Co-Alliance Scholarship
Hayden Deno of Danville Community High School was among the 40 recipients of Co-Allance’s $1,000 Scholarship program. The scholarships were awarded to high school seniors planning to study agriculture in college and be involved in agriculture in their local community. The winners were selected through the legacy Co-Alliance Solutions Scholarship program and the legacy Harvest Land Co-Op Agricultural Scholarship program. This is the 14th consecutive year the company has made such a contribution to the youth in its trade territory. CEO Kevin Still notes the importance of investing in the local community and rural youth, stating “These students show tremendous potential. We anticipate a very bright future for these young people and as an organization with cooperative roots it is our duty to support the next generation of agriculture.” Applicants were selected based on academic performance, extra-curricular involvement, and an essay where they had the chance to explain their passion for agriculture and why they’ve chosen it as an area of collegiate study. __________

Council Congratulates Girls Softball Team; Retires K-9

The permits would be vetted by the DDP and brought to the Council for approval when necessary. Three capital expenditure requests were approved: - $84,726 for renewal of Workers’ Compensation Insurance through NFP Property & Casualty Services. - $7,253 from Stormwater for pipe to be used in current and future projects. - $7,564.00 for gun locks for long guns used by the police department. The guns are given by the Federal Government at no cost, but there is a new requirement for the gun locks to be used. - $15,789.00 from Water Dept. for test well driven at 625 E. Main. Town Manager Mark Morgan received consensus from the Council to proceed with a traffic study on Meadowood Drive after a request to lower the speed limit from 30 to 20 mph. In closing comments, Mr. Morgan gave a summary of Department Head reports, including an increase in runs for the Fire Dept. and a new hire to help Barry Lofton with Stormwater/Building Inspection duties. President Tom Pado commented on the “short and lackluster” fireworks display, and praised Fire Chief Rob Roberts on helping with a recent residence fire on SR 75 North while off-duty and helping rescue family pets from the home.

Danville
Local & Social Members of Danville’s most exclusive Men’s Club, Bill Eddy and Phil Gulley, took Saturday morning breakfast to probational member Phil Brickler. Whether this was done in the spirit of goodwill or part of the initiation ceremony was not revealed. _____ With the activites coming back to the square, parents should be reminded not only to keep an eye on the youngsters, but instruct them in proper behavior. At the last Cruise-In, two young boys were seen scaling the north wall of the court house and playing on the sill of the first floor window some five feet from the ground. The following week, a member of the custodial staff had to bring out a lander to climb up to the winow and clean off the handprints left behind, which must have drawn attention in the Superior 1 Courtroom. Just because they saw it on TV is not a good reason for children to play “storm the court house.” __________
