Meet tonight
The Redkey Town Council will meet today at 6 p.m. at the town hall. Among the items expected to be discussed is a tax rate problem which came to light last week. Because of failures to advertise and hold a hearing on the tax rate, the town faces the possibility of the loss of much of its revenue.
Arrested
A Dunkirk man was arrested Saturday by Dunkirk police for class D felony battery to a law enforcement officer.
Clinton E. Jacobs, 19, 115 Barbier St., allegedly struck a Dunkirk police officer several times on Friday. He was arrested on Saturday by another Dunkirk officer.
As of this morning, Jacobs was being held at the Jay County Jail on $3,000 bond.
A Pennville man was arrested by Redkey police for felony driving with a suspended driver’s license and misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.
Arthur Dale Miller, 34, 415 N. Union St., was arrested for class D felony driving while being designated as a habitual traffic violator and class A misdemeanor driving while intoxicated after he was pulled over by police.
As of this morning Miller was being held on $5,000 bond at the Jay County Jail.
Campaigning
Republican gubernatorial hopeful David McIntosh brings his campaign back to Jay County with a stop at the West Jay Community Center in Dunkirk today at 6 p.m.
Celebrate
It was not an ordinary birthday weekend for Mei-Fen Yeh of Omaha, Neb. — not that 100th birthdays are ever ordinary.
With granddaughter Francis Phang, 16, translating, the native of Hangzhou, China, became a U.S. citizen on Sunday, a day after she turned 100, The Associated Press reported.
That made Yeh the oldest person in Nebraska or Iowa to ever take the oath of citizenship, said Jerry Heinauer, district director of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.
It was the culmination of a 10-year project for her family, who helped her learn enough American history and teach her enough English to pass the citizenship test.
Deaths
DuBois Puterbaugh, 89, Portland.
Mildred Heniscey, 87, Portland.
Stephen LeRoy Cash, 62, Winchester, father of a Ridgeville resident.
Somer Renee Doll, 25, Fort Wayne, a former resident of Pennville.
