CEASe of Scott County (Coalition to Eliminate the Abuse of Substances) would like to invite all of Scott County and surrounding counties to their next Community Forum: “Medora: One Town’s Fight to Survive” featuring the film’s director, Andrew Cohn and stars from the film on Thursday, February 6, 7 p.m., at the the Mid-America Science Park, 821 South Lake Road in Scottsburg. In America’s basketball heartland, four boys from rural Medora, Indiana fight to end their high school team’s losing streak, as their dwindling town faces the threat of extinction. Years ago, Medora, Indiana was a booming rural community with prosperous farms, an automotive parts factory, a brick plant, and a thriving middle class. The factories have since closed, crippling Medora’s economy and its pride. The population has slowly dwindled to around 500 people. Drug use is common, the school faces consolidation, and as one resident put it, “This town’s on the ropes.”

Not paying child support in Scott County is a very bad habit.

And non-custodial parents who continually do not pay their obligations to support their children will find themselves the target of a new criminal initiative of the Scott County Prosecutor’s Office.
