Soy vote
Area soybean farmers can vote for new directors for the Indiana Soybean Board.
Three positions are available in District II, and three candidates are running. District II includes Jay, Adams, Randolph, Blackford, Delaware, Wells, Allen, DeKalb, Grant, Henry, Huntington, LaGrange, Madison, Noble, Steuben, Wayne, and Whitley counties.
The candidates are Jeff Jordan of Wayne County, who is a past director of the Ohio Pork Producers Association, Jim Schriver of Wells County, who has served on the Indiana Soybean Board since 1998, and David Williamson of Wayne County, who has served on the board since 1997.
Soybean farmers can get a ballot from the Jay County Extension Office. Votes must be cast between Nov. 10 and Nov. 21.
No thanks
The Supreme Court refused Monday to enter the long-running fight over an enormous monument depicting the Ten Commandments and the renegade judge who wants to keep the biblical list on display in an Alabama courthouse, The Associated Press reported.
The court quietly rejected appeals from suspended Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who had argued that the monument properly acknowledges “God as the source of the community morality so essential to a self-governing society.”
Moore was suspended as chief justice for defying a federal court order to remove the monument. He goes on trial before the Alabama Court of the Judiciary on Nov. 12 on face judicial ethics charges for his refusal to comply with the order.
The Supreme Court’s action is not a ruling on the thorny question of whether the Ten Commandments may be displayed in government buildings or in the public square. It merely reflects the high court’s unwillingness to hear the appeal.
Lower courts have splintered on the issue, allowing depictions of the Ten Commandments in some instances and not in others.
