Sullivan

Vintage Camper Rally reservations sought

Reservations are now being taken for the 2nd Annual Southern Indiana Vintage Camper Rally in Sullivan. This event will take place June 10-13 (Thursday through Sunday) at the beautiful Sullivan County Park & Lake between Terre Haute and Vincennes. Like last year, this event is open to all vintage campers (25 years or older), regardless of make, year, style, size or condition. The 2009 rally brought in 36 vintage campers of all makes, shapes and sizes from six different states. The farthest arrived from Florida to attend. With the growing interest in vintage campers, we expect this year’s rally to be a complete sellout. This year we are going with a tropical theme, which will make for some pretty interesting activities, decorating, entertainment, food and outfits! There will also be a huge open house for the public’s viewing from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 12. Many of these vintage trailers have been registered with the famous group Tin Can Tourists, providing the spectators with some classy and unusual campers. For more information, e-mail weluvzak@yahoo.com or call (812) 448-3434 or (812) 299-4249.

Women of Note to begin rehearsals

Women of Note, the Marshall-based vocal jazz ensemble, will begin rehearsals for its summer show from 6:30 to 8 p.m. (CST) Tuesday, at the United Methodist Church in Marshall. New voices are welcome.

The theme of the June performance is “Your Hit Parade-The Fabulous Fifties.” Rock-and-roll became popular in the 1950s, but Broadway shows and sentimental ballads also had an influence on the music of the decade. The show includes a mix of these different musical styles.

Membership in Women of Note is open to any Valley woman who enjoys singing and performing. The United Methodist Church is in downtown Marshall, across from the Post Office. For further information, contact Priscilla Wieck at (217) 826-5161.

  The bad news is that the winner of Class 4A Sectional 13 in boys basketball heads northeast instead of southeast for regional play in March — to Hinkle Fieldhouse instead of Seymour as a result of Indiana High School Athletic Association’s changes.

  There are more things to love about the Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic than could fit in this newspaper, but one of this year’s best things was that for an hour or so on Wednesday, it was Justin Paddock’s world and we were just living in it.

  The biggest difference I’ve noticed, as I transition from the high school football beat to quasi-official status as the Indiana State football beat writer for a few weeks, is the length of the games.

  When one of the first people you meet is Tammy Wynette’s stepdaughter, when you’ve stepped on the feet of people you haven’t met while trying to navigate Ernest Tubbs’ old Silver Eagle tour bus, and when the activities director of your resort is, well, Elvis, you might be vacationing in Nashville.

  I won’t get to know the kids from Casey and North Putnam until they come to Terre Haute in droves next June for the Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association All-Star game, so I guess it’s not too early for the high school football awards from this space.

• Amey Takes Aim: Biggest baseball pet peeve … Nibbling

  Having seen some outstanding baseball — and some not-so-outstanding baseball — at literally every level of play this spring and summer, I have identified what without a doubt is my main pet peeve with the sport. Nibbling. I’m not referring to popcorn or pretzels or nachos or cheese sticks or corn dogs or snow cones or candy or ice cream. Those can also be a serious problem — particularly if the kids are with me — but one that can be solved by simply running out of money.

• Amey Takes Aim: Wabash Valley is a softball powerhouse

  Greetings from the high school softball capital of Indiana. Your Tribune-Star will be spending all day Saturday at Ben Davis, dominating the press box and elbowing those other newspapers to the back row where they belong. No other paper has as many teams to cover as we do (go Panthers, go Miners and go Patriots); The Times and Post-Tribune get off to a good start with Whiting (against Riverton Parke) and Wheeler (versus Linton), but couldn’t get anything going among the bigger schools (now that my cousin Keith Hauber no longer coaches at Lake Central).

• Amey Takes Aim: Amey family travels to Astros land

  I have an uneasy feeling that I know what I’m getting for Fathers Day. Not sure how your family celebrates that holiday, but mine uses it to get me things I wouldn’t otherwise buy for myself. It’s probably the only reason I ever got a cell phone, and a couple of years ago it was a good excuse for a flat-screen TV for the living room. Yes, I use both of them now.

• Amey Takes Aim: Favorite group for boys basketball Amey Awards ... Most Improved team

  As much as I enjoyed the girls high school basketball season this past winter, I liked the boys season even better; something about a team winning its last game — or another team practically becoming the 2010 version of “Hoosiers” — will do that for you. Maybe that’s the excuse for having a record number of captains for some of the Andy Amey teams, as you are about to see.

• ANDY AMEY: Butter your popcorn! It’s time for the Amey Awards!

  Yes, you’re right. The high school girls basketball season has been over for awhile, which can only mean the Andy Amey teams are getting out a little late this spring.
