<b>STATE OF THE CITY
2014<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>Greencastle Mayor Sue Murray</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I sat down
to reflect on the State of the <a href="http://www.cityofgreencastle.com/">City of Greencastle</a> as we move into 2014 and
realized that it didn’t take us more than 5 days to know what
one of “the” stories of the year will be:
12 inches of snow and sub-zero temperatures that virtually shut down the city. It is my sincere hope that these days are not
indicative of the next 360.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
After the
last twelve months, I am once again, pleased to report that the fiscal state of
our community ended the year in a sound position. All city departments finished the year within
their projected budgets and revenues did indeed cover expenses. We also saw the significant investment of
$20.9 million in equipment and renovations at our local industries, increasing
the overall assessed value in the city, which does affect the bottom line for
each of us. This good news is something
we don’t take lightly. We are all
watching with angst a proposed legislative initiative that would reduce or
eliminate business personal property tax. That kind of action could mean a 21%
reduction in city tax revenues and an even larger percentage decrease for our
schools. Budget challenges for cities,
towns and schools throughout Indiana are going to continue. Greencastle, in 2014, will be tested because of the filing
error in our public notifications of our proposed budget, legislative changes
aside.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
We cannot
reflect on 2013 without discussion of the horrific fire on May 17<sup>th</sup>
that dramatically affected a south side block in our historic downtown. We saw families displaced, businesses ruined
and buildings gutted. Without the quick
response of the <a href="http://cityofgreencastle.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=11&Itemid=37">Greencastle Fire Department</a> and the aide of 16 fire companies, the tragedy could have been
worse. At this time I am pleased to
report that because of the courage and commitment of the property owners
involved, reconstruction is underway and we will all watch with great excitement
the re-opening of those businesses and buildings. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Much of 2013
also was spent in anticipated construction also. Significant road work was done on Indianapolis
Road, Edgewood Lake Road, and numerous resurfacing projects. Work was completed on the Albin Pond dam rehabilitation, the new Zinc Mill lift station and some
$100,000 in sidewalk initiatives. Of
course there are <a href="http://www.cityofgreencastle.com/stellarcommunities/projects.html">the Stellar projects:</a>
façade work, Washington Street, Owner Occupied Rehabilitation and
parking solutions. We will also be adding Indiana Street reconstruction, 2<sup>nd</sup>
floor loft development, a second round of <a href="http://www.cityofgreencastle.com/stellarcommunities/downtown.html">downtown façades</a> and Owner Occupied
Rehab to the list in 2014.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
People often
ask, “What is going to happen after the Stellar construction is over?” I am pleased to report the community has been
planning and individuals and organizations are helping to move us forward. We had a very successful two day <a href="http://www.bannergraphic.com/story/1994689.html">CommunityForward Summit</a> that has helped to target direction and identify people
interested in “rolling up their sleeves”.
A new group has reconstituted our Main Street organization, and they
have exciting plans for the future. Our
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/GreencastleFarmersMarket">Farmers’ Market</a> continues to be the “place to be” on Saturday mornings. The
Zinc Mill Terrace and Milestone Phase II apartments have added significantly to
our housing options. <a href="http://greencastlecivicleague.org/">The Civic League</a> has successfully taken on the raising of
resources to match a new Land and Water Conservation Grant that will build a
splash park at <a href="http://cityofgreencastle.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=14&Itemid=141">Robe Ann Park</a>. New
businesses have opened and what is not to love about Myers Market, Charlie’s,
Dairy Queen and Wyn Way? And we have
just begun.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Our
community has maintained a most wonderful music scene thanks to individual
artists who generously share their talents, the Great Artists series and the
work of Mark McCoy and the<a href="http://www.depauw.edu/music/"> DePauw School of Music</a>, Tuesday night Park-Fest
series (thanks again to the Civic League), exceptional music on Wednesday’s at
Gobin (organized for the last ten years by Eric Edberg) and the Crown Street
Jazz festival. We can’t forget the <a href="http://www.putnamcountyplayhouse.com/">Putnam County Playhouse</a> productions, our
local community school performances, as well as those at the Green Center
throughout the year. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I would be
remiss not to also reflect on the dedication of the individuals in our
community who spent the year determined to “make a dent” in poverty, house the
homeless, and find a permanent solution that will allow for the re-opening of
the Humane Society. Your work help makes
our community a better place. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Finally, I
want to thank the very dedicated people who work for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/City-of-Greencastle/133065980065658">City of Greencastle</a>. You take great pride in what you do and you
selflessly give of your time and talents to keep us safe, to keep us moving, to
provide recreation, utilities, support and order, and a final resting place. I couldn’t be more proud to have the privilege
of working with this group of people.
As we enter 2014 I remain confident that we will be able to deal with the
challenges ahead: things like unfunded mandates from the Department of
Environmental Management; unexpected weather surprises; construction chaos; funding
concerns and the increasing challenge of providing services to our 10,000
residents. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
As we begin
2014, Greencastle does remain: a great place for work, for growth and for
life. <o:p></o:p></div>

Clearly, we’ve made a lot of progress in a short period of
time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This year, we had an incredible 27 plots available for
renting – and that includes 8 new ones, thanks to the hard work of DePauw Bonner
Scholar Michael Verbeek. All of the
plots were claimed for 2013 and most of the owners from last year re-upped; some
opted to buy more than one. We even have
a waiting list for next year!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Coaches and members of the Greencastle High School boys’
soccer team were extremely helpful in the spring, filling in new plots with
compost and mulching the areas between the plots. The <a href="http://www.cityofgreencastle.com/">City
of Greencastle</a> has continued to be a great partner in our efforts, donating
the leaves that were used as mulch back in the fall. Greencastle also provided the picnic table
that sits outside the northeast corner of the garden, in the shade.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First-time bloomers this spring included irises that Karen
Mortoglio obtained and we planted along the western edge of the garden. Today, we’re seeing squash, watermelons,
beans, snow peas, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and herbs. One renter has strawberries on their mind.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>As we close out May, which is National Historic Preservation
Month, here’s another guest blog post submitted by Phil Gick from the Heritage
Preservation Society (HPS) of Putnam County.
HPS works to promote and encourage interest in the historic structures,
history and heritage of the county, as well as facilitate the identification,
preservation and restoration of the area’s structural heritage.</i> <i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The City of Greencastle’s
architecture reflects over 175 years of changing American and Midwestern
patterns, with ready evidence of general prosperity, cultural attainment and
imaginative design from the early pioneer cabin to the new facilities at DePauw. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Recently, the Heritage
Preservation Society completed walking brochures (pictured) that highlight this
architecture in three of the city’s Historic Districts that are listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
These districts contain over 400 structures that contribute to their
historic beauty, and each of the areas have clear, recognizable themes or
“settings” that convey the cultural landscapes of their times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIUbajiGJc5JY24gIBeuw6ox8FZRZOif8QbvKudzwYBn_ZXVQUkY00Z_ZU3MWjXIQbEmbyMyJJH-Bh2ueLTlYP2HXY_WLG0qfQt0-gnHRR7Mn3FFigdPT60HVkGa6UJ5sfLzhyphenhyphenT7kdCmd7/s1600/Brochure+Cover+NWHD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIUbajiGJc5JY24gIBeuw6ox8FZRZOif8QbvKudzwYBn_ZXVQUkY00Z_ZU3MWjXIQbEmbyMyJJH-Bh2ueLTlYP2HXY_WLG0qfQt0-gnHRR7Mn3FFigdPT60HVkGa6UJ5sfLzhyphenhyphenT7kdCmd7/s200/Brochure+Cover+NWHD.jpg" width="125" /></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <b>Northwood Historic District</b>, with its collection of early to mid-20<sup>th</sup>
century residential resources, and extremely high degree of integrity, provides
a window into the period immediately following World War I through the period
immediately following World War II. It
beckons you to a time you can only read about in history books now – a time of
American innocence. Driving through the
area can be very nostalgic, particularly to those of the “greatest generation”
and their children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

late-19th to early 20th century residences, also retains a lot of integrity. In this district, one can see a wide variety of
American architectural styles featured in mansions and small cottages. This area is still “home” to many of the most
prominent residences built in the community during any era. Beautifully shaded East Washington, Seminary,
Anderson and Bloomington streets lead to the homes of the most prosperous
Greencastle citizens of the late-19<sup>th</sup> and early 20<sup>th</sup> centuries. The substantial number of “high society”
Italianate, Queen Anne, Tudor Gothic Revival and Eastlake structures convey the
feel of a quintessential “turn of the century” affluent neighborhood. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As you travel through this
district on Seminary Street – the residential “main street” – you will see
multiple National Register-listed structures, such as the stately Franklin P.
Nelson House and the University President’s official residence, the Elms. Walk across the district via almost any route
and you will fully appreciate the large collection of beautiful turn of the
century homes within its footprint. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While majestic homes certainly
draw significant attention, it’s important to remember that Greencastle began as
a small and humble pioneer village. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODSJafimRXz5yEaMI7XVMd7y-RnQiBacQCNXd8_VDwi_N7X4tNLs7ZPzQ1j-xTtUSKPoL0Kk0ivQCifn3EEKqqbP8DGVmL-nqcYbu1Qtv8988467x7ucwbdZx5cXymdRa_dj42wBL8Nye/s1600/Brochure+Cover+OGHD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODSJafimRXz5yEaMI7XVMd7y-RnQiBacQCNXd8_VDwi_N7X4tNLs7ZPzQ1j-xTtUSKPoL0Kk0ivQCifn3EEKqqbP8DGVmL-nqcYbu1Qtv8988467x7ucwbdZx5cXymdRa_dj42wBL8Nye/s200/Brochure+Cover+OGHD.jpg" width="125" /></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course, as the seat of
county government and home to a college, its population soon grew. From an early time, stores, shops and mills
were located around or near the square, and the area to the west was where homes
sprung up. This is what comprises the residential area
now known as the <b>Old Greencastle
Historic District</b>. Here, Carpenter-Builder
style homes, with a significant complement of Stick and Bungalow structures, dominate. They speak to the modest means of the city’s early
businessmen and workers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
character and visual elements of these historic residential districts have not
changed dramatically from their original settings. During the summer months, when trees and
flowers are in full bloom, and the university is on summer schedule, a walk
along many of these districts’ streets quickly returns you to a time when
homeowners cut their grass with push lawnmowers…when cars with loud blaring
music did <u>not</u> travel the thoroughfares…and when sitting on your front
porch, with a radio tuned to a baseball game, was still THE thing to do on a
lazy Saturday afternoon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
Old Greencastle, Eastern Enlargement and Northwood Historic Districts are
special – they’re an architectural road map of the community’s existence. They’re a symbol of the past, but also
reflect the pride of the present owners who have taken up the mantle of
preserving the physical and visible images of these beautiful places. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">A great example of our recent work is the ongoing effort to
restore the Putnam County Civil War Monument (CWM) in <a href="http://cityofgreencastle.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=10&Itemid=36">Forest Hill Cemetery</a>.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We were first drawn to this beautiful
memorial in the fall of 2011, when we noticed its deteriorated state while
planning tours of the cemetery.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Over the past year and a half, HPS, in conjunction with
others within the county, has taken steps to raise awareness of the history of
the monument, along with funds to enable the community to assess, stabilize and
restore it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">In celebration of National Historic Preservation Month, I’d
like to share a little about the fascinating history of this structure:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ligatures: none;">In 1865, shortly after the Civil War, the Putnam County
Soldiers Monument Association was formed, with the goal of building a monument
to honor their local war heroes. By the spring of 1866, $5,000 was raised and a
contract with T.D. Jones & Co. of Cincinnati was signed. The proposed location would be the new Forest
Hill Cemetery, and the design would be a statue that featured a figure atop a
rather large pedestal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ligatures: none;">In 1867, McConnell & O’Hare of Cincinnati erected the
shaft. In 1869, O’Hare & Barry, who
cut the soldier figure, saw to its installation atop the pedestal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ligatures: none;">On July 2, 1870, a crowd of 8,000 gathered in Peck’s Grove,
a large group of trees to the east of the monument near Bloomington St., for
the dedication of the nearly 30-foot tall monument. Special trains, bringing guests from near and
far, arrived from Terre Haute and Indianapolis. Rev. Dr. Thomas Bowman of <a href="http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=56438">Indiana AsburyUniversity</a> (now DePauw) offered the opening prayer. One of the state’s best orators, Col. R. W.
Thompson delivered the principal address.
General <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lew_Wallace">Lew Wallace</a> of Crawfordsville, author of <i>Ben Hur</i>, spoke. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Following the addresses, the crowd marched to the monument
led by Indianapolis and <a href="http://www.cityofgreencastle.com/">Greencastle</a> brass bands. In front of the still-veiled statue, the
dedication continued. Veterans of the
war, bearing their tattered regimental flags, encircled the platform, while
Indiana’s governor and other important “VIPs” and clergy occupied a portion of
the platform for the final ceremonial moments prior to the unveiling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ligatures: none;">After its dedication, the monument remained a central
element of memorial events conducted annually.
But over time, as the generation of those it commemorated passed, such
activities tended to gravitate to the Court House Square, where new monuments
to those who perished in subsequent conflicts were erected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Many things make the Putnam County CWM special. For example, it is only the third such
monument of its kind erected in Indiana.
Unlike most, it depicts the “common” soldier; he is seated and looking
to the West. It is larger than most
monuments and it was placed in a cemetery, instead of a central site, such as a
downtown square. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; mso-ligatures: none;">The CWM still conveys to those who see it the high esteem those
within a small Midwestern community held the 321 fellow citizens who made the
ultimate sacrifice. It represents so
much about not only the past, but of the spirit and patriotism of today’s
citizens. Hopefully these citizens will
ensure the CWM continues to inspire future generations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Early on Friday morning, May 17,
a fire broke out on the second floor of one of the buildings in our historic
downtown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Greencastle Fire
Department was on the scene three minutes later, but in less than ten minutes
dark billowing smoke could be seen from blocks away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I arrived on the site a few minutes later,
Chief Newgent already had set up a command post in the area of the Court House
and called for assistance. Asst. Chief, Jeff Mace was coordinating the efforts
of the department in the back of the first block on E. Washington Street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Wilson’s to Starbucks)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As our crews continued to fight, what
seemed like an ever-growing threat, mutual aide began arriving from departments
throughout the county as well as from Avon, Brazil, Crawfordsville, Danville,
and Plainfield.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with the addition
of reinforcements and equipment this aggressive blaze challenged the units for
another two hours. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What was most
amazing, and definitely the result of long hours of training and coordination,
these departments worked seamlessly to fight back the flames.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a direct result of their diligent
efforts that there wasn’t significantly more damage to the block.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the end of the day, we here in
Greencastle have much to be thankful for. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">First</b>,
no one was hurt as a result of the fire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have an incredibly well trained and dedicated group of firefighters
serving our community and we have friends in other communities ready to come to
our aide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our city’s police force spent
the day providing security, traffic control and support. The water department
made sure there was a plentiful supply of water available for the fight and our
Department of Public Works worked to re-route traffic and came to help with
clean-up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are grateful to the Mason’s
for opening their facility to those in need and for our Red Cross, who set-up
their helping headquarters there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">many</b> local restaurants and
businesses that provided food and beverages for all of the first responders and
we had officials from the state that came to offer their support and assistance.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Do I wish May 17 had
been different, definitely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have much
work to do to rebuild and refurbish the buildings affected and their owners and
occupants need our continuing help and support, but I am most proud to be the
Mayor of this Indiana city where people truly care about those they serve, the
jobs they do, and their neighbors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Today, we are a city of heroes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br />
Right outside their windows, volunteers both young and old were sprucing up the area around the building, laying mulch and planting flowers for springtime.<br />
<br />
City Hall employees (not to mention everyone else who works or lives nearby) have <a href="http://www.depauw.edu/">DePauw University</a> and the <a href="http://greencastlecivicleague.org/">Greencastle Civic League</a> to thank for the lovely landscape improvements.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, he really doesn't want the attention, but the
Hoosier Holidays artists were inspired to collect blankets after 8-year-old Jacob
Beadles told a Bible study group that he wanted to do something about the
heartbreaking reality of homelessness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's how young Jacob sums it up himself:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“During recent trips to Chicago and Indianapolis I saw a
lot of homeless people and I've been feeling led to make some blankets for the
homeless. I want to be able to get the
material to make blankets to take to some local shelters and possibly hand some
out myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I told my parents and some friends of theirs at my church
about my wish and they are excited to help.
Miss Bobbie told me that she and her friends might be able to help me,
too. This made me feel more confident
that we can do this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, of course, all the musicians rallied around this
cause. We want to make a positive
impact, and we were also touched by Jacob's loving heart and want to support
him in his vision to make a difference!
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bringing a blanket on Friday will allow you to purchase
your ticket at the door at a discount.
The Beadles family will be distributing the blankets to area homeless
shelters, many of which are taking in Putnam County residents. If we are flooded with blankets (and we hope
we will be), several members of the <a href="http://greencastlecivicleague.org/">Greencastle Civic League</a> have volunteered
to assist in the distribution effort.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

19 4’x8’ raised bed plots, 18 of which have been rented. There are
also two 4’x8’ public plots. Compost for the plots was donated by
DePauw University. Over time the compost has turned into excellent
soil. We have mulched the areas between the plots with leaves
provided by the city. This makes the areas between the plots low
maintenance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> </span></div>

plants that are mostly flourishing with little care. The public
plots contain donated peppers, tomatoes, and a watermelon
plant. There was also a squash plant that died, but not before we
were able to harvest a couple of squash. We received a
donation of irises which we planted along the western fence. </span></div>

included spinach, radishes, lettuce, and dill. Now they contain tomatoes,
peppers, green beans, squash, okra, corn, and herbs among other
things. There are also some ornamental flower plants. We
have two water barrels which the city graciously keeps filled. In
this drought year that has been our main source of water. Despite
the drought, the private plots are absolutely flourishing. It’s
really quite amazing to see. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;">Metronet,
local provider of Greencastle’s 100% fiber optic network, has a new home. The
Courthouse Square Business District downtown. You’ll find us at 15 South
Indiana Street one block south of the square, across the street from Crown
Equipment and next door to Moore’s Bar & Restaurant.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;">After
more than six successful years on the southeast side of town, the opportunity
for this new home downtown presented itself and we knew it was the right move
for us.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;">We
purchased a fantastic historic building built in the late 1800s with great
bones and were able to breathe new life into it. Starting with complete
interior renovations which modernized the inside with our fiber technology, we
then installed a new roof and gutters, repaired the historic brick exterior,
and finished the outside by giving our building a facelift with historically
accurate paint colors.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;">Seeing
first-hand the changes and improvements around Greencastle due to the Stellar
Community Grant only confirm that our decision was the right one. We’re proud
to be participating in Phase Two of the Stellar program which will allow us to
further improve the building with transoms and new windows based on historic
drawings.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">During
the purchase process several folks shared with us some of the history of the
building. As Bill Dory, executive director of the Greencastle/Putnam County
Development Center, noted, “Communications in Greencastle is coming full circle.
Metronet’s new office location once housed the local newspaper and later the
first telephone exchange in the community.”</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Metronet is proud
to have invested millions of dollars to build our 100% fiber optic network in
Greencastle and to be a community partner. It’s our goal to offer
outstanding local service and superior products at competitive prices. And
we’ll continue to do that, only now from downtown.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our service
offerings include high-speed Internet with speeds up to 100Mb without slowdowns
because you don’t share a connection with neighbors, a sharp television picture
whether you’re watching HD or standard definition, and reliable phone service
with all the features and unlimited long distance. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our 100% fiber
optic network also offers unlimited possibilities for the future — like games,
apps, interactive TV and other features.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;">Metronet
is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Come visit our new home. We’d
love to see you.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
We live for gadgets. But even the
smallest ones can consume an enormous amount of power. See some of the worst
offenders.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Game Consoles—</b>It's all fun and games, until you get your energy
bill. If you leave your Xbox or PlayStation on when you're not playing, you are
wasting
as much energy as leaving a desktop computer running.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Plasma TV—</b>Plasma TVs consume about two times more power than LCD
versions. To save even more energy, go for a smaller screen. A 32-inch set uses
about half as much power as a 52-inch LCD.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Digital picture frames</b>—These little items pack a power punch.
Consider this: If every home in the U.S. had one of these displaying
around the clock, it would take five power plants to keep them on, according to
the <a href="http://yhoo.it/NQF5r2">Electric Power Research Institute</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Laptops—</b>If your laptop has a screensaver with images, it consumes <a href="http://tech.ca.msn.com/vampire-power-reality-check-what-tech-gear-sucks-the-most-1">more
power</a> than an idle laptop.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Battery chargers—</b>Your mobile devices doesn't take up that much
power on their own, but if they are left plugged into electric outlets, even
when the charger isn't connected, they continue to draw power. Add up that most
households use more than one charger, and across the country, they could
consume the energy of several power plants.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Power-saving solutions—</b>One way to stop power use when you're not
using your devices: Turn them all the way off. Another way to save -- try an <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/htgg/how-to-go-green-gadgets.html">energy-saving
power strip</a>. The power-savers are designed to cut power to devices that
don't need it.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
You can also change your new
device's default settings: You can manually change the brightness settings on
your TVs and computer screens to suck up less energy.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The green website <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/htgg/how-to-go-green-gadgets.html">Treehugger</a>
has helpful tips for getting more eco-friendly gadgets, including: checking
with <a href="http://www.energystar.gov/">Energy Star</a> and <a href="http://www.greenerchoices.org/">Consumer Reports</a> before you buy; and,
take advantage of <a href="http://e-stewards.org/find-a-recycler/">local
recycling programs</a> when you do switch out gadgets, or even consider selling
your old one instead of throwing it away.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">ParkFest's Karaoke Contest was such a treat! We had
15 people sign up to sing songs from Elvis to The Judds. Constants
ranged in age from ten to 67 years old. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">We awarded two $100 cash prizes.<span>
</span>The judges – Sue Brucks of Studio B, Jared Jernigan from the Banner
Graphic, and John Fisher from WREB radio – awarded the Judges’ Choice
Award to ten year-old Sydney Anderson, who blew us all away with her
version of James Brown's "I Feel Good.”<span>
</span>Sydney walked up to the microphone shaking and nervous, but after
the crowd chanted, "you can do it, you can do it" she took a deep
breath and decided to go for it. As soon as the music started Sydney
took off like a rocket and every face in the crowd wore a smile!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">Our audience had a chance to pick their favorite to win the
People's Choice Award as well. When all the contestants had finished, the
crowd voted by dropping money in the mason jar labeled with the name and song
of their favorite singer. The People's Choice award went to Katie
Null of Indianapolis, whose grandfather is a Greencastle native, and invited her
to come give it a try! She sang Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best
Shot.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #222222;">Voting for the People’s Choice Award also was a fundraiser for the
Greencastle Civic League's Splash Park Project.<span>
</span>We raised more than $250, thanks to the generosity of our ParkFest
audience, and the boldness of our Karaoke contestants. THANK YOU TO
EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS EVENING SUCH A WONDERFUL AND FUN ONE!</span></span></div>

that I hadn't stopped smiling all night. </span></span></div>

last 18 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year, we are pleased
to welcome The Greencastle Friends of the Park Association and <a href="http://www.depauw.edu/">DePauwUniversity</a> as new sponsors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their
support has allowed us to enhance our offerings this summer, which is why we
have added a Teen Night and a special welcome to incoming DePauw freshmen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are very grateful for and appreciative of
our new sponsors for being a part of this community event.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

line up! The Civic League issued an open call to musicians and we
received 27 submissions from musicians across the Midwest. From those
submissions the ParkFest committee chose 18 acts, many from our local
community. This represents a significant increase from previous years,
where we have had eight to nine bands for the entire summer. Many of
these groups are included this year, alongside a diverse slew of new talent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In selecting musical groups, we paired
artists who we felt would appeal to a similar demographic and complement each
other, and tried to book the series in a way that offered our entire community
– from our seniors to our youth – a unique, enjoyable, and FREE musical experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The 2012 Tox-Away Day, sponsored by West Central Solid Waste
District (WCSWD), saw another successful year! Putnam County residents took
advantage of the opportunity to safely and inexpensively dispose of household
hazardous waste, appliances, tires, electronics and unwanted medicines. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">WCSWD staff would like to thank all those who participated in this
year’s event. We had a continuous line
of vehicles and were able to serve 500 participants during the five hour event. A big thank you is in order to Dale Jessop
and the Putnam County 4-H Fair Board for permitting us to use the fairgrounds
for this important community service.
Thank you also to Tonya Sanders at WREB radio and the Greencastle Civic
League for helping to get the word out and making the event run smoothly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">WCSWD was able to remove more than 29,200 lbs. of toxic and
hazardous materials from the environment.
Also collected were 552 tires, 85 appliances, 398 electronics, and 91
lbs. of unwanted medicines.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Residents often ask why we don’t provide more than one Tox-Away
Day in Putnam County each year. WCSWD is
a three-county district (also serving Montgomery and Parke County). More than
$63,000 is spent each year for the three one-day events. One event is sponsored
in each county annually, and residents are welcome to participate in any or all
three events. It is our hope that
residents will take advantage of this service by cleaning out their home and/or
garage and bringing their household hazardous items to us. These materials, if disposed of improperly,
can be dangerous to human and animal health, and the environment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Tox-Away Days are scheduled in the same month and location each
year so residents will get familiar with when the event will be held in their
county. The Putnam County Tox-Away Day
is always in May, Montgomery County follows in June (N. Mont High School), and
Parke County (4-H Fairgrounds, Rockville) is held the end of September or in
early October. All events are from 8 a.m.
to 1 p.m. and are held rain or shine. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When residents arrive to the Tox-Away Day location, they are
routed to appropriate collection stations – from appliances, tires,
electronics, unwanted medications, to hazardous wastes (such as chemicals,
cleaners, antifreeze, acids, fuels, etc.).
WCSWD contracts events through NuGenesis, an environmental services company,
which specializes in household hazardous waste collection. Skilled and experienced personnel are on hand
to unload all materials, so residents do not have to leave the comfort and
safety of their vehicle. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Longer lines can be expected at the beginning of the event. Each event starts promptly at 8 a.m., so
there is no need to arrive early to get in line – this can actually create
traffic backups on the roads and can become a safety issue.</span></div>

Construction of the 140,000 square-foot expansion proceeded through much of last year. Today, the company is moving into the new space and reorganizing some of the activities in the older section of the plant. During the next several years, over 140 new jobs will be added at the facility.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; ">In the summer of 2011, both <a href="http://www.chiyoda-usa.com/">Chiyoda USA Corporation</a> and <a href="http://iacna.com/">International Automotive Components</a> (IAC) announced investments in new equipment, as they’re both pursuing new contracts and new business. IAC will soon be manufacturing door panels for the new Ford Escape using some of the latest in <a href="http://www.bannergraphic.com/story/1815054.html">“green” materials and technology</a>. This new business will allow IAC to recall and add 255 employees. At the same time, Chiyoda is developing local expertise in blow molding for the automotive industry.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; ">Phoenix Closures <a href="http://www.in.gov/portal/news_events/72487.htm">announced in August</a> of 2011 that it would locate a new plant in Greencastle and create 90 new jobs over the next several years.

Hiring of management and professional positions has begun. Hiring for production positions has also started. Applicants can apply through the local WorkOne office or online at <a href="https://www.indianacareerconnect.com/">Indiana Career Connect</a>. Employees will undergo extensive training to ensure outstanding quality and compliance with regulations that govern products used in the food and drug industries.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; ">I think it’s important to share with you that, in recent meetings, members of Phoenix’ leadership team were very appreciative of the support provided by our community, including the city council, redevelopment commission, city department heads and staff, Duke Energy, CSX Transportation, WorkOne Western Indiana, and many others. We are, of course, thrilled to welcome <a href="http://www.phoenixclosures.com/">Phoenix Closures</a> to Putnam County. <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; ">Elsewhere in the county, investments were made in Bainbridge, Cloverdale and Fillmore. And, while it was announced in 2010, POET Bio-refining in Cloverdale started full production in April of last year. They are purchasing corn from local farmers. This additional income flows through to other businesses in the area with the purchase of goods and services by our agriculture community.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; <a href=" com="" _xuf5jsgsjq="" t4rjkc5aryi="" aaaaaaaaamm="" 4ealdg1lri8="" s1600=""><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3C62jSUxYLeREHoDgu_X06yk2-hsnkc-yqfDHtIly_gNnZV0taObe-DNwb43JWxgD795AvEusbbmQ0i-NVZiJd1b_WCvfXn-d-9vFNVjngzC-Osj1R8qDDyZCAeVBiuyFt2MdMzvru_T/s320/GreencastleSpec.jpg" border="0" alt="" />One final note of good economic news from the last year – in December, homegrown <a href="http://www.dixiechopper.com/">Dixie Chopper</a> began utilizing the city’s spec building on East County Road 50 South.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-style: normal; ">Clearly, it’s been a terrific 12 months. To sum up, for 2011, more than $60 million was invested in Greencastle and Putnam County.

<br />
<br />Project Coordinator Michael Verbeek, a DePauw junior and <a href="http://www.depauw.edu/univ/hartman/bonner/index.asp">Bonner Scholar</a>, has led the community garden project over the past few months. He and members of the university’s Spanish Immersion Program, which is made up of both incoming freshmen and upperclassmen leaders, ensured that the garden was tilled, composted and fenced. They even helped build the ten 8-by-4 foot plots that are featured in the space.<div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSfA4sfOXevvxE5gjtDhu9RExZQnd647XFH5Ia_lXscbsMCCmt1SV01TAFpIeibErmWKG5WNuCtRXMTwhA-hkN35qIgsX30HIjIbs80m1p0MNSdl0qny-jo6RiWIdrCbW1x4-iChWAu-8/s1600/communitygarden2.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 200px; height: 150px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641128481185028082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSfA4sfOXevvxE5gjtDhu9RExZQnd647XFH5Ia_lXscbsMCCmt1SV01TAFpIeibErmWKG5WNuCtRXMTwhA-hkN35qIgsX30HIjIbs80m1p0MNSdl0qny-jo6RiWIdrCbW1x4-iChWAu-8/s200/communitygarden2.JPG" /></a>

<br /><div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Local volunteers lent a hand, as well. Bruce Sanders, the primary manager of the garden, was pivotal to this summer’s progress, and Brian Cox provided fencing expertise. Matt Brauer, a recent graduate of DePauw, also helped out.
<br />
<br />Financial support for the most recent community garden efforts came from a generous grant by the <a href="http://www.bonner.org/resources/overview/org_fund.htm">DePauw University Bonner Program Community Fund</a>. The grant not only made it possible for the plots and fence to be constructed, but it also allowed for the inclusion of an ADA-accessible bed.
<br />
<br />These combined efforts mean that phase one of this year’s project is now complete . Phase two will begin at the end of the season. Tires and cinder block plots will soon be removed and replaced with new wooden plot dividers. By the end of the project, Verbeek estimates there will be about 30 plots in total.
<br />
<br />Future plans for the garden include a picnic table and a sign designed and colored by elementary school students.
<br />
<br />The Greencastle Community Garden is located on the City Hall reserve parking site off Franklin St. First launched in 2009, it is a culmination of the hard work of community members, DePauw students, and the <a href="http://sites.google.com/site/greencastlesustainability/Home/greencastle-commision-on-sustainability">Greencastle Sustainability Commission</a>.

<br /><em>*Please note: All of the compost for the Greencastle Community Garden was donated by DePauw University. Next spring Verbeek plans to organize a composting day where local residents can utilize extra compost from DePauw to further promote home gardening.</</em>Community Forward Greencastlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06946220068809445625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766044566889152410.post-52481930396080959362011-05-27T14:47:00.012-04:002011-05-27T15:29:45.466-04:00Happy 50th Anniversary to the Putnam County Playhouse!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkMrj3znk-kM_ATY-iV-yK4Au2JGWnsatSSmsiyWxFIqPVB9F__4rHbrySGHeUkAOxsMnreYXmE6zW2JaqWQ0yBqMvsZ1yFc7TbHsQPsfCBBraNBI0LjKcGa_U91uajxVNgd9bYlkVyvMs/s1600/DSCF8543.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkMrj3znk-kM_ATY-iV-yK4Au2JGWnsatSSmsiyWxFIqPVB9F__4rHbrySGHeUkAOxsMnreYXmE6zW2JaqWQ0yBqMvsZ1yFc7TbHsQPsfCBBraNBI0LjKcGa_U91uajxVNgd9bYlkVyvMs/s200/DSCF8543.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611477249315910450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsX22Sg5IndvMpdUUyMmxhRTzDF59-8gUccdN_SS7K6HWFmKcsE-wM4ikm9JQEORioZLNXwYOLWd6aE-0fSKcI-hrZkR-QQs3BL5qY1AYpfbjlU_v9ywqFtoSI9uJTEWYeTUVZkfL98GqN/s1600/DSCF8548.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsX22Sg5IndvMpdUUyMmxhRTzDF59-8gUccdN_SS7K6HWFmKcsE-wM4ikm9JQEORioZLNXwYOLWd6aE-0fSKcI-hrZkR-QQs3BL5qY1AYpfbjlU_v9ywqFtoSI9uJTEWYeTUVZkfL98GqN/s200/DSCF8548.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611477242742208706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEbKU_YjduZk5KCyWCQZ6upWqiYBYaimpTeUNQml7zoep9bN5klmPYSzjm52is0tkPrgxFLyqaBm8Rkca4UcZOgngOgMr3twpI4Tzexj9Y-SdQM1j6dU2PPwZcN4JcDAGSBwiCDaasPck0/s1600/DSCF8553.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEbKU_YjduZk5KCyWCQZ6upWqiYBYaimpTeUNQml7zoep9bN5klmPYSzjm52is0tkPrgxFLyqaBm8Rkca4UcZOgngOgMr3twpI4Tzexj9Y-SdQM1j6dU2PPwZcN4JcDAGSBwiCDaasPck0/s200/DSCF8553.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611477240959867410" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYBBpOckKRBgtWpk6axfjE3oHPdevZ3ISyg0vnM8U48QbjgxFf39G50p7nI9KYg-TVZFqcTKQREFvuwD4L-AnxaC02azk8j3BVgsB5ro76kFtOvl7XF20QstLbm06QVETP_j5TmKDupFJ5/s1600/DSCF8539.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYBBpOckKRBgtWpk6axfjE3oHPdevZ3ISyg0vnM8U48QbjgxFf39G50p7nI9KYg-TVZFqcTKQREFvuwD4L-AnxaC02azk8j3BVgsB5ro76kFtOvl7XF20QstLbm06QVETP_j5TmKDupFJ5/s200/DSCF8539.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611477236055736578" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We are nearing the end of what Mayor Sue Murray <a href="http://putnamcountyplayhouse.com/documents/2011Proclamation_0001.pdf">officially proclaimed</a> "Putnam County Playhouse 50th Anniversary Week."<br /><br />Yes, this week, May 22-28, 2011, has been all about celebrating the <a href="http://putnamcountyplayhouse.com/">Putnam County Playhouse's </a>big milestone!<br /><br />Above are some photos we took outside the playhouse recently, as well as a shot of the banner hanging near City Hall commemorating the anniversary.
