Jefferson-Jackson
Dinner well attended
Local

Wanda
English Burnett
Editor
Working
together is a concept lost in many political races,
but not the campaign trail of former Speaker of
the House, John Gregg, as he moves toward the
Governor’s mansion in the 2012 race.
“I want to be (your) Governor”, Gregg
told those gathered at the Jefferson-Jackson annual
dinner at the Sherman House in Batesville Saturday
evening, October 22. The evening was sponsored
by Ripley County Democrats with Martha Dramann
and Janice Wittich coordinating the dinner event.

Staff Writer
South Ripley Superintendent Dr. John Mehrle
is pleased to announce that South Ripley High
School will be the site of the Southeastern
EcO15 Talent Showcase this Thursday, October
27 from 4-7 p.m. This event will highlight
projects that drive our local economies, according
to the superintendent.
“It is an honor for South Ripley to be
selected to host this regional event,”
Dr. Mehrle told the Osgood Journal.
He said the school was selected to host the
Showcase due to its central location, new
facilities, and because of the project based
initiatives that have been implemented in
recent years. “South Ripley has made
a concerted effort to integrate its fifth
through eighth grade curriculum with technology
and project based learning,” Dr. Mehrle
noted.

Ison was taken by state police officers about 1

25.

Trick

It's almost
time for Trick-or-Treat!

Kari
Moore
Staff Writer
It’s
that time of year when ghosts, ghouls, and
goblins take to the streets and set out for
one thing. Don’t worry, they’re
not after you, they just want your candy!
According to the Indiana Business Research
Center (IBRC) at Indiana University, there
was an estimated 1 million potential trick-or-treaters
(children between ages 5 and 13) in 2010.

The
closure of State Road 62 at the east entrance
to Friendship has caused quite a stir in the community.
It is a hassle for motorists coming into the small
town from Dearborn County, and those needing to
exit that way.
However, the Indiana Department of Transportation
remains firm that repairing the sliding hillside
and the road is imperative for the safety of motorists.
