A guy doesn’t come home after work Friday and spends the weekend bar-hopping around with his pals. Sunday night his wife asks how he’d like it if he didn’t see her for two days. He said that’d be fine. Next time he saw her it was Thursday. That’s when the swelling in one of his eyes started to let up a little bit.

If you’re a sports fan, you probably saw the clips over the weekend from Indiana Pacers star Paul George and Oklahoma City standout Russell West-brook. If you are not a sports fan, bear with me if you please.

Both were asked questions (very fair questions, mind you) during post-game press confer-ences. The Paper’s newsgather-ing partner is WTHR, Channel 13. Their columnist, Bob Krav-itz, asked George the question that’s been on Pacers’ fans’ minds for a while, is he stay-ing in Indianapolis or leaving? Granted, George and the Pacers had just been swept out of the playoffs. But if Kravitz doesn’t ask that question, someone else will. If no one does, readers will wonder why the hell not. It’s fair, and yet, George responded with, “I ain’t even at that point,

Bob. Next question.”In Oklahoma City, Westbrook

was in a press conference when a teammate got asked a ques-tion about the team’s failure to play well without their star. Westbrook wouldn’t allow his teammate to answer, going on a bit of a rant. It was a fair ques-tion. Didn’t matter. Westbrook ignored the reporter and called for the next question.

Bing. Bang. Boom. End of story.

These guys refused to an-swer in front of microphones and cameras. At some point, whether it’s on www.theplay-erstribune.com or a social media account, they’ll probably reverse course. They, they can say it the way they want, when they want. They won’t have the prying questions from those pesky media types. Oh, those

darn pesky media types!It brings to mind a little of

what happened as the Indiana Legislature was drawing to a close last week.

Rep. Tony Cook from north-ern Hamilton County is a pretty good guy by all accounts. The

retired superintendent stood tall years ago when he worked at Hamilton Heights and welcomed Ryan White into the school. Some Hoosiers might remember Ryan White. He was the teen-ager who had contracted AIDS way back in 1987 – a time when AIDS was a lot more scary because a lot less was known about it. Cook did the right thing and no one should ever forget that.

Yet during this session, he introduced legislation that would essentially eliminate the require-ment to publish in newspapers the capital projects funding plan (or what your tax dollars are paying for) and the school bus replacement fund plan (or how much of your tax dollars are going into those wheels that go

South goes back to the ’80sBy Neil Burkneil@thepaper24-7.com

Southmont is turning up the way-back machine and bringing the ’80s back to life with its spring musical. Back to the ’80s tells the story of the senior class of 1985 at William Ocean High School, remembered through the eyes now thirty-something Corey Palmer.

Seventeen-year-old Corey is madly in love with his next-door neighbor, Tiffany Houston, one

of the coolest girls in the school, but she is too busy mooning over Michael Feldman, the hottest guy around. Michael and his friends are athletic and good looking – the kind of guys that Corey and his two best friends dream of being. However, while they may not be the coolest guys in school, they are still one up on Feargal McFerrin, III, whose best friend is his computer and who believes the crazy notion that one day, CDs will replace

cassette tapes.The show includes such hit

80s songs as “Girls Just Wan-na Have Fun,” “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go,” “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” “Material Girl,” “You Give Love a Bad Name,” and many, many more!

round and round and round).

The effort to eliminate the requirement for our government (heavy em-phasis on our) to publicly tell us what they are doing with our (heavy empha-sis on that word again) money is becoming more and more prevalent every year. At some point, the government will go the way of Paul George and Russell Westbrook and simply won’t tell us at all . . . until they feel good and ready.

And that, my friends, is sad. I am not a prepper or a conspiracy theorist. I’m like you. I live here, work here and pay an awful lot more of my paycheck into taxes than I want to.

And while I get the idea that I work in the newspa-per biz so that this comes across like I want to get some of that government money back, it’s not the case. The reality is that our government has writ-ten legislation that limits how much money we can charge it for public notice ads. How much? Well, we

routinely charge business-es anywhere from $5 to $8 per inch for advertising. But the good folks in gov-ernment only pay about $3 per inch – so it’s not like we’re getting rich on this.

The fact remains that more Hoosiers read news-papers – whether online or in print – than ever and the vast majority of those Hoosiers (85 percent according to an American Opinion Research 2014 poll) support staying informed through public notice ads.

Now, lest we leave this out, I imagine Cook and other lawmakers – including good folks on school boards – will tell you that they spend huge amounts of money each year on those ads. Well that’s true. Sort of. North Montgomery ($1,460), Crawfordsville ($1,990) and Southmont ($1,620) spent a combined total of approximately $5,100 in 2016 on ads they were required by the state of Indiana to run with your favorite Montgomery County daily. That’s out

of a total combined budget of around $41.5 million dollars.

$5k out of $41.5 mil-lion.

It’s pennies. Schools spend more on cupcakes for birthdays.

OK, maybe not. But it’s not too far off.

Fortunately, new Gov. Eric Holcomb seems like he gets it, or at least some of it. Monday, he vetoed House Bill 1539, a bill from another Hamilton County lawmaker, Rep. Kathy Richardson, that would have set a maxi-mum amount the govern-ment could charge you if you wanted public records that took them more than two hours to get. Hol-comb, in part, wrote that he views “this proposed legislation as contrary to my commitment to pro-viding great government service at a great value for Hoosier taxpayers. Providing access to public records is a key part of the work public servants perform and is import-ant from a government transparency standpoint.

I do not support policies that create burdensome obstacles to the public gaining access to public documents.”

Thank you, Governor!Look, don’t get the

wrong idea. From Cook to Richardson, these are all good folks. Cook has certainly proven that in the past. School boards prove it all the time. But we need to get past the idea that the press is the ene-my. Elected officials need to stop taking the voters for granted and respect the voters (i.e., us) enough to be as transparent as possi-ble with taxpayer money.

Stop acting like public notices are killing the bud-gets. There’s much more fat in those budgets than public notice ads. Trust us a little and the public might start trusting you a little more as well.

History on Wheels makes stop in CovingtonThe Paper

Covington will be among the first stops for a one-of-a-kind history experience dedicated to Indiana's automotive and racing heritage. The Indiana Historical Society (IHS) is proud to present History on Wheels, a 53-foot double expandable semi-trailer and traveling exhibit that will roll into Covington City Park, June

28 through July 1, for the Covington Fourth of July Celebration.

The appearance will be one of many for History on Wheels as it begins to travel the state and help IHS reach a wider audi-ence at festivals, schools and other special events.

History on Wheels has a custom design that allows the trailer to expand to nearly 1,000 square feet

of indoor museum space. Inside the trailer, IHS's Auto Indiana exhibit will take guests on a ride through the state's far-reaching and personal connections to the auto industry.

Displays touch on the history of more than 100 Indiana automakers man-ufacturers, such as Cord, Duesenberg and Studebak-er. They also delve into

the lives of Hoosier inno-vators and inventors, such as Carl Fisher, Elwood Haynes and Ralph Teetor.

Visitors of all ages can explore under the hood of a vehicle modeled after a 1914 Marmon Touring Car. In addition, children can climb into the driver's seat of a mini IndyCar and imagine what it would be like to cross the famed Yard of Bricks.

The PaperSt. Elizabeth Hospice

will offer two 10-week grief support groups. The group is open to anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one. The sessions will be facilitated by Anne Pigman, hospice bereave-ment coordinator.

about the grieving process so people understand the changes that are happen-ing;

* Providing a safe place to share struggles and learn from others; and

* Sharing ideas on how to handle daily concerns and challenges that come with loss.

Materials include Un-

derstanding Your Grief, Ten Essential Touchstones for Finding Hope and Healing Your Heart, by Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D. Cost for the book is $10. Participants may return the book at the end of the final session for a full refund.

Mountie bats come alive lateThe Paper

Seeger jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in base-ball action before the Mountie offense came to life. South-mont collected 10 hits overall, plating 10 runs in their final three at bats, to defeat the Patriots 11-4 Monday evening.

Bran-don Rog-ers, Risty Bullerdick and Cam Chadd led the Mountie offense each collecting a pair of hits while Cole Roach finished with 4RBI. Boone Welliever, Rogers and Chadd all scored twice.

The Mounties used four pitchers on the evening with Roach earning the win in his two innings of scoreless relief.

NEW MARKET - The Lady Mounties received contributions from up and down their line up, pounding out 14 hits in A 15-5, five inning win over visiting Cov-ington Monday evening.

“Obvi-ously, we wanted to get our bats go-ing early, but we were a little slow at first,” said Mountie head coach Jennifer Watson. “How-ever, we came around, and I’m proud of the girls for sticking to it.”

“This is really the first game that we got offensive production out of all nine positions,” she continued. “So that was definite-ly good to see, and a big positive

headed to Western Boone tomor-row night.”

The Mounties wasted little time getting on the board. Avery Hess led off with a walk and moved to second on Sydney Casteel’s single to left. Hess scored on Jordan Crist’s double to right and Casteel made it 2-0

on Veda Emerson’s fielder’s choice.

The Trojans tied it at two in the second before the Mounties scored another run in their half to make it 3-2.

South made it 9-2 in the fourth thanks to a six run inning. Karsyn Neff, Claire Remley

and Hess all singled to start the inning. Hess single scored Neff and Casteel’s single scored Rem-ley and Hess. Casteel & Crist scored when the Trojan third baseman misplayed Emerson’s pop fly and Emerson scored on a

Neff again started the rally with a single and Remley reached on an error. Both scored on Hess double, and she scored on Paige Knowling’s sac fly. Casteel and Crist’s back-to-back singles continued the rally. They scored on Emerson’s single. The game ended on Maggie Taylor’s walk. As she broke to second, the Tro-jans went to get her out, which allowed Emerson to

score easily from third.“We ran the bases really

well tonight,” Watson said. “Also, Covington put the ball in play quite a bit, but we were able to make the plays.”

Hess was 3-for-3 at the plate with 3-runs and 3-RBI. Emerson drove in three runs while Casteel went 3-for-4 with 2RBI.

The Mounties (8-2, 4-1 SAC) will look to stay atop the Conference stand-ings when they travel to Western Boone tomorrow.

“It was very important to get this win tonight,” said Watson. “We’ll need to focus and play our style of softball tomorrow.”

Chargers can’t hold up hot startThe Paper

WEST LAFAYETTE – North Mont-gomery got off to a hot start at West Lafayette Monday night, but the bats went cold as the sun set and the Red Devils rode off into the fail-ing light with an 11-8 baseball victory.

Caleb Do-nahue started things off with a single followed by the same from Bryce Frederick. With two outs in the first, Collin Knecht singled to drive home Donahue. Mitch Merica reached on an error, plating Freder-ick and a Devan Plant single scored Knecht. Matthew Pi-etsch took one for the team to load the

bases before Quentin Hall plated a run with a free

pass. Donahue capped a 6-run first by reach-ing on an error, bringing two across.

Westside got one back in the first, another in the third and took the lead with a 5-run fifth.

North an-swered with two runs in the fifth to regain the lead, but they promptly lost it in the home half. The Red Devils tagged on a run in the sixth for the final.

Walk planned for June to combat suicide

There will be an Out of the Darkness Walk at North Mont-gomery High School on June 17. Registration starts at 9:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m. The event is geared toward suicide prevention. Online registration

closes at noon the Friday before the walk. However, anyone who would like to participate can register in person at the walk from the time check-in begins until the walk starts.

As the leader in the fight against suicide, and thanks to walkers like you from cities across the country, AFSP has been able to set a goal to reduce the annual suicide rate 20 percent by 2025.
