It includes a stipend of up to $900 per year for required books and equipment. The recipient may attend any accredited Indiana public or private college or university. The scholarship is available through community foundations statewide. The number of
scholarships available for each county is based on its population. DeKalb County will award one scholarship in 2014. Eligibility details and application materials for DeKalb County students are available on the community foundation’s website, dekalbfoundation.org. The website directs students to submit their application information online by Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2014.

This will help officers observe the activity of the suspect and take necessary action to prevent a possible tragedy.” Traster noted that vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for kids between the ages of 8-15.

This is shameful. Where were you? It was a beautiful sunny, windy November day so you cannot blame it on the weather. Our local veterans deserve more respect than what they were shown on this day. The streets of town should have been lined with people to honor these brave men and women who have fought and/or are fighting for our country. Something to think about when you lie down to sleep tonight. Tina Custer Garrett
