February 5, 2013 - The Posey County News

By Pam RobinsonAfter their teams played to a crowd of over

100 basketball fans at Griffi n Gymnasium on Monday, Jan. 28, the Posey County Special Olympics is moving tonight’s game between the teams of Mount Vernon and North Posey to Mount Vernon Junior High School at 6 p.m. (The game had previously been scheduled at West Elementary in Mount Vernon.) Admission is free.

North Posey Special Olympics liaison, Liz Mumford, said the teams, composed of players age 8 and up, are excited about tonight’s third game of the season. Before the game at Griffi n, the Mount Vernon and North Posey teams had combined to kick off their season at Evansville’s Mulberry Center with a game against Vanderburgh County’s Special Olympics basketball team.

Once again, the Mount Vernon and North Posey Special Olympics teams will combine next Tuesday, Feb. 12, when they storm the court at North Posey High School in their last game of the season against Warrick County Special Olympians.

The basketball season has provided athletic opportunities not only for the players on the Mount Vernon and North Posey teams, Mumford said, but also for those Special Olympians in training on the sidelines in a specially designated skills area. Athletes in training are scored on their shooting and dribbling skills on the court prior to the game as well.

Right before basketball season ends, supporters of Posey County Special Olympics will participate in the fi rst major fundraiser for the organization. A statewide event, “Polar Plunge” invites individuals and organizations

to consider “freezin’ for a reason” this coming Saturday, Feb. 9, at Boonville’s Scales Lakes. Each individual or organization must raise a “bear” minimum of $75 ($50 minimum for a student with student I.D.) to enjoy the privilege of plunging into Scales Lakes for an invigorating winter swim around 12 noon. Afterward, a party will be held for participants with an auction and door prizes. Festivities conclude around 2:30 p.m.

Mumford emphasizes that all participants must register prior to Polar Plunge. No registrations will be accepted the day of the event.

Three Posey County teams have formed already to participate in Polar Plunge: the Mount Vernon High School Key Club, the North Posey High School Student Council and Team Hypothermia, composed of fi re and emergency medical service personnel employed in Posey County. All teams are collecting cash sponsorships now for the event.

Concerning Team Hypothermia, Vicki Daws, advanced emergency medical technician with the Posey County EMS, said its 13 men and women members have decided on an 80’s workout theme, and the guys plan to dress their part, complete with wigs and headbands. Daws added that Pearison’s had designed special t-shirts for the team.

Those interested in the Polar Plunge should act before it’s too late and call Lynn Clark, local Polar Plunge coordinator, at 812-306-5338, or join either of the high school teams.

Donations are welcome any time for Posey County Special Olympics. Checks may be mailed to County Coordinator Jackie Maier, Mount Vernon High School, 700 Harriet Street, Mount Vernon, Ind. 47620, for deposit in the

Fifth Third account set up for the organization. The checks should be made payable to Special Olympics 511. The number is important. Without it, the check will be deposited in the General Fund of Special Olympics Indiana. With it, the money is earmarked to be used specifi cally for Posey County Special Olympics.

Everyone donating to Posey County Special Olympics will receive a receipt. All donations are tax deductible and directly benefi t athletes.

All organization leaders, both adult and student, are working strictly as volunteers and receive no pay for their involvement with Special Olympics.

Posey County Special Olympics athletes and volunteers encourage the community to support them by coming out to tonight’s game at Mount Vernon Junior High School and next week’s fi nal game at North Posey High School. Fans will enjoy the great action while honoring their local basketball players.

Textiles exhibit opens at New Harmony GalleryA reception for Textiles,

an exhibition by Teresa Paschke, will be held at the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, February 9, during the New Harmony Winter Art and Antique Stroll. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Paschke’s work com-bines state-of-the-art digi-

tal technology with tradi-tional textile techniques. Most recently she has been printing photographs on canvas, utilizing a wide-format ink jet printer fol-lowed by hand printing and stitching. This combi-nation of methods evokes the contrast between the multiplicity of digital im-aging and the individuality of traditional hand tech-

niques.In addition, Paschke

seeks to illuminate the similarities between his-torical and contemporary forms of visual expres-sion in her juxtaposition of graffi ti and needlework, and explore how cultural ideals can be expressed through the use of orna-ment and pattern.

Paschke received her

Master of Fine Arts degree in textile design from the University of Kansas-Lawrence and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in studio arts from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. She is an assistant professor of integrated studio arts at Iowa State University and a member of the International Surface Design Association board.

For more information about Paschke, go to www.teresapaschke.com.

The New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art is located at 506 Main Street in New Harmony, Indiana. Regular hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 812/682-3156 or go to www.usi.edu/nhgallery. Teresa Paschke

Saltzman has confi rmed several break-ins occurred in unlocked vehicles Sunday night and into the wee hours on Monday morning, Jan. 27 and 28, 2013. He said the thefts happened in several northern Posey County towns during this period of time. He cited Poseyville, New Harmony and St. Wendel’s A.J. and Midway drives as targets for the crimes. Among the items stolen were GPS’s, computers and loose change.

Saltzman said evidence indicates at least two people were involved, but he has no vehicle descriptions. He added that he is taking reports and waiting for something “to pop” that can be used to further the investigation.

In another conversation, Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth reminded residents that these were “crimes of opportunity” where individuals took advantage of unlocked cars.

“As I tell everyone when I speak at civic organizations,” Oeth said, “Don’t make yourself a victim. Do everything you can to move the individual along, and chances are you won’t be a victim.”

Oeth said that in the past, arrests have been made on all such break-ins throughout the county. Nonetheless, he added, “It seems like it’s almost an annual event now. Everyone is on guard more when these events happen. Then, as time goes on a little bit with no incident, people let their guard down again.”

Chamber off cer welcomedA welcome reception is being

held in honor of Christy Gillenwater, the new President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana.

5K to benef t MV Relay for Life

Mount Vernon natives Rick and Sherri Allen have lived in one home or another in “Birdland” subdivision all their lives. Rick, a 1973 MVHS graduate, and Sherri, a 1975 MVHS graduate, started dating after high school. Married for 31 years now, they say their lives revolve around their children and grandchildren. The Allens make sure their community activities can involve their family.

Last year, they volunteered as campground hosts at Harmonie State Park from March through November. They traveled between their home in Birdland and their

RV at the campground while managing their full-time careers. Rick has served in process automation for GE and SABIC for the past 38 years, and Sherri has assisted customers of the Posey County Co-op for 34 years as the credit manager, now including Synenergy Partners. In addition, Rick runs a computer repair service on the side, and both he and Sherri help their brother-in-law with a successful worm farm. Accustomed to desk jobs, the couple loves the outdoors and happily cleaned shower houses at the campgrounds, watered fl owers at the cabins, worked pool concessions, and

more, for the opportunity to stay on the Harmonie State Park campgrounds.

If working as campground hosts weren’t enough already, the Allens joined the Friends of Harmonie State Park and are very active in that volunteer fundraising organization. Together, they have shelled pecans and worked the summer luau at the park, but Sherri still has stood out as the “goulash lady” at the Friends’ booth during Kunstfest and at the Harmonie State Park craft fair last fall.

The Allens are proud their grandchildren are learning an appreciation of the great

outdoors. Lindsay (6) and Sophie (3), daughters of their son, Jason, and his wife, Ashley (Weinzapfel) as well as Benjamin (3) and Brinley (1), children of their daughter Brooke and her husband, Brian Eaton—all enjoy the wide open spaces and fresh air just as much as their grandparents and parents.

The grandchildren also enjoy the Halloween block parties, complete with infl atables and hayrides on the utility wagon, which Rick and Sherri have hosted in Birdland several years now. One year, the party admission was canned goods for the Mount Vernon Food Pantry;

another, donations were accepted to raise money for Riley Children’s Hospital.

“The busier, the better

for us,” states Rick. “We wouldn’t have it any other way,” Sherri adds. “We don’t mind working.”

Mount Vernon General Baptist Church, or MVGBC, marked the

10th anniversary of ministry for Senior Pastor Matt Watson and his wife, Melissa, with an all-expenses-paid, seven-day tour of the Holy Land. The November, 2012, tour was a fi rst for Watson and his wife as well as for three MVGBC couples accompanying them, Paul and Judy Beste, John and Barbara Keitel, and Clint and Brenda Willis. Pastor Tim and Netta Wolf, another husband and wife ministerial team from North Carolina, made their second trip to Israel with the group. Having led Calvary Baptist church from 1967 to 1972, the Wolfs were familiar to everyone. Because of the Holy Land tour, all the couples share an even closer bond of friendship now than before the trip.

A thirty-something couple with young children, Watson and his wife had placed a trip to the Holy Land on their bucket list, something to aim for in retirement. Their congregation decided the young couple would be more effective in ministry if they walked on the ground hallowed by Jesus well before retirement. Watson expresses deep gratitude for his church’s generosity.

“Many people who will never have an opportunity to see the Holy Land—they sent me to the Holy Land. That’s very humbling,” Watson says. “Melissa and I are very grateful, and we feel a certain responsibility to teach well with the tools

that have been given to us.” Three weekends ago, Watson and Pastor

Tim Wolf, co-hosts on the Holy Land tour devoted an entire morning at MVGBC, from Sunday school through church services, to teaching about their trip. In our upcoming “Sermon of the Week,” Watson will share in-depth observations with the community. This “Your Life” article will give the “Cliff Notes” version of Watson’s presentation.

Once the fi ve couples landed November 11 at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport, they looked out over Joppa, the setting for the well-known Old Testament account of Jonah and the whale. After their overnight stay, they headed north the next day by car, and over the course of the next seven days, traveled in a big circle until they ended back at Tel Aviv. They stayed three nights in two additional locations, the Sea of Galilee and Jerusalem, stopping at historical sites along the way. Pointing out that the country of Israel is about the size of the state of Rhode Island, Watson said their drives in a specially-rented 10-passenger van lasted no longer than two hours.

Boaz Shalgi, the group’s “tour guide extraordinaire,” with Experience Destination Israel generously shared a wealth of knowledge about his native country during the “In His Steps Bible Study Tour.” In a rare move for a tour guide, Shalgi along with his wife, Maggie,

even opened their kibbutz, or gated community, to the American visitors. Watson said everyone was deeply moved with the generosity of the couple in hosting one evening meal in their own home. (Likewise, the group met briefl y one day in the home of Mount Vernon native Gary Bayer and his wife, Cindy, in Old Jerusalem.)

A former member of the Israeli Defense Force, Shalgi looked out for his visitors’ safety as well. Watson said their group never feared for their lives in spite of the clashes between Israel and the Palestinians in November, 2012.

“We never felt scared,” Watson comments. “They had bomb shelters, and our tour guide knew where to go and where not to go. People back home were scared because they were watching the news. I don’t know how many people told us they prayed for us. The Lord really watched out for us.”

In speaking to the three MVGBC couples who traveled with the Watsons and the Wolfs, they all express how the tour deepened their spirituality. Pastor Matt baptized John Keitel, originally baptized July 3, 2005, in the Jordan River. Keitel’s wife, Barbara, said watching her husband’s rebaptism was one of the most meaningful moments of the tour for her, too.

Judy Beste said she has spent hours refl ecting upon the tour since she returned

home. She has visualized, for example, the Via Dolorosa, or Way of Grief, the street where Jesus walked with his cross to Calvary. Now, she can imagine Jesus’ steps without shouts of vendors hawking their wares all along the way,

Both Judy Beste and her husband, Paul, along with Clint and Brenda Willis, agree with their pastor that their stay at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem proved the high point of their trip. In that empty cave, Pastor Matt and Paul Beste served Communion to the group in remembrance of Christ’s suffering and sacrifi cial death allowing for Resurrection.

“The Garden Tomb is one of the sites that they think Jesus could have been buried,” Watson explains. “And, of course, there are no bones, no shawl, no body. He’s not here. He’s risen. That is the point of the trip for a Christian. He has risen. He has conquered the grave. Therefore, Satan is vanquished. Jesus is King.”

Although everyone agrees the tour provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, all said visitors need at least a couple of trips to Israel to experience the sites and culture. Watson hopes in time to host additional tours for more members of his congregation and for members of the community at large.

“Going back would be an absolute joy,” he said. After all, for the Christian, walking in Jesus’ steps is a life-long quest.

Special to the News By Lisa Gish, RN, MHAAs a resident of southwestern Indiana, I’m concerned about

the health of our shared region.It is easy to get bogged down in negative talk about personal

health and health care. We hear endlessly about costs, diseases, obesity and access to good care.

There is some good news to share, and there are things we can improve.

First, I’m going to share lo-cal and national perspectives, and then show how some local partnerships are improving care in southwestern Indiana.

According to Indiana Indica-tors, a report published by the State of Indiana, Posey County ranks slightly higher in diabetes prevalence with an indicator of 10.7 against a state ranking of 10.3 (based on county health data)

The obesity rate in Posey County is also slightly higher than the state of Indiana for adults over age 18 who are considered obese, with a number of 31.1 against the state number of 30.9. Those numbers are almost too close to call.

The state collects data on various health indicators. To see the Posey County data, visit www.indianaindicators.org

According to a Center for Disease Control study released in June 2012, there are positive and negative trends in American’s health.

Research reported, “More people are exercising, and fewer are smoking. But more Americans are obese and have type 2 diabe-tes.”

The article quoted Dr. Pascal James Imperato of the State Uni-versity of New York Downstate Medical Center.

“Aerobic exercise has been widely embraced by many young-er people, which is an excellent development as it addresses not only the health need to be active, build muscle tone and bone density, and promote cardiac fi tness, but also the prevention of obesity.”

Dr. Imperatro believes the decline in smoking among adults is a result of considerable public health education plus a reduction in the social acceptance of smoking. Indiana has been proactive with smoke-free building laws.

As a registered nurse and the Director of Clinic Operations with Tri State Community Clinics, I’ve seen how patients can positively impact their health. We’ve witnessed individuals – who had not seen a doctor in years – discover on a fi rst clinic visit risks for diabetes. What is even more exciting is that these patients often change their behaviors and reduce risk factors.

You also can reduce the risk factors over which you have con-trol.

We know that smoking, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle con-tribute to certain health conditions.

Smoking: The CDC estimates “that the economic costs of smoking are $3,391 per smoker per year in direct medical costs and lost productivity."

What about the personal costs to your health? The State of Indiana offers a free counseling service at 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

Losing Weight: For starters, losing weight provides the ob-vious reasons of feeling good and enjoying increased energy. Maintaining a healthy weight can help you avoid heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing prob-lems, and certain cancers.

A 2012 study by Reuters confi rmed that the cost of obesity for the American worker has exceeded the cost of smoking.

Reuters said in the study, “The startling economic costs of obesity, often borne by the non-obese, could become the epi-

demic's second-hand smoke. Only when scientists discovered that nonsmokers were developing lung cancer and other diseases from breathing smoke-fi lled air did policymakers get serious about fi ghting the habit, in particular by establishing nonsmok-ing zones.”

What can you do to maintain optimal weight? Since 2010, the Indiana Health Initiative implemented a comprehensive program with goals toward reducing obesity. The State of Indiana web site at http://www.in.gov/isdh/20195.htm offers free information about weight loss. You can calculate your Body Mass Index and understand how it relates to your weight goals.

Body Mass Index, or BMI, estimates human body fat based on a person’s height and weight. Many medical providers use this tool in helping patients grasp weight issues.

Exercise: A third way to reduce controllable health risk factors is by increasing exercise.

During football season, we all love Sunday afternoon on the couch. We might even have some Queso sauce and chips. Like everything else, this is probably okay in moderation.

Moderation is the key word here. Can you get off the couch and include regular exercise in your routine? Thirty minutes of moderate exercise, three times a week, can signifi cantly improve your overall fi tness, weight, blood pressure, and even stress lev-els.

Because the health of our shared community is important, I am committed to the mission of Tri State Community Clinics. The group, with Chad Perkins, MD, as Chief Medical Offi cer, posi-tively impacts healthcare in a partnership with local businesses since 2010.

Tri State Community clinics join with the following busi-nesses in providing on-site health care for employees: Evansville

ARC, A&A Metal Products, FLANDERS, Anchor Indus-tries, Buchta Trucking, Omni Plastics, and the MSD of North Posey County.

Employers know that having healthy employees is a positive for business.

Healthy employees miss less work, are less stressed, and are often more productive.

Insurance premiums for healthy employees cost less.

Our partner companies un-derstand how an on-site em-ployee clinic can help employ-ees determine the risk factors. Clinics offer easy access for employees, and in most cases, is included with their health in-surance premiums.

DIRECTIONS1. Melt the butter in a small pan and keep warm on its low-

est setting.

2. Set a steamer tray inside a large pot and pour enough water inside to steam the crab. Remember, you are only reheating the crab, so you will only need about an inch of water, tops. Bring this to a boil before laying the crab legs on the steamer. Cover the pot and steam for 5 minutes.

3. Remove the crab legs and use kitchen shears to cut the shells. You can either totally remove the meat from the shell or just get each one started for your guests. Serve with the melted butter.

February is Black History Month, and in the spirit of Dr. Charles Drew, a black surgeon and blood specialist who became the fi rst medical director of an American Red Cross blood bank in 1941, the Red Cross reminds all el-

igible donors how important it is that donors are as diverse as the patients who need their help. Drew’s pioneering work in blood collection and transfusion laid the founda-tion for modern blood banks.

Many patients are cross-matched by blood type and Rh factor prior to transfu-sion. For some, there are other genetic markers within donated blood that must also be matched for the best out-come. A diverse blood supply is a stable one, and all blood types are currently needed. For more information and to make an appointment to do-nate, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS.

1,000 Books ProgramBeginning February 1, the

Alexandrian Public Library will offer an early literacy initiative called 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten. This reading program is a multi-year project that seeks to encourage parents to read aloud at least 1,000 books to their children before they enter school.

The program is open to any preschooler from birth through the child’s entrance into kindergarten and is based upon evidence from research which has found that the more children ages 0-5 hear books read to them, the more prepared they will be to learn

to read once they enter school.The 1,000 Books Before

Kindergarten program provides a fun method to encourage families to read aloud to their preschoolers by offering a framework similar to the annual summer reading program. Parents can sign up their children at the library or bookmobile where they will receive a book bag, lists of recommended books, and a reading log on which they will record the titles of the fi rst 100 books that have been read to their child. When they complete the reading log, they may come to the library or bookmobile for a sticker and the reading log for the next 100 books and so on, until they have read 1,000 books.

Various incentives will be offered at the 200, 500, and 800 books levels. Children who reach the 1,000 books level will receive a certifi cate, a book, and will have their name added to a special display in the library honoring those who complete the program.

For more information about this program, call the Alexandrian Public Library Youth Services Desk at 838-3286.

The Willard Library Building Expansion Project is a 2.4 million dollar construction project to provide a contiguous 8,000 sq. ft. below-grade addition to Willard Library, the State of Indiana’s oldest public library building. There has already been 1.6 million dollars raised by the library, and the expansion will

be designed to enhance, rather than detract from, the historic building and park by creating the only formal public Victorian garden in Evansville.

The interior space will provide an expanded, more publicly accessible, Archives and provide for a Gallery in which art and historical exhibits can be displayed

and program events can take place for adults and children.

These signifi cant exterior and interior enhancements are the logical conclusion resulting from the Library’s continuing successful plan to make the facility a local and national destination that has increased usage year over year by an average of 8.6 percent.

There are different times in a driver’s life when he or she may have to pull over on the side of the road. Whether a fl at tire has derailed the trip, the driver or a passenger is experiencing motion sickness or you fi nd the car isn’t per-forming correctly and it war-rants a look under the hood, pulling over on the shoulder may be necessary.

It can be diffi cult to pull

over smoothly and safely on a busy highway, especially when you are in a stressful situation, such as a mechani-cal emergency. But it is in your best interest to remain calm and follow a few pro-cedures. First, slow down and put on your right-turn signal to indicate you will need to move into the right lane. Some people prefer to put their four-way-fl ashers

on after they have success-fully cleared the lanes and are ready to navigate onto the shoulder. Try to select a spot where you are not on a bend or where there is poor visibility or your vehicle can-not be seen by other drivers on the highway. You do not want to be injured while ex-iting or attempting to work on the pulled-over vehicle. Drivers should keep an emer-gency roadside assistance preparedness kit containing fl ares, emergency triangles or cones, a fl ashlight, batter-ies, a poncho, booster cables, duct tape, a utility knife, cord, a blanket, and fi rst aid supplies in the car as a pre-caution.Each item serves its own unique purpose.

There will be an indoor rummage sale held at the Posey County Community Center on the Posey County Fair-grounds, March 2 from 8 a.m. to noon. There is still ven-dor booth space available for $25 for two, eight foot tables (provided). For more information or to sign up as a vendor, contact the Posey County Community Center at: 682-3716 or by e-mail at: [email protected].

NORTH POSEY HIGH SCHOOLSTUDENT OF THE MONTH

MEGAN KAY BAEHLDate Of Birth:12/09/1994Grade:Senior – 12th GradeParent/Guardian(s):Judith and Michael BaehlHobbies / Community Involvement: President of Student Council, HOSA Treasurer, FCA Leader, National Honor Society, P.E.E.R.S., softball, volleyball, girls basketball video taper, Relay for Life Team Captain & committee member, St. Francis & St. Wendel Youth Ministry Leadership Team.

St. John’s Episcopal Church located on the corner of 6th and Mulberry Street in Mt. Vernon will celebrate its traditional Shrove Tuesday pancake and sausage supper on February 12 beginning at 6 p.m. The parish hall is located on the back of the church on the 6th Street entrance.

St. John’s would like to extend an invitation to all in the community to attend this event. Donations given for a meal will benefi t St. John’s Youth Group activities. Traditionally the men of the church prepare the meal with the youth helping as servers.

Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the ritual of shriving, when church members would confess their sins to the priest and receive forgiveness before

the beginning of the Lenten season. Historically, Shrove Tuesday also marked the beginning of the 40-day Lenten fasting period when the faithful were forbidden by the church to consume meat, butter, eggs and milk. However, if a family had a store of these foods they all would go bad by the time the fast ended on Easter Sunday.

What to do? Solution: Use up the milk, butter and eggs no later than Shrove Tuesday. And so, with the addition of a little fl our, the solution quickly presented itself in pancakes. Today, the Shrove Tuesday pancake tradition lives on throughout Western Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia. For more information about St. John’s pancake supper, please call 838-5445.

in Indiana. This program will be held locally at the Vanderburgh County Fairgrounds Activities building on Tuesday, February 19 and 26 from 8 a.m. to noon each day. Pre-registration is required.

The program will feature a combination of Purdue University specialists and professionals in the fi elds of Agriculture lending, accounting and law. Some of the topics to be covered include farm fi nancial analysis, communication and confl ict management skills, as well as legal and tax consequences of business structures and agreements.

The registration fee for this program is $50 per person or $100 for up to four participants from the same farming entity. More information and a registration form can be downloaded from the Purdue Extension, Posey County website at: www.e x t e n s i o n . p u r d u e . e d u /posey by clicking on the link for the program under “Hot Topics”.

BUSINESS/AG FEBRUARY 5, 2013 • PAGE A10WWW.POSEYCOUNTYNEWS.COM • SERVING THE COUNTY SINCE 1882 • THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS

Governor Mike Pence joined executives from Vuteq USA, Inc., an interior parts supplier for Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, to announce the company's plans to expand its operations here, creating up to 93 new jobs by the end of 2013.

The company plans to invest $4.3 million to equip its existing plant located at 819 E. 350 S. in Princeton. The facility, which is located approximately one mile from Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, will have new equipment installed by the end of May and be operational by June.

"This investment could have gone to a number of facilities in neighboring states, but once again Indiana is coming out as the top choice due to our pro-growth environment and the unrivaled work ethic of Hoosiers," said Pence. "We're excited that Vuteq USA has chosen Indiana as a fi xture in its long-term business plans and look forward to watching them continue to expand in the future."

Vuteq USA, which currently has 450 employees at its Indiana facility, has already begun the process of hiring new production and management associates.

"We have found southern Indiana to be a great place to

continue growing. We have dedicated team members and are pleased to contribute to the surrounding community," said Mike Tracey, plant manager of Vuteq USA's Indiana plant. "We'd also like to thank Governor Pence, the state of Indiana and Gibson County offi cials for the opportunity to do so."

Vuteq USA, a division of Vuteq Corp., was established in Kentucky in 1985 and is currently comprised of three facilities in Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana. Beginning production in 2002, Vuteq USA's Indiana facility manufactures and assembles instrument panel subassemblies, overhead system subassemblies and glass window subassemblies used in auto manufacturing. Its customers include Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, Johnson Controls and Asahi Glass Company.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Vuteq USA, Inc. up to $850,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company's job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. Gibson County approved additional incentives at the request of the Gibson County Economic Development

Corporation."Within one month,

governmental offi cials in Gibson County have worked tirelessly on two industrial expansions which will increase the available employment opportunities at a time when our unemployment rate has ticked up a bit to 7.7 percent," said Gerald Bledsoe, president of the Gibson County Commission. "Through the efforts of our local group, the state of Indiana and local Vuteq offi cials, we are happy that Vuteq USA has accepted our incentive packages and decided to invest in Gibson County and add new team members to their labor force."

As the state with the second largest motor vehicle industry in the country, Indiana continues to be a place where automotive companies fi nd the talent and resources they need for success. Earlier this month, Pence joined executives from Greenville Technology, Inc., to announce the completion of the company's new Madison County facility. The Honda supplier invested $21.37 million to construct and equip an injection molding and assembly facility in Anderson's Flagship Certifi ed Technology Park, creating up to 325 new jobs by 2016.

On Tuesday, the Senate approved Senate Bill 319 to prevent an estimated $57 million property tax increase on Indiana farmers.

SB 319 would delay, for an additional year, the implementation of a new federal formula for assessing farmland property taxes. This means the formula used for the March 1, 2011, assessment date will be used again for the March 1, 2013, assessment date.

This legislation is all about helping the 62,000 farmers and their families in

our state. The new proposed "soil productivity factors" for farmland assessment could cause an 18 percent average increase in property tax payments for these residents, depending on which counties they call home.

I’m afraid that could be enough to put some of our hard-working farmers — who are already struggling because of last year’s drought — out of business. That is why I supported SB 319, which will now be heard in the House of Representatives.

Senate Bill 319 prevents Indiana farm tax increase

Indiana has made important gains in protecting Hoosier children from abuse and neglect since the Department of Child Services was created in 2005, but there is still work to do. Tragic news reports and comments from local offi cials and constituents have made it clear to all state leaders that certain changes are necessary to improve DCS.

This week the Indiana Senate unanimously

approved Senate Bill 105 to allow for more direct communication between local DCS offi ces and professionals who work with children. The bill would allow any law enforcement offi cial, judiciary employee, medical professional or school offi cial to report suspected cases of child abuse or neglect directly to local DCS caseworkers rather than to the statewide child abuse hotline based in Indianapolis.

This past Tuesday, I re-ceived a congratulatory email from Sheila Bend-er, the Port Townsend, Wash., founder, publisher and editor of Writing It Real, an online writer’s magazine. Bender noti-fi ed me that the indepen-dent judge, memoirist Shanti Bannwart, had awarded my personal es-say, “Salvation,” third place in the Writing It Real fall contest. The news made my day in the way only a third place award can. I have vowed to work even harder to move on up to fi rst place in the Writing It Real spring contest.

A third place award is, nonetheless, a third place award, so I posted my good news on Face-book. The response to my post has brought me even more joy than the news of the contest results. As

I write on Friday night, I have read a little over 30 congratulatory comments

from my friends on Face-book, and a little over 50 of my friends “Like” my post. Granted, the two groups overlap a bit. Still, I can estimate around 70 friends were pleased with my news. Better still, no haters have put in any negative, spirit-slaying remarks.

Writing for this com-munity has enabled me to make friends all around me. I’ve become ac-quainted with about 250 people during interviews for the Good Neighbor feature alone. Beyond

that, I’ve met dozens of amazing people in writ-ing human interest sto-ries. Posey County is fi lled with kind and cre-ative residents, and I’ve been blessed by every-one who’s talked with me face-to-face. (When people have no use for my writing, they end our conversation on the phone.)

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my friends. Only a few months before I started writing for the “Posey County News” in June, 2008, I had be-come resigned to fi nding no true happiness in the workplace. Off and on for a few years, I had tried college teaching until it completely zapped all my energy. That failing, I still needed to help earn a liv-ing. Then, as for much of my life, I worked to bring in an income, not to de-

velop a career. Trust me, I still value every dollar I earn. The difference lies

in seeing a purpose in my work.

When I consider how

my life is spent now, I know I’ve already won the grand prize.

In the summer of 1965 I had just received my hon-orable discharge from the Air Force and got a job in Indianapolis selling P.F. Collier Encyclopedias (does anyone else spell this word: ♫ enc | yc | lo | pe | d | ia ♫ ?). Regardless, I needed money to support my family and to pay for the new car I had bought. Since the car dealer only offered me $100 for my old car for which I had paid $350, I decided to keep it.

It was a boss 1956 green and white Ford Fairlane convertible with a white top. I really liked that car. Unfortunately, so did an-other book salesman named Sam ___. Sam begged me to sell him the car and prom-ised me $350 to be paid at $50 per week for seven weeks. Under the infl uence of monthly bills and greed, I succumbed.

I gave Sam the keys when he promised the fi rst $50 would follow as soon as he got paid. Payday never came, at least for me, and I never saw my beloved car again. It took twenty-four years for me to fi nd out what happened to it and Sam.

In 1989 I was present-ed with a plea bargain in which one Heinz ___, who was represented by court-appointed counsel, William Bender, would take a fi f-teen year sentence for home burglary with ten years ex-ecuted and fi ve thereafter on probation. The state was

represented by prosecuting attorney William Gooden. The homeowner was in

agreement with the sen-tence.

When a person facing a felony is to be sentenced the judge receives a pre-sentence report that sets out the defendant’s personal and legal history. Heinz’s report included reference to his having lived in In-dianapolis. As Heinz’s last name was as unusual as his fi rst, I had a vague memory of such a moniker from my past. The following is taken from the actual court pro-ceeding:

Court: “Mr. ___, where have you resided in the past and have you ever used any other name?

Defendant:This is my fi rst trip to Posey County. I just came here to commit this burglary. And, I have gone under the name of Sam ___ in the past.

Court: Did you ever do any work when you were in Indianapolis?

Defendant:Yes, sir.Court: Ever do any sales?Defendant: Have I ever

done any sales?Court: You know, direct

sales? Sales?

Defendant: Way, way back I worked for an ency-clopedia company.

Court: Did you go by Sam ___ then?

Defendant: Well, Sam has always been my nickname since high school.

Court: Okay, Mr. ___, I remember you.

Defendant:You remem-ber me?

Court: Yes, I do.Defendant: Could you en-

lighten, please?Court: I sold you a car in

1965. A ’56 Ford convert-ible. Green and white.

Defendant: In Indianapo-lis?

Court: Right.Defendant: And I never

got a title for it.Court: Because you

haven’t paid for it.”I was explaining in open

court that Sam ___ was sup-posed to pay me $350 when Sam broke in and asked: “How much did I pay you?” Mr. Bender interceded by advising: “It’s best not to ask those questions.”

Defendant: “ Y o u have a good memory, Judge.”

Then Sam explained he and his wife had driven my car to Oregon where it quit running. His wife then fi lled it with potting soil and made a gorgeous green and white planter on wheels.

So, Gentle Reader, I ask you to put yourself both in Sam’s predicament and mine. Perhaps we will fi n-ish the saga next week.

Rodney and Jean Cox, owners and operators of the Four Seasons Motel wish to express their sincere ap-preciation and gratitude to the community regarding the incident at the motel in the early morning hours of Monday, January 21.

Without the immediate and combined assistance of the following commu-nity members, neighbors, friends, family and even guests at the motel, the accident scene could have been much worse.

Thanks to the prompt response of the “First Re-sponders” Alan Middle-ton of the Mount Vernon Police Department, Dan Montgomery, the Posey County Sheriff’s Depart-

ment, and the Black Town-ship Fire Department, the Posey County Ambulance, who no doubt saved the drivers life. Their quick ac-tion removed the threat of fi re that could have devel-oped into a life threatening event.

Thanks to, Sam Banks and Dan Banks who brought their tractor with the front loader to help remove debris and glass from the accident site.

Thanks to Ries Farms and their employees, Jer-emy Bolt, Troy Dekem-per, Ray Neth, Roy “Tiny” Stiltner, Greg Oeth, WSI and all the folks who showed up with brooms and shovels to remove bricks and glass and who

used their hammers and nails to prop up the front business foyer.

Thanks to Schultheis In-surance and who was on the spot to held and guest Frank Brandon who made hot soup to help feed ev-eryone who was working on the accident site.

We know not all the names are listed, but we want everyone involved to know we recognize and ap-preciate your tremendous effort at helping us open for business as usual and unit-ing under duress as good neighbors and members of our valued community. We are deeply grateful.

Rodney and Jean CoxMount Vernon, Ind.

Being an educator, it is always an inspiring and uplifting experience to witness students succeed by putting their studies to action. High school stu-dents these days juggle school, work, extracur-ricular activities and a social life. This juggling act can be stressful. How-ever, some determined and bright civically devoted students choose to go the extra mile and be part of ‘We the People’. This or-ganization helps build and promote civic engagement and responsibility among students throughout the na-tion.

‘We the People’ is some-thing I have been part of for a number of years. Educating young students about democracy and the United States Constitution is very rewarding and im-perative to keeping our na-tion strong. The depth and breadth of their knowledge of the Constitution and po-litical process is amazing.

A few days ago, four ‘We the People’ student

participants came to the Statehouse and presented their view of democracy to a panel of three judges (myself and two others).

I taught ‘We the People’ for eight years and later served as a District Co-ordinator. District Coor-dinators work to provide unique opportunities to any and all students who want to take part and learn about democracy. They are lead-ers and mentors to these students that are seeking a deeper understanding of the U.S. Constitution.

Taking part in ‘We the People’ is much more than taking a class; it is a way of life. This program pro-vides students that have a passion for understanding the Constitution and de-mocracy the information, resources and history that they fi nd fascinating.

The ‘We the People’ pro-gram began back in 1987 and is a national program that has had an infl uence on over 28 million students and 90,000 educators. The Indiana Bar Foundation

and the Center for Civic Education provide funding and professional develop-ment opportunities for the members of the program. Students compete region-ally, but have the oppor-tunity to advance to state and national competitions. ‘We the People’ challenges young people by allowing them to compete against other students with similar interests and passions.

Perhaps most important-ly of all, ‘We the People’ promotes civic knowledge and understanding. The Indiana Legislative Youth Advisory Council – an-other excellent youth civic organization – alerted me to the fact that Indiana ranks 48th in the nation in youth voter turnout. Young people are the future of our country, and it is crucial that they take an active role in the direction of our state.

For information about how to become involved with ‘We The People’, please visit their website at http://www.inbf.org/we_the_people.

“We the People” educates young people

In regards to the articles and news reports on the TV concerning the new drug testing at Black Township Trustee Offi ce I feel sure that about 85% of taxpay-ers probably think it is a great thing and the trustee will save our money. I have been a taxpayer for the last 37 years and I know when presented with new ideas and changes that it can stir people up and take them by surprise. I would have thought this new idea could have been discussed openly with the agencies that have worked with the trustee of-fi ce as we are not God and should not judge our fellow man in need. In the past the right hand knew what the left hand was doing and ev-eryone working together to help families get to a zero balance. Sometimes the past due bills are caused because of a trip to the doc-tor, medicine, or needed parts for a vehicle or even laid off and unemployment hasn’t started. There is more than just one way to look at families’ problems. It is not always drugs. Problems and past due bills are not always because someone is lazy or not working. As it is, we know longer have that opportunity or the co-operation. I am here to tell you that you need to look further into this situation of what this is going to do to families that are already struggling to keep a roof over their head and electric on. I personally, for the last 20 years have worked with families that need guidance and help. I believe that all of us know that we cannot force anyone to quit smok-ing, drinking, drugs because we want them to. Do you know the statistics of peo-ple going through Stepping Stone or any other program to help them get clean, I be-lieve it is a pretty low per-cent. That is also throwing away our tax dollars. Unless it is on their time no one is

going to stop what they are doing. People have to reach their breaking point them-selves. So in the meantime, who is taking care of the children left in the family. You cannot automatically assume that everyone has a support system within their family and would receive support and be willing to take the children and the expanses that would be in-curred with extra mouths to feed. As, has been stated, by the trustee this is genera-tion poverty and drug use so their families could possibly be of harm to the children. A lot of us do have family support and this makes us very fortunate. So, in the long run you cannot assume that every family is a nor-mal family, they themselves may just be getting by and with extra people in the household all bills would be increased. Not that parents would not help their chil-dren some are not able. So just because this seems like the greatest thing to save tax dollars, is It??

The cost of a drug test being $60 will cause more of a problem to the other private organizations frying to help the families. QUES-TION? Would it not be nec-essary to test all adults in the household of the household wanting assistance as I have not heard this issue being addressed. Also, we have homes or apartments in Mount Vernon that are rent-als. Families that previously lived in these homes could have done drugs. Someone moves in that home and has never done or used drugs the after effects of the previ-ous tenants could affect that person. Think about it. The trustee is causing a hardship fi x the agencies as they are getting more of a case load. The agencies do not receive tax payers money, we oper-ate completely on donations which is getting drained.

It is sad that someone be turned away for assistance

that passes a drug test and used their $49 resources {utility check from HUD} for toilet paper, soap ,sham-poo, laundry detergent, de-odorant as these are neces-sary items that a lot of us take for granted and have on a daily basis. Is this be-ing wasteful?? Can you go for a week or two without your deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. I feel that some of this needs to be re-thought. Maybe we need to walk a mile in their shoes before we judge the less for-tunate as I feel some of them have more compassion in their little fi nger than some others. Now this gentlemen, with the help of private or-ganizations does not have to worry about his electric being disconnected. I do un-derstand that the $49 was a utility allotment and should have been placed with Vec-tren but he felt he would re-ceive assistance through his trustee not knowing that the purchased necessities would go against him. If this was a problem then is the other households that apply for assistance and could possi-bly be over income guide-lines of 100% of the poverty limit and may have wasted resources denied also. I see on a daily basis families that are living above their means. I would think that they need intervention also!!!

Also, where are all of the jobs for individuals that can pass a drug test now and where will the jobs come from for others as they get clean. So many people are without transportation and that places limits on them. Some people might say if they got a job they could then pay for a vehicle. Think about it , then there is car insurance, gas plates and upkeep on a small wage it is almost impossible. Maybe some of the taxpayers’ dol-lars could be used for public transportation.

The American Can-cer Society’s Coaches vs. Cancer Suits and Sneakers weekend (January 25-27) united the nation’s basket-ball coaches, players, fans, the media and corporations all across America in the fi ght against cancer. During the three day event more than 4,000 college and high school coaches turned awareness into action by swapping their dress shoes for sneakers to provide op-portunity for the public to join in the fi ght cancer.

On Monday, January 28, the American Cancer So-ciety Cancer Action Net-work’s “Suits and Sneak-ers” made its way to the Indiana Statehouse.

Legislators were asked to wear their suits and sneakers to the Monday session to show their sup-port for fi ghting cancer and improving the health and well-being of all Hoosiers, “We have many lawmakers who share our vision for a healthier Indiana. By wear-ing their suits and sneakers we wanted them to send a strong message to their colleagues and constituents that the time is right to in-troduce and pass legisla-tion that addresses the im-portant issue of improving health here in Indiana,” said Amanda Estridge, Program Manager, Indiana Gov-ernment Relations for the American Cancer Society

Cancer Action Network. "It was a huge success."

Today, one in three can-cer deaths are due to fac-tors relating to nutrition and physical activity, in-cluding overweight and obesity. For the majority of Americans who do not use tobacco, the greatest way to reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases is through weight control, dietary choices, and physi-cal activity.

“State and local commu-nity leaders and policymak-ers can play a critical role in improving the health of the people in our state. One area in particular where they can have dramatic impact is legislating strong

guidelines for physical edu-cation and high nutritional foods in our schools," said Estridge. “There is a strong correlation between child-hood obesity and future adult obesity, so targeted efforts towards our kids and our schools is an important fi rst-step.”

Nationally, childhood obesity rates have more than tripled in the past four decades and the combined percentage of adults who are overweight or obese is 63.5 percent. Indiana ranks 12th worst among all states with 34.8 percent of its adult population over-weight and 30.8 percent obese. Among Indiana’s high school aged teens,

15.4 percent are overweight and 14.7 percent are obese (Source: CDC-Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Systems, Youth Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Systems, 2011).

“How to address our na-tion’s obesity epidemic is a conversation that is tak-ing place in legislatures all across the country,” said Estridge. “The time is right for us in Indiana because we know that we can save many lives in the long run, reduce our health care costs, and make our state a bet-ter place to live by passing laws that improve the pub-lic’s health. We encourage the legislature to put a focus on this issue and to work

with us to craft legislation to improve the quality and quantity of physical educa-tion in Indiana schools.”

ACS CAN, the nonprofi t, nonpartisan advocacy affi li-ate of the American Cancer Society, supports evidence-based policy and legisla-tive solutions designed to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. ACS CAN works to encourage elected offi cials and candidates to make cancer a top national priority. ACS CAN gives ordinary people extraordi-nary power to fi ght cancer with the training and tools they need to make their voices heard. For more in-formation, visit www.acs-can.org.

By Steven KocherspergerIt might not have been the path to a sectional crown that

coach Larry Zoller wanted but in the end its the results that matter. Mount Vernon's girls swim team struggled to gain the momentum and cushion in the points they hoped for Saturday, but a lot of that had to do with the great performance of the Castle swim team. Castle set fi ve new school record in the sectional swim meet but it was Mount Vernon that found themselves 19 points ahead in the end giving the Wet Cats yet another sectional crown.

“Castle had a good meet,” coach Zoller said. “We couldn't get the momentum we wanted going but we had enough points at the end to win and that's what counts. We ended up qualifying in every event but one for the state meet and have set ourselves up pretty good for the state swim championships next week.”

One strategy that worked for the Wildcats was to stack their relay teams with their best swimmers. This helped gain very important points with wins by the relay teams on Saturday and gave other swimmers time to focus on their specifi c races.

The Sectional meet opened with an impressive showing in the 200 yard medley relay. The Wildcat team of Samantha Gowdy, Claudia Crawford, Kelsey Turner, and Clara Baggett won the race with a time of 1:45.31. This time set a pool and sectional record that the Cats set just last year with a time of 1:46.47. In the 400 Relay Samantha Gowdy, Kelsey Turner, Clara Baggett, and Drew Glover won in impressive style with a time of 3:33.86 giving them the points to be crowned sectional champs.

Sophomore Clara Baggett seemed to enjoy the sectional meet winning four races to help the Wet Cats as a team. Not only did she help the relay teams in the 200 and 400 relay races, but she also posted wins in the 50 freestyle race and the 100 free. And even though she seemed to have a big sectional performance, her focus after the meet was on the Seniors. “It's our awesome seniors who got us here,” Baggett said.

Those seniors, Kelsey Turner and Taylor Cullman also were thankful and refl ective after the sectional win.”It's amazing to be apart of it,” Turner said. “Swimming for Mount Vernon is such a big deal and we put so much time into it. Its been really rewarding to come here and do what we have done.” Turner put up great times in

the relay races Saturday and fi nished second in the 100 butterfl y as well.

Cullman helped the cats with her great performance in the 200 freestyle relay race that came up just short to the Castle team. It was not easy for her to hold back the emotions Saturday as she knows her high school swim career is on the back end with just the state meet left. “It's really sad because this is my last meet in this area,' Cullman said.”I've had a lot of fun swimming in the last six or seven years and its been a great ride.”

In diving Katie McDonald fi nished second after nailing some pretty great dives. Entering the fi nals McDonald

found herself in 5th place and when the fi nals were over she ended in second place. McDonald will now move on to dive in the Regional Diving competitions this week.

Mount Vernon fi nished the Sectionals with 508 points while Castle fi nished in second with 489. Memorial was third with 326, Mater Dei fourth with 194, and Reitz fi fth with 164. The rest of the fi eld was as follows: Central 126,Bosse 99, North 87, Gibson Southern 87, Boonville 79, Harrison 43, Day School 11.

The girls team now travels to Indianapolis this Saturday to compete in the State Championships. Good luck Wet Cats!

By Steven KocherspergerTen Posey County

wrestlers went into the Regional wrestling meet Saturday and four came out still alive in the state tournament. All ten represented their schools and the county well but when it was all said and done two North Posey wrestlers and two Mount Vernon wrestlers fi nd themselves moving on to the semi state meet this Saturday at the Ford Center

in Evansville.Among those wrestlers to

do well Saturday was North Posey’s Austin Little. Little came into the Regional with an impressive 33-2 record and opened the meet beating Memorial’s Josh Small to move on. In the semi fi nals Little found himself in a battle with Harrison freshman Terrance Kyles but ended up pinning Kyles in the second period to move on to the 285 pound class championship. Pike

Central’s Dalton Miller gave Little a great match but in the end Little found himself with enough points to win the Regional Championship in his weight class setting himself up nicely this week in the Semi State meet. Little was humbled by the win and dedicated the win to his grandfather. “It’s really special to win this,” Little said Saturday. “This is the farthest I have gone in

By Steven KocherspergerIf there is one team that seems to be dangerous come Home-

coming time its the Princeton Tigers. A few weeks ago the Tigers knocked off the North Posey Vikings at Homecoming and this past friday they traveled to Mount Vernon in hopes of doing the same to the Wildcats. It wasn’t easy but the Mount Vernon boys basketball team was able to hang on in overtime to defeat Princeton 61-54.

It seemed to take time for the Wildcats to get into a rythym and they looked to struggle early on. But it took playing great defense to help create the offense and help Mount Vernon hold on for the win.

“We didn’t have a great shooting night but those nights happen,” Wildcat coach Marc Hostetter said.”We played well in the defensive half court and that made all the difference in the game.”

The very fi rst period of play showcased the struggling of-fenses. Both Mount Vernon and Princeton struggled to take any kid of sizable lead and at the end of the opening period the Wildcats had the lead 8-6.

But it was Princeton that got their offense going fi rst. With 1:50 left until halftime the Tigers built a four point lead be-hind a 6-0 run. This lead would not last long as Mount Vernon cut the lead to two at the half and then came out of the locker room tying the game and taking the lead behind the three point shooting of Bryce Newman. Newman hit two straight three point baskets to put the Wildcats up by four midway through the third period of play. Princeton was not able to do much with the four point defecit and at the end of the third period trailed Mount Vernon 35-31.

The Tigers were not to be denied in the fourth period though and with just fi ve minutes to play Princeton tied the game at 35-35. Three minutes later the Tigers found themselves on top once again with a 43-39 lead. Princeton eventually built their fourth quarter lead to 46-41 and it didn’t look good at that point for the Wildcats.

But that’s when the Cats regrouped and began to lock their defense down. The Wildcats began going inside to their big men and that helped them get to the line and eventually tie the game at 48-48 behind two free throws from Senior Jevin Redman and send the game into overtime.

This was a point of emphasis for the Wildcats according to coach Hostetter. “We have emphasized going inside the last few games,” coach Hostetter said after the game.”When you start on the inside and work your way out it makes everything go smoother. It allows you to gain confi dence and draw fouls as well. We have to get a lot more touches in the paint.”

This point of emphasis continued into the overtime and when Princeton began to miss their shots with under a minute to play it forced them to send the Wildcats to the line. The Cats stepped to the line and his the last seven free throws to take the lead and win the game 61-54.

“We executed tonight and are happy with the win,”coach Hostetter said. “Princeton executed really well in the half court and once we were able to defend well it made the differ-ence. We have to continue to play well fundamentally espe-cially on times that we struggle offensively.”

The win helps the Wildcats build their overall record to 15-3 and 4-1 in the Big Eight Conference play. Earlier in the week the Cats lost big at home to the Central Bears. The Bears came into Mount Vernon and ran all over the Wildcat defense beating Mount Vernon 87-56 for their third loss of the season.

Leading the Wildcats in scoring Friday night was Senior Brian Koch who had 18 points in the Homecoming win.

Bryce Newman added 14 for the Wildcats and Collin Varner had 10 in the win.

Mount Vernon will travel to Mount Carmel this Thursday night to take on the Golden Aces in an important Big Eight Conference matchup. Varsity tip off this Thursday is set for 7:30pm.

Before the game Wildcat Bryce Newman was awarded the Player of the week honors by ESPN 106.7. Also before the game Mount Vernon named their Homecoming King and Queen. The winners were Seniors Anthony Doty and Lauren Stemple.

There will be an open gym for girls’ softball be-ginning February 12 at Mount Vernon Junior High School.

Boonville Swimmer Nominated for National HS Spirit of Sport AwardNoah James of Boonville

High School, has been nom-inated by the Indiana High School Athletic Association for the National High School Spirit of Sport Award, an honor sponsored annually by the Indianapolis-based National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).

The award seeks to recog-nize those individuals who exemplify the ideals of the positive spirit of sport that represent the core mission of education-based athletics. James’ ability to overcome both the challenges of As-perger Syndrome and a life-threatening lung disease was chosen from 19 nomina-tions from around the state. His story will be entered into regional competition with those nominees being considered for the national

award by the NFHS. The overall national winner will be recognized at the NFHS Summer Meetings in Den-ver, CO in June.

James is a junior at the Warrick County school in southwestern Indiana where he’s in his third year as a member of the Pioneers swimming and diving team.

James has dealt with As-perger Syndrome, an Autis-tic Spectrum Disorder as-sociated with diffi culties in social interaction, dealing with change, and sometimes odd, eccentric or repetitive behaviors. He is breaking his disability stereotypes however by interacting with teammates and participating in both team and individual swimming events, some-thing he began doing com-petitively at age six.

In December 2011, his next major challenge pre-sented itself. What his fam-ily assumed was a bad case of bronchitis and pneumonia turned out to be something far more serious. His lung function fell daily to danger-ous levels to where he need-ed to be put on oxygen, was put on homebound services for school and underwent a series of tests. Extensive evaluations over the next three months at three of the Midwest’s fi nest children’s hospitals resulted in a diag-nosis of bronchiolitis oblit-eran, a rare, life-threatening disorder that causes infl am-matory obstruction of the lung’s bronchioles. The ob-struction leads to extensive scarring that blocks the air-ways, which leads to a dry cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and fatigue. Due to the extent of the disease,

his only option became a double lung transplant.

He left his father, brother and sister behind in May 2012 and relocated with his mother to the Ronald Mc-Donald House of St. Louis, MO to await his transplant. Finding a match though could take up to two years he was told. As luck would have it though, he only waited a few short weeks as a match was found and his double lung transplant took place on June 14.

He still had to undergo extensive physical therapy, meet with a series of doc-tors and therapists, receive infusion treatments and continues to follow a strict regimen of preventative

and anti-rejection medica-tions. Knowing that As-perger’s Syndrome makes dealing with change dif-fi cult enough, his courage through it all is even more impressive.

Last October, just four months after his double lung transplant, Noah remark-ably returned to school, the swim team, his teammates and the water he cherishes.

Amy Ulrey, Boonville High School counselor, who nominated James for the Spirit of Sport Award, recalls a conversation she had with him following his return.

“After his fi rst week, I asked him how it felt to be back in the pool.”

“My lungs did not come from a swimmer,” James re-plied emphatically.

“To see him walk the halls of our high school, with his letterman’s jacket on, truly is inspiring,” Ulrey wrote. “To see him leave the pool deck, enter the water and take that fi rst stroke is noth-ing less than miraculous!”

The IHSAA is proud to join Boonville High School in recognizing the example set by Noah James and that he represents every-thing that is right about our youth and education-based athletics.

The following nomina-tions for the Spirit of Sport Award were received by the IHSAA.

gone in the tournament and its a pretty big deal. I dedicated this all to my grandpa so its even more special for me.”

The other Posey County wrestler to compete for a championship in their weight class was Mount Ver-non’s Michael Rynkiewich. Rynkiewich won the 160 pound class sectional crown last week and wrestled him-self to the championship match on Saturday. Rynkie-wich found himself facing off with North Posey’s Gary Martin in the semi fi nals in what turned out to be a great match. Rynkiewich ended up beating Martin 5-1 in the semis and moving on to the championship. In the cham-pionship match Rynkiewich couldn’t seem to get it going like he wanted and ended up losing the match 4-1 to Ma-ter Dei’s Mahlon Parkinson.

Rynkiewich’s second place showing makes him eligible to move on Saturday to wres-tle in the semi state meet.

Mount Vernon’s Julian Suar ended up with an im-pressive third place showing Saturday qualifying him to continue in the state tourna-ment as well. Suar opened his 120 pound class match by beating Central’s Hunter McCormick but was pinned in the next round by Mater Dei’s Alex Johnson. Suar re-bounded by beating his Heri-tage Hills opponent Nick Myers 6-2 to fi nish third in the weight class.

The other Posey County Wrestler that found them-selves moving on to the semi state meet was North Posey’s Gary Martin. Mar-tin started his matches by beating Bosse’s Michael Merriweather before losing to Mount Vernon’s Michael

Rynkiewich. Martin then lost a heart breaking matchup in overtime with Reitz’s Andy Wimpelberg 4-2, but was still able to place in fourth Saturday ensuring his place in the semi state matches.

Mount Vernon’s Dane Wilson, Noah Keller, and Payton Whoberry all had their season’s end Saturday in the regional meet. The same is true of North Posey wrestlers Seth Elderkin, Eric O’Risky, and Shane Martin.

All the Posey County wrestlers should be proud of their efforts as they rep-resented their families, schools, and county well Saturday.

The Semi State meet will be held this Saturday in the Ford Center in Evansville. Good luck to all four Posey County Wrestlers.

Colton Motz, Bryce Koester and Kurt Parker Seibert received honors at the Rose Hulman Football Banquet 1/20/2013. Seibert received a Varsity Letter for his contribu-tions on the PAT specialty team and as 2nd string defensive end during varsity play. He started as a defensive end for all JV games. Koester received a participation award for his contributions on the offensive line for JV games.

Motz was red-shirted before the season for a knee injury but will join the team for spring training as Rose prepares him for the quarterback position. Motz also received a participation award. The Fighting Engineers had a winning season of 5 and 5 and were 5 and 3 in the HCAC conference. Coach Sokol was especially proud that the freshman players had a record GPA this year. No doubt that these three NP alums contributed to that accomplishment.

Due to scheduling confl icts, the North Posey Jr. High Spaghetti din-ner has been cancelled. The dinner and Basketball Battle were sched-uled on the same night as Senior Night in the high school. We don’t like to compete within the school district whenever possible so everyone can support as many North Posey events as possible. The Basketball Battle sponsored by the National Jr. Honor Society is rescheduled to Wednes-day February 6 at 6 p.m.. The PTO felt it would be harder to reschedule the dinner due to so many different schedules for the volunteers and PTO members, so the decision was made to cancel it. We will possibly reschedule again for the Spring or next year. We will still have the pool table give away and there are still tickets available so get yours before time runs out. We thank everyone who was planning to attend the dinner or helped in other ways, your support of North Posey Jr. High is greatly appreciated. Anyone that pre-bought tickets can turn them in for a re-fund. Just contact the Jr. High offi ce or call 431-6930. You must present your tickets for a refund.

For the eleventh consecutive year, the University of Evansville Lady Aces and the Evansville Tri-State Affi liate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure are teaming up to help raise funds and aware-ness for the fi ght against breast cancer with the annual Hoops for the Cure®. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, February 16 at 5:00 pm following the men’s game at 2:00 pm at the Ford Cen-ter. All tickets will be discounted to the price of $5.00 and are now available at the Carson Center at the University of Evansville.

Silent and Chinese auctions will take place and also be available during the men’s game

Monies raised from the event provide funding for local breast health education, screening, treatment and support programs in addition to supporting Ko-men’s Award and Research Grant Program. The Lady Aces have raised over $55,000 these last ten years

My Aunt Tottie was ex-tremely disorganized and was she ever dramatic! My mother was a BOP (Born Organized Person) and she used to roll her eyes over the way Aunt Tottie lived. She was a lousy housekeeper, wore baggy clothes day in and day out and rarely put on make-up, BUT when she did get cleaned up, she was a KNOCK OUT. Mom said when they were young; Aunt Tottie would get all gussied up to go out danc-ing and she’d make an en-trance that would drop jaws. Mom said she looked just like Lauren Bacall.

My aunt loved to get a re-action from BOPs like my mom. I remember one time;

watching her in her messy kitchen, make orange juice from a can of frozen con-centrate while she talked with my mom. She couldn’t fi nd a clean spoon to stir the three cans of water into the orange lump of concentrate, so she just stuck her whole hand into the pitcher and stirred with it. My mother was horrifi ed.

I think one of the payoffs to being disorganized is the reactions we create. We do love drama and the bigger the mess the more fantastic a clean-up will look. When you keep your home “com-pany ready” you lose the drama of being able to say, “Tah Dah!” When you look

good all the time, you just look good all the time and you don’t get to hear the whistles and “Wow, you look fabulous!” We lose the exclamation marks when we get organized, so we need to get them somewhere else.

There are two places you can get them back. One is your creativity. Being dis-organized can seem like a curse, but there is a precious gift in it and that is your cre-ativity. In fact you probably already know that your cre-ativity has gotten you into many messes, because when you’re in creative mode you lose track of time. When you get organized you’ll give up the explanation marks for

the contrasts between “be-fore” and “after,” but you’ll get them back with rave re-views from what you’ll cre-ate when you have a more organized life.

The other way to get your exclamation marks is imme-diate; by watching movies. I think that’s why we love to go to the show, subscribe to Netfl ix, watch TV and buy DVDs. It’s probably why prisons show movies. The inmates get to vicariously partake in the drama on the big screen and get it out of their systems. Part of my success at being organized is because I include watch-ing at least two movies each week into my routine.

Your assignment (should you agree to take it) is to get your drama fi x from a good movie this week, not from real life mess-ups. Make it a weekly must as you have fun getting organized. Then, when your life is organized you’ll start getting a parade of exclamation marks be-cause the world needs what you have to create for it.

Every February 14th people around the world ex-change gifts, chocolates and romantic greetings for a day set aside for lovers. Many traditions are followed, all in the name of St. Valentine. Still, people may not under-stand why such customs are upheld. Much of the history of Valentine’s Day and St. Valentine himself is shroud-ed in mystery, and much of what’s widely accepted is inaccurate. To set the record straight, here are some facts about the holiday.

* Valentine’s Day is be-lieved to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fi fth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest. Other historians surmise it was a way to “Christianize” the pagan holiday of Luper-

calia, which was a fertility festival. Included in the tra-ditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts.

* The Catholic Church ac-knowledges at least three dif-ferent saints named Valentine or Valentinus.

* All of the stories sur-rounding St. Valentine -- whether they are disputed or not -- paint him as a sympa-thetic and heroic individual.

* Valentine’s Day greet-ings have been popular from the Middle Ages onward, though they have been usu-ally verbal in nature.

* The oldest known writ-ten valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his cap-

ture at the Battle of Agin-court.

* Valentine’s Day is cel-ebrated in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Aus-tralia.

* Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day are the most popular holidays to give fl owers.

* According to Hallmark, women purchase 85 percent of all valentines.

* According to the Greet-ing Card Association, an esti-mated one billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas.

* Candy was among the earliest Valentine’s Day gifts and remains a popular gift today.

Valentine’s Day facts and superstitions

* Some tales suggest that the type of bird a girl watches on Valentine’s Day predicts her future husband.

A bluebird indicates a happy man, while a sparrow indi-cates a poor man.

* In Medieval times, girls

consumed unusual foods on Valentine’s Day in the belief it would make them dream of their future husbands.
