CORNELIA – Cornelia’s iconic Big Red Apple monument downtown is nearly 100 years old and is showing its age.
For that reason, the city commission has voted to spend nearly $16,000 for rehab of the historic structure located beside the railroad tracks.
“The Big Red Apple was molded in 1925 and it has stood at the train depot since 1926,” said Cornelia City Manager Donald Anderson. “For nearly 100 years it has been the symbol of Cornelia. The monument is made of concrete and steel and after 95 years of being exposed to the elements it is in serious need of repairs.”
Cornelia’s engineering firm, Carter & Sloope, prepared and advertised a request for proposals soliciting bids to restore the Big Red Apple.

Bill would accelerate schools resegregation
Accusations of racism roiled an Indiana House debate last month and rightly drew attention to the uncivil atmosphere of this year s session. But the controversy shouldn t serve as cover for the bad piece of legislation that precipitated the discord. The bill could hasten the resegregation of schools already occurring under voucher and charter programs and sharpen the economic divide among the state s three school systems.
House Bill 1367 would establish a pilot program allowing a single township in St. Joseph County to withdraw from the South Bend Community School Corp. for annexation by the rural, much-smaller John Glenn School Corp. While it currently affects only those two districts, opponents rightly noted that once approved, the legislation could serve as a mechanism for localities statewide to pull out of one district and join another. Imagine Cedar Creek Township, home to the Leo-area schools, leaving East Allen County
Advocates for nursing home residents have criticized Indiana officials for failing to crack down on nursing homes despite the large COVID-19 death toll in those facilities.
The criticism comes after the state disclosed more than 600 unreported nursing deaths last week. State health officials have blamed nursing homes for failing to properly report the deaths, but so far they have no plans to sanction violators, IndyStar reported.
While many states have launched investigations or implemented reforms, Gov. Eric Holcomb and other Indiana leaders have been largely deferential to the industry, which has historically had significant political influence in the state.
Indiana s approach stands in stark contrast to the more aggressive actions of other leaders across the country. Here s how officials in other states have responded to the COVID-19 crisis in nursing homes.
