Volunteer opportunities exist to assist Junior Achievement programs in Perry County in coming weeks.

Third-Grade Volunteer Opportunities

All third-grade classes at Perry Central and William Tell Elementary Schools will participate in the Junior Achievement Our Region program. This program provides an introduction to students about entrepreneurship and how entrepreneurs use resources to produce goods and services in a community. Students solve problems by weighing risks and rewards.

I am writing in regard to the dangerous intersection at Indiana 37 and Indiana 237.

Why hasn’t the state put in some rumble strips on Indiana 237? If you are drowsy or on your phone or otherwise not paying attention, you will miss the   flashing yellow light, but two or three sets of rumble strips will certainly get your attention.

If you go to neighboring counties, you will hit rumble strips before entering a dangerous intersection.

On behalf of the Perry County Foundation’s board of trustees, we would like to thank all the participants, sponsors, donors and volunteers who participated in the foundation’s 2013 Trivia Night. We hope everyone had a great time.

We are also pleased to award $500 to the winning team’s favorite charity, Table of Blessings. The $500 came from the proceeds made during the event.

Sponsors, donors and participants helped award that $500, so we also want to thank everyone for helping the community.

My family moved to Tell City from upstate New York in July and we all fell in love with the city. My children are thriving, my wife and I have made friends and we were really beginning to think this was the place to put down roots.  

Then we went to New York for the holidays to visit family.

Our house was broken into, and our TV, computer, video games and other items were stolen. No one was home and no one was hurt – thank goodness – but my family has never experienced anything like this before, and we are all shaken.
