Violin class is a ‘go’ Area adults and students, interest- ed in learning to play violin, met at Hedges Central last Tuesday evening in an informal meeting to discuss starting a beginning violin class. Dennis Noon, conductor of the Wolfgang Orchestra stated, “I am excited with the interest and turnout for our informational meeting and the possibility of having six adults and five students (grades 5-12) in our first violin class. This could be- come a year-round program, with the interest expressed by the prospective violinists.” Noon is organizing the 12 evening class meetings with beginning registration on Tuesday, February 26 at 5:30 at the first class meeting. Late registration will be the follow- ing week on Tuesday, March 5 for those who are interested in joining the class. Music reading and the fun- damentals of violin playing will be geared for the serious beginner in an enjoyable class atmosphere. Cynthia Priem, Concertmaster and accom- plished Violinist with the Wolfgang Orchestra, is the instructor for the Violin Class. Cynthia assured the people who attended the information session Feb 19 that no prior knowl- edge of music is expected. Rebecca and Roger Wetzel, who sell stringed instruments, will be delivering violins for the first class meeting. For more information, call Dennis Noon at 838-4481. Class begins promptly at 5:30 and ends at 6:30. By Pam Robinson Already this year, two prominent New Harmony government leaders have stepped down from their of- fices. Last month during the regular town council meeting, President David Campbell announced the ab- sent Nathan Maudlin had retired as town attorney. This month during the regular town council meeting, Campbell was absent in person and in the roll call of council members. The agenda held a place for elec- tion of officers, namely a council member to fill the vacated presi- dent’s office. Presiding as president, council member Joe Straw first asked Clerk-Treasurer Karla Atkins to read Campbell’s letter of resigna- tion dated February 19, 2013: “Ef- fective this day, I resign from New Harmony Town Council.” Adding his signature, David R. Campbell thus left office. Straw said Atkins had sent a letter to the Chairman of the Republican Party. “David filed under the Re- publican candidate in 2011,” Straw stated, “and he’s serving his third term, the fourth year. He was into it a year here.” He then commended Campbell for his service to New Harmony. “I’d just like to say at this time, it’s been a pleasure working with David,” Straw said. “And I’d like to thank him for all the accomplish- ments that he made possible here for the Town of New Harmony.” Members of the audience punctuat- ed Straw’s statement with applause. In due order, Straw then asked for the election of a new president. “I’ll make the motion that you take that chair,” council member Don Gibbs stated. With no further nominations, the floor was closed, By Pam Robinson Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth along with MSD of Mount Vernon Supt. Tom Kopatich have spoken plainly about tomorrow’s after- school shooting simulation at Farm- ersville Elementary School: no stu- dents—no children at all—will be present during the simulation, and no actual ammunition will be fired though plenty of noise will be made. Oeth was present with Sgt. Russ Werkmeister of the Indiana State Po- lice, a certified hostage negotiator, to discuss the simulation at the Mount Vernon School Board meeting Mon- day, Feb. 18, 2013. During his presentation, Oeth said the purpose of the simulation was two-fold. First, it will better prepare MSD of Mount Vernon faculty and staff to act according to their written policies and procedures if a violent incident should occur. Second, law enforcement will time how fast they get to Farmersville Elementary when notified the simulation has started. “Hopefully, we’ll never be in that situation,” Oeth stated. In that event, however, he said it’s important for faculty and staff to be able to act quickly to gain control of the situa- tion. After tomorrow’s simulation, Farmersville staff will meet with the county and state law enforcement training them. Oeth quoted the old adage, “You perform and act as you train,” as the rationale behind the simulation. “Heaven forbid,” Oeth said, “that day should ever come [when a vio- lent incident occurs]. If it does, we’ll get through it, and we’ll get through it well because they [faculty and staff] know how to respond and what to do.” Kopatich said the MSD of Mount Vernon hopes eventually to provide simulations for all school faculty and staff. After the meeting, Oeth stated that it is hoped all schools will be scheduled for the simulated training by the end of this school year. Mount Vernon School Board members will be invited, one mem- ber at each simulation, to observe the process. Likewise, the MSD of North Posey will be observing the Farmersville simulation. In other business: •The board accepted the resigna- tion from Robert Seifert as industrial technology teacher at the junior and senior high schools effective Febru- ary 22, 2013, and from Justin Noyes as information systems foreman ef- fective March 15, 2013. Supt. Ko- patich said a long-term substitute teacher is already in place to fill Seifert’s position, which will later be posted to find a permanent replace- ment. In addition, he said Noyes’ position is being posted now on the MSD of Mount Vernon website. •The board accepted the conflict of interest disclosures from Kyle Jones, Tom Kopatich, Beth McFadin Higgins, Gary Redman, Chad Rod- gers, W. Tom Russell and Randall Woodall. •The board authorized leasing agreement renewals at Hedges Cen- tral School for one year beginning March 1, 2013, for the administra- tive offices of the Mount Vernon Homeless Shelter and the Commu- nity Action Program of Evansville (CAPE). •The board authorized student Sunday performances for Angelus and Cul on April 21 at Monastery Immaculate Conception in Ferdi- nand and for Angelus on April 28 at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in St. Philips. •The board granted permission to advertise for the school district’s fi- nancial services. •Kopatich announced that admin- istrative personnel are working on several grant proposals—for Vec- tren, Old National Bank and Toyota. •Kopatich reported that there were “no issues” and “no comments” in the recent State Board of Accounts’ audit report. He commended office secretaries, building secretaries and all finance personnel for their excel- lent work. The State Board of Ac- counts won’t conduct another school district audit for two years.

member Karen Walker seconded Gibbs’ motion. When the vote was called, council member Linda Warrum added her voice to the unanimous acclamation of Joe Straw as New Harmony Town President.

In other business:•New Harmony resident Jennifer Blay-

lock questioned whether town council had promised to maintain the trail featured in a 2007 grant application, which was denied, or to maintain the trail in the modifi ed 2008 grant application, which was approved. She then said she had spoken with a representa-tive of the Department of Natural Resourc-es, or DNR, and had learned the 2008 ap-plication provided the basis for the contract between the DNR and the Parks Board. She stated that the DNR didn’t care who main-tained the trail as long as it was maintained. She said if the Town of New Harmony didn’t agree to maintain the trail under the 2008 ap-plication, then the Parks Board must fi nance the maintenance of the trail on its own. She asked if new Town Attorney Adam Farrar would look into the matter, so town council might then make a decision regarding the trail in question. Town President Joe Straw then asked council member Linda Warrum to share her research and answer Blaylock’s concern. “In April 17, 2008, at that meeting, Ray [McConnell] was here and asked coun-cil to approve to apply for a grant, of Phase 2,” Warrum said. “He also stated that the town must approve submission of the appli-cation and agree to maintain the trail. And we did that. . . .It is public record.”

•Council approved the following ordi-nances: ordinance 2013-1 setting the town attorney’s salary at $165 per hour; ordi-nance 2013-2 stating that utilities remain in the property owner’s name; and ordinance 2013-3 calling for water conservation, par-ticularly in time of drought.

•With everything in order, the carriage ap-plication of the Apple Blossom Carriage Co. was approved by council.

•Clerk-Treasurer Karla Atkins distributed copies of the Bicentennial Plan dropped off by Connie Weinzapfel. Council was encour-aged to contact Weinzapfel with any ques-tions.

•Posey County Commissioner Jerry Walden was recognized in the audience. Walden said he’d been sitting in on meetings throughout the county “to come up to speed on what’s going on.” During the course of his brief conversation with council, Walden said he couldn’t make false promises, but if he could help in restoring a bridge to New Harmony, he would. Walden also mentioned money possibly coming into the county for economic development, including roads and

bridges.•Council voted to void outstanding

checks two years old as of Dec. 31, 2012, as directed by the State Board of Accounts. On the list was one check dated Nov. 19, 2010, in the amount of $51.

•Council welcomed new wastewater su-perintendent John Dailey to the meeting. Dailey said everything is in compliance and will be kept that way. He stated further that in-house testing had started.

•Council member Linda Warrum reported that the water department is cleaning the well, and the pump has arrived. Once the pump is installed, lines will be fl ushed to help with water discoloration now notice-able in New Harmony.

•Council member Don Gibbs announced that all stop signs and street signs must be replaced by federal mandate. Then, street superintendent Bobby Grider explained the town has no deadline for replacement, but must submit a program for replacement by June, 2014. Grider said the town would need to replace approximately 100 signs and poles at a minimum cost of $15,000 to $20,000 plus labor. Council member Don Gibbs encouraged town residents to provide input on sign color where choice is allowed.

•President Joe Straw reported the helicop-ter ramp had been poured and used at the fi re station, and it worked.

•A member of the audience questioned the 5 p.m. time for council meetings since people didn’t get off work early enough to attend the meetings.

By Dr. Steven HotzeOf the many truisms of-

fered by the Ancient Greeks, the benefi ts of moderation and balance in life is one of the most enduring. Unfortu-nately, maintaining biologi-cal balance as we age beyond midlife can be almost impos-sible – at least, without ap-propriate intervention, says Dr. Steven Hotze.

“People accept that our hormones slowly diminish as we age, but it has taken the mainstream medical commu-nity a very long time to accept that our hormonal imbalances cause age-related health problems,” says Dr. Hotze, founder of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, (www.hotzehwc.com), and author of “Hormones, Health and Hap-piness.”

“Fifteen years ago, the con-cept of hormone replacement therapy was widely consid-ered almost avant-garde. To-day, hormone-replacement medicine for ‘Low T,’ or low testosterone, is all the buzz.”

But not all hormone re-placement therapies are equal – or good for you, says Dr. Hotze.

Here are his answers to some frequently asked ques-tions.

“Is hormone replacement therapy dangerous?” We hear plenty in the media about how the therapy is linked to breast and prostate cancer, but what is not mentioned is the distinction between syn-thetic and bioidentical hor-mones. The latter have the same molecular structure as the hormones that are found naturally in the body, which means bioidentical hormone treatments cannot hurt pa-tients. Counterfeit hormones – those that do not perfectly match the molecular structure

of hormones in one’s body – can be dangerous.

“I’ve had many tests and tried many treatments for my problems. If they were hormone-related, wouldn’t have that been discovered be-fore now?” Physicians can’t and shouldn’t rely solely on lab tests for diagnoses and pharmaceutical drugs for treatment. A very thorough patient history and evaluation of symptoms, in addition to standard diagnostic tests, can reveal an underlying hormon-al problem.

“My blood test indicated nothing irregular, but I suffer symptoms including fatigue, anxiety and weight gain; what’s going on?” Blood

tests can lie – patients do not. If you have symptoms, but your physician tells you your blood work came back “nor-mal,” specifi cally regarding your thyroid, you should real-ize that 95 percent of people tested fall within a range considered normal. However, that doesn’t mean it is normal for you. Also, remember, you can send the same blood to two different labs and get two different results.

Are women more prone to hypochondria? My physician cannot link my symptoms to a cause … No, it’s not “all in your head.” Women tend to be more attentive to their body for good reason – the menstrual cycle causes wom-

en to experience different hormonal states almost on a daily basis. Women can also experience dramatic physical effects during menopause, when hormones drop signifi -cantly. The dramatic physical changes can occur at multiple points. After childbirth is in-creasingly common, as well.

“A lot of the symptoms we normally associate with aging – muddied thinking, weight gain, tiring easily – are ac-tually occurring because of diminished hormone produc-tion,” Hotze says.

“Hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones can actually make some patients feel young again.”

The Posey Humane Soci-ety has fi nished a remodel-ing project at the Leonard Road shelter that will al-low cats more interaction. The cat dens give our cats a chance to interact with other cats in a colony type environment. They learn to live with multiple cats, learn to be introduced to new cats as the den popu-lation changes as well as having much more freedom of movement. It develops

a more normal living situ-ation as compared to cage settings seen in most shel-ters.

We have 2 large rooms for adults cats and even a smaller room for kittens. This allows over half of our cats to live in these free-roaming rooms. Currently we have over 60 cats. We can match whatever you de-sire: male/female, certain colors, and all ages. Please stop by and view our cat

dens. Take some time to sit and play with the cats, even if you aren’t ready to adopt just yet.

Looking for other ways to help out? Our high needs for supplies this week in-clude: dry adult cat food, clay litter, and large trash bags (33 gals or larger). Donations can be taken to the shelter at 6500 Leon-ard Road, north of Hawg N Sauce, or to the offi ce of Dr. Sarah Appel.

By Pam YoungMen are weird when

they’re hungry. I learned this early in my marriage to Terry. When it was dinner time he used to always be ravenous and, quite frankly, I didn’t like him when he was that way. He didn’t act mean or cranky like some men do; he just acted like he’d skipped his meds. He’s sort of a combination of Cramer (in the sitcom Seinfeld) and Barney Fife (in The Andy Griffi th Show). But when he’d get hungry he’d be like those two characters on speed.

Famished men defi nitely act differently than famished women. It doesn’t surprise me at all that Swanson didn’t think to name their large por-tioned TV dinner, Hungry Woman Dinner, even though an average lady can put one away with no problem. No one addresses the idea of a hungry woman because, quite frankly, we never are. That’s because we snack. From the time we are young-sters; we spend more time in the kitchen and therefore have more access to food than men do. If we work out-side of our homes we carry

with us a snacking pattern gleaned from generations of female snackers. I would bet that more business women have snacks in their drawers at work than men do. And men don’t have purses (a natural snack sack) in which to tuck treats.

Men love hors d’oeuvres because they send a chemi-cal message to the male brain that tells the animal there is food ready to eat, now. The hors d’oeuvres go straight into the blood stream, as-suring the organism that all is well. I think men like hors d’oeuvres more than women do, because women don’t need them like men do. When I fi x dinner, frequently I hors d’oeuvre myself into a bloated stupor before I’ve sat down to the dinner table.

Hors d’oeuvres don’t have to take much time to prepare. They can food from the main meal held out and put on a special plate. Say you’re having roast chicken; just throw the cooked gizzard, heart and liver in the Cuis-nart with a little onion, cel-ery, garlic and mayo, smear it on a couple of crackers and put it on a fancy plate that doesn’t match anything

else in your china cupboard. (You can fi nd such plates and bowls at any reputable ga-rage sale.)

Hors d’oeuvres can come from a refrigerator clean out. It doesn’t really matter as long as it is served immedi-ately

In French, hors d’oeuvres means outside of work. The French were very clever to name this part of a meal, hors d’oeuvres because a hungry husband just outside of work needs something in his stomach. The French are also known for being roman-tic. They probably thought up the saying, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” I think that is true. If you want to stop fi ghting over stupid things like who used the last square of toilet paper and didn’t replace the roll, serve hors d’oeuvres. If your marriage is threatened by quibbling over who uses all the gas in the car and coasts it into the driveway, serve hors d’oeuvres right there in the garage. If your husband expects you to be a natural navigator and you can’t read a map unless the map and the car are going in the same direction, have hors’ d’oeuvres in the front seat and you’ll be home free.

Hors d’oeuvres could save your marriage. Wouldn’t it be a shame if the only thing standing in the way of hap-pier marriages was a glob of tuna salad on a couple of nice crisp romaine lettuce leaves?

In the middle of winter, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari are heating up two of

the Internet’s top travel web-sites.

CBS News Travel Edi-tor Peter Greenberg today named Holiday World and the town of Santa Claus as a top pick for “wacky” fam-ily-friendly road-trip des-tinations. Wackiness aside, Greenberg’s “The Travel Detective” website calls the town “one of the friendli-est places to visit in the en-tire country,” citing Holiday World’s free soft drinks, parking and sunscreen.

Meanwhile, the park’s newest water coaster – Mam-moth – is in the running to be named “Best New Wa-ter Park Ride” on About.com, one of the nation’s top 35 most-visited websites. The world’s longest water

coaster, Mammoth received a number of industry awards last fall; this is Mammoth’s fi rst nomination for a nation-al awards program open to public voting. About.com’s Readers Choice Awards, which cover numerous cate-gories, are open for daily vot-ing through March 19. (Vote here: http://themeparks.about.com/b/2013/02/19/readers-choice-awards-best-new-water-park-ride-2012.htm)

Holiday World’s 67th sea-son begins May 4; the pre-miere of Hyena Falls – four new in-the-dark water slides – is May 10, Splashin’ Sa-fari’s opening day. For more information, visit the park’s website at HolidayWorld.com or call 1-877-463-2645.

Bliss Artisan Ice Cream

For several weeks, New Harmony residents have wondered what has been going on at the Cooper House, the home of Vintage Harmony located next to The Opera House on Church Street.

According to the building’s new tenants, that question will be answered this weekend in a big way when Bliss Artisan Ice Cream will open for business at 10 a.m. on Friday morning.

Mike and Angie Woodburn have worked together for six months in their New Harmony home perfecting homemade ice cream recipes. On Friday, some 13 fl avors of ice cream, all home made, will be unveiled to the public for tasting and purchase.

Homemade fl avors to tempt the tastes include cotton candy, cake batter, chocolaty chocolate, Madagascar vanilla bean, double vanilla, blueberry cheesecake, pretzel and brown sugar, salty caramel, Chai Tea, strawberry, pistachio, coffee (from the beans of TJ Roasters, Terry and Jody VanBibber, of rural Wadesville), malted chocolate chunk, bittersweet raspberry, and strawberry. All fl avors are made

from natural ingredients and the Woodburns want to support the Posey County community by picking local berries and using all local products whenever possible.”

While ice cream will be the store’s center attraction, the store will be a continuation of the shop the Woodburns began across the street about a year ago. The store that carried home-made candles and creams along with artistic pieces was successful to the point they needed more room. When Sara’s Harmony Way vacated the building and moved to the corner of Main and Church streets, it provided the perfect opportunity for the store to have more room for handcrafted items and yes…ice cream.

While the basic ice creams will be available at all times, the fl avors and recipes will change as demand or suggestion foster creation.

Surreal surroundings can take visitors as far back as most can remember, or even farther, as the décor looks more like a throwback to Andy Griffi th in Mayberry than an ice cream store. The store is complete with several varieties of stick candy as well as jars of Dad’s Root Beer barrel hard candy, saltwater taffy, Lemon Head candy, and Atomic Fireballs to tempt even the most discriminating pallet. Clear glass bottles of Dad’s Root Beer, Dad’s Diet Root Beer, Red Crème Soda, Orange Crème Soda, Blue Crème Soda, and regular Crème Soda, to be served in Dad’s glass mugs are within arm’s length and will be available for anyone

who wants to take a few minutes and relax, and perhaps imagine themselves in a simpler time.

“When we were trying to come up with a name, we wanted it to remain consistent with what New Harmony is,” Woodburn said. “So we started looking for synonyms of the word Utopia. Bliss just happened to be one of those. We are in an artisan community. We didn’t want you to be able to go anywhere else and get anything like what we created here.”

The Woodburns have gone to great lengths to make sure the items, particularly the food items, are not available anywhere else. As a matter of fact, the ice cream fl avors can be found in only one place on the entire planet, at Bliss Artisan. They will package the ice cream under their own label in smaller containers to ensure freshness and variety. They use milk cream, cane sugar, and the fi nest ingredients from small and hopefully local suppliers.”

“We will not sell sundaes, shakes or banana splits because you can get those things in other places,” Woodburn explained. “All of the ice cream we sell is made right here from the ground up. “They have even come up with their own recipes for waffl e cones which they will also create and fi nish at the store.

“When you use the word artisan, it means ‘hand-crafted’ and that means everything.

About six months ago, the Woodburns took a “day trip” north and found themselves relaxing in

the shop of a man who had come up with the recipes for all his own ice creams as they were looking for a supplier for the shop that was already in the works.

“We sat there and ate some and it was delicious and when we walked out, I looked at Mike and just said jokingly ‘you could do that.’ I wasn’t expecting that he would actually do that,” Woodburn said. Then about two days later, her he comes waltzing in with all these ingredients and started all kinds of craziness up in the kitchen. I tasted the fi rst batch of ice cream that he made and I said ‘Babe, I think we might be on to something’. The fi rst batch was vanilla bean. The taste was somewhat of an unexpected ‘Bliss’.”

From that point, Woodburn began to work on fl avors he felt would be appealing.

“When people come into town, many of them come here because of the artistry,” she said. “We want our ice cream to be consistent with the other artisan things here in our town. There are so many things hand-crafted here. Rick Gooden is going to be hand-crafting some incredible items that will be available here.”

There will be limited seating inside and 25 seats on the patio outdoors. The Woodburns are anxious for Thursday evening to arrive so they can begin the transformation they have been planning in their home and the business basement for months.

“We have tried and failed on well over 100 recipes over the

past few months and we believe we have everything ready for a discriminating public,” Woodburn said. “I can’t tell you how many batches have gone straight down the drain because we want everything to be perfect.”

The public is invited to come out for a free taste of what’s new in town this weekend when they will host Free mini-Float Friday and Free mini-Scoop Saturday from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and on Sunday, the shop will open from noon until 4 p.m. with Free mini-cone Sunday.

Bliss Artisan Ice Cream will be open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. The shop will close on Thursday and be open on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m.

“That will allow people to have dinner and then come out and have some ice cream for dessert,” Woodburn said. “And we offer ‘a little bit of this and a little bit of that’.”

By Valerie WerkmeisterPosey County Commis-

sioners helped temporarily re-lieve Raben Road area farm-ers’ concerns at last week’s evening meeting, regarding the recent bridge closure. The commissioners gave high-way superintendent, Steve Schenk, the nod to seek bids for a “Band-Aid”-type repair

to the bridge. In January, Schenk in-

formed commissioners that the bridge had been struck by something very large—possibly as large as 30 tons. Results from a recent bridge inspection revealed that the seven-ton weight limit bridge could be repaired and retain the same weight limit. Schenk

stated the weight limit deter-mination is set following the fi ndings of a bridge study utilizing federal guidelines. The overall tonnage has de-creased over the years due to the deterioration and age of the bridge. He added it would take a lot of money to build the bridge up to a 10-ton limit.

Long-time farmer, David

Reese, stated, “A Band-Aid will get us through for a while, but I’m looking long-term.” Reese, like many oth-ers would like to see a new bridge built and questioned the availability of federal funds for the project.

Schenk stated the process to obtain federal funds is long and tedious, taking as much

as seven years. Commissioners explained

they are currently committed to the new bridge construc-tion behind Wesselman’s Shopping Center in Mount Vernon. The construction cost is unknown until the project goes out for bid and is com-pleted. They stated the Raben Road Bridge would be placed

high on the priority list fol-lowing the completion of the Wesselman’s bridge.

Commissioners approved Sheriff Greg Oeth’s recom-mendation to purchase and install security cameras at the Hovey House and Coliseum. Prosecutor Travis Clow-ers spoke in favor of main-taining his offi ce within the Hovey House. While Clowers and Oeth do not anticipate the need for armed security guards at the facility, they felt the utilization of camera surveillance and door buzzer system would be effective.

Oeth stated that since the camera system was updated at the jail, they have been able to monitor the inmates and have caught several in the act of destroying jail property. Those individuals were able to be charged and prosecuted for those crimes and ultimate-ly had to pay restitution.

The cameras will be pur-chased from and installed by Cellular Nation, Inc. of Evansville. The cost at the Hovey House will be $3,245.50 and the system for the Superior Court area will cost $4,914.

The Coliseum roof will soon be replaced after a re-cent lightning strike. The roof was patched following the lightning damage sustained in late December. High winds have further damaged the roof patch and the commissioners felt that due to the roof’s 15-year age, it is wise to replace the entire roof. Insurance has covered some of the replace-ment cost. The county’s por-tion will be $37,830.06.

A monthly service agree-ment with Tru Green Lawn

Service was approved in the amount of $130 per applica-tion. The company will apply chemicals and seeding to the courthouse lawn for a total of four applications. The service does not include mowing.

The commissioners ap-proved the appointment of George Postletheweight to the Posey County Redevelop-ment Board. His appointment will be for a one-year term. John Denning was appointed to serve on the Emergency Medical Services Board and Richard Mayer will serve on the Wadesville-Blairsville Regional Sewer District Board.

Commissioners created a new drainage board com-prised of farmers living throughout the county. Presi-dent Carl Schmitz remarked that it was easy to fi nd volun-teers to sit on the board as the problem is important to farm-ers throughout the county. They appointed Matt Schenk, Dale Koester, Tim Hoenert, and Scott Becker. Commis-sioner Jerry Walden will also sit on the board. Their fi rst meeting will be in March.

All county offi cials are now legally bonded through Schultheis Insurance. They were previously out of com-pliance and were not aware they needed to approve the measure during their fi rst meeting of the year.

The next meeting is altered from the regular meeting schedule due to a schedul-ing confl ict with road school training for the commission-ers. Instead of the normal Tuesday morning time, it will be held on Monday, March 4, at 9 a.m. in the Hovey House.

North Posey High School Student Council is hosting a Riley Dance Marathon on March 8 from 5-9 p.m. in the main gym at North Posey. People of all ages are invited to attend. We are asking for a $5 donation at the door for

all non-high school attendees. This will benefi t Riley Hospi-tal for Children at IU Health, Indiana’s only comprehen-sive children’s hospital. There will be dancing, games, infl atables, and snacks. Local families who have used Riley

Hospital will be in attendance to share their stories.

Faith is something we act on every day. When I sit in a chair, I have faith in the chair that it will hold me safely. When I eat a meal, I have faith that the food is safe, that it will nourish and give me strength. Faith is “acting” on what I believe. It is not something that I have

to search for every time I am making a decision. That faith comes from the experi-ences that we are involved in every day. It comes from the decisions we make and the results we get. But the Chris-tian knows and experiences a different kind of faith: a faith that comes from the Lord and

guides our choices in life.Our Lord gives us a faith

that works wonders. The faith that He gives us is not only to believe in Him or about Him, but to believe in Him for our salvation. Without this faith we cannot know Him as our Savior and Lord. The Bible tells us that

even the devil believes that Jesus is the Son of God. We must do more than believe we must receive Him. God’s Word tells us that it is not our good works that save us, but the grace He gives us to ac-cept Him as our Savior.

Resolutions authored by State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) to honor fallen Indiana police of-fi cers passed the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, Transportation and Veterans Affairs today with unanimous support.

Senate Concurrent Resolutions 10, 11 and

12, which all passed 9-0, would urge the Indiana Department of Transporta-tion to rename sections of I-69 for Offi cer Michael E. Deno, Trooper William J. "Joe" Trees and Sgt. John E. Hatfull, respectively. These Hoosiers all lost their lives in the line of duty.

“It’s important that we do this, to preserve the memory of these individu-als and the sacrifi ces they made pursuing the cause of public service,” Tomes said. “These memorials are small ways we can honor the lives they led and the full measures they gave for Indiana.”

Offi cer Deno, a member of the Oakland City Fire Department, Sommerville Gun Club and a 1999 grad-uate of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, was active as a member of the Oakland City com-munity. He was killed by a gunshot wound during a traffi c stop on Feb. 28, 2000. Deno was only 24 years old.

Trooper Trees, a Navy Vietnam War Veteran and Indiana State Police Of-fi cer, was assigned to the Evansville Post. He helped establish a community teen center in Oakland City, coached little league base-

ball there and was a mem-ber of Our Savior Lutheran Church. On June 26, 1972, Trees was killed in an ac-cident while in pursuit of a traffi c violator.

Sgt. John Hatfull – an England native – joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1961 and served for four years. He was an active state offi cer for 14 years, and was killed on April 17, 1987, while leading an Emergency Response Team in Posey County.

“I want to thank Sena-tors Lindel Hume, John Waterman and Lonnie Randolph for co-authoring these important resolutions with me,” Tomes said. “But most of all, we all owe thanks to the families, friends and communities who raised, supported and loved these public servants of Indiana.”

SCRs 10, 11 and 12 would designate the I-69 southbound bridge over the Potoka River at mile marker 38.63 for Deno, the northbound bridge at mile marker 37.81 for Trees and the Interstate-64 bridge over the Big Bayou River for Hatfull.

Senator Tomes urges memorials for fallen offi cers

By Thomas Ruder, Edward JonesFor the fi rst time since 2008, contribution

limits have risen for one of the most popu-lar retirement savings vehicles available: the IRA. This means you’ve got a greater op-portunity to put more money away for your “golden years.”

Effective Jan. 1, you can now put in up to $5,500 (up from $5,000 in 2012) to a tra-ditional or Roth IRA when you make your 2013 contribution. And if you’re 50 or older, you can put in an additional $1,000 above the new contribution limit.

Over time, the extra sums from the higher contribution limits can add up. Consider this example: If you put in $5,000 per year to an IRA for 30 years, and you earned a hy-pothetical 7% per year, you’d wind up with slightly over $505,000. But if you contribut-ed $5,500 per year for those same 30 years, and earned that same 7% per year, you’d ac-cumulate almost $556,000 — about $51,000 more than with the lower contribution limit.

Keep in mind that if you have invested the above amounts in a traditional, tax-deferred IRA, you’ll be taxed on your withdrawals at your ordinary income tax rate. With a Roth IRA, your contributions are made with after-tax funds, but your withdrawals have the po-tential to be tax-free — provided you’ve had your account at least fi ve years and don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re 59½. (Not everyone is eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA, as income limits apply.)

If you have an IRA, you already know its advantages. If you aren’t investing in an IRA, you should be aware of these key ben-efi ts:

• Tax-deferred growth — A traditional IRA can provide tax-deferred growth while

a Roth IRA can potentially grow tax-free, provided you meet the conditions described above. To get a sense of just how valuable these tax advantages are, consider this ex-ample: If you put in $5,500 per year (the new IRA maximum) for 30 years to a hypotheti-cal investment that earned 7% a year, but on which you paid taxes every year (at the 25% tax bracket), you’d end up with slightly more than $401,000 — about $155,000 less than what you’d accumulate in an IRA. As mentioned above, you will eventually have to pay taxes on your traditional IRA with-drawals, but by the time you do, you might be in a lower tax bracket. Furthermore, de-pending on your income level, some of your contributions to a traditional IRA may be tax-deductible. (Roth IRA contributions are not deductible.)

• Variety of investment options — You can invest your funds within your IRA in many types of investments — stocks, bonds, certifi cates of deposit (CDs), U.S. Treasury securities and so on. In fact, within your IRA, you can create a mix of investments that are suitable for your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. Of course, in-vesting always carries some risks, including loss of principal — but the risk of not invest-ing may be greater, in terms of not having enough assets for retirement.

Here’s one more point to keep in mind: The earlier in the year you “max out” on your IRA contributions, the more time you’ll give your account to potentially grow. By reach-ing the new, higher contribution limits, and by fully funding your IRA as early in each year as possible, you can help yourself take full advantage of this powerful retirement savings tool.

Johnna Denning, Direc-tor of the Posey County Community Foundation has been awarded a scholarship by the Council on Foundat ions . The Council on Foundations is a national nonprofi t asso-ciation of more than 1,700 grant-making foundations and corporations. As the leading advocate for philanthropy, they strive to increase the effectiveness, stewardship, and accountability of their sector while providing their members with the services and support they need to advance the common good.

Denning will be attend-

ing Foundations on the Hill (FOTH) with this scholar-ship and will be the Rural

C o m m u n i t y F o u n d a t i o n representative. She will have the opportu-nity to speak to members of Congress about philanthropy. Since 2003, the Council on

Foundations and the Forum of Regional As-sociations of Grantmak-ers have co-sponsored Foundations on the Hill, an annual opportunity for grantmakers and regional associations to meet with their federal lawmakers in Washington, D.C.

During Foundations on

the Hill, regional associa-tions, working with foun-dation trustees, executives and staff, schedule meet-ings on Capitol Hill to per-sonally discuss their work with members of Congress. In addition to congressional meetings, participants at-tend training sessions, and the ACR Summit for Lead-ers, a public policy confer-ence on current issues im-pacting philanthropy and nonprofi ts, and strategies for effectively advancing philanthropy with poli-cymakers. In addition to the scholarship the Posey County Community Foun-dation will receive a small award for Denning to share what she learned at FOTH with Southwestern region when she returns.

By Steven KocherspergerComing into the fi nal games of the basketball season

Mount Vernon coach Marc Hostetter was hoping for his team to gain some momentum for the sectionals and maybe even steal a win from either Bosse or Castle. And while playing on the road against these two great teams is a tough task for anyone, the Wildcats kept their heads up looking for any av-enue to get better as a team and prepare for this week. And when the week ended the Cats had dropped both road games and now head into sectionals hoping to end a three-game los-ing streak.

“There are more ways to gain momentum and prepare for the sectionals than winning games,” Hostetter said. “We are looking to get better every time we take the court and have been focusing on doing things better on every offensive and defensive possession.”

This focus was evident Tuesday at Bosse as the Wildcats had a very slow start and were able to claw their way back from 20 points down in the fi nal period of play. It wouldn’t be enough though for the Wildcats as they dropped the game 73-59.

The game opened with the Bulldogs going on a 13-0 run and Mount Vernon found themselves down big-time and not able to do much of anything to get back into the game. That changed midway through the period as Drake McNamara and Bryce Newman hit big baskets to propel the Cats to a run of their own to eventually pull within seven points at the end of the opening period.

The Bulldogs would pull away from the Wildcats though and stretch their lead to 43-29 at the half. This lead would

be stretched even further in the third period and at one point Bosse had a 61-39 lead early in the fourth period. But Mount Vernon turned on the intensity in their game and made a 14-3 run that had them feeling confi dent down only 11 points at 64-53. But Bosse would put the game away as the clock would become an issue for Mount Vernon and the fi nal buzz-er sounded with the score 73-59 in favor of the Bulldogs.

“Some of the intensity we had in the second half has got to be there from the beginning,” Hostetter said.”We didn’t have a few of our guys playing tonight and when you play short-handed,you have to play with better intensity. The effort we put forth in the end of the third and in the fourth quarters are what we need to win games.”

The Wildcats were led in scoring by senior Brian Koch who had 23 points to lead all scorers in the game. Junior Bryce Newman added 14 for the Wildcats and Colton Irvin had 13 as well in the contest.

The Wildcats turned their attention to Castle High School Friday night as they took on the Knights in the fi nal game of the season. Mount Vernon pulled within three points at the half but Castle would respond by pulling ahead and taking control of the game in the second half. There was not much the Wildcats could do from there as the Knights went on to win easily 78-52. Bryce Newman had 15 points and Collin Varner added 10 in the contest for the Wildcats.

The loss to Castle ends the regular season for the Wildcats. Mount Vernon ended with a record of 16-6 and now enters sectional play this week in Boonville.

The Cats will play Friday night against the winner of Gib-son Southern and Boonville.

By Dave PearceThis has been the year of

much illness in the State of Indiana. The fl u has taken its toll on many events, com-munities, and even sports teams. But it appears the North Posey Vikings are suffering from something that only they can care and it must come from within. That is commonly known as “senioritis.”

The Vikings played their last four games on the road and should be road battled-ready when the square off against South Spencer at the Southridge Sectional this week, but the Vikings are going to have to overcome one adversary…themselves, to be able to accomplish the only real goal they set for themselves this season. That goal was to win the sectional.

“That’s a good thing about the tournament,” Howington said after Friday’s game. “It doesn’t matter how you fi n-ished the last few games of the season, the slate is wiped clean. The tournament is up for grabs and the coaching staff is going to continue to put our team in the best pos-sible position to win.”

In a make-up game at Southridge earlier in the week, the Vikings appeared to have possibly righted the ship when they went into Raider country and held a two-point half-time lead.

The Vikings got off to their typical slow start and trailed 17-12 to the 16-3 Raiders. But a strong second quarter showed that the Vi-kings have the potential to beat any team in the section-al. They outscored the Raid-ers 16-9 in the second period to take the narrow half-time lead.

But in the second half, the wheels came off for the Vikings, despite trailing by only six points heading into the fi nal period. But the Vi-king offense sputtered and nearly died completely as it appeared that the Raid-ers wanted the win worse than the Vikings. They came away with a 61-46 victory.

The scenery was different but the scenario was nearly the same on Friday night as the Vikings fell to the Gib-

son Southern Titans by a 67-54 count.

North Posey Coach Heath Howington was visibly shaken following the second loss of the week, leaving the

Vikings with an 8-13 record overall heading into the sec-tional. The Vikings fi nished tied with the Titans in the conference standings, each at 4-4.

“One of the things we talked about just before the game was going out on their senior night and getting

them down early…winning the fi rst two minutes,” Howing-ton said. “Obviously, that didn’t happen.”

Just a little over two minutes into the contest, the Vikings were already facing a 9-2 defi cit as they fell behind 5-0 be-fore Wes Harness scored on a drive.

“You have to give Gibson Southern credit,” Howington said. “They came out with some fi re on senior night. They were led by their seniors. We came out fl at at the start. That continues to be a puzzle for the coaching staff.”

The fi rst half was pretty much the Harness show as the 5-foot-10 guard scored 19 of the team’s 31 points. The shooters could not fi nd the range from outside and 6-foot-8 senior Spencer Schmitt put a damper on any ideas the Vi-kings might have had about going inside.

“We had a hard time keeping them in front of us and judg-ing from our shot chart, the majority of their shots came from inside the paint,” Howington said.

But early on, back-to-back-to-back 3-point baskets by se-nior guard Brandon Staback put the Vikings in a 22-10 hole and it appeared they might be blown completely out of the Gibson Southern gym.

“We did not communicate well and that was pretty much the story of the ballgame,” Howington said. “He got away from us three times there. That was one of the fi rst things on our scouting report was that he was a great 3-point shooter.”

But a better defensive effort and some aggressive offen-sive play had the Vikings back to within 35-31 at the half.

Kyle Whitmore hit a three, James Marshall hit a pair of free throws, and Alec Werry found Damon Cardin breaking for the basket on the fi nal shot of the half to narrow the gap.

But the Titans learned some things in the fi rst half, mainly that if they wanted to win, they were going to have to shut down Harness. And they did.

“They made some adjustments at half time and they chased Wes all over the fl oor,” Howington said. “I thought the third quarter we didn’t adjust to that very well and were stagnant offensively. And our shot selection was not where it needed to be. We only scored eight points in the third quarter.”

But despite a rough third quarter, the game was not out of reach at the end of the third quarter as a 3-pointer by Whit-more pulled the Vikings to within nine at 48-39 heading into the fi nal period.

But the Titans scored the fi rst two points of the fi nal period and the Vikings never got closer than nine points throughout the remainder of the game.

But if there was one play that Howington thought summed up the Viking effort, it was with about fi ve minutes remain-ing in the game and the 6-foot-8 Schmitt at the free throw line.

He made the fi rst shot and missed the second. But no one blocked out the shooter and he rebounded his own missed free throw and threw down an explosive dunk, much to the delight of the Titan crowd and the Vikings were, for the

most part, done.“Schmitt is one of the most talented players in our confer-

ence and he showed that tonight, especially in the second half,” Howington said. “He played like a senior.”

Howington said the Vikings just did not achieve the goals the coaching staff had set for them and therefore, did not fi nd themselves in a position to have a chance to win, espe-cially later in the game.”

“On our scouting report, we had ‘take advantage of tran-sition opportunities,’ ‘have great shot selection,’ ‘get to the free throw line,’ and ‘crash the glass’,” Howington said. “I didn’t think we accomplished those keys. We only got to the free throw line six times.”

By Steven KocherspergerIt’s that time of year again and March Madness is upon us.

The high school sectional basketball games begin this week and for the Mount Vernon boys’ basketball team the section-als look to be a great place for redemption. The Wildcats hope to take the lessons they have learned this season and continue their great run in Boonville this week.

But what will it take for Mount Vernon to take a sectional crown? Coach Hostetter believes the team that wins the sec-tional will be the team that plays unselfi sh team basketball.

“To win this sectional you have to be able to a few things well,” Hostetter said.” First you have to be able to defend man-to-man in the half court situations and get stops. That will help in executing the offense. You have to be able to play hard all four quarters and play together as well. If you do that you will be able to win every game you play. “

This is a sectional that has a good mixture of teams in it. On Tuesday the opening game will be Princeton (10-12) tak-ing on Memorial (9-11). The winner of that game will play Bosse (17-5) on Friday. Mount Vernon (16-6) will play Friday against the winner of Tuesday night’s match up between Gib-son Southern (8-14) and Boonville (8-13).

The overall favorite seems to be Bosse who has star junior JaQuan Lyle back in the lineup and is playing great basketball to end the season. But in sectional play no one is guaranteed anything. And according to coach Hostetter the winner will be the team that plays best as a team.

Defense will play a huge part in post season play. Mount Vernon has held its opponents to an average of 59 points a game this season, the best a defensive Wildcats unit has done since the 2004-2005 season when the Cats held their oppo-nents to 54 points a game. The Cats were able this season to hold Gibson Southern to 39 points and Boonville to 44 points in their games and hope to continue those great efforts this week.

Offensively Mount Vernon has averaged 63 points a game this season. The team has seen great games from seniors Brian Koch and Collin Varner as well as junior Bryce New-man offensively and hope to continue to see great games from all their players. In the fi nal three games of the season alone Newman has averaged 15 points a game while Koch has aver-

aged 16 a game. They have also seen great performances off the bench from players like Colton Irvin who had 13 against Bosse and 18 at Mount Carmel to help the Cats.

But it will not be the individual efforts that Mount Vernon will rely on this week in post-season play. The Wildcats will need to pull together as a team and rely on one another to get things done on the court.

Mount Vernon has fared well this season against their sec-tional opponents. The Wildcats ended up 4-1 against their sectional foes with the only loss coming last week at Bosse High School.

Mount Vernon has lost three of their last four sectional games with their last sectional win coming in 2009 against Bosse. But this season has been a very good season for the Wildcats.

So how far could Mount Vernon go? As far as they want if only they believe in themselves and in each other. Good Luck Wildcats!

Nicholas J. WildemanPosey County Auditor

Published in the Posey County News on February 26, 2013

By Steven KocherspergerWhat a year it was for the Mount Vernon girls’ basketball

team. On Thursday evening the team, coaches, and parents all gathered at Mount Vernon High School to honor the in-dividual efforts as well as the team efforts that led this team to one of its best seasons the school has ever seen. This team went 16-5 on the season and ended up second in the confer-ence behind the undefeated Mount Carmel Aces.

On Thursday the team congratulated three Wildcats on being selected to the All Big Eight Conference team. Those members were junior Ellen Foster, senior Jacey Ritzert, and

freshman Alexis Nall. Mount Vernon was the only team to have three selections to the all conference team and the Wild-cats made up 30% of the team.

At the banquet the coaches gave out the coaches award to senior Jade Dixon. Dixon was a four year letter winner who fi nished 16th on the Mount Vernon High School all time scor-ing list with 496 points. This is very impressive considering the amount of injury time that sidelined her the past few years.

The Newcomer of the year award was given to freshman Alexis Nall. Nall stormed on to the scene this season in a ma-jor way, leading the team in scoring and in rebounding. Nall

ended the season being sec-ond in free throw percentage at 69% and had rare honor of being selected to the all con-ference team her freshman year.

The team named CO-MVP’s this season. Those players selected as the MVP were freshman Alexis Nall and senior Jacey Ritzert. Ritzert fi nished her career in third place on the all time scoring list at Mount Vernon High School with 944 points.

She was the fi rst player in Wildcat history to be named to the All Big Eight Conference team all four years she played. She had the honor of being named the MVP both her junior and senior years and was selected to play in the North/South All Star game this year as well. Ritzert has been nominated for All State this year and was also nominated for the Men-tal Attitude and Courage Award by the Indiana High School Basketball Magazine.

Wildcat head coach Steve Mitchell honored the four se-niors that are graduating this season as well. These four se-niors had a four year varsity record of 57-26, helping to set up the all time winning record in Mount Vernon High School girls’ basketball history in four seasons. The seniors helped improve the program the past four years and they had the fi rst lady Cats team to ever be ranked in the top ten in the rankings this year. These seniors, Jade Dixon, Jacey Ritzert, Lauren Stemple, and Rachel Cash will be missed.

The Varsity award winners this year were: Rachel Cash, Jade Dixon, Jacey Ritzert, Lauren Stemple, Ellen Foster, Cheyene Strobel, Alexis Nall, and Haley Thorne (team man-ager). The Reserve Certifi cates went to Stefanie Bulla, Kay-sie Collins, Abby Randall, Kellen Ray, Erin Wolf, Savannah Bush, Mara Canada, Madison Cross, Ellen Denning, Madi-son Simpson, Alyssa Smolsky, and Hadlee Whoberry. Fresh-man Numerals went to Mara Canada, Madison Cross, and Alyssa Smolsky.

Researchers at the University Of Mary-land School Of Medicine could have saved themselves a lot of time and the brains of several rats if they had just asked married couples, “Do women talk more than men?” The men would have responded, “Yes”, and the women would have respond-ed, “It has been the bane of my existence to try to get my husband to pay attention to what I am saying.”

According to a study published in The Journal of Neuroscience on February 20, 2013, women have higher levels of the pro-tein FOXP2 in their brains which causes them to speak about 20,000 words per day versus about one third of that for men. As the study put it, “Women use more words than men not because they choose to do so, but because they cannot help themselves.” Although a fe-male perspective on the issue might be that, “women are genetically predisposed to be better communicators than men.”

When I was taking experimental psychol-ogy courses at Indiana University only the professors were allowed to work with the valuable lab rats. We students were required to experiment on one another. And even though some of our brains might have been disposable, we were not authorized to dis-sect them to check for such things as chemi-cal levels. Therefore, the design of a student experiment might have gone something like what follows:

Student Peg: “Jim, would you take out the trash before it develops into a hazardous waste site?”

Student Jim: “Huh?”Student Peg: “I suppose I’ll also have to

till the garden myself right after I do the laundry and feed the dog.”

Student Jim: “There’s a ballgame on.”Etc., etc., etc.The experimenter would observe several

of these exchanges, count the words by each “subject” and assign a communica-tion value to the responses, then do a statistical analysis and conclude women either talk more or communicate better than men. Only the large specimen on the couch

would be in danger.Another approach might be to compare

and contrast brothers and sisters. For ex-ample, after our sainted mother passed, my sister, Jane, assumed the role of instructing my two brothers, C.E. and Phil, and me in all phases of life. Janie sends out what we brothers call “packets” with directions on such things as family reunions, preservation of memorabilia, and the correction of our in-accurate memories of our lives together. We brothers usually respond, “okay, just tell us where to send the check.”

Janie gets as exasperated as Peg with my defi cient communication skills. But one area that really gets her dander up is pro-nouns. Janie had to fi ght the pronoun war for many years while she taught college psychology and struggled for equality in a male-dominated environment. She refused to quietly accept a distaff role and used her superior communication gene as a weapon. Unfortunately, her brothers are often in the line of fi re.

But Janie, and many other religious wom-en, take real umbrage at the notion that god is male. As Janie says, if She were male, no prayers would be listened to. However, with this new scientifi c study I now have proof god is not female because there are only Ten Commandments.

TRUTH...STRANGERTHANFICTIONBY DAVEPEARCE

Gavel Gamut’s ‘Are You Listening To Me?’

The President, other elected and appointed lead-ers need our prayers. But to be effective, our requests must be more specifi c then “Bless our Leaders” and etc. Prayer is talking to God, anywhere, and anytime. Intercession is praying for someone else. According to the bible, it pleases God when we in-tercede to include heads of

the nation, state and others in authority.

Ask God to help all gov-ernment leaders to solve and help our United State citizens live a safe and se-cure life. Stop infl ation; and promote suffi cient econom-ical paying employment to create a fl ourishing econo-my for all. Utilize creativity.

In the Bible, God’s Words are important, but life trans-

formations won’t happen unless united we person-ally apply their teachings. Strive to obey Scripture and the Lord’s guidelines. Contact Government Lead-ers. When you do, God will take responsibility for the results. Praise the Lord God. Remember God can do anything. He fulfi lls promises.

As I read about the New Harmony Town Board members and committees discuss-ing the proposed bike/golf cart trail around New Harmony, and how they seem to be at odds as to how to proceed, and now are back to “Who owns South Road?” (Father Rapp and the Indians argued that one.), it seems to me that with all the time, effort, money and talent that has gone toward a trail that we already have one of, maybe, just maybe, there is a cause that might be more pressing – Maple Hill Cemetery is full. People born and raised here are going elsewhere to be buried because, unless you

want to be buried standing up on the side of Maple Hill, there are no available lots, and the cemetery is hard pressed to main-tain the grounds for lack of income, so they depend on donations. Just a sugges-tion: create new lot, sell lots, and generate revenue. Seems basic, but no one cares to move in that direction. If the leaders don’t see the basic need for a community cem-etery, then do everyone a favor and place a sign on the gates of Maple Hill: Sorry- no vacancy.

Sorry - No Vacancy

LIVINGFOR THE

JOURNEYBY PAM

ROBINSON

Most of us can bring to mind a ma-ture couple’s demise—a so-called “gray divorce,” a term I learned from a June 2, 2010, “Christian Science Moni-tor” article entitled “Al and Tipper Gore: later-life divorces no longer uncom-mon.” That same article referred to an AARP study of gray divorces. AARP discovered a number of unhappy couples stay to-gether only for the sake of the children. Having invested little, if anything, in one another, partners end their marriage once the children do leave home. Of course, the partners’ mutual love and understanding died some considerable time before then.

If we’re honest, any of us couples with children can understand the unhappiness causing gray divorces. In meeting our children’s needs for proper food, cloth-ing, shelter and love, couples may forget to pay attention to one another as human beings, not as human doings. Dark stares during dinner may replace the soft look of love our eyes once held. Conversations may too often end in the silent treatment. “What happens to marriages? Years—years, that’s what happens to marriages,” a friend once complained.

Well before the children leave, partners decide if they’ll stay together like birds

of a feather and coo hap-pily at home. As always, a couple’s attitudes and ac-tivities determine whether their newly vacated love nest feels cozy or cramped. In talking with couples cel-ebrating silver and golden wedding anniversaries, I have watched how they interact as they tell their

stories. These conversations have left me with a few guidelines for a lasting mar-riage.

Above all, happy couples make time for each other, especially if kids fi ll the house. Money doesn’t need to be an object. Once the kids are tucked in bed, snuggle and share the events of the day with one an-other or pop some popcorn and watch a made-for-TV movie. On occasions when getting out of the house together becomes a reality, a simple, inexpensive date can create as much intimacy as an elaborate, expensive date. Couples can, for example, walk down by the riverfront and go for ice cream cones afterward.

Smart couples say they never go to bed angry. A few have chuckled and said working things out may take until dawn,

but the time is well spent. They can rest assured knowing no emotional wounds are festering to cause a gaping wound in the marriage later on. They may agree to disagree and put their frustration and fur-ther discussion on hold, or they may reach a compromise. Whatever they decide, they don’t let anger complicate their re-lationship further with regret over saying things or acting in ways they can’t take back. Partners know rebuilding trust takes a long time once rash words or actions pour out.

As anyone can see, loving couples com-municate well. Their added advice focus-es on good communication as well. Such reminders as, “Be slow to anger, quick to forgive” and “Listen fi rst; talk last,” will help in any relationship. Partners treat each other with respect and compassion

when they follow these principles.Last, but certainly not least, smiling

couples possess a great sense of humor. They’ve learned to tease each other good-naturedly about their personality traits, instead of criticizing.

“He’s never at a loss for words,” comes across better than “He never shuts up.” The most mature partners poke fun at themselves as often as anyone else pokes fun at them. They’ve learned to stop tak-ing themselves so seriously.

These guidelines mean a lot to me as my husband, Jim, and I prepare for the de-parture of our youngest child, Jessica, in a couple of years as she heads for college. Perhaps by then we’ll have laid all our issues to rest. When we switch the lights off in our empty nest, we can turn to each other, and say, “Ain’t we got fun!”

Two can crowd the nest if love dies once children take wing

Owning and running a small business to-day in America is a little bit like my dad’s famous walks to school. You walk in three feet of snow, uphill both ways, and with the wind to your face both two and from school.

For those of you who have chosen to try to keep a small business up and going, you know what I mean and will appreciate everything I have to say. For those of you who have chosen to work for a large corporation, hopefully, when I am fi nished, you will have a better appreciation for the people who provide you with a pay-check.

I will be the fi rst to admit that without competent help and people willing to work hard and make some sacrifi ces, running a small business would be virtually impos-sible. There are benefi ts and sacrifi ces for everyone involved. I know in the case of a newspaper, it is probably a little differ-ent than other businesses but from talking to others who are working hard to keep the doors open and people in a job, there are many similarities, as well.

In our case, as most of you know, I work two jobs. I have had many people ask me over the past few weeks “Do you every sleep?” I have also heard “You are every-where.” “Does your wife remember what you look like” as well as a variety of other things that I take as complimentary. I pride myself on making it to as many events as I possibly can. I love people, especially the ones here in my home county, and I want that to show through my willingness to work hard and sacrifi ce now and again.

In most small communities, there is only one newspaper and events that are missed

by the newspaper generally are not covered by anything else. That’s why keeping the community newspaper’s doors open is so important to me. Regardless of how much information you can fi nd on the Internet or other forms of news, chances are

you will never fi nd the things important to parents of children in our small schools or the opening of a new business in your small community, or the promotion of one of the people at the ambulance service. And in the case of the Posey County News, getting an obituary in the newspaper at no cost to you when almost every other newspaper on earth charges a signifi cant amount.

But just this week, I realized again just how much commitment and devotion is nec-essary to be a small business owner. I have realized that no matter how loyal or how profi cient or effi cient the employee, there is no one who can care about your business the way you do.

Over the past four months, I have watched one of my dearest relatives as she has gone through a terrible ordeal. I have watched, mostly from afar, the toll this ordeal has taken on her. She has watched as her hus-band of 19 years went through the diagnosis of brain cancer and the things that go along with it to his rapid downhill slide and even-tual death just last Sunday. I feel guilt that I did not do more. She needed me and I felt that I could have done a better job of being there for her. But spending the time off from the newspaper job would have jeopardized

the health of the newspaper and its ability to provide a living for the people who depend on me and the newspaper for their living.

In trying to justify this, I have had to rea-son with myself. If it weren’t for my com-mitment to my job(s), I would be unable to provide fi nancial support to many (and I do mean many) causes to which I am asked to contribute. I felt a little better after contrib-uting to a fundraiser to help the family meet the fi nancial needs caused by the illness. But nothing can replace time that was not spent and I know that. But I will just have to work through that one.

But during this time, I also learned that the cell phone does not take a break. Some people are aware of what you are going through and apparently just don’t care. Oth-ers have no idea what you are in the middle of and call thinking you are in business mode. You attempt to handle each call in the best way possible. Sometimes you are better at it than other times during this emotional roller-coaster called life.

Although I turned the sound down on my cell phone during the visitation on Wednes-day evening and during the funeral on Thursday, I did have it on vibrate mode. And being the inquisitive person I am, it made it almost impossible for me not to sneak a peek and see who might be calling me and try to guess why. When you have your own busi-ness, you simply never go home from work.

When your employees ask you questions, you are expected to have concrete answers. Sometimes that is impossible. Sometimes the timing of one thing depends on the suc-cess or the timing of another. Only time can tell which direction results will dictate your next move. That, too, is tough for the em-

ployee to understand. Especially those who come in, do their daily tasks, and then go home to have “a real life” at the end of the day. One good piece of advice for me has been, “When you come to the fork in the road, take it?”

Again, small business owners appreciate the people who show up every day and do their job and often go above and beyond what they are asked to do. But looking at it from the other side of the fence (as a busi-ness owner), guess who never gets to call in sick? Guess who never gets to take a sick day? Guess who has to schedule their vaca-tion (if you are fortunate enough to get one) around everyone else’s wishes? And if mon-ey is running tight, guess whose paycheck (should you decide you can pay yourself on a particular week) does not get cashed this week?

Throughout my professional life, failure has not been an option. Did I make some mistakes? Yes, as many or more than most. Do I have regrets? Sure I do. But the im-portant thing is that I have hopefully learned from each of them and perhaps it has helped me be a better person.

So the next time you take that small busi-ness owner in your community for granted, just remember that business is what keeps small towns in existence. If you can support them, please fi nd a way to do it. It may cost you a few cents more but remember that the money you spend is likely going back into your community in the form of yearbook sponsorships, Relay for Life sponsorships, Little League team sponsorships, and other sponsorships too numerous to mention. And just be glad there are still a few people with enough guts to try to keep in going for you.

Owning your own business has its own perks, challenges

Hunters took advantage of new equipment regula-tions and extra hunting dates to harvest a record 136,248 deer during the 2012 season, according to data the DNR gathered from designated check stations and from a recently implemented online and phone reporting system.

The total harvest represent-ed a 6 percent increase over the 2011 season’s harvest and topped the previous record of 134,004 deer set in 2010.

“We started down the path to strategically reduce the deer herd in order to balance the ecological, recreational, and economic needs of all Indiana citizens,” said Mitch Marcus, wildlife chief for the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. “To meet that strategy, we initiated several regulation changes to make it easier to take antlerless deer. It appears the regulations may be working.”

Key regulation changes implemented in 2012 includ-ed making crossbows legal equipment for all licensed hunters during archery sea-son; adding a special late ant-

lerless season in designated counties from Dec. 26 to Jan. 6; extending the urban zone season to run continuously from Sept. 15 to the end of January; and allowing youth hunters in the two-day youth season to take whatever the bonus antlerless quota was in the county where they hunted. Archery season also increased by seven days with elimination of the traditional one-week break between ear-ly and late segments.

Crossbow hunters took 8,452 deer, or 6 percent of the overall total. That was an increase from 1,091 deer, or 1 percent, reported in 2011 when crossbows could be used in early archery season only by persons with a disabil-ities permit or by any licensed hunter in late archery season.

Hunters using archery equipment tagged more deer in 2012 (27,580) than they did in 2011 (26,715) or 2010 (27,186).

Youth hunters bagged 3,587 deer, up 55 percent from 2011, and the new spe-cial late antlerless season ac-counted for 10,091 deer.

It also was the fi rst year of a license bundle, which allowed the buyer to hunt in all seg-ments of deer season—except in urban zones—for a total of one antlered and two antler-less deer. More than 56,600 li-cense bundles were purchased in 2012, second only to the resident fi rearm license.

“In previous years, fi ve or six at the most, resident li-cense holders accounted for 42 percent of the harvest,” said Chad Stewart, DNR deer management biologist. “This year, resident license holders accounted for 47 percent of the total harvest. That’s only a couple percentage points, but to move it even that much is pretty signifi cant. That’s probably attributed to the bundle license. We don’t know that for sure, but that’s where we’re leaning because it’s the one thing in the rules that only affected resident hunters.”

The total harvest was made up of 45,936 antlered deer and 90,312 antlerless deer. The proportion of reported antlered deer in the harvest (34 percent) is the lowest in

Indiana’s history while the antlerless total was the high-est.

“Despite the record har-vest, trends within the harvest data showed that deer num-bers were down this year,” Marcus said. “The number of antlered deer in the harvest was at its lowest point since 2000, an indicator of a re-duced deer herd.”

Stewart said the antlered deer harvest tracks the total population about as well as anything because there are fewer variables to consider.

“Year-to-year hunter ef-forts don’t change much, so people aren’t all of a sudden taking three bucks or eight bucks; they’re locked into one buck,” he said, noting the one-buck limit in Indi-ana. “If there are fewer bucks to kill with the same amount of hunter effort, not as many bucks get killed, which tells us the overall population is down.”

Additionally, an outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic dis-ease affected deer in nearly 60 counties. EHD is a viral disease transmitted by biting

fl ies that is often fatal to deer, though some deer will sur-vive the illness.

“Whether this (population) decline is due to this year’s outbreak of EHD, recent ef-forts to strategically reduce the deer herd, or a combina-tion of both factors remains to be seen, but probably var-ies from county to county,” Marcus said. “As we continue on the path to strategically reduce the deer herd, we will monitor the herd and harvest each year and make adjust-ments to ensure that hunters will have the opportunity to be successful.”

Switzerland County had the highest reported harvest at 3,506 deer, leading the state for the fi rst time since 2004 and ending a seven-year run by Steuben as the top county. Steuben dropped to fi fth with a reported harvest of 3,076 deer, the fewest for that coun-ty since 2003.

Of the total harvest, 82,151 deer were recorded at check stations, 53,389 online, and 708 by phone.
