St. Bernard’s Church has been holding is annual bazaar for 149 years. The tradition will continue this Satuday, Oct. 3 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Ron Hess said no one really remembers why the bazaar started in 1866 or whether it was a fundrais-er to begin with.

“It could have been to help soldiers coming back from the Civil War,” Hess said. “It could have been to help patriated slaves. No one really

knows.” He said it has been

raising funds for the community since at least 1970. The bazaar raises thousands of dollars to be divided up between the church and community organizations. Depending on turnout, Hess said the church sometimes gives away as much as $5,000 to charities around the town.

“The idea of the bazaar is to help the communi-ty and have fun,” Hess said. “We give 30 percent of the proceeds to local

groups like HUB, Habitat for Humanity, the Salva-tion Army and FISH.”

The other 70 percent of the money goes back into the parish. The money will be raised through food sales, raffle ticket sales and other avenues.

One of the main attrac-tions to the bazaar is a pump juicy hog, roasted to perfection and avail-able for purchase all day. There will also be plenty of desserts for sale from breads to pies to cookies.

The kids can enjoy games from 2-7 p.m.

while the adults can enjoy the casino games like Texas Hold ‘Em.

There will be items up for silent auction all day as well as 14 craft booths to peruse.

The raffle will be going all day with shots to win cash prizes up to $2,500 and miscellaneous other items.

“Giving back is a part of the Catholic faith,” Hess said. “We also hope people will come out because it’s a great time. We have lots of activities for adults and kids.”

Saturday’s bazaar has much to offer

a terrific jump start, and we like to celebrate them for their efforts and thank them for giving this campaign such a promising beginning.”

MUFFY will be toasting their Pacesetters at their 2015 Kickoff Luncheon, which will be held at noon on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at the Crawfordsville Coun-

try Club. Delicious delica-cies will be paired with a short program, recognition of Pacesetter companies and the presentation of the first “big check” of MUFFY’s 2015 campaign. Pacesetters will also be recognized in local media and on MUFFY’s website, www.muffy.org.

2015 marks 45 years

since MUFFY began its first fundraising campaign in 1970. Since that time, over 13 million dollars have been raised to assist area non-profit agencies in meeting the needs of Montgomery County’s res-idents. MUFFY remains the most efficient and cost-effective way to give to local non-profits, as it

is the only fundraiser au-thorized to accept payroll deductions and distribute it to the agencies of a donor’s choice without the unnecessary expense of each agency running their own campaign.

For more information about MUFFY, call 765-362-5484 or visit www.muffy.org.

OBITUARIES

The Paper“Leadership is import-

ant for the success of any organization,” says Montgomery County Community Foundation board member, Larry Griffith. Yet it is some-thing that even as adults, we need to continually strive to sharpen, whether for use in the workplace, or out in the communi-ty. Montgomery County Leadership Academy’s goal is “to prepare par-ticipants for leadership and service by exposing them to opportunities in the county and to procure from each participant a commitment to serve an organization of his or her

choice in a leadership position.” And that is exactly what Griffith wants to support through a Community Engagement Grant of $1,000 to the or-ganization. Each MCCF Board Member may select a nonprofit organization to receive a CEG and Larry chose MCLA because, “The more organizations within a community can be successful, the more the entire community will be alive and growing.” The funds will be used for supplies, and for program expenses.

MCLA has 25 partici-pants in the course which began September 12. The class room style curric-

ulum offers a 12 week program which focuses on everything from servant leadership to how to run a board meeting to stress management to proper dining etiquette, to diversi-ty and more. At the con-clusion, participants will be prepared to volunteer in a variety of capacities for local nonprofit organi-zations.

It is interesting to note that MCLA was estab-lished in 2000 through the convening efforts of the Foundation under the lead-ership of former Executive Director, Ann Malott. Initially the Foundation awarded a startup grant of $20,625 to get the acade-

my up and running. Since that time, the total amount awarded is $33,450.

The Utility Service Board went over the pros and cons of changing Crawfordsville Electric Light and Power’s business hours.

Plant Manager Phil Goode said he wants to change the hours to match the office hours, which are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. The drive thru is

currently open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on week-days and for three hours on Saturday morning.

“The girls have to work a bunch of different shifts plus work Saturdays to care of the drive-up,” Goode said. “We want to try this because it squeezes the girl’s schedules togeth-er and it makes us more efficient.”

Goode said there is little

business on Saturdays, with an average of only 16 bills paid. Goode and Board President Don Swearin-gen both pointed out that CEL&P offer plenty of other options like their 24 hour dispatch, the night deposit box, face to face weekday service and online bill pay.

“This is the only utility that I know of that you can drive up to and go in and

talk to a person,” Swearin-gen said. “Most everything now is done over the phone or online.”

Board members Lyn Wray and Denny Cook were concerned about giving adequate notice for customers. Goode said that he planned to give ample notice in several ways, including posting signs at the drive-up and putting a notice on next month’s bill.

CEL&P to eliminate weekend hours

Having a water tight roof overhead might be a given in America, but in Haiti and poor countries across the world, it is not uncom-mon to have a thatched grass roof. Ron Hess, pres-ident of the Rotary Club, said the club and Youngs Chapel Christian Church collaborated with helping 27 residents of Carrefour Sannon, Haiti have a better roof over their heads.

The club and the church repaired one dozen roofs that were partially metal and put on 15 metal roofs for those had grass. He said the grass roofs are no good in tropical storms. Haitians often cover their prized possessions and even their children in plas-tic tarps to keep them dry during storms.

“They are okay when it drizzles, but when it pours the water comes right in,” Hess said. “And it rains a lot in the tropics.”

He said the club and the church spent about $10,000 on the project, the price includes importing the metal pieces to Haiti and hiring local contractors to help install the roofs. Once the metal arrived in Haiti it was dropped off at a Catholic center then the residents had to drag it several miles to their homes.

“They might have to make the three mile trip twenty times to get enough metal to cover their roofs,” Hess said. “And then they had to tear the roof off.”

The Rotary Club, Young’s Chapel and St. Bernard’s Catholic Church have invested lots of time

and money in the town for around 30 years. Together, the organizations help ed-ucate, provide health care and housing for the remote mountain top village.

Hess said having a roof is something that we take for granted, but it is vital for the health and well-being of the families in Haiti. He said it is amazing how many health issues can crop up with more frequency just because a person lives in subpar con-ditions. He said families in the town can expect to live longer and have fewer health problems just with better housing.

This is the first time that the Rotary Club has pro-vided roofs, but the club has installed over one hun-dred concrete floors in the town. He said there was a greater need for floors

because there were more dirt floors in the town than thatched roofs. However, he said having both a roof and floor is a great step forward for community health.

“It extends the life of the family and children. Even if you have a concrete floor, that’s not enough,” Hess said. “Having a dry environment is important. It makes their whole quali-ty of life better.”

Hess said the club and the church think simply providing the materials is good because it allows the Haitians to appreciate the gift even more and meet the gift givers half way.

“We don’t believe in giving them something for nothing—we appreciate their sweat equity,” Hess said. “It helps them appre-ciate it even more.”

magnitude. Europeans didn't have

to come to this continent. Asians had already dis-covered this land, before the first Europeans set foot here. But wouldn't we be much poorer if those Europeans hadn't come and established what became the United States? Granted, the "Indians" might have been better off, but we don't know that. They could have been easily been persecuted by

later settlers. It's certain that someone from Europe would have found their way to this land sooner or later.

I don't know what will come of exploration of Mars. That's just it, none of us know. But can we afford to not find out? Why wait for future generations to decide to go, for they most certainly will?

Mars has been a fascinat-ing topic for generations.

Broadcasting history was

made one Halloween when Orson Welles broadcast H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" as if it were a series of news bulletins. Years later, a South Amer-ican radio station produced the same show in the local language and residents became so enraged at the prank, they burned the station to the ground!

We need a vision for the future.

It was not by coinci-dence that one of the TV

networks broadcast the 1964 movie, "First Men in the Moon" right around the time we first set foot on the moon in 1969.

It is more than luck that has kept the "Star Trek" franchise going for more than 40 years.

We look to the heavens and stretch our collective muscles to reach beyond our Earth.

Water on Mars? Yay! Let's go see what it tastes like!

POLICE BLOTTER

Dear Editor,As the Speaker of the

House John Boehner resigns we now witness the calls for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to step down. Behind the scenes, special inter-est groups and lobbyists are working overtime to make sure that no mat-ter who steps into these positions, they are backing the winner. Politicians are scrambling wielding their significant power, cutting side deals to see who can garner the most votes to step into the power vacuum.

A new hope emerges since these changes will surely make the GOP stronger and correct all the ills plaguing the federal government. But what evidence do we have to think this is true? Record deficits, overreach by the Supreme Court, lawmaking through Executive action has occurred throughout the tenure of both Republi-cans and Democrats.

The Declaration of Independence states that in

order to secure our inalien-able rights, "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed". The abuses of power by all federal branches, their trampling of the Constitution, their usurpation of State's sover-eignty have been progress-ing since Woodrow Wilson was President. Since this time, both parties have held the position of Pres-ident and controlled Con-gress. Both parties have been negligent and both parties share the blame for the condition of our union and the slow march away from a government created by the "consent of the gov-erned" and the resulting degradation of the individ-ual liberties and freedom we expect to receive when we give our most precious consent.

A new Speaker and new Majority Leader will only provide us with a thin veneer that substantive and meaningful change will occur. We will sit back waiting to see what

the outcome of the power shift will be. We will wait to see who will become the presidential candidates picked for us by the two parties. And at the end of the day, the shifts in power, the people who we elect to federal office or are anointed by the two parties to lead Congress will only determine the rate of further decline of our liberties, freedoms and of society. It will not reverse or stop the decline.

Turning to our State, the consequences of federal overreach are substantial. Our budgets are stretched and pulled by federal edicts and taxes. The money re-turned by the federal to our State comes with mandates and conditions, effectively making the State subservi-ent to the federal instead of superior as was indeed the case when the States created the federal gov-ernment. Our legislators are spending an inordinate amount of time dealing with the fallout, distracting them from the matters of State and the important and

timely issues within their Districts and to which their constituents hold dear. They need your help.

We initially provided our consent to be governed through the Declaration of Independence. Our Founders knew of the possibility that the federal government may become tyrannical. They ensured we retained our power of consent through Article V of the Constitution. With the upcoming federal elections, it is critical that your voice to be heard. Tell your State legislators that you support Indiana joining with other States to develop Constitutional amendments to rein in the federal government, return sovereignty to our State and return our liberties and freedoms that are due us as we continue to provide our "consent of the governed".

Reader calls for ammendmentsThe Paper

Wabash College presents noted author and activist Eboo Patel, who will talk about interfaith leadership and religious diversity, at 8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 1, in the Pioneer Chapel.

Patel, the founder and president of Interfaith Youth Core, will deliver an address titled, “Inter-faith Leadership: Engaging Religious and Philosoph-ical Diversity in the 21st Century.” The talk will expound on ideas from his book, Sacred Ground, where religious diversity and the faith line will be a defining element in the current century.

“Eboo Patel’s work engaging colleges and universities across the country intersects with our own activities working with diverse learners and the increased attention we have given to community engagement, inside and outside the classroom,” said Dean of the College Scott E. Feller. “We look forward to sharing ideas and making stronger connections within our campus and community.”

A member of President Barack Obama's inaugu-ral Advisory Council on

Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships, Patel sug-gests the ability to navigate a more religiously diverse society could become a critical element of citizen-ship. The U.S. is already one of the one of the most religiously diverse nations in the world, and Patel feels that higher education can play a crucial role in preparing students to be productive members of a diverse society.

With people of different faith backgrounds interact-ing with greater frequency than ever before, Patel’s core belief is that reli-gion serves as a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. The Chicago-based IFYC seeks a society that fosters re-spect for people’s diverse religious and non-religious identities, inspires relation-ships between people of different backgrounds, and spurs common action for the common good.

Patel has spoken about this vision at places like the TED conference, the Clinton Global Initiative, the Nobel Peace Prize Fo-rum, and college campuses across the country.

The event is free and open to the public.

The PaperOF MONTGOMERY COUNTY

It’s sectional time again

Ok, not for everyone, but section-al play continues this week with five teams hitting the Crawfordsville courts for a little tennis action. And everything your Montgomery County athletes have worked for all season, culminates in these games.

Crawfordsville takes on Southmont tonight followed by the North Mont-gomery against Turkey Run on Thurs-day.

Adrenaline is pumping, we’re past county, we’re past conference, we’re on the journey to state. The pivotal games of a high school career comes in these moments where something great-er is on the line. Not that the regular season doesn’t matter, but you get a glimpse of the intensity in the county games and perhaps the county champi-onship. Sectionals are a different level and stakes and energy levels are high.

The winner of C’ville and South will play Rockville Thursday and then the winner of this and North’s match plays a thrilling championship right before a little Friday night football.

Golf is the only sport that has com-peted in sectionals and they were able to feel the thrill of the escalated nerves on Sept. 19. Golf is a bit different because they play all of their sectional competition at once. North and C’ville golf still were able to compete against conference-rivals, Lebanon and West-ern Boone.

Cross Country is similar and these runners will be sprinting to state on Oct. 10 at 10 a.m. The county schools are the only Sagamore representatives but will be running with eight other schools which can only mean tons of parents crowding the sidelines and team tents all over the place.

Soccer is the only other sport than tennis that has drawn and C’ville girls’ drew Western Boone for next Tuesday while another North/South match-up takes place right after. Both have already faced each other but a section-al determination may mean different results.

The boys’ have the opposite with C’ville against South and North taking on Western Boone.

Football and volleyball are a little later with the draws on Oct. 11 for football and Oct. 12 for volleyball. Both starting the week of the 19th, they are a little different in that the 3A/2A divisions go into effect with C’ville and North facing more conference schools while South will be in the Monrovia sectional.

C’ville and North volleyball have four other conference schools in their sectionals with Frankfort, Lebanon, Tri-West, and Western Boone all of which need to still play in regular season except for C’ville and Western Boone which saw a thrilling game last night.

South will probably draw a team it has faced before with Cloverdale, South Putnam (South’s first win) and North Putnam in the sectional.

Football, as always, will produce some interesting pairings with Western Boone being the only other conference school, who has defeated C’ville and will be in for an interesting match-up on Friday against North. The only oth-er team one of them has faced is Benton Central, who North beat 48-7.

Leave it to say, I am sure Mont-gomery County athletes are ready to start sectionals. Volleyball and football have a ways to go but they have some exciting conference match-ups in store before they get to the big games.

Will we have any regionalists or semi-state-ists? North golf headed to regionals already, so we will see who else will follow in the weeks to come.

“It’s an experience that most people who go to college don’t get.”

True statement. College sports, let alone college softball, has not been a common goal in Montgomery County. Sydney Casteel is one of the few, if not the only, D1 bound softball player from the area.

Casteel has played for Southmont the past four years and verbally committed to Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, La. on Friday.

“I’m really excited to see how differ-ent it is and to be challenged,” Casteel said. “First of all, the academic side is awesome and their biomedical engineer-ing is nationally ranked.”

The high job placement percentage added into her factors as well. Soft-ball-wise she said the wins and the coaches drew her to the program.

“As far as softball goes, they had 39 wins last season and they are continually getting better every single year,” she stated. “I want to be on the best and most competitive team I can be on.”

She said Coach Montgomery cares about the players and will wear different color hats on the field.

“If he is wearing a black hat, it means it’s serious, we’re here to get the job done. If he’s wearing a khaki hat, it means you can talk to me about whatev-er you want.”

The recruiting process is a long one and Casteel’s journey began when she was nine. She joined the Indiana Dreams based in Lebanon, Ind. and continued on throughout the summers to play travel as well as high school ball.

Travel ball is a different world of its own and Casteel said she enjoyed the variety.

“You get to explore all around the country and you play against all different types of people,” she explained. “When you’re playing conference, you’re seeing the same people over and over again.”

High school ball was also an adventure as Southmont went to state finals in 2014 where they lost in the last inning of the game. Last year, they made it out of sectionals to face Manchester who they lost to by one run as well.

When they went to state, Casteel said that, “It was great knowing that we brought the community together and we had the support of everyone.”

She added that the relationships created through experiences like this are different than most.

“They’re really different than any of

them you form in school because you spend so much time together,” she said. “Everything else goes out the window and you’re here for a purpose and to achieve a goal.”

That goal in college is conference and ultimately the World Series, she said. She added that her teammates all want one thing during their four years at col-lege, make it to the World Series.

Casteel swung for the fences the past

two years and is preparing as hard as ever for her junior/senior year and when she eventually joins the Bulldogs.

She hit a .459 last year with 45 hits, nine doubles and four homeruns. Her freshman year she hit .417 with 43 hits, 12 doubles and one homerun. All together she has brought in 69 RBIs for the Mounties.

“I love the game, so why not go on and play it.”

Tuesday’s match between Crawfords-ville and Western Boone was a match of wills. Crawfordsville jumped out to leads in sets one and two, only to see the Stars come back to win both.

Western Boone then jumped out a big lead in set three and was able to hang to win the match in three games with a 25-16, 25-23, 25-16 win over the Athenians.

“We did a lot of good things tonight,” said Athenian coach Kelly Johnson. “We need to clean up the little mental mistakes and be mentally ready for every single play.”

Crawfordsville jumped out to a 12-5 lead in set one thanks to the net play of Hannah Hungerford. She had three kills and one block during the run to give the Athenians some early momentum.

However, the Stars would catch fire. Trailing 15-10, they were able to close out the set with the service of Lexie Raby. She served 11 straight points for the Stars to close out set one.

Crawfordsville again jumped out to a lead in set two, forcing a Star timeout at 9-4. They’d rally to tie it at 19.

A Kim Hampton block gave the Athe-nians a one point advantage. The Stars would hold a 24-22 advantage before another Hungerford kill make it 24-23. However, an Athenian service error would close the set.

“I’m proud of the girls tonight,” added Johnson. “We didn’t do anything grossly negative. We’re going to regroup and get ready for our match at Danville Thursday.”

“I thought Kim and Hannah both played excellent offensively,” she con-tinued. “Hannah did a great job of using the line and the block, while Kim was smart about her placement.”

The third set saw the Stars jump out to a 10-1 advantage, again thanks to the service of Raby, and the hitting of Callie Gubera, who recorded five of her game leading 15 kills during the run.

The Athenians would fight back to tie it at 15, again with their net play. Hampton recorded four kills during the run and Hungerford two.

However, the Stars would close it out winning 10 of the final 11 points.

“We could’ve easily folded when we were down 10-1, and we fought back and battled with them,” added Johnson. “That says a lot about the character of our team. They don’t give up, and that’s huge.”

Hampton led the Athenians with 12 kills and 10 digs. Hungerford had 10 kills and 3 digs. Emily Cullen added 7 digs and 6 kills, while Faith Fyffe had 15 assists and Caroline Schueren 13

assists.Crawfordsville (15-8, 2-2 SAC) has

a big conference match up Thursday at Conference leader Danville, while West-ern Boone (14-11, 4-1 SAC) will host North Montgomery Thursday.

“According to Western Boone’s coaches, we played the best defense any-one has played against them all season,” said Johnson. “We like defense, it wins ball games.”
