It does not address, in a systemic way, what we need as busi- ness owners, which is a bet- ter education on life skills and basic skills coming out of high school. Dubois County is the highest wage payer and lowest unemployment coun- ty in the state. We'll get kids coming in on a Friday and say they will be there on a Mon- day and are no shows. I don't know how you change it, but it starts at middle school and high school." Braun added, "The dy- namics can change when you wrap what there is here with high school curriculum. But higher education in govern- ment has mostly given it lip service and not put the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves effort like folks like you and me would give it." He said they still push the only way to be successful in life is to get a four-year degree and that typical Indiana high school classes in fields such as sci- ence and math do not address the areas of entrepreneurship and innovative ideas for busi- ness.

Pike County Deputy Sheriff Jason McK- inney said Jared Todd, of 1690 Vera Dr., Bloomington, was driving south on I-69 when a deer ran into the road- way, causing him to swerve into the median. He lost control and went across I-69, and hit the end of a guard rail head-on. The man was uninjured, but the guardrail stuck in the front of the car. Deputy McKinney said the wheel went over the guardrail it got caught between the wheel and fender. Above: Petersburg Fireman and EMA Director Ryan Benner saws off part of the guardrail to get the vehicle free. It happened at 7:23 a.m. deavor for start-up compa- nies and individual entrepre- neurs.
