Versailles Town Board on the move Wanda English Burnett, Editor Members of the Versailles Town Board are literally on the move. Meetings to discuss the town’s business are now held in the new community building (Tyson gym). Recently, the board members and others from the town participated in a clean up day, picking up trash. New projects were discussed at the regular board meeting held August 14. From ball fields to a ballroom, those in attendance heard how the town board is taking the requests of the people and moving forward. Since the recent purchase of the old school building, phone lines have been buzzing, people have been talking, and grants have been applied for to enhance the building to make a state-of-the-art community center for the area. -Entire Story

Sunman Sewer District hot topic at council meeting Cathy May, Contributing Writer At the August 18 meeting of the Ripley County Council, Donna McCool again brought up the issue of the Sunman Sewer District. She and other Sunman residents are opposed to the district fearing they will be forced to hook up at their own expense. McCool said she has a new septic system and can't afford to hook up to a sewer system. She also explained there are a lot of senior citizens like her who are living on fixed incomes and cannot afford to hook up either. McCool is asking the council to reverse their decision on the petition they signed to approve forming a sewer board, which is the first step in the process to having a sewer district.   -Entire Story
