English Burnett
Editor
Two
crimes were nipped in the bud due to the alert
thinking and actions of The Friendship State
Bank employees, according to Chris Meyer, director
of marketing.
The bank has a new Fraud Buster program in place,
which Meyer says along with the quick thinking
of Nick Rauch at the Batesville branch and Rinda
Reed at the Versailles branch, stopped fraudulent
transactions from being made.

Straw
poll shows majority approves
Milan looks at balanced calendar
|
Beth
Rumsey
Staff Writer
Parents,
students, teachers and some Milan school board
members attended a special meeting held at the
Milan Elementary School on Wednesday, April
6 to begin discussion about a balanced calendar
for the Milan Community School Corporation.
A balanced calendar will continue to have 180
days of instruction, but will have regularly
scheduled two week breaks after each nine weeks
of instruction. This means school would start
August 1; then there would be a two week break
in October, a two week Christmas break, and
a two or three week break in March, depending
on snow make-up days. There would be a seven
week summer break.

The
odds of winning were 54 to 1 and (Ada) Elizabeth
Smith was the lucky one!
There was excitement in the air at Milan High
School last Thursday, March 31 when the announcement
was made that Smith was the winner of the Ripley
County Community Foundation 2011 Lilly Endowment
Community Scholar award.
“I’m just shaking,” she said
breathless after she was called to the office
last week to hear the news. Only a select few
knew the winner, with her mother, Paula Karsteter,
being one of them. She was excited as well,
knowing the financial boost this means.
