Some quick notes

There were two announcements from SJC this past week.  First, there was an announcement of a new fund raising initiative, which is currently on its home page. Second, it announced changes in the leadership team, with Fr Barry Fischer leaving to become campus chaplain at Marian University. See the announcement here.

The Sheriff's office announced that highway US 231 is now open north of Rensselaer. There is no longer a need to detour around the bridge over the Iroquois.

NITCO is giving access to some of the premium channels through December. The channels differ from week to week.

The former office of PNC Bank is now the property of Jasper County. The sale was finalized on December 7. PNC told its local employees that when it closed a branch, it kept about 80% of the deposits. Talking to a few people at other banks, I find it hard to believe that they will keep anything near that from the closed Jasper County branches. Who wants to go to Merrillville when you need help?

On Friday trucks were unloading lumber at the Autumn Trace construction site. Maybe some walls will be up next week.

There were hundreds of geese just to the west of Conagra on Friday. I took a few pictures, but none turned out well. So the picture for this post will be of the new outlet pipe that the quarry recently installed for pumping. It was being used on Friday.
