Light retired from the Foundation as chief executive officer earlier this year after 27 productive years.
A brief installation/unveiling ceremony of the “Lighting the Way” sculpture will be held at approximately 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14.
COVID PRESS – As a reminder, the weekly press conferences at Warsaw City Hall on the coronavirus pandemic recently went to biweekly.
Another press conference is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday featuring Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer, Kosciusko County Health Department Public Health Director Dr. Bill Remington or Communicable Disease nurse Teresa Reed and Warsaw Community Schools Superintendent Dr. David Hoffert.
This conference will be broadcast live and available on demand on the city's website at warsaw.in.gov/watchcitymeetings. It will also be broadcast live on the City of Warsaw, IN and Warsaw Community Schools Facebook pages.
A RIOT – Rep. Jim Banks introduced the “Support Peaceful Protest Act” on Friday that would require arrested rioters who were caught committing crimes like acts of violence, looting or vandalism to pay for the cost of federal policing of the riot and be ineligible for federal unemployment assistance, according to a news release we received from his office Friday afternoon.
“Antifa thugs are descending on suffering communities, disrupting peaceful protests and leaving violence, looting and vandalism in their wake. They turned Milwaukee, Seattle and Portland into warzones, and now they’re moving the chaos to Kenosha, Wis. Who knows which community is next?” said Banks in the statement. “Due to enhanced federal benefits, taxpayers are giving wages to jobless rioters that are destroying our communities. We need to cut them off from their funding and make them feel the full financial consequences of their actions.”
