By Dave PearceAn investigation by Indiana

Secretary of State Connie Law-son’s Prosecution Assistance Unit (PAU) led to the fi ling of criminal charges by Posey County Prosecu-tor Travis Clowers against John M. Shamo of Evansville. He was ar-rested late last night for allegedly selling unregistered investments in oil wells. Shamo is charged with selling the investments in Posey County, Indiana and Jefferson County, Illinois through his com-pany Hopper Resources, Inc.

“Gas and oil schemes are some of the most common forms of in-vestment fraud that come across my desk,” said Secretary of State Connie Lawson. “I hope this case serves as a reminder to check with

my offi ce to ensure the investment is registered before investing.

“I would also like to thank (Posey County) Prosecutor (Tra-vis) Clowers for his work,” Law-son said. “This arrest would not be possible without him.”

Shamo solicited more than $134,000 from three brothers in Posey County who owned the land where the oil wells are located. He told them he would use the money to create an investment opportu-nity and guaranteed it would pro-duce a profi t.

Instead of using the money as promised to his clients, Shamo used the money for his personal gain. Prosecutor Clowers fi led charges focused on Shamo’s deceit of the three brothers, but investiga-

tors believe there may be as many as 17 other victims in the Posey County area.

“I would like to thank the Sec-retary of State Connie Lawson, Investigator Charles Williams, and Attorney Diana Moers for their investigation which ultimately lead to the arrest of John Shamo,” said Travis Clower, Posey County Prosecutor. “The Honorable Judge Redwine of the Posey County Cir-cuit Court reviewed charges and set a $1.2 million professional bond or 120,000 cash for Shamo.”

This is still an ongoing investi-gation. The counts described are allegations. Shamo is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Sha-mo remains lodged in the Posey County Jail.

By Valerie WerkmeisterPoseyville’s new town hall is

in the fi nal completion stages and Poseyville Town Council mem-bers are anxious to show it off. A special open house and dedication ceremony has been planned for Saturday, April 27, from 2 p.m.- 4 p.m. The public is welcome to come and view the new facility and enjoy some refreshments.

“We are very excited about this great addition to the town,” coun-cil president Bruce Baker said.

In other business, Town Mar-shall Doug Saltzman asked for council members’ input regarding the use of prisoners for community service projects within the town. The council was enthusiastic about the idea and advised Saltzman to coordinate projects with town em-ployee, Ken Gorbett.

By Valerie WerkmeisterFeuding neighbors aired animal

nuisance complaints to Cynthi-ana Town Board members during last Tuesday’s, April 9, meeting. Courtney Wathen fi led a complaint against her neighbors, Rick and Tara Davis, claiming the Davis’ dogs’ constant barking was a nuisance. She also complained about the odor from rabbit fecal matter in the Da-vis’ pole barn.

The Davis’ contended the barn is cleaned each week and the smell is not bothersome. The Davis’ felt the complaint was retaliatory due to a lawsuit the Davis’ fi led against Wathen over the death of their dog. The two parties exchanged barbs re-garding the lawsuit until they were instructed by town board members to discuss the matter in court.

Board members discussed wheth-er the county’s nuisance ordinance would be applicable with town at-torney, Jeff Ahlers. He advised he would need to review the most re-cent ordinance update to determine if the Davis’ are out of compliance.

The Davis’ invited town board members to inspect the property fol-lowing the meeting to determine if an offensive rabbit droppings’ smell existed and if it warranted a viola-tion under a nuisance ordinance.

Board members determined prop-erty complaints fi led against Laura Johnson at 10226 Evansville Street and Terry Penner at 10237 Evans-ville Street had been resolved. Both parties cleaned up the outside of their property and it was satisfactory to the board.

Special to the NewsOn April 10, 2013, Lillian E.

Vaughn appeared before the Hon-orable Judge Redwine in the Posey County Circuit Court in Cause no. 65C01-1210-FA-473 for plea and sentencing. Vaughn pled guilty to Two (2) counts of dealing, the fi rst for dealing methamphetamine, the second was for dealing Oxyco-done, a prescription pain medica-tion. Vaughn was sentenced to (12) years of prison on each count, with the counts to run concurrent.

Vaughn’s charges stemmed from

a long term investigation conduct-ed by the Posey County Narcotic’s Unit. The investigation, called “Operation Fair Warning”, culmi-nated in the arrest of over 30 indi-viduals last fall.

Travis Clowers, Posey County Prosecutor, stated, “I would like to thank the Narcotics Unit for a very thorough investigation; their work lead to a very strong case and a lengthy prison sentence. This is an-other example of my offi ce’s con-tinued fi ght against drug dealing in Posey County.”

He enjoyed his family and his kids sporting events and graduated from North Posey High School in 1984.

Surviving him is his wife of 21 years: Julie (An-dry); two sons: Cody and Logan Ungetheim; daughter: Rachel Ungetheim; mom: Joyce (Erbacher) and step-father: Bill Rogers of Poseyville, Ind.; dad: Bob and step-mother: Linda Ungetheim of Evansville, Ind.; sis-ter: Kim (Kevin) Wassmer of Poseyville, Ind.; mother-in-law: Sharon (Bill) York of New Harmony, Ind.; fa-ther-in-law: Ken (Monica) Andry of The Villages, Fla.; sister-in-law: Jen (Ryan) Brown of Indianapolis, Ind.; three nieces: Jordan and Taylor Wassmer and Reagan Brown; two nephews: Caleb Wassmer and Bryce Allen; as well as aunts, uncles and cousins.

A new stop sign on Fletchall Street will be re-moved as it is causing more harm than good. The sign is located at Locust Street and is positioned so that west-bound traffi c must stop. Fifth-Third Bank patrons pulling out of the drive-th-ru area are unable to make the stop sign and are often pulling out into oncoming east-bound traffi c that is not required to stop. Saltzman advised council members of the hazard and they agreed to remove it.

“No parking” signs will soon be placed near the Christian Church on Cale Street. Saltzman advised when cars are parked near the church, it makes it dif-fi cult for Hirsch’s Depart-ment Store patrons to pull out. The signs will specify that parking will not be per-mitted Monday-Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. How-ever, they will allow access to the church’s handicap accessible wheelchair ramp whenever necessary.

Noise complaints from the use of a sandblaster at Nix Welding have caused council members to ques-tion the need of a noise or-dinance. Baker and fellow council member, Ron Fal-lowfi eld, stated they would call a meeting with the busi-ness owners to fi nd a solu-tion to the noise problem. Baker noted that the sand-blaster was in operation up until 8 p.m. one evening. They hope to fi nd a way to baffl e the structure or work out an operating schedule that won’t disrupt the busi-ness and please the neigh-bors.

Council members agreed to a purchase agreement with Duke Energy for new street lights along Main Street. The10-year agree-ment will cost$1,685 per month and will replace 22 lights. The current lights have been in use for the past 25 years.

Council members ap-

proved a gas system upgrade that will increase the pres-sure in which the gas utility operates. As demand on the gas utility has increased, the need for improvements and expansion is justifi able.

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, May 8, at 4:30 p.m. in the new town hall on 38 W. Main Street.

Heartworm disease is a serious and often times fatal condition for dogs and cats. Heartworms are parasitic worms that live in the arter-ies of the lungs and in the heart of dogs, cats and other mammals like foxes, wolves, ferrets and on rare occasion humans.

Likewise, heartworms can easily be prevented in dogs and cats with one of several simple preventatives.

Heartworm disease is transmitted by the bite of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes get the heartworm larvae by bit-ing an infected animal. Once inside the mosquito, the lar-vae mature and when the mosquito feeds off another animal, the larvae are trans-ferred to the new host animal. It takes about 6 months for the larvae to mature into adult worms. They continue to ma-ture and reproduce. The host animal will also infect any new mosquitoes that bite it.

This continues to spread the larvae and infect additional animals.

To prevent heartworm disease is a relatively simple process. The most important fi rst step is to see if your pet is currently infected with heart-worms. This can be done by a simple blood test at your veterinarian’s offi ce. Once it is determined that your animal does not already have heartworms, it is safe to give them a heartworm preventa-tive. Heartworm preventa-tive can be given a number of ways. The heartworm preventative works by inter-rupting heartworm develop-ment before the adult worms can reach your pet’s heart and lungs. There are tasty chew-able treats, pills, shots and topically preventatives. The key to success is to pick one method and always adminis-ter it according to directions. Many products offer text, email or little post-it calendar

reminders to administer the preventative the same time each month. Your veterinari-an will be able to help you de-termine which method is best for your pet. It is also recom-mended that animals be kept on preventative year round. The winters have steadily become milder and each year mosquitoes are seen as late as December and even in the early months of the new year.

Heartworm treatment is a very serious process and it is extremely hard on the ani-mal particularly with an ad-vanced case of heartworms. Treatment is done over an extended period and needs

to be monitored by your vet-erinarian. During treatment, your pet must have activ-ity restricted. The animal also runs the risk of having blockage of the blood fl ow as the heartworms are dis-lodged and moving through the lungs and bloodstream. There is the risk of perma-nent heart damage due to the infection. In general, preven-tion is ALWAYS preferable to treatment. So if you are not currently using a heartworm preventative, please contact your veterinarian to schedule a test and fi nd out which pre-ventative will work best for your furry friend.

By Pam YoungKristi, my bonus daugh-

ter, is like a real daughter to me. We have such fun and yet we’re so different. This fall we spent three weeks together and the time fl ew. One of the days she and I went shopping and ended up in her favorite bookstore. While perusing the miniscule section on home and family, I heard her squeal with joy a few rows over and found her holding Diana Gabaldon’s latest novel in hardback.

“Oh, look, it’s out, I have to get it. ”

“Wow, it’s huge. ”“Yeah it’s about a three-

pounder.”“Oh, Sweetie, I don’t think

it weighs that much, maybe a pound.”

“No, I don’t mean it weighs three pounds, I mean I’ll gain three pounds reading it. I love to eat while I read. ”

Kristi is a size three or four so she can afford to put a little “reading cushion” on her pe-tite body, but the notion of eating while reading intrigued me because I can’t do that. I either have to read or eat to fully enjoy either event and if I try to do both simultane-ously I miss out on the best

of both worlds. And it’s also a good thing for me because I read a lot and I don’t need the extra calories that would fi nd their way into my system via time spent with Michael Con-nelly.

I was telling my dear friend Jody about Kristi’s comment and she said,

“Oh my, I’m like Kristi, I love to eat while I read and I could stand to lose some weight.”

“How can you concentrate on the book if you’re eating?” I asked.

“Well, while I’m actually reading I am chewing and then when I turn the page I take another bite.”

“So you take a bite every time you turn a page?”

“Just about. And I have the books with the big print. ” (Jody is in her 80s.)

Then she said, “Wow, I could lose some of this extra weight if I stopped that habit, couldn’t I?”

Do you like to eat while you read? My husband does. We read a lot of the same books and I can literally tell what he ate while he read, be-cause invariably the evidence of the snack of choice is left on the pages. I know he ate

some left-over barbequed ribs during chapter twelve of Ab-solute Power, because when I got to that chapter I suddenly had the urge to have ribs.

If you have a habit of eating while you read and you want to lose weight, I wouldn’t suggest cold tur-keying it. Start with baby steps. Decide to take a bite on even numbered pages, or at the beginning of a chap-ter. You could decide to take a bite only when there is an illustration or photo. (If you try that one, no fair reading comic books.) Just think, you could lose several pounds in the next year depending on how many books you read, and bites you take per page.

Oh, and if you’re like me and you can’t eat and read at the same time, be so thankful.

Just a thought as we head toward the great summer reading season.

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

By Dave PearceEver since he can remember, Nick Barton has wanted to be an automobile mechanic. And

while not everyone would consider Nick’s profession a “dream job,” to him and his family, it is just that. On May 4, the people of Posey County will have an opportunity to help the Bartons celebrate an open house at their new facility.

“From a young age, I was always interested in anything mechanical, especially anything with an engine. But I also had a stereotype of mechanics that is shared with most of society that is in-correct – that working on cars is not a professional career,” Barton said. “I learned later on that it is just the opposite so I enrolled in the automotive program at Ivy Tech Community College. At Ivy Tech, I earned an Associates degree while working at a local dealership and attending a number of manufacturer training over the next several years.”

Now, several years later, Nick is a happily married man and “Livin’ the Dream,” literally. He and his wife, Maureen and children Will and Katherine are thrilled to be in the new home of Barton Automotive on Highway 66 between Wadesville and the Posey County line. Nick’s parents are Richard and Marilyn Barton.

But this life has not been easy. Sacrifi ces have had to be made and decisions have been agreed upon.

“In 2006 my wife and I decided to open Barton Automotive Services. We started out in a small building I rented from my dad and after six years decided it was going to be necessary to buy or build a bigger facility to accommodate growth,” Barton said. “When the six-acre lot that we currently reside at 9019 Highway 66 went up for sale, we pretty much made the purchase the same day. We spent a lot of time carefully planning the construction of our new shop and about a year-and-a-half later, we moved in. We consider ourselves very fortunate to be where we are today.”

But Barton has learned over the years that you can be an excellent mechanic and still not be able to run a successful business. He learned that being able to communicate with people is key to any business venture. That’s why he spends so much time trying to be sure his customers understand when they trust his business to repair their vehicles.

“When I fi rst started this business I was naive in thinking that success was going to be deter-mined mainly by our ability to fi x cars. Over the years, I have learned that is not the case. While the business is centered around auto repair, dealing with and understanding people is the key,” Barton said. “We have been fortunate to have a great customer base and employees that have made it a pleasure.”

Although he is happy with his current group of technicians, fi nding people who fi t into the entire process that Barton’s believes in has not been easy.

“Finding qualifi ed technicians has been a challenge. A good technician needs to have an ana-lytical mind, be mechanically inclined, have a good understanding of electronics, and be good with their hands,” Barton explained. “These traits are usually not found under the same hood. The technologies in vehicles and equipment are continually evolving. Today's technician needs to be able to navigate, decipher, and use these technologies especially diagnostic equipment.”

Barton recently learned that his company has been AAA approved.“Last month we submitted our application to become an AAA approved facility. Part of the

process is a background check sampling a random pool of your customer base to measure ser-vice, reputation, etc. To become AAA approved, a facility must pass with a 90 percent rating among existing customers,” Barton said. “We received news a few weeks ago that we received a 98.6 percent rating. Within Posey, Vanderburgh, and Gibson county we are the only AAA ap-proved auto repair facility. Our hard work and commitment to quality and honest repair work are paying off.”

Regarding those who will work on your vehicle, Barton is an ASA master certifi ed technician with many professional development certifi cations under his belt along with Kenny Morris, another ASE master certifi ed technician and Tristan Mathew who also is a technician.

“Since we have been in the new shop, we have hired a full-time service manager, Tony Grisham to assist with day-to-day operations,” Barton said. “We also employ three part time employees, Jerry Barton, Dallas Glover, and Ryan Rapp.”

But despite having people working under him, Barton never lets his hand’s on experience get away from him.

“I am motivated by technology advancements and have a passion for staying on the forefront when it comes to technology especially in the newer models of vehicles. We attend a number of automotive conferences, professional developments so we can service a broad range of vehi-cles,” he explained. “We have the most up-to-date testing and diagnostic equipment, high qual-ity tools, and shop equipment. We also use the latest technology in many aspects of automotive service as well as being able to pull from a number of factory repair resources.”

Since day one this has been a family business from my uncles, parents and especially my wife. We come together because at the end of the day, we believe in developing a quality experi-ence for the customer.

“I encourage all our friends, old and new, to come out to our open house on May 4,” Barton said. “It will be a great time to walk through the facility, and come out and see what we have to offer. We will have food, activities for kids, and a Nascar simulator.”

Local teachers have earned national recognition for outstanding performance in advancing reading practice and profi ciency.

Ellie Naas and Karen Stewart, fi rst grade teachers; Carrie Boehman and Greg Brinkmeyer, second grade teachers, Jenny Burris and Krystal Knust, third grade teachers, and Katie Cum-mings, fourth and fi fth grade language arts teacher were awarded Accelerated Reader Model and/or Master Class-room Certifi cation by Re-naissance Learning, a Wis-consin Rapids, Wis., based company.

Model and Classroom Cer-tifi cation acknowledge that these teachers’ efforts to pro-mote personalized reading practice, assess comprehen-

sion, and monitor progress have resulted in measurable improvements in reading profi ciency.

Accelerated Reader Mod-el and Master Classroom Certifi cation demonstrate that a majority of the stu-dents in each class have met or exceeded goals for read-ing practice and comprehen-sion. After reading fi ction and non-fi ction books at the appropriate level, students take quizzes to assess their comprehension. Accelerated Reader provides immediate feedback to help teachers fa-cilitate reading level growth.

The school plans to cel-ebrate the fi rst-fi fth graders accomplishments in May with a Reading Celebration Day. Many activities are planned including an awards

ceremony in which all 117 students in grades 1-5 will receive a medal.Accelerated Reader, the world’s leading reading software program, enables teachers to person-alize reading practice and monitor comprehension to optimize growth. Today’s real-time version provides access to more than 150,000 quizzes, more than half of which are for non-fi ction books. This vast collection of quizzes provides opportu-nities for students to read and comprehend texts of steadily increasing complexity from early grades through gradua-tion. With a teacher’s permis-sion, students may take quiz-zes on most mobile learning devices, reducing the need for students to wait for com-puters.

By Steven KocherspergerThe Mount Vernon boys’ baseball team

continues to roll past their opponents this season.

The Wildcats rolled past four of their op-ponents this week, Tecumseh, Reitz, Gibson Southern, and North Posey to continue their great run this early season. And while most of this week’s games were lopsided on the scoreboard, one game sticks out. It was Gib-son Southern who gave the Wildcats all they could handle Friday night but when it was all said and done the Cats took advantage of a bases loaded walk in extra innings to defeat their sectional counterparts 4-3.

Mount Vernon sent Bryce Newman to the mound on Friday against the Titans hoping he would give the innings necessary to keep the score close. That’s what Newman was able to do against Gibson Southern. Newman pitched four innings striking out three batters while walking only one and giving up two runs.

Those two runs came in the top of the sec-ond inning as Gibson Southern hit a two out double to go up on the Wildcats 2-0. The Ti-tans kept the Cats cold at the bat most of the game behind their great pitching and timing on defense.

Gibson Southern was able to extend their lead by a run in the seventh inning getting a run on a two out hit to go up 3-0. This put the pressure on Mount Vernon to do something or go home disappointed, and the Cats did

not let up.In the bottom of the seventh Craig Beeson

drew a walk and River VanZant got on with a bunt single. Seth Reeves plated the fi rst run with a base hit making the score 3-1 with two outs. That’s when Trevor Veeck came to the plate and tripled on a ball that would have gone out of the park under warmer weather. Veeck’s triple cleared the bases and tied the game at 3-3.

The game went to extra innings and both teams fought hard to not only keep the other team from scoring but trying to end the game themselves. Both teams threatened at times but the pitching really kept both teams going.

It was in the bottom of the tenth inning that the Wildcats ended the game.

Veeck walked and Colin Varner got on base on a bunt hit as well. And when Austin Krizan walked to the plate all in attendance hoped he could be the hero, and he was. Kri-zan showed great patience and drew a bases loaded walk to score Veeck and help his team take the game 4-3 over the Titans.

The winning pitcher was Drake McNama-ra who came into the game in relief of New-man to pitch fi ve solid innings only giving up one run. McNamara pitched great and helped his team gain the victory on the mound.

Overall the Wildcats enjoyed their week and have enjoyed their early season success. They defeated Tecumseh 11-1 on Monday and Evansville Reitz 10-3 on Wednesday. And after beating Gibson Southern Friday

the Cats traveled to North Posey and beat the Vikings 15-4 behind a grand slam by senior Wildcat Jevin Redman.

The Wildcats hope to continue their win-

ning ways this week. Baseball is a game of momentum and with all the winning Mount Vernon has done this early part of the season the momentum is clearly all on their side.

Wildcats gain extra momentum in 4-for-4 week, now 9-1

By Dave PearceThe North Posey Lady Vikings were just

and error or two away from a perfect 4-0 week but according to Coach Gary Gentil, he will take this week’s effort any time.

“We had a real good week,” Gentil said. “We took three out of four this week. I told the girls on Saturday after we beat Forest Park (14-2) we have to realize that the fi rst four games would be some of the toughest we would see throughout the season. Since then, We have been just one play away in every game from being 7-0 since that rough start.”

After a rough 0-4 start, the Lady Vikings have enjoyed a 4-3 record, including wins this week over Mount Vernon, Bosse, and Forest Park. The lone loss came to Class A’s ranked South Knox after the Vikings enjoyed a 4-2 lead heading into the top of the seventh.

However, a dropped foul ball that could have ended the game seemed to open the fl oodgates and the Lady Vikings then com-mitted three errors in the inning and dropped the contest 5-4.

“”We are getting so much better. Saturday was probably the best full game we have

played this year,” Gentil said of the win at Forest Park, home of the sectional. “They have been in every game and have lost to two ranked teams by one run apiece.”

The Vikings have been producing runs in masses during the current hot streak and there is plenty of credit to spread around.

“Kelsey Owen got back in on Thursday and then on Friday against Bosse, she was 1-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bas-es,” Gentil said. “Kelsey, Taylor Franklin, and Megan Baehl had a great game hitting on Saturday. And senior Amy Brandenstein has been swinging the ball for us really well, too.”

Gentil said that Franklin, who was injured and had surgery over the summer, has pro-vided some big hits that have kept things roll-ing for the team.

“”We have her DH-ing now,” Gentil said. “She is our back-up fi rst baseman. Before she was injured, she was a catcher but she hurt that shoulder last year and missed the whole year and she’s just not able to catch anymore.

Lady Vikings get things rolling, win three out of four

By Steven KocherspergerThe Mount Vernon girls’ tennis team is back in action

and have started off their year in great fashion. The long awaited season has begun and the girls took on and beat both of their fi rst two visiting opponents, Gibson Southern and North Posey. The team beat both opponents by a score of 3-2 and started off the year with a 2-0 team record. The team then traveled to Jasper dropping their fi rst road trip 5-0 up north.

The Wildcats return a great core of varsity players from last year’s team and it all begins with number one singles player Claire Schroeder. Schroeder beat her Gibson South-ern opponent Haley Decker 7-6,7-6 and then later in the week beat North Posey’s Shelby Ackerman 6-1,6-3. Schro-eder’s great play at the number one position will be vital to the success of the Wildcat team this season.

In the number two tennis slot for the Wildcats is junior Sara O’Neil. O’Neil started the week by beating Titan Taryn Goede 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 and then Viking Brianna Brown 6-4, 6-3. . In the three slot for the Wildcats is returning ju-nior Hayley Salaman. Salaman had a little bit of a bumpy week as she defeated her titan opponent 6-0, 6-4 before falling to North Posey’s Carol Santos 2-6, 6-2, 7-6.

All together the Wildcats have fi ve returning varsity let-ter winners that create a great core group this season. The team also has three new players, Freshman Megan McCar-ty, Senior Devon Allyn, and junior Riley Keating that are competing this season on the varsity level. Among those returners are juniors Zoe Burkhart and Livia Hopper who are playing together in number one doubles this year.

Burkhart and Hopper are working hard this season and will see many doubles opponents that will test them. Al-ready this early tennis season they have been tested as they have lost both matches so far to the Titans and the Vikings.

The other doubles pair will be a mix, and has been early on, of varsity players. Against Gibson Southern on Tues-day the Wildcats had newcomers Riley Keating and Megan

McCarty playing in the number two doubles slot. Keating and McCarty gave it a good fi ght but ended up losing 6-2, 6-3. A few days later against North Posey Vikings attatined the win at that slot as the Wildcats try to fi gure out who to play in the second doubles hole.

Altogether the Wildcats look to be a team that could be a tough opponent for many teams on their schedule and in

the Big Eight Conference. Coach Steve Schroeder says that the team is trying to improve every single practice even though the cold weather has forced them this season to lose some practices and make it harder on other practices to pre-pare. The team hopes to gain more confi dence each match they play and hopes to also make noise in the conference as well as the sectional this season.

Sometimes the greatest lessons in life are learned from our chil-dren. This week’s “Good Neigh-bor” is six year old Maya Luna from New Harmony. Luna has taught her a lot especially about giving, perseverance, and fun.

Maya attends kindergarten at North Elementary in Poseyville and speaks highly of her school and teacher. She rides the bus to and from school every day and when she comes home she is wel-comed by her younger brother Carter and her mother Brittney. Her father Samuel works as a kitchen manager of a restaurant and mother Brittney does the hard work of keeping Maya and

Carter well cared for while he is working.

Maya was diagnosed with a rare immune disorder called Id-iopathic Thrombocytopenic Pur-pura, which is defi ned by a low platelet count and comes with a lot of bruising. This has made the Luna family travel many times to Riley hospital for care for Maya. During one of those trips last year Maya saw a kid without hair and decided out of the goodness of her heart to cut her own hair and give it to the Locks of Love. So in December that became a real-ity and Maya gave ten inches of her hair.

Her giving spirit seems to come

from her compassionate heart and she says she will continue to grow out her hair to be able to give to those who need it most.

Maya loves her family and is a typical active six year old. Her condition makes it more diffi cult to do certain normal kid activities but it can never stop her from try-ing those things. Maya loves to jump rope and loves drawing as well. She does ballet and is a part of the Girl Scout Troop 267.

Posey County is proud of Maya. She is teaching us all that life should be lived in such a way as to make the needs of others just as important as our own. Thanks for those lessons Maya.

Maya proves good neighbors come in all shapes and sizes

By Steven KocherspergerThe Mount Vernon girls’

softball team hit a speed bump in their early season this week. That speed bump came in the form of the North Posey Vikings. North Posey visited Mount Ver-non on Monday and came up big behind their bats and their great defensive efforts. When it was all said and done the Vikings beat the Wildcats by a score of 9-4.

Both the Wildcats and the Vikings threatened in the early innings without scor-ing but it was North Posey who struck fi rst scoring four runs in the top of the third inning. Senior Amy Brandenstein reached on a fi elder’s choice that scored the fi rst run of the game and the fl ood gates opened from there. Designated hitter Taylor Franklin’s base hit scored the second run of the game and Megan Baehl’s sacrifi ce fl y scored the third run. Anna Will had a base hit that scored the fourth run and at the end of the top half of the third the Vikings had a 4-0 lead.

The Vikings would add

on fi ve more runs in the top of the fi fth inning put-ting the Wildcats in a huge hole down 9-0. The Wild-cats struggled defensively and seemed out of sync and didn’t even score a run un-til the bottom of the sixth inning. That run came on a lead off homerun by fresh-man Ellen Denning who put the ball over the center fi eld fence making the game 9-1.

But the Vikings would continue to see great pitch-ing from their starter Hailee Elderkin who struck out seven and walked only one batter in the contest. Elder-kin has been thrust into the starting position since North Posey’s ace from last season Ashley Schorr is out, most likely for the season, with a shoulder injury.

With two outs in the bot-tom of the seventh inning the Wildcats began to rally.

Madison Denning, Ellen Denning, and Katie Tucker all had basehits that loaded the bases for Tylyn Tanner. Tanner drew a two out walk to score the Wildcats sec-ond run of the game. Ellie Weilbrenner then doubled to score two runs but that would be all the Vikings would allow and would go on to beat Mount Vernon 9-4.

The Wildcat loss to North Posey was disappointing to head coach Dave Bell. “I don’t feel that we came ready to play,” Bell said. “North Posey took it to us and we didn’t respond until it was too late. North Posey did a good job of putting the ball in play and taking ad-vantage of our miscues.”

The bumpy week would continue Tuesday night as the visiting Mater Dei Wild-cats came to Mount Vernon

and left victorious. Mater Dei pitcher Carol Wilmes took care of business strik-ing out 15 Mount Vernon batters and only allowing two hits. Those two hits, a single and a double by Wild-cat Ellen Denning, would not be enough to score a run as the visiting Wildcats beat Mount Vernon 3-0.

The Wildcats ended their week losing a heartbreaker to Heritage Hills 7-5 to run their overall record to 2-5 on the season.

The Cats would love to forget the week they have had. And the great thing about sports is that as long as there are games ahead of you, the chance to turn things around is there as well.

The girls will play at un-defeated Central Wednesday before coming home Thurs-day to play Mount Carmel.

But the Lady Vikings are no strangers to injuries. The season’s starting pitcher Ash-ley Schorr injured her shoul-der playing volleyball re-cently and apparently will be unable to play for the remain-der of the season. However, up stepped Hailee Elderkin and the Vikings have hardly missed a beat.

“Hailee has stepped up and has just done a tremendous job,” Gentil said. “She’s had about fi ve straight games and one of those was the game up there in the Barr-Reeve tour-nament when she pitched six strong innings. She has really stepped up and done a tre-mendous job.”

Gentil said Elderkin’s best pitching is undoubtedly ahead of her as the sopho-more has been working on

being the Vikings’ No. One. “She is getting much more

comfortable and I think that as the warmer temperatures have come, I think that combination has really got her getting a groove on the pitches,” Gentil said. “Going into this year, we thought we could use Hailee as a closer and we weren’t working with her on durability. We were thinking about two innings a night for her because we knew she had the ability to pick up some speed. But we have had to get her back to work on longevity for this situation and she has really responded.”

But the Vikings will have to continue to develop depth as they played without two starters in two games this week.

“Going into the season, we had three pitchers, Ashley, Hailee, and Maddie Feldhake who has been pitching jay-vee for us,” Gentil said. “We are at the point right now to where we are going to have to work on Maddie being the back-up for Hailee and start fi nding other people in case incidents occur that we need them.”

On the defensive side of the ball, Owen continues to get more comfortable at the shortstop position and has done a great job com-ing back from a concussion. Gentil also eluded to Maddie Elpers, who took away two almost certain hits for the Lady Rangers at Forest Park. He also mentioned Taylor Patton as a defensive player who has taken away a couple of hits from the opposition in recent games.

In action this week, the Vi-kings will host once-beaten Princeton and then will host undefeated Central on Friday evening. The Lady Bears are the State’s seventh-ranked Class 4A team.

By Dave PearceNorth Posey entered Saturday’s

game with Mount Vernon seek-ing the consistency they had been missing during the early part of the season by building on a 16-5 victory at Vincennes on Wednes-day. They did not fi nd it, as the visiting Wildcats sent 15 hitters to the plate, while tallying 10 runs, in the fi rst inning of a 15- 4 rout of the Vikings.

Mount Vernon’s opening inning rally was aided by four walks and ignited by a three-run home run by Drake McNamara. Jevin Red-man capped the huge inning with a grand slam over the right fi eld fence allowing the Wildcats to cruise to the victory.

North Posey scored single runs in the second and third innings, while tallying two in their half of the fourth inning. Senior Colton

Martin belted his fourth home run in fi ve at – bats when he led off the second inning for the Vi-kings. North Posey’s Kyle Voe-gel walked in the third frame and scored on a Wildcat fi elding error and in the fourth junior Christian Jones led off with a double, later scoring on a ground out by fi rst baseman Nick Heldt. The fi nal run for the Vikings came courtesy of back- to- back errors by Mount Vernon.

“Needless to say this was very disappointing,” stated North Posey baseball coach Kevin Smith. “We struggled on the mound, leaving pitches up and out over the plate, which is something we cannot do against top competition like Mount Vernon. To have our start-ing pitcher not get past one-third of an inning is unacceptable and something we simply have to improve upon. Further, our staff has to do a better job of locating pitches in order to keep the hitters off balance.”

Despite the defeat the Viking mentor found some solace with what he saw at the plate.

“I thought we had a solid ap-proach at the plate today and had some balls hit hard, but right at defenders,” Smith said. “We had chances to battle back into the game, earning four walks, but could not get the ball to fall in for us. I also liked the pitching perfor-mance we received from Michael Bender. He came in and calmed things for us when we needed someone to get us into and through the middle part of the game.”

Martin went 2 for 3 at the plate for the Vikings (3-7).

North Posey’s win at Vincennes came as a result of a power ex-plosion from Colton Martin and Tyler Stolz. Martin ignited the Vikings by slugging home runs in three consecutive at-bats, ac-counting for seven RBIs and four runs scored in the process. Stolz capped a 12 hit attack with a sev-enth inning grand slam home run for the 16-5 Viking victory.

Martin put North Posey on the board with a three run homer in the fi rst inning, scoring Kyle Voe-gel, who had reached base via a single, and Alec Werry, walked. After the Alices cut the Viking lead to 3-1 with a tally in their half of the second inning, Martin blasted his second consecutive three-run round tripper in the top of third for a 6-1 lead. A lone Vin-cennes run in the bottom of the third made it 6-2 North Posey, but the Vikings answered back with a run, courtesy of Zach Scheller, in the top of the fourth.

Martin’s fi nal home run came leading off the fi fth inning, with the Vikings scoring three times each in the sixth and fi ve in the seventh. Stolz drove in two runs with a single in the sixth, before belting his grand slam in the last frame to fi nish with six RBIs.

Along with the power surge of Martin and Stolz the Vikings re-ceived a 3-for-3 offensive night from Voegel, while juniors Zach Carl and Ryan Gish added hits in their only appearances at the plate.

“When our middle of the order is hitting we can be an extremely effective offensive team,” Viking coach Kevin Smith stated. “Colton was tuned in at the plate and it showed in his approach leading up to each at-bat. Tyler picked up on the momentum as well and Kyle was terrifi c in his three trips to the plate. I also thought Kyle did a great job of pitching out of trouble in the fi rst three innings to allow us to build the early cushion.”

On Tuesday night Heritage Hills whipped the Vikings by a 14-2 count in a Pocket Athletic Conference contest in Poseyville. The Patriots scored eight runs over the fi rst two innings to cruise to the win.

Senior Jacob Bender accounted for the Vikings’ only runs with a one-out home run in the fi rst in-ning. Bender’s blast scored Kyle Voegel who had singled ahead of him, while tying the score at the time at 2-all.

Monday evening the Vikings traveled to Evansville to face the 10th ranked (4A) North Huskies. Despite playing the hosts close North Posey fell by a 9-5 score.

“We did a nice job of competing with one of the best teams we will see all year,” Smith noted. “Derek Lindauer was very good for us on the mound and if not for two er-rors would have left the game with a 3-0 lead. We had our chances at the plate and I liked how we ap-proached our ABs against North.”

Junior Reed Gerteisen went 2-for-3 in the loss, with Stolz con-tributing a 2-for-4 offensive night.

North Posey will try to get back on the winning track with games Tuesday at home, against Southridge, Friday at home with Princeton, and Saturday at Floyd Central.

How to repair unsightly bald spots in your lawn Lawn care afi cionados know how a

single bald spot can make an otherwise luscious lawn look worn down and poorly maintained. A bald spot can stick out like a sore thumb, while several bald spots can compromise a home's curb appeal.

Treating bald spots typically depends on what is causing the bald spot. Bugs, dryness, pet waste and damage from mowers are some of the more common causes of bald spots. The following is a breakdown of these different causes and how best to address each situation so you can restore your lawn to its natural beauty.

DrynessA lawn can go dry because of drought

in the summertime or during the winter months when there is not much rain or snowfall. Homeowners cannot change the weather, but they can help their lawn avoid becoming the burned or yellowed turf that often results after extended pe-

riods of dryness. Fertilizing the lawn during the spring and summer is a good fi rst step. This helps the lawn grow in healthy and thick. Once you have fertil-ized, don't cut the grass too short. When grass is cut too short, the soil struggles to retain moisture, which can eventually lead to bald spots if weather conditions are dry. During especially dry periods in the summer, watering might be necessary. You won't have to water frequently, but be sure to water deeply so the water can reach the roots of the grass.

Pet WasteWaste from pets can cause bald spots

on a yard. This might surprise some homeowners, but pet waste contains a high level of concentrated nitrogen that, when applied to a lawn, can burn the grass and cause bald spots. Urine is most likely to cause bald spots, but fecal matter can as well.

When addressing the problem of pet

waste on your lawn, make sure no one else's pets are the cause of the problem.Neighbors out walking their dogs should be discouraged from allowing their dogs to use your lawn as a restroom. If this does not work, then erect a fence or some type of structure that makes it diffi cult for other people's pets to access your lawn.

When it's your own pet causing the damage, address the spots where your pet relieves itself as quickly as possible. Watering the area within eight hours can signifi cantly reduce the risk of lawn dam-age by diluting the nitrogen levels. An-other way to address the issue is to en-courage the animal to use various spots in the yard, rather than continually using the same spot. Flush each area with water im-mediately after the pet is fi nished. If the damage is already considerable, remove the damaged grass and reseed the spot.

Mower DamageSometimes Mother Nature and man's

best friend are not the culprit with regard to bald spots on your lawn. Human error can cause bald spots, too. Dull mower blades or grass that is cut too low can cause bald spots. Fortunately, this is eas-ily remedied.

To avoid bald spots, make sure mower blades are sharpened at the beginning of each mowing season, as dull blades dam-age the grass, which is then forced to use valuable nutrients to treat torn grass, weakening the lawn over time. When mowing, make sure you're not cutting too low so the soil can retain as much moisture as possible. This will necessi-tate more frequent mowing, but this, too, can prevent bald spots, as it ensures those parts of the grass that contain chlorophyll will not be removed.

Bald spots can turn a pristine lawn into an eyesore. But treating bald spots can be easy and, when done effectively, the lawn can be restored quickly.

OPINION

We can have a stronger economy by creating jobs in America instead of sending them to Mexico, China, India and other parts of the world.

It's time to bring jobs back to America. Business own-ers should be rewarded with a corporate tax rate of only 15% if they bring most of their jobs home. This will al-

low them to have more mon-ey to hire more people.

The right to work should be encouraged throughout our nation. People who work for a corporation should not be forced to join any group that they do not want to join.

A lower tax rate for all Americans will add more dol-lars for each family to spend.

Americans across the board do not need more taxes. Each American will benefi t from paying less tax. Even a small tax cut from all sides would amount to a lot of additional spending power for poor and middle class Americans.

We should provide a bonus year for American business. Every business should have a

bonus year where every cor-poration pays only 5%. The business must be in America for at least fi ve years to enjoy the bonus year. This would be something that could be done every fi ve years to encourage businesses to come and stay in America.

I would further propose a fi fth year bonus for every American citizen. Every fi ve years the tax rate would be a maximum of fi ve percent across the board. This would be a boom to the economy and would keep more money in the pockets of the Ameri-can people.

New corporations and old ones who come back and hire 70% of their employees in the United States receive the cor-porate tax rate of 15%.

The economy will grow if we can bring down the cost of energy and we can. The gaso-line pumps have fi nancially killed poorer and middle class Americans the last few years. Millions of Ameri-cans are grossing less than $400 a week and many less than this. If a person's take home pay is closer to $300 a

week and they spend a $100 a week to fi ll up the gas tank then how does that person pay for shelter, utilities and food? Usually it's food that is eliminated from the budget. Poorer Americans are hungry and surviving by eating cheap unhealthy food. If Americans could spend $50 a week at the gas pump, instead of $100, they would have $50 more to take to the grocery store.

Natural gas is abundant and cheaper than any other source of energy. Every con-venient store and gasoline station in America should add natural gas pumps im-mediately. Every automaker should develop cars and trucks that will run on natu-ral gas. A number of auto-makers are working on this. Automakers who add these models in the next 10 years should be rewarded with a corporate tax break.

Have you been on an inter-state in America lately? The interstates of America are loaded down with big trucks. Natural gas can power these trucks and save the owners of these trucks thousands of

dollars. This will help reduce the cost of everything they are transporting and help the economy in America.

Utilizing our natural gas, oil, coal and wind will put Americans back to work. We are buying too much oil out of the country. We need to eliminate any and all energy dependence from the Middle East.

We must utilize coal clean-ly and effi ciently. There is a future for coal. We have pow-ered most of the plants in this country with coal.

Coal is an incredible source of energy. We shouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water. We must do these two things.

Learn to burn it cleaner.Mine the coal environmen-

tally safer.We can do these two things

with some work and still have a great coal industry. A more energy independent America, a large work force of Ameri-can people and more money spent at home on our roads, bridges and infrastructure will make for a more prosper-ous America.

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

Gavel Gamut’s: ‘Guns Across Big Creek’

Guest Column State Rep. Wendy McNamara

The next best and upcoming thing in education is gain-ing momentum and is moving swiftly throughout our nation. This train, if you will, has made stops in near-ly every state and has managed to gather a huge number of passengers. It gives promises of better things to come to our children in the future - so, why not come on board? Every-one else is doing it…it will be fi ne.

If you desire to live in a society of sheep, where everyone follows the leader complic-itly and without question, then by all means, get on board. But, if you just had the hair raise on the back of your neck as a red fl ag warning that something doesn’t seem quite right, then read on.

This train is called the Common Core State Standards and it is NOT what it is cloaked to be. You may not have even heard of the Common Core before. Or, perhaps you have heard the term, but didn’t really take the time to listen to fi nd out what it is, what it will do and why it’s bad.

Now - right now, is the time to fi nd out what Common Core is about.

It is a set of national standards for K-12 content that will standardize education in English and math. It is on track to be adopted in all 50 states. To date, Indiana has not adopted the Common Core Standards yet. House Bill 1427 hit the pause button on its passage until a thorough review and cost analy-sis is completed on the mandates associated with it.

Common Core proponents claim it imposes rigorous stan-dards so that students will be better prepared in a global econ-omy. Yet, many educators, legislators and parent groups are raising the red fl ag saying, this will not be the case.

In fact, current curriculum will be decreased or narrowed as schools and teachers will be forced to cut time devoted to teach science, social studies, art and music in order to con-centrate their time teaching math and English. Not convinced yet? The math and English concepts will also be narrowed. For example, study of an American classic such as The Ad-ventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain will cease un-der Common Core Curriculum Standards. Instead, teachers will be forced teach English concepts utilizing song lyrics or segments from a Federal Reserve newsletter. In essence, the standards are far lower than the current state standards in

these subject areas.According to the website, www.hoosiersagainstcommon-

core.com, there are four areas of concern re-garding Common Core. 1) The complete loss of local/state oversight to the federal govern-ment. 2) The exorbitant and yet-to-be-ac-counted- or budgeted-for cost of technology, teacher training, new materials, testing, etc. 3) The standards themselves are fl awed and neither research-based nor benchmarked, and they are not only lower than what high-

performing countries expect, but it is generally accepted that our current Indiana standards are superior, especially in math.

4) Collection of student data and a loss of privacy and con-fi dentiality as student data are gathered and digitally ware-housed.

So, why is this happening? It all boils down to money. There is money to be made if the Common Core is passed. School districts must purchase new texts. The MSD of North Posey just approved their new elementary school textbooks that will align itself with the Common Core Standards. Tech-nology and software will also need to be upgraded and pur-chased in order to comply with standardized testing require-ments.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has poured millions of dollars into a non-profi t group that is pushing this agenda, Achieve, Inc. The money is a drop in the bucket compared to the millions more that will be made as the new technology and curriculum requirements are purchased by every state.

The astonishing part is that the Common Core is not a new concept. In fact, it’s been quietly making its rounds to every state for passage since 2009.Proponents remembered the fate of a similar push in the 1990’s to standardize the subject of history in the classroom. Senate Resolution 66 prevented the adoption of certain national history standards. These propo-nents learned from that experience by not calling standard-ization of curriculum using the terms “national” or “federal”. This time around, they came up with the name, “Common Core.” They also learned that in order to quickly impose stan-dards, starting with a less controversial subject such as math and English is better.

In 2009, while the U.S. was in the throes of a deep reces-

sion, the Stimulus Bill gave the Department of Education (DOE) $4.35 million to use towards education. The DOE de-cided to create the Race to the Top competition so that states could compete for the funding. States could apply for Race to the Top grants, but fi rst, they had to agree to adopt the Com-mon Core Standards.

At that time, the standards hadn’t even been determined. No one knew what they were. The grant applications were released in November 2009. The states were rushed to return these applications by January 2010. In March 2010, a draft of the standards was released. Final state commitment was due in August 2010. States were desperate for funds due to the recession, so many felt compelled to agree to the Common Core.

Proponents of the Common Core built safeguards into the plan to ensnare its victims. Teachers are held accountable for their students’ test scores and it is refl ected on their evalua-tions. If no one really understood what this meant, it may not seem like a bad idea. On the surface, it sounds as though it would weed out the bad teachers who were effective. Unfor-tunately, it’s much more complicated. Teachers must teach the new curriculum and abandon all their previous training. If a teacher disregards this new curriculum, and teaches the same subject matter as they always have, their jobs may be at stake.

Finally, why does Common Core need to establish a stu-dent data tracking system that collects personally identifi able data including disciplinary records, health records, family in-come, religious and parent political affi liation? This is only a question that can be answered by proponents of Common Core as I was unable to ascertain a clear answer.

There is time to make a difference, but it is critical to act now. Contact your school board members and ask them ques-tions. They are your voice concerning your children’s educa-tion and it is their job to fi nd answers to these questions.

Hoosiers are asked to call as many House of Representa-tives members as possible at (317) 232-9600. Republicans will be debating behind closed doors as to whether this bill will be voted in front of the full House. Let the Republicans you contact know that you expect them to support HB 1427 and demand the leadership allow a full vote, where it can be discussed and debated openly.

From time to time we write our public media friends to thank them for helping us observe our long-standing tradition of anonymity for members of Alcoholics Anonymous.

First, let us express our deep gratitude to you. From the beginning of A.A. in 1935, its members have rec-ognized that word-of-mouth is not suffi cient by itself to carry the program's message of hope and recovery to the many people still suffering from alcoholism. The public media has been a vital part of this effort, and today we estimate that there are more than 2 million successfully recovering members of

Alcoholics Anonymous in more than 180 countries.

Second, we respectfully request that you continue to cooperate with us in maintaining the anonym-ity of A.A. members. The principle of anonymity is a basic tenet of our fellow-ship. Those who are reluc-tant to seek our help may overcome their fear if they are confi dent that their ano-nymity will be respected. In addition, and perhaps less understood, our tradition of anonymity acts as a restraint on A.A. members, remind-ing us that we are a program of principles, not personali-ties, and that no individual A.A. member may presume

to act as a spokesman or leader of our fellowship. If an A.A member is identifi ed in the media, we ask that you please use fi rst names only (e.g., Bob S. or Alice F.) and that you not use pho-tographs or electronic imag-es in which members’ faces may be recognized.

Again, we thank you for your continued cooperation. Those who wish to know more about our fellowship are welcome to visit the “For the Media” section ofAA.org. Our fellowship does not comment on mat-ters of public controversy, but we are happy to provide information about A.A. to anyone who seeks it.

Alcoholics Anonymous- a note of thanks

Chances are students at North Posey High School are no more fanatic about the Second Amendment than students who attend Mt. Vernon High School. However, come Law Day on April 23, 2013 at 8:30 a.m. in the Posey Circuit Court courtroom, North Posey stu-dent attorneys Cody Devine and Kayla Hoenert will try to convince a jury composed of real attorneys to pass a pro-gun ordinance.

MVHS attorneys Maggie Maier and Torsten Maier will argue the proposed law, McFaddens Bluff Ordinance 2-32, should fail. A cast of witnesses will testify to the merits, or lack thereof, of Ordinance 2-32 that calls for the head of every household in McFaddens Bluff to pos-sess a fi rearm and compat-ible ammunition.

McFaddens Bluff mayor, Consuela Harper, played by North Posey’s Kendall Beu-ligmann, will be called on to explain why she proposes that her town will be safer if the ordinance passes. Mayor Harper’s position is sup-ported by McFaddens Bluff city council members Annie Oakley and Reyfert Hogart.

Oakley will be portrayed by NP student, Anna Will, and Hogart by Michael Dutton.

Voting against 2-32 are council members Nevillé Chamberlain as represented by MVHS student Claire Schroeder and Joan Baez portrayed by Tristan En-glert.

Mayor Harper came up with the gun in every home idea after McFaddens Bluff High School’s cross-coun-ty rival, Grafton Normal School, broke into a trophy case in an attempt to take the 2012 Posey County Basket-ball Championship trophy. Grafton lost to McFaddens Bluff after a controversial last second foul was called on Grafton’s star center, Carlos Grippado, by referee Rodney Fetching.

Grippado will be played by Brian Koch and Fetching by Jace Gentil. Grippado’s girlfriend, Medusa Metal-jacket, will be played by

Nicole Hawley and Mayor Harper’s daughter, who is also the captain of McFad-dens Bluff’s cheerleading squad, Angel Harper, will be played by Kater Martin.

MVHS’s fi rm of Maier and Maier will call Professor Misty Obfuscate, portrayed by Cassie Thompson. With a degree in sociology to back up her opinion, the professor will testify about the evils of guns. Another professional, Dr. Ōzzie Ossify played by Martha McBride, will be asked to describe the injuries Carlos Grippado received from the McFaddens Bluff cheerleaders.

Clint Cox from NP will play volunteer town mar-shal Adolf Hobnail who be-lieves Ordinance 2-32 is a good idea. North Posey will also have alternates Megan Baehl, Willis Heldt and Brooke Sturgell available if needed.

The teachers and their students have worked hard and the Posey County Bar Association is eager to hear their competing arguments. The topic is topical and the event is free and open to the public. Perhaps we will see you in court.

As much as we try, life can be something that we never have complete control over. Whether for the good or the bad, life can change in a split second. Before these split second life changes occur, I believe that we can take action now to put our-selves in the best possible position when trouble arises.

Emergencies are rarely foreseeable, but giving trained public safety profes-sionals the authority to per-form life-saving measures during an emergency is a step in the right direction of preparedness.

Yesterday, Governor

Pence signed my tactical medical bill, House Enrolled Act (HEA) 1111, into law. HEA 1111 gives SWAT team offi cers, who are currently trained in tactical emergency medicine, the legal recogni-tion to use their trained skills to save a wounded victim.

With the enactment of this bill, trained SWAT professionals will have the authority to use their tacti-cal medical skills during an emergency when EMTs are not present. The fi rst SWAT team will now have the go ahead to act instead of wait-ing for others to assist them.

The bill allows for the

practice of tactical emer-gency medicine if the indi-vidual:

1. is an emergency medi-cal technician, an advanced emergency medical techni-cian, or a paramedic.

2. is employed by a law enforcement agency or an emergency medical services agency to provide retrieval and fi eld medical treatment to victims of violent con-frontations; and

3 .has successfully com-pleted an accredited educa-tional training program in tactical emergency medi-cine.
