Six graduating seniors in Clark, Floyd and Harrison counties will receive the generous, well-earned gift of full-tuition scholarships as the Community Foundation of Southern Indiana’s 2009 Lilly Endowment Community Scholars.
In addition to full tuition to the accredited Indiana college or university of their choice, the students will receive an $800 annual stipend for books and equipment.
Honored scholars from each county were recommended by an independent committee of civic volunteers who assessed applicants anonymously from a county other than the one in which the committee members lived. Also, the students’ names were not revealed to the committee members.

Based on the rankings of six community indicators from the 2004 Uniform Crime Reports, the State of Indiana Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup identified Floyd County as ranking in the top ten of the communities identified as “high need” for alcohol-related prevention funding.
The indicators included: 1) number of alcohol-related fatal auto accidents; 2) the rate of alcohol-related fatal auto accidents; 3) number of alcohol-related crashes; 4) rate of alcohol-related crashes; 5) number of arrests for public intoxication; and 6) rate of public intoxication arrests.
For each of the six indicators, counties were given four points if they were in the top 10th percentile, three points if they were in the top 15th percentile, two points if they were in the top 25th percentile and one point if they were in the top 50th percentile. The total points were then summed to total an overall alcohol priority score.
Floyd County received a score of 16, which placed it eighth overall in level of need. |

Three local area students, Anne Liddick of Greenville, Hanna Aven of Georgetown, and Jeffrey D. Collins of Floyds Knobs, recently served as Senate Pages for Senator Connie Sipes of New Albany on March 19.
Pages spend one day at the State House assisting senators and Senate staff members with a variety of legislative duties and learning about the structure of Indiana's government.
According to the Senator, visiting the State Capitol and serving as a page for the General Assembly provides young people, who are in sixth grade or above, the opportunity to observe and participate in the legislative process. |
