The Paper
Independence Day festivals
and fireworks displays attract
large crowds every year, and the
Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) is reminding Hoosiers to be “Ready:
Whenever. Wherever.” when
attending events this holiday
weekend.
“We encourage all Hoosiers
to go about holiday celebrations as they usually would and
to their comfort level,” said
John Erickson, Director of
Public Information for IDHS.
“Independence Day is full of
tradition with all of the festivals
that happen in Indiana. We are,
however, reminding Hoosiers to
stay aware of their surroundings
when attending large events.”
One of the best ways to
stay safe at any event is to be
prepared. Preparation can help
ensure safety and calmness in
the event of an emergency.
Researching the venue ahead
of a large event can help individuals plan for any type of
emergency that may occur.
Some scenarios to consider
when attending large events:
•
How many people are
expected at the event?
•
What are the emergency evacuation protocols for the
venue?
•
What is the contact
information for security, first
aid and lost property?
•
What items are allowed, and what are prohibited?
•
How might the day’s
weather (heat, wind, storms)
affect people at the event, or

brought about a true sense
of responsibility to everyone. Local ownership
meant that all the money
spent at the paper, whether
through payroll or profits,
would stay right here in
Montgomery County rather
than go to Alabama or California. Local ownership
meant that when someone
had a question or comment, owners were easy to
contact. Local ownership
also meant that when the
community needed something, ownership had every
reason to respond, because
it meant their community needed it – not some
community hundreds or
thousands of miles away.
For the month of July,
Sagamore News Media
is celebrating Founders
Month in conjunction with
the 12th anniversary of
the founding of The Paper
of Montgomery County.
This celebration is not so
much about the founders
or even The Paper. Rather,
it’s about celebrating all of
you who have made a true
local newspaper possible
once again in Montgomery
County. The Paper will
present a month of
various features and
articles focused on that.

Stay safe with these tips  POLICE BLOTTER
CHICAGO – Ensure
your Independence Day
weekend is filled with
celebration and not regret
with these 10 fire safety
tips, from the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Region
V office in Chicago:
1. Be sure fireworks
are legal in your area
before using or buying
them.
2. Always have an
adult supervise fireworks
activities and never allow
children to play with or
ignite fireworks. Sparklers alone account for
one quarter of emergency
room fireworks injuries.
3. If you set off
fireworks, keep a bucket
of water handy in case of
malfunction or fire.
4. If fireworks
malfunction, don’t relight
them! Douse and soak
them with water then
throw them away.
5. Never ignite
fireworks in a container,
especially one that is glass
or metal.
6. Use your grill
well away from your
home and deck railings,
and out from under
branches or overhangs.
7. Open your gas
grill before lighting.
8.Periodically
remove grease or fat
buildup in trays below
your gas or propane grill
so it cannot be ignited.
9. Declare a threefoot "kid and pet-free
zone" around the grill to
keep them safe.
10. Avoid loose
clothing that can catch
fire when cooking on the
grill.
You can find more
information and tips on
being fire safe this Fourth
of July, by visiting www.
usfa.fema.gov and be sure
to download the FEMA
app, available for Apple,
Android and Blackberry
mobile devices. The app
includes home fire safety
tips and reminders users
can set to test smoke
alarms (monthly), change
smoke alarm batteries
(yearly), and practice fire
escape plans (every six
months).
FEMA's mission is to
support our citizens and
first responders to ensure
that as a nation we work
together to build, sustain,
and improve our capability to prepare for, protect
against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate
all hazards.
BGCA benefits community
The Paper
There’s some exciting
news out of the Boys &
Girls Club of Montgomery
County. A commissioned
study by Boys & Girls
Clubs of America (BGCA)
found that Clubs are a
sound investment, providing nearly $10 in benefits
to the community for every
dollar invested.
“We were thrilled, but
not surprised, to receive
the results of this study,”
said Craig Reeves, the
Chief Professional Officer
of the local Club. “We
have long known how
valuable Clubs are to our
community, but it’s great
to have independent confirmation of the benefits
Clubs provide, not only to
young people, but to their
parents and the community
as well.”
The Boys & Girls Club
of Montgomery County
has been serving the youth
who need us most for
60 years. By providing
programs that focus on
Academic Success, Good
Character and Citizenship,
and Healthy Lifestyles, the
Club has helped generations of young people
achieve the great futures
they deserve. Every
year Boys & Girls Club
of Montgomery County spends $500,000 on
operating costs, creating
$4,800,000.00 in economic benefits to youth, families and the community.
The study, conducted
by the Institute for Social
Research and the School of
Public Health at the University of Michigan, found
that every dollar invested
in Boys & Girls Clubs returns $9.60 in current and
future earnings, as well as
cost-savings, to American
communities. The biggest
benefits are from Club
members’ improved grades
and reduced alcohol use
and their parents’ earnings.
Collectively, Clubs spend
$1.4 billion annually on
operating costs, resulting
in $13.8 billion in lifetime
benefits to youth, families
and society.
The study is the first
national return on investment estimate for Boys &
Girls Clubs. Researchers
made use of newly available youth outcomes data,
collected through surveys
of Club members across
the country, to examine
how the costs required to
provide Club programming
compare to the long-term
benefits for youth and families in economic terms.
The study indicates that
Boys & Girls Club services
and programs produce tremendous value for youth,
families and their communities. Clubs help increase
the earning power of
parents, as well as of youth
when they become adults.
They also contribute to
major savings for society
by helping to prevent costly expenditures for health
care, public assistance
programs, and criminal
justice system involvement
and incarceration.

Weekly Wednesday walks
The Paper
Want to walk with the
leaders of our city? On
Wednesdays, you can do
exactly that.
Crawfordsville, Mayor
Todd Barton and the Parks
and Recreation Department are trying to promote
health and wellness and
have created Walking
Wednesdays.
The deal is that anyone
can meet at City Hall at
5:30 Wednesday and will
five kilometers, which is
about 3.1 miles. Barton, City Councilwoman
Jennifer Lowe, Parks
and Recreation Director
Fawn Johnson, Assistant
Fire Chief Jim Fulwider,
Barton’s assistant Brenda
Tarter and other members
of the city administration
will be taking part on
occasion as well.
The walk will begin at
5:30, but anyone participating can walk at their
own pace so there is no
specific finish time.
There will be six walks
– beginning Wednesday
and concluding Aug. 3 –
in all and participants can
show up for one or all six.
There is no requirement
or fee. In addition, free
pedometers will be given
to walkers.
Fireworks damage may not
be covered by insurance
Indianapolis – This
weekend kicks off Independence Day celebrations
and with that comes an
increase in the use of
fireworks. Hoosiers are
reminded that Indiana
has several laws governing fireworks and many
towns and cities have
additional ordinances that
Hoosiers must follow.
The Indiana Department
of Insurance is warning
Hoosier homeowners
and renters that accidental damage caused by
fireworks that are banned
in their counties may
not be covered by their
homeowners or renters
insurance policies. Many
insurance policies contain
provisions disclaiming
coverage for illegal acts
committed by the insured.
However, consumers
who experience injury or
property damage due to
another person’s use of
fireworks may be able to
claim benefits under their
homeowners or renters
policy
“It’s important for
Hoosiers to consider the
consequences before using
fireworks,” said IDOI
Commissioner Stephen
W. Robertson. “If some-

101 W. Main Street Suit 300
(765)361-0100
www.ThePaper24-7.com
one using fireworks accidentally starts a fire, to
their own property or that
of their neighbors, they
may not be able to turn to
their insurance company
for coverage.”
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), more
fires are reported nationwide on Independence
Day than any other day
of the year. The NFPA
reported from 2009-2013,
U.S. fire departments
responded to an average
of 18,500 fires caused by
fireworks, which included
1,300 structure fires.

history
yesterday,
easily making him
the highest
SCOTT SMITH
paid player From the Cheap Seats
in the
league.
The “franchise” as I so kindly
refer to him, will make more
money than former Super Bowl
winning quarterbacks Tom
Brady, Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Russell Wilson.
Luck, who is the reason Peyton Manning is going to have a
tough choice entering the Hall
of Fame in Canton as either a
Bronco or Colt, was the number
one pick in the 2012 NFL draft
and the ONLY reason the Colts
departed with their beloved #18.
Andrew had a solid rookie
season in the league passing for
4,374 yards, with a 54 percent
completion percentage and 23
touchdowns. However, he did,
and continues to, make some
bad decisions and finished the
season with 19 interceptions.
He led the Colts to an 11-5
record and a Wild Card spot
in the playoffs in his inaugural
season. However, a 24-9 loss to
the Baltimore Ravens ended that
season short.
Luck’s best was his third in
Indy. He threw for 4,761 yards
on a 62 percent completion
percentage with 40 touchdowns
to just 16 interceptions, a ratio
of four to one.
Again he led the Colts into
the playoffs, this time as champions of the AFC South. They
beat the Bengals in the opening
round, and he beat Peyton
Manning in Denver, 24-13,
before being dismantled by the
New England Patriots 45-7, in
the “Deflategate” game for the
AFC Championship.
We all know what happened
last year with the lacerated
kidney and the multitude of
injuries he tried to play through.
He’s back, rested, and the Colts
front office finally got smart and
drafted some trench guys to try
to protect their franchise player
this season, unlike past years.
They drafted Ryan Kelly, a
center from Alabama, in the
first round, LeRaven Smith,
a tackle from Texas Tech in
round three, Joe Haeg a tackle
from North Dakota State in
round five, and eighth rounder
Austin Blythe a center from
Iowa.
Now, don’t expect these guys
to come in and be great from
day one. The quickness and the
number of schemes takes a guy
a few years to really play well.
However, hopefully Anthony
Costanzo can help speed up the
learning curve and get the guys
playing well.
With the bolstering of the
line, that should give Frank
Gore, and the other backs, a
few more running lanes, which
will keep defenses in check to
have to respect the play-action
pass a little more which should
open up some passing lanes for
Luck to find TY Hilton, Donte
Moncrief and Phillip Dorsett.
Here’s to all the haters who
say that Andrew can’t win the
big game. Prior to Super Bowl
XLI, we were saying the same
thing about Peyton. Luck is
0-5 against New England, but
just like Manning, that can all
change in one game.
With the NFL salary cap increasing next year, and the potential to grow to $200 million
dollars in 2018, the Colts should
have cap space. I think it’s a
great signing by Jim Irsay, and I
feel that Luck, with a little help
from his lineman, will be one of
the elite QB’s in the league and
bring the Lombardi trophy back
to Indianapolis in the next three
seasons.

Mountie Cam Chadd will
be playing in the 14th annual
IBCA/IHSAA Boys Underclassmen Showcase July 13.
A total of 115 players from
around Indiana will be competing and split into teams
for the three different sessions. Incoming sophomores
to seniors are participating.
After the first session,
the players listen to a guest
speaker and go through a set
of drills. This is followed
by the final two sessions of
games.
Chadd was a junior last
season for Southmont and
led his team with an 18.9
points per game average
throughout the 2015-16 season. He totaled 434 points
with 39 3-pointers and a 78

Stay safe with these tips  POLICE BLOTTER
CHICAGO – Ensure
your Independence Day
weekend is filled with
celebration and not regret
with these 10 fire safety
tips, from the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) Region
V office in Chicago:
1. Be sure fireworks
are legal in your area
before using or buying
them.
2. Always have an
adult supervise fireworks
activities and never allow
children to play with or
ignite fireworks. Sparklers alone account for
one quarter of emergency
room fireworks injuries.
3. If you set off
fireworks, keep a bucket
of water handy in case of
malfunction or fire.
4. If fireworks
malfunction, don’t relight
them! Douse and soak
them with water then
throw them away.
5. Never ignite
fireworks in a container,
especially one that is glass
or metal.
6. Use your grill
well away from your
home and deck railings,
and out from under
branches or overhangs.
7. Open your gas
grill before lighting.
8.Periodically
remove grease or fat
buildup in trays below
your gas or propane grill
so it cannot be ignited.
9. Declare a threefoot "kid and pet-free
zone" around the grill to
keep them safe.
10. Avoid loose
clothing that can catch
fire when cooking on the
grill.
You can find more
information and tips on
being fire safe this Fourth
of July, by visiting www.
usfa.fema.gov and be sure
to download the FEMA
app, available for Apple,
Android and Blackberry
mobile devices. The app
includes home fire safety
tips and reminders users
can set to test smoke
alarms (monthly), change
smoke alarm batteries
(yearly), and practice fire
escape plans (every six
months).
FEMA's mission is to
support our citizens and
first responders to ensure
that as a nation we work
together to build, sustain,
and improve our capability to prepare for, protect
against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate
all hazards.
BGCA benefits community
The Paper
There’s some exciting
news out of the Boys &
Girls Club of Montgomery
County. A commissioned
study by Boys & Girls
Clubs of America (BGCA)
found that Clubs are a
sound investment, providing nearly $10 in benefits
to the community for every
dollar invested.
“We were thrilled, but
not surprised, to receive
the results of this study,”
said Craig Reeves, the
Chief Professional Officer
of the local Club. “We
have long known how
valuable Clubs are to our
community, but it’s great
to have independent confirmation of the benefits
Clubs provide, not only to
young people, but to their
parents and the community
as well.”
The Boys & Girls Club
of Montgomery County
has been serving the youth
who need us most for
60 years. By providing
programs that focus on
Academic Success, Good
Character and Citizenship,
and Healthy Lifestyles, the
Club has helped generations of young people
achieve the great futures
they deserve. Every
year Boys & Girls Club
of Montgomery County spends $500,000 on
operating costs, creating
$4,800,000.00 in economic benefits to youth, families and the community.
The study, conducted
by the Institute for Social
Research and the School of
Public Health at the University of Michigan, found
that every dollar invested
in Boys & Girls Clubs returns $9.60 in current and
future earnings, as well as
cost-savings, to American
communities. The biggest
benefits are from Club
members’ improved grades
and reduced alcohol use
and their parents’ earnings.
Collectively, Clubs spend
$1.4 billion annually on
operating costs, resulting
in $13.8 billion in lifetime
benefits to youth, families
and society.
The study is the first
national return on investment estimate for Boys &
Girls Clubs. Researchers
made use of newly available youth outcomes data,
collected through surveys
of Club members across
the country, to examine
how the costs required to
provide Club programming
compare to the long-term
benefits for youth and families in economic terms.
The study indicates that
Boys & Girls Club services
and programs produce tremendous value for youth,
families and their communities. Clubs help increase
the earning power of
parents, as well as of youth
when they become adults.
They also contribute to
major savings for society
by helping to prevent costly expenditures for health
care, public assistance
programs, and criminal
justice system involvement
and incarceration.

Want to walk with the
leaders of our city? On
Wednesdays, you can do
exactly that.
Crawfordsville, Mayor
Todd Barton and the Parks
and Recreation Department are trying to promote
health and wellness and
have created Walking
Wednesdays.
The deal is that anyone
can meet at City Hall at
5:30 Wednesday and will

about 3.1 miles. Barton, City Councilwoman
Jennifer Lowe, Parks
and Recreation Director
Fawn Johnson, Assistant
Fire Chief Jim Fulwider,
Barton’s assistant Brenda
Tarter and other members
of the city administration
will be taking part on
occasion as well.
The walk will begin at
5:30, but anyone participating can walk at their
own pace so there is no
specific finish time.
There will be six walks
– beginning Wednesday
and concluding Aug. 3 –
in all and participants can
show up for one or all six.
There is no requirement
or fee. In addition, free
pedometers will be given
to walkers.
Fireworks damage may not
be covered by insurance
Indianapolis – This
weekend kicks off Independence Day celebrations
and with that comes an
increase in the use of
fireworks. Hoosiers are
reminded that Indiana
has several laws governing fireworks and many
towns and cities have
additional ordinances that
Hoosiers must follow.
The Indiana Department
of Insurance is warning
Hoosier homeowners
and renters that accidental damage caused by
fireworks that are banned
in their counties may
not be covered by their
homeowners or renters
insurance policies. Many
insurance policies contain
provisions disclaiming
coverage for illegal acts
committed by the insured.
However, consumers
who experience injury or
property damage due to
another person’s use of
fireworks may be able to
claim benefits under their
homeowners or renters
policy
“It’s important for
Hoosiers to consider the
consequences before using
fireworks,” said IDOI
Commissioner Stephen
W. Robertson. “If some-

one using fireworks accidentally starts a fire, to
their own property or that
of their neighbors, they
may not be able to turn to
their insurance company
for coverage.”
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), more
fires are reported nationwide on Independence
Day than any other day
of the year. The NFPA
reported from 2009-2013,
U.S. fire departments
responded to an average
of 18,500 fires caused by
fireworks, which included
1,300 structure fires.

The Paper of Montgomery County
Friday, July 1, 2016
A9
Women throughout history have changed
Two hundred years
ago, in December of
1816, Indiana was admitted to the Union. Because
we are celebrating our
bicentennial year, I have
been doing some research
for a presentation on the
changing roles of women
over the last two centuries.
In my research, I
learned that it was in
1851 that Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton became lifelong
friends. They joined
efforts, working in social
reform activities primarily in the field of women's
rights. This was a hard
fought battle as they
were up against a societal
mindset best expressed
by Catholic spokesman
Orestes Brownson:
“We do not believe
women . . . are fit to
have their own head.
Without masculine
direction or control, she
is out of her element
and a social anomaly
-- sometimes a hideous
monster.”
I imagine the reason
men viewed women as
“sometimes hideous monsters” is because up to
this point, anesthesia had
not yet been used during
childbirth.
Fortunately, Dr. John
Snow published a paper
entitled, “On the Inhalation of the Vapor of
Ether.” He happened
to be one of the doctors
attending Queen Victoria
when she gave birth to
Prince Leopold. Having
familiarized herself with
the good doctor’s work,
she requested ahead of
time that an anesthetic
be used. Mind you, this
was her eighth time to
give birth. She knew
what she was up against,
and she wanted chloroform.
Once the Queen made
it acceptable, many others began to follow suit
despite clergy claiming
that women were ignor-
ing the decree of God

Cooking with gas (or charcoal) this weekend
Mark Twain once said, “There are
three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies,
and statistics.”
Here is a statistic just released from
the people who make Rhino propane
tanks. And it’s just in time for July 4th
weekend. By the way, I read it in the
lower left-hand corner of the front page
of USA Today, so you know it has to
be true. Brace yourself. Here it is:
69.3 percent of men prefer gas grills
over charcoal grills. But only 66 percent of women do.
What could possibly account for this
vast taste variance of 3.3 percent between men and women? I have always
accepted the statistical difference between the sexes when it came to libido,
spending habits, and consumption of
dark chocolate. Those disparities were
understandable, even obvious on their
face—especially the chocolate one. But

I want to thank the Rhino people for
opening my eyes to this cultural divide.
One last note from the people at Rhino,
an important fact to keep in mind as the
holiday approaches: 36 percent of grillers don’t know they're out of propane
gas until they‘re actually out of propane
gas.
The way you will know this at a

immensely. Marta’s home
was a wonderfully warm and
welcoming gathering place for friends and family. Harvey and Marta were blessed with five babies in four years;
she thought her diaper washing days would never end.
Out of necessity she ran a very organized household, was
an excellent cook and very strict about proper grammar.
Never end a sentence with a preposition!
She was a member of Ladoga Christian Church, an
avid fan of IU basketball, the Pacers, Colts and the PGA
Tour. Marta also loved her ten years of volunteering at
Lane House. She touched many lives there but always
thought she gained more than she gave.
The family welcomes you to call on Tuesday, June
