NOTEBOOK
- STATE NEWS: Indiana's unemployment rate is still at a near-historic low of 3.1 percent. The state’s unemployment rate has remained around 3 percent for over a year, with some minor (and mostly statistically insignificant) bumps up and down. The total number of people employed for the state is also at a 10-year high again, beating the last record-breaking employment total – which was set by the month before, April. (Indiana Public Media)
This Day in Shelby County History
2018: Tyler Theising, who had served as an assistant for the Shelbyville High School boys basketball team, accepted the head coaching position at South Ripley High School.
2013: Shelbyville's two leading hitters - Daniel Kuhn and Ethan Larrison - were selected to the Hoosier Heritage Conference's All-Conference Baseball Team.
2008: Harold Ash, 94, died. Survivors included his wife since 1935, Rachel. Following World War II, Ash had worked at Willys Jeep and later owned and operated Harold Ash Nash Sales, then Harold Ash Dodge Sales until retiring.
2003: Nine girls were selected to participate in Hoosier Girls State in a program that built leadership and provided insights into the governmental system of Indiana. The nine were Gretchen Haehl, Gwen Haehl, Jennifer Wheeler, Abby Day, Elizabeth Burbrink, Abby Tandy, Nicole Hensley, Deanna Hensley and Hadleigh Stevens.
1998: Harriet Arland, 70, died. She had retired as manager of the Shelbyville license branch and had been active in the Shelby County Republican Party, serving as county vice chairman for 25 years.
1993: A Shelbyville News article highlighted the many offerings at Girls Inc., which included 18 daily classes. "We are more than a baby sitter," Director Barbara Anderson said. "We offer and push the girls to take our math and science classes because we encourage the girls to choose nontraditional choices." The paper said, "(Anderson) talks openly and honestly about AIDS, teen pregnancies and pursuing any career the girls want despite traditional rules telling them they won't succeed."
1988: The Board of Works commended Police Capt. Mark Sullivan for arresting an armed robbery suspect only a few minutes after a local gas station robbery and Patrolman Mark Weidner for apprehending a burglary suspect just after the burglary occurred at a different filling station.
1983: A new sign was installed at the JustRite Family Restaurant on E. Broadway, which was slated to re-open soon.
1978: The plat for the proposed Knightstown Village subdivision was approved by the city plan commission. The plat included lots for 124 homes to be located north of Coulston school and south of Brentwood Addition. The first section would include development of 20 lots. The county plan commission approved Cardinal Court Subdivision, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Earl Wilson, for 10 lots.
1973: A six-run third inning enabled Soll Service to get by Howard and Harry, 9-7, in Fairland Little League action. Mike Bennett hit two singles and Chuck McGinnsie had a double for the winners. Bonded Oil held off rallies by Brownies Marine for an 11-9 win. For Bonded, Bill Coy, Darren Crosby, Jeff Woodward and Keith Mullins all had big plays. Eugene Burns and Jeff McIver played well on the losing team.
1968: A newspaper photo showed three Shelbyville kids - Danny Wickizer, Todd Sexton and Lee Sorrell - with Coach Elmer McCall at DePauw University's basketball camp. The boys also received instruction in bowling, swimming, tennis and ping pong.
1963: Navy Ensign James Graham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kermitt Graham, graduated from Officer Candiate School at Newport, R.I. He then received his commission as a naval officer.
1958: A "capping ceremony" was held for 10 women at the Elks Club for those serving as Red Cross Gray Ladies. Those participating were Mesdames Donald Lapray, Herman Tillison, Harry Murphy, H.J. Crowley, Robert Hanna, Arnold Uggla, C.J. Wyszynski, A.R. Ryan, William Spiegel and Joseph Kremzier, The Republican reported.
1953: Gen Pro. Inc., a subsidiary of Tokheim Oil Tank and Pump Company of Fort Wayne, leased the James Law factory building at 801 St. Joe St., just west of the Chambers Corp. The company would make air compressors, hand fuel pumps and valves and fittings for use on farms and in filling stations.
1948: A group of men gathered to plant the corn crop for Dale Pruitt, who had been confined to his home for several weeks due to illness. Those helping were Elmo and Pat Hanahan, Harry Holton, Elmer Collins, John Taylor, A.J. Tucker, Robert Tucker, Ed and Jimmy Harlemert, Elisha Moore, Oscar Bright and Frank Butcher.
1943: "Shelbyville's controversial curfew law advanced to a third reading," The Republican reported. The new law would prohibit all children under 17 years of age from being on the streets or in public places after 11 p.m. without parental permission.
1938: Porter Pool opened for the summer, with 90 boys and 40 girls swimming on day one in rather cool weather.
1933: Mayor L.E. Webb responded to complaints about the state of the tennis courts in Morrison Park. The Mayor said the park board lacked the necessary money to make improvements. All of the money in the account was allocated for staffing, he said.
1928: Mayor James Emmert endorsed naming City Park in honor of Laura Morrison. City Council then passed a resolution on the matter. Emmert noted that Morrison had worked "long and hard in the interest of the park, and has, in great measure, been responsible for making the park the place of beauty and recreation which it now is."
1923: The Shelby County Fair board met to discuss whether or not to hold a "night fair" during the county fair, during which a band would provide entertainment each night. A couple of the board members voiced opposition to the proposal and no action was taken.
