There were no injuries in a Monday morning accident at the CVS at 713 S. Washington St. Todd
Huckstep of the Crawfordsville Police Department told The Paper that an elderly woman drove a
silver 2007 Pontiac through the entrance to CVS at 9:07 a.m. “We have no reason to belief it was
anything other than driver error,” Huckstep said. CVS was open at the time of the accident.

He was a senior from Wabash
with long hair and a longer attitude
sitting in front of the football-coachturned-mayor.
It was a job interview that
might’ve resembled the maiden
voyage of the Titanic.
“I remember walking into his
office – he looked at me and said,
‘do you think you can do this job?’
I said ‘you called me.’ ”
The view from the other side of
the desk?
“It was back in the old coaching
days. You had a requirement for
your players. I asked him if he was
going to cut his hair and beard. He
said no.”

It’s official, the Crawfordsville
Municipal Golf Course is now
under the control of the Department of Parks and Recreation. After discussion from the
Crawfordsville Common Council
and Bud Arnold from the Golf
Course Authority, the ordinance
transferring control passed unanimously.
Councilman Mike Reidy
served as chairman of the
Ordinances and Petitions Committee in Dan Guard’s absence.
During the second reading of
the ordinance, Councilman Scott
Molin asked what discussions had
taken place between golf course
members and the park board or
the mayor’s office. Concern for
the views of local golfers was a
theme throughout the meeting.
“I feel like we have listened
to every side of this issue and we
are trying to find some balance
that preserves the golf course and
moves it forward but is fiscally
responsible as well. We currently
sit at a deficit and we just cannot
continue on that path,” Mayor
Barton said.

Fire Station #2, one step closer
The Paper photo by Stu Clampitt
Monday night Crawfordsville’s Fire Station #2 came another step closer to
reality. A preliminary resolution to issue bonds for construction passed the
Common Council unanimously. Keep reading The Paper for more updates.
Þ GOLF From Page A1
for a complete separation of
the finances and transparency. Director of Parks and
Recreation Fawn Johnson
pointed out that the administration would be done
by golf course employees,
separate from the Parks
Department.
During the audience
discussion, Arnold talked about the golf course
history and finances up to
this point.
“There needs to be a link
between the player and the
city,” Arnold said. “I think
that’s important. However
you staff (the golf course)
you need to remember that
the customer is the boss.
Your boss is the taxpayer.”
Arnold went on to stress
his belief that the golf
course is important to the
community.
Before the transfer was
passed, Molin suggested
golfers speak to council
members to give feedback
and let them know what
they think.
In other action
Both Andy Biddle and
Mike Reidy took a few
moments to speak about
the lockdown incident at
Wabash College last week.
Both expressed pride and
gratitude to local law enforcement in their handling
of the situation.
“I never knew it
could be so simple.
I walked in, and
in no time, I
walked out with
great hearing!”
The Paper of Montgomery County
Þ SMOOTH From Page A1
to get a haircut for that.
I told him the worst he
could do is fire me.”
Iceberg dead ahead.
“I said, OK,” the football-coach-turned-mayor
said. “We brought him in
and he did a hell of a job.”
Iceberg avoided.
And that’s how former
Crawfordsville Mayor
Glenn Knecht and former
City Planner Tim Gagen
got started back in 1976 .
. . 40 years ago and both
men still smile about it.
“He was a go-getter,”
the now-82-year-old
Knecht said. “He was
consistent, which helped
him. In that type of job if
there’s a chink in your armor they’ll tear you apart.
He was consistent.”
Gagen was indeed. He
spent eight years with
Knecht and a group both
called “a great team.”
“There was Tim and Fred
Davis, Carlos Goode, Jim
Harper, Rita Hamm . . . “
Knecht said. “I had a good
group. We were young but
the city of Crawfordsville
needed a change.”
After eight years on the
team Gagen was ready for
a change. He moved north
to Lowell and took over
as the town manager. That
began a series of career
moves that eventually
landed him in Breckenridge, Colo. as town
manager.
That was 16 years ago
and now he’s ready for at
least one more change. In
May, the 62-year-old will
retire.
“It’s time,” he said.
“I’m looking forward to
it.”
Gagen and the former
Ann Schneider (they got
married when they lived in
Crawfordsville) are keeping their eyes on the future
instead of the past.
“Ann and I are looking
at an RV,” Gagen said.
“There are lots of places
we haven’t been to yet.”
They’ll still come back
to Crawfordsville from
time to time, both for
Ann’s family and Wabash
visits.
“Ann’s had a couple of
bouts with cancer,” Gagen
said. “She’s OK now but
we decided the time was
right.”
When not traveling,
they plan on staying in
Breckenridge. Gagen,
who spent his youth in
New Jersey before moving
to South Bend (his dad
worked for United Way),
says the western lifestyle
suits him.
“I do a lot of skiing and
biking,” he said. “We’ve
taken lots of ski trips; Canada, the U.S., Europe.”
He was active back in
the day in Crawfordsville
as well – especially in softball. That’s how attorney
Dan Taylor got to know
him.
“He came by the (Beta
Theta Pi) house and was
looking for some guys
to play,” Taylor remembered. “His team was
really diverse. He looked
at everybody on their own
merits. That’s really valuable. He was just a good
leader.”
Gagen will be back in
Crawfordsville shortly
after he retires. He said
the memories from here
are good ones.
“I’m very thankful of
my time (there). “Lots
of good people. I was
able to get a great background for what I ended
up doing. I want to thank
Glenn Knecht for hiring a
shaggy-haired bearded kid
from Wabash.”
It sounds like a move no
one regretted.

In Monday's edition of
The Paper, County Republican Chair John Pickerill

Community helps
shape pocket park
By Isaac Taylor
news@thepaper24-7.com
A wealth of community
input came out of Monday
afternoon's Pike St. pocket park planning meeting
co-sponsored by the City
of Crawfordsville and the
Wabash College Democracy and Public Discourse
(WDPD) group. More
than 60 people came to
discuss what they wanted the park to look like
and what amenities they
thought it should provide.
Among the most desired
amenities were permanent restrooms, a performance stage for events,
appropriate seating and
professionally-designed
green spaces. The overall
goal of the park would be
to create an aesthetic that
serves to beautify the city
and further revitalize the
downtown as part of the
Stellar project, as well as
fostering a more open,
can president." In fact, the
quote should have read,
"If we unite around these
beliefs in November, we
will have a Republican
Senator, Republican pres-
connected, active community.
Dr. Sara Drury, director of WDPD, commented on the initiative's
role in playing host to the
pocket park meeting when
she said, “It was clear the
Mayor's office wanted to
hear from the community
about what they wanted,
and so we started working
with them on designing a
process that would allow
for maximum participation from the community."
Drury said the purpose
of WDPD is to be a,
“resource for community organizations and
for different aspects of
government that want to
hold a more participatory
decision-making process."

The Paper of Montgomery County
Nobody assesses risk like Wabash College
The Paper
According to a study
by homeinsurance.com,
Wabash College has the
nation’s best actuary
program.
What is an actuary? An
actuary is an analyst who
determines the likelihood
of risks. These individuals
are crucial to the insurance
field, as they evaluate the
risks associated with your
home, car and life and use
those findings to determine
the cost of your premiums.
For example, an actuary
would determine the risk
of insuring your home by
taking into account your
home’s location, its characteristics and your insurance history. Do you live
in an area prone to breakins? Do you own an older
home? Have you filed
several claims in the last
few years? These questions—along with many
others—allow actuaries
to accurately determine a
reasonable premium for
you by using statistics to
calculate how risky it is to
insure your property.

Dr. Mary Grace Del Torto Ludwig
September 3, 1926 - February 21, 2016
Dr. Mary Grace Del Torto Ludwig, 89, passed away
peacefully in her home on Sunday, February 21, 2016. Family and friends were
by her side.
She was born to Nicholas and Elizabeth (Turso) Del Torto on September 3,
1926 in Harrison, N.Y. She grew up in
the neighboring town of Port Chester in
a close knit Italian family. She graduated
from Port Chester High School in JanuLudwig
ary, 1944 and enrolled in the College of
New Rochelle that same month. After
graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1947,
she quickly found work in a chemistry lab at Memorial Hospital in New York City. She then worked at
Sloan-Kettering Institute in cancer research.
Her work led her to the University of Virginia where
she attended medical school and met her husband and
fellow classmate, Paul Ludwig. They were married on
June 15, 1957 and graduated medical school together the
following year.
From there she went to Kansas City for and internship

in P.E.O chapter BE and a member of St. Bernard’s
Catholic Church.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Dr. Paul
Ludwig; her four children, son Will (Kay) Ludwig of
Franklin, and three daughters, Julie (Dan) Berfors of

actuary, Wabash is you
best college.
Wabash is one of three
remaining liberal arts
colleges in the nation that
maintains an all-male
student body. It offers
25 majors of which the
mathematics major can
be focused on statistics
to lead to a career as an
actuary. CBS Moneywatch
compiled a list of the 25
colleges with the best
professors, and Wabash is
the only higher education
institution in Indiana to
score a slot on the list.
The school prides itself on
changing the lives of its
students and was featured
in Loren Pope’s 1996 book
“Colleges That Change
Lives.”
Homeinsurance.com
compiled its top 15 list by
comparing the 24-year median
pay for high school graduates
against the 20-year median
pay for college graduates with
a bachelor’s degree, minus
college costs, for U.S. colleges
with actuarial programs.

The North Montgomery Chargers gymnastics
team was coming into
the County meet after
having tied the school
team record of 94.6.
Not only did they sprint
away with the County
championship but they
also broke the record
that they set earlier this
year with a team score of
95.7.
“They had a great
night,” Charger coach
Alyce Myers said. “They
all worked really hard
and keep continuing to
improve.”
Sophomore Rhiannon
Harpel cleaned up in
each event with four
firsts, ending with an allaround County victory of
33.45.
“She is getting more
consistent each time,”
Myers praised. “She is
cleaning up her gymnastics and is a very talented
gymnast. I am expecting
great things from her in
the next couple of years,
looking into Sectionals
and beyond.”
Charger Camilla Clark
came in a close second
for three of the four
events on her way to
a second place in allaround at 32. South’s
Hailey France came in
third all-around (30) with
two third places, a fourth
place and an eighth

Southmont placed
second as a team with a

“The whole team has
really ended on a high
note with some high
scores and our highest
floor scores for everybody,” Mountie coach
Aimee Zachary said.
The France sisters
greatly contributed to
the team score with their
vault and floor routines.
Courtney France placed
second in floor with an
8.9, just under Harpel’s first place and tied
for third in vault with
an 8.4. Hailey France
placed third in floor and
tied with Courtney in
vault.
“They were a lot
cleaner,” Zachary said of
the France sisters. “They
both stuck landings on
the vault so I think that
showed in the score.”
Crawfordsville rounded out the County
schools with a third place
at 75.8. Athenian Emily
West had the highest
placement with a fourth
in beam.
“Emily had a no fall
beam routine tonight and
I couldn’t be happier
for her because she has
been working so hard on
that,” Athenian coach

Marka McKeown said.
Junior Sam Conkright
contributed two 6ths, a
7th and a 10th place to
the team score which
was above the team’s
goal for the day.
The three teams head
to Sectionals Saturday
at Lafayette Jefferson at
11 a.m. against 11 other
Indiana teams.
McKeown said their
goal is over 80 for the
team score.
“It would be tough but
it would be awesome if
we could come out of
there with an 80,” she
said. “Aim high and let’s
go out with a bang.”
Myers said their County win will help propel
them to Sectionals.
“It contributes to the
energy getting prepared
for Sectional and we
will continue to work on
cleaning up our routines
and bringing our best
gymnastics on Saturday,” she said.
The Mounties had their
highest team score of the
year Monday.
“Hopefully we can
have good practices this
week and end the season
at Sectionals on a good
note,” Zachary concluded.
Charger Kennedy
Welliever was the sole
senior at the County
meet and has lettered
