SPHS Band Boosters plan weekend haunted house

The South Putnam Music Boosters met Oct. 8 to elect a board of Directors and finalize plans for their first major fundraiser of the year.

First United reports increase in earnings

First United Savings Bank has released its results of operations for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 1991, the first quarter of its fiscal year ending June 30, 1992. “EARNINGS FOR the quarter have increased over the previous quarter and those of the same quarter one year ago, despite increasing our bad debt reserve by $60,000,” commented William M. Marley, president and chief executive officer. “It is refreshing to have this trend in our operations. Management and staff have worked hard to control costs, in both our Greencastle and Bloomington operations. The support of customers and shareholders has been overwhelming,” Marley said. Net income for the quarter was $95,352 or 18 cents per share as compared to $76,500 or 14 cents

One reason for that, of course, is that without the new highway, WalMart would not have chosen Greencastle for its 937,000-square-foot distribution center that is scheduled to begin operations Nov. 1. Wal-Mart probably would have opted for Danville, 111., instead, city officials have long said. THE WAL-MART truck also will logically represent all of the new industries since the distribu-

per share for the same quarter of last year. The primary reason for the improvement was the increase in net interest income of $78,277 for the quarter ended Sept 30,1991 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The bank’s customer deposits increased to $126,974,139 which enabled the bank to pay off advances totaling $4,300,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Total assets increased $1,243,866 during the quarter of $138,919,216 as of Sept. 30, 1991. Total loan receivables of $102,744,294 at Sept. 30, 1991 represent a net increase of $123,241 for the quarter despite sales of fixed-rate mortgage loans of $ 1,215,000 during the quarter. FIRST UNITED’S capital increased to $10,624,000 for the quarter ended Sept. 30,1991.

City Police A property-damage accident was reported Wednesday evening by Greencastle City Police as a vehicle towed by a Cloverdale man broke loose and struck a fence on the city’s South Side. Brice L. Jones, 21, was exiting the Greencastle Citgo station, driving a 1985 GMC truck, owned by Steeles’ Auto and Wrecker Service, Cloverdale. Headed southbound on Bloomington Street, Jones was towing a 1981 Datsun owned by Lewis Borgerding, 607 E. Anderson St., Greencastle. The towed vehicle came off the tow bar, Officer Albert Epple reported, and went over an embankment, striking a fence at the Jerome Gardner residence, 1214 Bloomington St Damage to the fence was listed at less than S2OO. The wrecker driven by Jones was undamaged. There was, however, no damage report available on the Borgerding vehicle. Officer Epple was assisted at the scene by Officer Darrin Cox. Putnam County Jail Two overnight arrests were reported according to Putnam County Jail officials. David Lee White, 41, Crawfordsville, was arrested at 6:30 p.m. by CapL Jim Baugh on a warrant for contempt of court. Daniel R. Sounders, 26, Route 2, Roachdale, was picked up at 9:30 p.m. on a violation of a restraining order by Roachdale Deputy Town Marshal Buser.

Monday, Oct. 7 John Ellet Jr. MD vs. the following: Katherine Ann Woodall, Patricia J. Trimble, Marcia Thompson, Jennifer S. Green, Victoria M. Benge; Robert and Evelyn Capps vs. Jerry and Pat Poehler. Clarification In Wednesday’s Banner-Graphic it was reported that Joel Brookshire discussed exceptions to the home detention portion of the sentence he received after pleading guilty to child molesting, child seduction and neglect of a dependent. Deputy Prosecutor Anne Flannelly says the plea agreement negotiated between herself and defense attorney Darrell Felling and agreed to by Brookshire currently calls for him to be on electronic monitoring 24 hours a day. That means he will not be allowed to be more than 100 feet from a detection unit that will be hooked up to his home phone. Any exceptions to that agreement will have to be asked for by the defendant and argued in court. Judge William C. Vaughn 111 will then have to make a determination of each exception. However, no exceptions currently exist.

Library director Ellen Sedlack said it is still undecided where the signs would be located yet, but the proper highway officials will be contacted about the matter.
