The Worthington Times

An interview with Hal Harp by Nick Schneider of the Greene County Daily World resulted in a nice article about what’s in store for Worthington in 2007.  Looks like some long-awaited improvements to the downtown area may come to pass in the months ahead.  Go here to read the whole story. 

In the right-hand navigation area on this site, you’ll see a large Indiana State Amber Alert bar.  A click on the bar will take you to the special Amber Alert site set up as a public service to help spread the word quickly whenever a child has been abducted.  Once on the Amber site, surf around to read the story of Amber and what this system is all about.  There’s also tips for parents to help prevent abductions.

When there are no active alerts, this bar will just sit here on the Times site reminding us always to be mindful of the safety of our children.  But when there is an active alert, this bar will automatically start flashing in a way you cannot ignore.  If ever you see the flashing display on this or any other site, click on the bar and the Amber Alert website will give you the details about the child in danger.        

Despite sincere efforts over the years to save Worthington's historic Williams House from the wrecking ball, the building now looks like an accident waiting to happen.  It's a mess - physical, political, financial.  There's an article about it in the Greene County Daily World.   Click here to read it. 

The Worthington Town Council held their first meeting of the year on New Years Day.  Two Council members who ran unopposed in the last election were sworn in for another term and Hal Harp was once again appointed to serve as Council President.  Click here to go straight to the article on the Greene County Daily World website where you can read all about it. 

Long-time public servant Herman Klass of Worthington retired at the end of the year 2006 when his term as Jefferson Township Trustee came to an end.

To honor his dedication to the local community, the Worthington Town Council had declared December 18-22, 2006 as Herman Klass Week in Worthington.  The Daily World carried the story - find it here in their archives.

Klass will be handing the official duties over to Mike Steward of Worthington who ran unopposed and was elected in November 2006 to be the next Jefferson Township Trustee.
