• Donations help Martin’s Cloak Food Pantry

    We at Martin’s Cloak Food Pantry want to say thank you to all in the area who have donated to the Perry County Food Coalition.

  • Testing of Indiana’s students excessive

    As a parent and grandparent, I believe parents are the first and primary teachers of their children.

    And a parent does not surrender parental rights to the public school system when a child enters kindergarten.

    As a parent, one remains responsible for their child’s continuing education until the child reaches the age of majority or adulthood.

    Having said this, I’m encouraging parents to get actively involved in Indiana’s statewide testing mandates for the so called ISTEP.

  • Council of Agencies appreciates support

    The Perry County Council of Agencies, as a member of the local food coalition, recently received funds and food through Catholic Charities from many contributors in the area.

    The council members would like to thank those who generously donated to our local food pantry, which is open three mornings a week.

    There continues to be a need in our community to help supplement individuals and families with limited food supplies.

    The Council of Agencies is also open Tuesday morning to provide clothing for men, women and older children.
