Shelby County Players
Shelby County Players will hold auditions for its upcoming Agatha Christie mystery drama, "The Unexpected Guest," 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 11 and 12 at Shelby Community Theatre, 16 S. Tompkins St. Performances are scheduled for Oct. 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Oct. 11 at 2 p.m. Casting calls for seven men and three women, ages 18 to 80.

The thriller is set in a foggy estate in Wales. A stranger tries to help a woman blame the murder of her husband on an intruder, but the police discover clues that point to a man who died two years previously, and a Pandora’s box of loves and hates, suspicions and intrigues is opened to the night air. Just when the murder seems solved, a plot twist is guaranteed to surprise one and all.

Director Tiffany Wilson will ask those who audition for the show to read from the script; no previous experience is necessary. People interested in backstage and other crew positions should come to auditions to fill out an application form. For additional information, contact Wilson at (317) 392-6844; please leave a message!

Early World of Learning, Inc.
Early World Of Learning, Inc. set Foundation Training as a priority goal to continue for the next two years. The plan is to bring awareness to the parents regarding the need for pre-school teachers and child care providers to have training in the Foundations for young children, birth –5 years, and to tract the progress of Shelby County pre-schools and daycare homes in completing this important training. The Foundations were established by the Indiana State Department of Education and provide a link to the school academic standards.

The kick-off of the goal began last August with a Foundation workshop open to all counties. Among the participants from Shelby County were four Shelbyville and one Waldron home daycares: Tina Kuechler, (Little Friends Play Skool, 317-604-5301); Katy Raisor (Katy’s Kountry Kids, Inc., 317-729-5010); Cathy Schultz (Cathy’s Country Care, Inc., 317-729-5045); Bobbi J. Smothers (B & J Child Care, 317-398-6187); and Ginger J. Taylor (A Place for Me Child Care, 765-525-4224). These individuals were invited to vote on trainings that have now become part of this year’s Early Childhood Education Conference.

Early World has partnered with Huffer Memorial Children’s Center to bring 6-1/2 training hours at a low cost of $5.00 per participant. The conference is being hosted by Shelbyville Central Schools on Saturday, August 8, 2009, beginning at 8:00 am at the Blue River Career Center. Introduction to Foundations is one of the key workshops being offered by Huffer. For those who have completed the introductory training, a “Foundations – Exploring Science and Math” training is being offered. This training is being presented by two Ivy Tech Community College Associate Professors, Diane Smith and Connie Gassner.

Also, all eleven different workshops available at the conference have been approved by the State of Indiana to count as Foster Parent in-service training hours.

Registration forms are available at TraderBaker’s Flea Market, booth #31. Registrations need to be mailed to Early World Of Learning, Inc., 7417 S 400 E, Waldron, IN 46182, by July 20 to secure the $5.00 rate. If any questions, call 765-525-4224 or e-mail ewol@iquest.net

RushShelby Energy
RushShelby Energy was honored by the rural electric program with two national awards. An “Award of Excellence” was presented to the website, www.rse.coop. Jason Clemmons serves as the webmaster and utilized the services of a web designer, Tracy Stephenson, to completely update the site in 2008.

RSE has had a web presence since its creation in 1999, and continuously makes updates to the site so it is attractive and more user-friendly. Not only the content, but colors, fonts, and graphics are all a pat of the ‘eye-appealing’ process.

We are working to create more forms that can be easily completed and returned without printing a copy. We are including more information related to government activity as it relates to a consumer’s bill and create information that appeals to children as well.
We hope you are a regular visitor to our website. Please send us your suggestions for improving the site to make it more valuable for you.
Second award

A second “Award of Excellence” was presented for the production of the 2008 Annual Meeting Video Report. The Consumer Services team of Dave Sheets, Jason Clemmons, and Trudy Jones worked on the production on the spring of 2008 with assistance from IT leader, Brad Rogers.

The video is a way to remind consumers at the annual meeting of the activities of the past fiscal year. It includes accomplishments, financial data, and sometimes bad news but serves as a valuable reminder of where we came from since we last met. The pictures and music support a script that hopes to tell our story in a way that is short, to the point and informative.

While the 2009 video report has already been used at the March annual meeting, the award serves as a challenge to the group to do even more in 2010. Congratulations to all of the employees involved in these projects.
