Indiana Democrat gubernatorial candidate Joe Andrews will be the featured speaker at the Jay County Democrat’s annual Jefferson Jackson dinner.
The dinner is set for Saturday, Sept. 27, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Women’s Building at the Jay County Fairgrounds.
Tickets are $12.50 and may be purchased from Randy Geesaman at (260) 726-8298; Tim Southworth (260) 335-2012; Hedy Loper (260) 726-2611; or Paula Davidson (260) 726-7679.
Deal
The United Auto Workers said this morning it reached a tentative contract agreement with General Motors, the last of the Big Three automakers to settle.
The Associated Press reported a tentative deal also was reached with automotive supplier Delphi Corp. The deals were announced more than three days after labor pacts expired.
The UAW earlier this week reached tentative agreements with Ford Motor Co., DaimlerChrysler AG’s Chrysler Group and supplier Visteon Corp.
“In the last five days we have successfully concluded negotiations with five of the largest manufacturers in the world,” UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said. “That’s five for five.”
GM, the world’s largest automaker, has 115,000 active UAW workers and another 340,000 retirees and spouses. Delphi has 30,000 UAW workers.
Indicted
A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted seven people on charges they were involved in a scheme to steal more than $220,000 from a state pension fund, The Associated Press reported.
The indictment charges James Spaulding, 26, of Indianapolis with organizing the thefts while he was a temporary employee at the Public Employees Retirement Fund in 2002, prosecutors said.
Deaths
Larry S. Wilmes, 47, Ferdinand, father of a Portland resident.
Lois J. Ludwick, 78, Albany, relative of Dunkirk residents.
Doris Campbell, 91, Dunkirk.

Weather
Skies will be partly cloudy early this evening, then becoming mostly cloudy. Lows will be in the middle 50s and winds will be from the east at 10 to 15 mph.
There will be a 30 percent chance of showers on Friday, with highs topping out near 70.
The high temperature Wednesday was 72, while the low recorded at the Portland weather observation station was 52. Today’s 7 a.m. temperature was unavailable.
Friday night’s outlook calls for partly cloudy and cool conditions, with lows in the upper 40s.
On Saturday, expect mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s, with lows dropping into the upper 40s Saturday night.
Partly cloudy skies linger on Sunday, with temperatures slightly warmer into the middle 70s.
A chance of showers and storms comes back on Monday and Tuesday, with highs each day in the 70s.
