Becca Wagner, daughter
of Dennis and Flora Wagner of Napoleon,
and Jac-Cen-Del’s 2011 Valedictorian,
discovered her career path while eating
lunch with her friends. “My favorite
part of the school day is lunch because
I get to hang out with my friends and talk,”
said Wagner. “This helped me realize
that I should choose a career where I get
to interact with others because I love being
around people.”

T Tornado, high winds, wind shear, thunderstorm
- whatever the National Weather Service decides
to call it, the storm that took a cut through Ripley
County Monday night left debris and damage wherever
it touched.
According to Ripley County Emergency Management
Director Wayne Peace, the weather service has determined
that a small tornado - a FO - the lowest on the
scale, did touch down somewhere between Milan and
Sunman.

Staff Writer
Aiming high must be the norm for the Milan
High School Class of 2011. There was not
just one valedictorian but three who will
share the honor: Katie Dickey, Elaina Voss
and Arielle Noel.
For each of the valedictorians, their mothers
were the most influential person during
their high school years. Kaitlin Dickey,
daughter of Mary and Dave Lynch and Ron
Dickey, said that her mother is the reason
she has done well in school.

Have you ever been up-close and personal with
a baby zebra? Now is your chance to do so as
a local woman invites anyone to see her newest
baby - a grant (type of zebra) on her farm near
Cross Plains.
The baby zebra was a month old on Sunday, May
15 and still doesn’t have a name. Michelle
Leons, owner of the zebra, has decided to offer
school children from grades K-12 the opportunity
of naming him.

Plains woman heads up effort to help tornado victims
in Alabama

Wanda English Burnett
Editor
Reaching out to tornado victims in Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
might seem like a stretch to some, but not Tammy
Welch, who says she is basing her effort on the
scripture that says “you shall love your neighbor
as yourself.”
Welch is spearheading the effort to not only gather
items for those who have endured these horrific
storms, but to take the items to them and volunteer
there for a while.
“I feel like it’s something I can do,”
Welch told The Versailles Republican. She
said hearing about the tragic losses touched her
heart and she knew she needed to do something.

Wanda English Burnett
Editor
“A
breath of fresh air,” is how Spencer Huffmeyer
expressed his feelings about a video documentary
his class (Vincennes University history students)
are making at Jac-Cen-Del. The VU history class
itself is something never thought of 50 years ago
where students now earn college credits while still
in high school.
The documentary will run throughout the evening
on May 10 when the public is invited to the high
school for a Showcase Open House beginning at 5:30
p.m.
