Students build trust
Jason Barth and his students at Rising Sun High School spent the day at the Denver Siekman Environmental Park on Friday, April 13. The students experienced a variety of team building and trust activities including the low ropes course, wall climbing, and other team problems and/or obstacles that challenge groups or teams both mentally and physically. These group activities require teamwork (the interaction of all members) to accomplish a task. These team initiative activities allow for the group to work through their objectives. The activity was conducted by Larry Bailey, DSEP board president, Janie Eldridge, director and volunteer Bonnie Schreiner. Barth reported that the field trip was made possible through a grant from teh Ohio County Community Foundation. Barth was assisted with the students by Lisa Sears. Three days prior to the event, the Rising Sun Ohio County Park Board voted to take over the care and control of the park. The low ropes program and team buildng is just one of the many successful programs at the park which has attracted school groups from around the area.

Liability insurance needed for golf carts The Rising Sun City Council recently passed an amended golf cart ordinance which deals with liability of golf cart operators in the city. The news ordinance contends that the liability issue wasn't sufficiently addressed previously. Thus, those operating golf carts must have $25,000 liability insurance in case of a death or $50,000 for
two deaths along with $10,000 coverage for property damage. All carts must be registered and inspected by the Rising Sun Police Department then upon approval must pay $20 at the clerk treasurer's office to receive the required decal. A slow moving vehicle emblem must be displayed. Current residents with golf carts that
already have been issued a decal are asked to bring in proof of insurance to the Clerk Treasurer's office.
The full ordinance is published in today’s paper.
