25 Years Ago This Week

A Children’s Safety house is being constructed for the members of the Okaw Fire Protection Association. The house will be used to show community children how to safely exit a smoke filled house. The project is being overseen by committee co-chairmen Arlon Long of Sullivan Fire Protection Dist. and Merlin Yoder of Arthur Fire Dept.

A steer on the loose kept Sullivan city officers, sheriff’s deputies and Sullivan city workers busy for approximately four hours. The steer, owned by Frank Elzy, escaped from Sullivan Veterinary clinic where it had been taken for vaccinations. It was captured when two city employees squeezed it between two pick-up trucks. During the chase the steer collided with Sheriff Jeff Thomas’ police car and put a dent in it.

Lindsay Patrick of Bethany is one of the members of the 4-H group traveling to Washington D.C. this summer on the Citizens Washington Focus trip. Patrick is the daughter of Stan and Judy Patrick. Read More

On Friday, September 4th, Mid-Illinois Senior Services (MISS) was abuzz with activity and a good time was had by all during MISS’ yearly Senior Expo. Local businesses attended to provide helpful information to local seniors, and the staff of MISS was on hand to answer questions, sign people up for services (including Medicare Part ‘D’ enrollments which are fast approaching), as well as provide a free lunch. Many local businesses and individuals donated a wide variety of goods to be sold at the Expo, with all funds raised going directly back into the services MISS provides to local seniors and a much-needed roof repair.
