By Weston Steel [email protected] Many people probably dream about $50 landing in their lap, but the people at the Trinity Mission want to make this dream a reality. On the third Saturday of both May and June, the Trinity Mission is giving $50 away to one lucky custom- er, and all you have to do is be there. It’s part of a new promo- tion to draw in customers, and it appears to be working. “We've been doing the 75 cent clothes and shoes for a while, but we've been add- ing new sales.” Said Logan Cook, one of the employees at the Trinity Mission. “We do these promotions and sales to drum up interest in the store and what we do.” Things seemed to be going well and the store was bustling when The Paper spoke to Cook. People were shopping for clothes, electronics and other things. “I think the ad is doing what it's meant to, bringing in new and old faces.” Cook said. One customer told The Paper he appreci- ates the promotion. “I think It’s great, giving back to the community while promoting the Trinity Mission,” Sean Best said. “For a business to give away $50, and offer good deals, they must really care about their customers.” The Trinity Mission entices customers with offers including: 20 percent off every third Saturday of the month; clothes and shoes for 75 cents the first Saturday of the month and 15 percent off for senior citizens, 55 and older, every Wednesday.

The Crawfordsville tennis team played their second match in section-als only giving up one game total. Their sweep of Rockville Thursday sent them to the Sectional Championship tonight.

“Any time you get to come out here and play a match, it helps,” Athenian coach Marina Cooper said. “We’ve had specific things we wanted to work

on yesterday and specific things we wanted to work on today.”

The North Montgomery tennis team outmatched Southmont for the second time in two weeks. The 5-0 sweep was a little different from last time.

“They played better tennis than they played last Friday and I think our intensity was down a little because of last Friday,” Charger coach Bob Nabors said.

However, they came away with the victory which propels them to the Sectional championship tonight.

“North is a tough op-ponent,” Mountie coach Rob Reimondo said. “We wanted to really strive

for personal improvement during the matches and try to get somewhere we can build off of for next year.”

Each team is graduating few seniors.

“I’m very proud of all the girls. We’ve had a great season. We’ve had fun and we’ve developed as a team,” Reimondo said.

It’s been over a month since the Crawfordsville and North Montgomery girls tennis teams faced each other in regular season. Tonight will be a rematch for the history books.

North Montgomery pulled out a 3-2 win over the Athenians back on April 14, but both teams have implemented a few changes since then.

“We’ve got a different lineup and they’ve got a different lineup than when we played back in early April so we’ll see,” Char-ger coach Bob Nabors said. “We know where we need the points.”

The three matches won for North in April were from the singles while Crawfordsville doubles took the other two matches.

“We’ve worked on a lot of different stuff over the season to come back and improve from last time we played,” Athenian coach Marina Cooper said. “I think the girls are more confident in themselves and their game.”

Mia Katzenberger changed from part of the No. 1 doubles to No. 1 singles while Lizzy Katzenberger moved to No. 1 doubles. On North’s side, Kenzie Neal moved to No. 2 singles, Sydney Utterback stepped into the No. 3 singles while Megan

Merica and Mary Jackman make up the No. 1 doubles team and Scout Groves and Lexi Thomas the No. 2 doubles.

With all the changes and a Sectional championship in question, anything could happen.

“I want to see a lot of en-thusiasm, a lot of self-dis-cipline and a desire to play the game they were taught to play,” Nabors said of the Charger team. “It’ll be a good match. It could go 4-1, 3-2 either way. You don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Cooper said their goal is to stay focused on the task at hand.

“It’s a big match abso-lutely,” she said. “But the

key is to not treat it any differently than any other match you’ve ever played. You have to stay focus on your match. I told the girls, you just play your match and it’s like every other match you play. Just keep it between the lines on the court and that’s it. That’s what I hope to see them do tomorrow.”

Crawfordsville went to the Regional finals last year after beating North 3-2 for the Sectional championship and defeating Fountain Central 5-0 before they faced a tough Terre Haute South.

The Athenians (14-5) and the Chargers (8-2) face off at Crawfordsville tonight at 4:45 p.m.

Jordan Lewis took the ball for North Montgom-ery (20-5, 10-3 SAC) looking to help his team get some redemption Thursday evening. The senior was in command, limiting the Athenians (22-4, 12-1 SAC) to only three hits on the night,

all in the seventh inning. He helped his team to a Conference split beating Crawfordsville 5-1.

“Jordan threw one heck of a game,” Charger skip-per Matt Merica said. “He worked ahead in the count and mixed up his pitch-es, and we played solid defense behind him.”

He didn’t allow a run-

ner to reach third base un-til the seventh and allowed only five baserunners during over six innings.

“I have to give all the credit to Baylee (Ad-ams),” Lewis said. “He called a great game back there, and I just hit my spots.”

Meanwhile, Athenian pitcher Chase Dowell was

able to work his way out of a few jams. North put runners on second base with less than two outs in each of the first four innings, but he worked his way out without any damage.

The Chargers were denied two runs in the

second when, with two runners on, Riley More-house smacked a ball to the right-center field gap that saw Crawfordsville’s Sam Lucas chase it down to preserve the shutout.

“That was a huge play by a senior,” Athenian skipper John Froedge said. “That definitely helped us stop their momentum and keep the game tied.”

The Chargers took advantage of a leadoff walk and error in the fifth to score their first run. Devon Zachary led off with a walk and advanced to third on an errant pickoff throw. He would score on Justin

Clary’s sacrifice fly to left to make it 1-0.

They would tack on four more runs in the top of the seventh. Gregory Pietsch entered as a pinch hitter and roped a double to leftfield, and Riley Morehouse reached on a bunt single.

Devan Plant, who pinch ran for Pietsch scored on a balk, and Clary and Baylee Adams walked. Lewis ripped an RBI single and Caleb Do-nahue hit a 2RBI single to make it 5-0.

“Gregory’s double was absolutely huge,” Merica said. “He comes in cold, got an opportunity and performed.”

“Caleb’s hit was big too,” he continued. “He did what he was supposed to do with two strikes, and put the ball in play.

Crawfordsville final-ly got to Lewis in the seventh. Brendan Dowell roped a single to center and scored on Tommie Edwards single to make it 5-1. However a fly out and ground out ended the Athenian threat and gave the Chargers some momentum headed to Sectional.

“Anytime these two teams play, the atmo-sphere’s as good as it’s going to get in high school baseball,” Merica added. “There’s a lot of

pride on the line, and we played well tonight.”

Froedge concurred, “Overall a very compet-itive high school game,” he said. “It was well pitched on both sides, and they capitalized on our one mistake and took the momentum.”

Clary led North with two hits, while Donahue had 2 RBIs.

Brendan Dowell had a base hit and scored a run, while Edwards had an RBI for the Athenians.

Both will complete their Conference schedule Friday. North will host Western Boone, while Crawfordsville hosts Frankfort.

Photo providedThe Montgomery County Free Clinic recognized outgoing board members for exceptional service at their May meeting. (Left) Morris Mills, who served for 32 years in the Indiana Senate, added a fresh perspective to the board as someone from outside the realm of health care. “Morris always asked the critical questions,” said clinic executive director Bill Doemel. “Morris’ suggestion led to the development of our Appleseed Society, a group of donors who commit to donate at least $1,000 annually for five years,” added board president Candy Royer. MCFC wishes to salute the contributions of Morris Mills to the organization, which provides medical and dental services to uninsured residents of Montgomery County whose income is below 300% of the federal poverty level. MCFC also administers the Meals on Wheels program in Montgomery County.

Dear Editor:Once again our lo-

cal Congressman Todd Rokita has shown that he is incapable of protecting the best interests of his constituents and is in fact attempting to harm them. His latest School lunch bill is a Draconian attempt to squeeze a few dollars out of the Federally sponsored school lunch program. His idea is that a few kids that are actually able to pay for food at school may get free food while at school because they live in an

area with at least 40% low income classmates. To Rokita, this is akin to stealing and he wants it stopped. He therefore wants to raise this free lunch standard to 60% thereby eliminating free lunch programs for all stu-dents at over 120 schools (about 60,000 students) in Indiana alone. Kids need to eat to do well in school and become productive members of society. Rokita’s bill is both cruel and ill devised. Rokita is clearly bad for Montgom-

ery county.In addition, Rokita

has stated that his bill will loosen what he calls Michelle Obama-nutrition constraints on the school lunch programs as he feels that serving nutritious food is too restrictive to schools as some kids may prefer a Ding-dong or HO-Ho to broccoli. Rokita is just grandstand-ing and trying to make out any Obama inspired rational ideas as lunacy. He has consistently shown his contempt for Obama at

every turn. His inability to evaluate rational legisla-tion is primarily due to his small-minded, racist and misogynistic Tea Party ideals. Rokita is clearly bad for Indiana.

Rokita denies that global warming is real, strongly supports deregulation of environmental controls and consistently votes for the interests of large cor-porations over his individ-ual constituents. Rokita is clearly bad for the US.

Pinrod’s phone calls to the members of the Lennox Valley Auburn Hat Society can be considered “re-cord”), the “good father,” as she liked to call him, was often seen enjoying a Reuben Sandwich, sauer-kraut and a Miller Lite at the famed eatery. What’s more, Father O’Reilly seemed to have no interest in Vera’s proclamations concerning his dining habits. Some thought he was taking a personal jab at Vera when, on the Sun-day before Mother’s Day, he led a homily on the subject, “The devil wears a bright red hat.”

Everybody thought the confrontation between Vera and Father O’Reilly would calm down in time. But with each passing year, it seemed to gain steam. That was, until Vera’s attention turned to something more important.

You see, the Methodist Church decided to appoint a new pastor in June 1999. Methodists do this every few years and pastoral changes usually occur without too much fanfare.

Nobody would know about the change for another month or so. But the bishop and his cabinet had made the decision and soon would be sending word to the good folks at Lennox Valley Methodist Church. The new pastor’s name was Rev. Sarah Hyden-Smith.

And everybody thought the traffic light was big news.

In his lifetime, Kevin Slimp has been a minister, a tech-nology guru, a consultant, a popular speaker and a writer. He says the people he’s met throughout the years make up the characters you will meet in Lennox Valley. Read more at lennoxvalley.com
