  • Bank robbery suspects nabbed in Shelbyville

    Two suspects in a bank robbery were arrested in Shelbyville Monday night after being located hiding in an apartment by police.

    When Shelbyville Police Officer Jeff McClellan heard the description of the person that had allegedly robbed the Peoples Bank in Spencer County that day, he had an idea he could be hiding out here, said

    Shelbyville Police Chief Robert Schutte.

    "Jeff heard the name of Norton, and he had previously participated in an investigation involving him, and he thought he might be able to find him at Hi Point Apartments," Schutte said.

  • Does God answer prayers about gas prices?

    Pray at the Pump is a new movement to enlist God's power to lower gas prices. Activist Rocky Twyman, of the Washington, D.C. area, began the group a few months ago because soup kitchen volunteers were unable to drive in from the suburbs because of rising gas prices. So Twyman started the prayer groups.

    People met at gas stations to ask God to give them lower gas prices. So, when prices went down, they gathered to thank God for the recent dip in prices.

  • Class reunions revive memories of cross-county battles

    A cross-town rivalry was rekindled on July 26 when two local high school classes held their 40-year reunions on the same night.

    The 1968 graduating classes from Shelbyville High School and Shelby County High School did not intend to schedule their reunions on the same night.

    Reunion organizers from both schools admitted that getting that many Rockets and Red Devils in close proximity is still a risky venture.

    Thankfully, the reunions were held 5 miles apart and those who had too much to drink weren't allowed to drive.

    That's right -- by dining out.

    Everyone knows what's on the menu at their favorite restaurant. But do they know if they're risking their health by eating there?
