By Dave PearceThe New Harmony community lost one of

its most decorated heros and cheerleaders this week.

James Doyle Westfall, 73, of New Harmony, Ind., passed away Monday, February 4, 2013. He was born September 8, 1939, in New Harmony, the son of Doyle and Helen (Endicott)

Westfall.Jim was a Class of 1957 graduate of New

Harmony High School and attended the Uni-versity of Southern Mississippi graduating with degrees in Computer Science and Math-ematics. He received two masters’ degrees from the University of Southern California in Computer Information Systems and Software Engineering.

He was a Vietnam Veteran and a career offi cer in the United States Army attaining the rank of Major. He began his military career as an offi ce machine repair person in

Europe. He then attended fl ight school and upon completion was deployed for his fi rst tour in Vietnam. Upon returning, he was fi rst a fl ight instructor and then joined the Corp of Engineers, competing with West Point graduates while he, at the time, had only a high school diploma. After returning from another tour in Vietnam, he completed his fi rst college degree and was then transferred to Hawaii where he became a Project Offi -cer developing a new Army Supply System. During his Army career he received 41 Air Medals, the Bronze Star, Vietnam Service Medal with “V” and others. He retired from the Army after 20 years of service, and then began his second career as a professor, and then Department Chair of the University of Evansville Computer Science Department. He was also a founding member of Evans-ville On-line, now owned by Synergy. Upon retiring from the University of Evansville, the family moved back to New Harmony where he became active in the community and lo-cal school. He was a member of Kiwanis, the American Legion, Working Men’s Institute, and an active member of his church.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years,

By Valerie WerkmeisterPosey County is without the use of another

bridge, the second to date. Highway Super-intendent Steve Schenk reported the incident to the Posey County Commissioners during their meeting February 5.

Schenk stated that the damage to the Raben Road Bridge was discovered late on February 1. The bridge has a seven-ton weight limit and Schenk reported that something much larger, possibly as big as 30 tons, hit the bridge. A steel beam is cracked and bowed. Schenk stated this bridge was built eight years ago at a cost of $1 million. It is closed pending a for-mal bridge inspection. The other bridge that will soon be rebuilt is located behind Wessel-man’s Shopping Center in Mount Vernon.

The commissioners approved Schenk’s re-quest to advertise for asphalt bids. He stated they will accept bids on March 4, and they will be awarded at the following meeting slat-ed for March 19.

A road school will be conducted on March 5 – 6 with Carl Schmitz planning to attend. For this reason, the commissioners approved changing their meeting from March 5, to March 4, at 9 a.m.

Brian Hirshberg, a representative from Pro-Liance Energy, a natural gas broker and Vec-tren subsidiary, delivered a presentation to the commissioners. ProLiance will offer cost-savings to seven county buildings including: the Hovey House, the county highway ga-rage, the courthouse, the EMS building, the Poseyville highway garage, the old jail and the sheriff’s department.

The commissioners agreed to move for-ward with their proposal pending a contract review by the county attorney.

Building commissioner, Ed Battieger, in-formed the commissioners of a nuisance com-plaint at 1200 N. Leonard Road. A registered letter was sent and received by the property owner, Howmull Properties, LLC, however they failed to attend the meeting. Battieger

stated they have also not attempted to contact him or clean up the property. The commis-sioners agreed to proceed with the next step in the nuisance complaint process by sending a letter from the county attorney.

The commissioners appointed attorney Adam Farrar to the Emergency Medical Ser-vices Board. They are still in need of a volun-teer that is a business representative who lives in and pays taxes in Posey County to fi ll the last vacant position on the board. They also need a volunteer for a position on the Posey County Redevelopment Board.

Jim Hirsch, head of the Posey County Sheriff’s Department reserve offi cer’s pro-gram, informed the commissioners of the attributes of program. He stated the reserve offi cers covered 2,600 hours of service last year. Hirsch added they have been working hard to rebuild the program which only had $134 when Sheriff Oeth took offi ce in 2011. Currently, it has $5,500 in its coffers to help pay for much needed equipment. The reserve offi cers help save the county money in over-time costs by covering deputy’s shifts when they are off or on vacation.

The commissioners lauded the offi cers for their service to the county.

County Clerk, Betty Postletheweight, in-formed the commissioners about a counter-feit $20 bill that recently passed through the offi ce. She stated the $20 bill resembled any other $20, and went unnoticed until it was de-posited into the bank. The bank contacted the Postletheweight and now measures will be put into place to help curb this from happen-ing in the future. The Clerk’s offi ce current-ly marks $50 and $100 bills and will begin marking $20 bills with a special counterfeit detecting marker.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 19, at 6 p.m. This is a change from their regularly scheduled time of 9 a.m. to al-low citizens who work during the day the op-portunity to attend the meeting.

By Dave PearceOn Sunday evening at Zion-Lippe United

Church of Christ, a large group consisting of mostly farmers gathered to give thanks for this year’s bountiful harvest.

That could be a little confusing since 2012 was one of the worst years for farmers in many many years. However, this group was giving thanks for something even more pre-cious than the harvest. They were giving thanks for the ability their group had to help so many families over the past year.

The Partners in Food program was started by a group of four who gathered at the church about eight years ago when one of the food assistance groups for the area announced that the program would be ending. From that group of four the fi rst year, 67 now are part-ners in the group.

“One of the things that makes this such a special program is that there is absolutely no overhead,” spokesperson Jim Droege told the audience on Sunday. “The church here pro-vides us with someone to answer the phone and everything else is donated.”

Donations come in the form of farmers donating the proceeds of one acre of their crops to the program through shares which can be purchased by individuals. When the fi nal numbers are fi nally calculated for 2012, Droege said he believes the group will be just about the same place it was last year. And that’s quite an accomplishment considering the year area farmers endured.

To give some idea of the scope of this pro-gram, the fresh meat from nearly 30 head of

beef, 152 hogs, and over 18,000 pounds of potatoes were distributed through local food pantries this year. Processing of the meat, done at a discount through Dewig Meats in Haubstadt and some by Paul Goebel, resulted in almost 8700 pounds of ground beef and nearly 18,000 pounds of ground pork. Dewig, who spoke briefl y at the meeting, estimated that translated into somewhere between 60 and 80 thousand pork burgers. The group also found a way to obtain and distribute 4000 pounds of Ball Park franks this year.

Droege expressed that even the annual din-ner, organized to thank those who provide sponsorship, was at no cost to the organiza-tion. The food and the labor was donated.

Several distributors were on hand to sing the praises of the organization at the Sunday evening event.

The Rev. Myers Hyman, who operates “At the Cross Mission” in Mount Vernon, told the crowd it had been a blessed year for his or-ganization. He indicated that his organization, now operating out of Hedges Central School Building in Mount Vernon, served some 23,000 meals and about 30 meals per night carry-out. He said he fi rst found out about the organization through the Posey County Com-munity Foundation and besides the meals, the Mission serves about 125 families a month in Mount Vernon.

Lora Norrrington, substituting for Mount Vernon Food Pantry Director Erin Hollinger, said that group served a “highest ever” 7,876 people and 700 households last year. That in-cluded 2200 pounds of fresh meat provided

By Pam RobinsonAt the Monday, Feb. 4,

meeting, the Mount Vernon School Board accepted bids from low bidder Goebel Mechanical, Inc., for the re-placement of the Mount Ver-non High School, or MVHS, boilers. The base bid from Goebel is in the amount of $258,700 and the company’s Alternate #1 bid is in the amount of $8,200 for the re-moval of the second boiler to total $266,900. The project will be funded by the Capital Projects Fund.

Near the end of the meet-ing, the board voted to adver-tise for the resurfacing and repair of the MVHS track. Bids will be taken on March 7, 2013, with work expected to be completed this summer. Superintendent Tom Ko-patich added that the bleach-ers at the football stadium will receive attention at the same time. After the meet-ing, Kopatich confi rmed that the last surfacing of the track occurred 10 years ago.

In other business:The board confi rmed the

employment of Susanne Hayden as Information Sys-tems Specialist and Toni Solis as Speech/Language Pathologist. Supt. Kopatich said the school district is “very happy and very pleased” with the employ-ment of Hayden, who is

working with her predeces-sor, Jim Valentine, before he reports to his new position. Likewise, Kopatich said offi cials are very pleased Toni Solis will serve as the speech/language pathologist at Marrs for the remainder of the school year.

The board accepted the resignation from Susanne Hayden as Technology Inte-gration Specialist effective Feb. 4, 2013. Supt. Kopatich noted the position had been posted on the district website the same day.

As required by law, the board approved voiding seven checks that have been outstanding for two years or more as of Dec. 31, 2012. Supt. Kopatich pointed out that all seven checks were is-sued from extracurricular ac-counts; the checks had been given for reimbursements, but were never cashed. It was added that the bank charges no fee for the void-ing of the checks.

Supt. Kopatich noted that representatives from Indiana University will tour MVHS and representatives from Jasper will tour the junior high and elementary schools to see the use of technology in the classroom. In addition, he said K-8 teachers would again be applying for CF In-dustries’ grants to fund spe-cial classroom projects.

Supt. Kopatich announced that 100 percent of buses owned by the school district passed state inspection in January. Kopatich praised the bus drivers and mainte-nance employees who keep the buses in such good con-dition. It was noted that Nix contract buses have not yet been inspected.

Supt. Kopatich presented each board member with two booklets, previously submit-ted to Board President Kathy

Weinzapfel. Board members will review the booklets as they decide on the evaluation process for the superinten-dent. The evaluation process is done in executive session of the board whereas salary matters are discussed in pub-lic school board meetings.

The Mount Vernon School Board will meet again Mon-day, Feb. 18, 2013, at 5:45 p.m. in the junior high media center although school will not be in session that day.

years working in her husba

Esther Paul

By Sandy Shafer“Everyone talks about the weather but no one does

anything about it.” July 2012 stands as the hottest July on record since 1895 in the lower 48 United States. In the Midwest, 2012 brought the worst drought in 50 years, and sudden winter temperatures in October have us wondering if we will have a fall! We have collected data and records since 1895 but who dares predict what Mother Nature will do? Well, let’s go back a few years.

In 1941, during WWII, 22 young men from throughout the United States were chosen to become weather observers. Their educational backgrounds ranged from high school graduates to having some college courses, to college graduates. Initial training began at Mitchell Field in New York and continued at the Royal Air Force (RAF) in Molesworth, England. It was there the Second Weather Squadron began to gauge the ‘weather ‘neath the wings’ of the A-20 light bombers (and later the B-17’s as they arrived).

The Army Air Forces were completely dependent upon intelligence provided by this newly formed group regarding the atmospheric ‘terrain’ in which they operated. Accurate forecasts could determine whether (weather) a bombing target would be obscured by clouds or fog or whether (weather) conditions were favorable enough for aircraft to fl y. Winds affected attacks by air in Europe and amphibious attacks in North Africa. Mud, due to rain or thaw, reduced mobility of armies from Russia to Okinawa. Floods and rain drenched troops, concealed movement and limited observation and air tactical support. Extreme heat and cold diverted the attention of fi ghting the human enemy to fi ghting the natural enemy. Who were those that ‘Weathered the War?’

Charles C. Wilson (1920-2006), my father, graduated in 1938 from Mount Vernon High School. This two-room school house in southern Indiana prepared him to become a pioneer in the fi eld of weather observation. He qualifi ed and was recruited for Offi cer Training School and for Weather Observer. On enlisting he listened to the advice of his father and took on the challenge of weather observation. Being raised

on a farm, he already had an appreciation of the important role of weather. When the war broke out in December of 1941, he and other members of the squadron were in New York, training at Mitchell Field as weather observers. In February of 1942, RAF Molesworth was selected to be the fi rst British airfi eld transferred to US control. When Daddy arrived in the UK in May of 1942, he would have been one of the fi rst US servicemen there. The initial US combat mission from the UK was fl own from RAF Molesworth on July 4th, 1942, involving A-20 light bombers. Soon the 303rd Bomb Group arrived at Molesworth and fl ew their fi rst combat mission in November of 1942. Of course the weather data that Daddy observed, collected, and plotted would be used to guide these crews. The actual weather briefi ngs were usually done by the group weather offi cer at the mass crew briefi ngs. What a signifi cant role.

Charles C. Wilson went on to become a lifelong weather observer, gauging weather patterns and plotting maps. He spent most of his time as a meteorologist working for the National Weather Service housed at Bluegrass Field in Lexington, Ky. He shared the weather for the day, based on the data he had collected on the Arty Kay show, featured on WVLK radio. His reports were also on TV shared by weatherman Frank Faulkner for over 30 years until retirement.

Well, this year the Air Force Weather Agency celebrates 75 years of weather support to the warfi ghter. Congratulations to all those who have served and are serving.

Daughter’s memoir of weathering World War II

Photo of the past...

This photo shows the control tower at RAF Moles-worth as it appeared during WWII. The small "shack" on the roof was the weather observer's room. Gages for wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humid-ity, barometric pressure, etc. were located here. The observer would come out to the platform to take visu-al observations. He would use a theodolite to track the weather balloons that let them observe upper air winds and accurately gauge the base of the clouds. Offi cial US-AAF Photo

By Pam RobinsonAt its Thursday, Feb. 7,

meeting, the Mount Ver-non Board of Public Works and Safety approved a con-tract with Bernardin Lo-chmueller & Associates, or BLA, to conduct an in-ventory of city sidewalks, intersections and curb ramps. The inventory will assess if city sidewalks, in-tersections and curb ramps comply with Americans with Disabilities, or ADA, standards. In addition, Judy Thomann from BLA stated the inventory would cover ADA compliance in build-ings, noting, for example, elevator access, Braille signs, and push buttons on doors. Once the inventory is completed, city offi cials will determine what needs attention fi rst.

When questioned about sidewalk compliance, Thomann confi rmed the in-ventory will address cracks in sidewalks as well as sidewalk width and would tie into zoning. She added that sidewalks need to be 6 ft. wide to comply with ADA standards.

The contract with BLA was approved with attor-ney revision concerning buildings covered in the in-ventory. BLA will receive $30,000 for its services.

In concluding the legal portion of the agenda, City Attorney Beth McFadin Higgins stated the city is preparing to be aggressive concerning dilapidated buildings and needs to bring things up-to-date. To that end, the board then ap-proved a public hearing on March 7 at 4 p.m. on a new performance bond sched-ule for structures in refer-ence to continuances.

A few hours later, the Mount Vernon City Coun-cil approved on fi rst read-ing an ordinance concern-ing dilapidated buildings. The proposed ordinance reaffi rms the city’s com-mitment to enforcing state

law and cites additional international building codes—in some sections, pulling language almost word for word from the City of Evansville’s code.

Present at the city coun-cil meeting, Building Com-missioner Sherry Willis spoke of receiving advice also from personnel in In-dianapolis as she helped to prepare the proposed ordinance on dilapidated buildings. It was noted that $130,000 has been ap-propriated for enforcing the ordinance. Mayor John Tucker noted that 69 prop-erties had already been ad-dressed during his adminis-tration.

In other business:•The board approved

member Steve Fuelling’s motion to insure the Parks & Recreation department’s sole use of $15,000 appro-priated in line 432 of the EDIT budget. Clerk-Trea-surer Cristi Sitzman ad-vised that in the event other lines in that category go over budget (as in 2012), an additional appropriation would be needed for Parks and Recreation to receive a full $15,000.

•At the recommendation of board member Steve Fuelling, the board voted to continue paying water and electric bills at the riv-erfront, Phase I, through 2013 until the Parks and Recreation budget is set for 2014.

•The board approved the use of the city credit card when four city fi re de-partment members attend FDIC training in Indianap-olis, April 26 and 27.

The Mount Vernon Board of Public Works and Safety will meet again Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013, 4 p.m. in the City Hall An-nex. Later the same eve-ning, Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013, the Mount Vernon City Council will meet in the City Hall Annex at 7 p.m.

APL to hold Fine Art, Craft Exhibition on April 12

Every year, at Thrall’s Opera House, there is a new exhibit that explores the unique and fascinating lives of the Golden Troupe. This year we are looking at different plays performed by the family, particularly those performed by Grace Golden.

Grace Golden was a classically trained opera singer who sang as both a mezzo-soprano and soprano. At the age of 14, Grace started her training at the Cincinnati College of Music where she studied with opera impresario, Max Maretzek and his wife Appolonia.

In 1883, Grace, under the stage name Grace Goldini, made her debut in the Metropolitan Opera Company’s premiere “Rigoletto.” Other bigger roles soon followed, and in 1889 she earned the lead role in the New York Casino Theatre’s production of “Erminie.” The New York Herald reviewed Grace’s performance saying she was “a young singer with pleasing manners and a decidedly good soprano.”

Later in 1891, Grace sang the part of Lola in the fi rst production of “Cavalleria Rusticana” at the Casino Theatre in New York. A reviewer stated she had been “a decided success in

the part, and at the matinee performance she sang the [leading] role of Santuzza in place of Laura Bellini, with almost equal success.”

However, the rigorous stage life began to take its toll on Grace and she decided to take a break from performing with a vacation in Europe. While in Europe, Grace kept busy by continuing her vocal training with masters in London and Paris. The New York Dramatic Mirror reported, “ Miss Golden, while in Paris, sang at many receptions, soirees, and concerts, and perfected her knowledge of French, German, and Italian…she has ranked among the most admirable singers on our

operatic stage.” Sadly, Grace would never

take the stage professionally again. Grace contracted tuberculosis and died in August 1903 at the age of 36. She is buried at the New Harmony Maple Hill Cemetery.

The Golden Troupe exhibit is included on Historic New Harmony’s daily walking tours, which resume March 15.

Saint Matthew Auction March 9 ‘Ribeyes for Ribeyre’ Dinner and Auction Feb. 23

by Partners in Food.Mary Ellen Gerard, who has a hand in

overseeing the New harmony Food Pantry, said demand was up sharply this year in New harmony, as well. The group served 216 Posey County families from the New Har-mony site.

“When I saw the Paul Harvey commercial during the Super Bowl that said ‘God Made a Farmer,’ I thought about you,” Gerard said with a smile.

At St. Peter’s Church where God’s Store-house was completed last year, the need was far larger than ever before. Nearly 35oo fami-lies were served from that location, up some 36 percent from last year. Sharon Kron and Kathy Whittenheimer said that there are oth-ers in the community that are needy but will not come to the pantry.

“Please use it,” Krohn pleaded, “That’s why it is there. There’s certainly nothing wrong with getting a little assistance until you can get back on your feet.”

Allen Oursler, representing Salem Huesler United Church of Christ, indicated that gen-erally they serve around 30 to 45 families on the night they are open. He said, however, this past week, some 60 families were wait-ing when the doors were opened and that some had to be turned away because the group was not prepared for such a sharp in-crease in one night.

Droege said the program had been suc-cessful, but then he caught himself. He said no food pantry program would ever be com-pletely successful until the need for a food pantry no longer existed.

“We’re already well into another year, 2013, and we will have another dinner just like this one about this time next year,” Droege said. “And I’d lay odds there will be fresh ice cream.. (as dairy farmer and Posey

County Commissioner Carl Schmitz dipped the fi nal scoops of ice cream out of the con-tainer he provided for the meal.”

Beef providers for this year were Carl and Al Schmitz, Tom Smith, Marvin Redman, Harmony Hill Farms, Wayne Wiggins, Mar-tin Redman, Dutchman Farms, James Clif-ford, Greg Martin, Randy Martin, Harold Dillworth, and the Posey County 4-H Live-stock Sale.

Providing pork was Eisterhold Farms, LLC., Scott Lewis, Robert Wehmer, River-view Farm, Pro Ag, Inc., Kaufman Farms, and the Posey County 4-H Livestock Auction.

Sponsorships this year were provided by The Posey County Community Foundation, CountryMark Co-op, At the Cross Minis-tries, New Harmony Ministerial Association, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church of New har-mony, Posey County Farm Bureau Co-op, Inc., Robert Blaffer Foundation, Zion-Lippe Endowment, St. John’s Episcopal Church of Mount Vernon, Daylight Farm Supply, and Consolidated Grain and Barge.

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

St. John’s would like to extend an invitation to all in the community to attend this event. Donations given for a meal will benefi t St. John’s Youth Group activities. Traditionally

the men of the church prepare the meal with the youth helping as servers.

Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the ritual of shriving, when church members would confess their sins to the priest and receive forgiveness before the beginning of the Lenten season. Historically, Shrove Tuesday also marked the beginning of the 40-day Lenten fasting period when the faithful were forbidden by the church to consume meat, butter, eggs and milk. However, if a family had a

store of these foods they all would go bad by the time the fast ended on Easter Sunday.

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

Saint John’s to hold Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper tonight

By Pastor Matt Watson, MVGB ChurchMy wife, Melissa, and I made a trip to Israel in November. So

many folks in the community have asked me about our trip. We are grateful for the interest. We are indebted to the generosity of our church family who prayed and paid our way to the Promised Land. We made the trip to Tel Aviv, Israel on November 10, 2012. This is our story.

First we landed in Tel Aviv at Ben Gurion Airport. Tel Aviv sits adjacent old city Jaffa—better known for the biblical ac-count of Jonah and the big fi sh. On day two we visited Caesarea Maritima. This Caesarea is the city where Rabbi Akiva was fi l-leted alive by the Romans during the Jewish Revolt that started 122AD. Maritima was fully romanized with Herod’s fresh wa-ter bath, a theatre and a dreadful amphitheatre.

Second, we toured Mount Carmel. Elijah called down fi re on the prophets of Baal on this Mount. You can read of this account in the book of Kings. We also visited Mount Meggido. This mount is better known as Har-Meggedon or Armageddon. Ar-mageddon is the site of twenty-fi ve globe altering wars between the likes of Assyrians and Egyptians. John the Revelator wrote about Armageddon as the battle place for the war to end all wars.

Third, we dipped in the Jordan River. This place named Yardenit is the location where John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ. The biblical account is spectacularly Trinitarian in Its depiction of the Spirit descending like a dove and a voice say-ing, “this is my Son in whom I am well pleased.” Jesus’ Lord-ship was well affi rmed in the little river Jordan in which we stood. It was special. We also went on a Boat Ride in the Sea of Galilee and learned about net-casting—an essential fi rst century trade. We visited Jesus’ earthly ministry cites at Capernahum and the Mount of the Beatitudes. We went to the place it thought Jesus reinstated the Apostle Peter (John 21) called Peter’s Pri-macy. We had dinner with Gary Bayer, and wife Cindy, of Mt. Vernon, Indiana. This the third day.

Fourth, we visited the oft referred to Golan Heights region of Northern Israel. One ancient city is Gamla which means “cam-el.” Gamla is shaped like a camel. Gamla is referred to as “little Masada” because of the similar slaughter that took place there. Gamla was completed destroyed by the Romans in their quest to destroy Judaism. Next we saw the Valley of Tears where sits

a memorial to young soldiers lost in defense of modern Israel. The soldiers were surprise attacked in the Six Days War. Israe-lis call the Valley of Tears “little Normandy.” Next we visited excavated cities of Tel Dan and Tel Hatzor. A “tel” is simply a civilization on top of a civilation on top of a civilization and so on. Tel Dan is where King Jeroboam built a competing city to Jerusalme in 930 BC as we read about in the book of Kings. Tel Hatzor is one of Solomon’s cities like Megiddo and Gezer. Tel Hatzor has twenty layers of civilization! We had dinner at our splendid tour guide house. Our guide and his wife, Boaz and Maggie Shalgi, were tremendous hosts. They live in a kibbutz with ninety other families. Kibbutz means “togetherness” and it is like a gated capitalistic community with shared communal responsibilities. Great was this the fourth day.

Fifth, we visited places in our march to and near Jerusalem. Judges records stories of Gideon and Jabesh. Gideon is famous for choosing a few select hundred left-handed soldiers to defeat a much larger army. God plus one is a majority! The people of God won the victory with just a select few faithful soldiers. God gets the credit when seemingly small things are used for large redemptive purposes. We visited a fully excavated Roman city called Beit She-an. Judges 19 and 1 Samuel 31 connect the story of Saul to the children of Jabesh-Gilead. The children of Jabesh-Gilead did a heroic act to recover the bodies of Saul and sons from the Philistines. They did this under the cover of the night to give them a proper burial. The city was massive and inspiring. This the fi fth day.

Sixth, we visited desert places such as Masada, En Gedi, Qumran, and The Dead Sea. Masada is where the famed Ro-man legion was stymied by just under a thousand heroic Jewish people. Masada was the last stronghold of the Jews when it fell near 72 AD. Masada fell near forty years after the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Masada holds its place in history as the place where the people committed mass sui-cide rather than subject their wives to brutality and children to slavery. Next was the oasis in the desert called En Gedi. The oasis is thought to be the place David cut the hem off of then King Saul’s garment while Saul was asleep. Rabbis think David had problems staying warm late in life because he dared to even alter the garment of the king of Israel. An oasis in the desert is

spectacular. One can only survive an hour in the desert without a water supply. Next we visited the site Bedouins discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls—Qumran. The Dead Sea Scrolls were a fantastic 20th century Hebrew text fi nd. Every book of the Old Testament save Esther is contained in this fi nd. Finally, we dipped in the saltiest body of water on planet earth—The Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is thirty-three percent salt, ten times saltier than an ocean, and thus you can fl oat in the sea. Many who suffer from skin disorders visit The Dead Sea or purchase products manufactured from it. These products improve skin quality. This the sixth day.

Seventh, we visited Jerusalem proper. As essential as Sab-bath or a “stop day” is to Jewish culture, we did not take one. There was too much to see and too little time to see it. A trip to Israel is more a learning experience than a vacation. Our Bible study tour climaxed, as it should, in the epicenter of religious history—Jerusalem. We went to the Western Wall, nearby Beth-lehem, The Blood Field, The Temple Institute, The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, The Israel Museum, and The Garden Tomb. All these sites are easily searchable online so let us simply focus on The Garden Tomb now. The Garden Tomb is special because it contains no bones. The central claim to the Christian faith is: “Jesus is Not Here, He is Risen!” No trip to Israel is complete without taking note of what is unseen. Faith is the evidence of things unseen, the substance of things hoped for. Righteousness from God, the only true righteousness imputed to true believers, depends on faith. Our Messianic Jewish tour guide, Boaz, and the staff of British Charities at The Garden Tomb did a fantastic job articulating our faith. For the true believer, the resurrection is the apex of human history where heaven came down so glory could fi ll my soul. For the true believer, every Sunday is Easter Sunday.

Seven is a number of completion in Scripture. Seven is the number of days in a week and the number of days in creation. A week is all we really had in Israel. The main thing I would say to you if you asked me about our trip to Israel. “You should go!” It’s the trip of a lifetime. So forget about the dream vacation to Hawaii or the cruise to the Bahamas. For the believer there’s no destination this side of heaven like Experience Destination Israel (EDI) (go to editravel-israel.com for more info).

Mount Vernon High School students placed in the top 25 for the second con-secutive year in the Stock Market Game Investment Challenge. Students started with $100,000 and had 16 weeks to invest. While most of the students had differ-ent companies, they had the same theme of choosing stocks that had a temporary problem.

Over 2000 students partic-

ipated in the Midwest region-al, with the top 25 earning a trip to Southern California for the DECA International Competition in April. MVHS had fi ve portfolios in the top 25, with Cody Chase fi nish-ing the highest in 6th place earning almost $21,000. Cody’s top performer was the cell phone manufacturer, Research in Motion.

Wade Mobley’s portfolio placed 14th in the Midwest,

earning almost $17,000. Dy-com, a telecommunications company was Wade’s best performer.

Austin Krizan’s portfolio placed 15th earning a little more than $16,000. Bank of America was Austin’s top stock pick.

Julian Suar’s portfolio fi n-ished in 24th place, earning almost $14,000 during the simulation. Julian’s top pick was also Research in Motion.

By Valerie WerkmeisterHistory class will never be

the same for 14 North Posey High School students. The teens, along with chaperones, history teacher, Brandon Bar-rett and assistant principal, Erin Koester stepped out of the classroom and traveled to our nation’s capital.

The Viking travelers wit-nessed the inauguration cer-emonies of President Barack Obama on January 21, on jumbotrons at the National Mall. Although they weren’t within viewing distance of the actual event, Barrett not-ed the sense of excitement in the atmosphere. Viewing the event on jumbotrons en-sured they were able to see the entire ceremony, which is something they would have never been close enough to see if they had purchased tickets to try for a closer view.

Their trip began Saturday, January 19, as they fl ew out of Louisville Airport. World-strides, an educational stu-dent travel company, coordi-nated the entire trip. Barrett was very pleased with their program and intends to book future trips with them.

In order to help cut costs, they shared their tour with

another school from Bard-stown, Ky who had a similar number of travelers. Barrett hopes to have a full number of Viking participants for the next trip now that this one went so smoothly. He hopes to plan future trips to a num-ber of historical sites includ-ing Philadelphia and Boston.

Students held fundraisers to help cut the $1,500 trip cost. This included their air-fare, hotel stay and any ticket entrance fees that were re-quired.

The group packed in a lot of history during their four-day stay. Some of the sites they were able to see includ-ed the National Archives, Ar-lington National Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where they witnessed the changing of the guard, the Library of Congress, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian, the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial, the Ko-rean Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Library of Congress, the Holocaust Mu-seum and Capitol Hill.

Barrett stated that while visiting Arlington, they saw the unexpected arrival of the president’s motorcade.

“We didn’t realize it until

afterwards, but the President was there to place a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,” he said.

One of the other highlights of the trip was being able to

see the actual Declaration of Independence at the Na-tional Archives and the Ken-nedy gravesites at Arlington. Watching the changing of the guard at Arlington was also

interesting for many of the students.

Students who went on the trip included: Tori Cosby, Jacob Goedde, Hannah Wil-liams, Jordan Frymire, Han-

nah Hostettler, Kaity Tay-lor, Lyle Bozarth, Michael Dutton, Ethan Petrig, Jes-sica Wilkins, Chelsea Pfi ster, Lauren Gibbs, Clint Hoffman and Sarah Neuffer.

TDS Telecommunica-tions Corp. (TDS®) custom-ers have reported receiving voice phishing calls. These calls are fraudulent attempts to scam TDS customers into revealing sensitive account information. People should be extra cautious of any phone call requests to verify account information.

Voice phishing or “vish-ing” scams have become increasingly sophisticated. While people have become

smarter about other phishing scams, so have criminals. They are switching tactics and using a form of commu-nication that people trust—the phone.

Vishing typically begins with an automated phone call. The recording warns of fraudulent account activity on the persons account and directs them to call a toll-free or local number imme-diately. At this time, they are asked a series of questions

about personal and account information.

Customers should be aware that TDS is not plac-ing these calls. TDS will never contact customers directly to verify account information. In fact, legiti-mate businesses do not con-tact customers to “verify” or “update” account informa-tion.

To protect against phish-ing attempts, TDS advises customers:

When receiving a mes-sage or email requesting a return call, do not use the number provided or that ap-pears on caller ID—it may be fake. Instead, use the

company’s phone number listed in the phone book or on your bill.

If contacted via email, do not follow any included links. Even if they look real, the link could take you to a counterfeit website.

If someone calls offering to check the computer by logging in remotely, hang up immediately. Do not al-low anyone remote access to a home computer unless you’ve initiated the call

For more information on phishing and tips for preven-tion, visit the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission web site, www.sec.gov/in-vestor/pubs/phishing.htm

Have you ever had a desire to be a basketball referee? If the thought has ever crossed your mind, you might want to have yourself checked out at the nearest mental institution. However, there are people who thrive on this type of work and take great pride in the job they do. It pays enough to pay for lunch and gas. But it is, believe me, a thankless job.

As many of you know, I sit on the edge of the basket-ball court many hours while taking pictures for the news-paper. If you are in the right frame of mind, some of the things that people shout at referees are outright funny.

I believe that each referee that I have gotten to know comes into a game want-ing to call the game as fair as possible. But referees are human too. And if you treat them like crap long enough, they have ways to make you pay.

But just the other night I was sitting on the fl oor and as soon as the ball was thrown into the air, the griping be-gan.

“You gotta call it on both

ends,” seems to be one of the most c o m m o n shouts from the crowd. I’m sure that is good in-

formation for the referee be-cause I am certain he came to the game with every inten-tion of calling the game only on one end of the court.

Then there are the people who sit on the very top rows and apparently have laser vision. They have the angle and the eyesight to call fouls from their seats. It is hilarious to listen to some of the things people yell at referees from 250 feet away.

“Boy, you sure blew that one,” is also common. From your seat, you can hardly see the fl oor, much less the indi-vidual players or the play.

But I understand how peo-ple can become upset with referees. Anyone who has a favorite team can. Especially if you have a child involved in the game.

I can remember what seems to be just a few years ago, my usually even-tem-pered wife was watching our son play in a league at the Salvation Army in Evans-ville. I was coaching and while I will admit I probably

got into the game too much, I never had a technical called on me, in probably eight years of coaching.

But on this day, our little team was out-manned any-how and we were playing in a league of 11- and 12-year-olds with an all 11-year-old team. I wanted to help our team by playing better com-petition. I wanted to win, too, but apparently not as bad as my wife.

A call was made in the small Salvation Army gym-nasium and if you have ever been in one of these cracker boxes and things get quiet, you can really hear every-thing.

An after what we thought was a bad call, my wife let loose on a referee like some-thing I had never heard be-fore. I was amused, embar-rassed and grateful I wasn’t the target, all at the same time.

At times in my life, I have had my basketball license and then I got my soccer of-fi cials’ license. Believe me, it’s not as easy at it appears from the stands. I think that every parent should have to call at least one half of a basketball game in front of a crowd before they are al-lowed to attend a basketball game. It would give them a

whole new appreciation for the people who have to make a call in a split second in front of a gymnasium full of people, usually divided right down the middle.

A recent game at North Posey when the girls from South Spencer came to call. There was a man in the crowd, probably a nice guy most of the time, obviously on the team. There was not a big crowd at the game so not only the small noises could be heard, but also the big ones. This guy was a big man with a big mouth. Following a call early in a game that turned out to be something

like 60-23, this man let loose on the referees.

I spend some time talk-ing to the offi cials when I sit on the fl oor at the end of the gymnasium. I have become acquainted with many of them not only through offi -ciating but also seeing them outside of the sports venues. Believe me, the majority of them have the best interest of the athletes in mind.

So the next time you de-cide to take your frustra-tions out on an offi cial, put yourself in his place. He has probably worked just as long and hard as you have before he came to the game. He’s

probably tired too. Yet he has agreed to come out and be a punching bag for all the par-ents with smart remarks and long distance vision.

He is putting his second job out there in front of ev-eryone in the gymnasium. Everyone expects perfec-tion. How would you like it if everything you did for two hours was on display in front of a crowd who could cheer or boo you as you work?

Before you go off on a ref-eree next time, put yourself in his or her shoes. Perhaps your words will be slower to come and perhaps even a little more gentle.

TRUTH...STRANGERTHANFICTIONBY DAVEPEARCE

Guest Column State Rep. Wendy McNamara

Gavel Gamut’s ‘Sam’s Solution’

Each October, communities, airwaves, newspapers and busi-nesses are thinking pink to raise awareness about breast cancer. It used to mean little to me un-til that life-changing day when my doctor said the words, “You have breast cancer.”

I didn’t understand how this could have happened to me. I was now facing a disease that I had only heard about, but never dreamed it would affect me. My world was turned upside down, and I felt alone until I contacted the American Cancer Society.

I participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk — an inspirational, non-competitive walk that takes place in our community to help

raise awareness and funds to support the fi ght against breast cancer. Through my participa-tion, I have met dozens of other people who have faced the same situations as I have.

Seeing other survivors gives me the confi dence that one day we will defeat this disease. And I know that hope starts with me ... and each and every one of us.

This year, more than 227,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and nearly 40,000 will die from the disease.

On Saturday, October 19, I plan to walk beside my friends, colleagues and fellow survi-vors at the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk at Eastland Mall. I walk because

I never want my daughter or granddaughter to hear the same words I heard many years ago. I urge everyone in southwest Indiana to join our community as we make strides toward a fu-ture with less breast cancer and more birthdays.

Right now, the American Cancer Society is recruiting committee members to help plan this year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Evansville and we need your help. To get involved or for more information, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 or 812-475-9486 or visit cancer.org/stridesonline.

Citizen promotes Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

If you read last week’s column, you may recall we had left Sam ____, a man who had stolen my treasured 1956 Ford Fairlane convertible in Indianapolis in 1965, standing in front of me in Posey County, Ind., in 1989 facing a charge of burglary.

The dilemma was not only Sam’s but, also, that of Sam’s court appointed attorney, Bill Bender, the Prosecuting Attorney, Bill Gooden and the Judge, i.e., me.

You may also recall the impetus for writing about this situation was my current involvement in helping teach an internet course on rural court judging for the National Judicial College. The issues raised by a close relationship between a party in court and the judge are the essence of what makes the job of a rural court judge different from that of judges in large jurisdictions.

Whereas in Indianapolis or even Evansville judges rarely deal with persons they know personally, with smaller populations acquaintances, friends and even relatives may appear in front of the judge. Such circumstances are not new and over the years rules have developed to help guide everyone. But, as with all walks of life, not every set of facts

falls neatly within the rules. Sometimes parties, lawyers and judges must address real life

problems with tools that don’t quite match the job. Such cases call for, well, judgment.

There would be no problem with Sam in a large jurisdiction. The judge would just call down the hall and another judge would immediately handle the case. No one would be inconvenienced and justice would be neither denied nor delayed.

But, when there are only a few judges it may turn out if the judge who has a connection to the case does not serve, justice will be delayed or even denied if someone must sit in jail waiting for a judge from another county to be appointed.

The automatic recusals of larger courts can get blurred in rural counties. Of course, no matter the inconvenience there are cases no judge should remain in. From time to time Judge Brent Almon of the Posey Superior Court and I

must either trade places or find a replacement, such as Senior Judge Maurice O’Connor from Vanderburgh County, or some other out-of-county judge when a relative or too close of an associate appears before us. In such matters the parties and their attorneys must spend more time and money and wait longer for relief, but it cannot be helped.

However, as with most rules designed for human behavior, the judicial recusal rules are open to rational interpretation. If justice can be assured, the rules allow the rules to be waived. Such was Sam’s plea in his case. He just wanted to get out of Posey County as soon as the law, i.e., I, allowed.

When I told Sam and the attorneys I would step aside he said something like, “Hold on, Judge, this is a plea bargain and I ain’t going to do any better with some other judge. If you will just get this over, I can get the ____ out of here and start serving my time at the state prison where my friends are.”

It is true I miss my 1956 Ford convertible more than I miss Sam, but I do think of him from time to time and realize that, “there but for fortune” our positions might have been reversed.

Everyday law enforce-ment offi cers watch out for our well-being and protect us from harm. This session, the Evansville Police Department and the Indiana Sheriffs’ As-sociation asked me to author two bills, House Bills (HB) 1111 and 1151, which deal with various police/SWAT team issues. Recently, both bills passed out of the House of Representatives with unani-mous support and are now moving to the Senate for con-sideration.

HB 1111, requested by the Evansville Police Department,is a unique bill that will give individuals trained in tactical emergency medicine the recognition and legality to perform in immedi-ate life-saving circumstances. These individuals include members of the SWAT team who are trained to handle these kinds of situations.

The fi rst responders, who have been trained to handle critical active shooter situa-tions, are currently not recog-nized or able to legally per-form these life-saving skills.

HB 1111 will give these indi-viduals the green light to use their skills to immediately and appropriately act in times of distress.

The bill allows for the prac-tice of tactical emergency medicine if the individual:

1. is an emergency medical technician, an advanced emer-gency medical technician, 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 confronta-tions; and

3. has successfully com-pleted an accredited educa-tional training program in tac-tical emergency medicine.

HB 1151, requested by the Indiana Sheriffs’ association,creates a ‘Blue Alert’ notifi cation system. The ‘Blue Alert’ program is designed to notify the public when a law enforcement offi -cer has been killed, seriously injured or becomes missing in the line of duty. The concept of the ‘Blue Alert’ is fairly

similar to the Amber and Sil-ver alert programs.

The ‘Blue Alert’ program will allow families and com-munities to come together and be made aware of serious situ-ations involving law enforce-ment offi cers, as well as pro-vide peace of mind to the men and women who serve and to their families.

This system will be oper-ated by the Indiana State Po-lice Department (ISP), and they will be responsible for determining the geographic boundaries of the system and how widespread the alert will be. The ISP will also need to adopt the guidelines for the operation of this alert, includ-ing receiving and verifying information.

The response from con-stituents and legislators alike regarding these bills has been encouraging, and I look for-ward to the continued discus-sion these issues. If you have any questions about these bills or any other legislation I have authored, please contact me via email at h76@in.gov or by phone at (317) 232-9671.

Tomorrow, mainstream Prot-estant and Catholic Christians will enter the liturgical season of Lent. During Ash Wednes-day services, Christians will receive the sign of the cross in ashes on their foreheads. The service will call us to 40 days of repentance and refl ection to prepare for the celebration of Christ’s Easter Resurrection.

During Lent, many Chris-tians ‘give up’ some creature comfort, such as chocolate, wine, even soft drinks, to keep in mind Christ’s suffering and giving up his very life to free humanity from sin. Commonly, Christians also ‘give up’ dis-cretionary spending to donate a little extra money to the needy.

Increasingly, Christians are choosing to ‘add’ a spiritual discipline during this time to draw closer to Christ. Someone might decide, for example, to spend time in daily prayer, to memorize Scripture verses, or to join a Bible study.

This year, a long-time friend of mine is providing me with an example of how to both ‘give up’ and ‘add’ during Lent in an effort to become more like Christ. First of all, she is giv-ing up her participation in so-cial media, namely Facebook, so she can be present to friends in phone conversations or in person. For those who rely on Facebook to catch up with friends, such abstinence would amount to great sacrifi ce. It means giving up quick glimps-es of a friend’s life to truly look at and become available to that person. After all, availability is essential for authentic friend-ship. We can’t get to know

someone if we don’t spend time with the person. Without investing our time in a person, we remain acquaintances.

My friend has decided to ‘add’ intentionality during her prayer time. In other words, she plans to slow down and think sincerely about what she wants to talk over with God in prayer. She wants to take the time to re-main present to God while she prays rather than just mouthing words to say she’s spent time in her prayer closet. An authentic friendship with God requires our investment of time also.

For Christians mindful of liturgical seasons, we want our Lenten practice to strengthen our relationship with God. Whatever we may ‘give up’ or ‘add’ during Lent, our goal is the imitation of Christ. He commands us to love neigh-bors above self and to love God above all. May we all, like my friend, devote ourselves to such great love.

Two bills will further support law enforcement

LIVINGFOR THE

JOURNEYBY PAM

ROBINSON

Lent should lead to love

The view from the f oor nearly as good as view from stands

This week is a big week for love. There are all kinds of love. Webster’s Diction-ary defi nes the noun love as “strong affection for another arising out of kinship or per-sonal ties”. Husbands and wives will be trying to fi gure out how to show love on this a special day for their spouse. Parents will do something special for their children and friends will be showing their love for special friendships on this day set once a year on February 14.

As I think about this up-coming special day and who I would like to show how special they are to me a few people come to mind.

Of course my husband is at the top of my list. As most of you know he is a very busy man and we don’t see that much of each other nor-mally. He works until at least 7:00 o’clock several eve-nings at D’Patrick Ford and goes straight to ball games or meetings from there. This weekend was the exception. We were able to attend the fundraiser at the fairgrounds for raising funds for the kids at the fair. We did have to meet there and he did have to take pictures but we were able to catch a conversa-tion or two for a couple of hours. On Sunday evening we attended the appreciation dinner for Partners in Food. Again Dave was busy taking notes and taking pictures but

we had a nice time being to-gether for a couple of hours.

When I think about why my Valentine is so special to me several things come to mind. I really appreciate how hard he works and his love for the community. I know fi rst-hand the toll it is taking on him and his health but overall I know when the paper arrives on Tuesday that he is pleased to be able to bring the paper to you including all of those pictures he loves to take.

He also loves selling cars. Basically it comes down to the fact that Dave loves peo-ple. When he is able to con-nect people with a car that makes them happy he gets a feeling of accomplishment.

Dave and I get one week a year to vacation together. We were able to get away on a cruise a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately I got the worst case of fl u I can ever remem-ber having in many years. It hit me on Tuesday afternoon and I basically didn’t feel good until time for me to re-turn to work on Monday. An-other reason I love my hus-band is that he took such good care of me and never got up-set that the one week vacation

we take a year he had to play nurse. We were able to each purchase a piece of jewelry to celebrate Valentine’s Day while we were on the cruise.

I think one of best quali-ties about Dave that shows me how much he loves me is the fact that he allows me to be independent. He never tells me what to do or when to do it. Being independent is something my parents taught which allowed me to be-come the person I am today and Dave has never tried to change.

For me celebrating Valen-tine’s Day is not about Dave sending me fl owers, buying me a gift or taking me to din-ner one day a year but all of the things he does all year around that shows his love. Dave thanks for being my Valentine every day of the year.

Other people who come to mind on this “love” day are my son, my parents, extended family and my close friends. All of them make my life complete each and every day of the year, not just on Febru-ary 14. Not only do I feel love from all of these people but Agape, unconditional, love. What more could a person ask for in this crazy world? Just as 1 Corinthians 13:13 in the New International Ver-sion of the Bible states: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the great-est of these is love.”

Continued on Page B3

By Steven KocherspergerWith four games left on the

schedule this season the Mount Vernon boys’ basketball team is trying to end their season the way they started it, winning games con-vincingly.

On Thursday night the Wildcats traveled to Mount Carmel, Ill., to take on their Big Eight counter-parts in hopes of picking up yet another Big Eight win. And when the fi nal horn sounded the Wildcats found themselves winners, beating the Golden Aces 68-48.

All year long coach Marc Hostetter has been preaching the need to get better each time the team is together on the court and Thursday night seemed to be a night of redemption for the Cats. Mount Vernon never trailed in the game and shared the ball enough that four Wildcats were able to fi nd double fi gures as well.

The game opened with the Wild-cats going on a 7-0 run behind the three point shooting of Collin Var-ner and the smart play of Jevin

Redman. The Aces would answer with the next four points but at the end of the fi rst period of play the Wildcats held a 13-6 lead on the home team.

It was in the second period of play that the Wildcats looked to put the game out of reach, and that they did. The Wildcats stretched their lead to 20 points behind the smart defensive team play that caused Mount Carmel to turn the ball over that led to easy Wildcat baskets. Mount Vernon took a 36-16 halftime lead into the locker room and resolved to not let Mount Carmel back in the game.

This resolution would be met by the visiting Wildcats. Mount Car-mel came out of halftime scoring the fi rst four points but the Wild-cats would not let the Aces climb back into the game. And though the Aces outscored Mount Vernon 17-16 in the third period of play the Wildcats still had a sizeable lead going into the fourth and fi nal pe-riod of play.

And the fourth period was all

Colton Irvin. The Mount Vernon junior scored ten of his 18 points in the fi nal period of play helping the Wildcats gain the advantage at the end and add their fi fth Big Eight Conference win of the sea-son 68-48.

Leading in scoring Thursday night was junior Colton Irvin who had a season high 18 points and fi ve blocks. Bryce Newman added 16 for the Wildcats while Varner had 15 and Redman scored 10.

The win helps Mount Vernon to improve their overall record to 16-3 and 5-1 in the Big Eight. And with three game left on the sched-ule Mount Vernon seems to be in a the position they want to be in come sectional time.

Mount Vernon will be in action once again this week as they host Reitz Friday night on senior night. The junior varsity game will tip off at 6 p.m. and the senior recognition of basketball players, cheerlead-ers, and dance cats will happen at 7 p.m. The varsity game will tip off at 7:30 p.m.

By Dave PearceThe North Posey Vikings played pretty good basketball

for three out of four quarters on both Wednesday and Friday nights at the Forest Park sectional. However, it was the sec-ond quarter each night that made their lives miserable, and eventually cost them an opportunity to play for the Class 2A Sectional Championship.

It might also be said that the sectional was a time for re-venge as the Lady Vikings gained a win over a Pocket Ath-letic team that had beaten them earlier in the season (South-ridge), only to lose to a team they had beaten. Both games were on the road.

In Wednesday evening’s upset of the Southridge Raiders, basketball fans in attendance found out just how crazy this game can get.

In the game earlier in the year at Huntingburg, North Posey fell behind and fought back furiously in the fourth quarter to make the score respectable. And those who saw that game thought that might be the case early on at the Forest Park Sec-tional. But the fans did not know what kind of night Hannah Harness was going to have.

After Hannah hit the fi rst shot of the game, the Raiders fought back to take a 6-2 lead and it looked like it could be a game like the fi rst one all over again. And it almost was. However, there was a different winner.

But when the Vikings got down 6-2, Kelsey Owen hit from the baseline and then got a rebound bucket inside to tie the score at six with just under three minutes remaining in the opening period.

But the Raiders simply were not prepared for what was about to hit them. “Hurricane Hannah” swooped down into the Ranger gymnasium as the next three trips down the fl oor,

the 5-foot-7 junior buried back-to-back-to back- 3-point bas-kets to force a Southridge time out. But more importantly, it gave the Lady Vikings a 15-9 lead.

Then before the end of the quarter, Brianna Perry found Madison Worman open and she completed the play and the Vikings had opened up a 17-9 lead after one quarter of play.

But then it was time for the second quarter.The Lady Vikings simply could not fi nd the basket. With

Hannah Harness on the bench with two early fouls, it dis-rupted the fl ow of the game and the Vikings found themselves in the proverbial pickle.

Thank goodness for good defense because the Vikings failed to score at all in the second quarter. Some nights that would be impossible to overcome but the defense held South-ridge to only six points in the quarter and the Vikings main-tained a narrow 17-15 lead at the half.

“That was something else,” Coach Tracey Stroud said af-ter the game. “We couldn’t get anything to go and really, we didn’t even get a good shot off. But that just shows how much heart our girls had. They just kept plugging away and playing hard. I can’t tell you how proud I am of them.”

The third quarter continued to be a defensive struggle as Harness picked up her third foul just two minutes into the third quarter when the Southridge ballhandler tripped over Harness’s foot as they headed up-court. Just a minute later, Perry picked up her fourth foul and it simply was not looking good for the Lady Vikings. But it got worse.

Owen, Worman, and Harness scored two points apiece in the quarter. Hayley Harness was fouled on a drive as the quarter wound down but she was unable to convert and the North Posey’s Hannah Harness prepares to go up for a

shot during her 22-point outburst that helped carry the Vikings to the next round. Photo by Dave Pearce

By Steven KocherspergerHistory seemed to repeat itself for the

Mount Vernon Wildcat girls’ basketball team this week. For the second year in a row the Lady Cats entered sectional play with high

hopes, this year entering the post season with the best record in Mount Vernon girls’ basketball history. And in what looked to be the toughest opening round draw in the area the Wildcats did all they could but could not

rebound from a third quarter Bosse run and lost the game 44-39.

“We just didn’t shoot the ball very well tonight,” Wild-cat coach Steve Mitchell said after the game.” We had a couple of turnovers in bad situations and were timid of-fensively at times. The third quarter dry spell we had re-ally hurt us and that really set the tone for the fourth quar-ter. I think our defense was good for the most part but offensively we couldn’t get it together like we wanted.”

The game opened nicely for the Wildcats as senior Jade Dixon hit a three point-er to give the Cats the lead in the opening period of play. Mount Vernon was able to build on that lead and took a 12-7 lead into the second pe-riod. The mixture of Bosse’s defensive effort and Mount Vernon’s lack of offensive rhythm led the Bulldogs to close in late in the second period but the Wildcats hung on to a two point lead at the half 19-17.

However, it was the third quarter that made the differ-

ence in the game. Just a few minutes into the third period Bosse senior Janisha Lindsey hit a three pointer to give the Bosse Bulldogs their fi rst lead of the game. Lindsay would be a big factor in the game for the Bulldogs scoring 33 points to lead the team. Bosse took Lindsay’s great play and went on a 13-0 run that put the Bulldogs up big and put Mount Vernon in a big hole 32-21 with just two minutes to play in the quarter. The Wild-cats would answer with a 7-0 run to answer the Bulldogs and were able to eventually tie the game in the fourth period at 37-37 when senior Jacey Ritzert hit a layup with 3:23 left in the game. But Bosse not only continued to hit timely shots but also hit their free throws down the stretch and hung on to beat Mount Vernon 44-39.

The loss ends the season for the Wildcats with an overall record of 16-5. The loss ends

a great four years for seniors Jacey Ritzert, Jade Dixon, Lauren Stemple, and Rachel Cash. An emotional Mitchell felt bad about the loss for the seniors and sang their praises after Tuesday’s loss.

“I feel terrible for the seniors,” Mitchell said.” They mean so much to this program and have won a lot of games here. I just wish we could have advanced for their sake.”

The Wildcats were led in scoring by ju-nior Ellen Foster who had 13 in the contest. Freshman Alexis Nall had nine for the Cats and senior Lauren Stemple had seven.

And while the Wildcats are not pleased that their season has come to an end, the future is bright for the girls’ basketball pro-gram. All three girls’ teams had record years with the varsity at 16-5, JV at 17-2 on the year, and the freshman team undefeated to end the season.

Posey County Special Olympics

Lady Wildcats fall to eventual champ Bosse in f rst round

By Dave PearceSometimes, life is about being in the right

place at the right time. And according to North Posey senior Chris O’Risky, that was certainly the case for him.

The North Posey High School senior signed a Letter of Intent on Wednesday to at-tend Eastern Michigan University, an NCAA Division I FCS school. O’Risky will be the long-snapper for the Eagles in the fall.

The Eastern Michigan Eagles compete in Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and the Mid-American Conference. The school is located in Ypslianti, Mich.

“I wouldn’t have this offer without the Neidig family,” O’Risky said, paying tribute to the family of his classmate and fellow-signee Nick Neidig. “I rode up there with them to a camp at Northwestern University and I just had an awesome day. I was snap-ping great. But a lot of time and a lot of prac-tice went into that, too.”

O’Risky, who was won several awards in

both football and wrestling, has wanted to continue his education and his football ca-reer at the next level for a long time.

“I always thought I would play college football but I never thought it would be at this caliber of a school,” O’Risky said dur-ing a signing ceremony held at North Posey High School on Wednesday. “I always loved football and grew up imagining I was Peyton Manning.”

But despite his love for the game, O’Risky can remember a time in the fi fth or sixth grade when he decided he did not want to play the game anymore.

“But after a year or two off, I came back in junior high and it was so much better,” O’Risky said. “I grew a little bit and that helped. I got a little more physical and that continued all the way through high school.

But O’Risky said his mother, Linda, was not all that excited about her son playing

By Dave PearceThere was a lot of excitement on Wednes-

day afternoon at North Posey High School as three members of this year’s football team signed letters to continue their education and football careers at the college level.

Nick Neidig, Chris O’Risky, and Austin Little combined their celebrations, much like the three have celebrated their high school careers…together.

Neidig indicated that he will attend South-ern Illinois University at Carbondale and will be a kicker for the Salukis. Neidig indi-cated that he has already been told he will be red-shirted his fi rst year and that’s just fi ne with him. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound senior will have an opportunity to get his feet under him and his head grounded before football becomes a full time way of life for him for four years.

Neidig said that SIU proved to be the per-fect academic fi t for him.

“When I went for my offi cial visit, the head of the College of Science came and

spoke to me and told me the correct path to choose and that’s why I am majoring in physiology,” Neidig said. “It was just the ‘wow’ factor there.”

Former Reitz and Army quarterback Paul McIntosh has led the Salukis the past two years. Neidig said he chose the FCS Series School over some bigger names because of the educational opportunities and what ap-pears to be the “perfect fi t.” He visited Ball State, Vanderbilt, Cincinnati, and Texas for offi cial visits.

But the opportunity to play college foot-ball is not a life-long dream for Neidig. As a matter of fact, as a youngster, Neidig’s fa-vorite sport was baseball followed by bas-ketball and football was a distant third be-cause it was not available in Poseyville at the younger ages. But that has changed.

“Once I got to high school, I knew that football was my sport and I wanted to be good at it,” Neidig said.

O’Risky signs with Eastern Mich.

Megan Martin has been a steady force for the Wild-cat volleyball team the past four years. On Tues-day all her hard work and dedication paid off as she signed her National Letter of Intent to play college volleyball at John A Logan college in Carterville, Ill.

A four-year letter win-ner in volleyball at Mount Vernon High School, Mar-tin was named team cap-tain her junior and senior years. She started on two Big Eight volleyball cham-pionship teams as well as two sectional champion-ship teams and was named

to the Big Eight volleyball All Conference team her junior and senior years. This past year Martin was awarded the Most Valuable Player award for her lead-ership and the great play she displayed on the court.

Martin began to show promise as a volleyball player her sixth grade year when she played with the Topspin volleyball club. She has played not only high school volleyball the past four years, but also played club volleyball for six years. She was the captain of the River City volleyball club teams her eighth and ninth grade years as well as the Audu-

bon volleyball association club team since her sopho-more year in high school.

Martin chose John A Lo-gan as her college choice because of the location and the atmosphere. “The site and location were exactly what I was looking for and I also loved the inviting atmosphere the school had to offer,” Martin said.

Martin plans to major in business and would like to eventually to into a health administration profession after fi nishing school. She will be missed not only on the volleyball team next year but also around Mount Vernon High School.

Kate Cox signed her Nation-al Letter of Intent to play college soccer at Indiana State University Wednesday evening. Cox chose the Syc-amores over Purdue, IUPUI, Western Kentucky, Central Michigan, and USI and will enter NCAA division I soc-cer ready to contribute in any way she can.

Soccer has always been a huge part of Cox’s life. She began playing the sport early in life and took to it nicely. Her athletic ability has always been something that has been noticed by many and at some point in her athletic career she has been a state champion in the sports of soccer, basketball, softball, and track.

Cox will leave Mount Vernon High School with 114 career goals which plac-es her eighth on the all time scoring list in the State of Indiana. She also added 36 career assists to top off her great four years as a Wild-cat. In addition to her High School career, Cox played on the Southwest Indiana Soccer Association team “Rush” and was a part of the Indiana Olympic Develop-ment State team.

Cox was highly recruited and was named to ESPN’s top 150 recruits of the class of 2013. She was named All Conference all four years at Mount Vernon and was named to the 2012 All State third team as well.

Cox chose Indiana State because of its closeness to

home as well as other fac-tors. “I chose Indiana State because it offered me a great place to get an education and because of its proxim-ity to home,” Cox said. “I wanted to play soccer and felt comfortable with the coaching staff and players there. Everyone welcomed me and I felt like this was where I belonged.”

Cox is currently undecid-ed as to her major but sees two alternatives. She either wants to become a Regis-tered Dietician with a spe-cial focus on young people with eating disorders or sat-isfy her interest in creative design by studying packag-ing engineering. Whatever Cox decides to do everyone in Mount Vernon knows she will be successful.

By Steven KocherspergerThe Mount Vernon girls’

swim team competed this past Friday and Saturday in the IHSAA state championships on the campus of IUPUI. This swim meet is a culmination of all their hard work and dedi-cation this year. On Friday the girls swam in the preliminaries and on Saturday the champi-onship races and when all was said and done the Wildcats came home in ninth place in the state.

One Wildcat that really stood out in Indianapolis was sopho-more Clara Baggett. Baggett fi nished second in the 50 Free-style race (23.26) as well as the 100 Freestyle (50.46) and set new Mount Vernon High School records in both those events.

Baggett also joined team-mates Kelsey Turner, Samantha Gowdy, and Claudia Crawford in swimming the 200 Medley

Relay. The relay team fi nished in fi fth place with a time of 1:45.86.

Other fi nishers for Mount Vernon in the championships were senior Kelsey Turner in the 200 Freestyle (16th place) as well as the 100 butterfl y (17th). Claudia Crawford fi n-ished 19th in the 200 IM and 15th in the 100 breaststroke. Samantha Gowdy fi nished 15th in the 100 backstroke and the relay team of Gowdy, Kelsey Turner, Clara Baggett, and Drew Glover fi nished 9th in the 400 Free.

As a team Mount Vernon fi nished in ninth place out of 41 teams winning the mythi-cal small school championship. Most schools competing in the championships are large in en-rollment and Mount Vernon was the only school with an enrollment of under 900 to fi n-ish in the top twenty. The girls’ team fi nished the year in great

style and should be proud of everything they accomplished this year.

football because of the risk of injury.

“I think she is probably OK with it now that it is pay-ing for my college,” O’Risky said with an infectious smile.

But going on to college, especially far from home, will not diminish I’Risky’s memories of north Posey High School and his teams and teammates.

“I wouldn’t trade these past four years for anything,” O’Risky said of the success the Vikings have enjoyed during his tenure. “Play-ing on a different team from these guys is going to be dif-ferent. Our coach said we may even play against SIU (Neidig’s school of choice) while I am up there. That would be a neat experience but I am not ready for that.”

O’Risky said he has been told that he will start as a freshman.

“They said that I have to take some summer classes and get some credits out of the way and I have some AP credit hours from high school going over,” O’Risky said. “Having eight credits going into the fi rst years should take some of the pressure

off.”O’Risky said he plans to

spend at least four years at Eastern Michigan, perhaps as many as six.

“They told me that I could be on scholarship my fi fth year if I agree to be a gradu-ate assistant,” O’Risky ex-plained.

O’Risky’s plans call for a major in accounting as his fu-ture plans include becoming a CPA.

“I would like to get my masters in accounting and then, in my sixth year of school, I can study for the CPA exam,” O’Risky said.

O’Risky said his uncle Jared, who played football for Ball State, has been his biggest supporter to attend EMU.

“He likes the Eagles be-cause he says they weren’t

very good when he was at Ball State and he wants to have bragging rights on me,” O’Risky said. “But everyone in my family has super-sup-portive.”

O’Risky says it is impor-tant for him to remember that he is not the “top dog” at this position because he is not big enough and he is not fast enough.

“I know that to be suc-cessful and to set me apart from other people will have to come from my work ethic and my drive,” he concluded. “I can’t begin to think the people of this community enough. The support I get from everyone is incredible.”

Chris is the son of Jeff and Linda O’Risky and has a brother, Darren, who will be a senior at North Posey in the fall.

were tied at 23 heading into the fi nal period. That’s when things got even more interesting.

The Raiders hit a 3-poiniter to open the quarter and take their fi rst lead since early in the game. Then, less than a min-ute into the quarter, Hannah Harness picked up her foul at-tempting to get out of the way of the Southridge ballhandler as she brought the ball up the court. The ballhandler tripped and Harness was one foul from disqualifi cation.

But the Vikings had chances. Twice they went to the free throw line with two free throws and twice they missed them both.

Then at the 4:55 mark, the Raiders hit another 3-pointer to give them a 29-23 lead. When the Southridge point guard got away uncontested for a lay-up at the four-minute mark, the cheers from the nearby Southridge fans grew nearly deafen-ing. But the Lady Vikings were not done.

Harness scored on a drive only to have Southridge answer.

So what do you do when you are facing an eight-point defi cit with three minutes to go? You get tough.

Harness nailed another 3-pointer before Perry fouled out at 2:56. Southridge hit one free throw to lead 33-28.

The Vikings picked up full court pressure and Worman got a lay-up to pull to within 34-30 with just over two minutes remaining.

Hannah then took the ball to the basket and the southpaw scored at just over one minute to pull to within 34-32 and the Vikings took a time out.

With 50 seconds remaining and the Raiders headed up-court, freshman Kayla Sanford got her hand on a pass the went high into the air and into the hands of Worman who took it to the hole and was fouled. The lay-up tied the score and the free throw gave the Lady Vikings a 35-34 lead.

The Raiders got the ball across half-court and called time out to set up a play. Out of the time out, they got the shot they

wanted as they found their 3-point specialist wide open in the corner but this time, she was a little long and who else would come up with the rebound…Hurricane Hannah.

She was fouled and converted both free throws at 18.8 and the Vikings had a 3-point lead.

On the ensuing possession, Southridge hit the boards hard and got off two shots inside but neither fell. Owen came down with the rebound and with 4.4 showing on the clock, she hit the second of two free throws to secure the 38-34 win.

And just for good measure, Harness stole the inbounds pass and the Vikings would get to come back.

Only three players scored for the Vikings as Harness had 22, Worman had eight and Owen seven.

But on Friday night, the Lady Vikings could not survive their second poor second quarter of the tournament and fell to the Perry Central Commodores 55-49.

The Lady Vikings were within two with ten seconds to play but were forced to foul making the score appear more one-sided than it really was.

The Vikings did not have an answer for the Lady Com-modres’ Ashley Graves, a 6-foot-2 center who poured in 20 points to spark the Commodores..

Sanford led the Vikings, who checked out at 14-9, with 17 points, including three 3-pointers. Hannah Harness contrib-uted 10 points to North Posey’s attack..

Leading 11-10 at the end of the fi rst quarter, Perry Cen-tral outscored the Vikings 17-4 in the second period to take control.

In Saturday’s championship, defending state champion Mater Dei had no trouble with the Lady Commodores and easily advanced to this weekend’s Regional.

By Dave PearceTo say that Austin Little is a good athlete

might be an understatement. The 6-foot-4, 285-pound North Posey senior took time away from preparing for this past weekend’s wrestling semi-state to participate with his classmates, in a signing day on Wednesday at North Posey High School. However, he will be playing football in college. Little will be a preferred walk-on at the Univer-sity of Indianapolis after turning down some opportunities at other institutions.

“I was a little bit surprised that what they offered was a preferred- walk-on but I am happy with it,” Little explained. “It means I have a spot on the team in the fall but I will have to work for a scholarship position.”

But having to work for what he gets is nothing new for Little. The senior has had as much or more success in the individual sport of wrestling as he has in the team sport of football. He feels that will bode well for him as he travels to Indiana’s Capital City.

“When you look at the awards I have won and how far I have advanced, I have prob-ably been more successful in wrestling but I don’t want to wrestle in college,” Little said.

Little has numerous accolades in football, as well, being chosen All Conference and has made the cut, along with teammates Wes Harness and Nick Neidig. They are among the 140 best football players in the south half of the state. The fi nal team (40 or so) will be selected in March.

“North Posey has done so much for me,” Little said with sincerity in his eyes. “It has made me who I am. It has humbled me and taught me all about hard work and team-work.”

But perhaps some of his highest praise

was reserved for his high school football coaches, including head coach Joe Gengel-bach.

“He is the best around. You can’t argue with 44 years,” Little said. “He is obviously doing a lot of things right. He and Coach Rynk (Paul Rynkiewich) have been a big infl uence on me.”

Little said football has not always been the favorite part of his life. But now, he is glad that he hung in there during the tough times.

“When we started playing in the fourth grade, I wanted to quit and continue play-ing soccer because my brother played travel soccer but once I got to junior high, I re-alized I wanted to play football at least in college,” Little explained. “I never really thought I could go pro but I wanted to at least play in college.”

The soccer skills from his younger years have probably contributed to Little’s suc-cess not only on the football fi eld but also on the wrestling mat. His agility, particu-larly during his senior year, is excellent for a player his size.

“I visited several other schools and weighed all the pros and cons and there wasn’t anything I could say I didn’t like about Indianapolis,” Little said of his choice. “I love the fact that it is in a big city. Their sports management program is top-notch. Their facilities are great because the Giants worked out there for the Super Bowl a couple years ago.”

Although he will go to the school as a pre-ferred walk-on, his academics have paid off in some fi nancial help on the academic side.

Little is uncertain as to when he will ac-tually leave for the school but it is his un-

derstanding that he can go and work out if he takes a summer class and works on campus.

“We had 15 seniors this year and there the best peo-ple I have ever been around,” Little said of his teammates. “We knew when we had to be serious. We had fun every day and created new memo-ries every day. That’s prob-ably why I love this sport so much. There are so many relationships you have with this that you would never have otherwise.”

Little turned down an of-fer from William Jewel Uni-versity in Kansas City.

“My family is happy too because they should be able to come to all my home games,” Little said. “And they are glad the decision has been made.”

Special to the NewsMichelle Gesse offers ten tips on how to

cope if your spouse or loved one has been falsely accused of committing a crime.

Imagine this: You and your spouse are at home one evening when the doorbell rings unexpectedly. You open your front door to fi nd several law enforcement offi cers standing on your porch. They have come to arrest your spouse—who has been accused of a crime he or she didn’t commit—and to search your home. You may not realize it now, but your spouse’s life, as well as your own, is about to change dramatically. That’s because you’re both about to enter a frightening criminal justice system that in practice, if not in theory, considers the accused to be guilty until proven innocent.

Michelle Gesse lived this nightmare after her husband, Steven, was falsely accused of threatening a neighbor’s adult son with a gun.

“After the initial shock of the accusation wore off, I understood that Steven would be facing numerous obstacles as he tried to clear his name, and that his life would be very different and incredibly diffi cult over the following months,” recalls Gesse, author of Bogus Allegations: The Injustice of Guilty Until Proven Innocent (Johnson Books, March 2012, ISBN: 978-1-55566-450-3, $17.95, www.michellegesse.com). “What I didn’t realize was the extent to which my own life would be impacted, too.”

Over the next seven months, the criminal justice system treated Steven as though his guilt were already assumed. He was in and out of court and had to meet multiple bail conditions, including obtaining special permission to leave the state, appearing for random breathalyzer tests, and meeting regularly with a drug counselor. He and Michelle were also forced to spend their retirement savings to fund his defense.

“While I wasn’t accused of a crime and was technically a ‘free’ citizen, I felt as though I, too, had been falsely accused,” Gesse shares. “As I tried to help and support Steven, I often had no idea how to handle the situations and emotions I was faced with. To make things even more diffi cult, I had few resources to draw on and often felt very isolated.”

Finally, Steven Gesse was found not guilty of Felony Menacing and Prohibited Use of a Weapon by a jury on October 28, 2009. Yet being exonerated did not make up for the fact that he had been treated like a convicted felon, or for the fi nancial, emotional, and social hardship he and his wife endured. The unfairness of it all set Michelle Gesse on a mission to shine a spotlight on the injustices of the American justice system—and to make people aware of what to do in case they or a loved one are ever falsely accused.

Here, Gesse speaks directly to spouses and loved ones. She shares ten tips to help you make it through your own ordeal if someone you love is ever falsely accused of a crime:

Treat the accusation like the diagnosis of a serious illness. The mindset with which you approach your loved one’s arrest and trial can make a huge difference in your ability to support him and to cope with what is often an extended ordeal. Railing against how unfair the situation is or indulging in prolonged anger isn’t healthy for anyone involved. Instead, recommends Gesse, think of the accusation as the diagnosis of a potentially lethal disease.

“Treating the accusation like a disease diagnosis is applicable in several different ways,” she explains. “Like becoming ill, being falsely accused of a crime is not your loved one’s fault, and you need to support him. The emotional toll is the same. Life as you know it will cease to exist as legal proceedings and

obligations take center stage—just as doctor’s visits and treatments would. Remember, your loved one will need unconditional support, and you will be his primary caregiver. And lastly, don’t expect the situation to be resolved quickly—we’re not talking about an ‘illness’ that can be cured with one vaccine. Be prepared for the battle to last a long time.”

Maintain normalcy as much as possible.One of the hardest parts of being falsely accused of a crime—and being treated as though you were guilty by the criminal justice system—is the feeling that everything in your life is out of your control. Depending on the specifi cs of your loved one’s case, she may be limited in where she can go and what she can do, and she might also have to meet frequently with lawyers, counselors, and others to meet the terms of her bail. Living under these strictures can make your loved one (and you!) feel helpless and desperate, and they can greatly contribute to the overall stress you’re both feeling.

“That’s why it’s so important to maintain as much normalcy in your life as possible,” Gesse asserts. “Stop dwelling on the fact that you have to cancel your anniversary trip, and defi nitely avoid sitting around moping and brooding. Instead, focus on sticking to your normal daily routine whenever possible: Attend your weekly aerobics class, keep up your Thursday night date nights, run errands, and do chores. Never underestimate the power of the mundane when it comes to helping you to feel in control of your life in the midst of otherwise out-of-control circumstances.”

Decide on how you will handle your friends from the beginning. You might wish that you could keep your loved one’s accusation completely under wraps, but unless you’re very lucky, that won’t be possible. News of the arrest and charges may be published in a local newspaper, and as we all know, gossip and morbid curiosity are powerful things. It’s best to assume that the people in your life—including your friends—will learn about the accusation. And according to Gesse, it’s in your family’s best interests to decide beforehand how you want to handle these relationships.

“The nature of your friendships may change in this situation, and most likely, you’ll be forced to question who your true friends are,” she shares. “In our situation, some people whom we had expected to support us backed away, others were shamelessly interested in the details of the case, and still others assumed that because Steven had been accused and arrested, he must be guilty.

“In retrospect, I would advise sitting down with your spouse and your lawyer as soon as possible to determine how you should handle your current friendships and relationships. Do you discuss the trial? Will you agree to keep the details secret? Gossip and hearsay can become explosive (and potentially very damaging) in a situation like this one, so you need to be on the same page from the beginning. For Steven and me, our lawyer told us what to say when asked about the charges: ‘Steven is not guilty. He did not have a gun. He did not commit any crime, but we have been advised not to discuss the details of the case right now. The situation is, however, very serious.’ I believe that sticking to this script helped both of us to avoid a lot of stressful conversations. That said, we each ‘selected’ one or two trusted friends or relatives with whom we could confi de and vent to as necessary.”

All decisions need to be mutual. No matter what the details of your loved one’s case are, you can be sure of one thing: There are some tough decisions ahead. And while only one of you has been accused, it’s vital that you make

those decisions together because they will impact your entire family. Do everything you can to come to a mutual agreement before moving forward. Now, more than ever, you and your loved one need to stand together and support one another.

“The odds are already stacked against you, so you don’t need to be at odds with one another,” Gesse confi rms. “Most likely,

one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is whether to go to trial or accept a plea bargain. Going to trial was the right decision for me and my husband, but it may not be the right decision for you. If, for instance, your family has neither the emotional nor fi nancial resources to go through the lengthy

‘Neidig’ from Page B2Neidig said his father, Joe, who played at Purdue and then later at the University of Evansville, did not pressure him at all and let him do what he wanted to do.

Neidig said the proximity to home was not really a factor, either. He said the academics and the at-mosphere at the school, as well as the school’s new state-of-the-art stadium played the biggest roles. FieldTurf, a Tarkett Sports Com-pany, installed its Duraspine PRO

turf system and its patented sand and rubber infi ll at Saluki Stadium. The top of the line artifi cial turf is the same that has been installed at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, and numerous other high-profi le collegiate institu-tions and pro football organizations. The stadium is the newest of the 12 facilities built by NCAA Division I Football Championship schools since 2000.

“They just got the new stadium in

2010 and everything is brand new,” Neidig also said of his decision to choose SIU. “They have FBS facili-ties but they are an FCS school.”

The highest level of college foot-ball is FBS with FCS coming be-tween the typical NCAA Division I and Division II programs. The FCS division was formerly known as the College Division and most recently as the NCAA Division 1AA..

“My family is happy about it (staying close to home) but it really

didn’t play a role in my decision.” Neidig said about the school located nearby. “I would have been fi ne go-ing away but I really don’t have to think about it now because I will be so close.”

Besides his father, Nick’s mother is Jennifer, who teaches at North Posey High School and a sister who attends the University of Evansville.

“I think everyone is just happy that the decision has been made more than anything,” Neidig said

with a smile. “But there are a lot of people who have helped me along the way and I will forever be indebt-ed to them.

Among names mentioned in-cluded the school administrators and teachers as well as coaches and members of the “North Posey Fam-ily.”

“I am so grateful and so blessed to be able to continue to play this great game and represent this com-munity,” Neidig concluded.

By Dave PearceBipolar disorder is a condition in which people

go back and forth between periods of a very good and excitable or irritable mood and depression. The “mood swings” between mania and depres-sion can be very quick.

First year North Posey head boys’ basketball coach Heath Howington can probably relate after the season he has had, especially this week.

Howington’s Vikings gave him reason to be depressed on a rare Thursday evening game against Evansville Memorial. The Vikings played perhaps their worst game of the year on their way to a 65-40 drubbing by Evansville Memorial.

But his team did not leave him hanging. The Vikings responded quickly on Saturday by beat-ing Class 2A’s fi fth-ranked Perry Central Com-modores 55-45 on senior day at North Posey.

When asked about Thursday’s debacle against Memorial, Howington said it was just about the worst feeling of helplessness he had ever experi-enced. The team talked briefl y in the lock room following the game and on Friday at practice, Howington handled the adversity like someone with much more experience.

“We came into practice on Friday and I told them ‘Last night’s game was last night’s game and that’s all I am going to say about that.’” And it was.

“Adversity builds character and there was a whole lot of character in that locker room after both of those games,” Howington said on Sun-day. “It was a totally different team that showed up on Saturday. Our guys really responded after Thursday night’s game. We focused on our next opponent and the guys did a good job executing

our game plan.”But when the Vikings opened Saturday’s game

on the short end of an 8-2 run, Howington had seen just about enough character-building.

“When we got down 8-2 I called a time out and got into them pretty good and challenged them,” the even-tempered Howington said. “They re-sponded and you see the results.”

The Vikings outscored the Commodores 8-3 through the remainder of the quarter and led by fi ve at halftime.

They steadily built a lead behind the aggres-sive offensive play of senior guard Wes Harness and outscored Perry Central by two in the third quarter and by three in the fourth.

“There in the second half, they cut it to two points there,” Howington said. “But that was as close as they ever got.”

The Commodores had won 11 games in a row coming into Saturday’s contest.

“They have scored a lot off their pressure de-fense. We told our guys coming into the game that offensively, we were going to have to be able to handle pressure and make good decision,” Howington said. “We wanted our guys to attack and shoot lay-ups at our end and stay away from those ‘inbetween’ possessions. For the most part, we made good decisions on that.”

Harness fi nished with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists. Alec Werry had 11, James Mar-shall had seven, Kyle Whitmore had fi ve, Reed Gertiesen and Tyler Atkins had four apiece, while Michael Bender and Damon Cardin each had two.

“We wanted our offense to go through Wes,” Howington said of the explosive senior. “Our guys were aware of that. We tried to isolate him

on the blocks because he had a smaller guy on him. We thought we could go through Wes on the inside and that would open up our outside game. That freed up Werry, Whitmore, and Marshall. Werry had two 3-pointers while Whitmore and Marshall each had one.”

But one could not blame Howington if he questioned himself after Thursday’s game. After all, this is the same team that started the season 1-6 but has gone 7-3 since that time to pull almost even at 8-9.

But the win over the now 14-2 Commodores has to rank as one of the biggest wins of the season. But there is a lot of basketball left to be played for the Vikings. The last four games are going to determine many things about this year’s team, Howington’s fi rst.

In the game against Memorial, Gertiesen and Adkins both got the starting nods, to try and coun-ter some of Memorial’s size and perhaps come up with a few more rebounds. Also, Whitmore has been nursing a sore back and it may have given him an opportunity to rest it a bit.

It worked early but the Tigers caught on and the Vikings’ only lead came when Bender hit a three to open the game. The Tigers went on to build a 19-12 lead at the fi rst quarter stop and expanded it to 31-14 at the half as the Vikings managed only one fi eld goal in the second period.

By the end of the third period, Memorial had ballooned to a 52-25 lead and coasted to the vic-tory. The Vikings won the reserve contest 32-27. The Perry Central reserves edged the Vikings 59-57.

Against Memorial, Harness had two fi eld goals and hit all eight of his free throws to lead the team with 14 points. Werry fi nished with

eight while Bender had fi ve. Cardin and Adkins had four apiece while Whitmore and Gertiesen had two apiece and Bryce Martin hit a free throw.

The Vikings’ fi nal four games are on the road and there’s still a whole lot on the line. The Vikes still have only one loss in the conference but after Boonville on Friday night, they will play at Tell City on Saturday and then face Southridge in a make-up game the following Friday and Gibson Southern on Saturday.

“If nothing else, we should be road battle tested,” Howington said with a smile. “But at the beginning of the year, we told the guys our main goal is to win the sectional and we want to keep our eye on the prize. It could work out that we could be playing for two championships in one week. Not many teams get that opportunity.”

LEGALSLEGALSin taking another route as long as you both agree on it. Neither should the acceptance of a plea bargain be taken as a sign of guilt. It is what it is—a chance to draw the process to a conclusion.”

Don’t allow yourself to wallow in the “what ifs.” When an incident occurs that ends up turning your entire life upside down, it’s easy to let yourself be taken captive by “what ifs.” As you watch a spouse, child, or other loved one suffer, it’s normal to think through the events that led up to the ordeal and consider what could have been done to prevent it from happening. But the truth of the matter is, agonizing over the past won’t change anything about the current situation. You are where you are, and your only productive option is to look forward.

“Dwelling on the ‘what ifs’ only serves to keep you rooted in the past, and will dredge up feelings of guilt and anger that won’t do you or your spouse any good,” Gesse shares. “It’s diffi cult to keep your thoughts under control, though—sometimes I still catch myself wondering what would have happened if I had called 911 immediately after learning that our neighbor’s son was upset with Steven, if I had or hadn’t said more to the police, if, if, if… But that’s all hindsight. When you fi nd yourself allowing those types of thoughts to creep in, instead remind yourself to focus on the plan ahead—the things you can control. Write them

down as a list, if that helps.”Understand that whatever

you are feeling is perfectly normal. During the process of an accusation and trial, you can expect your emotions to run the gamut. At times, you may feel anger or resentment toward your spouse. You may feel like giving up and walking away. You may feel guilty yourself. And during your darkest moments, you may even question your loved one’s innocence (even though you know better). All of these feelings are perfectly normal, Gesse assures. And when they become overwhelming, it’s important to talk to a trusted friend or therapist about them.

“One thing I wasn’t prepared for was feeling that I was being judged along with Steven,” Gesse shares. “At times, I also felt paranoid and believed that everyone thought Steven was guilty, which made it diffi cult to interact with anyone normally. Worst of all were the moments when I caught myself feeling like the charges were somehow Steven’s fault. The same might be true for you. If he had not made that comment, you might think. Or, If she had not gone out with that guy—I knew he was trouble! On a rational level you know that the situation isn’t your loved one’s fault, but on an emotional level, you’re looking for somewhere to place the blame and channel your anger.

“Once again, these feelings are normal, and you shouldn’t beat yourself up for having

them,” Gesse reiterates. “However, do keep in mind the reality that false accusations are not your loved one’s fault. Remind yourself that the fault lies with the party who made those accusations, not with either one of you.”

Keep the lines of communication open. At times throughout your ordeal, you may feel that it’s you and your loved one against the world. And in a manner of speaking, you’d be right. No outsider can fully understand what your family is going through, and that means that it’s crucial for you and your loved one to maintain a strong and trusting relationship. From the very beginning, set up an open-door honesty policy with each other. Commit to being open and honest every step of the way, and talk about everything—including aspects of your life that aren’t impacted by the false accusations.

“Sometimes, communi-cating with your spouse will be very diffi cult,” Gesse ac-knowledges. “It’s easy to become so overwhelmed, stressed, and down in the dumps that you just don’t feel like talking about anything. And at other times, you may want to ‘protect’ the other per-son by holding certain things back, ranging from your own feelings of frustration to the bad day you had at work to news of a minor setback you just received from the lawyer. But I have learned that in the end, holding back can create feelings of resentment and

distrust. You’ll be best able to support one another when you’re open and honest.”

Take steps to care for yourself physically and emotionally. As previously mentioned, dealing with the false accusation of a loved one is much like dealing with the diagnosis of a chronic disease. The battle ahead will take a very tough emotional and physical toll on both of you. One of the best things you can do for yourself and your loved one is making sure that you maintain the best possible health during this ordeal so that you can offer meaningful support.

“Often, medical caregivers experience fatigue and burnout, or become ill themselves,” Gesse points out. “The same thing can happen to you as you help your loved one deal with the frightening and confusing criminal justice system. Eat well, exercise, and do the best you can to get enough sleep. On an emotional level, be aware of your feelings and those of your spouse. If you suspect you may be suffering from signs of depression or anxiety, be proactive about seeking professional help. Do not underestimate the toll that this can and will take on you.”

It’s okay to accept and ask for help. Once false accusations have been made, your life is about to become a hurricane of court dates, meetings with lawyers, appointments that are part of bail conditions, paperwork, and errands. In short, all of

those “normal life” chores like buying groceries, taking the dog to the vet, and picking up dry cleaning will likely fall to the wayside in lieu of more pressing things. If you have friends or family members who offer to help you by bringing in meals or running errands, say yes.

“Swallowing your pride and admitting that it’s tough to handle everything on your plate isn’t always pleasant,” Gesse admits. “But believe me, having the rest of your life in order as much as possible will do wonders for your mental and emotional states. If you’re fortunate enough to have trusted, supportive friends and family nearby, ask them for help if you need it. Reaching out is not an admission of guilt or even weakness—after all, your situation has grown far beyond what you’re normally equipped to deal with. Remember, if your plate is too full and you spread yourself too thin, you won’t be any good to your spouse or yourself.”

Manage your expectations for the future. As your ordeal moves forward, you’ll be driven and motivated by thoughts of the future. “When this is fi nally over” is a phrase you’ll probably utter multiple times a day as you dream of living a “normal” life once again. That’s a good thing! However, Gesse says, it’s also a good idea to manage your expectations of what the post-trial future will actually look like so that you aren’t disappointed or upset by the

reality when it arrives.“Even if the outcome of

your trial is good, as it was for Steven and me, you cannot expect your life to go back to the way it was before,” she shares. “You will be a different person as a result of what you’ve been through, and so will your spouse. Your marriage may need time to adjust and grow, and that’s okay. You may also have lost some friends or even family members as a result of the accusations. After devoting your life to the trial and the outcome, you may feel lost for a time as you fi gure out how to move forward. My most important piece of advice is for you to take each day as it comes and focus on making the present moment as well as the future as positive as possible. If you mourn your ‘old’ life and continually compare it to the new normal, you’ll never be happy.”

“Ultimately, every case is different, and if your spouse or loved one has been falsely accused of committing a crime, you’ll be facing a set of unique circumstances,” Gesse concludes. “However, if you do fi nd yourself in this unthinkable situation (which I sincerely hope you don’t!), these general guidelines will help you to navigate what’s ahead without totally succumbing to the stress and strain. Remember, you’re a caregiver—so do what’s best for yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally.”

Thank you for making us the #1 Hyundai Dealer in the Tri-State Two Years in a Row.

Mount Vernon native Dennis Noon and his wife, Nancy, have generously shared their love for classical and inspirational music with their Wolfgang Orchestra and Chorus, Posey County’s own community orchestra and choir—the only community orchestra north of Clarksville and south of Indianapolis. Just this past year, the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana presented the couple with the Posey County Arts Award 2012 for their dedication to music and their community.

Indeed, Wolfgang has met with such community popularity, it can claim three offshoots: the Dixielanders

(early 20th century jazz vocals), the Big Jazz Band (1940-style jazz) and the Wolfgang Octet (devoted to chamber music).

Ecstatic about their new headquarters at Hedges Central, the Noons believe they are primarily in the people business, their deep love for music notwithstanding. “We want to help people rediscover music. We encourage people to use the talent God gave them, not to bury it.”

Certainly, the Noons’ enthusiasm is highly contagious. Celebrating its seventh year (and 21st season) this spring, Wolfgang organized in the summer of

2006 as Wolfgang Classical Wind Ensemble, consisting of 17 youth and adult players. Now, it has become Wolfgang Orchestra and Chorus with approximately 75 musicians. Those musicians practice for two and a half hours every Friday night three seasons of the year—spring, summer and Christmas—culminating with fi nal concerts in Mount Vernon, Evansville and New Harmony. Wolfgang goes on vacation for approximately one month between seasons.

The Noons’ commitment to Wolfgang involves so much more than directing. They have their instruments to practice. Dennis plays clarinet, saxophone, fl ute,

trumpet and percussion while Nancy is skilled at the piano, organ, fl ute and bassoon. During the off-seasons, they work in CD production of Wolfgang’s performances, select and study music, and produce all print marketing materials for the next season.

They may perhaps work harder in retirement than they did during their years of teaching—Dennis, as band director in the public schools, and Nancy, as private instructor of piano and voice. Somehow, though, Dennis fi nds time for rose gardening and delights in sharing rose cuttings for plantings with his friends and neighbors. Always, the Noons provide

a living example to support the poet John Keats’ words,

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”

Dennis & Nancy Noon inspire local musicians to rediscover their talent

a free music ministry made in heavenHARP ENSEMBLE

Posey County

Vallorie Adamaitis, Jaime Medley, Connie Angel, Brenda Ketcham of the Posey County Harp Ensemble

Formed not quite two years ago, the Posey County Harp Ensemble’s devotion to the harp would inspire

even King David himself. In a program unique to the Tri-State, the ensemble’s 14 adult harpists, 10 owning their own harps, not only give free performances, but also free lessons to novice musicians, age 8 to 84.

Mount Vernon resident Jaime Medley leads the ensemble, the brainchild of Joy Ahlemeyer, the wife of Rev. Tim Ahlemeyer, minister at First United Methodist Church, or First UMC, in Mount Vernon. Ahlemeyer took her lead from retired music teacher, Carol Voris, a friend who gave free lessons in Bedford, Ind. After Ahlemeyer shared Voris’ work with First UMC, the church, with the help of a grant from the Keck family, purchased free loaner harps, putting them in the homes of new students without regard to income or status.

Medley points to three goals directing the ensemble in its music ministry: 1) above all else, to glorify God in everything; 2) to provide access to the harp for all, no matter their station in life; 3) to challenge every musician “to give back” and share music with the community.

Five ensemble members give back most visibly in Posey County. Jaime Medley accompanies Vallorie Adamaitis, Connie Angel, Brenda Ketcham and Elgie Campbell to provide Friday performances for residents in long-term care and for schoolchildren. First Fridays are reserved for Mount Vernon Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Third

and fourth Fridays rotate among New Harmonie Healthcare, Charles Ford Home, Solarbron and Posey County classrooms, such as Susanna Wesley Nursery School. In addition, Medley and Angel perform and teach on second Fridays at the Posey County Rehabilitation Center.

Interest in the harp has grown so rapidly in Posey County, Medley and ensemble founder Joy Ahlemeyer needed ensemble members Becky Massie and Amy Hartig to teach free lessons at First UMC as well. Beyond that, Hartig brings out her harp regularly for the children in her Stewartsville home daycare.

All 10 active harpists of the Posey County Harp Ensemble share their music at local church services, on average, once a month. The churches collect a goodwill offering to help defray costs of sheet music, harp maintenance, travel and so forth for the ensemble.

By the Christmas season this year, Medley hopes the Posey County Harp Ensemble will merge with the 12-member Tri-State Harp Ensemble, which presents six public performances annually—three in the spring and three in the Christmas season. The merger would guarantee at least one of those public performances will take place in a Posey County venue.

Just this past week, the Posey County Harp Ensemble met to discuss a new class series, Harp 101, at First UMC led by Mary Dicken, one of the harpists with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra and the principal harpist for the Owensboro Philharmonic Orchestra. The class series will begin within a couple of weeks. Dicken will meet every other week for 12 weeks with the fi rst 10 students to register.

Each student is assessed only a $10 registration fee. The class series typically costs $120, but Dicken is offering a special reduced rate to the Posey County Harp Ensemble, who will supplement the rest. In addition, a student may rent a harpscicle, or lap harp, to practice at home for only $30.

Scholarships are available to cover both the registration fee and lap harp

rental. Students may also practice at no cost on a studio harp set up in First UMC’s Wesley Hall during church offi ce hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (closed for lunch 12 noon to 1 p.m.). For information on how to register, individuals may email Jaime Medley at jaime@fi rstumcmv.com.

The Posey County Harp Ensemble has touched the heart strings of many Posey County residents. Their graceful notes must surely originate in heaven.

Ford Home’s new Life Enrichment Coordina-tor, Tracey Will Photo by Zach Straw

By Pam RobinsonResidents at assisted liv-

ing facilities have appreciated entertainment, such as perfor-mances of community musi-cians and dining excursions. Nonetheless, those same residents want and need much more. Amy Koch, Admin-istrator at New Harmony’s Charles Ford Home for wom-en, emphasizes that residents thrive on enrichment. They desire to cultivate their own talents and, whenever pos-sible, contribute those talents to the community.

To help her residents achieve these goals, Amy has welcomed a new Life En-richment Coordinator to her staff—Tracey Will. Since De-cember 11, Tracey has been working to develop new pro-grams at the Ford Home with student intern, Jamie Bur-

khard, soon to graduate from USI’s Master of Social Work program. Jamie conducts in-dividual interviews with Ford Home residents about their interests and skills. Later, the women will meet in groups to talk about what they want to see added to their programs.

In listening to residents, Tracey is providing a ‘face-lift’ to the activities calendar. Although Ford Home resi-dents may still enjoy outings for shopping and dining, they may now participate also in weekly art classes, open to the community, led by resi-dent Jean Groves. In addi-tion, residents gather for Tea on Thursdays and Tai Chi on Fridays. Every other Thursday afternoon, they enjoy a musi-cal where they sing along with their community guests. So-cializing is further enhanced

by a weekly meeting, known as The Gathering, in the com-mons area. Beyond that, the new Coffee Club insures resi-dents visit friends in their na-tive communities of Carmi, Ill., twice a month, and New Harmony, once a month. Resi-dents even participate in plan-ning menus and contributing to recipes now, encouraged by the Ford Home’s chef. They have been supported also as they develop their own wel-coming committee for new residents.

Already for several years now, residents of the Ford Home have hosted New Har-mony’s Reading Group. In January, they invited group members from the community to settle in with popcorn and soft drinks for movie night corresponding to a book selec-tion, “Pope Joan.”

“The new calendar not only brings new experiences in to residents, but residents direct their own programs or pair with people in the commu-nity who share their interests. When a person comes into assisted living or a skilled nursing facility, it’s not about stopping living. It’s about liv-ing better,” Tracey comments. “It’s about having those people in place to empower you—not to stop you—so you can con-tinue and live at your best.”

Tracey adds that the Ford Home welcomes volunteers from the community, especial-ly those with a special gift or talent, for matches with resi-dents. Interested community members may call Tracey Will at 682-4675. As she states, “We may very well have a gift or talent we can share with them as well.”

Explore alternative f owers as giftsRed roses may signify love, but just

about any other crimson-hued fl ower can also represent the strong emotions felt for a sweetheart -- and at a much more affordable cost. When visiting the fl orist to have a bouquet or arrangement of fl owers assembled for Valentine’s Day, consider mixing and matching some other fl owers for an arrangement with fl air and originality.

• Dahlias: Named after Anders Dahl, a Swedish botanist, these fl owers are na-tive to Mexico but actually prefer cooler growing conditions. Dahlias come in all sizes, from small blooms of a few inches to much larger blossoms that may be a foot in width. They are related to the sunfl ower, daisy and chrysanthemum. The Dahlia usually is not a scented fl ow-er, which may work for people who are especially sensitive to scented blooms.

• Chrysanthemums: Also known as mums, chrysanthemums are versatile fl owers that symbolize optimism, joy, fi delity and love. Although mums are traditionally yellow, they can also be

white, red and other hybrid hues.• Peonies: Peonies are herbaceous

perennial plants that produce large, often fragrant fl owers ranging in color from red to white. Peonies are highly prized by Eastern cultures, and in Chi-na they are known as the “fl ower of riches and honor.”

• Carnations: Carnations have the scientifi c name of Dianthus, which means “fl owers of God.” Carnations are particularly coveted because they can last long after being cut, which makes them popular in fl oral arrange-ments. Dark red carnations are said to convey affection and deep love. Be-cause of their popularity, carnations are often easily affordable.

• Columbine: Columbine is native to North America, Asia and Europe. It has lacy-looking leaves and bell-shaped fl owers. While columbines are traditionally used as garden plants to attract hummingbirds, a few blooms added to a fl oral arrangement can brighten up the design.

Affordable getaway ideas for Valentine's DayFebruary, when Valentine's Day serves as the offi cial day

of love and affection, is a great to embark on a romantic vacation, especially if that getaway is to a warmer locale that can help men and women momentarily forget about the snowstorms and colder temperatures back home.

Some resorts and travel-based businesses take advantage of Valentine's Day by infl ating prices to capitalize on gift-giving. However, many others use this time of year to of-fer specialized sales and discounts to help boost business through the remainder of the winter season. It is possible to enjoy an indulgent trip without having to spend a fortune.

• Consider cruising. There are cruises that depart from various ports all year long. All it takes is a call to a cruise line or logging on to their Web sites to check the scheduling. For those unopposed to fl ying to a different port, you may be able to broaden your options with regard to cruise destina-tions and departing dates. Cruises are advantageous because they are all-inclusive, self-contained vacations. Couples who don't want the hassle of packing and unpacking several times and want their meals and entertainment planned out ahead of time might fi nd cruising is their trip. There also is

the ability to visit different ports of call all in one trip, ensur-ing there is never a dull moment.

• Look into winery packages. Wineries may be doing their planting and harvesting in the warmer weather, but come the winter they may be facing a slow-down in foot traffi c and may be eager to attract business. Sampling different vintages and spending time in an often adults-only environment can be an ideal way to spend a Valentine's Day weekend. Make it an overnight trip and stay nearby in a hotel. Some winer-ies may offer a restaurant on premises or work with a local establishment to provide package deals.

• Visit your closest city. Many people living in the suburbs seldom make trips into downtown unless they are regular commuters for work. Even those who spend their weekdays in an urban area may never have experienced all of the little gems that attract tourists. For Valentine's Day, you may want to see your urban center through the eyes of a visitor, taking advantage of the museums, cultural centers and buildings that attract tourists throughout the year. Chances are the trip will not be costly, and you'll be close to home.

• Take in live music. There's something romantic about

listening to music together. Investigate upcoming concerts in your area. Some coffee shops and bars host open-mic nights when budding artists can be heard. Check to see if any smaller venues are hosting intimate, acoustic concerts by popular bands. It can be a memorable night and one that doesn't break the bank.

• Trade time-share dates with others. Time shares are great ways to have a dedicated vacation spot that you are guaran-teed during a certain time each year. There are time-share swapping sites like TimeShareJuice.com. Find out if you can exchange your requisite time with another and take your va-cation in honor of Valentine's Day.

• Consider a private rental situation. Many people who own vacation homes list them for rent when they are unoc-cupied. You may be able to stay in a larger condo or space than a traditional hotel room for a smaller cost than going to a hotel. If you develop a rapport with a particular renter, you may have preference of dates and can make visiting a tropical island or another retreat a yearly Valentine's Day adventure. Try VRBO.com to fi nd a rental property in your desired location.
