Marengo gets CFF grant MARENGO This Crawford County town has been awarded a $461,000 Community Focus Fund grant to finance waste water treatment system improvements. State Sen. Richard Young, D-Milltown, said the grant award is "great news." "Having a well functioning sewer system is important to community and economic development," Young said. "Because of the high quality of life and lower operating costs, more businesses and industries are looking at rural communities to locate or expand. It's important that these communities have adequate infrastructure, including sewage capacity, to handle this growth." Young is working on behalf of several communities in his district that are planning to expand or improve sewer systems.

Marengo is the only area town among 34 communities benefitting from the latest round of Indiana Department of Commerce CFF grants. The CFF program awards two rounds of grants each year 1 to assist small communities in long-term development projects. Power outage rescheduled HUNTINGBURG The city's electric department will try again this weekend to turn the lights out. Weather permitting, the Huntingburg Electric Department will stage a system-wide power outage at 2 a.m. Sunday.

It will last about two hours. The planned outage is due to repairs needed on a faulty substation switch, according to electric superintendent Dave Mullholand. The outage was originally scheduled for June 1, but was canceled due to rainstorms moving through the area. Mayor Gail Kemp said he did not want to take a chance on sump pumps being without power if something went wrong when the city tried to power up after the repair. Now that the outage has been rescheduled, families relying on electronic alarm clocks to awaken for Sunday morning church services should devise a backup plan this sabbath.

State clerk won't run again INDIANAPOLIS State Courts Clerk John Okeson announced that he will not seek re election in 1998. Okeson, a Republican, made his announcement on Wednesday to the Allen County Republican Club in Fort Wayne. He was elected to the clerk's office in a statewide election in 1994, winning 58 percent of the vote. The office maintains records and documents for the Indiana Court of Appeals and the Indiana Supreme Court. "My decision does not evidence a disappointment with my experience as a public servant," Okeson said.

"While a return to elective office will ultimately be a decision for the voters, I do not rule out seeking that privilege again in the future." There has been speculation that Okeson might run for mayor in Fort Wayne if current Mayor Paul Helmke does not seek a fourth term in 1999. Helmke, a Republican, is considering a run for the U.S. Senate next year. Okeson was born in Fort Wayne and grew up in Allen County. Since his election, he has supported new rules that allow lawyers to file court documents on computer disks, among other things.

Wilson's body was found in his car on a rural road between Fredericksburg and Hardinsburg in Washington County early on the morning of June 12, 1994. He had been shot in the face with a shotgun at close range. Baker said it was important for people in the area to know that Wilson was still missed.

"We want to let criminals in the community know that we are not going to put up with it," she added. "People are still wanting to know (who was responsible) and to find justice." Durbin is in frequent contact with Wilson's mother, Mary Anne. "I just feel sorry for his family, because I know that it has to be hard for them to go on a daily basis not knowing who did this," she said. "I just feel for them. My heart goes out to them."
