Peering from under his camouflage hat, sweat-drenched from the hot June sun, Tim Watt describes how he came to be homeless. With a packed shopping cart en tow, he’s making double time because he’s late for an appointment, one that will help him get to his next destination.

His course brought him to Tell City like it had so many other towns before. But this fellow who heralds himself as ‘Harry Hippie’ isn’t simply a vagabond; he has a mission.

TELL CITY – The Tell City Common Council judged the merits of several existing tax abatements at its meeting last Monday. Some passed with flying colors while others were flagged due to missing or incomplete information or a lack of compliance.

PERRY COUNTY – The amount residents pay in annual fees to the County Solid Waste Management District for disposal and recycling services could soon go up. Based on a proposal from the agency’s governing board, a $13 annual increase is under consideration.
If approved, fees would raise from the current $32 a year to $45.

CANNELTON – The Perry County Courthouse Annex in Cannelton will be closed Monday, June 19, and Tuesday, June 20, as the respective offices prepare to move to the newly renovated Armory Annex in Tell City.

Services at the health office will be available in case of emergency but phones at all of the county agencies currently located in Cannelton will be offline.

The main courthouse building along Indiana 37 will be open on those days, however, the Emergency Management Agency office will be closed as it is moving into the Armory.
