The monthly paper made the announcement in the June edition, citing rising costs and declining ad revenue and readership for the reason for the closure. "The Greentown Grapevine staff is saddened to see the local newspaper come to an end," read the article announcing the closure. "It was an extremely difficult decision to make. We are thankful for the community's support and concern." Greentown resident Rachel Jenkins started the newspaper in 1994. For years, she served as the sole reporter, editor and designer. When she retired in 2013, the paper was set to close until administrators at Eastern High School made the unexpected deci- sion to take it over and publish it through the school. — The Kokomo Tribune Greentown Grapevine ceases publication
