Jacob Billingsly of PEC says that voting is easy for members.

“Any member in the Plateau Electric service territory can come to either of our office locations,” Billingsly said.

“If you’re in Scott County, come to our warehouse behind the building. If you’re in Morgan County it will be in (at the warehouse) where we park our trucks.”

Voting booths will be set up at these locations. The vote will take place between 9am and 4pm. Listen to WECO news early Monday morning to hear the results.

This Saturday, the Obed Wild and Scenic River will have its annual clean-up day and volunteer appreciation lunch. Those wishing to volunteer should bring water, insect repellent, sun block and should wear sturdy shoes. The cleanup will start at 8:30am with a sign up at the Obed Visitor Center in Wartburg. At noon, anyone who has volunteered for the Obed is invited to the visitor center for an appreciation lunch. Call the park at 346-6294 for more information.

Next Monday, the Morgan County Budget Committee will meet at 6pm. The location of the meeting has been changed. The meeting was originally scheduled to take place at the Morgan County School’s Central Office, but will now take place in the 3^rd Floor Courtroom of the Morgan County Courthouse.

Next Tuesday, the Morgan County Building Committee will meet at 5pm in the 2^nd Floor Courtroom of the Courthouse. The public is encouraged to attend these meetings.

WECO’s signature event, The Outdoor Show has officially been scheduled. This is the 24^th year that the event will be held. The date is set for July 21^st for the Courthouse Square in Wartburg. The event will feature a food court, live entertainment, a singing competition, vendor booths and more. Those interested in obtaining a booth for the show can call WECO General Manager Ed Knight at 346-3900. More information about the event will be released between now and the show date.

In Sports, Morgan County will be a host to a softball substate game tonight, when North Greene makes the trip to Coalfield to take on the Yellow Jackets. The winner of tonight’s game will advance to the Spring Fling in Murfreesboro. First pitch for that game is scheduled for 5:30. In baseball, another area team isn’t as lucky, as Rockwood will actually have to travel to North Greene tonight for a chance at Spring Fling. First pitch is scheduled for 7pm.

And finally, texting is a wonderful technology, but it can also get you into trouble. Two women face possible charges after authorities say a text message seeking the illegal purchase of alcohol was mistakenly sent to an Alaska State Trooper. The trooper responded to the texts and arranged a meeting. Authorities say the woman who sent the texts and another alleged buyer showed up to the meeting. So did the trooper, in uniform. Alcohol sales are barred in Bethel, Alaska, because no one has been cleared to sell it in the community. Both women face possible misdemeanor charges.

Storehouse Ministries in Wartburg provides families in need with food and other items, and Storehouse got a taste of its own medicine Saturday from the Roane County Postal Offices, according to volunteer Paul Mayton.

“They had a food drive,” Mayton said. “We were just blessed that this came from Roane County.”

While WECO was there, an exact number of donated items was handed to Mary Simpson of Storehouse .

“I just got a list here that told us how many items we got,” Mary said reading from the small sheet of paper. “Wow, 3,162 food items… wow, God is good.”

Storehouse Ministries is now in need of boxes to help distribute the food. If you have empty boxes that you would like to donate, you can leave them on the covered porch at Storehouse Ministries, on Main Street in Wartburg, or call 346-6286.

And finally, if given the opportunity, would you deceive a crook? In Washington state, a homeowner who’d awoken to the sounds of a burglary in progress yelled out, “Get out! I have a gun!” The burglar replied “Yes, sir!” and fled, leaving a lot of the loot behind. That afternoon, the burglar called and said he would return the stolen goods if the homeowner would return his left-behind property — including his identification — and not call the police. But when the burglar turned up to carry out the transaction, the cops were waiting.

The school year is quickly wrapping up in Morgan County.

“We like to reward students at the end of the year for a great year of hard work and effort,” she stated.

Assistant Principal Dr. Joe Miller says that a lot of area businesses and organizations were even involved.

“We’ve had a lot of donations from different companies such as Hardees of Wartburg, Morgan Pro Hardware, Tiger Food Mart and our rescue and volunteer personnel volunteered their valuable time among other things,” Dr. Miller explained.

The fire department, the Army National Guard, and area police departments were among those involved. The school year officially ends with a half day next Wednesday.

This Saturday, the Obed Wild and Scenic River will have its annual clean-up day and volunteer appreciation lunch.

And finally, if your friend asked you to shoot him in the leg, would you? Police in New York state said they arrested a man accused of agreeing to do a favor for a friend. They say Shawn Mossow allegedly shot a 24-year-old friend in the leg with a .22-caliber rifle Sunday (in Stockholm) because the other man was curious about what it would feel like and asked him to take the shot. The victim was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and is expected to fully recover.

This is WECO’s Signature Event and this year’s show promises to be bigger and better than ever with Live Music, Food and Family Fun for everyone.
