  • Risse is right choice for city council

    I write on behalf of my friend Sean Risse. I have known Sean since coaching him as a youth in basketball.

    My current civil duties require me to make tough decisions and I can’t stress the importance of these decisions. Sean, with your support, can step into a similar role and I have confidence he too can make the tough decisions that will come.

    I believe in the advocacy, efficiency and accountability of United Way of Perry County.

  • Thanks for all of the fall festival help

    We want to thank everyone who helped make the Fall Festival at Rome successful. The News gave us advertising ahead of the event, Nobles worked with us purchasing the food, and to the visitors who came to eat or listen to the band or buy items from the country store. We enjoyed having the House Kat Trio provide music for the event. We also appreciate the write up in the News last week following the festival.

  • What a grand day it was in Bristow Oct. 11

    A special thank you to God for such a beautiful day for the Bristow car show Oct. 11.

    If you were not there, you missed a nice day with friends from far and near who came back to claim their roots and those who live close by.

    The town was clean and looked really nice. It took a lot of time and labor to make things happen.

    The food was great and music and every other thing seemed to fall in place. And there were so many beautiful cars, trucks and other classic vehicles that came from everywhere.

    Lola Mae and her husband, Delbert, live along Indiana 545 between Troy and New Boston and have three semi-dwarf trees near their home, two producing red apples and one a yellow variety.

  • A war on bullies

    October is a month for awareness targeting a lot of problems we deal with as a community and individually.

    It turns out that one of the matters we ask folks to think about and address in their personal lives is the presence of bullying, especially at school. We are fortunate that all three of our county schools have adopted anti-bullying programs. Still, we all need to be conscious of how bullying can affect the learning process and the quality of life for children and parents.
