan, and a Scottish Terrier named Nessie.

Copies of Sandweiss’ book, The Day in Its Color will be available for purchase at the event and the author will be available for sign-ing.

Mount Vernon resident Garry Beeson is enjoying his life here in Posey County. Beeson, who has spent al-most his whole life living in Mount Vernon, is enjoying retirement and is giving back to the school that he loves so much.

Beeson spent the fi rst three years of his life living in a log cabin in Poseyville before moving to Mount Vernon as a child. He graduated from Mount Vernon High School in 1967 before heading to Indiana State University to study. After two years as a student there Beeson was drafted into the Army and eventually spent a year in Vietnam serving our country

as a member of the 11th in-fantry in the Third Mechani-cal division. His time in the Army helped shape him into the man and American that he is.

Beeson spent many years working in Mount Vernon at the General Electric Plastic Plant and retired from the company in 2004. And if you ask Garry how he is enjoying his retirement he would tell you he loves the time he gets to spend with his son Craig. Craig is a junior at Mount Vernon High School and Garry is his biggest fan.

Garry spends his time do-ing the things in this life that he loves so much. On any given sports day at Mount

Vernon High School you can fi nd him on the sidelines or in the stands rooting the Wild-cats on to victory and taking pictures that he turns into DVDs for the student ath-letes. He loves doing this and is his way of giving back to the school that he feels gave him so much in this life.

Beeson loves photography but also has a great love for golf, tennis, baseball, and his family. Just chat with Garry for a few minutes and you will fi nd a man full of love and compassion for every-one around him. Thank you Garry for all you do, for your service to our country, and for giving back to this com-muity and county.

a dependable water and sewer system. Folks also wanted more activities and there have been 50 in the downtown area in the last fi ve years alone.

Tucker encouraged citizens to call INDOT about the condi-tion of Fourth Street as they may have more infl uence than constant calls from the mayor. Truck traffi c also needs to be addressed. In 2012, according to the Port, there were 82,500 trucks just in and out of the Port. This does not include GAF, SABIC, etc, and INDOT needs to take action to regulate the traffi c. “We are totally about to lose Kimball Street”.

Tucker and the Council Members thanked Levin and his group profusely for their support and input. Councilman Fuel-ling noted, “It’s great to hear this support. It gives the Council more power, more teeth. The Evansville Planning Organiza-tion is wondering how we are accomplishing so much in such diffi cult times. It’s people and the public and help getting grants doing this together”

In other council business: --Superintendent Rodney Givens reported the sewer project

last phase, the digester blowers, was just completed. He added that there are always bugs to work out this fi rst year, but it is a good sewage plant and the city should be proud of how it all turned out.

Councilwoman Higgins asked if the traffi c issue at the plant has gotten any better.

“No, it’s still terrible. The signs that have been put up have not helped. The semis still think the entrance is Lexan Lane,” he explained. A week ago there were four semis in eight hours that turned in and then had to back out. Jerry Walden suggest-ed passing that information on to INDOT. Givens said he even e-mailed Google Earth a month ago to update their maps, but has heard no reply to date.

--Givens also reported on cost estimates for sewer systems for Mr. Lawrence’s new subdivision. He said Phase 1 looks to be 5451 linear feet at a cost of $391 per foot, for a total of $21,313.41for material only, not including installation. He added there needs to be 48 manholes at $1891.06 apiece for a total of $90,770.88. Installation costs and the cost of new lift stations must also be fi gured in. Councilman Hoehn asked Givens to put some numbers down on paper for them to re-view and Councilman Fuelling suggested the report be broken down by street.

--A resolution passed unanimously to create a separate Brittlebank Swim Team Fund that will keep its money apart from the regular Parks and Recreation Department operating money. A resolution created an Unsafe Building Fund to ac-cept monies from fi nes, costs paid and pay out costs for en-forcement of codes, such as title searching and advertising.

--Councilman Bill Curtis gave a recap report on the new po-lice and fi re station project planned to refurbish the old Daus-mann Motors building. It was discussed in full earlier that day at the Board of Public Works meeting. Terry Burnworth, President of Pyramid Engineering of Indianapolis, fi lled the council in on the details. His fi rm will prepare the 15-20 bid packages for the project approved at the earlier meeting.

--Councilwoman Becky Higgins is planning the fi rst fund-raiser for the project. A Police and Fireman’s Ball, a tradition in town from 1880 to 1869, will be held in May or June.

--Work on the county bridge east of town should start fairly soon since the city has taken the sewer line off the bridge ac-cording to County Commissioner Jerry Walden. There is no time schedule as yet but they would like the county to get it done quickly.

--The Council met fi rst as the Water Utility Board and heard a report from Superintendant Chuck Gray that the Phase 3 in-take is complete. He hopes that work on moving the electric panels up out of the fl ood plain will be complete by April 19. “So far everything is working great. There have been a few glitches, but that is to be expected,” he explained. Board member Fuelling asked about the new lamella building to which Gray replied that it is complete and the frame was hot dipped galvanized as well as primed and painted in an effort to resist corrosion.

Black and white lab mix, large male picked up on Lower Mount Vernon Road on March 18.

Featured RecipeChosen by Ashley Whitfi eld

Civil War Macaroni and Cheese

INGREDIENTS • 4 cups whole milk• 1/2 pound elbow macaroni pasta (2 to 2 1/2 cups)• 4 Tbsp butter• 2 cups, packed, grated cheddar cheese (about 1/2 pound)• Freshly ground black pepper• Nutmeg• 1/4 to 1/3 cup bread crumbs• Cayenne (optional)

DIRECTIONS1 Heat the milk in a large saucepan until steamy. Stir in the dry macaroni pasta. Let come to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Pay attention while the macaroni is cooking in the milk as the milk may foam up and boil over if the milk gets too hot. Cook the macaroni for 15 minutes or until done. The macaroni should absorb almost all of the milk.

2 Preheat oven to 400°F. As soon as the macaroni is close to being done, melt the butter in a separate saucepan, stir in the grated cheese, black pepper to taste and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Once the cheese has melted, pour the sauce into the macaroni and milk mixture and stir to combine. Taste and add salt if needed.

3 Place macaroni and cheese mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle lightly with cay-enne (if using). Bake in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.

Yield: 10 servings

Finding the Right Dog For You

If you have a particular temperament in mind, you might fi nd it helpful to re-search breed profi les to fi nd your ideal dog. Every dog has a unique personality. Profi les may give you a general idea of what to expect from a par-ticular breed.

Sporting Group: These dogs are very active and re-quire regular exercise. They tend to be very intelligent and make great family compan-ions.

Working Group: This group is best known for doing jobs like pulling sleds, guard-ing and rescuing. These large dogs are intelligent and easily trained. Because of their size

it is important they receive obedience training. They re-quire regular attention, exer-cise and mental stimulation.

Terrier Group: These dogs are best known for spunk and feisty attitudes. Because of their energy level they may not do well around other pets, but they can be well-suited for active children. Many terriers require regular grooming.

Toy Group: These pups are famous for being itty-bitty. Regardless of their size, they may be packed with attitude. They are ideal for people liv-ing in a small home and those looking for lap dogs.

Herding Group: This group follows their name: they herd. They vary from small to me-dium-size dogs and are capa-

ble of herding large groups of farm animals. When living as a family pet they may gently herd children or other pets in the house. They make great companions and are very smart.

Hound Group and Non-Sporting Group: These groups are very diverse and hard to generalize. The hound group can be very talented hunters. Researching within this group for more specifi c breeds may give you a better idea of temperament.

Then you have then good old American Mutt Group. Countless mixed breed dogs can be equally special. They may have a grab bag of char-

acteristics of their parenting breed giving them a unique, adorable combination of traits that is tough to fi nd in any other dog. Often these dogs do not develop the medical problems common to their parenting breeds.

There are so many rescue groups across the country with dogs waiting for a won-derful home. Please check them out and talk with the staff. They will know the personalities of the dogs they care for and can help you fi nd that wonderful companion to fi t your needs and lifestyle. Contact PHS at 812-838-3211 to visit our dogs or view them through our Facebook page.

North Posey High School Class of 1973 reunion

decide if Harp’s seat was legal. If not, he con-tends that Republicans held an illegal caucus. In turn, he contends, appointing White to the offi ce may not be legal.

Adams maintains that outgoing and retiring treasurer Linda Curtis could have continued in her position with Harp, “taking as long as she needed to secure her bond. She didn’t need to resign. She could have stayed in the offi ce.”

“Chris is a wonderful person who has done many wonderful things for the people of Posey County,” Newman said. “If you take a look at all the work she has put in as a volun-teer over the years, that speaks volumes about the person she is.”

“There’s nothing personal about this and I even told Chris I didn’t mean for her to resign [due to the lawsuit],” Adams said in an inter-view with Posey County News writer Valerie Werkmeister last week. “It all boils down to the law and protecting the citizens and assets of this county.”

During a phone interview on Friday, March 22, Adams stated the lawsuit will be amended again with a declaratory judgment action, of-fi cially naming Justin White in the lawsuit.

White is a lifelong Mount Vernon resident who has become avidly involved in politics in recent years. He is a 2004 graduate of Indiana Business College with an Associate’s Degree in Business Administration. Since then, his career has paved the way towards the trea-surer’s seat.

White gained Human Resource and regula-tory banking skills during his three-year em-ployment at American General Finance. He

also spent three years at Fifth-Third Bank as a personal banker where he found his niche in sales and working with the public.

“My experience in the banking industry, with regulatory compliance and HR [Hu-man Resources] administration has given me a good tri-fecta of skills to prepare for this role,” he explained.

White was actually offered the deputy trea-surer position which he assumed on March 4. He felt the move offered him “the opportunity to launch into public service.” He is bonded for the full $300,000 amount and it is record-ed in the Recorder’s Offi ce.

White’s appointment was discussed dur-ing the Tuesday morning, March 19, Posey County Commissioner’s meeting.

President Carl Schmitz stated, “I hope we can move forward and get this all behind us and get back to working on the problems of the county, rather than fi ghting over some-thing like bonding.”

Harp remains in the treasurer’s offi ce and White has named her as the new deputy trea-surer.

“It was only logical to keep her in offi ce. The people of this county chose to elect her to this offi ce and that’s why she’s here. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” White stated.

White hopes to facilitate changes in the of-fi ce that will make its processes more mod-ernized. He will explore opportunities to al-low taxpayers to pay their taxes online or by using their credit or debit cards in the offi ce.

He added that there will not be any delays in tax bills this year. They are slated to be mailed April 1.

By Pam YoungAttention mechanics: Do

not read or listen to this essay. At best it’ll disgust you, but at worst, it could make you sick.

I’m a self-confessed car abuser and I’m not proud of it, it’s just the way it is. I’ve abused every car I’ve ever owned including my current one. My organizing skills have kept my cars clean on the outside and on the inte-rior, but when it comes to tak-ing care of what’s under the hood, they are nonexistent. I know, I know, I’m irrespon-sible. I wait until something happens and then I head for repair. And I know the ‘ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure,’ deal, but I’ve never minded that proverb when it comes to automobiles.

Once I thought seriously about marrying a master me-chanic, but I just couldn’t get past the permanent grease stains under his nails. So I married someone as mechani-cally challenged as I am. Have you ever noticed it costs more for a plumber, electrician or mechanic, if an inept person has taken a shot at a fi x? In the 25 years Terry and I have been married the rap sheet on mechanical abuse runs long. We probably could be retired by now if we’d have been more mechanically adept.

The highlights of my abuse began with a brand new Chrysler called a Sundance. Now the Sundance was a worthless car in the fi rst place. (Driving it out of the dealership, I went to roll the window down and the handle came off in my hand. Just an omen, because anything that could go wrong with that car, did.) I still could have taken better care of her. Two years into ownership, I was stopped at a red traffi c light with a car on my left in the left-turn lane. Black smoke began en-circling our cars as we wait-ed for the light to change. I looked over at the car beside me and noted it was a real junker and I thought, ‘Get off the road, you polluting piece of junk.’ Then his light turned green and he took a left and left me engulfed in the smoke. It was my car that was smok-ing. My light turned green and as I drove through the intersection, I heard a sound like a Costco-sized can of Chili blew up under the hood.

I’d blown my fi rst rod. Okay, in the two years I owned the car I had never changed its oil.

I think I traded what was left of the Sundance on a new Mazda. With the Mazda, I took lessons they offered free to new owners on how to take good care of your purchase. I didn’t mind.

Our next car was a Cadil-lac. We were coming up in the world and I vowed to be better. We still have her today, but we are still guilty of neg-ligence. The Caddy has a big computer that I swear makes the car seem like a person. She lets us know when she’s hungry, thirsty, needs an oil change, more coolant, etc. Trouble is, it turns out she’s a real hypochondriac. A good example; one morning her engine light came on inform-ing me that something was wrong with her engine and I needed to get her in immedi-ately. $119 later, it turned out the only thing wrong with her was that the engine light was faulty. The fi x cost me anoth-er $45.

The Cadillac was born in

1998 and I fi gure she’s 105 in car years (same as dogs). We call her The Old Lady. She moans when I start her up in the morning if the tempera-ture in the garage is below 45 degrees. I rammed into anoth-er car about two years ago and put a big hole in her rear bum-per and when I went to get it fi xed, I was informed it would cost more than the whole car is worth, so I just put a bum-per sticker over the hole.

I think we’ll keep The Old Lady until she croaks, prob-ably on the side of the road somewhere, but until that day, we keep oil and water in the trunk because she’s constant-ly complaining that she’s low on them. I fi gure I don’t have to take her in for oil changes anymore, because she’s con-stantly burning oil and we’re adding fresh oil on almost a daily basis.

I think when she does bite the dust, we’ll just rent a car or take the bus. Oh, and if you are a car, and you see me gaz-ing at you with that look of intended acquisition, please, for your own good take off the other the way.

If I were a car... I wouldn’t trust me

Join Under the Beams in welcoming Fatoumata Di-awara, Saturday, April 6, 2013, at 8 p.m. in New Har-mony’s Rapp-Owen Gra-nary. This marks the last of the four concert Under the Beams 2013 concert season.

Perpetuating Mali's rich musical tradition, Fatouma-ta Diawara presents a joyous mix of the vibrant and un-derstated, combining songs about love, politics and empowerment with arrest-ing melodies soaring over intricate guitar and drum ar-rangements.

Inspired by Wassoulou tradition, jazz, and blues, Fatoumata Diawara has cre-ated her own unique con-temporary folk sound, with a distinctly African spin to the concept of the female singer-songwriter. At the center of the music is Di-awara's warm, affecting voice; spare, rhythmical gui-tar playing; and gorgeously

melodic songs that draw powerfully on her own often troubled experience.

Born in Côte d'Ivoire, raised in Mali, now based in Paris, Diawara has had a life covering a whole gamut of contemporary African experience: fi ghting paren-tal opposition to her artistic ambitions and the cultural prejudice faced by women throughout Africa, winning success as an actress in fi lm and theater, before fi nd-ing her feet in the medium she was always destined to make her own: music.

Damon Albarn, Toumani Diabaté, Herbie Hancock, and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones are just a few of the major players who have fallen for Diawara's effort-less musical charm, as her presence has lit up shows in Europe by Africa Express, AfroCubism, and Hancock's ‘Imagine’ project. Yet her debut, released in North

America on Nonesuch Re-cords in 2012, is almost entirely her own work: self-composed and arranged, with her own backing vocals and percussion. It breathes with the natural warmth, confi dence, and spontaneity that are the essence of Di-awara herself.

A fabulous fi nale to a fan-tastic season and another Under the Beams show you won’t want to miss. For tickets, call 812-682-3128, purchase tickets online at www.underthebeams.org, or stop by Events of Harmony, corners of Main & Tavern Streets, New Harmony, Ind.

Free movie night at Community CenterSpecial to the news:

Twenty-two vocal music students from the Mount Vernon Senior High School Fine Arts Academy have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring. Not so much for vacation time or warmer weather but rather because of their upcoming trip to New York City’s Avery Fisher Hall and the New York premiere of Christopher Tin’s “Calling All Dawns.”

“Although many of the participants know the work, we have been in rehearsals for the past three weeks in preparation,” notes Academy vocal music teacher Dana Taylor, “This oppor-tunity, just like last year’s Indiana premiere at Mount Vernon requires them to perform at a much higher level if they wish to be successful.”

Comprised of 12 movements in 12 different languages, “Calling All Dawns” features chorus, orchestra and soloists and takes the listener through a metaphorical sequence of day, night and dawn (life, death and rebirth). Singers from Mount Vernon will perform nine of the movements in conjunction with choirs from California, Pennsylvania and England. Four of the move-ments will feature performances by the original singers heard on the Grammy winning recording including “Anonymous 4.”

Taylor notes, “the Anonymous 4 connection is especially pleasing in that we have known them for several years and have brought two them of them here for workshops and performanc-es and our women’s ensemble Angelus is modeled after them.”

Additionally, in February of 2012, with assistance from the “Under the Beams” concert series, the Fine Arts Academy and the University of Evansville sponsored a demonstration session with them at Wheeler Concert Hall on the UE campus.

Equally exciting is the opportunity to work again with com-poser Christopher Tin. Taylor recalls, “As a visiting artist in Mount Vernon last May, Chris engaged and charmed the stu-dents with his genuine appreciation for their efforts, his humil-ity and energy, if we had tried to cast the role of ‘visiting artist,’ we could not have done better.”

“I think the students said it best,” Taylor said. “He’s won two Grammy Awards but is just a normal person.

The Mount Vernon experience has not been lost on Christo-pher Tin, New York concert-goers will see in his biography that May 4 is “Christopher Tin Day” in Mount Vernon.

Distinguished Concerts International New York, the spon-soring organization, didn’t know the work until Dana Taylor told them about it last summer. DCINY was encouraging the Mt. Vernon choir to come to New York and participate in one of their many concerts. As part of the discussion Taylor told them about Mount Vernon’s recent experience with “Calling All Dawns”, sent them a DVD of the performance and gave them Christopher Tin’s phone number. By mid-September it was confi rmed and recruitment and fundraising began.

“The students are very excited about the opportunity to sing in New York and just this week, a new opportunity arose when DCINY alerted the school directors that they were now seeking participant auditions for solos in three of the movements,” Tay-lor said. “Auditions have been submitted and a decision will be made by April 3 or 4.”

A parent recently noted that the students are “very lucky” to have this opportunity. Taylor agreed but adds, “luck happens when hard work and opportunity meet. We are very fortunate to have students who are interested in pursuing opportunities and are willing to work hard to achieve, equally, we are fortu-nate to have parents, community members, administrators and a school district that encourage the pursuit of these opportuni-ties.”

The singers will leave Mount Vernon on April 4 and will begin rehearsals with the conductor on April 5. The culminat-ing performance takes place on Sunday, April 7 at 2 p.m. They will return on April 8.

While in New York, the students and chaperones will tour Central Park, Battery Park and see a Broadway show (or two) and do some requisite sight-seeing.

Legion Fish Fry, Open House April 13

My grandpa taught me how to work outdoors and to ap-preciate Johnny Cash. Cash wrote a not-so-wholesome song about work in the auto-motive industry. He joked that he carried home parts from work and got it one piece at a time. Lyrics end with it's a "'51,'52,'53,'54,'55,'56,'57,'58,'59,'60 automobile." Neat tune.

Getting it one piece at a time reminds me of Luke 5:8 but before I explain that fur-ther, allow me a few words about the broader passage. Luke 5:1-11 is widely known by Jesus calling his fi rst disci-ples. Simon-Peter, James, and John were partners in a fi shing business. These three would, by the end of this encounter, be compelled to put their busi-ness on hold and follow Jesus.

That day, Jesus was teach-ing the word of God to a

crowd of people gathered on the Sea of Galilee. Specifi -cally, Jesus was on the lush northwest corner of the Sea in an area called Gennesaret. Jesus was popular. The peo-ple were crowding in on Je-sus. They were crowding in because of his miracles but more so for his teachings. He is the profound expositor of the word.

The popularity of Jesus posed a space problem. Jesus could have solved the prob-lem by standing on the water--after all he was known to do that sort of thing--but he chose rather to use the prized equip-ment of Simon-Peter Fishing Enterprises. Simon-Peter, as with most men, is more will-ing to loan equipment to the Lord's work than to commit life to the Lord's work. But all true believers start some-

where. Jesus offered Simon-Peter an opportunity--an opportunity to solve a space problem. He did.

Peter put the boat out a little from land. Jesus sat down and taught the people from the boat. After all, God's people need God's teaching from God's words. When Je-sus fi nished the sermon, he issued an exhortation to Pe-ter. Jesus said, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch (Luke 5:4)." I imagine Peter's pride puffi ng up at these words. Peter likely couldn't slow his thoughts. He may have thought that Jesus was a carpenter, healer, Bible-teacher, but fi sherman? Jesus is overstepping His knowl-edge base. Fishing is Peter's business. Simon-Peter Fish-ing Enterprises knows more about how to fi sh than Jesus of Nazareth. Peter must have thought Jesus was a little too pumped up from the crowds. But as not to offend Jesus, Peter quipped, "Master, we toiled all night and took noth-ing." Even though deep water fi shing during the daytime is an obvious misnomer, Peter relented, "But at your word I will let down the nets (Luke

5:5)." And they did. Tilapia is a fi sh found in

the Sea of Galilee. I know this because I asked the fi shing guides when we were riding on the Sea last November. So I imagine the fi sh they caught were tilapia. Whatever fi sh they caught that day is not as important as the amount. They caught so many fi sh they needed another boat to haul them all in and then even that wasn't enough. Both boats began to sink from the weight. Two twenty-seven foot boats were sinking under the catch of fi sh.

Commentators think this miracle of catch was to fore-shadow the success Peter would later have catching men. After all, Peter would preach the fi rst message at Pentecost and catch three thousand on day one. The church would be built on the message of the cross as fi rst preached by Peter. The gates of hell would not overcome it. But that was then and this is now. Now, it's just a foretaste. Now, Peter is astounded. Je-sus even knows the best way to do...fi shing? Jesus even knows the best way to do...my job, my relationship, my

income, my ambition, my dreams, my goals...my life?.?.

At this point, I simply want to focus on Simon-Peter's re-sponse. Notice in Luke 5:8 what Peter does not address. He does not address fi shing tactics. Fishing lures are not on his agenda. He does not address the goodness of God. Absent from the discourse is why a good God wouldn't stop the catch of fi sh a few pounds earlier as not to jeop-ardize their primary business assets--boats. Absent from the response is questions about the existence of supernatural power. Peter doesn't question Jesus about how he healed people and captivates crowds. Peter doesn't ask questions probing the depths of under-standing. For crying out loud, Peter doesn't even cry out loud for Jesus to fi x the physi-cal situation of the boat. Pe-ter's response is interesting for what it didn't include as much for what it did.

Peter's response to Jesus was simply, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord (Luke 5:8)." In keeping with the biblical witness, God-encounters elicit human fear. This was true of Isaiah, Gide-

on, Job, and the widow near Elijah. God-encounters do not elicit pride-fi lled questioning about logic, reasoning, suf-fering, or supernatural ability. God-encounters elicit fear, a realization of the holiness of God. God is something to-tally different than man. Peter couldn't even imagine stand-ing in His presence. And no one would lest God intervene. No one would stand in God's presence without God making a way.

God makes a way for us to be in His presence for all time. This is the way of the cross. On the cross, Jesus became sin for you. While you are yet unaware of the depth of your sin, Christ died for you. You need only receive Him. But that receiving does not come through pride. Receiving comes through surrender.

You must become bless-edly aware of your sin. Peter did not have salvation and sanctifi cation all fi gured out. You won't either. But when God really calls you, you real-ly respond with confessional language. You recognize for the very fi rst time that God is not on trial--you are. God is not judged but the judge.

God is so gracious not to show me all my sin at once. All my sin at once would crush me. He shows me enough of my sin to repent. He is gracious enough to dis-cipline me along the way be-cause he loves me. The Lord disciplines those he loves and I do not despise His dis-cipline. I might not like dis-cipline, but I am thankful for it. The weight of my own sin is heavy enough to sink me like Peter's boat. But God is gracious enough to give me enough reality I lower but not so much I sink. God gracious-ly shows me the sin I need to repent of a piece at a time.

Amazon.com, Inc.’s new Jeffersonville fulfi llment center and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, Inc.’s (TMMI) Princeton expansion received national recognition this month as winners of Trade & Indus-try Development maga-zine’s 8th annual Corporate Investment and Community Impact Awards (CiCi). The projects are among the top 30 economic development projects in 2012 and were selected from hundreds submitted from across the country.

“We are proud that Indi-ana earned the opportunity to host the investments of Amazon and TMMI. These awards not only honor their growth and achievements, but further underscore the success we’ve achieved in creating a state that works for business,” said Victor Smith, Indiana Secretary of Commerce. “With our skilled workforce, com-petitive tax climate and unmatched infrastructure,

world-class companies con-tinue to recognize that the Hoosier State is open for business.”

Amazon’s project was chosen as one of the top 15 in the Community Impact category for the Fortune 500 online retailer’s $150 mil-lion investment to locate its fi fth Indiana facility in Jef-fersonville, Ind., creating 1,050 new jobs. Currently operating facilities in In-dianapolis, Whitestown and Plainfi eld, the Jeffersonville facility brings Amazon’s footprint in the state to more than 4 million square feet.

TMMI’s expansion was recognized as one of the top 15 in the Corporate Invest-ment category for the auto-motive manufacturer’s total investment of $400 million with $131 million going di-rectly to its Princeton plant to consolidate its Highlander mid-SUV production to this location. The project is ex-pected to increase the an-nual Highlander production volume by approximately

50,000 units at the Princeton plant and create approxi-mately 400 new jobs.

“Indiana’s achievement of being home to two com-panies that are recipients of the 8th Annual CiCi Awards from Trade & Industry De-velopment magazine speaks volumes about the business climate in Indiana,” said Scott Swoger, publisher of Trade & Industry Develop-ment magazine. “Having two high-profi le companies like TMMI and Amazon make such notable invest-ments in the state is an eco-nomic development achieve-ment that should receive the attention of site selectors.”

The CiCi Awards are a dual-awards program high-lighting the largest corpo-rate investments, as well as recognizing projects that make the most notable im-pact on communities. For a complete list of winners, see Trade & Industry Develop-ment’s March/April issue or visit www.tradeandindus-trydev.com.

Indiana economic developmentefforts garner national recognition

Saturday, March 23, 2013, Marrs Elementary U3 A Team won the State Cham-pionship in the Indiana Team Chess State Finals held in Terre Haute. Marrs fi nished ahead of the 52 teams that qualifi ed for state fi nals from various regionals held throughout the state. The fi ve regionals were: Goshen, Hammond, Indianapolis, Ft Wayne, and Evansville. The four members of the Marrs A team are Henry Adams,

Braden Blanford, Deborah Mattingly, and Nate Red-man.

The Marrs B team fi nished in 17th place, and second place of all unrated teams entered. The West Elemen-tary U3 team fi nished third at state, just behind Towne Meadow of Carmel.

West was the only Title 1 school to fi nish in the top 20. Both teams placed higher than all private schools and academies, including Syca-more in Indianapolis and Canterbury in Ft. Wayne, both coached by chess mas-ters. Members of the West team include Tyler Rodgers, Nolan Fischer, Brady Hook, and Zane Spivey. No chess team from Southwest Indi-ana had ever won a state title before this year.

The West Elementary U6 team placed 18th out of 33 qualifying teams. Mount Vernon Junior High School fi nished 20th of 33 qualify-ing teams. Coach Hamm was ecstatic realizing that most of the Mount Vernon chess players had never seen a chess board before this year. "It just goes to show you how awesome our families are. These kids came to me in October loved and cared for. It is also quite evident

that our local teachers have taught our students how to learn and how to concen-trate. Because of that foun-dation, these kids can fi nd success in a game like chess. This is a very unique bunch of students, many of whom are among the sharpest I have ever known."

These same players domi-nated the 39 team, 350 player Ivy Tech tournament March 2, 2013. West fi nished sec-ond to Marrs, but claimed three players in the top six positions. The champion Marrs team claimed eight of the top 15. This means that the remaining players representing three coun-ties received a total of four trophies. "I feel the biggest complement we received was when the tournament director Shirley Cree and tournament offi cials Terry and Tracy Vibbert said the Mount Vernon players were so well behaved. Again, that is because of our strong, sup-portive families. When one player does well, all applaud. When one does not fare as well, all feel some pain for the loss."

Though the season is now over, a few plan to play at the Super Nationals in Nash-ville, Tenn., April 5-7.

D. Andrew (Andy) Nestrick, a partner at Bamberger, Fore-man, Oswald & Hahn, LLP, has been certifi ed as a “Board Certifi ed Indiana Trust & Es-tate Lawyer” by the Indiana Trust & Estate Specialty Board of the Indiana State Bar Asso-ciation.

In order to obtain this certi-fi cation, Nestrick had to fulfi ll certain general requirements concerning the concentration and length of his practice, dem-onstrate substantial involve-ment and special competence in estate planning and adminis-tration, obtain letters of recom-mendation from other lawyers and judges, show that he has and will continue to meet cer-tain continuing legal education requirements in the estate plan-ning and administration area, and successfully complete a rigorous written examination.

Nestrick was recently ap-pointed as the Chairman of Bamberger’s estate planning and administration practice group. He is licensed to prac-tice law in Indiana and Ken-tucky.

You probably aren’t too wor-ried about it, but April is Stress Awareness Month. Each year, the Health Resource Network sponsors this ‘month’ to inform people about the dangers of stress and to share successful coping strategies. Obviously, it’s important to reduce stress in all walks of life — includ-ing your investment activities. How can you cut down on the various stresses associated with investing?

Here are a few possible ‘stress-busters’:

• Know your risk tolerance. If you’re constantly worrying about the value of your in-vestments, your portfolio may simply be too volatile for your individual risk tolerance. Con-versely, if you’re always feeling that your investments will nev-er provide you with the growth you need to achieve your long-term goals, you might be in-vesting too conservatively.

• Know what to expect from your investments. Uncertainty is often a leading cause of stress. So when you purchase investments that are mysteri-ous to you, you shouldn’t be surprised if they perform in ways that raise your stress lev-els. Never invest in something

unless you fully understand its characteristics and risk poten-tial.

• Be prepared for market vol-atility. Over the long term, the fi nancial markets have trended upward, though their past per-formance can’t guarantee fu-ture results. Yet for periods of months, and even years, these same markets can sputter and decline. So when you invest, be aware of this volatility; if you’re prepared for it, you won’t be shocked when it hap-pens, and you should be able to better keep stress at bay.

• Maintain realistic expecta-tions. If you think your invest-ments are going to earn a very high rate of return, year after year, you are more than likely going to be disappointed — and you could easily get ‘stressed out.’ You’re much better off, from a stress standpoint, not to expect eye-popping results.

• Diversify your portfolio. If you were only to own one as-set class, such as growth stocks, and that particular segment took a big hit during a market drop, your whole portfolio could suffer, and it could take years to recover — causing you no end of stress. But if you spread your investment dollars among

a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, government securities and so on — your portfolio has a better chance of weathering the ups and downs of the mar-ket. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversifi cation may help you reduce the effects of vola-tility, it can’t prevent losses or guarantee profi ts.)

• Think long term. If you only measure your investment success by short-term results, you can feel frustrated and stressed. But when you stop to consider your objectives, you may fi nd that the most impor-tant ones, such as a comfortable retirement, are all long-term in nature. Consequently, it makes more sense to measure the progress you’re making with your investments in periods of years, or even decades, rather than days or months. Instead of fretting over your monthly in-vestment statements, compare where you are today versus where you were 10 or 15 years ago. The results may well sur-prise and help ‘de-stress’ you.

Stress Awareness Month will come and go. But by making the right moves, you can help take some of the stress out of investing for a long time to come.

Financial Focus: Help yourself reduce investment stress

By Valerie WerkmeisterThe winter blues seems to have a strong-

hold on the masses as folks are forced to re-main indoors, anxiously waiting for Spring to offi cially arrive. Simply put, it’s cold and people are tired of gray, dreary days. Every-one is anxious to be outside enjoying warm, spring air while tending to newly-planted gardens and taking in the aroma of freshly-cut grass. Most of all, we crave the warm sun and, (gasp) even the possibility of sweating while being outside. (I hope I don’t come to regret that statement this summer)

While pondering Spring’s actual arrival, I decided it is ridiculous to rely on others’ predictions of when something good is sup-pose to happen. We can all probably agree that Mother Nature is bipolar and enjoys giving us tastes of her mood swings, some-times all within the same day. She blatantly ignored the start of spring March 21. Mis-take Number 2. The fi rst mistake was cheer-ing Puxtawney Phil’s prediction that spring

was just around the corner.Perhaps it’s just human nature to rely on

others or events for a sense of well-being. I’d like to propose a more proactive ap-proach. Pay it Forward.

I fi rst learned of the concept when I watched the movie, of the same name. Those unfamiliar with the movie would do well to watch it. The concept is simple, do something kind no matter how big or how small to someone. It’s not even necessary to know that person. It can be a completely random act or an elaborate plan perfectly executed.

Of course, watching the movie was not the fi rst time I learned of the importance of helping others in need. My eyes were opened at a young age as I watched fam-ily members struggle with challenging situ-ations. Sometimes, just being there is the required gesture.

There is a certain joy that comes with a giving nature. Those who truly give freely,

without the need for recognition and atten-tion can secure their own happiness. No need to check dates off the calendar in an-ticipation of a special date or holiday. Be in charge of your own happiness.

There’s no question that doing things for others helps you lose focus of your own problems, struggles or challenges. Get-ting up and ready each day is truly a chal-lenge for someone like myself who lives with Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis and a myriad of diabetic issues. There are many days that the foot of my bed is as far as I want to go. Inevitably, if I deliberately avoid the outside world, I feel worse. My own pain clouds my vision.

Doing things for others, instead of focus-ing on myself, makes me feel better. Wheth-er it be giving a hot lunch to a cold, home-less person asking for help at a stoplight in Evansville, gathering donations for Relay for Life or Boy Scouts, or making an unex-pected special appreciation gift for some-

one, it puts me in a better frame of mind.I can’t help but think if everyone devoted

a portion of their day to some sort of Pay it Forward gesture, how much happier your world would be. If you are unsure what sort of thing qualifi es as a Pay it Forward mo-ment, stop and look around you. Read the newspaper. Watch the news. Listen to your neighbor or your co-workers. Inquire at church. Opportunities are everywhere. Ges-tures don’t have to involve money. A dona-tion of time is just as valuable.

In fact, within the pages of this newspa-per, there are opportunities to help out with fundraisers in the fi ght against cancer, re-quests for volunteers to help clean up parks and roadways or support others facing seri-ous health conditions with cards or prayers.

I recently came across a special quote that seems fi tting.

“It doesn’t matter who you are, or where you come from, the ability to triumph begins with you, always,” Oprah Winfrey.

Mike Kuhn and Michelle Parrish will select two stu-dent attorneys and six wit-nesses from North Posey High School who will try to convince the Law Day jury made up of real lawyers to pass Gun Ordinance 2-32.

Lucy Steinhart will se-lect two student attorneys and six witnesses from Mt. Vernon High School who will argue Ordinance 2-32 should fail.

The drama will unfold in the Posey Circuit Court courtroom the morning of April 23, 2013. This Law Day event continues a long tradition of student involve-ment and Posey County Bar Association sponsorship. It is open to the public and it is free.

Ordinance 2-32 is the cre-ation of the mayor of Mc Faddens Bluff, Consuelo Harper. The Mayor believes that mandating the residents of her small, Posey County town to have access to fi re-arms would be an effective and inexpensive way to pro-vide security for her town. As Mayor Harper will tes-tify:

“Mc Faddens Bluff is a great place to live, but we are a small, rural city with-out police or fi re protection and must rely on the Sher-iff’s Department or volun-teers.”

Mc Faddens Bluff Coun-cil Member Neville Cham-berlain voted against Or-dinance 2-32 when it was proposed by Mayor Harper. Chamberlain’s position is:

“We do not need to worry about threats from home or abroad.

…Look at our city’s almost

two hundred year history.

Except for this one unfortu-nate incident, precipitated by a few misguided youths,

we have been free of strife and fear.”

The incident Chamberlain referred to was an attempt by members of the Graf-ton High School basketball team to steal Mc Faddens Bluff High School’s 2012 county championship tro-phy.

The attempted theft, or as defi ned by the basketball players from Grafton High School, the rightful requisi-tion, of the trophy was led by Grafton’s star player, Carlos Grippado. Carlos stated his case as follows:

“My teammates from last year and I were upset about that ‘homer’ call made by Referee Rodney Fetching in the 2012 tournament. … we never planned any confron-tation. We thought no one would be around. … we did have a couple of baseball bats, but only for our own protection. You know there’s no law in that town so you have to protect yourself.”

Angel Harper, the May-or’s daughter and captain of the Mc Faddens Bluff cheer-leading squad, confronted Carlos Grippado and his co-horts when they were break-ing into the trophy case. An-gel beat Carlos with his own bat and said:

“We had a duty to defend our trophy, our school, our

city, and ourselves. What if they had had guns?”

On the side opposing Ordinance 2-32 and one of the council members who voted against it is Joan Baez whose hippie parents named her after the folk singer. Baez was upset with the whole incident:

“As for this war-like Ordinance 2-32, what an abomination and an affront to peace. I say live and let live. Kill them with kind-ness, not guns.

…Where’s the demonstrated

need for this imposition of government over the desires of individual citizens.

…All we are saying is give

peace a chance.”A council member who

voted for Ordinance 2-32 is Reyfert Hogart. Hogart saw combat in Korea in 1950 and is greatly concerned about North Korea’s new leader Kim Jong-il and his threats to bomb the U.S.

“Ordinance 2-32 ain’t imposing on nobody. If you want a gun, without 2-32, if you ain’t a felon or a nut case you can get one now. Actually, criminals can get all the guns they want on the street and never regis-ter them or get a license for them. Heck, we must have one hundred million guns in this good ‘ole U.S. of A. already. A few more in the hands of law-abiding citi-zens is a non-issue.”

These voices are just some which will be heard in the gun control/security de-bate on Law Day, April 23, 2013 in the Posey Circuit Court. If you are so inclined, you are welcome to join in the exercise.

GAVELGAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

Gavel Gamut’s: ‘Just the fi ction, please’

Guest Column State Rep. Wendy McNamara

WRITER / REPORTER

LOIS GRAY

As the legislative session approaches its fi nal month, we are putting in many long hours to move bills through the legislative process. This year, I was pleased to author a measure, House Bill (HB) 1108, that ad-dresses juvenile sentencing. This bill pro-vides options for our judiciary and Indiana Department of Corrections (IDOC) when sentencing juveniles in adult courts.

Indiana is one of four North Midwestern states who do not provide alternative place-ments for juveniles tried as adults. HB 1108 will ensure that juveniles under the age of 18 will be appropriately placed.

This bill allows for juveniles convicted as adults to remain in the juvenile justice sys-tem until deemed necessary prior to place-ment in an adult system. Youth sentenced under this section can be transferred to the adult system at any point if they prove to be unmanageable in the juvenile system.

Providing a sentencing alternative does not change the juvenile waiver process; it provides adult courts with a sentencing op-tion for youth under the age of 18 who have been waived or direct-fi led into the adult court system.

HB 1108 is about fi nding the appropriate placement of youth who have committed adult crimes. The most appropriate place-ment of youth sentenced as adults is critical

to their rehabilitation. Yet, juveniles who are convicted of the most severe offenses and are between the ages of 16 and 18 may not have the option of remaining in juvenile de-tentions.

In looking at our criminal system as a whole, it can be a revolving door. However, if appropriate services are provided to juve-nile offenders while they are incarcerated, the likelihood of recidivism is lower and the chance of successfully re-entering their community is greater. The intent of the leg-islation is to provide fl exibility in the courts’ rulings and enable the corrections system to provide a pathway for convict juveniles to be productive and engaged citizens upon being released.

Barriers to successful re-entry that are associated with recidivism revolve around issues of employment, education level, sup-portive networks, housing and substance abuse. By providing judges the fl exibility to sentence juveniles to age-appropriate fa-cilities, they would have more appropriate resources, given their age, at their disposal.

If you have any questions about HB 1108 or any of the other bills I have authored this session, please contact me via email at h76@in.gov or by phone at (317) 232-9671. I am happy to hear from you.

Getting smart about sentencing

Random acts of kindness can cheer you up any time of the year

I can't remember the fi rst time I heard the words homosexual or lesbian. I probably was a young teenager. I do not remember.

I can't fathom why anybody would be sexu-ally attracted to someone of the same sex. We live in an age where a percentage of our coun-try and world wishes to live in gay relation-ships. They also want to call it marriage.

The only way I have heard the word mar-riage used is in referring to a man and woman living in a monogamous relationship. Mar-riage is a Bible word. Different forms of the word, marry and marriage occur about 22 times in the Bible. I do not understand why anyone would want to take a term that has historically been used to identify a relation-ship between a man and a woman and try to redefi ne it.

While I personally do not approve of ho-mosexual/lesbian relationships, I nor any other American can live another person's life. This is part of the Liberty of being a citizen of the United States. I am opposed to redefi ning the word marriage.

If two men or two women want to live to-gether and commit themselves to each other in a civil union then so be it. I can understand why two life partners would want the other to benefi t from their retirement or medical benefi ts and a civil union may make this pos-sible. I've known men and women who have lived together most of their lives. Some of them acted more brotherly or sisterly toward each other than they did married. I've known of other same sex couples that lived together and acted more married than some men and women who are married.

I am an advocate of traditional marriage

and traditional families. We need strong fami-lies in our country. A nation will never be any stronger than its families. A broken hurting family adds to a broken hurting society. Chil-dren need love, guidance and parents who will spend time with them.

There are certainly scores of children who have been raised in traditional homes who haven't turned out so well. The presence of a mother and father is not a guarantee that life will all be well.

Personally I am glad I had a mom and a dad. I was fortunate. They were both hard working people and very traditional in their roles. My dad worked a hard job all of his life and my mother had the tough stay-at-home and raise fi ve children job. Today roles have changed so much in traditional marriages. Moms work outside the home and children are raised by schools and media devices.

I had a nontraditional role as a parent and caregiver during some key years of my two sons' lives. Their mother was unable to physi-cally do anything for them her last three or four years. These were key formative years of my children. It would have meant so much if she could have been active in their lives. However, she couldn't and therefore we tried to do the best we could.

Traditional is a great word but life isn't al-ways traditional. What does a traditional fam-ily really mean? Does it mean a man and a woman with two sons and two daughters? Does it mean they have a house with four bed-rooms and two baths? Does it mean the boys play football and the girls cheerlead? Does it mean dad works 40 hours a week and mom stays home, raises the kids and cooks good

meals? Does it mean the kids grow up and all do well in school and produce healthy happy grandchildren? I do not have to stay on this rhythm.

We all know there isn't a lot about our coun-try that resembles the forties and the fi fties. I still love to watch the old shows and what seemed to be such simple beautiful lives of that era's television characters. Our country barely resembles that era.

My prayer for America is that once again we will become a people who value our time with each other. I hope we will become a peo-ple who will fi nd time to sit around the table and talk at least once a day. I also hope that we will at least listen to what the other person is saying. My hope is that we will become a great nation of people who pray and look to God and that God and the Bible would once

again become favorite subjects in our homes.I'm praying for a civil union in our United

States. During the Civil War we were divided. For years African Americans were treated wrong in this nation. There was nothing civil about how America treated African Ameri-cans.

Today, we have union but we have divi-sion. I heard about this man who once tied the tails of two cats together and threw them over a clothesline. That was very cruel. The cats had union but they were not very civil to each other. Sadly there are many marriages in the United States where two people live in joint legal union but the people aren't very civil to each other.

If America ever needed to pray more, work harder and love deeper toward making our na-tion a civil nation, it is today.

By Steven KocherspergerWhile many of us were

busy preparing for Easter and enjoying the last few days of spring break the Mount Vernon baseball team was busy making some noise to begin their season at the Terre Haute ‘Baseball Bash’ Invitational.

On Friday night the Wild-cats opened with a 3-1 win over New Haven behind some great pitching and defense. Then on Saturday morning the Cats took on Terre Haute South High School and came out victo-rious 4-1 behind some solid pitching and a go-ahead two run home run from junior Craig Beeson.

Those two games set up a great matchup with the Munster Mustangs in the fi -nal game who had also won both of their opening games of the Invitational. The Cats started Ross Canada as their pitcher and though he strug-gled early, his team had his back.

The game opened up with the Mustangs striking early and going up 2-0 in the top of the fi rst inning. But while the top of the inning seemed to be a struggle for Mount Vernon, the Cats struck back in the bottom of the inning to answer the Mustangs.

With the bases loaded and only one out senior Drake McNamara stepped up to the plate and plated the fi rst run for the cats on a fi eld-ers choice. The Wildcats continued the scoring in the fi rst when Craig Beeson hit a two run single to put the Cats up in the ball game. Mount Vernon would score again in the inning behind a wild pitch and found them-

selves up 4-2 at the end of the fi rst.

Munster would strike back though. The Mustangs scored three times in the top of the second inning behind a double and a single with two outs. And with the score 5-4 Mustangs at the end of two innings Munster was feeling good.

Canada struggled in his three innings on the mound but did strike out fi ve while walking three runners. He turned the ball over to team-mate Kris McKinney who struck out the Munster bat-ter to end the fourth inning with the Mustangs threaten-ing to score with a runner on third base. Not bad for a guy who took a year off of high school baseball and is now back.

In the bottom of the fourth Wildcat Trevor Veeck

doubled in the tying run to even the ballgame up at 5-5. Munster would strike again though scoring two more runs in the top of the fi fth but the Wildcats would answer once again behind a three run fi fth inning. Drake McNamara started that fi fth inning by hitting his fi rst home run of the year. The Wildcats then added two more runs behind Craig Beeson’s sacrifi ce fl y and Logan Brown’s single with two outs allowing a Wildcat runner to score and take the lead at 8-7.

The Wildcats added three more runs in the sixth and ended up only allowing one more Mustang run to win the game 11-8 and the In-vitational for the fi rst time since 2007.

The wins put Mount Ver-non at 3-0 to start the year

and Wildcat head coach Paul Quinzer is happy with his teams’ performance.

“We had pretty good pitching all weekend and good team play,” Quinzer said. “The fi rst two ball-games we had pretty good pitching and all 16 guys contributed in some way in all three games for us. It feels good to start the year 3-0.”

And while the Wildcats are happy with how the ear-ly part of the season is going Quinzer knows that there is still a lot of time and work to do.

“We are happy right now but still have a lot of work to do to get better as a team,” he surmised.

One of the areas the team seemed to struggle, espe-cially in the third game against Munster, was lock-

ing down the inning with two outs. And while there are things to work on, as there always are in the be-ginning of any season, the

Wildcats feel their season can end up being a success-ful one if they continue to work hard and never give up no matter the situation.

By Dave PearceThe North Posey Vikings backed up the solid pitching of

seniors Kyle Voegel and Alec Werry by pounding out 12 hits Friday en route to a 12 – 1, fi ve inning, victory at South Knox. Voegel went four innings, scattering fi ve hits and striking out four Spartans, to earn the win. Werry fi nished up for the Vi-kings by striking out two hitters in his one inning of work.

After a 1 – 2 – 3 fi rst inning, the Vikings grabbed the lead for good by plating four runs in the second stanza. With two outs Viking junior Reed Gerteisen doubled in Nick Heldt with the game’s fi rst run and James Marshall followed with a

base hit to plate Zach Scheller, who had singled earlier in the inning. A walk and a South Knox error allowed the fi nal runs of the inning to score for North Posey.

In the third inning Viking senior Colton Martin led off with a single and later scored on a wild pitch. Another errant pitch allowed Heldt, who had a one out single, to score and make it a 6 – 0 lead for North Posey. Werry and Voegel each contrib-uted a two run single in the top of the fi fth inning to put the game away for the Vikings.

The balanced offensive attack by the Vikings was led by Martin’s 3 for 4 performance at the plate. Tyler Stolz and

Gerteisen each went 2 for 3 on the night.Viking coach Kevin Smith was pleased with the manner

in which his team bounced back from a season opening loss to Jasper.

“Our aggressiveness at the plate was evident against South Knox,” Smith stated. “We put a great deal of emphasis on be-ing aggressive with the bat after our loss at Jasper and I was pleased with how our young men responded. To be effective as a team this year we are going to have to put the bat on the ball and battle at the plate.”

One night earlier North Posey opened their season by fac-ing the third ranked team in Class 3A, Jasper, on the road. The Wildcats struck early and often in claiming an 11 – 1, six inning, win over the Vikings.

North Posey was held to two hits, while striking out eight times in the game. Tyler Stolz and Ryan Gish accounted for the Viking offense with one hit each in the contest. The lone run came in the sixth inning thanks to a throwing error by the Wildcat second baseman.

Despite the defeat the Viking coach identifi ed the opening contest as a step forward.

“Anytime you take on a Jasper baseball team you know you are facing one of the best, if not the best, programs in the state of Indiana. This year is no different, they are going to be a 3A powerhouse and I thought they played like it against us. I liked our approach at the plate through the fi rst three innings, but after that I thought we backed off on attacking pitches,” Smith recalled. “We got four pitchers some game action and were able to learn some things defensively, which will help us as we move through the season. All – in – all we learned a lot about where we are as a team and identifi ed a number of OFI’s (opportunities for improvement).”

North Posey spends the next week on the road playing at Evansville Mater Dei on Wednesday, Evansville Reitz on Thursday, Perry Central on Saturday, and Evansville North on Monday.

By Dave PearceOn March 17, North

Posey High School seniors Nick Neidig and Wes Har-ness were each awarded a 2012 Griddy by the India-napolis Colts and the Indi-ana Gridiron Digest. The honorees were recognized in a ceremony at the Colts Headquarters and Practice facility. Each year only 50 of Indiana’s best football players are recognized for success both on and off the fi eld.

This event is considered the Oscars® or ESPY's® of football in Indiana. These award recipients are chosen after a panel of media and coaches review over 18,000 varsity players in Indiana.

The Griddy Awards were held for the fi rst time in 2007, at the Indianapolis Colts® practice facilities and pavillion in Indianapo-

lis. Although it was the fi rst year, the concept started well before that fi rst event.

Indiana High School Football authority, Paul Condry, and his team at the Indiana Football Digest as well as Regional Radio Sports Network collabo-rated with the Colts organi-zation as well High School coaches to create a celebra-tion of Indiana High School Football once per year. This event would become the Os-cars® or ESPY's® of foot-ball in Indiana.

Each year, over 400 at-tendees to this banquet and award ceremony gather to-gether to recognize the best players, coaches, and media representatives in Indiana High School Football. These award recipients are chosen after a panel of media and coaches review over 18,000 varsity players in Indiana.

Football in Indiana is the passion of student athletes and their families, communi-ties and schools from North to South and East to West. The sport has been played in Indiana since the 1880's and the Griddy Awards car-ries on the tradition of rec-ognizing the importance of the team sport of football in Indiana High Schools.

Players, coaches, and me-dia members who support Indiana High School foot-ball are eligible to receive a Griddy. Although many players may demonstrate on-fi eld skills and stats, this is not the primary criteria for consideration. While the formula isn't always an ex-act science based on stats or a computer data analysis, it does include invaluable qualifi cations like charac-ter, community involvment, team leadership, and a pleth-

ora of other non-skill related assets.

A typical evaluation of a player would include in-terviewing all coaches in

a conference who compile a listing of players in their area which they believe are set apart... not only includ-ing their own schools, but

those they compete against. In addition, the players who would be considered must have made at least two All-State teams.

Giving back is my way of saying “Thank you.”

OFF

By Dave Pearce.The North Posey Lady

Vikings can see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, as the old adage goes, it could be light of the oncoming train.

After opening the soft-ball season with three of the toughest teams in the area, the Lady Vikings will fi nd things, if anything, tougher on Thursday when they will play perrennial

area power Gibson South-ern.

Unlike the teams they have faced so far, the Vi-kings are playing with several new and younger players on their roster.

They opened against three teams who each have eight of their nine start-ers back from last season. On Thursday, the Titans will be no different as they have almost everyone back from a very success-ful team last season.

But on Friday night and Saturday, the experi-ence of the older players showed through as the Vi-kings bowed to Henderson County by an 8-0 count. The Lady Vikings were able to muster only one hit in that contest, just as they did in the opener against Mater Dei.

But on Saturday, North Posey Coach Gary Gentil was able to see some im-provement from his team as they were able to garner fi ve hits over in Carmi, Ill., despite falling again by an identical 8-0 score.

“We hit the ball better, fi nally, over in Carmi,” Gentil said of his youth-ful troopers. “But we still were unable to string them together to get some runs in. We had fi ve hits against Carmi.”

The game could not have began much bet-ter for the homestanding Lady Bulldogs. Sopho-more hurler Ashley Schorr placed the fi rst pitch of the game just where her coaches wanted it, low and outside. However, Carmi’s lead-off batter was sitting on it and put the fi rst pitch of the game over the fence to give the Lady Bulldogs

a 1-0 lead.But after that, the Lady

Viking pitcher settled in and with a solid defense behind her, played even with the Lady Bulldogs through the fourth inning. But it would be in the fi fth and sixth innings when the defense got shaky and a couple of mental errors led to six runs for the Lady Bulldogs to salt the game away.

The Lady Vikings en-tered the Carmi game with a grand total of two hits and no runs in their fi rst two outings. Madi Elp-ers had the team’s only hit against Henderson County. But fi ve different players got hits and sev-eral others were robbed by great defensive plays on the part of the Lady Bull-dogs.

Kelsey Owen, Amy Brandenstein, Megan Baehl, Ashley Shorr and Anna Will each had base hits for the Lady Vikings against Carmi.

“We were pleased with how the defense was against Henderson County as we only had one error in that game. Henderson County is just an outstand-ing team and a great offen-

sive team,” Gentil said.The Lady Colonels did

what good hitting teams do. They got their timing down the fi rst time through the batting order and then began hitting the ball hard against Schorr. Gentil then brought in Hailee Elderkin who completed the game. Schorr pitched the entire game against Carmi.

“We just had those two innings against Carmi where we made a couple of errors,” Gentil said. “But like we told the girls, we are seeing improve-ment and we just have to make sure we remain posi-tive right now and pull to-gether. They just have to keep their heads up and re-alize the level of the com-petition right now. This team is very similar to the way the girls’ basketball team had to open up this year. They kept working and plugging away and ended up with a very good season. I think these girls are going to do the same thing.

After facing Gibson Southern on Thursday, the Lady Vikings will face Tell City on Friday and then will travel to the Barr-Reeve Invitational

By Dave Pearce.The North Posy high

school track teams got off in fi ne fashion on in a tri-angular meet versus South Spencer and Central on Monday, March 18 at Cen-tral High School.

“We knew the girls would be short-handed on Monday night,” said Head Girls’ Track Coach Leah Stormont. “With Emma (Werry), Tylie (Robert-son), and several girls recovering from injuries they suffered in the off-season, we knew we would need some other girls to step up,” she added.

And step up they did, although the girls did not beat either of the other two teams in the meet, they did manage to post 38 to-tal points with just seven girls and nearly surpassed South Spencer’s total of 40 points.

Central won the trifecta with a total of 61 points. Scoring fi rsts for the Lady Vikings were Junior Olivia Goebel in the 1600 meter run in a time of 6:03 and the other in the 3200 me-ter run with a winning time of 13:15.The Junior record-holder had a solid night running in very cold conditions and with snow threatening. Her two fi rsts were matched by Fresh-man Shelby Newcomer’s (who proved she was no new-comer to the oval) with 1:06 in the 400 meter run and 29.68 in the 200 meter run.

The Lady Vikings’ fi fth fi rst-place was scored by Mackenzie Orlik who crossed the fi nish line in 13.17 seconds in the 100 meter dash. The other Vi-king girls to contribute to the total point score were: Newcomer’s second in the long jump, Orlik’s sec-ond in the 400 meter run and third in the 800 meter run. Junior Marlee Sims chipped in two third place throws in the shot put and discus and Senior Abby Bender contributed with a fourth place throw in the discus.

The other girls making their debuts for the Lady Vikings this season were Freshman Robyn Bender in the shot put and discus, Junior Madeleine Martin in the mid-distances, Ju-nior Kaity Taylor in the throws and long jump.

“I am very proud of the way we performed in some adverse conditions and am looking forward to our next meet,” said Assistant Track Coach Leesa Kuhn.

The North Posey high school boys’ track team also opened their 2013 season in a triangu-lar track meet at Central High School versus Cen-tral and South Spencer. Although the boys were bested by the host school, who scored 87 1/2 points, and South Spencer, who scored 42 1/2 points, to North Posey’s 32 points, the boys had many solid performances.

North Posey could man-age just two fi rsts in the meet with Senior shot put-ter Austin Little leading the way with a throw of 41 feet 5 inches and Senior Mitchell Kuhn who won the 400 in 54.3 seconds.

The Vikings had three second place fi nishes with the 4 X 800 meter team of Junior Jonah Quirk, Ju-nior Mitchell Heldt, Junior Shane Martin, and Junior Jonah Cobb carrying the baton, Senior Alex Goebel fi nished second in the high jump, and Junior Zach Wargel threw for a second place in the discus. Cobb, Kuhn, Martin, and Wargel all fi nished in third place in the 110 meter high hurdles, 100 meter run, 3200 meter run, and shot put, respec-tively.

North Posey had three fourth-place fi nishes in the 400 meter run by Junior A.J. Sims, the 800 meter run by Heldt, and in the 200 meter run by Kuhn. Also getting their feet wet at Central were Ju-nior thrower Pat Donovan, Sophomore sprinter Cory Kern, Sophomore sprinter Lance Inkenbrandt, Fresh-man sprinter and thrower Derek Motz, Sophomore runner and thrower Gabe Mayer, Sophomore sprint-er and hurdler Collin Rus-sell, and Freshman sprinter Max Wright,

“I am hoping that ev-eryone gets a chance to crack the scoring column this year,” said Head Track

Coach Mike Kuhn. “Both the boys and the girls are working very hard to im-prove and are looking for-ward to our next meet,” he added.

Both the boys and girls are next in action on Thursday, April 8 at Princ-eton High School at 5 p.m.

The 40th ranked Univer-sity of Southern Indiana men’s tennis team are win-ners of fi ve straight, as it defeated Bellarmine Uni-versity 8-1 Saturday after-noon. The Screaming Eagles improve to 10-4 and 2-0 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, while Bellarm-ine falls to 11-6 and 0-2 in the league. USI opened the match with all three doubles points, but dropped No.1 singles, as senior Michael Kuzaj fell in three-sets 5-7, 7-6, 4-10. The Eagles, how-ever, went on to win the oth-er fi ve singles points. Senior Ben Boesing won his 13th straight singles match with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Carlos Antonioli. Freshman Jack Joyce was also a winner 6-0, 6-1. The Boesing and Joyce duo also continued their hot streak at No. 2 doubles as they were winners for the sixth straight match to run their record to 6-0. Junior Santiago Lopez and senior Juan Quiroz were also win-ners in singles as well, as Quiroz won 7-6, 7-5 at No.2

and Lopez took his victory 7-5, 7-5. USI returns to ac-tion Saturday when it travels to Lewis University for a 10 a.m. fi rst serve.

Despite winning all three doubles matches, the Uni-versity of Southern Indiana women’s tennis team fell in a Great Lakes Valley Con-ference tilt to Bellarmine University 5-4 Saturday afternoon. The Scream-ing Eagles dropped to 7-5 overall and 2-1 in the con-ference, while the Knights went to 11-5 and 3-0 in league action. Senior Lind-sey White and freshman Elizabeth Wilm got back on track with an 8-5 win at No. 1 doubles, while ju-nior Morgan Coquerille and freshman Elizabeth Skinner also won 8-5. Senior Ellena Stumpf and junior Shannon Joyce also took their match at No. 3 doubles 8-5. White won her fi rst singles set 6-4, but lost the next two 4-6, 4-6. At No.4 singles Stumpf got USI the point with a 7-6, 4-6, 6-2 win. With the match tied at four, it came down to

No. 6 singles. Senior Logan Ackerman and Bellarmine’s Abby Dorton went toe-to-

toe, but Dorton came out on top in a three-set thriller. Ackerman bounced back af-

ter falling in the fi rst set 6-7 to win 6-3, but dropped the fi nal set 6-2. The Eagles next

action is Thursday when they host Western Kentucky University at 3 p.m.

The print version of the 2013-14 Indiana Fishing Regulation Guide contains incorrect information on how fi sh can be taken below dams on the Ohio River.

The rule on Page 21 of the guide should state: ‘A person shall not take fi sh within 200 yards below any dam on the Ohio River ex-cept by fi shing pole or hand

line.’The word ‘except’ was

dropped inadvertently from a past year’s online version of Indiana fi shing regula-tions, and that incorrect text was carried over to this year’s print version.

Although the print ver-sion is incorrect, the lan-guage has been updated in the current online version of

the guide atdnr.IN.gov/fi sh-wild/2347.htm and eregula-tions.com/indiana/fi shing/.

The updated online ver-sion also contains a clarifi -cation on the bag limit for sauger. A chart on Page 14 now notes the daily limit for sauger, walleye and walleye-sauger hybrid is six fi sh in any combination of the three species. Size limits are unchanged – min-imum 14 inches for walleye and walleye-sauger hybrid (except on the Ohio River and the St. Joseph River in Elkhart and St. Joseph counties) and no minimum size on sauger.

Next week, we observe Earth Day. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day has grown into an international movement whose goal is to raise awareness of the need to take action to sustain a healthy, sustainable environ-ment. You can do your part through recycling and other measures, but you can also apply some of the lessons of Earth Day to your fi nancial situation — and, in particu-lar, to your approach to in-vesting.

Give these ideas some thought:

• Make the most of your existing resources. One of the most valuable lessons of Earth Day deals with the need to be responsible man-agers of the natural resourc-es we have available. As an investor, it’s important to maximize the benefi ts of the resources to which you have access. For example, are you contributing as much as you can afford to your 401(k)? At the very least, you should put in enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered.

• Take advantage of a

favorable environment. Underlying all Earth Day activities is the goal of cre-ating a healthy environment in which to live. You may also benefi t from a positive investment environment — and that’s what we appear to be experiencing, at least in terms of low interest rates, low infl ation and the fi nan-cial market. So in this favor-able atmosphere, look for those investment opportuni-

ties that are appropriate for your situation.

• Don’t over-consume. Ex-cess consumption has played a big role in causing some of the environmental issues we face. Consequently, many Earth Day programs teach us to get by with less, or at least to avoid acquiring more than we need. To translate this philosophy into your in-vestment habits, take a close look at the number of trades

you make. Are you constant-ly selling old investments and buying new ones in the hopes of capturing higher returns? This type of trading can result in signifi cant fees and transaction costs — and possibly higher taxes, too. Perhaps just as importantly, this constant activity, with all its starts and stops, may detract from your ability to follow a long-term, consis-tent investment strategy.

27, the Posey County Sher-iff’s Department and Indiana State Police investigated an accident west of Mount Ver-non.

According to information provided by Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth, both he and Posey County Prosecu-tor Travis Clowers were at the scene of the accident as it was being investigated. The crash occurred at ap-proximately 8:30 p.m. on State Road 62 between the intersections of Raben Road and Sand Road, east of the Wabash River Bridge.

According to informa-tion provided by Oeth, a 1996 Toyota passenger car driven by 57-year-old Davy L. Miller, of Carmi, Ill., was heading east on SR 62, when the vehicle crossed the center line, colliding with a 2008 Chevrolet passenger car being driven by 19-year-old Felicia Hampsten, of Grayville, Ill.

Miller’s vehicle then con-

tinued heading east before striking the north guardrail, ricocheting to hit the south guardrail, the north rail, then the south rail again. Miller’s vehicle traveled 1,100 feet after the collision, coming to a rest just before the Sand Road intersection.

Miller was taken to St. Mary’s by medical helicop-ter and was listed in critical condition.

Hampsten had two female passengers in her vehicle, one of them eight months pregnant. They were taken by ambulance to St. Mary’s, as well. All three women were treated and released with non severe injuries.

Alcohol and/or drugs are suspected as a contributing factor. Pending the toxicol-ogy report, the case will be sent to the Posey County Prosecutor for review.

Assisting the Sheriff’s Department were mem-bers of the Black Township Fire Department, the Posey County EMS, and the Indi-ana State Police. Above is the remains of a vehicle involved in an accident just west of Mount Vernon on March 27. Photo courtesy
