City's main attractionBarton seeking Main Street location for Fusion 54By Neil [email protected]

When Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton said that he wanted to put Fusion 54 in the heart of downtown he wasn’t exaggerat-ing. The location the city has its eye on is the four-story building at 101 W. Main St., common-ly called the PNC Building. It sits at the corner of Main and Washington, caddy-corner from the Montgomery County Court-house.

The Fiscal Affairs Commit-tee of the Crawfordsville City Council voted 4-0 to send a resolution to the full council with a favorable recommenda-tion that would allow Barton to go ahead with the purchase of the building.

Barton said that two appraisals have been completed and an offer has been made to pur-chase the building and adjacent parking lot along with the small outpost that sits in the parking

lot. “We expect to hear back from

(the building owners) this week and working through negotiating on them with the purchase,” he said. “We’re working through those negotiations and they’re moving very well.”

The resolution requires that the offered sale price will not exceed the average of the two appraisals of the property. Barton said that he couldn’t disclose the amounts of the

appraisals while negotiations were ongoing. Attempts to reach the owners of the PNC building were unsuccessful.

The location is currently rent-ed by several tenants, including PNC, Facts, Inc., Integrity Mortgage Group, The Paper of Montgomery County, Walk-er Church Consulting Group, LLC., Kelly Services, HSD Homes and Thurston Genetics.

Evolution of newspapers, part 2-point-oh!Notes scribbled on the inside

cover of James J. Kilpatrick’s finest work . . .

A few weeks back, give or take a month, I asked all eight or nine of you who read these ramblings what you wanted in your daily newspaper. It wasn’t scientific and the clerks at your friendly County Market or Kro-ger’s can do a much better job with their “paper or plastic poll . . . ” But I did the best I could.

There were many surprises for yours truly – including how many of you replied. I figured that one or two of the normal eight or nine might be busy so I expected only a half-dozen or so. Well, you got me on

that one! Heck, some of you even stopped me in above-men-tioned grocery and shared your thoughts. One woman stopped me in the cereal aisle and said she had noticed me . . . which got me to drifting off and think-ing that one of the disadvantages of having your column out there in public is that it’s sometimes hard to go places without being recognized. At least I was thinking that when she coughed loudly and repeated that she no-ticed me “wearing a watch and wondered what time it is?”

Sigh.Anyways, a lot of you told

me quite a bit about your reading habits. I found out that

more of you would prefer your favorite Montgomery County daily on your phone or tablet at

oh-dark-thirty. One nameless gentleman said the only thing he didn’t like about our paper is that he couldn’t have it with his morning coffee. But now that our Online Edition shows up in his e-mail at 4 a.m. each day, he doesn’t even have to go outside and search in the bushes or puddles for other papers.

You got to love it when a plan comes together.

A fair number of you also said that you want the version that comes in the wood pulp byprod-uct, otherwise known as paper. And, without a doubt, I can at-test that the “paper” crowd was

Disappointed, concerned by vandalsBy Stacey [email protected]

President of the Montgomery County Basketball Heritage Project, Carolyn Teague, was highly disappointed and quite concerned when she was noti-fied that vandals had adhered a suspicious looking record with an MP3 player device attached on the Cradle of Basketball sign. The historical landmark sign is located on Main Street, near the entrance to PNC bank from the parking lot.

“It’s not okay to do these things to other people’s prop-erty”, says Teague. “It was a huge effort raising the money to have this sign erected here. Now there is time spent cleaning it up and the valuable time the police

Now that we have wrapped up all the players of the year for winter sports, I thought I would share a little bit about each selected athlete.

Caleb Whicker (CHS senior) Male Swim-mer / Diver of the Year. I have been able to photograph Whicker in soccer and diving and one thing stands out. Super nice polite kid but is super com-petitive. He will continue his education at Cedarville University, but will not be diving competitively since Cedarville does not have a swimming / diving program. I commend him for choosing what he feels is the best for his education and not solely basing his decision on athletics. Not that he will need someone to watch over him, but his big sisters are also at Cedarville University. All three Whicker kids at the same college makes it convenient for the family that for sure! Whicker earned Diver of the Year in both 2016 and 2017

Madison Wickholm (SHS senior) Female Swimmer of the Year. You don’t have to be around Wickholm long to see that she loves swimming. She has a good mix of work-ing hard at swimming and making it fun at the same time. As a photographer, I often get annoyed when a swimmer cheeses it up during an event and smiles for the camera. My thought is, if you’re taking time to smile during a competition then you're not work-ing hard enough. Besides that it makes the pictures look goofy for print. However, with Wickholm, she was usually ahead of her competitors so far that she had time to smile. Wickholm also earned Swimmer of the Year both 2016 and 2017. Wickholm will head to Indiana Wesleyan to continue her education and swim career. I hope she continues to love swimming along the way.

Tanner Webster (NM senior) Wrestler of the Year. Webster placed second in the state this year for wrestling. His entire career has been impressive. Webster is one of those quiet types that shows little emotion, just works hard every day to get better. He has verbally committed to Purdue University to continue his wrestling career and education. Webster was Co-Wrestler of the Year last year as well.

Rhi Harpel (NM junior) Gymnast of the Year. This is the second year in a row for Harpel to earn Gymnast of the Year. She is very passionate about gymnastics and it shows. Gymnastics is one of those sports that takes skill and some guts to do. Watching Harpel is rather impressive. I’ve said it before but when Harpel does a flip to get onto the vault it is rather impressive to see. It took me a while to stop watching her in awe and actually look through the camera and capture her in action.

Trent Johnson (CHS senior) Boys Basket-ball Player of the Year. Talk about an athlete! This year so far he has racked up Player of the Year honors in football and basketball and is a standout baseball player as well, so he could earn the triple crown. I have seen Johnson play since he was a little kid playing youth baseball. Johnson just always seems happy to have a Crawfordsville uniform on and gives 100 percent at everything he does. I would have to guess that all of his coaches would love to figure out a way to make a copy of him before he graduates. He is the type of player that coaches love to have on their team. Younger players truly look up to Johnson!

Becca Adams (NM senior) Girls Basket-ball Player of the Year. Becca is my all-time favorite athlete to earn player of the year. I have known Becca since she was four years old, I’m good friends with her mom. So I really have watched Becca grow up to be a wonderful, smart, funny, caring young lady that is also a good, hard working athlete. Over the past four years, I have arranged my scheduled no matter how packed it was to be able to make sure I caught at least a little bit of Becca’s games. So I’m very excited for Becca achieving player of the year because I know it was one of her goals and she worked very hard to earn it. Adams will continue her education at Lincoln Christian University and will play basketball.

All of the athletes that earned player of the year honors are standout athletes in the county for one reason. They have talent and they out-work everyone around them. I really enjoyed watching these athletes through the years and wish them the best of luck in the future.

The PaperWEST LAFAYETTE – After a rain

delay and slow start, the Crawfordsville baseball team rallied to score seven unanswered run to beat West Lafayette 7-2 on the road Monday. The Athenians are up to No. 2 in the Class 3A state rankings that came out Sunday.

Crawfordsville (5-1) allowed a run in the first and an unearned run in the sec-ond to fall into a 2-0 deficit early on. The Athe-nians found their bats in the third – while also benefiting from some Red Devil mishaps.

Luke Man-gold led things off with a hit-by-pitch and Brendan Dowell followed with a walk. Trent Johnson reached on an error to juice the bases. Carson Scott drew a walk to plate Mangold. Caden Jones ground-ed out for the first out of the inning, scoring Dowell. Chase Dowell came up with a big single to score Johnson and Scott came across on a sac fly from

Josh Blackburn. Crawfordsville got three insurance

runs in the seventh when Chase Dowell rose to the occasion again. After John-son was plunked and Scott reached on a bunt, Dowell doubled to plate them both. He scored when Payten Abney reached on an error.

Chase Dowell was also the star on the bump. He took the pill in relief in the second inning and allowed just two hits in five and a third. He fanned six and didn’t allow a run.

Crawfordsville finally has a short break before heading to Fountain Cen-tral Saturday at 11 a.m.

Crawfordsville enters the 2017 soft-ball campaign with a sense of optimism and looking to earn a few more wins. They’re plan to take the success they gained last year, under first year head coach Britney Carpenter, and continue to build on it this season.

“We don’t have the kind of expec-tations that you write on a chalkboard, because we’re so young that we don’t even know what our potential is,” said coach Brandon Froedge, who’s taken the coaching duties in Carpenter’s absence after the birth of her daughter. “So, we don’t want to limit ourselves, but we do expect to be in every game and compete.”

Gone from last year’s squad are Michaela French and Krystyn Flynn. French led the team in every offensive statistical category while Flynn was a very versatile player who could help anywhere.

Crawfordsville, who started four sophomores and two freshmen in their opening game against Riverton Parke will look to some of these players to help fill the void.

“We have a big group of underclass-men that creates quite a bit of compe-tition at every position,” said Froedge. “They’re a versatile group that’s given us more athleticism.”

“What’s even more important is that they’re not only willing to learn, but they’re not scared to step out and lead right now,” he continued. “We don’t look at it as a rebuilding phase, because we feel that we can compete.”

As good as the underclassmen are, the coaches believe it will be the seniors, Elyssa Bentley, Fabiola Castro and Cali Saunders who will provide leadership both on and off the field.

“They’re three of our hardest work-ers,” Froedge said of the group. “They come to work every day and lead by example.”

“We’re working on the vocal part, and that will come,” he continued. “However, they pay attention to detail, which is contagious, and is a big posi-tive for our program.”

Crawfordsville finished 6-19 overall last season, but won five of their last seven games including a season sweep of their county and conference rival North Montgomery.

“We doubled our wins from the previous season last year,” added Froedge. “I’ve heard the girls say that they’d like to do the same again this year, and we, as a coaching staff, feel that’s attainable.”

Much of that optimism is the men-tality the coach staff saw during their game Thursday.

“We came out and expected to win and not just hang around or go seven innings,” Froedge complimented. “Al-though we lost and felt disappointment, that feeling was a positive thing.”

The Athenians are back in action today when they open up Sagamore Athletic Conference play at Frankfort, a team that knocked them out of the sectional last season.

“I don’t know,” Barton said when asked about the future of the tenants. “PNC has a long term lease, I know that.”

Councilman Mike Reidy asked if the bank would stay and Barton said yes and that PNC would be a tenant and pay rent.

“I think that’s enough to cashflow the building as far as utilities and those types of things. It frees up the other three floors for us and gives us more flexibility,” Barton said.

Fusion 54 was originally going to be constructed at the empty lot at Washing-ton and Franklin Street. Barton said that renovat-ing an existing structure could be done at 1/3 of the original cost and free up grant money to be used elsewhere. Fusion 54 is designed to bring together the local economic devel-opment team, Chamber of Commerce, Crawfordsville Main Street, The Mont-gomery County Leadership Academy’s volunteer pro-gram, Wabash College’s Center for Innovation, Business & Entrepreneur-ship and a co-working space for entrepreneurs and the Montgomery County Visitors’ Bureau. Barton said the plan is to still purchase the lot near Franklin and convert it to a trailhead park.

much more passionate about it than the phone or tablet crowd. In fact, another lady stopped me in the same grocery store and informed me in no uncer-tain words that she better keep getting her “paper” in “paper” or she was going to insert her “paper” in a place I’d prefer not to have things inserted.

Duly noted, ma’am!The great news for

everyone is that, yes, you will get The Paper exactly the way you want. We continue to print a daily Paper on paper each day while we publish an Online Edition to your mailbox each day and an E-Edition to our website each day.

The even better news for the Online Edition crowd, for now, is that it has not cost you anything. (But notice the key phrase there, ‘for now.’)

The truth of the matter is that we are shooting for 10,000 paying customers and will – at some point in the not-too-distant future – charge for our Online Edi-tion. You see, for a while we think we have more people reading us than our competition over at the Journal-Review. I imagine if you ask those good folks over there, they’ll tell you they think they have more. Truth to tell, neither news-paper has been anywhere near 10,000 in a while. The company that used to own the Journal-Review was around there, but they’ve been gone since the 1990s.

So us’n folks at the Little Newspaper That Could have set our goals on reaching 10,000 paying customers. To be sure, this will be a combination of Online Editions and our daily wood pulp-based Pa-per. But in today’s world,

who relies on solely paper for anything anymore? And we’re excited and more than a little humbled that our Online Edition is such a big hit that we can even think about this.

And there will be more changes coming, thanks to your feedback. One of the things we’re talking about is a Sunday product! Now, I have to tell you that the staff in the back room – where we do all our top-secret strategizing – said that we should keep this hush-hush. But one of them also said that the

competition tends to copy most things we do so let’s go ahead and get this word out there.

OK. It’s there. Stay tuned.

There’s more, but for now let me just offer a sincere thank you for shar-ing so many thoughts and ideas. You want paper? You got it. You want elec-trons? No worries there, The Paper’s got your back.

And last thing I want to ask you – go ahead, call me pushy – is what do we call our business going forward? With more and

more folks opting to read us on phones and tab-lets and other devices, it doesn’t seem right to call it a newspaper, does it? And our crack staff in the back room hasn’t come up with any name that’s got us jumping up and down yet. So what do you think? It’s Newspapers 2.0. What makes the most sense?

Two Crawfordsville police officers arrived just before 1 p.m. and found that though very odd, the device wasn’t threatening. Police Chief Mike Nor-man said that Teague and

others did the right thing by notifying authorities.

“If you see anything suspicious, do not touch it. Call 911 or your local police department. It is always better to be safe than sorry,” Norman said.
