The pioneer Arlindo Pereira da Silva arrived from Bahia bringing speakers that were installed on the poles of the main streets. He created the Office of Speaker “The Voice of Iporã”, a kind of radio for communicating parties in the parish, reporting on missing children and missing documents, advertising and give the obituaries. The Voice of Iporã had time to get on the air. When he had breaking news, usually something tragic, Mr. Arlindo put a prefix to announce the tragedy.
