He was informed that the silver 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo driven by Melissa Moberg had run through his backyard fence and crashed into the back southwest corner of his own home at 1301 Locust Street in Mount Vernon. Fortunately, no one was injured. Speaking on Friday, Beloat said Moberg stated she blacked out, caus- ing the one-vehicle accident. He reported that Moberg was taken to the hospital by the Posey EMS. “Whatever Ms. Moberg’s medical condi- tion was,” Beloat commented, “was not life-threatening at that point.” He added, “She wasn’t criminally charged with anything at this point unless something else comes back based on hospital findings.” The crash took out a large portion of Beloat’s fence and busted in two walls of an interior bedroom. Beloat is waiting for Moberg’s insurance adjuster to get back with him about damages. In the meantime, he is gath- ering repair estimates from contractors.

PAGE A2 • NOVEMBER 30, 2010 THE POSEY COUNTY NEWS • SERVING THE COUNTY SINCE 1882 • WWW.POSEYCOUNTYNEWS.COM

As a past Posey County Commissioner serving in the late nineties, I have been read-ing about the controversy concerning the pos-sible location of the Ambulance. I fi nd it very interesting that the three present County Com-missioner's (Jim Alsop, Scott Moye, and John Sherretz) cannot make a decision on the place-ment of this Ambulance.

When I read that the present group of Com-mission's were having a study done by the EMS director, I was compelled to write this letter. My two former fellow Commissioners and myself (Bill Elpers, Greg Martin, Randy Thornburg) had the very same issue come up in our administration. It is very simple gentlemen, you make a decision. As elected and paid Posey County Commissioner's, it is your job and your duty to make a decision on this situation. You don't spend the county's money needlessly!

Put the politics aside and do what is right for the taxpayers and citizens of Posey County. I know that you may lose a few votes here and there, but that is your job. I know all three of these Commissioner's and I am sure that getting re-elected is a priority for them. A total waste of taxpayers money for an Ambulance study is not the answer. EMS Consulting bid $4000 , Fitch and Associates bid $4,800, and The Ludwig Group bid $7,500 and it was recommended by the EMS director to take the highest bid.

As county executives it is your job to make decisions based on the facts. I fi nd it quite ri-

diculous that three grown men cannot make a simple decision as county representatives. I certainly do not like the fact that the Com-missioners intend to spend the county's money needlessly, because the three of them don't want to offend a few people.

I am sure that my friends in Marrs Town-ship and my friends in Northern Posey County share common concerns about the coverage and safety issues on this subject. Both parties have given their perspective on the issue and the Commissioner's have the facts of the situ-ation; all that remains is the commissioner's to have the fortitude to perform their duty.

I would recommend to the present Posey County Commissioner's that they implement the following guidelines in arriving at a con-clusion for the Ambulance issue. Number one- Statement of purpose, number two-Goals, number three-Defi ne the Problem, number four-Analysis performed, number fi ve-Poten-tial Solutions, number six-Recommended So-lution, and fi nally-Action Plan.

In this current economic climate, it is essen-tial that we all do our part to make a tax-dollar go as far possible to get the "most bang for our buck." The "Action Plan" should not include a wasteful study, it should entail a simple deci-sion on behalf of our present Board of Com-missioner's.

Sincerely, Former Posey County Commis-sioner, Randy Thornburg

Brenda VanderverPresident, PC Pound Puppies

PC pound puppies craft show a success

It was the morning before Thanksgiving morning and I was, as always, in a hurry. I had a whole lot to accomplish before I headed to work in Henderson.

I got up later than I should have because of the rain. But once I got up and got going, I put my head down and pre-pared to tackle the day.

First, I had to fi nish loading everything into the car. You see, my brother and family were coming home from Texas for the fi rst time in four years. We took ad-vantage of our proximity to Harmonie State Park and booked one of the cabins where he and his family will stay for the holidays. What better gift to give a family of fi ve than to give them their own place to stay for the holiday.

After doing several of the things I had to do, I headed to Harmonie Park. As usual, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The cabins are always clean.

I rushed around and got everything unload-ed. My wife, Connie, had been a real trooper through all this. She had been cooking for two days in addition to doing housework in preparation for hosting both the Pearces

and the Redmans for the holiday. That was something we started several years ago, and

it has worked out well. Our two families seem to have become one.

She had packed all the things my brother and his family would need for the holiday weekend. All I had to do was to take it out there and unload it. That included

a pot of hot vegetable soup that would be waiting for my brother when he arrived at the cabin from Texas.

Then I headed back into New Harmony. There were several things that needed to be accomplished at the newspaper before I could head to Kentucky for my job at the au-tomobile dealership.

So as the cold rain pounded my car, I head-ed into New Harmony. Michelle, our offi ce manager, had been back and forth to the hos-pital the past couple of days with her mother enduring surgery on her back. With so many people taking it easy the day before Thanks-giving, I knew if I was going to accomplish anything, I would have to do it before noon.

So, as usual, when you are in a hurry, it seemed I got behind every slow-moving ve-

hicle on the road. By the time I got into New Harmony, I was fuming.

And what would happen than I would get behind a slow-moving vehicle headed for the Post Offi ce. I had to get to the Post Offi ce to get the mail before Michelle would head out to the hospital. Did this old boy in front of me not realize that he was not the only person on the road? He took his time leaving every stop. I’m not sure he ever got over 15 miles per hour as he went through town.

Finally, I reached the Post Offi ce. Of course, the parking lot was full and only one parking place was left.

It seemed that it took him 15 minutes to turn into the space and get out of my way. I drove around the Post Offi ce and found a parking place in the next block.

By the time I got inside the Post Offi ce, this older gentleman had already gotten his mail and was heading out the door as I was going in. The only thing I really noticed about him was that he walked as slowly as he drove and he walked with a bad limp.

I had several items to take care of in the Post Offi ce and believe it or not, when I came out and got back on the street, who would I pull in behind but the ma who seemingly had been a thorn in my side all day long.

However, as I got closer, I looked at the license plate on his truck and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was the license plate of a Purple Heart. It was an instant lesson in real-ity and the shame I felt with it. I rightfully felt like a heel.

This man had generously given of himself to the point of being awarded a Purple Heart so I could enjoy the freedom to do the things I had to do before Thanksgiving.

Although this gentleman probably never knew he had agitated me, he unknowingly had taught me a lesson.

If I had gone through what he had gone through, I probably would have wanted to take my time and enjoy my trip to the Post Offi ce in the morning. I would have even en-joyed the rain and looking at my little home town. I doubt that I would have been in such a hurry. That veteran had much more of a right to be on that road taking his time than I ever thought of having.

So, the next time I get all bent out of shape over something like this, I am going to try and remember the lesson I learned today. Don’t be too hard on the people around you. You never know what they are going through or have been through...and sometimes they might have been doing it for you.

‘Road rage’ incident opens eyes to possibilities

I’ve started Christmas shopping, put out the Christmas dinnerware and decorations and trimmed our family tree. I’m wearing holiday tops and carrying a Santa purse. It’s all no use. After 51 years of celebrating Christmas, the season is leaving me cold.

Once I savored the warmth of hot cocoa after an eve-ning spent caroling with the church youth group, travel-ing near and far to cheer our country neighbors. Once I cherished playing Mary in the annual church Christmas pageant. Once I took delight from giving and getting simple presents—snuggly pajamas and a wooly scarf, tam and gloves.

Now I do well to catch a few bars of carols on the radio while I race between stores to snatch the next bargain. Now I travel near and far, competing with in-laws and out-laws, to fi nd the gargantuan gift that won’t

be tossed aside like the wrapping. Gone is the humility and honor of pondering the birth of Jesus in my heart like the Blessed Mother.

To salvage Christmas, I have to count on a second chance with God. This year, I hope to allow the four Sundays of Advent to prepare me for the gift of the Christ Child. He teaches me that presence is the greatest present of all. I’m reminded now of all the ways I can touch lives with love this

season.Once again, our family has made its an-

nual pledge to the Posey County United Way. Alone, our contribution wouldn’t amount to much, but when combined with all the other pledges, it helps to meet the needs of Posey people in a big way. The Posey County Unit-ed Way brochure emphasizes that more than 99 cents of every dollar stays here.

Those funds help agencies so Posey Coun-ty benefi ts from a broad outreach: the Albion Fellows Bacon Center, the American Red Cross (Posey County Chapter), the Buffalo Trace Council Boy Scouts, Catholic Chari-ties, Children’s Learning Center of Posey County, Christian Church Day Care Center of Wadesville, Community Emergency As-sistance, ECHO Community Health Care, Family Matters of Posey County, Home-less Shelter of Mount Vernon, Indiana Legal Services, Lampion Center, New Harmony Ministry Association, Posey County Coun-cil on Aging, Posey County Rehabilitation Services, The Salvation Army, the Visiting Nurse Association and WNIN Radio Read-ing Service.

Men, women and children, seniors and people with disabilities—all receive a hand up from United Way agencies.

Beth Russell, Executive Director of Fam-ily Matters, passes out for the taking a pocket

resource guide about the agencies and helps to match people to the appropriate service.

Likewise, we can hear the Christmas an-gels calling as we pass the angel trees at our churches. Posey people are asking for pres-ents that hearken back to a time of simpler pleasures—clothes and books, for example. We only need to open our pocketbooks just a little wider to supply these wants.

For those who have Christmas year round, perhaps it’s time to give a donation in their name to one of the local food banks. The Mount Vernon Food Bank even sends a Christmas card to let friends know when we honor them in this way.

With some effort, I can remember again the reason for the season. The Salvation Army is still looking for bell ringers to solicit donations outside local stores. Perhaps I’ll even be able to go Christmas caroling again this year. It’d be nice to keep a song in my heart throughout the year.

Taking ‘self’ out of equation opens new possibilities for season

The bird was an immense, golden-brown American tur-key, poised on the platter and ready for the Bahdziewicz (pronounced Bod-SHEV-itch) clan. The clan leader, also known as Dad, was Abraham Lincoln Bahdzie-wicz, who asked the children to stop squirming and argu-ing and pay attention.

“Before we ask the Thanksgiving blessing,” Abe said, “I think we should each say what we’re thankful for. We’ll start with the oldest. That’s me. I’m particularly thankful that the Indians helped the Pilgrims and they got to know each other and they all became Americans.”

“Dad,” said Neal Arm-strong Bahdziewicz, “were the Pilgrims Polish?”

“I’m sure some of them were, anyway,” he said. “Mother’s turn.”

“I’m thankful that our fam-ily is together and healthy to-day,” Sally said.

“I’m next,” said Wood-row Wilson Bahdziewicz.

“I’m thankful for basket-ball.”

“I’m thankful for Girl Scouts,” said Betsy Ross

Badziewicz. “They’re fun. I have lots of friends there.”

“Baseball,” said Neal Armstrong Bahdziewicz.

“Baseball?” Neal nodded. “I’m thank-

ful for second base.” “You play second base,”

Woody said.“That’s why.”“John’s turn,” said Dad.

“I like picture books more than chapter books,” said the third grader, John Kennedy Bahdziewicz.

“Would you say you were thankful for picture books?” said Mom.

“I just did,” John said.“Now Frank,” Dad said.“I like … Tuffy,” said

Franklin Delano Bahdzie-wicz. “He’s my friend.”

“And a very good dog he is, too, Frank.”

Then the entire Bahdzie-wicz clan looked toward the high chair where the baby, Laura Bush Bahdziewicz, played with the tray. She smiled at everyone.

“Me, too, Laura,” said Dad. “Now let’s bow our heads.”

He later attended Ivy Tech College and became the owner/operator of Fullerton’s Transmissions in Cynthiana.

Vincent truly loved the Lord Jesus Christ, serving as pastor of Antioch Memorial Baptist Church for nearly 35 years. He later became a member of North Park Baptist Church in Evansville.

He was preceded in death by his parents Vincent P. and Nora E. (Robertson) Fullerton and a granddaughter Eve Hedrick.

Students at New Harmony School participated in a community service project recently. Here seventh graders Jake Kaufman, Mark Morris, Alex Adams, Jonah Blrevins, Alton Folz, Robert Hyatt, Zach Davis, Joanie Spillane, Becca Hunter and Blake Walden bring homemade apple pies to the residents at New Harmonie Healthcare.

By Pam RobinsonFor three years now,

Mount Vernon’s At the Cross Mission has been providing free meals—no questions asked—on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. The Rev. Myers Hyman, founder of the mis-sion, reports a consistent average of 80 meals, many to children and teens, served each evening. Just recently, Cargill awarded Hyman a $5,000 grant to purchase two new refrigerators for the mis-sion. Yet, to continue, At the Cross Mission has a more pressing need, according to the state fi re marshal.

Hyman must install a new range hood and a fi re sup-pression system that meet the specifi cations of state build-ing code regulations. A little over $9,000 is needed to pur-chase the equipment--$9,000 above and beyond budgeted operating expenses. A com-mercial gas range has been donated to the mission, but cannot be used until the proper range hood and fi re suppression system are in-stalled.

On Friday and Saturday, November 19 and 20, Hyman and a group of volunteers sold hot dogs and hamburg-ers at 604 E. Fourth Street as

part of the Super Wash Cus-tomer Appreciation Days. This fundraiser will help his cause, but more donations from individuals and busi-nesses are needed to cover the entire cost of the range hood and fi re suppression system.

At the Cross Mission is an outreach program of First Church of the Nazarene in Mount Vernon with 501(c)3 status, so all donations are tax deductible. Hyman urges the community to support the immediate needs of his free meal ministry by mail-ing a check to At the Cross Mission, located at 301 Main

Street in Mount Vernon.In the future, Hyman hopes

the community will help him to satisfy his dreams of fur-nishing the mission with a 20-quart commercial mixer, a meat grinder, a food proces-sor, a garbage disposal, stor-age shelving, a rinsing hose for the sink faucet, steam and cold tables and cafeteria-style dinner plates. All these items would help Myers and his volunteers in preparing large quantities of food for the evening meals.

For more information about supporting At the Cross Mission, call Hyman at 838-9670 or 453-9427.

First Baptist Church to celebrate 60th anniversary

By: Pastor Lee Brown,North Posey Community Church

Well, it’s almost time for the “most wonderful time of the year.” You know, that joy-ous season when we watch all of these businesses trip over themselves to avoid using the hateful term “Christmas” in their advertising, (a term that offi cially offends exactly .000001% of the world popu-latio). So, during this holiday season, let’s gather around the holiday tree, decorated with all of our holiday lights and open our holiday presents that we bought during the holiday sale and sing holiday songs, (except for the ones with any religious undertones), and ponder why in the world we are even celebrating this day to begin with, (“Hey honey, I’m giving you this present and I don’t know why. Merry holiday of your religious pref-erence, Sweetheart.”).

For Christians, Christmas is a sacred time of the year when

we remember and thank God for sending His Son Jesus to this earth. It’s a time for fami-ly, friends and joyous thoughts of love, charity and hope. And even though we sometimes get too consumed with the mate-rial aspects of Christmas, we never lose sight of the true meaning. Ask any Christian what Christmas means to them and they will tell you that it all starts with Christ and His birth, (and that is why we get so bent out of shape when there is a deliberate and intentional at-tempt to eliminate Him from this time).

To remove Christ from Christmas is the same as re-moving Columbus from Co-lumbus Day. If you remove the person, then the day doesn’t exist. This day is about Je-sus, set-apart to celebrate His birth and the promise of hope, and no dope-smoking, long-haired, bra-burning, hygiene-defi cient, Birkenstock-wearing hippie should have the right to remove Christ from Christmas

under the guise of feigned out-rage. Just because they live in a commune consisting of tan-gerine trees and marmalade skies doesn’t mean that the rest of the world has to sub-mit to their wishes. They can go to Iran, where they don’t celebrate Christmas. But, I digress.

So even though keep-ing Christ in Christmas may seem insignifi cant to others, it means a lot to Christians. And it is disturbing that, by their ac-tions and by their words, they are showing that they can’t even say His Name. And if they can’t even say His Name, then it shows that this cause to remove Christ from Christmas has gone beyond being merely politically-correct to the point of absolute hatred.

Can you imagine hating someone so much that the mere mention of their name in your presence is incredibly of-fensive? And this hatred begs the question: if they can‘t say Christmas, why do they even

celebrate it? And why is it okay to say Christmas in July, but not Christmas during De-cember? Could it be that it is not the name, but the reason for the season? Could it be that the mere observance of the time of Christ on this earth is a damning reminder of our sinfulness and need for a Savior? Remove the name, re-move the guilt and awareness of our own sin and rebellion against God.

Without Christ, there is no Christmas, (literally and fi gu-ratively). Without Him, there is no peace on earth. Without Him, there is no goodwill to-ward men. Without Him, there is no forgiveness, love, mercy and hope of reconciliation with God. If they think it’s bad now, imagine a life without the hope found in Christ, (and contrary to what their professor told them in college, they don’t want a world without Him).

We must have this day, but more importantly, He must have this day. And not just

Christmas, but every day of the year. For even professing Christians dishonor the name of Christ when we celebrate Christmas, with all of its in-tent, and then fail to acknowl-edge Christ the other 363 days of the year, (we’ll be in church for Easter).

Christmas is all we have left. We’ve lost Sundays to our busy schedules, Easter to a bunny, and Thanksgiving to a bunch of PC turkeys and a lot of other things, along the way, that we once held sacred.

But as long as we remem-ber His birth, we remember His life. And as long as we remember His life and the fact that He lives today, there is still hope. For as long as Christ lives, hope lives. And as long as Christ is in Christmas, He is still in our thoughts, and if He is still in our thoughts, then that means that He is still in our life. As long as His Name is on our lips, hope resides in our heart. And that is some-thing that they will never take from us. Merry Christmas.

CRUST INGREDIENTS1 cup pecans• 1/2 cup all-purpose fl our• 1/2 cup brown sugar• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (approximately 4 gra-• ham crackers)2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened• 1 egg yolk•

FILLING INGREDIENTS4 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature• 2 cups (1 pound) brown sugar• 5 large eggs• 3 tablespoons all purpose fl our• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice• 1/4 teaspoon salt• 2 tablespoons vanilla extract• 2 15-ounce cans pumpkin puree*• 2 tablespoons bourbon or other whiskey•

PAN1 9-inch diameter, 3-inch tall springform pan•

DIRECTIONS1 Pulse pecans, fl our, sugar, and crumbs in a food proces-1. sor. Add butter and egg yolk. Pulse until mixture is ho-mogenous. Press into bottom of 9” springform pan and bake for 10 minutes at 375°F. Remove from oven and let cool.Drain or strain any liquid from pumpkin purée. Take 2. pumpkin purée and place on several layers of paper tow-els. Cover with several layers of paper towels and use your hands to gently squeeze out as much liquid as you can from the purée. Not that you will probably go through a lot of paper towels (can use tea towels too). Two 15-ounce cans of puréed pumpkin should yield a little more than 2 cups of purée, with the excess moisture removed. You want exactly 2 cups of the purée.Whisk together the fl our, cinnamon, ground ginger, grated 3. nutmeg, and allspice in a medium bowl. With a wooden spoon (no need for a mixer for this step), mix in the salt, pumpkin purée, vanilla, and bourbon. Beat in the eggs.In a large bowl, (helps to use a mixer for this step) combine 4. the cream cheese and the brown sugar until fully creamed and smooth (no lumps). Gradually add the pumpkin mix-ture until fully incorporated. Bring a kettle of water to a boil.Place crust-baked springform pan in the middle of two 5. layers of large sheets of aluminum foil (to help prevent water-bath moisture from leaking into the pan). Fold the aluminum foil up the sides of the pan and trim. Place the aluminum wrapped pan in a large roasting pan (large enough so that there is room on all sides). Pour the pump-kin cream cheese mixture into the springform pan.Place the roasting pan containing the springform pan in a 6. 325°F oven on the middle rack. Pour boiling water into the pan so that it comes halfway up the side of the springform pan. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. Turn off the oven heat and prop the oven door open. Let the cheesecake sit in the oven, cooling for another hour. Then remove from oven and let come to room temperature. Once it has cooled down, chill for several hours in the refrigerator, preferably overnight.When ready to serve, gently remove the cake from the 7. springform pan. To do this well, I recommend a tip by Dorie Greenspan in her book Baking: From My Home to Yours. To help ensure that the cake doesn’t stick to the springform side as you unlock it, fi rst run a blunt knife around the cake and then warm the sides of the pan with a hair dryer. Then carefully unlock the springform and lift off the sides.

Serve cheesecake with caramel sauce, candied pecans, and whipped cream. Makes 16 servings.

As 2010 draws to a close, many may refl ect on the past year and the New Year’s resolutions made back in January. If ‘help others’ was included on your list of res-olutions, there is still lime to help patients in need by donating blood through the American Red Cross.

“One out of every 10 peo-ple admitted to the hospital needs blood,” said Linda Voss, CEO, of the American Red Cross Blood Services River Valley region. “By taking the time to donate, you can give patients in need more time with their family and friends, and even a second chance at life.”

As the new year ap-proaches, take the time to give blood this month and remember to include ‘do-nate blood’ on your list of resolutions for 2011. Make

an appointment today to make a difference in the lives of others.

I don’t think our kids know what an apron is.

The principal use of Grandma’s apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few and because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons re-quired less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.

It was wonderful for drying children’s tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.

From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be fi nished in the warming oven.

When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids.

And when the weather was cold, Grand-ma wrapped it around her arms.

Those big old aprons wiped many a per-spiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.

Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.

From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables.

After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.

In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.

When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of sec-onds.

When dinner was ready, Grandma walked

out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fi elds to dinner.

It will be a long time before someone in-vents something that will replace that ‘old-time apron’ that served so many purposes.

Send this to those who would know (and love) the story about Grandma’s aprons.

REMEMBER: Grandma used to set her hot baked apple

pies on the window sill to cool. Her grand-daughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw.

They would go crazy now trying to fi gure out how many germs were on that apron.

Can you remember the apron?

needs are always met fi rst, the Red Cross also helps en-sure no patient goes without blood no matter where or when they need it.

By Pam RobinsonSusie Tooley, counselor

at North Posey Junior High School, knows the difference an older peer can make in the life of a junior high school student.

“As we know, many times kids will be more accepting of information coming from older kids, than they are of the same information coming from parents or other adults,” Tooley comments. “I am re-ally excited about starting a Big Brothers Big Sisters

mentoring program between North Posey High School students and our students at North Posey Junior High. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a well-known, research-based program that has proven re-sults. Through the screening process we will identify and accept student-mentors to serve as caring and support-ive role models. I believe that pairing the younger stu-

dents with the older mentors will have a positive impact socially, emotionally, and academically. The mentors will also benefi t by learn-ing how important it is to be involved in community ser-vice. Our facility is perfect for such a program since our high school and junior high are connected. I am eager to get this fantastic program started!” Tooley is donating

her time and talent to match-ing North Posey Junior High students with North Posey High School students as a Big Brother Big Sister pro-gram coordinator in northern Posey County. Her program will be in place after Christ-mas.

Big Brothers and Big Sis-ters at the high school will meet within the school day with their matched Little Brothers and Little Sisters at the junior high to discuss challenges and how to solve them. So far, almost 30 stu-dents have signed up to be mentors.

Sandy Minasian, Program Manager for Big Brother Big Sisters of Ohio Valley is hoping Tooley’s program at North Posey will become a model to community leaders throughout Posey County. Already, a Posey County Community Advisory Coun-cil for a county-wide mentor-ing program is in the process of being formed with Beth Schilling as chair and Kay Kilgore as co-chair. Anyone interested in helping, by be-coming a Big Brother or Big Sister or by generating capi-tal for the project, may attend their next noon lunch meet-ing on Tuesday, December 21, at Western Hills Country Club in Mount Vernon.

Minasian is especially interested in signing up and training Big Brothers and Big Sisters in Posey County to serve as role models for local youth. She has a wait-ing list of young people ask-ing for a Big to guide and spend time with them.

To sign up as a Big Brother or Big Sister in Posey Coun-ty, call Sandy Minasian at 812-425-6076. She can also answer questions about the Posey County Community Advisory Council and take reservations for the Decem-

The Posey Humane SocietyTh e Posey Humane shelter is overfl owing with cats. Th e mild

weather has brought on an active kitt en season. Th e litt ers we are gett ing in have 4-7 kitt ens on the aver-age. Th is means WE NEED SPACE! To help get our older cats placed into good homes, we have special prices for cats 1 year or older for $50.00. Declawed cats usually come into the shelter already spayed/neutered. So

we have a great special on all declawed cats: $25.00 for the fi rst cat and only $10.00 if you adopt a second as a companion! PHS has 10 declawed cats in house. Come by to visit Tyler, Fiona, Ollie, Mischief, Sammy and the others.

What are the advantages of an older cat? Th ey are calmer, but usually still playful. Th ey enjoy a good lap and will make a great gentle companion. Plus we have the advantage of already knowing what their personality will be.

Th is week’s photos include one litt er of our many kitt ens. Th is 12 week old litt er includes a female calico, a brown tabby with white markings and a torbie with white markings. We have kitt ens in all colors!

Sienna is a 4 month old Min-pin/Rat Terrier mix female. She is current on all shots, but still needs to be spayed. She is very lov-ing and energetic, loves to be held.

Cabot is a 5 year old Pomeranian/Sheltie mix male. He is very friendly, knows most commands and is house-broken. While he loves his time out-side to play, he’s very good with crate training and will come in and hope into his crate with no coaxing. Cabot

is fulll-grown and only about 25-30 lbs. He is neutered, up to date on all shots and ready for a new home.

PHS also has a Shepherd mix pup, a Chocolate lab pup, 4 Dachsund mix pups, a Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix adult, and several other adult dogs. Shelter hours are Th ursday - Sunday 12:00 -6:00 or you can call for an appointment on other days at 838-3211.

New Harmony Theatre kicks off the 2011 summer season under new manage-ment. Elliot Wasserman, chair of the University of Southern Indiana Department of Performing Arts, serves as the producing artistic direc-tor, and Angela Torres is the new managing and marketing director. In a move designed to allow more theatre-goers to enjoy New Harmony by day, the Thursday night per-formances are now replaced with Saturday matinees.

Lost in Yonkers, The 39 Steps, and Avenue X will provide a rollercoaster of emotions this summer. “These plays are recent, writ-ten during the last two de-cades. I love the classics, but in my fi rst summer, I wanted to offer our audiences a look at the current theatre, even as we set about charting New Harmony Theatre’s future,” said Wasserman.

New Harmony Theatre will start off the season with Neil Simon’s Pulit-zer Prize winning, Lost in Yonkers. This play was part of a new phase in Simon’s work. While still working in the comedic form, Simon had begun including auto-biographical elements in his work, thereby moving in the direction of emotional hon-esty and sentimental comedy. Seen through the eyes of her two grandsons, a tough old German matriarch rules the little world of her candy store and that of her principal sub-ject, her unmarried daughter Bella. What unfolds include some of the most compelling theatrical moments Simon ever wrote, and a play that garnered four Tony awards and a Drama Desk Award in addition to the Pulitzer. Lost in Yonkers runs June 17-19 and June 24-26.

The 39 Steps, adapted by Patrick Barlow, from the novel by John Buchan, is a rollicking, fast-paced parody of the classic Alfred Hitch-cock fi lm of the 1930’s by the same name. Winner of two Tony awards, it was hailed by Liz Smith of the New York Post as “the most entertaining show on Broad-way.” Writing for the same paper, Clive Barnes called

it “riotous and marvelous.” In a dazzling burst of comic mayhem four actors play 150 roles, reproducing the fast ed-iting and quick scene change quality of fi lm to produce a wild 90 minute ride that car-ries audience and Hitchcock to an absurd new plane. The 39 Steps runs July 8-10 and 15-17.

On the heels of last sea-son’s highly successful Ain’t Misbehavin’, New Harmony Theatre will close the sea-son with Avenue X, concept, book and lyrics by John Jiler, and music and lyrics by Ray Leslee. The musi-cal recalls the early days of doo-wop music. “Before

the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync, young men of the early 60’s in poor neighbor-hoods sang themselves into signifi cance,” said Wasser-man. “They fi lled the air with sweet and soulful harmonies that drew on musical tradi-tions from various ethnic sources. When I fi rst heard this music, it took my breath away, and I was determined to bring it to our stage.” In this powerful story of Italian and African-American youth in 1960s Brooklyn, New Harmony audiences born on both sides of 1960 will fi nd their meeting point in these dazzling a capella tunes. Av-enue X runs July 22-24, July

29-31, and August 5-7.All evening performances

start at 7:30 p.m. and mati-nees begin at 2 p.m. Season tickets are $55 for adults, $50 for students and seniors (60 and over), and $46 for groups of 20 or more. Gift certifi cates are also avail-able for the holiday season. New Harmony Theatre is a professional Equity theatre produced by USI. Plays are performed in the historic Murphy Auditorium located at 419 Tavern Street in New Harmony. For more informa-tion, or to make a purchase, call the box offi ce at 812/465-1635 or 877/NHT-SHOW.

Bring the kids in and they will receive a plastic design-it-yourself mug with three coloring sheets to choose from. Once colored a sheet is inserted into the mug to make a one-of –a-kind Christmas cup. It comes with a gift box, for children who want to make a special gift for someone and a pack-age of Christmas crayons for their coloring delight.

It’s a craft you make at the WMI or take with you to do later. So please join us. Bring the kids in for a “cup of cheer.”

Take a break from the

holiday rush with a good book. New books at the WMI include Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King, Stu-art Wood’s Santa Fe Edge and Hell’s Corner by David Baldacci.

ment. World Book’s Explore the

Universe series helps future astronomers learn about space. These books are great for reports or leisure read-ing.

Finally, the WMI offers the Inventions and Discov-eries series. Did you ever wonder about the history of the toothbrush or how the fi rst farmers planted and har-vested crops? You can fi nd out that and more with this informative series, another resource for school reports.

Students from Mount Vernon and North Posey High Schools attended the Indiana Association of Student Councils State Convention November 13 and 14.

State Sen. Jim Tomes (R-Wadesville) invites area stu-dents to join this year’s holi-day tree-trimming festivities at the Statehouse — either in person or by mail.

“As part of state govern-ment’s celebration of the hol-idays, a very large coniferous tree will soon be placed in the rotunda of the Statehouse,” Tomes said. “Students can

help bring the holiday tree to life by transforming their favorite seasonal memories into ornamental storybooks and visiting our state’s capi-tol to help trim the tree.”

First Lady Cheri Daniels is spearheading the student decoration drive, “Holi-day Tales from the Heart,” Tomes said.

Tomes is joining Dan-iels in promoting creativity and literacy by encouraging Hoosier students of all ages to create decorations and by writing about their favorite “Christmas memories” in tiny handcrafted books.

Submitted storybook or-naments will be hung on the Statehouse tree at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 14. Selected stories will be featured on Daniels’ website at www.in.gov/gov/fi rstlady.

“I hope schools in our area participate in this fun project combining art with writing,” Tomes said.

Tomes said certain guide-lines should be followed when constructing books:

Decorations should be no larger than 8 inches square;

Decorations may contain short stories of up to 300 words;

Decorations should be made out of non-breakable or non-perishable materials like construction paper, poster board, pipe cleaners, wood, yarn and photographs;

Decorations should have hooks or fasteners attached; and

Decorations should be la-beled with names of students and their schools.

“The majestic Statehouse and this enormous, donated pine provide our art teach-ers an historic opportunity to display both the talent of their students and their spirit of the season,” Tomes said. “Because of the size of our Statehouse tree, thousands of ornaments are needed by the

Statehouse Tour Offi ce to fi ll its branches during the Dec. 14 trimming celebration.”

Mail or deliver decora-tions to the Statehouse Tour Offi ce located at 200 W. Washington St., Room 220, Indianapolis, IN, 46204. Please keep in mind story-book ornaments will not be returned.

Students and faculty are invited to join the Dec. 14 festivities that will include a visit from the First Lady, special holiday music and a book collection hosted by the Indianapolis Colts.

Educators may call 317-233-5293 to participate.

“Hopefully, local young people can help trim the Statehouse tree with their fondest memories,” Tomes said. “I look forward to this joyous season and seeing this beautiful tree showcas-ing the artistic creativity and writing skills of our Hoosier students.”

Sen. Jim Tomes invites students to craft ornaments for Statehouse

Several local students will be taking part next week in the University of Evansville's annual Holi-day Pops Concert.

The concert, which is held annually by the UE Department of Music, will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tues-day, December 7. Doors to the Victory Theatre in

Downtown Evansville will open for the performance at 7 p.m. Attendance is free, and open to the public.

Among the local students participating will be: Jason Salo, of Evansville, Ind. and Timothy Woolston, of Poseyville, Ind.

"The Holiday Pops Con-cert is one of the most an-ticipated performances put on by the UE Department of Music every year," said Department Chair Thomas Josenhans. "Because of talented young musicians like those performing in this year's concert, mem-bers of the community al-ways fi nd a festive celebra-tion of holiday music that leaves them excited for the coming holiday season!"

Local students to perform in UE's Holiday Pops Concert

By Pam RobinsonMount Vernon’s newest business, Schneider and Evans,

starts and ends with S—standing for service from start to fi nish for their accounting clients. Both certifi ed public accountants, or CPAs, Marcia Schneider and Irene Evans bring nearly 50 years of combined experience to serve the needs of Posey County residents and businesses.

Tomorrow, they move into their offi ce, the former Road-house Barbecue located at 833 E. 4th Street (next to Haw-thorne Animal Clinic) and plan a holiday grand opening for the public around the middle of December. Regular offi ce hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with additional hours set up by appointment to cover early morning, evening and Saturday meetings. The offi ce is open year round.

“We realize most people can’t take off work to have their taxes done,” Evans says, “so we offer fl exibility with our scheduling.”

A Mount Vernon native, Schneider graduated from Mount Vernon High School and then earned her B.A. in accounting from the University of Southern Indiana. She became her own employer a little over a year ago and has an established accounting business in her New Harmony home. The Mount Vernon offi ce of Schneider and Evans allows her to expand into the southern end of the county and to partner with Evans, who wanted accounting work, to truly cover all of Posey County.

Evans, a long-time Mount Vernon resident, graduated with the B.A. from Boston University and the M.B.A. from Union College in Schenectady, New York. Previously, she has worked for large national and smaller fi rms. She is fa-miliar to seniors through her volunteer work with AARP, preparing seasonal tax returns.

The partners’ experience complements one another with Schneider managing the offi ce and payroll accounts and Evans handling more of the public accounting. Since they also share the same work ethic for doing the job accurate-ly, they can make sure customer service remains number

one.The two laugh when asked how a former barbecue joint

has become an offi ce for accountants. “People will just have to come in and see for themselves,” Evans says.

Clients may guess the inside has been updated to be as modern and “user-friendly” as the outside. The parking lot and building entry are fl at and handicapped accessible. A drop slot in the outside door allows clients to drop off in-formation securely since it falls safely inside the building.

Schneider and Evans want to accommodate businesses as well as individuals. “People need accounting advice year round,” Schneider states. “Tax rules and accounting regulations have become so complicated now.”

Just as most individuals need help with their tax returns, so many businesses need help with their payroll. Outsourc-ing work to Schneider and Evans provides businesses with an accurate, cost-effective accounting solution without burdening a permanent employee.

If Schneider and Evans can’t immediately give the an-swers to questions in an accounting specialty, they will fi nd the answers. “Nobody can know everything,” Sch-neider comments. So she and Evans have developed a relationship with a large Evansville accounting fi rm that will direct them during these times. Schneider emphasizes that this arrangement keeps costs down. “We can refer to a specialist when necessary without keeping one on staff,” she explains.

Family-oriented, Schneider and Evans both have been active community volunteers through their church work alone—Schneider at First United Methodist Church in Mount Vernon and Evans at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Mount Vernon. Schneider has three grown children: a son and a daughter at the University of Evansville and an-other daughter in the Army. Evans has a daughter at Indi-ana University and a son at Mount Vernon High School keeping time with the Marching Wildcats.

New ‘customer-friendly’ accounting fi rm opens door in Mount Vernon

By Dave PearceThe answer was in the cards for the North

Posey Vikings on Saturday evening…the wild card.

During a preseason interview, Wadsworth had indicated that senior Cameron Calvert had suffered a shoulder injury last season and a shattered fi nger during this year’s football season and he was uncertain as to what to ex-pect from the bulky senior. He got as much or more than he expected as Calvert scored 15 points and grabbed a dozen rebounds in about three quarters of action.

“He’s a wild card coming off the bench right now,” Wadsworth said with a smile. “But tonight, he was like our ace in the hole.”

The Vikings led at the end of only one of four quarters on Friday night in the season opener against Evansville North. But that was the only one that really mattered as the Vikings rallied from a 40-30 defi cit with fi ve minutes remaining in the third period to de-feat the Huskies 57-56.

It was somewhat unlikely that the Vikings would win the game on a free throw. They hit only 12-of-23 attempts in the game. But with 55 seconds remaining and the game tied at 56, North had the ball and appeared to be holding for the fi nal shot. With 13 seconds re-maining, the Huskies called time out to set up what could have been the game-winning bas-ket. But Nick Scheller got in the was of the Huskies’ victory party as he stripped the ball from a North guard headed down the paint and with 1.9 seconds remaining, the immedi-ate response from North was a foul.

The senior sharpshooter calmly stepped to the line and hit the fi rst shot. As North ap-peared to be content and wait for Scheller to hit the second and they would have a fi nal chance, Scheller and Wadsworth had some-thing else in mind.

As Scheller began his free throw shooting motion, Wadsworth yelled from the bench “miss it, miss it” and the senior got the mes-sage loud and clear. He fi red the ball at the front of the rim and dove for the rebound. As the buzzer sounded, Scheller was on the fl oor with his own rebound in his hands.

“Winning is a habit we want to have,” head

coach Matt Wadsworth said following the ex-citing ending of the season opener for both teams. “Winning is a mindset and a confi -dence that we want to have where we expect to win no matter who we play.”

But the Vikings did not make it easy on themselves. But then neither did a much-im-proved North squad playing their fi rst game under a new head coach and on the road. The Huskies burned the Viking defense for 10 3-point shots to account for 30 of their 56 points.

“As a coach, you have to think that a team will probably not hit more than 50 percent of their 3-point shots for an entire game,” Wad-sworth said with a chuckle. “You had to think that the law of percentages would eventually have to tip in our favor.”

As a matter of fact, midway through the third quarter it appeared that the Huskies were going to have the upper hand all the way through. But the Vikings used experi-ence and the home crowd to fi nally pull even about a minute into the fourth quarter.

“There is a big transition between practice and a game situation,” Wadsworth said. “I think it took us awhile to make that transition tonight. We were a little slow to adjust.”

Trailing 40-30 and North with ball posses-sion, senior guard Dillon Davenport got a steal and drove to the basket to pull the Vikings to within 40-32. Then, after a North miss, the ball went in to senior Cameron Calvert who showed huge improvement over last season. The senior drove the baseline against a much larger defense and got the bucket. Then fol-lowing another North miss, Nick Scheller hit the second of two free throws to pull the Vi-kings to within 40-35.

But North quickly responded with a 3-pointer to go up by eight again. But again it was Calvert who would answer as he again went inside on a pass from Davenport and came up with a big old-fashioned 3-point play to match North’s three. That was the point where Wadsworth felt the momentum may have fi nally swung in favor of his Vi-kings.

Davenport then scored on a drive after

By Steve Joos Two Rappites hit double fi gures Saturday,

as New Harmony whacked Norris City-Omaha-Enfi eld 58-40 to take fi fth place in the annual Grayville Invitational Tourna-ment. The Rappites routed Clay City-Noble 85-52 on Friday.

The New Harmony boys’ basketball team fi nished fi fi th in last week’s Grayville Thanksgiving tournament.

Oh, but how did they get there.The Rappites started the week with a close

win, suffered a one-sided loss to the eventual tournament runner-up and then snapped back to roll over two other teams to fi nish fi fth. Evansville Day School dominated the fi eld to take the tourney title.

New Harmony’s wins followed a 73-53 loss to Galatia on Tuesday and a 60-57 win over Edwards County in the tourney opener.

Andrew McDaniel scored 17 points and Blayne Worman added 15 as the Rappites outscored NCOE 16-5 in the second quarter to break things open.

It was 16-13 New Harmony when the Rap-pites broke things open, stretching the mar-gin to 32-18 at halftime. It was 40-27 after three chapters.

McDaniel cleared 11 rebounds against the Cardinals for his fourth double-double in as many games. For the tourney, the big senior

averaged 24 points and 13 boards per game, while picking up three charges to boot.

The Rappites completed the tourney with a 3-1 record (only the second time New Har-mony has accomplished that since 1993) and beat the Fighting Cardinals for just the sec-ond time in the past 17 seasons.

Not a bad way for new coach Jim Little to start his career in Posey County.

“It was a nice tourney,” Little said. “An-drew McDaniel led the way with four double-doubles, Blayne Worman averaged 15 points a game and Kris Scarafi a had 26 assists and 23 defl ections on the weekend. Levi Hoehn and Kyle Whitmore had several big games to help the team. Good job boys.”

Whitmore capped a week where he started to step up, as he and Scarafi a each dropped in eight points. Hoehn added six points and Drew Mathews four as New Harmony knocked down 23 of 26 free throws enroute to the win, fi fth place in the tourney and a 3-1 record on the season.

Kody Sutton paced the Cardinals with 13 points.

New Harmony, Edwards County and Gala-tia each fi nished pool play Friday with iden-tical 3-1 records. Under tournament rules, point differential served as a tie-breaker and since Little didn’t want his team running up the score on Clay City-Noble, the Rappites

wound up playing for fi fth on Saturday.Little may have called off the hounds, but

not before four Rappites hit double fi gures against the Wolves.

McDaniel struck again, with 27 points and

15 caroms, while Worman was right behind with 14 tallies, but it was Whitmore who had the big blow, draining three straight three-

By Dave PearceNorth Posey Coach Tracy

Stroud could fi nd very little positive to say about his team’s play during their 55-47 loss this week to Cen-tral. The Lady Vikings, who opened their season with a loss at Mount Vernon and played better against top-ranked Vincennes Rivet, took a step backwards in the coach’s eyes against Central.

The Lady Vikings seemed to have things moving in the right direction against Central as they led 10-9 and 22-19 at the fi rst two stops. Still, their play was spotty and what caught the coach’s attention more than anything was their lack of making good decisions.

“When you come out and play like we did, you don’t deserve to win,” Stroud said following the game. “We got exactly what we deserved.”

While the Lady Vikings were able to get some open looks at the basket, the shots that had fallen in the fi rst couple of games simply were not going down against Cen-tral. Lack of an inside pres-ence further hampered the team’s efforts and put even more pressure on the team’s guards.

“We just don’t have any-one who is stepping up in the post,” Stroud said. “They tore us up in the post and we weren’t even blocking out and rebounding when we have the inside position on free throws.”

The Lady Vikings rode the aggressive offensive play of senior guard Nichole Perry

to stay in the game but even Perry’s game was not what fans are accustomed to see-ing. While the fl eet-footed, hard-playing guard played her usual game, her shots were not fouling. And if opposing teams have learned anything watching game fi lms of the Vikings, they know that ev-eryone must constantly be aware of Perry’s position on the fl oor. That’s where team-mates must step up and help relieve some of the pressure. So far, and especially against Central, the help did not come.

But offense was not the only end of the fl oor where Stroud was disappointed.

“We played defense all night standing straight up,” Stroud said. “We don’t have anyone who will take a stance and stop a drive. They just dribbled around us and we had to foul. Our post play and our defense was just hor-rendous.”

In the early going, the Vi-kings were able to take ad-vantage of Central’s diffi cul-ties hitting the basket. But as the game wore on, especially in the third quarter, Central began taking advantage of what North Posey’s defense allowed and got several open looks. The Lady Bears hit their free throws down the stretch as well. All that led to an 0-3 start for North Posey, something that has Stroud very concerned.

“We can’t be looking ahead and trying to see what we can do against other teams right now until we start play-ing well ourselves,” Stroud

said. “We just made some poor decisions all night long. We had teammates open out on the wing and we didn’t pass to them. Then when we managed to get some steals or turnovers, we didn’t look to pass to open teammates down the fl oor. At this mo-ment, I think I am more dis-appointed with this loss than any other I have had since I started coaching here. We just really played awful.”

If there were any bright spots, it was the play of some of the younger players. With Lisa Garris going to the bench in foul trouble and ju-nior guard Morgan Stierley in foul trouble most of the night, Stroud was forced to go deep on his bench. As a matter of fact, two or three freshmen saw signifi cant playing time. While that might help down the road, it doesn’t do too much for the team’s current situation.

“Yes, these older players need to watch out because we’re not going to tell juniors and seniors the same things over and over,” Stroud said of the younger members of the team.

Stroud said he was dis-appointed most because he felt his team took a huge step backwards in the game against Central.

“We played Mount Ver-non and did some things wrong and it looked like we had corrected some of those mistakes against a very good Vincennes Rivet team,” Stroud said. “But we jumped about 10 steps back tonight.”

Stroud said he was taking nothing away from Central’s team or effort as they did not let the North Posey defense rattle them and they remained focused.

“They have a well-coached team and they did the things they had to do to win,” Stroud said. “They hit their free throws and did smart things to do what they had to do to win. And it seemed like we did dumb things that helped put them in that position.”

While Stroud found very little to be happy about in the loss, he will get little reprieve as the Vikings will next face an improved Wood Memo-rial squad at Wood Memorial tonight (Tuesday).

Perry led the team with 21 points hitting fi ve fi eld goals and 11-of-12 free throws. Her senior runningmate at guard, Katelyn Esche, was the only other Viking in double fi g-ures as she had a pair of fi eld goals and 6-of-7 free throws.

Kendall Ahrens had fi ve points while Haley Harness and Lisa Garris had four apiece. Caitlin Herrman add-ed a fi eld goal. The Bears put three players in double fi g-ures as Tyshika Tapp led the team with 18. Danelle Turner and Cassis Gilham added 11 apiece.

The reserves won their game defeating Central 29-16.

other North 3-point attempt but North an-swered again with a three. Davenport then drove the lane for another basket and with 40 seconds remaining in the third period, again Calvert would go inside and score the bas-ket and was fouled. The Vikings had pulled to within two and North held the ball for the fi nal shot of the period. They missed and the Vikings fi nally tied the game on the fi rst bas-ket of the fourth quarter, a Calvert to Scheller feed with seven minutes remaining in the game.

“Every team you have is different and you have to adjust to your personnel,” Wadsworth said. “You can’t put a price on the fact that people like Colton Motz played only two minutes but he had a 2-point bucket and all the guys have to buy into the philosophy that the time they are in, they are going to make the best it can be regardless of how long they are in, we are going to be a pretty good team.”

From the 46-all mark, the teams traded baskets. North Posey’s largest lead came at the 53-49 mark and again at the 55-51 mark. The Vikings missed a pair of free throws with 55 seconds remaining after North had tied the

game at 56-all.“It takes the football guys a little while to

come around this soon after football,” Wads-worth explained the misses.

North led 18-12 at the fi rst quarter stop and trailed at half-time by a count of 34-26. They trailed 46-44 at the end of three.

“They had a lot of adrenalin there at the be-ginning of the game because North is a young team with a new coach and playing their fi rst game on the road,” Wadsworth said. “It could have been an advantage for us to catch them now instead of in January. They are very much improved and are going to get better as the year goes on. They will be competing with anyone in Evansville before the year is over.”

Davenport fi nished with 20 to lead the way for the Vikings while Calvert had 15 and Scheller 14. Jourdan Cox fi nished with four while Motz and Eric Wargel fi nished with two points each.

The Vikings will now prepare for another improved experienced squad in Mount Ver-non, playing their fi rst season under former assistant coach Gary Wilsey. That game will be Friday night in Mount Vernon.

three-pointers to break things open in the third quarter. The sophomore guard torched the Wolves for 11 points, while Hoehn put in 12 points and grabbed six boards. Scara-fi a scored eight points to go along with nine assists.

The Galatia Bearcats have a very good team and Denton Reed is a very good player.

Did the Rappites ever learn that Tuesday night.

Reed poured in 34 points as four Bearcats hit double fi gures in a 73-53 romp over New Harmony in the sec-ond round of the Grayville Thanksgiving Tournament.

“Galatia has a good ball club,” Little said. “Den-ton Reed is the real deal. If there is a Division I player in this tournament, he’s one of them. McDaniel’s right be-hind him.”

The Bearcats were setting screens and the Rappites weren’t doing a good job of switching and talking. There may have also been some fatigue on New Harmony’s part after a hard-fought win over Edwards County in the nightcap of the tourney’s fi rst round, Little added, some-thing the coach was con-cerned about.

New Harmony made some adjustments at halftime, but the Rappites were already down 35-20 by then and the Bearcats opened the second half by reeling off eight un-answered points to make the score 43-20.

From that point on, the Rappites were out of the game, but Little didn’t stop coaching and New Harmony was able to make things a bit more respectable in the fi nal chapter, outscoring Galatia 14-7 over the last fi ve min-utes of the game.

Reed stayed in the game until the last two minutes as Reed took a shot at the single-game scoring record, which he fell short of.

“I made them run an of-fense,” Little said. “I said, I don’t care what the score

ends up after we were down (the Bearcats’ biggest margin of the night was 29 points at 58-29 late in the third quar-ter). We got some kids in and I kind of had some fun with that and we were able to turn some things around.”

Indeed they did. The Bearcats were well in com-mand at the third stop, but the Rappites scored the last fi ve points of the quarter.

Things seemed to get away from New Harmony after the Rappites forged a 9-9 tie on a bucket by McDaniel with 3:25 to go in the opening chapter, but Galatia prompt-ly went on a 9-0 run and never looked back. A bucket by Worman and McDan-iel’s charity toss pulled the Rappites back to within six points, but that was as close as New Harmony would get.

“It was a missed shot or block out here, a stripped ball there, no offensive re-bounding here,” the coach said. “They took advantage of every little mistake.”

And Reed didn’t miss ear-ly, elevating off the screen in a way that reminded Little of former Tecumseh standout Craig Oxley.

The coach was pleased with the way the Rappites wanted to keep battling and the way they tried to make things closer.

And when Reed was start-ing things, that opened things up for some other Bearcats, as Kody Tennison put in 15 points, Clayton Baggett 14 and Tyler McCormick 10.

McDaniel had another double-double for the Rap-pites, scoring 23 points. Wor-man added 12, Whitmore seven and Hahn fi ve. Scara-fi a and Matthews each put in two points.

Scarafi a had some steals, while Whitmore pilfered the ball six times. Elliott Lange got in and also played well, Little added.

But Galatia had Reed. Little also said that the

Rappites may have been a bit tired after pulling out a 60-57 win over Edwards County in the tourney opener.

“Heck of a way to start my coaching career, isn’t it?” Little said after the Rappites built a 10-point lead, then let

it get away and had to rally from a fi ve point defi cit by scoring the last eight points of the game. “The kids re-ally stepped it up. I mean we were nervous, this was our fi rst time and we showed that we can overcome that.”

One thing that did concern the coach was a lack of of-fensive balance on the part of his team. McDaniel and Worman outscored the Lions almost single-handedly as they combined for 50 points. Scarafi a did clear nine re-bounds and had four assists, while defl ecting a number of Edwards County shots.

Of course, McDaniel was almost automatic, scoring 30 points and clearing 11 re-bounds to lead all scorers.

“I love double-doubles,” Little said. “And how about that sophomore (Whitmore) at the end? I’m proud of the kids. We’re not running the things we’ve worked on in practice, but once we get over the nerves and they get the hang of what we want, we should do some good things.”

McDaniel pumped in the fi rst four points of the third quarter to give the Rappites a 35-25 advantage, but it was a turnaround jumper by Wor-man with four and one-half seconds left in the game that put New Harmony in front, as ECHS took advantage of some missed shots and a slow-to-respond Rappite de-fense to convert that 10-point defi cit into a 57-52 lead with 58.2 seconds to play.

The Rappites woke up just in time, on both sides of the ball.

After getting possession on a jump ball, Worman drained a three-pointer, clos-ing the gap to two points at 57-55. The Lions couldn’t convert on their end of the fl oor, New Harmony got the rebound and McDaniel (who else?) drew a foul. The senior forward put in both charity tosses, tying the game at 57-57 with 27.6 seconds to go.

After stopping the Lions again, the Rappites came down and Worman found himself open.

“We had a seal play,” Little explained. “Andrew was go-ing to pass the ball and cut.

Well, they took that away and Blayne was off in the corner. We ran that same play again late. We had some things set up on the inside. We had s sophomore on the inside who wasn’t set up there in practice and he wasn’t sure what to do.”

So he got the ball to Worman, who stuck in a turnaround jumper for the go-ahead points. Edwards County tried to bring the ball down court, but Whitmore got in the way and stole it. He drew a foul and hit one of two free throws to help nail down the win.

The Rappites held a 17-11 lead after the fi rst quarter as McDaniel and Worman hit back-to-back three-pointers after Jacob Spear gave the Lions an early lead with the fi rst bucket of the game.

It was 31-25 at halftime and 35-25 before the Rap-pites starting taking some wild shots and the Lions started putting in some layups.

The 10-point advantage was sliced to two at the break, 43-41. New Harmony was able to stretch it back to six points at 49-43 midway thought the fourth quarter, but ECHS went on a 14-3 run over the next three min-utes to take that fi ve-point lead.

“We fell asleep on tran-sition,” Little ssaid. “But you know what? When we looked up there at the end of the game, when we win, that’s key.”

Worman backed up Mc-Daniel with 20 points, while Hoehn put in fi ve. Mathews and Scarafi a each added two points, while Whitmore scored one.

Mitch Lear led the Lions with 14 points, while Bran-don Harris added 12, all from the fl oor.

And the Rappites won. Three times, in fact.

Future New Harmony foe day school came out of the other pool to claim the Gray-ville tourney crowns with a 53-34 win over Galatia Sat-urday night. ECHS edged Cisne 58-56 for third place, while the host Bison took seventh place with a 58-49 win over Clay City.

By Steve JoosThe girls did a good job

and the boys swam very well, with some breakout performances.

All of which made the fi nal scores for the Mount Vernon boys’ and girls’ swim teams at Saturday’s Terre Haute North four-way dual meet a little mislead-ing.

Both teams were missing key swimmers as Mount Vernon split its boys’ meets, beating West Lafayette 100-86, and Terre Haute North 124-59, while losing to Lawrence North 101-84 and Jeffersonville 121-65, then went 3-0-1 in the girls’ meets, tying Lawrence North 93-93, while beating Jeffersonville 132-54, Terre Haute North 124-62 and West Lafayette 124-62.

“The girls had a good meet,” coach Larry Zoller

said. “They didn’t swim as well as they did (at their in-vitational), but they swam well.”

The pool at Terre Haute North is smaller, with some shallow areas and a shot from water jets going at times. That complicated things a bit for the Mount Vernon swimmers, but they still got in a few very good performances.

In the girls’ meet, Erica McCormick and Kelsey Turner were double winners, with McCormick beating a pool record set by a former state champion (Michelle McKeon of Center Grove) while winning the 200-yard individual medley in 2:13.51 and the 100-breaststroke (1:06.25), where she went 1-2 with Mary Klueh. Turn-er took the 100-backstroke in 1:00.82, and the 500-freestyle (5:17.61). They

also teamed with Klueh and Kasey Gerst to win the 200-medley relay in 1:54.12. Turner and Gerst teamed up with Melissa Lara and Amy Steele to take the 400-free-style relay (3:52.37).

Both teams were without a swimmer, each of whom could have helped Mount Vernon in their respective meets. Molly Reynolds missed the girls’ meet with an illness, while Jordan Wooten had to sit out the boys’ meet.

Zoller said that not having Reynolds may have kept the Lady Wet Cats from beating Lawrence North and sweep-ing that four-way, while not having Wooten could have helped against Lawrence North.

The stronger boys’ team made its debut Saturday and while the Wet Cats brought home just one blue ribbon

(Reid Mobley with a :56.63 in the 100-backstroke), there were several personal best performances that Zoller highlighted.

“The boys had a fantastic meet,” Zoller said. “Nicho-las Loehr had a personal best time in the 200-freestyle and the 500-freestyle, Jake Poole reached personal bests in the 100-butterlfy and the 200-freesytle. All the boys had a great meet. Darren Turpin, Kevin Moore, Kyle Duck-worth all swam well, so did Sage Irons. All the boys swam ell, but Nicholas and Jake had very good meets.”

The Wet Cats also got good efforts from their div-ers, with Kyle Smith fi nish-ing third.

This was the boys’ fi rst meet of the season and Zoller said that they showed a lot of promise for the sea-son.

MOUNT VERNON AUTO PARTS

By Steve JoosThe New Harmony girls’

basketball team salvaged one win from the Edwards County Thanksgiving tour-nament--and it proved to be their fi rst win of the season.

Kendall Morris scored 15 points and Madison Worman put in 10 as the Lady Rap-pites stopped the host Lady Lions 41-30.

Earlier in the week, the Lady Rappites were throttled by Woodlawn 49-17 in the second round of the tourney.

Although she was pleased with the win, Lady Rappites’ coach Jennifer Toopes was not that happy with the way her team played.

“We seemed to be in slow motion,” Toopes said. “This was not our best effort, but we did get our fi rst win of the season.”

With the Rappite boys off to a 3-1 start, a winless re-cord heading into the fi nals at ECHS put some added pressure on the girls, Toopes explained.

The Lady Rappites got their only win of last year’s ECHS invitational against the hosts and that may have made them a bit overcon-fi dent heading into Satur-day’s game, according to the coach. As a result, they weren’t always playing well and were prone to turnovers. The turnovers really hurt in the second quarter, when a 12-3 lead after the fi rst chap-ter was melted down to 19-14 at halftime

The Lady Rappites re-gained their footing in the third quarter and stretched the lead out to 30-19, as two key Lady Lions ran into foul trouble.

Another big adjustment was moving Morris from the inside to point guard, where she was able to help with her quickness and her jump shot, Toopes explained.

Kelsey Owen and Morgan Matthews each put in eight points for New Harmony.

Free throw shooting was another concern, as New Harmony hit just 12 of 25 from the charity stripe, but the Lady Rappites still notched the win.

Ashlyn Garner put in 14 points to paced the Lady Li-ons, while Twyla Reid added 11.

What can be said after last week’s game between New Harmony and Woodlawn?

“You can’t win many games scoring just 17 points,” was one of the things Toopes said after the Lady Rappites were routed by the Lady Cardinals 49-17 in the second round of the Edwards County Thanksgiv-ing Tournament.

The Lady Rappites couldn’t handle Woodlawn’s press as they were outscored 27-6 in the second half. Three was a running clock for the last 4:21 of the con-test after the Lady Cardinals went up 45-15.

After a fairly close fi rst quarter where Woodlawn led 9-5, the Lady Cardinals scored six unanswered points and jumped out to a 15-5 lead before Worman drove to the bucket for a layup and New Harmony’s fi rst points of the second quarter.

An 18-footer by Owen and two Morris free throws were the only other points the Lady Rappites could muster as they went to the locker room trailing 22-11 at halftime,

“I’m having a problem with my guard rotation

to give my girls a break,” Toopes said. “As soon as a I think we have four girls go-ing into three spots, one of them gets in foul trouble, so then we don’t have any kind of rotation.”

If that wasn’t enough, the girl who was supposed to be handling the ball was having trouble doing that and they couldn’t get any plays set and the team committed too many turnovers.

Woodlawn’s pressure was too much for the younger Lady Rappite guards to han-dle as well, the coach said.

The Lady Cardinals’ out-side shooters bothered the Lady Rappites, especially Alexa Capps, who outscored New Harmony by herself with a game-high 18 points, duplicating her efforts from the 2009 ECHS invite game.

The Lady Cardinals scored the fi rst fi ve points of the third quarter and tacked on another 10 unanswered tallies after Worman put in New Harmony’s fi rst bucket of the period. The Lady Rap-pites managed one other bas-ket and trailed 39-15 enter-ing the fourth quarter. Winter Nelson’s 18-footer with 2:42 left in the game were the only Lady Rappite points in the fourth quarter.

“The fi rst three weeks of practice, we were setting up

plays and kind of having the girls learn what was going on,” Toopes said. “Now we need to slow down and see what our weaknesses are and see what each girl’s skills are. Tonight, I think we took a step back.”

Mathews was moved out and wasn’t quick enough to avoid foul trouble, while the other girls were trying to get in position on the inside and were drawing number of over and back calls. Wood-lawn’s more aggressive post players were hampering the Lady Rappites on the inside.

Morris paced New Har-

mony with fi ve points, while Worman and Mathews each added four. Nelson and Owen chipped in two each.

Mallory Hapmann added 14 points for Woodlawn.

The Lady Rappites and their coach are trying to learn a few things, Toopes said.

“The girls need to learn how to win,” the coach said. “They don’t know how to win, but I’m confi dent that they’ll get there.”

As for Toopes, she has to learn about the teams on the Lady Rappites’ schedule, many of which she’s never heard of.

By Steve JoosThe Turkey Classic was a classic as far as

the Mount Vernon wrestling team was con-cerned.

Five Wildcat grapplers were undefeated as the Cats fi nished second in the two-day, 11-team event, fi nishing with a 7-1 record.

The Cats rolled through the fi rst day of ac-tion Friday, berating Harrison 63-12, Tell City

60-18, Tecumseh 77-0 and North 62-18.Saturday started out well for the Cats, as

they nailed South Spencer 57-21 in the fi rst meet of the day before suffering their fi rst (and only) loss, a 45-33 decision at the hands of the eventual undefeated tourney champs from Gibson Southern.

Mount Vernon snapped back to dominate Pike Central 53-27 and Wood Memorial 64-

15.Four of the fi ve perfect Cats roared through

the middle weight classes, as 130-pounder Jon Hoehn ran the table, as well as Andrew Konrath (135), Jordan Dallas (145) and Blake Marshall (152). Heavyweight Teddy O’Connell also went 8-0 on the day.

Evansville Central was third in the tour-nament, posting a 6-2 record, fi nishing just

ahead of North (6-3). Harrison and South Spencer tied for fi fth, each with a 5-3 re-cord, followed by Tell City (4-4), Forest Park (3-5), Pike Central (2-6), Tecumseh (0-8) and Wood Memorial (0-9).

The Cats will take an 8-1 record into this weekend’s six-team dual meet. They opened the season early last week by shutting out visiting Bosse 81-0.
