Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. – Heb 4:12 (NIV) THREE THINGS You Should Know: 1 GOODWILL IS THE BOMB. A Goodwill store in Wisconsin was evacuated on Saturday after employees found three grenades in a box of recently donated items. Because the grenades were inoperable, police don't believe the scare was intentional. Goodwill does not accept donated weapons of any kind. 2 MOVE OVER SCARECROW. A city in Oregon is using inflatable "air dancers" in an attempt to scare off unwanted sea lions. Port of Astoria is deploying the decorations, which are traditionally used to attract customers to businesses, to be rid of the hundreds to thousands of sea lions that inhabit local docks. 3 WILL THE REAL SLIM SHADY PLEASE STAND UP? On a night that the Florida Panthers handed out cardboard cutouts of actor Kevin Spacey's face, the "House of Cards" star surprised fans by taking off his "Spacey Facey" mask as the videoboard camera panned around the stands. Boots gives 2016 legislative highlights Many issues were debated during this year’s legislative session. Last week, I told you about the successful passage of the bills included in the Senate Republicans’ 2016 legislative agenda. This week, I've included information on some of the other important bills that passed the General Assembly this year. These include: Fighting the scourge of meth Senate Enrolled Act 80 allows pharmacists to block ephedrine sales if they don’t think the customer has a legitimate medical need for the medicine. SEA 80 works to reduce the number of meth labs in Indiana without requiring law-abiding Hoosiers to get a prescription for ephedrine medicines. Recruiting and retaining great teachers House Enrolled Act 1005 empowers school districts to create “Career Pathways” programs that provide greater pay and career advancement opportunities to teachers who take on leadership PHIL BOOTS State Senator roles. HEA 1005 also increases Indiana’s number of teachers by giving an Indiana teaching license to a holder of an out-ofstate license if he or she passed a licensure test in the former state. Repealing and replacing ISTEP House Enrolled Act 1395 eliminates ISTEP in 2017 and calls for a panel of educators and experts to establish the framework for a shorter, simpler statewide test.

County not that violent Stu Clampitt [email protected] If you heard last week’s television news about the extreme violence in Montgomery County and thought, “That can’t be right,” you are not alone and you are correct. A news program in Indianapolis reported Montgomery County ranks as sixth in the top 50 places in the country where you are most likely to be a victim of assault. Findthehome. com looked at the 2014 F.B.I. Uniform Crime Report (UCR), visualized the data and identified the counties with the highest aggravated assault rates. The F.B.I.’s UCR defines aggravated assault as “an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury.” This definition does not include simple assaults, which are assaults without the use of a dangerous weapon or where the victim does not sustain serious injuries. Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton’s first reaction to hearing the news was, “There is no way that’s possible.” According to Montgomery County Sheriff Mark Casteel, the F.B.I. was reporting the numbers which were submitted to them by the law enforcement agencies within Montgomery County. “Unfortunately, Montgomery County’s new records management system caused this error in reporting,” Casteel said. Casteel said this was a software problem, rather than human error. “In this particular instance, all reported assaults, whether substantiated or not, injury or no injury and whether a weapon was used or not, were reported from our records management system to the F.B.I. as aggravated assault due to the coding error,” Casteel said. “This explains the discrepancy between Montgomery County's reported aggravated assaults per capita and actual aggravated See SAFE Page A3 THE MONTGOMERY MINUTE Ladoga to hunt Wednesday The Ladoga Easter egg hunt on the grounds of Old Normal, 100 N.

The second year of The Challenge wrapped up with Saturday morning’s weigh-in at Athena Sport & Fitness. During that time more than $20,000 has been raised for local charities and more than 500 pounds of weight has been lost. Last year all the money went to the Montgomery United Fund For You (MUFFY) and this year’s installment of The Challenge was focused on helping the Montgomery County Boys & Girls Club. This year’s big loser was Scott Helser, who lost 13.12% of his body weight. He’s also the big winner and will receive a check for $500 for his hard work. “I really hope that this year's participants use this as a springboard to both health and friendship as a lot of us did last year,” Tim Timmons from The Paper said. The Paper, Athena Sport & Fitness and Franciscan St. Elizabeth Health partnered to raise money for the Montgomery County Boys & Girls Club through the Montgomery United Fund For You (MUFFY). “The Paper is honored to be able to give back to our community,” Timmons said. “We've already started working on next year's Challenge. If people are interested in losing weight AND raising money for a worthy cause, please contact me. We'll take applications for a few months before we select the participants. We are also considering who might be a good group to raise money for. If any non-profit organizations would like to be considered just let me know ([email protected]).” There were 17 total sponsors for The Paper photos The 2016 Challenge participants before (top) and after (above) this year’s fundraising and weight-losing competition.

As usual, patients are bombarding their doctors with requests for treatment for these illnesses and many times these requests are for antibiotics. Patients may think their doctor is not doing his or her job when the patient's request is denied. In fact, the physician is very likely practicing good medicine. First of all, I want to briefly review what antibiotics do. When I refer to antibiotics, I am generally referring to medications that help the body kill bacteria. Bacteria cause many respiratory infections. Viruses, however, cause the vast majority of infections such as the common cold, sinusitis, bronchitis and sore throats. Antibiotics are completely ineffective against viruses. Therefore, most people who present with respiratory illnesses do not need antibiotics to get better – they will make no difference in the course of the illness. Their immune systems generally will do the job and clear the viruses from the body. Most viral infections take a week or two to get over. When people get a prescription for an antibiotic a few days into the illness, they erroneously think the antibiotic did the job when in fact, they John R. Roberts, M.D. Montgomery Medicine would have gotten better without it. The over-prescribing of antibiotics for illnesses not caused by bacteria can lead to a very serious problem – antibiotic resistance. Most people are familiar with this concept, but don’t know the details of what it means to public health. The discovery of penicillin was a huge advance in medicine. People who would have died or developed serious complications from simple things like Strep throat no longer had to be as fearful. However, as the use of penicillin became more commonplace, physicians began to notice that it was not as effective in treating infections – the bacteria were staying one step ahead of medical science. The bacteria were developing resistance to penicillin by producing an enzyme that destroyed the penicil- lin. Resistance develops through natural selection. A person may have millions of a particular bacterium inhabiting their respiratory tract (or any other area of the body). Somewhere in those millions of bacteria, there may be a very few that have developed a genetic mutation giving them the ability to ward off the effect of a particular antibiotic. When a patient who is infected with these bacteria takes the antibiotic, it will kill off only the bacteria that are sensitive to it. Those few who had the mutation will be spared to reproduce and spread. Typically, killing off most of the bacteria will allow the patient to recover. The problem occurs the next time these remaining bugs cause a problem – they are now too numerous to be killed by the original antibiotic. Resistance can also develop if a patient does not complete a course of antibiotics for an infection. This happens often when someone starts to feel better and quits taking the medication. The bacteria that are most sensitive to the antibiotic are killed off early in the course of treatment. When the patient stops taking the medication the ones that have more resistance survive to repro- THE PAPER find and develop – there is a clear and present danger that the bacteria are starting to win the war. sure we have corrected the reporting issue. Casteel said he wanted the opportunity to provide local citizens with accurate data, saying, “In 2014, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office had a total of four reported aggravated assaults. By comparison, the Indianapolis news station, through no fault of its own, reported 788 aggravated assaults in Montgomery County, per capita, in 2014.” Barton said he believes more well-informed individuals will see this for the mistake is clearly was. “I don’t think most peo- ple put any credibility into that story whatsoever,” Barton said. “Certainly not in the economic development world. Those people do their due diligence and good research.” When looking at accurate data, “We are in much better shape than most of the nation,” Barton said. Needham reflected that view when he said, “I think most people feel pretty safe. It’s safe to walk down the street whether daylight or nighttime.

That’s what led to an internal review.” According to Casteel, his staff began to notice discrepancies between actual local crime numbers and what was being submitted through our records management system in June of 2014. Needham said it was hard to fix because it was, in his words, out of their hands. “We had to rely on somebody else [the software provider] to fix the issue.” Though the problem was noticed in mid-2014, the issue was not fixed until 2015. “All reporting that has been submitted to the F.B.I. from April 2013 until 2015, however, is inaccurate,” Casteel said. Tom Utley, current president of the Montgomery County council and interim director for Indiana West Advantage, told The Paper this creates problems both for a perception of quality of place and from an economic development standpoint. When asked, in light of the report, how we move forward and overcome this perception, he said, “I don’t have an answer for it.” Utley said we made the headline with the bad news and the odds are we will not make evening news for corrected data. That leaves it to Montgomery County to work on overcoming this black mark on our own. “We have a large marketing plan already written,” Utley said. “Telling our story and telling it correctly is a big part of the process. We will be doing it in an ongoing way from now on.” When asked about how we overcome this perception, Barton told The Paper, “First step is getting the truth out there.” He said we also have to make duce and refine their ability to resist the antibiotic. Resistance would not be a major problem if the bacteria did their business, killed the patient and that was that (as long as you weren’t the patient). However, bacteria are more than happy to spread to a new host and set up camp – hence the public health threat of these resistant bacteria spreading throughout the population. To make matters even worse, some bacteria have the ability to share their antibiotic resistance with other bacteria. They do this by sharing pieces of their DNA that code for resistance. From day one in the science of infectious diseases, it has been a constant battle of man against nature. As bacteria become resistant to one antibiotic, another must be discovered that will kill the resistant bugs. Scientists have been staying ahead of nature for a long time, but new antibiotics are becoming harder to for Montgomery County Commissioner District 1 A Real GOP Leader Paid for by John Frey for County Commissioner, Aaron Morgan Treasurer Public Notices City of Crawfordsville--Notice of Ordinance Enactment The City of Crawfordsville gives notice of and publishes that on 14 March 2016, the Crawfordsville Common Council adopted an ordinance amending the Title 9, Chapter 98 of the City Code to add Section 98.036 Snow and Ice Removal; Obstructing City Streets and Alleys: (A) No person may deposit by any means, including plowing, blowing, or shoveling, snow or ice cleared or removed from sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, alleys, or other areas onto any City street, alley, or parking area.

Continuing an Alamo tradition Alamo series, Part 2 Another outstanding player for tiny Alamo, as the school was always labeled, was Lawrence “Whitey” Reath who graduated in 1959. “Whitey” ended his career BILL BOONE From Then to Now as the all-time leading scorer for Alamo with 1030 in 54 games for a 19.1 average. He was second only to Charlie Bowerman for the single-season scoring record with 513 his senior year and had a high game of 38 against Richland Twp. in his senior year. Mike Melvin ended his career in third place on the career list with 828 points and third on the single season list with 450 points. Others on the top ten list are Leland “Bill” Melvin with 750 points, Joe Melvin with 720, Steve Hallett with 688, Dave Huseman with 650, Wayne Denham with 616, B. Smith with 557 and Dean Weir with 540. Four Warriors blistered the nets for 40 points as Bowerman had a school record 45 followed by Glen Williams with 43, Wayne Denham with 40 and Mike Melvin with 40. Alamo won County crowns in 1934, 1938, 1946, and 1957, but was one of only three County schools never to win a Sectional. The other two were Linden, which went into the North unit, and Ladoga, which will be the subject of our next and last school to enter the South unit. Alamo did make it to the final game of the Sectional in 1959 and Ladoga went to the final game seven times at Crawfordsville and once at Greencastle and came away empty every time. The following is a list of scoring records for the Alamo Warriors. For a photo recap of Boone’s column, see Page A5. The Paper photo by Lori Poteet The 2016 North Montgomery softball team dives into their season tonight in an away game against Central Catholic. Upperclassmen lead Chargers By Maria Leichty LINDEN – The North Montgomery softball team graduated three last year but are bringing back their top three hitters along with their two main pitchers from last season. “Katharyn Sabens and Morgan Hayes carry most of the pitching duties as they did last year,” Chargers pitching coach John Warren said. “Both of them have improved, both have gotten stronger and throw harder.” Junior Sabens pitched the most games with 16 and Hayes carried them in 12. Along with pitchers come a senior and two juniors who led the team in batting averages last year. “The good thing is four of our top five hitters are still here,” Warren said. Juniors Becca Adams and Taylor Dyson ended the year with a .359 and .269, respectively. Katharyn Sabens will double up her pitching and hitting duties after a .255 finish last year. Cheyenne Warren topped the team’s charts with a .397 and will be one of three seniors leading the team, along with Victoria Neideffer and Kennedy Welliever. “All three of them are bringing good leadership to the team,” Charger head coach C.J. Adams said. “They have stepped up their efforts, showing the underclassmen what it is going to take.” The main core of the team comes from the sophomore numbers. Both Adams and Warren said they like their prospects from this class. “I have really liked what I have seen out of three of them, especially, and hopefully they can step in and fill in holes we definitely need filled,” he said. The 2015 squad ended at 3-23, 1-13 SAC with their three wins coming against Turkey Run, Clinton Prairie and Crawfordsville. After a 22-3 vic- Alamo Scoring Records Career PLAYER PTS GAMESAVG.

Western Boone overcame Lebanon in the other half of the Sectional and ended with the championship. Adams said their conference will be tough. “Our conference is tough and it always has been,” he stated. “But, we are going to compete.” He said they are staying focused on two things for the upcoming season. “I think our main keys this year is keeping our errors down and our batting average up,” he said. He added that their batting average was up over 40 percent from the year before and he looks for steady improvement on that. Defensive-wise, they are focusing on the knowledge behind the game. “The big thing is they are learning what to do with the ball before the ball is hit,” Warren said. “Those are the Senior Zechariah Banks scored a fifthplace finish in the finals of the 100-yard breaststroke at the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Champions Friday to earn All-America honors.

I finished strong and just wanted to get under my time at the conference meet.” Banks qualified for the finals by posting the sixth-quickest time of the prelims at 55.16, placing him in the second heat in the evening finals. “Zechariah knew the type of race he wanted to swim tonight,” Wabash head coach Brent Noble said. “He had some things to clean up from the prelims. He was also as tough as they get racing to the wall to pass one more guy. He added a second All-America award with a fifth-place finish in the 200-yard breaststroke Saturday. Banks finished the finals race in 2:00.12, breaking his own school record in the event. “It feels good!” Banks exclaimed after the race. “It feels good to be able to represent Wabash and it feels good to end my career on a positive note.” “The last session of a meet like this is all about racing,” Wabash head coach Brent Noble said. “Zechariah’s objective tonight was to swim the toughest race he had and pick up as many more points as possible . . .
