Dream becomes a reality for Blackmore
Posted Wednesday, February 1, at 2:51 PM Music has been a big part of Chris Blackmore's life for a long time. "I learned to play the piano when I was 7 years old," Blackmore said. "Being part of a musical family, everyone either played an instrument or sang." Blackmore, a 1992 Bloomfield High School graduate who grew up in rural Scotland, has taken his musical talents to a new level. He recently produced his first "radio quality" CD...
Bloomfield FCA students to help children in hospitals While most students are still in bed dreading another week of school this coming Monday morning, some Bloomfield High School students will be headed to Indianapolis. That's the site of this year's Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and New York Giants, but the students won't be there to take part in football activities...
First days on the job have been busy for Wilkes When John Wilkes woke up this morning he flipped a light switch and he could see. Then he stepped in the shower, turned a knob, and water came out. Thousands of Linton residents did the same and probably didn't give it a second thought. But Wilkes knows all the hard work that goes into making sure those two things happen every morning...
Dear Santa: Here's some last minute gift requests Many years ago (back in the 1980s, but who's counting) I used to write a column a couple of days before Christmas asking Santa to share his good will with area folks. A colleague asked me the other day if I was going to do that again this year. A quick "no" followed, but I've changed my mind. What could it hurt to ask Santa to pass along some good will (gifts) to area residents?...
Team effort leads Miners one step closer to state finals Steve Weber hit the nail on the head -- or paydirt in this case -- after his Linton-Stockton High School football team won the regional championship Saturday night. The whispers were floating around town throughout the week before, even from the most die-hard Linton fans. They were among the fans who showed up en masse at Roy Williams Field against Milan. The question they wanted answered? "How good is this Linton team?"...
The safety of our children is priority No. 1 To report or not to report? That is the question. Too many times over the past few years we've been forced to make the decision on whether or not to report on bomb threats or other types of "scares" at our area schools. If we report on the incident are we giving someone their "15 minutes of fame?" Will there be copycats? If we don't report on it will parents be upset they weren't informed about a serious issue at the place their children spend a majority of their day?...
Eastern Greene High School's volleyball team getting a lot of attention this week Eastern Greene High School's volleyball team is the center of attention this week. And for good reason. The Thunderbirds will play for the Class 2A volleyball state championship Saturday at 1 p.m. in Ball State University's Worthen Arena at Muncie. Eastern Greene, ranked No. 3 in the state with a 35-4 record, will face No. 2-ranked Wapahani (29-6). You can watch the game live at www.gcdailyworld.com by clicking on the Eastern Greene logo on the front left of the home page...
Eastern Greene is one game away from state volleyball crown Setting goals and working hard are pretty much the norm for most high school athletes and teams. At least athletes and teams that aim for the ultimate prize at the end of the season: A state championship. Unfortunately, only a handful of athletes and teams achieve those goals each year...
Special section, videos dedicated to remembering 9-11 Where were you 10 years ago this Sunday? Anyone born before the late 1950s can probably answer the same question about Nov. 22, 1963. That was the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. Where were you on Jan. 28, 1986 when the space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after take-off?...
If the late Tom Jones wasn't working for the city of Linton as mayor or spending time with his family, there was a pretty good chance you could find him at the Phil Harris Golf Course. He loved playing golf, and he was an outstanding player. Jones won six Greene County Open titles, his last coming in 2001...
Tune in and watch Linton City Council meeting on Monday If you live in Linton, how many city council meetings have you attended? If you're like most, the answer is probably zero. Most residents, though, have an opinion -- or are at least interested -- about something that's taking place in their city. But most can't find the time to make their way to Linton City Hall on the second Monday of every month at 7 p.m. It's a busy world...
2012 race for governor should be fun Next year should be fun if you love politics. Even if you don't enjoy the political campaigns and all that comes with them, it's an important year for Hoosiers and all Americans. Indiana will elect a new governor, and President Obama will seek a second term...
Parade was a hit on www.gcdailyworld.com The annual Fourth of July celebration has come and gone for another year. Mother Nature cooperated for this year's Linton Freedom Festival parade, as it was still in the high 70s at 10 a.m. The predicted rain remained north and south of Greene County. It sprinkled a little around 8:30 or 9, but nothing to worry about...
GCDW will live stream annual Fourth of July parade The Linton Freedom Festival and parade are a tradition in the Greene County area. Families gather. Former schoolmates get together for reunions. Fireworks. Clowns. Carnival games and rides. Floats and school bands are in the parade. And, of course, hot weather...
Zeller gives inspirational talk to Bloomfield FCA students Sometimes we can't cover everything we want to, and everything our readers expect us to cover. It's always nice when someone understands and goes the extra mile to provide us with the information and photos from an event. Such was the case earlier this month...
Eastern Greene students searching for yearbooks The Eastern Greene High School junior English honors class wants to preserve the history of its school. To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the school corporation, the students decided to put together a video documentary of the school's history...
Nine locations set for Day of Prayer Linton churches have taken part in a Day of Prayer for several years at City Hall. This year, though, members of the Linton Ministerial Association wanted to do something different. They wanted to get more people involved. Instead of meeting just once at Linton City Hall, the group has selected nine locations around the city for prayer services on May 3...
Paper offers election straw poll The Greene County Daily World is offering voters in Linton and Jasonville the opportunity to voice their opinions about the upcoming May 3 primary election. Unlike a year ago when there were several races county-wide, this year's primary is focused mainly on Linton...
SWIAC honors students for academics A lot of time and effort go into making our area athletes successful. Most of us never see that extra effort and dedication because it occurs in practice and during the offseasons. The same is true for our area students when it comes to academics. Time spent during class working with a teacher, more time spent before and after school, and also in the evenings is something most don't see unless you're a parent...
Donna Kluesner has been on a mission for the past few years. When the new Linton Public Library opened in August 2007, the status of the former location on the northeast corner of 1st and Vincennes Sts. NE was up in the air. It sat empty for a while, and when it appeared it would be sold, Kluesner went to work. The Linton woman asked for a little more time to find help in preserving the old building, and her efforts paid off...
