It’s best to stay on Claire’s good side
Perry Pratt was the kind of
man everyone would want living
in their hometown. As owner of
Valley Country Store, Perry was
a friend of just about everybody
in the Valley.
With the closest real supermarket 16 miles away in Springfield, the good folks of Lennox
Valley relied on Pratt’s for
their everyday goods like fruit,
dairy products and Jello. It was
comforting to know that Pratt’s
was in good hands. Perry had
inherited the business from his
father, who had it passed to him
from his father, the founder.
Perry was more than a grocer.
He was friendly. He was fair.
He never tried to get rich off
his neighbors. Like his father,
Perry just worked to make an
honest living.
His honesty was a major reason people felt like they could
trust him. As he rang up their
groceries, Perry would listen to
their stories, from sick children
to dying parents to problems
with the harvest. He had heard
it all.
One of Perry’s funniest memories was listening to the three
protestant ministers discuss
their recent valley-wide revival.
Father O’Reilly and his flock
at All Saints didn’t go in for
such things, but the other three
churches on the square held a
revival meeting together every
four years, coinciding with the
Summer Olympics.
“Brother Martin,” Brother
Billy Joe Prather, pastor at First
KEVIN SLIMP
The Good Folks of Lennox
Baptist Church, asked the Lutheran pastor, “How were your
results from the revival?”
“They were wonderful,”
beamed Pastor Martin. “We

On July 24, The Paper ran
a letter to the editor from
Charlie Miraglia, M.D., the
president and CEO of the
Indiana Blood Center.
Dr. Miraglia wrote: “On
Thursday, July 14, Indiana
Blood Center notified the
Indiana State Department of
Health that our blood supply
had fallen to critically low
levels — less than a one-day
supply of units on our shelves.
It was a position no blood
center ever wants to be in.
We monitor our donations in
real-time and are on standby,
ever ready to answer the call
from a hospital that needs
more units. Truly, it is a bythe-minute proposition. We
must keep enough blood on
the shelf that one traumatic
accident or one surgery with
complications isn’t a critical
blow to the blood needed for
another patient or another
hospital.”
He finished with an appeal
that we do something, donate
blood, encourage others, do
something.
The staff and owners of The
Paper, Montgomery County’s
oldest locally owned daily
newspaper listened. So on
Aug. 18, The Paper is proud
to be the site for a community
blood drive and old-fashioned newspaper open house.
The Indiana Blood Center’s
Bloodmobile will be in front
of The Paper’s offices at
101 W. Main St., just across
from the courthouse from 9
a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Potential
donors are welcome to schedule appointments at www.
donorpoint.org, be sure to
enter sponsor code E065. Of
course walk-ups are welcome
as well.
After giving blood, please
take a little bit to visit The
Paper. Just come in the front
doors of the Elston Building
(PNC Bank is on the ground
floor) and take the elevator to
the third floor. The Paper will
have refreshments, specials
and door prize drawings
throughout the drive.

From assistant to head coach
Summer
Sideline
By Maria Leichty
[email protected]
NEW MARKET — Consistency is key for
Maddie Burton.
Burton is the first-year Southmont girls soccer head coach and also played for Southmont
from 2007 to 2011. She had three different
head coaches during her four years there.
A big reason she stepped into the head
coaching position this year was that she wanted to keep some consistency for the team.
“With three coaches, it can be hard because
each coach comes in with different expectations,” she said of her experience in high
school.
The current Mountie seniors on the team
have played under three different coaches as
well now. However, Burton is familiar with
their style.
Burton was the assistant under Coach Julia
Pierce last year. The team went 9-7 and had a
Sagamore Conference record of 3-5.
“They know what to expect from me and
they are familiar with me so it was an easier
transition for both of us,” Burton said.
She said she knows how the girls like to be
coached.
“It was a huge help transitioning from last
year when I had more of a backseat role and I
got to observe,” Burton said. “I feel like I can
understand them so much more because I got
to observe so much last year.”
Burton has coached all ages from boys and
girls club teams to Southmont’s middle school
team. This is her fourth year coaching.
“I love working with people and I love
pushing them to succeed,” she said.
She has always wanted to coach but wasn’t
sure where her nursing degree would take her.
She is the school nurse at Ladoga and Walnut
Elementary Schools and said the schedule is
perfect for coaching.
“I always imagined myself enjoying coaching but it was always dependent to where my
job took me,” Burton said.
The job took her right back near her old
high school where she has the chance to coach
a team she once played for.
When she planned a scavenger hunt for the
team this past week, she thought about her
time at Southmont.
“I was walking around the school posting
some clues and I was just thinking how nice it
is because I’m familiar with the people and I
know how the whole system works,” she said.
Burton said winning County and Conference
are big goals for this year.

Maddie Burton will lead the Mountie girls soccer team in the 2016 season.
“County championships are always awesome,” she said. “We also want to have an
approach of winning Conference. We know
we have tough opponents ahead of us but
winning is definitely on our radar.”
However, Burton has a bigger goal in mind.
“One thing we are hitting hard is that we
have high expectations for the girls on and off
the soccer field,” she said. “We really want
to instill habits in them that are going to allow
them to have success and win some games.
Then we also want those habits to carry over
into the classroom and into the community and
when their athletic careers are over, we want
them to still utilize what we taught them with
whatever they are working for.”
From an assistant to a head coach, Burton
said the transition has been good. As an assistant, “it’s really about supporting the head
coach and carrying that through as someone
who the girls can communicate with,” she
said.
“When you have the head coach you get to
do more of the delegating,” she continued.
“So I’m giving some of these responsibilities
that I’m used to having and handing those
over to my assistant. And I have great assistants so I’m really excited about that.”
The team kicks off the season under Coach
Burton Aug. 16 at home against Cascade.

Blinding light at end of the tunnel
As I look back over the
summer (a statement I
should not have to make
until September, but
school starts ridiculously early this year), I am
struck by how far I have
come in the past twelve
months. Last summer, I
was a quivering mess of
nerves and stress. Major life changes such as
divorce, moving to a new
home after twenty years,
children leaving the nest,
and a faith crisis had set
my world spinning.
Many readers who had
walked the path before me
offered encouragement by
sharing their own stories.
There were phone calls,
texts, social media messages, emails, and a few times
I even got cards via snail
mail. Well-meaning people
reached out in person, too.
Sometimes in the grocery
store, or at local restaurants, and even a couple of
times in public restrooms.
I appreciated hearing their
stories, and I clung tightly
to their words.
The most oft repeated
refrains were, “I promise
it gets better,” and “A
year from now, you will
be better off than you ever
GINGER LUMPKIN
Honeycomb
imagined.”
I couldn’t imagine it.
In the depths of darkness,
I couldn’t see how a total
upheaval of everything I
held dear would ever get
better.
One day, in the hair
salon, a woman in her
late seventies exhorted,
“Right now, you can’t see
the light at the end of the
tunnel, but I promise you
it is there. You just have
to stay the course, one foot
in front of the other, and
eventually it will appear.”
She divorced in a time
when society was hard
on women who made that
decision, and when being
a single mother was even
more difficult than it is
today. But she reassured
me that she would make
the same decision again,
that her grown children
(middle aged now) were
just fine, and that once she
got through that first year,
she never looked back.
So, here it is a year
later, and this summer
has been incredible. My
life is full of surprises and
delights. At the age of
forty-six, I feel like I am
eighteen again, and everyone wants to know what I
am going to do for the rest
of my life. The options
are limitless, and it is all
up to me. I am choosing
differently now than I did
at eighteen. Back then,
my life’s goal was to get
married and have babies.
So, I did, and I fully
invested for twenty-five
years.
But now, I get a
chance to choose my path
again, so I have decided
to make life an adventure. When someone
says, “Let’s hop on a
train and ride across the
country,” I go. When I
get a hankering to jump
out of an airplane, I get it
scheduled. When I need
to drive to Canada to mark
an item off my bucket list,
I just do it.
The second half of
my life is probably well
under way, and I don’t
plan to spend a minute
of it waiting for things to
happen. If I don’t make
them happen now, they
never will. I am examining
each opportunity with the
question in mind, “Why
CAN I do this,” rather
than telling myself all the
reasons that I can’t. I am
rewriting my life story
with the plots I choose,
the characters I want to
include, and making my
own happily ever after.
To every reader that
took the time to encourage me, I thank you from
the bottom of my heart.
You were right! It did get
better than I could have
imagined. And to those of
you who are in the throes
of a major life upheaval,
stay strong. Right now,
you can’t see the light at
the end of the tunnel, but I
promise you it is there.

Reader urges voters
to free Mike Pence
Dear Editor,
Donald Trump the
Republican candidate
for President has racked
up a series of hateful
comments regarding
war veterans, Muslims,
Mexicans and others.
His running mate Mike
Pence, current governor
of Indiana continually
tries to make many of
Trump’s more incendiary
statements more palatable
by delivering the message in his calm Indiana
way.
I have objected to
Mike Pence’s government agenda in Indiana
at virtually every turn.
I have, however, found
the Governor to be an
honest and hard-working
man, with whom I have
profound disagreement.
His latest attempts to
defend Trump’s hateful
comments look painful.
As a thoughtful Hoosier I
now feel sorry for Mike
Pence.
Please consider how
Mike Pence must feel
defending the statements
of Donald Trump and do
not submit him to a four
year term of someone
locked in an abused-wife
situation, constantly
defending her primary
means of support.
Donald Trump is
abusive to all. Let Mike
Pence free by voting for
Hillary Clinton in the fall
elections.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Fons

added three souls to our
flock. How did your
congregation do, Brother
Prather?”
Billy Joe grinned from
ear to ear as he reported,
“Oh, we had a wonderful
revival. Six souls found
their way to our congregation.”
Turning to Reverend
Vickers, Brother Prather
asked, “And how about the
Methodists?”
Perry still laughs when
he remembers the Methodist pastor’s response: “We
had a better week than
either of you. We got rid
of our nine biggest trouble
makers.”
Since venturing alone
to town for the first time
a week earlier, Claire
Paletta had visited Pratt’s
The Paper of Montgomery County
in Springfield” months
earlier.
Perry explained that as
the only grocer in town,
he had never been free to
attend the breakfast or the
turkey shoot. So what he
knew of it, he learned from
reading The Hometown
News or hearing winning
shooters brag about their
victories in his store.
“I see,” she said, without asking more.
She left Pratt’s wondering if Perry was opposed
to the idea of shooting
turkeys at the church or, as
may have been the case, he
was just too busy to attend.
She wished she had asked.
For now, though, Perry
Pratt was still on Claire’s
“good” list.
She really hadn’t met
many folks in The Valley,
so neither her good or
bad lists were very long.
But she felt it necessary
to carry mental lists, as
well as to write notes on
sticky-pads that she kept on
her dinner table. Generally, those ended up on her
refrigerator door.
As she entered her
home, Claire could hear
“Rendering With Raymond” on the radio. She
quickly turned it off.
As she sat at her dining
table, she jotted two notes
and stuck them on the refrigerator door: “Good list:
Perry Pratt” and “Bad list:
Raymond Cooper.”
