Communities,
Economic Development, Wellness
Work is underway on creating more than 30 miles of
multi-use trail across parts of the Tri-State.
Crews just finished a portion of the path from Anderson
Road to the Victoria National Golf Course subdivision.
The project is broken into six segments. The trail will
eventually be about 30 miles long and stretch from Boonville to Vanderburgh County.
It will also help connect schools, parks, and businesses in
the area.
"We're focusing on healthy living for our
residents," Warrick Wellness Pathways President Howard Nevins
said. "It's also in conjunction with economic development the people
want to move to our area. Most want healthy living and healthy lifestyles, and
it's a big attraction for people to move to Southern Indiana and for employers
to get employees it's a good recruitment tool."
Small Towns, Tourism
Here in Ohio, we know small towns are cool.
In fact, we’re home to what just might be the coolest small town
in the Midwest. As a quaint college town full of color, plenty of things to do
in nature and even a mobile “tiny home” or two, there’s truly nowhere else in
Ohio—or the Midwest—quite like Yellow Springs. If you’ve yet to visit this gem
of a town, you need to add it to your bucket list. Take a look:
Tucked away in southwest Ohio you'll find Ohio's most charming and
unique town, where the benches are a work of art and the buildings are full of character—inside
and out.
Environment,
Green Initiatives
Separately,
Commissioner Harvey Ward proposed Thursday to establish a “Green Ribbon Panel,”
similar to the city’s Blue Ribbon Panel. Commissioners voted unanimously to
send the idea to the city’s general policy committee, which is made up of commissioners.
Ward
said he would like to have commissioners appoint experts to the panel to study
how the city could become more environmentally friendly. Ward mentioned
recycling, waste reduction, reducing carbon emissions and water conservation as
potential starting points for the committee, which would include the city’s
transit service and utility.
“I
don’t want to claim to have the answers by any means, but there are experts
that have the answers,” he said.
Community,
Refugees, Immigrants
(READ or LISTEN)
It was Saturday in suburbia, and a group of Syrian, Iraqi
and American teens were at the local library when they decided to go to the
field out back to play a little soccer. On the way, a Syrian boy asked an
American girl if she wanted to be on his team.
She said yes.
That’s how it went, all summer long, in a respite from
the religious violence and political turmoil roiling their young worlds. A
group of American teenagers from the Maplewood and South Orange suburbs of
North Jersey spent the summer hanging out with newly resettled refugee
teenagers from Syria and Iraq, now living in the area around
urban Elizabeth, NJ.
Travel,
Weekends
Who says every trip you take has to be a big one? Two days
can feel like two weeks if you plan them right. It’s easier than you think to
maximize your travel opportunities by giving your weekends the credit they
deserve. Here are ten ways to make a weekend getaway feel like a vacation.
1. Limit your transportation time
You want to get to your destination with alacrity—not with anxiety! Leave early
to avoid traffic, or choose a destination close to home. If you just can’t
resist traveling farther, consider planning an overnight on the way. If you’re
flying, don’t waste more time in an airport than you need to—make sure you have security pre-check.2. Extend your stay, even by a little bit
