ATV operator flown to Louisville hospital

PERRY COUNTY - A rural Tell City man was seriously injured Sunday when thrown from a four-wheeler he was operating on a county road near Indiana 145.

According to Perry County Sheriff's Department Deputy Junior Fuchs, Ernest Wallace, 37, of 6007 St. Joe Cemetery Road, was riding his Honda four-wheeler west on Atlantic Road, less than half a mile west of Indiana 145.

Salami in Stuttgart, pork cutlets in Pforzheim and cucumbers and fish in Freiburg. Another German town, another fast meal. It's my travel-food tradition and last week was no different as I touched down in Munich and spent my first hard-saved euro on a meaty sandwich of lettuce, tomatoes and bacon.

Just about every German train station has at least one sandwich kiosk - most have several - and I've been hooked on them for years. Traveling alone, I seldom sit down for lunch or supper and since I want to do and see as much as possible, I almost always eat on the go.

TELL CITY - Three Heritage Hills pitchers limited Tell City to two hits as the Patriots beat the Marksmen 5-4 in PAC baseball Wednes-day.

Tell City scored four runs in the second inning without a hit on six walks and an error.

The Marksmen started the next inning with consecutive singles by Trent Gunn and Eric Henrickson but did not score, as a line-drive double play followed.

"We hit some balls sharply but it was right at them or they made a good play," said Tell City Coach Phil DeSpain.

Perry County has been blessed with some great athletes in the 60 years that the IHSAA has held track regionals.

But apparently only two have won more than one event in the same regional - Tell City's Steve Smith at Columbus in 1975 and Perry Central's Nick Huber at Evansville Central Wednesday.

Both won both hurdles races (Smith also won the pole vault).

There are only eight regionals in the state, and the Evansville Central one included teams from as far north as Vermillion County (north of Terre Haute's Vigo County).
