By Lois Mittino Gray Aga Tenbarge announced at the May 2 Mount Vernon Common Coun-

cil meeting that she was there to “ask you to consider bringing back-yard chickens back to the city limits of Mount Vernon.” While she said she was prepared for the strange looks from the audience, she earnestly spoke about the ‘Green Movement’ across America and in her hometown and felt the community should consider this as environmentally respon-sible. She would like to see families trying to eat more natural and have a few chickens, no roosters, under a contained moveable chicken coop.

Tenbarge, the mother of three children, explained that she had to give up their six pet chickens when she moved inside city limits to Mulberry Street. “They have names and personalities and are our pets. They live in a brightly painted clean moveable coops and give us free eggs, eat our bugs naturally, and help clean up our table scraps. They are not dirty,” she explained. “I am aware of property value. I don’t want the Wild West in Mount Vernon, or want to live like Hoarders.”

Board members asked questions, but said it was a zoning ordinance and animal control ordinance issue. She was told to meet with Mindy Bourne in the zoning offi ce to see about getting a variance. When told it may cost as much as $100 plus to do this, she said she was not enthused about doing the paperwork, but could afford the fee.

Her concern was the child in 4-H or the poor parent who could not afford $100 for a variance. She encouraged board members to consider

a license fee like $15 to have three chickens in town as a way to control total numbers and get some revenue, too.

“Don’t lose sight of my big picture message,” she remarked. “You want to get young families here, families who want to live more natural and organic. You can have chickens in Evansville. Why not make this a green town and family-friendly?’ In conclusion, the Polish-born mother stated, “It shouldn’t be that hard to live in America and have a chicken in your back yard.”

In other board action: Financing options for the Police and Fire Station are being prepared by

Umbaugh and Associates. Attorney Beth McFaddin Higgins explained they hope to dovetail a fi nancing plan with letting the bid packages out, so bids don’t expire while they determine fi nancing. By next meeting, everything should be ready and a timeline developed. Councilman Bill Curtis said he is working with the Black Township Trustee on the fi nal transition of the property and it should be deeded to the city by next week.

Councilman Andy Hoehn asked how much will be in the fi nancial es-timate. Attorney Higgins said the project estimate is $921,000, minus $120,000 from the Black Township Trustee’s Offi ce, minus any contri-butions and $100,000 from EDIT funds. They will be looking at 10-year

By Lois Mittino Gray It’s spring and thoughts of fi nishing landscaping projects, mowing and

tree cutting were at the forefront of the May 2 Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety meeting. Funds to complete and put the fi nal polish on the riverfront project before the Dedication Ceremony on May 12 were appropriated. Board member Steve Fuelling requested $8,740 to do electric work, core drilling for the stage, fl ags and banners etc. He added this total excludes any vandalism that may occur or unexpected ex-penses. Board Member Bill Curtis agreed saying “let’s tie up loose ends on this great project”.

Money was spent on a new mower to replace a 13-year-old one that Street Superintendent Cecil Waters said would cost more to fi x than buy new. After opening four bids, the Board purchased the low bid from Arc-tic Cat for a 2013 Dixie Chopper 2350 Commercial Grade Mower at $5,248.95. Waters also presented three quotes on the annual tree removal and stated if the low bid, Wabash Valley Tree Service at $2,700 can meet the insurance requirements, he would like to accept their quote. Attorney Beth Higgins will review insurance and if they do not qualify, the second lowest bid R & R Quality Tree Service at $3,000 will be hired.

In other board action:--Fire Chief Wes Dixon was contacted by Vincennes Fire Chief Tim

Smith about entering into an Interstate Mutual Aid Agreement involving all regional counties in Illinois, Kentucky, and Indiana. All departments in Posey County are going to join it. The mayor needs to sign the agree-ment, but tabled any action until Attorney Higgins has a chance to review it. Mayor John Tucker noted that the city has done mutual aid agreements in the past, but “it’s unusual to cross state lines.”

--Sewer Superintendent Rodney Givens requested permission to use a city vehicle and credit card for two employees to attend certifi cation training to maintain their wastewater treatment licenses. Dennis Givens, the Pre Treatment Director, and Gene Carroll will attend four courses on May 11, May 18, June 1 and June 8 at Ivy Tech to get 10 CEU’s. The course cost is $145 and licenses are good for two years. Givens was also given permission to purchase software for offi ce use.

-- Anna Hyman representing At The Cross Mission requested permis-sion to hold a bucket donation fundraiser May 11 at the intersection of Fourth and Main streets from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 8 will be the alternate rain date and it was approved as long as workers wear proper safety vests

--Givens led a discussion on a letter received from St. Matthews Child Ministry on problems with sewer lines backing up. St. Matthews called Roto Rooter twice over the issue and incurred expenses and would like to be reimbursed. Givens reminded the board, the city is responsible for the main and the owner for the lateral. Since there is a question of who should pay the bill, it was tabled for future review and information gathering

By Lois Mittino Gray Two retired Mount Vernon elementary school teachers set off for New

Harmony last Wednesday to search for hidden treasure. Sometimes they found it, sometimes they found it was stolen or moved around a little. At all times, Teresa Branson and Sondra Torcewski agreed it was a whole lot of challenging high-tech fun.

The detective duo were hunting for several of the nine geocaches placed around New Harmony by persons participating in the interna-tional game of using GPS technology to locate a hidden stash of treasure with a catchy name and a log book to sign. There are dozens more placed around Posey County in Harmonie State Park, Poseyville, Mount Vernon, local cemeteries and all around the countryside. Geocaches are now hid-den in most every accessible area of the world and a person can log onto www.geocaching.com to locate the ones in an area they visit as a fun activity to do on vacation.

After logging in to the website, Terri and Sonie found the list of lo-cal geocaches and a description for each. The description tells the exact North and West coordinates of latitude and longitude for the site and you can walk to those numbers using a hand held GPS unit or a cell phone. Once you are in the area, the description will tell if it is a micro or nano-cache (very small) or a large one to fi nd. Sometimes a hint is encrypted there, a level of fi nding diffi culty and walking terrain is given, and a map. The game rules are that the caches must be hidden well and weather-proof, but not buried into the ground.

Both ladies hunted for ‘What’s Shaking?’ a cache hidden in the woods behind the New Harmony Inn. Upon fi nding the site numbers, they pulled out an ammunition box fi lled with brochures and info on earthquakes, since it was placed there to educate by a geological group. They signed

Someone once said that if you do something you love and are passionate about it, you will never work another day in your life. This is true for Paul Axton. Paul loves his life and would never consider what he does for a living as his ‘job’ but is having fun working as a conservation offi cer in Posey County because he is passionate about it.

Paul grew up in Posey County and graduated from North Posey High School in 1976. He attended Vincennes University and when he graduated in 1979 he found him-self hired as a conservation offi -cer in the county he loves, Posey County. He has remained an offi cer for the past 34 years and wouldn’t

trade it for the world.Paul has the distinct honor of

being the fi rst Eagle Scout from the Wadesville troop. His love for scouting has carried over into his personal life as he has stayed ac-tive in the scouts with his own son.

Paul has been married to his wife Lori for the past 25 years. The Axtons have two children. Jennifer is their oldest and she currently is studying Agriculture Communica-tions at Murray State University. Alex is their youngest and he cur-rently is a student at Mount Vernon High School and a member of the marching band there.

Paul has been working with the Mount Vernon, Robinson, and St. Phillips conservation clubs over

the years. His love for the outdoors has kept him busy not only as an offi cer but also as a mem-ber of the conservation club. The Mount Vernon conservation club hosts a fi shing day every year for kids up to age 16 and this year the even will happen on May 18.

It seems that no mat-ter where you go in our great county, people hold Paul Axton in a great light. He is respected and loved because he holds his two main loves close to his heart, his family and the outdoors. Paul is the type of neighbor all

of us would be blessed to have as a friend and acquaintance. Thank

you Paul for all you do and have done for this county.

Love for outdoors, family defi ne Paul Axton’s life

Russell L. Limp, age 80 of Mount Vernon, Ind., died Saturday, May 4, 2013, at the Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. He was born Octo-ber 2, 1932, in Owensboro, Ky., the son of Leslie and Margaret Limp. He mar-ried Nellie Mayville on

May 21, 1989.Russell worked at Whirlpool for 28 years and retired

from the Mount Vernon Lumber Yard. He attended Har-vestime Temple in Mount Vernon.

He is survived by his wife, Nellie; three sons, Lee (Sabrina) Limp of New Harmony, Thomas Limp of Reed, Ky., and David Limp of Washington, Ind.; two stepsons, Cecil (Carolyn) Ayers and Benny Cyril Ayers, both of Mount Vernon; and fi ve stepdaughters, Kathryn Pruitt and Linda Sue Hunsinger of Mount Vernon, Flora Mae Craig of Henderson, Ky., and Alma Mae Dunn and Connie J.

before any rebuttal letter will be sent out. Givens also drafted a letter to the residents of Country

Terrace. They have fi xed some of the issues in the subdivi-sion east of Mount Vernon, but some residents have fences, and storage buildings on top of the sewer lines. The letter informs that residents remove the obstructions, or the city will and they will not be put back up. Attorney Higgins will prepare the letter. He needs to do some smoke testing there and Donnie Rye, with the Street Department, knows how to do this procedure. Residents will be notifi ed with door tags when they do the test. Board member Curtis stated he should print out a couple hundred door tags and leave the dates blank for future use.

and 15-year options. It will probably be a lease, via a hold-ing company and the city would be paying lease payments. Higgins concluded by stating their report will show how to pay debt service on that.

A new Consolidated Subdivision Ordinance was pre-sented by Area Plan Commission Director Mindy Bourne. The current one being used was adopted in 1986. The new one, which is mostly just clean up work on minor and ma-jor plats and exemptions and consistency issues, must now be approved by the towns of Mount Vernon, Cynthiana, Poseyville and some county areas. The Area Plan accepted the ordinance in April.

Bourne clarifi ed that the Posey Plan Commission has fi nal say in all subdivision requests, per state statute.

Any sub-divided property falls under this ordinance. It also addresses approval of performance bonds, IDEM Rule 5, and reduced roadway costs. Attorney Higgins added the city has street quality standards and new streets must meet standards and deal with water drainage issues. Bourne agreed as builders need to be looking at drainage calculations and are currently working with the Soil and Water Conservation District on Rule 5. July 1, 2013, is the anticipated date to go into effect, but Attorney Higgins stated the ordinance takes effect 30 days after publication in newspapers.

Bourne also offered for fi rst reading an ordinance that cre-ates Use Unit 29, a use by right in some zoning district for mobile offi ce trailers. It describes a mobile offi cer trailer as a vehicle designed to serve whenever parked as a temporary offi ce for a construction project and not for dwelling, living or sleeping quarters.

Irene Johnson told the board that she lives at 609 W. Sec-ond Street and has for 25 years. Her husband had a hip re-placement and now needs to have it done again. They have a wheelchair lift and a wheelchair ramp. The area they live in is the old Upshaw gas station/house and there is now a parking issue. Mount Vernon businessman Bob Beste, she said, sold to Gerton Auto Sales and she claims Gerton is go-ing to put a fence there and not let her park where she has parked for 25 years. She added she can not park on West Second Street and on Pearl because of ADM truck traffi c and Arctic Cat. She indicated this is putting her at a disad-vantage. She would like to cut their front tree down, put rock in, and a fence around the water meter so she would have a place to park between the sidewalk and the curb and get her husband and his wheelchair in the house easily. There would need to be a curb cut and Attorney Higgins said there are guidelines for those. She suggested Johnson get with the Area Plan Commission Director Bourne about the lot lines and the zoning and the street department on cuts.

Council members turned in their lists of streets in their districts that need repair.

Councilman Hoehn asked about the west side annexation and Attorney Higgins stated there would be a presentation at the May 16 meeting. She received a draft last week of the fi scal plan of the targeted areas and they are busy getting numbers on the assessed valuation of those areas in question

Hoehn also said that he would like to put the tax base growth project on the front burner. He would like to see the city add water and sewer lines to anticipate growth and look for money to help the Lawrences and Schelhorns that are out there. He added developers in the area are gun shy in this economy, but there could potentially be a huge payback. He stated if the city would invest $120,000 today, it could result in 25 – 30 homes in the $300,000 price range, with one per-cent coming back to the city in taxes. The city could get their money back in three to fi ve years.

the log book and date of their visit and looked at the names people use and the dates of their discoveries in the past. The names are interesting like Teapot Lady, Biogoddess, Local Ladies, cdog, indy57 and team taylor.

The pair found the ‘Church Park Cache,’ but it was not quite where it was supposed to be. The encrypted hint was ‘Brace Your-self’ but the magnetic microcache was no longer attached to a metal brace propping up a shrub in the park. After talking to the gardeners nearby, they were told the workers removed the brace just last month but put the cache back inside the bush. “I won-dered what that was all about”, a worker, Wayne Crews, said with a smile. Sure enough, the duo went back, located it and signed the log.

One geocache called ‘You’re Where?’ was never found that afternoon by the hunters. They were at the right location, but it was removed from its known hiding place by Muggles (non-geocachers). Brenda Sawyer, who lives nearby, speculated that it was probably taken by children who do not know what the game is about. She once found the micro-container thrown in the street and had to put it back.

“This is really a fun activity to do on a nice sunny day,” Ter-ri Branson said. She uses this teaching tool as part of a science teaching methods class she instructs at the University of Southern Indiana now. School classes often love to geocache on fi eld trips and outings on a nice day.

Local resident Vera Johnson was as “thrilled as a kid” when she found her fi rst town geocache called ‘Roofl ess at Main’ and pulled it out of a tree crevice. She signed the log and looked at the toys inside the plastic container. In geocaching rules, players can take an item from the SWAG stash and then put another in the box in trade. Items can include coins, baseball cards, plastic animals, buttons, stickers, etc. The trade must always be clean and credible as this is a family fun oriented quest and alcohol and weapons are not permitted. Vera’s next fi nds were ‘Information Please’ at the Atheneum and ‘This Bird is Stuffed’ in Murphy Park.

Some of the items to put in the caches are called trackables. They have a number on them that can be typed in at the web-site and you can tell where it’s been as it is passed from cache to cache. As a fi nder, you then put it into another cache and log it on. A Bart Simpson fi gure that is trackable was recently pulled from the Roofl ess at Main site and it originated in Quebec, Canada. Some famous traveling items have been Cindy, the Cinder Block that was moved by many over 12 thousand miles and Mary Prop-pins, an airplane propeller that traveled almost 9,000 miles. Most trackables are much smaller items.

Geocaching began with the fi rst one hidden by David Ulmer on May 3, 2000, in a black bucket in Oregon. It was originally called the Great American GPS Stash Hunt, but later changed to geocache. All 50 states have geocaches with South Dakota be-ing the last to get one. An educational cache category called an Earthcache has been developed to instruct and inform. At these sites, fi nders take a picture and post it to show they found the site. The oil well display by the swimming pool at Harmonie Park is an Earthcache about geology and drilling.

To learn more about the many sites around you in Posey Coun-ty, go to the www.geocaching.com website and type in your zip code. It is free. There is also a free Geocaching.com introductory app for the I-phone you can download. Warning: this activity may be really habit forming.

Simply Traditional Lasagna

INGREDIENTS • 1 pound ground beef• 1 pound bulk Italian sausage• 1/2 cup warm water• 1 cup sliced black olives• 1 pinch basil• 2 teaspoons garlic powder• 1 tablespoon dried oregano• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper• 2 tablespoons minced garlic• 1 tablespoon dried onion fl akes• 2 (14 ounce) jars marinara sauce• 1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles• 8 ounces ricotta cheese• 1 pound mozzarella cheese, shredded

DIRECTIONS1. Brown the ground beef and Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease. Stir in the water and black olives, and season with basil, garlic powder, oreg-ano, sage, pepper, minced garlic, and onion fl akes. Simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the marinara sauce, and remove from the heat.

2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

3. Place a layer of the meat and sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with a layer of dry noodles. Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese over the noodles, and sprinkle with a little mozzarella cheese. Cover with another layer of sauce, and repeat layering ending with the meat and sauce on top. Reserve about 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese for later

4. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, but check after 30 minutes depending on how thick the lasagna is. Lasagna is cooked when you can easily stick a knife into it. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top, and return to the oven for about 10 minutes for a nice melted cheese topping.

With summer right around the corner, many people are now planning their summer activities and vacations. After all, summer is a time to create lifelong memories. When eli-gible donors give blood with the American Red Cross, they can also give others time to make their own memories — watching fi reworks, hav-ing a picnic, sleeping under the stars, taking a dip or root-ing for the home team.

Blood donations often

decline during the summer, when schools are out and va-cations are in. The Red Cross encourages donors to make an appointment to give now to help ensure a stable sup-ply in the weeks and months ahead, giving patients a chance to create a summer of stories.

Donors who present to give blood between May 23 and 31 in honor of Memorial Day could win one of fi ve $1,000 American Express gift cards to create their own summer of stories. In ad-dition, their donations will honor those who gave their life for our country and sup-port those in need of care. The Red Cross serves about 3,000 hospitals and transfu-sion centers across the coun-try, including many Veterans Affairs medical centers.

Learn more and make an

appointment to donate blood by visiting redcrossblood.org or calling. 1-800-RED CROSS.

By Pam YoungWhen I was young, some-

times my mother would ask me to do something for no good reason. Like, “Pam, please clean out the dog’s dish and feed her before we go.” I was a curious child and I probably wore out the word “why,” because when I’d use it she’d invariably say, “Just because I said so.” I hated that. I vowed when I grew up and had children, that I’d never say, “Just be-cause I said so.” Instead I would explain, lovingly to the questioning child what my reasons were. I’d take time to make sure my chil-dren understood. Ha. I prob-ably said, “Just because I said so,” a thousand times more than Mom ever did.

Mom passed away in 1999 and in recent years, I realize I don’t miss her now as much as I did, because I think I’ve turned into her. I hear her laugh when I laugh; I hear her grunt when I lean over to pick something up from the fl oor. I hear her sigh at a beautiful sunrise or coo holding an infant. When I least expect it she’s right there. And just like breaking my vow on the just because sentence, I’m doing the very things she used to do that bugged me when I was younger.

The other day I was trying to remember Laura Linney’s

name to my daughter, and Mom was right there as I tried to recall Laura’s name.

“You know that blonde actress.”

“Blond actress?”“Yeah, the one that’s re-

ally beautiful and she’s been in a lot of movies with. . . oh what’s his name, you know the guy with blue eyes.”

“Mom, there are lots of beautiful blond actresses who’ve been in lots of mov-ies with guys with blue eyes.”

“Her hair is long and she wears it up a lot.”

“Oh, now that helps!”“Let’s see, she was in that

movie, what was it called? It was about a president who has a major stroke and his aid tries to cover it up. She played the president’s girl-friend?”

“President’s girlfriend, uhh, I don’t know that mov-ie.”

“Oh, you do too. I know you saw it. And you love that actor that played the president, I can’t think of his name, he’s real cute, and in that movie he played two people, the president who had the stroke and the look alike. Oh the look alike was Dave. That’s the movie, Dave.”

“Oh, yeah, Kevin Kline played Dave, but what ac-tress, Sigourney Weaver was the co-star.”

“No, not Sigourney Weaver, she’s a brunette with short hair. This one played the president’s girl-friend. Oh what’s her name? I think it starts with an M. She was real young then and had a small part. You know she was in that series about Adams and she played Ad-am’s wife Abigail. Maybe her name starts with an A. Oh well, I’ll probably think of it in the middle of the night.”

Indeed, that’s what hap-pened as my brain relaxed during sleep (probably akin to defragging) and scanned its fi les, fi nally coming to the Ls (without having to scan the Ms) and behold Laura Linney came forward.

I know both my daughters roll their eyes when they see my name on their caller ID, and I wouldn’t doubt they’ve made similar vows as I have in my life. I just hope they love me as much as I love my mom. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers of the world.

For more from Pam Young go to www.makeit-funanditwillgetdone.com. You’ll fi nd many musings, videos of Pam in the kitchen preparing delicious meals, videos on how to get orga-nized, ways to lose weight and get your fi nances in order, all from a reformed slob’s point of view.

Lemonade is often asso-ciated with refreshment and hot summer days. When the mercury on the thermometer has reached record heights, few beverages are as re-freshing as a cold glass of lemonade.

This summer fi gures to have its share of hot after-noons. But while the higher temperatures might be typi-cal this time of year, your choice for refreshment can be anything but -- even if you

insist on sticking with lem-onade. The following recipe for ‘Apple Lemonade’ from Elsa Petersen-Schepelern’s ‘Cool Smoothies: Juices and Cocktails’ (Ryland, Peters & Small) offers a unique take on a summer favorite.

Apple LemonadeServes 42 to 3 cooking apples, un-

peeled, chopped into small pieces

Sugar, to tasteJuice of 1 lemon

Sparkling water (to serve)IcePut the apples into a

saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil and simmer until soft. Strain, pressing the pulp through the strainer with a spoon. Add sugar to taste, stir until dissolved, then let cool.

To serve, pack a pitcher with ice, half-fi ll the glass with the apple juice, add the lemon juice, and top with sparkling water.

I think I have become my mother

Sermon based on John 13:31-35.Dear friends in Christ, it's often diffi cult for Christians to get

past the idea that those who have given themselves to the Lord should be treated a little better than the average woman or man who doesn't possess a living faith. In other words, there ought to be some kind of return for what you've done for God, for what you've given in time, energy and money. That doesn't sound out-rageous, does it? In this ‘you get what you deserve’ world, you really ought to be rewarded. As harmless as that sounds, it is the fi rst step toward a theology of glory. The theology of glory is a big thing on the religious scene today. But it sounds better than it is. The theology of glory suggests that if you are really a Christian (and you ought to be able to dig up some kind of ‘proof’ that you are), then things are almost certain to go better for you in nearly every area of your life. You will go from one success to another, because God will pamper you, providing one goody after another, rewarding you for being a disciple. That's the way it will be, in our individual lives and for the church in this world. In other words, it pays to be a Christian. But what happens when things don't work out that way? When the pay-off doesn't come? What happens when health or wealth or success are always outside our reach? What happens when things go the other way, giving us pain and trouble and weakness? What a ter-rible turn our faith-life can take. How can you rectify misfortune and suffering with being a Christian?

The fi rst century Christians were often confronted with that same problem. Instead of living vital, sun-tanned lives brim-ming over with prosperity, they experienced persecution. Dead-ly and daily persecution. Not only did that mean hardship and suffering, but it really surprised them. They thought God should treat them better than that. And they're not the only ones. We still think that way too. After we've committed our new life to God and used our gift of faith, we think that what we've done ought to be worth something. But then life suddenly takes a turn for the worse, and we begin to wonder about this whole busi-ness. Obviously something's not right. Maybe we've attached ourselves to the wrong religion. Maybe none of it is true. It sure doesn't look like it, not the way things are going. Often when something goes wrong, we say, "This just isn't my day." The assumption seems to be that everything ought to go our way, and if it doesn't, we feel victimized. When life doesn't seem to be working out the way we want it to, when we are foiled and frustrated and don't get the recognition we think we deserve, or when illness or hardship comes, then we start saying things like "maybe we don't understand what the Bible means." Maybe we're not doing what we're supposed to be doing. Maybe our church hasn't taught us the right stuff, or maybe we don't be-lieve enough, or aren't sincere enough. Maybe we're not good enough. Maybe all that biblical stuff about Jesus Christ and His love isn't true. So we're tempted to dump the whole business. Isn't it supposed to pay to be religious, to be a Christian? Let's go to our gospel for this morning and take a look at it.

The setting is the upper room just before Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. Judas has just left to fi nalize plans for his betrayal of Christ. Our Lord turns to the disciples and says, "Now is the Son of Man glorifi ed and God is glorifi ed in him. If God is glorifi ed in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once." And from there he goes out to be arrested like a common criminal, to be publicly fl ogged and ridiculed, and fi nally to be subjected to utter humiliation, as they hang him stark naked on a cross. That’s some kind of glory. That's more than enough to blow our minds because to our way of thinking, what Jesus experienced is about as far from glory

as you can get. In fact, the whole thing begins to sound pretty scary. Scary, because according to the Bible, our way of being in the world is supposed to be like Christ's. We are also called to serve under the sign of the cross. But, to ask the good biblical and Lutheran question, What does that mean?

To answer, there’s a story about a young farm boy who came out of his house and heard a commotion by the chicken coop. He ran quickly and found a hen being savagely attacked by a large hawk. He stopped, picked up a stick, and ran to the hen's defense, but he was too late; as the hawk fl ew off, the hen col-lapsed. The boy looked sadly at the dying hen wondering why the hen hadn’t fl own to the safety of the chicken coop that was only a few feet away. Then he saw, from under the wings of the dead hen came four little chicks and on each one of them was a mark of blood, the blood of a loving mother who sacrifi ced her-self for their salvation. The sacrifi ce was one of suffering love for her children. God’s sacrifi ce was the same, because Jesus gave his life for his children—He died so that we could live.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, we see that we, too, are a marked people, marked by the blood of the Lamb of God who was crucifi ed for us and gave himself in suffering love that we might be saved. On our Spiritual birthday, we were marked in baptism as the pastor made the sign of the cross upon our fore-head. So we are sealed by the Spirit and marked with the Cross of Christ forever. What do you think the cross is a sign of? The cross is the sign of suffering love. That is the power we have. Christians who are Christ's body in this world have the power of suffering love—the glory of Christ's death and resurrection. There are easier routes to travel in our world. The easiest way is just to hang on, to hang on to what is ours, to hang on to privi-lege, to hang on to life, and to protect ourselves: from involve-ment, from caring, from suffering, from crosses. It's not hard to understand why so many are tempted to buy in to the theology of glory these days because it's the same old success story; if you are good, God will bless you with health and wealth, the whole ball of wax, everything your heart desires. But we are the baptized. We are marked by the glory of the cross. That is where we received our identity. That is where we were called to be God's children in this world.

Of course if God bowed to our whims and rewarded the reli-gious in terms of the depth of their faith, it would make it much easier to stand in judgment of one another. We could preach to the sick, like Job's friends, that if only they would repent of their sins, they would be made well. We could pounce on the poor with self-righteous indignation and inform them that success follows commitment to Jesus Christ; the better you are, the bet-ter God likes you, and the more you are given. This is a horrible heresy. Imagine reducing God's steadfast love to a merited fa-vor, a favor which the Lord trickles into our lives in proportion to our faithfulness or how well we are behaving ourselves. It’s like accusing a Mother of being selfi sh, or playing favorites, or only loving her children when they’re ‘good’ or when they ‘obey’ her. That wouldn’t be love at all. That would be a perver-sion of everything a Mother stands for.

Given the diffi cult and poverty stricken lives of the early Christians, it was soon clear to them that the world's theology of glory stood in stark contrast to the glory of the cross. As Paul discovered: "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Consider your call, not many of you were wise, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are (1 Corinthians 1:18, 26-28)."

Obviously the glory to which we are called is a strange kind of glory, rooted not in our goodness but in God's faithfulness, and characterized not by success but by servant-hood, not by golden health but by ready helpfulness. The desire for the things that mark privilege and success in this world and the quest for health are all dangerous temptations that threaten our ability to see the kind of life in Christ God really has in mind for us. Again, we ask the good question, what does this mean? And again, a short story illustrates the point:

This concept is illustrated very clearly in the story of Horville Sash. Horville had a very humble job in the offi ces of the largest corporation of the world. He worked as the go-fer in the low-est reaches of the building doing what he could to help other people do their jobs, but often he wondered and thought about the fl oor just above his. Then came a day when Horville saw a bug scurrying across the fl oor. As the mail room clerk, Horville had only bugs to command - to bully. He raised his foot to fl at-ten the helpless speck. "Spare me." The bug spoke. A speaking bug? Horville spared the bug. His reward: a wish. "I wish to be promoted to the second fl oor." Granted. Horville's boss told him that same day. Horville marched to the second fl oor like MacAr-thur and Patton rolled into one. Wait. Horville heard footsteps on the ceiling of fl oor number two. There was a third fl oor. A higher level meant higher wages, more power. He went back to the bug and asked to be promoted again. The next day, Horville rose to the third fl oor job of sales coordinator. But he wasn't satisfi ed, he now knew there were other fl oors, many others and the promotions were like kerosene to a fl ame. He went to the 10th fl oor, then to the 20th, the 50th, the 70th. Horville sat by the indoor pool on fl oor 96. The next day Horville discovered, and it was only by chance, a stairway leading up - to another fl oor? He scrambled up the stairs. He was on the roof. He was now the highest, the most powerful. Content. Horville headed for the stairway. Just as he turned to go back down to his offi ce he saw a boy near the edge of the building with his eyes closed. "What are you doing?" "Praying." "To whom?" The boy answered, pointing a fi nger skyward, "To God." Panic gripped Horville. Was there a fl oor above him? He couldn't see it. Just clouds. He couldn't hear the shuffl ing of feet. "Do you mean there's an au-thority above me?" "Yes." The bug was summoned, "Make me like God. Make me like the highest," he said. "Put me in the type of position that only God would hold if he were on earth." The very next day, Horville began work as a go-fer in the basement.

On this Mother’s Day we can also celebrate the glory of God: that he came to love us and serve us. His work was as a go-fer in the basement of this world. God came to identify with the lonely, the outcasts, the poor and the powerless. And it is our glory to live like him. But where, and how do we live like Him? Another story to illustrate: A father overheard his two sons play-ing church. One of them was explaining to the other what all the parts of the liturgy were about. "Do you know what it means at the end of the service when the pastor does this?" he asked, making the sign of the cross. The boy answered, "It means some of you go out this way, and some of you go out that way." In a way, the boy was right. The cross sends us and scatters us out into the world. Someone has said that the really important thing for any church is not how many it seats but how many it sends. And it sends us with a strange-looking power, the greatest power the world has ever known, the power of suffering love. So we are sent, you and I, sent to live out our Lord's kind and misunderstood grace and we are sent with the glory of being marked with the cross, a strange-looking glory sought by few, but the only true glory—God's glory, shining in our lives, be-cause we are forgiven of all our sins, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

When the body of Presi-dent Abraham Lincoln was moved from Washington, D.C. to Springfi eld, Illi-nois it was taken through Albany, New York. In the crowd at Albany were a mother and her young son.

Lifting the child up the mother cried, “Son, take a good look at that man. He died for you.” As a leader of a nation divided by strife that may have been true.

There was another man, Jesus, who did indeed die for us. But His death was different. His death was that we might have for-giveness for our sins. His death was for our salva-tion. He died that we might have eternal life through Him and live with Him in heaven. When He died, He

did not stay dead - but rose from the grave.

We need to take a good look at Jesus. We need to see that in Him we have someone Who loves us and cares for us; someone Who will hear and answer our prayers; someone Who

will give us peace when we are going through diffi cult times.

But more than that, we need to accept Him as our Savior and make Him the Lord of our Life.

By Dave PearceEven though most

Posey County residents don’t even know it, they should be able to sleep a little easier after this past weekend. Some 21 members of local fi re de-partments, emergency responders, and police departments took advan-tage of 24 hours of train-ing that was held in Mount Vernon.

As a result of seeing a need and fi nding a way to meet it, International Critical Incident Stress Foundation instructor Jerry Baker came to the southwestern corner of southern Indiana for the fi rst time ever to conduct a class.

“ICISF is a world-wide trainer of fi rst respond-ers to disasters,” Baker explained. “One of the things we do a lot of times is respond to incidents where public safety of-fi cers have been involved in a critical accident…critically injured in a fi re or wreck or perhaps in a shooting or even killed in the line of duty. And what we are doing is providing training to these offi cers down here to respond to those types of situations. We look at the physical and psychological needs to make sure that surviv-ing offi cers and family members are able to get through these types of sit-uations in a healthy way.”

Baker paid local law enforcement, fi re depart-

ments, and the prosecutor’s offi ce a tremendous com-pliment at the end of the three-day 24-hour course saying he has taught hun-dreds of these classes and never has he seen a more engaged and serious group than he had this weekend. The event was held at the Four Seasons Motel Con-ference Center in Mount Vernon.

“I was extremely im-pressed with this group,” Baker said. “I have been teaching this for several years and this is one of the most committed and dedi-cated groups of people I

have ever run into.”Baker is actually with

the Indiana University Police Department based in Indianapolis but this is something Baker has done for not only that organiza-tion but also for the State FOP Memorial team, a state-wide organization of police offi cers throughout the state who respond to critical accidents.

“Most of the problem here has been a lack of re-sources for having this type of training available in this part of the state,” Baker explained. “It’s excellent to have offi cers down here

from both the police and the fi re side who respond to these types of incidents.”

Baker went on to explain that usually classes like this are attended by 10 to 12 people but the class in Posey County was attended by 21 individuals who real-ized the need for this type of information and train-ing.

“The interest in this type of subject matter also speaks to what the sheriff has been able to do to garner interest and how he cares about the people of this commu-nity,” Baker said of Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth. “This will ensure a healthy workforce and he obviously cares about his

people who are exposed to these types of situations. This provides them with ways and means to be able to cope with those types of situations.”

Baker said the commu-nity benefi ts particularly if there is an event at a pub-lic entity such as a school or a manufacturing plant.

“If there’s an event where there is a lot of media and a lot of trauma associated with it, then he will have members of these departments to respond and provide the public safety things we think about such as law and order but also provide that other component that will help these people get back to normal and recov-

er psychologically,” Bak-er said. “There has been this need for such a long time and Sheriff Oeth put the training together and invited us down to do the instructing.”

Baker said the class was in the planning stages for over two months and the members of local agencies took their own time to at-tend the training.

“FEMA has a plan implemented at the state level and one of the com-ponents in that is to have a psychological response component in place,” Baker explained. “Now that these folks have had that training and are certi-fi ed, they are prepared to meet that need.”

Happy Retirement...

By Valerie WerkmeisterA new restaurant is breathing life into the

former Allison’s Healthcare Nursing Home at 187 S. Locust Street in Poseyville. As the saying goes, ‘As one door closes, another one opens,’ certainly rings true in this case. The facility closed its doors a few years ago and sat empty until it was purchased last fall by Poseyville residents, James and Chris Eaton.

After many gallons of new paint, new fl oors and a new grill were installed, the couple has opened the cafeteria portion of the nursing home structure into The Tail Gate Restaurant.

The menu features made-to-order burg-ers, chicken fi ngers, chicken sandwiches, fries, nachos, bosco stix, pop, coffee and various fl avors of shaved ice including Pina Colada, Blue Raspberry and Watermelon,

to name a few. The reasonable prices will not only ap-

peal to the younger crowd’s pocketbooks, but also to anyone looking for a fresh, qual-ity burger without leaving Poseyville. The details that set the restaurant apart from others is that it hopes to cater to the young adults and teens in the area by providing a bully-free, safe environment for them to hang out.

“Having raised three boys, with my youngest currently being 15, the biggest complaint I hear is that the kids are just bored here, “ Chris said. “There’s nothing for them to do.”

The lawn outside the restaurant has a vol-leyball net and cornhole boards, which have also been played inside during inclement weather. A large-screen TV and free Wi-Fi are also available for patrons to enjoy.

The story behind the restaurant’s name harkens back to a time in the Eaton’s life when they enjoyed sitting outside, on the back of their pickup truck, with the tailgate down. They would visit with family and friends while sitting on the tailgate, just en-joying each other’s company.

Pictures of vintage trucks and signs adorn the dining room walls adding to the automobile theme. There are ample tables and chairs for many patrons to enjoy their meal while dining in a smoke-free environ-ment.

The building has special memories for James who remembers visiting the nurs-ing home Tuesday evenings with his par-

ents, Sam and Lois Eaton, while his father preached sermons for the residents.

Opening a restaurant is a fi rst-time ven-ture for the Eatons, but they view it as a means to their other passion – antiques. They are self-described ‘auction addicts’ and have housed many of their purchases in other parts of the building. The rooms in the former nursing home side of the structure now serve as climate-controlled storage. The storage units have 24-hour ac-cess. Chris hopes to someday open her own antique store within the facility and allow the restaurant to expand its menu to include fresh bakery items.

“I really think something like that would go well in Poseyville,” Chris said.

The restaurant has only been open a week and has already received thumbs-up reviews from its customers, some of whom have already returned a second time. They will be open Tuesday – Friday from 3 - 9 p.m. and from noon - 9 p.m. on Saturdays. It will be closed on Sundays and Mondays. However, it will be available for private party rental on those days.

“People can rent the facility for their chil-dren’s birthday parties, going away parties or even small reunions. Folks are welcome to bring their grills and use the outside lawn area for their party,” they said.

On June 1, the restaurant will extend their hours of operation from noon - 9 p.m. The Tail Gate Restaurant is on Facebook under that name and they can also be reached by phone at 812-270-2035.

Mount Vernon FFA and North Posey FFA will now be able to better fund their organizations and support their communities, thanks to the support of local farmer, Suzanne Schroeder, and America’s Farmers Grow Communities.

Sponsored by the Mon-santo Fund, the philanthrop-ic arm of Monsanto Com-pany, Grow Communities provides farmers in eligible counties the chance to win a $2,500 donation for a lo-cal nonprofi t organization of their choice. To further support counties declared natural disaster areas by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) due to the drought this year, win-ning farmers in these coun-ties are able to direct double donations, a total of $5,000.

Posey County was de-clared a disaster area by the USDA, giving Schroeder the opportunity to choose

two organizations to receive $2,500 donations. Schroed-er selected the Mount Ver-non and North Posey FFA. The Mount Vernon FFA plans to divide this donation between the offset expenses for District X Leadership Career Development Con-vention, two bowling teams to benefi t the Big Brothers Big Sisters, a corn head re-placement snout, the Posey County livestock arena that was recently constructed, offset greenhouse expenses, and the Wilmer Reibold Scholarship Fund.

The North Posey FFA will be using a portion of this do-nation to help fund the pur-chase of FFA jackets for dis-advantaged members, which recently the fund for this has been depleted. They will also be using this donation to renovate the landscaping outside of the agriculture department.

“I am excited because this

gives me an opportunity to help the students broaden their horizons through the FFA activities,” said Schro-eder.

This year, the Monsanto Fund will invest nearly $6 million in rural America through Grow Communi-ties, which includes dou-ble donations for counties impacted by the historic drought.

In Indiana, $415,000 is being given across 83 coun-ties.

America’s Farmers Grow Communities is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund to partner with farmers in helping them positively im-pact their communities. This program is part of the Mon-santo Fund’s overall effort to strengthen rural America.

Letters to the Editor

This past week, the few remaining Doolittle Raiders did reunite.

In 1942 the 80 men bombed Tokyo in a death-defying mission, retaliation for Pearl Harbor.

A case of 80 goblets is brought to their an-nual reunions. When a Raider dies a cup is upended.

This year, there are four left. They'll toast the Raiders with aged cognac, and end re-unions.

It's the cup of brandy that no one wants to drink. On Tuesday, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, the surviving Doolittle Raiders will gather publicly for the last time. They once were among the most universally admired and revered men in the United States. There were 80 of the Raiders in April 1942, when they car-ried out one of the most courageous and heart-stirring military operations in this nation's his-tory. The mere mention of their unit's name, in those years, would bring tears to the eyes of grateful Americans.

Now only four survive.After Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor,

with the United States reeling and wounded, something dramatic was needed to turn the war effort around. Even though there were no friendly airfi elds close enough to Japan for the United States to launch a retaliation, a daring plan was devised. Sixteen B-25s were modi-fi ed so that they could take off from the deck of an aircraft carrier. This had never before been tried -- sending such big, heavy bomb-ers from a carrier. The 16 fi ve-man crews, un-der the command of Lt. Col. James Doolittle, who himself fl ew the lead plane off the USS Hornet, knew that they would not be able to return to the carrier. They would have to hit Japan and then hope to make it to China for a safe landing. But on the day of the raid, the Japanese military caught wind of the plan. The Raiders were told that they would have to take off from much farther out in the Pacifi c Ocean

than they had counted on. They were told that because of this they would not have enough fuel to make it to safety.

And those men went anyway.They bombed Tokyo, and then fl ew as far

as they could. Four planes crash-landed; 11 more crews bailed out, and three of the Raid-ers died. Eight more were captured; three were executed. Another died of starvation in a Japa-nese prison camp. One crew made it to Russia.

The Doolittle Raid sent a message from the United States to its enemies, and to the rest of the world:

We will fi ght. And, no matter what it takes, we will win.

Of the 80 Raiders, 62 survived the war. They were celebrated as national heroes, models of bravery. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer produced a motion picture based on the raid; ‘Thirty Sec-onds Over Tokyo,’ starring Spencer Tracy and Van Johnson was a patriotic and emotional box-offi ce hit, and the phrase became part of the national lexicon. In the movie-theater pre-views for the fi lm, MGM proclaimed that it was presenting the story "with supreme pride."

Beginning in 1946, the surviving Raiders have held a reunion each April, to commemo-rate the mission. The reunion is in a different city each year. In 1959, the city of Tucson, Arizona, as a gesture of respect and gratitude, presented the Doolittle Raiders with a set of 80 silver goblets. Each goblet was engraved with the name of a Raider.

Every year, a wooden display case bearing all 80 goblets is transported to the reunion city. Each time a Raider passes away, his goblet is turned upside down in the case at the next re-union, as his old friends bear solemn witness.

Also in the wooden case is a bottle of 1896 Hennessy Very Special cognac. The year is not happenstance: 1896 was when Jimmy Doolittle was born.

There has always been a plan: When there are only two surviving Raiders, they would

open the bottle, at last drink from it, and toast their comrades who preceded them in death.

As 2013 began, there were fi ve living Raid-ers; then, in February, Tom Griffi n passed away at age 96.

What a man he was. After bailing out of his plane over a mountainous Chinese forest after the Tokyo raid, he became ill with malaria, and almost died. When he recovered, he was sent to Europe to fl y more combat missions. He was shot down, captured, and spent 22 months in a German prisoner of war camp.

The selfl essness of these men, the sheer guts ... there was a passage in the Cincinnati En-quirer obituary for Mr. Griffi n that, on the sur-face, had nothing to do with the war, but that emblematizes the depth of his sense of duty and devotion:

‘When his wife became ill and needed to go into a nursing home, he visited her every day. He walked from his house to the nursing home, fed his wife and at the end of the day brought home her clothes. At night, he washed and ironed her clothes. Then he walked them up to her room the next morning. He did that for three years until her death in 2005.’

So now, out of the original 80, only four Raiders remain: Dick Cole (Doolittle's co-pilot on the Tokyo raid), Robert Hite, Edward Saylor and David Thatcher. All are in their 90s. They have decided that there are too few of them for

the public reunions to continue.The events in Fort Walton Beach this week

will mark the end. It has come full circle; Flor-ida's nearby Eglin Field was where the Raiders trained in secrecy for the Tokyo mission.

The town is planning to do all it can to honor the men: a six-day celebration of their valor, in-cluding luncheons, a dinner and a parade.

Do the men ever wonder if those of us for whom they helped save the country have tend-ed to it in a way that is worthy of their sacrifi ce? They don't talk about that, at least not around other people. But if you fi nd yourself near Fort Walton Beach this week, and if you should en-counter any of the Raiders, you might want to offer them a word of thanks. I can tell you from fi rsthand observation that they appreciate hear-ing that they are remembered.

The men have decided that after this fi nal public reunion they will wait until a later date -- some time this year -- to get together once more, informally and in absolute privacy. That is when they will open the bottle of brandy. The years are fl owing by too swiftly now; they are not going to wait until there are only two of them.

They will fi ll the four remaining upturned goblets.

And raise them in a toast to those who are gone.

Bob Greene

Worth remembering. How soon we forget

Gavel Gamut’s: Lemonade

GAVELGAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

A mental hospital in Nevada has been dumping its unprofi table patients by putting them on a Greyhound bus with a one-way ticket. Since 2009 this treatment facility has sent fi fteen hundred mentally ill people throughout the Unit-ed States. All of the lower forty-eight have received these refugees. I guess the tickets to Alaska were too expensive and the airlines might have balked at a government issued photo ID that said, ‘practicing schizophrenic’ so Hawaii was left out. Most of these poor, confused sick people were sent across the Nevada bor-der to California. Perhaps the institution’s brain trust that conceived this hare-brained scheme thought a few more nuts would not be noticed in places like San Francisco, L.A. and especially the state capitol in Sacramen-to. As one patient reported, he was advised by a staff member that a change of environ-ment to “Sunny California” would do him some good.

The hospital supplied each dumpee with three days of medication. This allowed the former inmates to function on the bus trip and until they could wander into the society of whichever state received these helpless and hopeless miscreants.

After the initial shock of this heartless and

dangerous practice wore off, I had a thought, probably similar to that of those who came up with this change of location debacle. Why not incorporate this scheme into our fi ght against terror?

Instead of spending tril-lions of our treasury and thousands of soldiers’ lives on invading countries, such as Iraq which had no part in

9-11, why not use our vast network of do-mestic surveillance as was done in the Bos-ton Marathon case and ID those we suspect of bad thoughts?

We could put them on Greyhound buses with one-way tickets to Canada or Mexico. We could supply them with a six pack of Coca Cola and a government issued photo passport identifying them as a suspected ter-rorist.

Then we could shut down Guantanamo and the numerous secret foreign prisons where we hold suspected terrorists for years without charges or trials. We could save a lot of money and no longer look like the Gu-lag maintaining old Soviet Union we used to criticize so sanctimoniously. There is only one more thing I need to do before the feder-al government reads this column and imple-ments my idea:

Buy Greyhound Bus stock.

I’m no different than the next person when it comes to trying to save money. We all work hard for our money and it is hard to part with it.

Let me preface this story by stating the fact that I, at one time, was a pretty good paint-er. I enjoyed painting ceilings and walls and have literally spent nearly all night many times painting. It seems like it was once a stress reducer.

About a year ago, when we moved into our Church Street home in Poseyville, I was thrilled to be in a newer home that had a sun room/offi ce that I could call my own. Although one wall is solid and I contacted my friend Layne Motz about putting windows all the way around, he and I decided together (along with my wife) that such a move would leave me with no wall space. So I decided to leave well enough alone.

The previous owner of the home was a smoker, apparently a heavy smoker. Before we moved in, I did some painting in the bed-rooms and got rid of most of the smoke smell and also added a nice new color to the rooms.

But since my area is a bit of an add-on in the back of the house, I decided to go ahead and move my offi ce in there and wait until later to paint. But apparently my heavy smok-er had used the added room for the heaviest of the smoking and as soon as it began to get warm, the room not only stunk but also sent the stench into the adjoining living room and dining room. I decided it was time to do something about it.

A few weeks ago, I went and picked out a very nice color. I bought the paint and all I needed was the time. Fortunately, I can paint

without a ladder on standard ceilings so it didn’t seem like that much of a challenge.

Oftentimes, I am somewhat ‘random.’ One evening this week I took off work at my

‘real’ job and came home in the mood, fi nally, to get the painting done. Let’s just say it was probably not the best decision I have ever made and certainly was not the thriftiest.

Since the room is 18 by 14 and packed with furniture, I had to move everything away

from the wall in an effort to clear a path for taping and eventually painting. I don’t know if my rear end is getting bigger or if I am just not as fl exible as I once was but I did, eventu-ally, get everything moved at least a couple of feet from the wall. That took nearly an hour.

Then, since this is the room where most of my computers and bookcases are located, it meant taking all the switch covers off the wall. And for some reason, those things are not in the most convenient place for a man who stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 250 pounds. But I eventually got all them off the wall.

Then it was time to tape. Do you have any idea how much tape it takes to tape off a sun room? Yes, each and every one of those little windows have to have tape if you are no more steady than I am. It took nearly two hours just to get all the windows and the woodwork taped off. By this time I am already tired and I haven’t even opened the paint can.

I took a look at the job and realized that with all the skinny boards, I would have to do a whole lot of it by brush. But despite being tired, I was determined to save a lot of money and do it myself. After all, at this point, all I had into the job was a gallon of paint, a paint

brush, a roller pan and roller, and three or four hours. Despite the fact it was beginning to get late, I had made a commitment to myself that I was going to fi nish this job before I went to bed.

For the fi rst hour or two of painting, things went pretty well. As the paint began to dry, I could tell I had chosen just the right color. Since the job was fl oor to ceiling, I did a lot of bending and stretching. I didn’t realize how long it had been since I had moved furniture, did taping, and then began painting from fl oor to ceiling. But my pride in my work kept me on top of my game and things were looking pretty good.

I rounded the third of four corners still in high gear. I was making good time and was nearly fi nished. I had decided to leave my $3,500 computer on top of the small desk where I do much of my work for the paper. After all, I had moved it a couple or three feet away from the wall and anyone should be able to fi t into the space I had made.

As I approached the fi nish line…the fi nal corner where all this brilliance was going to come together, I began to feel the tired-ness. After all, I had gotten up early and had worked and had mowed and got a lot accom-plished this day. As I reached the last two feet, I began to lose my balance. Nothing was wrong. I was just too tired and a little too fat to be in this corner with such a high-priced piece of computer equipment.

And then the unthinkable happened. As I leaned over to dip my brush for one of the fi -nal times, somehow my rear end bumped into the desk on which my expensive computer sat. As I heard weird noises coming from the incidental contact, I stood straight up and turned around all in one motion. As I did, I tried to reach across the desk that was turning

over and save my computer. At that moment, I tripped on my own feet and as the corner of the Macintosh made contact with the tile fl oor, my chest made contact with the corner of the desk. For those of you who don’t know, after a little brush with death a few years ago, I am now fully equipped with a defi brillator/pacemaker and the device implanted in my chest made direct contact with the pointed corner of the desk.

I wasn’t sure if the device had gone off or if I had knocked the device through the muscles that have grown around it over the last nine years. But either way, I knew it hurt.

To make matters worse, the sound of the computer crash awakened my wife who had been semi-asleep on the couch in the adjoin-ing room. Although she could not see what had happened, immediately, she sprang from the couch only to ask “Did your computer fall off?” Not “Did the corner of the desk go through your chest?” or “Do you think you are going to be OK?” She seemed much more concerned about the condition of the com-puter. And besides being tired, grouchy, and in pain, I then experienced another emotion…anger.

But true to myself, I fi nished the room, in-cluding picking up and sweeping up all the pieces of glass in the room. So now, $3,500 later and a sore body and chest later, I can say that I saved myself a couple hundred dollars painting my own porch. It looks real nice. But if I ever decide to paint another room…well, I’ll do the same thing again. I’m not paying someone to do something I can do myself. I just pray that the next time my computer doesn’t ‘crash.’

P.S.. I go Tuesday to get the batteries checked on my ‘implant.’ It was time for that anyhow.

Computer crash of a different type paints a new picture

By Dave PearceThe North Posey Vikings used an 8-run

fi rst inning to gain control early Friday night en route to a 12-0, fi ve-inning, high school baseball victory over Vincennes Riv-et. In their big frame the Vikings used seven hits, including two doubles, while grabbing the fi rm lead.

Junior Christian Jones started the uprising with a lead-off single, while Jacob Bender and Alec Werry each followed with walks. Senior outfi elder Colton Martin made sure that North Posey would not squander the scoring opportunity by lining a bases clear-ing double, giving the Vikings a 3-0 lead. Nick Heldt, James Marshall, Derek Lindau-er, Jones, and Kyle Voegel followed with run-scoring hits for the 8-0 advantage.

North Posey tallied a single run in the fourth inning when Werry singled and came around to score on Martin’s second hit of the contest. The Vikings put the game away with three runs in their half of the fi fth in-ning, highlighted by base hits from Tyler Stolz, Zack Carl, and Voegel.

Senior Alec Werry picked up his second win of the year by hurling four scoreless in-nings, while striking out fi ve, and limiting the Patriots to two hits.

“I was pleased to see our offense burst out of the gate,” said Viking coach Kevin Smith. “We were aggressive at the plate and put some hits together, allowing us to take control from the get-go. Any time you can get out front early it allows you to put pres-sure on the opponent.”

The victory at Vincennes capped a three win week for North Posey, who defeated

Evansville Central on Wednesday and Wood Memorial on Tuesday.

Against Central the Vikings posted tallies in fi ve of the six innings played, while post-ing a 12-2 victory. Senior hurler Kyle Voe-gel earned the victory, tossing fi ve innings and striking out seven Bear hitters.

The Vikings took a 2-1 lead in the bot-tom of the fi rst inning when Colton Martin singled in Voegel and Jacob Bender with two outs. North Posey added two more runs in the second frame when Alec Werry and Reed Gerteisen crossed home plate for a 4-1 host margin.

After Central pulled to within 4-2 with a run in the top of the fourth, the Vikings bounced back with four runs in their half of the inning. Run scoring hits by Martin and sophomore James Marshall highlighted the stanza for North Posey who led 8-2 head-ing into the fi fth inning. North Posey scored a single run in the fi fth and then ended the game with three tallies in the bottom of the sixth inning to post the victory.

“Getting a win against Evansville Cen-tral was a nice one to earn,” Smith com-mented. “They have a good ball club, evidenced by their Friday night win over Evansville North. Our players came out with a good focus and we played well in all phases of the game.”

Senior outfi elder Zach Scheller went two for two, with a run scored and an RBI for the winners.

North Posey’s victory at Wood Memo-rial, Tuesday, was a hard-earned one as the Trojans held the visitors to two runs through the fi rst fi ve innings of play. The

Vikings then pulled away by scoring three times in the sixth and adding four more runs in the seventh for the 9-1 win.

Sophomore pitcher Derek Lindauer picked up his second win of the season by lasting fi ve-and-a-third innings and hold-ing Wood Memorial to three hits. Senior Colton Martin relieved in the sixth to earn

the save.Viking senior Nick Heldt was two for

two at the plate in the victory.North Posey faces another full week of

baseball this week as they host Forest Park tonight, Tuesday, Boonville on Thursday, before traveling to face Evansville Memo-rial Saturday morning in a 10 a.m. contest.

By Steve KochersbergerComing into this week’s pair of home

games with Castle and Mount Carmel the Mount Vernon boys’ baseball team hoped to build on their great season that has gotten them recognition in the polls.

Mount Vernon’s fourth place ranking in the 3A poll and Castle’s second place rank-ing in the 4A poll made for a promising match up as they played Wednesday night in Mount Vernon. But when all was said and done Wednesday, it was Castle who walked away victorious beating the Wildcats 8-3.

The Knights would waste no time with the Wildcats on Wednesday. Castle was able to consistently get runners on and over and that helped them to take an early 4-0 lead on Mount Vernon in the fi rst inning of play. The Wildcats would threaten in the second in-ning but were not able to get anyone across home plate. The Cats found themselves in an even deeper hole when the Knights be-gan to build on their lead in the third inning by scoring two runs on an overthrown ball to fi rst base. This 6-0 lead helped Castle re-main confi dent and play looser the rest of the way.

In the bottom of the third inning, senior Jevin Redman doubled to lead off the in-ning and Drake McNamara followed that up by doubling in Redman to score the fi rst run of the game for the Wildcats. McNama-ra would eventually score in the inning on a failed attempt at a double play and all of a sudden Mount Vernon found themselves just down 6-2 with lots of baseball to play.

Castle and Mount Vernon would trade runs the next two innings of play as Castle scored one in the fourth and Mount Vernon one in the fi fth. Wildcat Trevor Veeck dou-

bled after Jevin Redman walked placing runners in scoring position on second and third base. The Wildcats scored on a sacri-fi ce fl y and found themselves still trailing Castle 7-3 after fi ve innings of play.

The Knights would score once more to ice the game and take the victory Wednes-day night over Mount Vernon 8-3. And while it wasn’t the exact result the Wild-cats had hoped for, the team had to move forward the very next night as they hosted an important Big Eight Conference game with the Mount Carmel Golden Aces.

Against the Aces Thursday the Wildcats were the ones to go up early and hang on for the win as they scored three in the fi rst and two more in the third to take an early 5-0 lead. That lead would be all they would need as they took care of business defen-sively to give them their fourth conference win 7-3 over Mount Carmel.

Trevor Veeck got the win for the Cats and Hank Dausman was even able to come and pitch in relief after being on the injury list most of the season. For Mount Vernon, Thursday’s win places them atop the Big Eight conference standings (with Jasper), both with 4-0 records in the con-ference. And after splitting the pair of games this week, the Wildcat season re-cord is now 14-4.

This week the two teams tied for the Big Eight Conference lead, Jasper and Mount Vernon will play Tuesday evening in Mount Vernon for the Conference title.

Jasper is currently ranked number one in the state polls with a 16-2 record after a convincing win at home over the Castle Knights. Game time Tuesday is set for 5:30 p.m.

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

Rick, Shawn and Tracy Burks show the pride with which Burks celebrated his Eagle Scout Award on April 28. Photo submitted

By Dave PearceA North Posey High School sophomore

has earned the rank of Eagle Scout and in the process, has helped his New Harmony com-munity.

Shawn Burks, the 17-year-old son of Rick and Tracy Burks serves on the cadet fi re de-partment in New Harmony. He said that he was helping another Eagle Scout in Griffi n with his Eagle Scout project when the con-versation turned to what he could do to help his community.

“The New Harmony Fire Chief lives in the Griffi n area and we were up there talk-ing about it,” Burks said. “He told me that the department was wanting to build a helicopter pad in New Harmony and I just thought that would be a good project for me.”

So on Sunday, April 28, an air evac helipad was dedicated at the New Harmony Fire Sta-tion.

New Harmony Fire Chief Scott Miller said the community was in need of a permanent

landing zone for medical helicopters.“The project was already funded by the

Posey County Community Foundation,” Burks said. “I had to go before the Eagle Board at the Scout offi ce in Evansville and get it approved.”

The pad is made out of concrete and IMI delivered the concrete for the pad. With the help of adults and some friends, the project was completed.

“I did most of the planning and showed them what they needed to do,” Burks ex-plained of his role in the helipad.

Burks said he has been in Scouts for many years and has earned numerous badges.

“It’s been a lot of fun and it is a great thing to have on a resume,” Burks said. “I’ve been to a lot of camps and have had a lot of fun activities.”

Besides his involvement in Scouts, Burks is an active member of his 4-H Club and is also a member of the North Posey soccer Vi-kings.

Burks honored with Eagle Scout Award

By Dave PearceIt’s been a long week for

the North Posey girls’ soft-ball team and that’s not nec-essarily a bad thing. Despite a long week, the girls man-aged to pull out two wins in three games. The ‘long’ part comes from playing back-to-back extra-inning games this week.

On Tuesday evening at Tecumseh, the Lady Vikings and Lady Braves were en-gaged in a ‘semi-state-type’ game that went 12 innings before anyone could put a run on the board. In the end, it would be the Braves who would score in the bottom of the twelfth inning to claim an important Pocket Athletic

Conference win. But Coach Gary Gentil had nothing but praise for his troops.

“Both pitchers were really on,” Gentil said of the long game. “Hailee (Elderkin) was matching (Tecumseh pitcher) Summers and as a freshman, she won state. We were in a battle for many in-nings and each team got a runner to third base one time and to second base once. And then in the twelfth inning, Tecumseh got a couple of hits in there and got the run across the plate.”

The Tecumseh win was classic softball as the lead-

off batter reached fi rst base and a sacrifi ce moved her into scoring position. They had an infi eld hit that short-stop Kelsey Owen came up with that kept the runners from advancing. Then, on the second sacrifi ce of the in-ning, the batter drove center fi elder Taylor Patton to the fence where she came up with the catch but was unable to keep the run from scoring to give the Braves the win.

The Lady Vikings are un-der the leadership now of a pitcher who was the back-up pitcher at the beginning of the season. An injury to Ashley Schoor forced Hailee Elderkin to grow up fast and has she ever.

“Hailee did an excel-lent job,” Gentil said of the young hurler. “She was hit-ting her spots in the twelfth inning as well as she was in the seventh inning. Both teams played well. Their coach (Gordon Wood) said it reminded him of one of those tournament games where no one wanted to give up. It was just fun to be around.”

But the Lady Vikings were able to come back the very next evening and play another extra-inning game, beating the Southridge Raid-ers by that identical score of 1-0. That meant that the Viking offense produced just one run in 20 straight innings while the defense gave up only one run in 20 innings.

“In the top of the eighth inning, Taylor Franklin got a walk and we sacrifi ced her over,” Gentil explained. “Megan Baehl drew a walk and Anna Will got a big sin-gle that scored Taylor from second.”

The Vikings were able to hold the Raiders scoreless.

Against Tecumseh, the Vi-kings had three hits. Baehl and Will each had singles and Courtney Crowder had a double. At Southridge, Owen, Baehl, Will, Haylee Harness, and Alli Graff had hits.

With senior Amy Bran-denstein out with a concus-sion, designated hitter Taylor Franklin has been brought into the line-up at fi rst base.

“Amy was out this week and they think it could be three to four weeks now,” Gentil said. “We’re just not sure.”

The Vikings fi nally got to play at home on Friday night against Vincennes Lincoln and fought their way through the long week to preserve a 5-4 over one of the better teams in the Big Eight Con-ference.

“They were a very good hard-hitting team and Hailee pitched pretty well but we had a few more errors than we have been having,” Gen-til said. “We had been re-ally clean in the fi eld the fi rst two games of the week and turned around and had four errors against Vincennes.

The Alices got on the board fi rst in the second in-ning but in the fourth inning,

the Viking bats came alive and scored three runs.

“Taylor Patton’s bat really came alive and she ended up going two-for-three,” Gen-til said. “Taylor Franklin seemed to get her bat going again after a couple of games where she didn’t seem to be hitting very well. She had a double against them in a key situation.”

The Vikings added single runs in the fi fth and sixth in-nings and made that stand up for the 5-4 win.

This week the Lady Vi-kings will be squaring off against not only opponent but also Mother Nature as rain is forecast for Monday through Thursday.

Tuesday the team is scheduled to play their fi nal conference game at Pike Central while they travel to Wood Memorial on Fri-day. On Saturday, the Jasper Wildcats will come to North Posey for the Lady Vikings’ senior night.

The week leaves the Vi-kings at 3-4 in the confer-ence and 8-11 overall.

“Things seem to be go-ing a lot better for us and we played three intense ball-games this week,” Gentil said. “It was nice to have a winning week.”

By Steven KocherspergerThe girls’ tennis team at

Mount Vernon High School is on a roll, quietly and me-thodically beating their op-ponents to continue their great season. With section-als just around the corner the Lady Cats are playing some of their best tennis of the season. This week the Wildcats put up four more wins to their season total as they beat Boonville, Vin-cennes Lincoln, Washing-ton, and Tecumseh.

After beating Boonville 5-0 early in the week, the Wildcats turned their at-tention to the Vincennes Lincoln Alices Tuesday at home. Both Claire Schro-eder (number one singles) and Hayley Salaman (number three singles) overwhelmed their Vin-cennes opponents by shut-ting them out 6-0, 6-0. In number two singles play Sara O’Neil defeated her opponent 6-4, 6-1 to com-plete the sweep over the

Alices.In doubles play it was

more of the same for the Wildcats. Zoe Burkhart and Livia Hopper beat Vincennes’ Myra Bauer and Claire Dillon 6-1, 6-2 while Riley Keating and Megan McCarty beat Sam Libecap and Kara Hand 6-1, 6-0 to give Mount Vernon the victory on the day.

Mount Vernon then traveled to Washington to take on the Hatchets in a rain make-up dual. Wash-ington hung with Mount Vernon giving them ev-erything they could han-dle but it was the Wildcats who walked away victori-ous Wednesday.

In doubles play the Hatchets defeated both Wildcat teams to gather two victories on the day over Mount Vernon. But it was in singles play that Mount Vernon came on strong and walked away victorious. Claire Schro-

eder played well once again and beat her Wash-ington counterpart 6-2, 6-0 while Sara O’Neil played great once again in singles winning 6-4, 6-1 as well. Hayley Salaman picked up the victory in number three singles 6-2, 6-1 and Mount Vernon took the conference win to continue their great play.

On Thursday, Mount Vernon traveled to Tecum-seh and swept the Braves 5-0 to give Mount Vernon four straight victories on the week.

The wins bring Mount Vernon’s record to 8-2 on the season, right where they want to be just a week-and-a-half away from the sectional.

This week the Wildcats have four matches once again on their schedule as they host Castle and North High school and travel to Mater Dei and play in the Heritage Hills Invitational as well.

Lady Cats continue their winning ways, improve record to 8-2

By Steven KocherspergerWhat a wild week it was

for the Mount Vernon girls’ softball team. After win-ning fi ve of their last six games the Wildcats came into the week confi dent in their ability to continue to score runs and win ball games. The runs came as expected and the Wildcats found themselves splitting a pair of exciting games in consecutive nights.

On Tuesday the Wildcats hosted Big Eight Confer-ence foe Princeton in what looked to be a tough match-up. Princeton came into the night having beaten some impressive competition on the season and all in atten-dance noticed they came ready to play.

The fi rst three innings of play were a pitcher’s duel. Wildcat pitcher Mackenzie Stratton and Tiger pitcher Taylor Holzmeyer traded innings by setting down the opponents and kept the other team scoreless through three innings of play.

The fourth inning would be better for the Tigers though. With two outs in the top of the fourth Princ-eton continued to battle and ended up scoring sev-en runs behind their great hitting and miscues by the Wildcat defense.

The Wildcats would try and chip away at the lead though. The Cats scored two in the bottom of the fourth inning and one in the fi fth behind a run scoring double by senior Brittany Wilson to cut the Tiger lead to 7-3 after fi ve innings of play. And after Princeton scored two more runs in the top of the sixth inning to go ahead 9-3 it looked like all hope had been lost for Mount Vernon.

That’s when the Lady Cats showed what they are made of this season. While many teams would have just laid down and gone home quietly, these Wild-

cat softball players did the opposite.

After back-to-back base hits by Madison Denning and Tylyn Tanner, Katie Tucker’s patience paid off at the plate when she loaded the bases by draw-ing a walk. This brought to the plate freshman Ellen Denning who is becom-ing quite a force for the lady Wildcat softball team. Denning, facing a new pitcher, crushed the fi rst pitch she saw for her fi rst career high school grand slam to bring Mount Ver-non within two runs at 9-7 in the sixth inning. Morgan Matthews and Kelley Mc-Cloud would both double in a run each in the inning completing an amazing comeback by the Wildcats in the inning at 9-9.

And after both teams failed to score in the sev-enth the game went to extra innings. Princeton would

get two runs off of Mount Vernon’s relievers to go ahead 11-9 in the eighth in-ning. Mount Vernon would get one last crack at it and would only get one run, off a home run by senior Mor-gan Matthews, and end the game one run behind 11-10.

The very next night the Wildcats hosted the Bosse Bulldogs looking for a chance to put the extra in-ning disappointment be-hind them. They did just that in convincing fashion as they crushed the Bull-dogs by scoring sixteen runs off of eleven hits to beat Bosse 16-5 in fi ve in-nings at home.

With the week behind them the Wildcats enter this week with an 8-8 over-all record. This week the Cats will play three times on the road at Carmi, at Vincennes Lincoln, and at the Central Invitational.

MAY 7, 2013!

Summer is here and ga-rage sales and fl ea markets abound. But as you search for that perfect treasure, be sure to keep safety in mind. Second-hand items, especially electronics, building supplies, appli-ances and helmets, may carry certain risks if dam-aged or used. If you are planning on reselling con-sumer items, check the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Web site

for a guide on things that can and cannot be sold, and for product recalls. CSA Group, a leading certifi cation and testing organization, offers these safety tips for yard sale shoppers.

Second-hand items• Avoid electrical or gas

products if a label from a recognized certifi ca-tion organization, such as CSA Group, is miss-ing. Look closely at the

mark to ensure it matches the design and colour of certifi cation marks from the same organization on other similar products.

• Check wiring and extension cords for wear and damage. In particu-lar, look for worn insu-lation and splices on the cord and loose or exposed parts on the plug.

• Avoid purchasing used bicycle, hockey or construction helmets,

as you don’t know their history or what damage may be hidden from plain view.

Counterfeit or illegal goods

• Counterfeiters often use fl ea markets to peddle fake goods. Packaging on counterfeits is often poorly designed or has only partial illustrations. Misspellings and unclear printing on products and labels may be another in-dicator of a fake product.

• Brand-name compa-nies want you to know whose product you’re buying, so look for a rec-ognized name. Also, look for return addresses or company contact infor-mation on packages.

• Check the ‘look and feel’ of goods. Fake prod-ucts often seem light and fl imsy.
