September 2017

Many people want to give back to the community but may not have a lot of time to volunteer. In only about an hour, volunteer blood donors can help save lives and feel instant gratification.
The community is invited to give back and help save lives by donating blood on Tuesday, September 26, 2017, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at St Mary of Lourdes, 221 Frederick Street, Belleville.

For the first time in school history, Belleville High School has two National Merit Scholarship semifinalists in the same year. They are seniors Otto Anson and Riley Medenwald. Both Otto and Riley earned the designation with a qualifying score on the Preliminary SAT. From the 1.6 million high school juniors at more than 22,000 high schools around the country who took the test, Otto and Riley are two of only 16,000 students nationwide to advance in the process. Both will take the SAT this fall. Approximately 90% of the semifinalists move on to become finalists in February.

Dear Editor,
The DNR has evolved into the Department of Exploiting our Natural Resources. It is underfunded, understaffed, and ill equipped to monitor manure from the eight thousand cows that Pinnacle Dairy will be bringing to Sylvester Township. The DNR representative at the public hearing in Albany 9-15-17 suggested that the citizens of Green County keep a watchful eye on the manure spreading practices of Pinnacle Dairy, because they will only check in quarterly, and are understaffed. Manure management is not the responsibility of taxpayers.
