Investment interest rates low; county 'holding its own' in tough economy
(Local News ~ 01/04/12)
The Greene County Board of Finance learned Monday that investment interest rates has been low in the past year -- curbing the amount of income in an otherwise good year during a tough economic period. "It's pretty much the same (as 2010). There hasn't been a whole lot of change ... the balances are about the same. Most of the difference you see there is because of interest rates," Greene County Treasurer Shelby Meurer said...

UPDATED: Lyons man killed in accident east of Marco
(Local News ~ 01/04/12)
Investigators say excessive speed was to blame for a fatal single-vehicle accident east of Marco on Wednesday morning. Jay A. Stephens, 27, of Lyons, sustained fatal internal injuries after flipping his car on County Road 1000W, just south of County Road 610S, according to a report filed by Indiana State Police Trooper John Yung. Yung said Stephens was traveling northbound on CR 1000W in a 2012 Ford Pickup at a high rate of speed when his vehicle began sliding on the gravel road, and partially ran off the east side of the road. He then veered back across the road. "The vehicle yawed across the roadway and off the west side of the roadway, overturning several times in a bean field before coming to a rest on its wheels, facing southwest," Yung wrote. Stephens was not wearing his seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle. Yung noted the gravel road was dry. Yung was dispatched to the scene at approximately 8:30 a.m., but noted the exact time of the accident has not been determined due to the location being remote. "It is believed to have occurred sometime during the early morning hours," Yung wrote. The vehicle was totaled due to rolling through the field, and the hood of the truck was several feet from where the vehicle finally rested. As a result of the overturning, debris from the truck covered the truck's path across the bean field. The accident is still under investigation pending the results of toxicology tests. Yung was assisted by the Greene County Sheriff's Department, Sandborn Volunteer Fire Department, Linton Fire Department, Lyons Volunteer Fire Department, and Greene County Coroner Sherri Wilson.
