  • Second EMS crew needed

    I live in Clark Township and I support placing a second full-time ambulance at the north station. This should be the top priority of the county officials, especially, since they have passed the Public Safety Tax.

    It is common sense that a second full time crew should be placed at the county garage. The building is completely ready for use. This would provide better coverage for the entire county.

    This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. It is a safety issue.

  • Businesses, volunteers helped Dogwood efforts

    We had a glorious day at Rome during the Dogwood Festival.  The day was beautiful and so was the crowd. We saw so many familiar faces as well as many new ones.

    Thank you so much to the people who came to eat and visit and waited patiently in a long line.

  • Thank You for Empty Bowls success

    Empty Bowls Project Wants to Thank their Volunteers. The event, which took place on April 9, was a huge success.  

    Each person attending the event was asked to donate either $5 for a soup dinner or $10 for a soup dinner and a ceramic bowl.  Community members donated over $2300 during the event.  Proceeds will go to the Weekend Backpack Program of Perry County.

    The success of the event was due in large part to the generous community members who donated food, supplies, their time, or their artistic talent.

  • Trump’s political value often overlooked

    This letter is my response to a letter to the editor, published in your Monday April 25 paper written by Betty Voornies, President Indiana AFL-CIO Labor Unions, titled, “Why Trump is bad for workers in America.”

    Yes, Trump, as well as I and millions of American citizens are very much concerned that our American companies are exiting the USA to carry our American jobs with them. Your article states that two Indiana companies, Carrier Air Conditioner and United Technologies are carrying 2100 jobs to Mexico, as well as hope for these soon to be jobless Americans.

  • Second full-time ambulance crew needed

    I am writing to show my support for a second full time ambulance to be placed at the north station. When the construction of this building was in the planning stage, the people in the vicinity were told that an ambulance would be housed there as an incentive to give their approval of the project.

    Now that the Public Safety Tax has been levied on the wage earners of Perry County, we need to see movement on getting this ambulance. It would benefit the entire county, not just the northern part.

  • Use public safety tax to improve ambulance service in our county

    As of Jan. 1 of this year, the wage earners of Perry County began paying a 0.25 percent tax assessed on their incomes. The Perry County Council voted last year by a 6-0 vote to approve this Public Safety Tax. Based on a salary of $25,000, the tax would amount to about $62, annually. One estimate was that this new levy would generate approximately $405,000. I have heard even higher figures.
