Turtle on a fencepost By Stu Clampitt stu@thepaper24-7.com If you see a turtle on a fencepost you know one thing for certain, “Somebody helped him get up there,” said Bill Boone, the first inductee at Saturday’s Southmont Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Crawfordsville Country Club. Boone’s point was that his induction as legend award winner would not have been possible without all the help he had during his career. That sentiment was echoed throughout the night as every inductee offered a list of thanks to those helped along the way. Thanks went out to mothers who kept dinners warm for young athletes coming home late from practices and games, coaches, teammates, fathers, brothers, and everyone who offered support, encouragement and instruction. Saturday’s inductees include: Legend Award Winners Bill Boone, Mike Mitchell, Steve Powers (accepted by Kim Ruggles, daughter), Howie Williams (accepted by Dave Williamson) Individuals Rob Carey, Nick Hodges, Bert Jones, Orry Stull, Marvin Walters, Ryan Williamson, Steve Williamson (coach), Barry Lewis (special contributor) 1979 Baseball Team Seniors: Darrell Bayless, Jeff Bruner, Mike Case, Jeff Deck, Barry Lewis, Marty McGaughey, Jim Stull, Dan Taylor, Dave Taylor Juniors: Kevin Archer, Bob Brewer, Rhett Welliever Sophomore: Chris Black Freshmen: Mike Reath, Jamie Welliever Head Coach: George Davis Assistant Coach: Charlie Coffman Talkin’ turkey, politics, family Jutta Hutson, smiles because it’s almost Christmas! She was excited to see the snow last weekend because it means Christmas is right around the corner. She shows her Christmas spirit as a volunteer at The Christmas Shop. THREE THINGS You Should Know: 1 All Crawfordsville city offices will be closed on Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving. There will be no trash or recycling pickup. Trash and recycling routes which are normally picked up on Thursday will be picked up on Monday. 2 The Volunteers for Mental Health in Montgomery County Christmas drive runs through Monday with boxes and barrels throughout Crawfordsville and the surrounding towns of Montgomery County. 3 Just past the eating, the crowds and the online shopping, comes Giving Tuesday: the day when you get to fill your life with the things money can’t buy. Giving Tuesday is Dec. 1. Join the movement. Mark your calendars. Give. Learn more at www.givingtuesday.org. 50¢ What are you thankful for? It’s that time of year again. The older I get the faster holidays seem to come around. What’s that old saying about time flies when you’re having fun? I don’t know about that. I do know that time from one year to the next seems to be like my hairline, shrinking. This is the holiday where I am supposed to write a few words about all the things I’m thankful for. If you are one of the seven or eight who regularly follow these silly scribblings, you know that my family, the folks I have the privilege of working with, my faith and all of you top my list each year. Yup, that’s what I’m supposed to write about. So if it’s OK with you, can we all agree that the only thing that’s changed in the above-mentioned list is that my gratitude increases each year? No exceptions. I’m the luckiest guy in the world to know who I know, have what I have and do HONEST HOOSIER Got to admit, it was kinda nice to hear that some mega-stores decided not to follow the trend and open on Thanksgiving.

Medical Care Trust (MCT) Board President Jill Rogers said the change is needed because health care has changed since MCT entered an agreement with Franciscan St. Elizabeth Health—Crawfordville . “We have providing the hospital funds for the last 30 some years and because a lot of changes in the health care scene, the way that our contract has been working doesn’t really seem to be meeting the needs of indigent care in the community,” Rogers said. “Specifically, we pay $12,000 a month to the hospital … That seemed to be working well until a few years ago when the claims started to come in significantly lower.” Rogers and two other MCT Board members approached the Commissioners on Monday morning to ask their support in reconfiguring the contract with the hospital. “We would like to end the contract with the hospital and reconstruct it so it better aligns with the mission—which is provide care to the indigent and underserved populations in Montgomery County,” Rogers said. She explained that the community’s indigent population is increasingly insured through HIP 2.0 or the marketplace. So, she said, the amount of actual claims received from the hospital is more like $3,000-$7,000 per month. She also said the free clinic is also a new destination for the uninsured and MCT is not currently able to entertain See MEDICAL Page A4 THE MONTGOMERY MINUTE Give thanks in New Ross New Ross Christian Church is hosting their fourth annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner. Church elder Mark Perry said the church hopes people will come enjoy dinner with them, especially those who don’t have any place to celebrate. The dinner will take place from noon to 2 p.m. and offer all you favorite Thanksgiving fixings: turkey, dressing, potatoes, sweet potatoes, dessert and more. New Ross Christian Church is located at 212 N. Main St., New Ross. TODAY’S JOKE Why’d the turkey cross the road? To prove to the opossum it could be done.

The local Republican Chair, John Pickerill, now has some free time and is once again advocating for the elimination of Montgomery County’s Economic Development organization, Indiana West Advantage. In addition, Pickerill has proposed a lasseiz-faire (hands off) economic plan which is to actually have no plan, as a proposed solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. IWA is not broken and does not need to be fixed or eliminated. In fact IWA fulfills at least one of Pickerill’s six principles in that its mission is to help small and large businesses start up or expand. They are also instrumental in helping companies sort out certain utility requirements, local regulations including land use and zoning and interacting with City and County government. IWA is in fact a facilitator of business. Their mission should continue to be supported as they do bring tangible benefits to the community as a whole. In addition to security, government also provides schools, roads, fire and disaster relief among other essential services. Pickerel's desire for smaller government, providing less PROUDLY REPRESENTING services, is a recipe for stagnation of the community, which seems to be one of his goals. Communities must continue to maintain and improve their quality of life in order to maintain and grow their population. Communities that have a bare-bone government will end up with a bare-bone population decreasing in number and sliding into irrelevance. The unregulated, untaxed and over policed world described by Pickerill will not bring prosperity, only ruin. Sincerely, Michael P.

The school board talked about the low scores, adopted an honorary board member and put a spotlight on Lester B. Sommer’s Art Club. Superintendent Colleen Moran said there will be lower passing rates, at North Montgomery, around the county and across the state. She said there will probably be few, if any, passing grades for schools in the county. She said the results do not mean kids are suddenly failures, it just means they have not had enough time to learn the new curriculum. “I want to tell you before anybody panics when the results come out that these are still the great students that they were in the past and they will continue to do great things in school,” Moran said. “I want our community to remember what is important. We need parents involved with our students more than we ever have.” Moran and school board president Dick VanArsdel hopes that concerned parents and citizens will talk to legislators about reconsidering high stakes testing. “Why we have to think that one test can cover everybody when we have all of these individuals--it is utterly ridiculous to think,” VanArsdel said. “It’s time we get back to letting teachers teach school. We have far too many hours with testing and teaching to the test.” To read what other “Your Space Comes From Our Place” KITCHEN - BATH - MEDIA ROOM IN YOUR PLANS? LET US HELP!

MCT Secretary Carolyn Snyder said it is important to make sure the uninsured get good care, where ever they go for help, not just at the hospital. “We want to be able to provide services to those who cannot provide for themselves what we who have insurance expect from our physicians and from the different agencies that we take part in. The free clinic is not able to provide those things—just the bare minimum—there may be another agency that we can help, too,” Snyder said. “We are not doing everything, we are just looking at best practices for health in Montgomery County.” All three commissioners expressed support for changing the agreement with the hospital. Commissioners Terry Hockersmith and Jim Fulwider both applauded MCT’s efforts and agreed this would be a good move to allow them more freedom to put money where the county most needs help. “I certainly think you should have the freedom to do what you think is best. You’ve been good stewards of that over the years and I appreciate your efforts,” Hocker- smith said. “Like you said, health care is constantly changing. If you had those freedoms you could probably do a better job than if you are tied to this one thing.” Rogers said MCT would stick with the contract until the end of the year. MCT will be will be ironing out how to move forward with MCT’s lawyer, John Capper and County Attorney Dan Taylor. Snyder said she does not believe the contract has an official end date. Other actions taken by the commissioners can be found on our website, thepaper24-7.com. Þ TALKIN’ From Page A1 what I do. No one realizes that more than me. If I may, then, I’d like to go down a different path of gratitude. If you’ve got nothing better to do for the next few minutes I’d love to have you come along. We’re going to talk a little business, a little politics and a little family. Now, before you turn the page to see what Mallard Fillmore and Snuffy Smith are up to, please know this won’t become a Maury Povich episode. I promise. Here at the Little Paper That Could, life has been a struggle. You could say that life is a struggle for many in the printed newspaper industry and that would be both an accurate and fair point. But for a newspaper that wasn’t more than an idea on a piece of paper 12 years ago, it’s been especially tough. We struggled mightily for the first four years, and just as we were soooo close to hitting break even, Lehman Brothers went belly up. Merrill Lynch, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and AIG almost did. The economy hit a rough patch the likes of which this country had not seen since the not-so-great depression in 1929. The Little Newspaper That Could was right on the verge of turning the proverbial corner and instead took a turn for the worse – like so many other businesses, bunches of whom did not survive. Either we were lucky, blessed or both, but we survived. Barely, but we did. I’ll spare you the year by year, blow by blow details but there have been enough twists and turns to turn the 24 hours of Le Mans into 48. And still, here we are, all big and grown up. We’ve gone from one little newspaper flag to five. Does that mean we’ve made it? Absolutely not. After what we’ve been through, you’ll never hear any of us say that. You won’t see us acting complacent either. We know far too well what it took to get here and there isn’t one of us who doesn’t appreciate and respect it. You also won’t see us change. We’re a small business and right proud of that. We’ve created jobs in this and other communities. Other media companies have reduced the number of employees. That’s not an opinion, just a fact. We also support the non-profit worlds in our communities. Again, no opinion there. Just fact. We don’t do it because we want credit. It’s just who we are and what we do. Another thing we do is support the political process. For as much as people gripe about it, we often forget we’d be in a hell of a mess without it, wouldn’t we? We have said over and over – and will continue to say – our differences are not the problem. Our differences are what make this community and this nation great places. If we respect different opinions and everyone’s right to have them then we’re surely better off. Let’s put our efforts into getting more people involved. That’s where the real answers lie. But enough business and politics. I said I’d write about family, too. J.M. THOMPSON INSURANCE One g good name. A team of good people. Insurance, Answers & A Personal Touch 362.8858 121 S. Washington St. That seems a good place to wrap up this week’s ramblings. At the end of the day, gratitude for me starts at home. In a couple of days, a lot of us will be sitting around a table enjoying a harvest of plenty. For my family, like a lot of yours, there’ll be fewer people in those chairs than the year before. Life and time wait for no one. Which means, my friends, there are no guarantees on who’s there, or even if those seats will be occupied come next Nov. 24. No guarantees on where anyone will be, what they will be doing. When it gets right down to it, we aren’t guaranteed much of anything. So let us be grateful for what we do have; for the people, the things, the time. Let us take a moment to express that gratitude and, from this little corner of the pressroom, here’s hoping we allow our gratefulness to shine through more often than not.

Tonight starts boys’ swimming. Boys and girls teams start conference meets. Athenians build off last year By Maria Leichty maria@thepaper24-7.com LORI POTEET From Behind The Lens Saturday rundown Congratulations to Western Boone girls’ basketball for winning their seventh straight Sugar Creek Classic. The Paper of Montgomery is proud to sponsor the tournament and happy that it continues to be a growing success. I personally am holding out hope that someday again I will get a chance to take photos of a county team accepting the classic trophy. Also, congratulations to The Paper of Montgomery County’s All-Tournament Team: MVP: Rachel Ramey (WeBo) Callie Gaubera (Western Boone) Madison Jones (Western Boone) Reagan Case (Southmont) Paige Schueren (Crawfordsville) Carli Cahill (North Montgomery) We would also like to thank St Francis Health Alliance for their co-sponsorship of the Sugar Creek Classic. Along with the tournament, they also sponsored the hospitality room and, once again, the food was excellent and made by North Athletic Trainer Isaac Hook and his wife Holly. The Paper staff very much appreciates the hard work that was put in by the Hooks and North Montgomery High School for hosting the event. As much as I would like to see a county team win the classic, I can say without a doubt that the best team won. I hate to say it but I don’t think we saw the full potential of Western Boone. As they improve through the season, I think they may be one of the few conference teams that, if they play to their potential, may give Lebanon a game. Crawfordsville and North Montgomery girls will square off again in just a few short weeks Friday, Dec. 8. The big county rival will take place at Crawfordsville. Besides the Sugar Creek Classic finals on Saturday, Wabash hosted the first round of the playoffs and With the heavy wet snow conditions. I’m going to call it one of the worst shooting conditions in my long career. The field was so slick it was hard to even stand on it. I have no idea how the players were able to run on the field but they did and Wabash won because that’s what they do. Mason Zurek especially found a way to run . . . In fact, he ran for 312 yards and four touchdowns. Remember, he had 278 yards last week in the Bell game. Zurek is a machine when he gets the ball. This weekend he was a snow plow and no one could stop him. Wabash will host round two of the playoffs next weekend with kick off being at noon against Thomas More College. Hopefully the weather will be better than last weekend. Either way go out and cheer on the Little Giants and see what Zurek will do this week! Sunday, I also had a chance to look back at my career as a photographer. Many years ago, when I was first starting out, I worked for the Hendricks County Flyer. I had an assignment to go to Indianapolis Raceway Park and take some photos of some young hot shot sprint car driver from Lizton. The kid was 16 and clearly did not want to be there and was rather full of himself. Actually, he was a jerk all around that day for the photo shoot. I took the photos and went home thinking, ‘Well, that was a waste of my time . . . doubt the kid is that good at driving but whatever.’ Turns out that punk kid did pretty well. Yep, that sprint car driver was none other than number 24, Jeff Gordon who retired from NASCAR on Sunday and was a five-time Winston/Sprint Cup Champion. Maybe the kid was pretty good after all. At least I can now say my career has lasted longer than Jeff Gordon’s. Too bad I can’t compare our bank accounts. C’ville girls’ swim team will be returning numbers as well as adding on a few more. With five more Lady Athenians than last year, the team will host 14 swimmers and divers this season. “Part of the excitement is with the addition of some very talented freshmen this season, and with their contributions, the Lady Athenians plan to improve upon our overall record from last year,” Athenian coach Kevin Hedrick said. Emily Humphrey, Mackenzie Bowen, and Andraya Fuller will be making a splash and Hedrick said will “bring loads of talent to the squad this season and will most certainly contribute to the success of the team this year.” Three seniors will lead the team this year: Jena Ehrlich, Lexus Shambarger, and Chanya Ruby. Shambarger held the best time in 100 backstroke from last year. As far as juniors, there are four returning swimmers. The sophomore class is dominated with divers including Jayde Miller, Britney Ward and Whitney Ward, who along with Kaylee McCandless will be some of our top scorers just as they were at the SAC and sectional meets last year. Miller held the one-meter top points at 307.90. McCandless topped the 50 free charts at 27 seconds. “The goal for this season is to grow as a team and compete with fierceness the entire season,” Hedrick concluded.

The Paper photos by Lori Poteet Both boys and girls teams dive in tonight against Western Boone for their first SAC meet of the season. North brings in numbers, looks to rebuild By Maria Leichty maria@thepaper24-7.com North’s girls’ swim team graduated a hefty amount of swimmers and divers. They won county last year and went 11-5 on the season. Ashlynn Bennett was North’s top diver and broke the record for diving. However, a farewell to key divers is bringing an influx of even more which Charger coach John Walker said he did not expect. He is expecting a lot from Lauren Odle. Odle snagged three best times last season with 100 free, 100 back and 500 free. “We are going to try to get a sectional victory for her and a school record but it will be a lot of work.” Walker said. North will have five seniors on this year’s squad, including Odle. “I like to see them end their career on a best time after four years,” Walker continued. He said that the three returning seniors other than Odle are “good, solid swimmers and the backbone of the team.” These swimmers include Kaitlin and Kirstin Townsend and Abbey Woodard. The last senior is a soccer player who came out for her first year of diving: Madi Jones. North’s first meet was on Nov. 17 against Greencastle and Danville where they placed third. This was followed by second loss to Fountain Central Saturday. They will continue their season with their first SAC meet tonight against Western Boone. The boys’ swim team will have a big roster and are looking to find a place for everyone. “We’ve got some less experienced swimmers that we are going to work on and help score points in meets,” Charger coach Eric Verduin said. He added that their experience will come from swimmers like Brian Mitchell, Cole Wilson, Dylan Michael, and Mason Gaskin. They graduated five last year. Mitchell (in his fourth year of swimming), Michael Munro, Andrew Patterson and Ethan Seibel will make up this years’ seniors. Junior Gus Maxwell also will help lead the team, holding two best times last year in 100 fly and 200 free. “He had some really fast meets this summer, so we are setting some pretty lofty goals for him at the end of the year,” Verduin said. The boys’ first meet is tonight, Nov. 24 against Western Boone. Photos provided by Sherri Madison The boys and girls swim teams will both kick off SAC competition tonight against the Tri-West Bruins. Mountie swimmers look to maximize potential By Maria Leichty maria@thepaper24-7.com South’s girls’ swimming team lost three key seniors from last year: Nicole Wickholm, Katelyn Harrison, and Christa Edwards. Wickholm held the 100 fly best time at 1:14.64 while Harrison and Edwards helped round out the team with multiple second best times and supporting positions. “We lost three girls last year, which hurt our girls’ team a little bit because they were pretty strong for our team,” Athenian coach Ian Line said. However, he added that they have a strong group of returning girls as well. Junior Maddie Wickholm holds six best times from last year in 50 free, 100 back, 100 breast, 200 free, 200 IM, and 500 free. “She won sectionals and went to state which I think was really, really cool for her as a sophomore,” Line said. “She is really, really determined to get some records and go back to state and actually come back the next day.” The Mounties will have two seniors, Dakota Spivey and Jacque Dayhoff. Spivey returns with fellow cross-country runner, Kelsey Dugger. The Mounties will have 10 swimmers total and will be switching people around. “We are going to have to be really strategic about who we can put where so I am really excited to see what comes out of putting people in different events all year,” Line said. The girls’ jumped in on Nov. 17 against McCutcheon but couldn’t find a win. They will continue with their first SAC meet tonight against Tri-West. South’s boys’ team will also be switching around. “Our boys have improved steadily throughout the past year,” Mountie coach Buck Waddell said. “I hope they can carry the momentum from sectionals that they had over into that first meet. They are enthusiastic and I think they can do well. We are just going to mixing a lot of stuff up and see where it lands.” Four seniors will be leading the team, Wyatt Waddell, Stephen Cloncs, Jackson Essex, and Joseph Weaver. Their first meet will be on Nov. 24 at Tri-West. 1,697 3,590 SAVINGS TOTAL $ Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2015 A6 STK#52097C SAVINGS TOTAL $ The Paper of Montgomery County STK#52177C FMCCFinance Retail CustomerCash Friends&Neighbors FMCCFinance Retail CustomerCash PackageDiscount Friends&Neighbors 1,250 1,250 $ 1,090 $ $ New 2015 C/MAX HYBRI D C/MAX HYBRID New 2 FIESTA SE H/B FIESTA S NewFriends2015& Neighbors New 2015 1,090 Friends & Neighbors Retail Customer Cash FMCC Finance $ Package Discount Retail Customer Cash FMCC Finance 1,250 $ 1,250 $ 3,590 TOTAL $ SAVINGS 8488420000-CJ $250 $750 $490 $207 STK# 52177C TOTAL $ NewSAVINGS 2015 FIESTA SE H/B New 2015 C/MAX HYBRID Friends & Neighbors $207 2051 Sagamore Pkwy So., Lafayette, • www.Raisor.com Friends & Neighbors IN 47905 1,090• 765-447-9444 • 877-484-4557 New 2015 New 2015 C/MAX HYBRID TOTAL TAURUS $ SEL SAVINGS 3,590 MIKE RAISOR NewNew 2015 2 FIESTA SE H/B Explorer $ $ Retail Customer Cash FMCC Finance STK# 52097C Package Discount Retail Customer Cash FMCC Finance 1,250 $ 1,250 $ STK# 52177C Friends & Neighbors $2,010 1,090 Friends & Neighbors RetailCash Customer Cash $4,000$1,250 New 2015 Retail Customer $ now It’s an inside deal, TAURUS SEL 1,250 FMCC Finance FMCC Finance Bonus Cash $750 Friends & Neighbors $2,010 STK# 52072C STK# 52072C TOTAL 6,760 $ TOTALSAVINGS $ $ TOTAL TOTAL SAVINGS $ SAVINGS SAVINGS 6,760 FMCC Finance Bonus Cash $750 3,590 6,760 Retail Customer Cash FMCC Finance Bonus Cash $4,000 $750 1,697 Package DiscountDiscount New 2016 Package Retail Customer Cash Explorer 4x4 XLT Retail Customer Friends & Neighbors $2,390 Cash FMCC Finance $800 SAVINGS Package Discount for everyone.

The Indiana Department of Homeland Security and the Indiana State Police are reminding Hoosiers to keep safety in mind when shopping in stores or online this holiday season. Online Shopping Online shopping should only be done on a computer or device that belongs to the shopper, and on a secure and trusted network. Important reminders when making purchases online: • Only shop on wellknown sites, and check to be sure they have security enabled. Look for web addresses with “https://” or “shttp://”, which means the site takes extra measures to help secure information. • Be cautious of offers online. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. • Keep operating systems, browsers, and anti-virus software updated. Patches and updates for software are released when vulnerabilities have been discovered. • Change passwords often, about every 30, 60 or 90 days. • Set strong passwords using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation. Don’t use the same password for multiple accounts. In the store Retail outlets are often crowded during the holiday season. It’s easy to get distracted, but stay aware of the surroundings. • Take time to identify exits, and the quickest, safest route to get out in case of an emergency. Remember, no bargain is worth ignoring a fire or other alarm. • Have a plan in case children become separated. Select a central meeting place, and make sure they know who to call or where to go. • Report suspicious be- havior to on-site security, the Indiana Intelligence Fusion Center at iifc@iifc. in.gov or 877.226.1026, or, if violence is imminent call 9-1-1. Regardless of where or how a purchase is made, save all receipts. Print receipts from online purchases and keep them with receipts from store purchases. These can be used later to check credit card or bank statements for fraudulent purchases. For more information on holiday shopping safety, visit GetPrepared. IN.gov.
