Indiana Extension Homemakers Week is Oct. 15 to 19 and a display was used during September to highlight the local homemakers’ activities for Huntington County at the Huntington Branch of the Huntington City-Township Public Library.
This month members of the Huntington County Extension Homemakers will read books to the preschoolers at Head Start. The organization reads to the children four times a year. In preparation for the event, the extension homemakers made 72 book bags to give to the children at the first reading to keep their books in.

The Huntington Common Council got the ball rolling on the process of constructing a new police station during its meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9.
The board passed a resolution that accepted a petition from citizens calling for the city to finance the construction of the new station via the lease bond approach. This is a financing method for public improvements that is available to all municipalities in the state. In order to utilize this method, a municipality must first receive a petition that has been signed by 50 or more taxpayers within its boundaries.
